These electron micrographs show cells that have died by (A) necrosis or (B and C) apoptosis. The cells in (A) and (B) died in a
culture dish, whereas the cell in (C) died in a developing tissue and has been engulfed by a neighboring cell. Note that the cell in (A)
seems to have exploded, whereas those in (B) and (C) have condensed but seem relatively intact. The large vacuoles visible in the
cytoplasm of the cell in (B) are a variable feature of apoptosis.
MECHANISM

Machinery depends on a family of proteases called

2 TYPES OF PATHWAY 2 TYPES OF PATHWAY
EXTRINSIC
PATHWAY
Procaspase activation
can be triggered from
outside the cell by
activation of death
receptor on the cell
surface.
1.
INTRINSIC PATHWAY
Procaspase
activation can be
initiate under cell.
2.
EXTRINSIC PATHWAY
EXTRINSIC PATHWAY
oFas protein binds with intracellular "adaptor proteins" that aggregate
with procaspase 8 molecule and make complex.
oKiiler Lymphocyte producing a protein called Fas ligand.
Then caspase 8 molecule is activated by cleave one another and they
are activate other downstream procaspase and induce apoptosis.
Fas ligand binds with Fas protein of death receptor on the surface
of target cell.
By extracellular stimuliBy extracellular stimuli
INTRINSIC PATHWAY
INTRINSIC PATHWAY
oWhen cells are damaged or stressed they can also kill themselves by
triggering procaspase activation from within the cell.
oEg. If mitochondria are injured they are induced to release the
electron carrier protein cytochrome c into cytosol.
By extracellular stimuliBy extracellular stimuli
oWhere its bind and activate adaptor protein called Apaf – 1.
oAggregation of Apaf 1 and binding of 'procaspase – 9'.
oActivation of procaspase – 9 and make Caspase Cascade.
oApoptosis.
These protein belongs to Bcl-2 protein family.
This response usually require p53 protein which can
recognize damaged - DNA and activates the
transcriptions of genes that encode proteins that
promote the release of cytochrome – 6 from
mitochondria.

If the gene encoding Bax and Bak are both inactivated cells are remarkably

INHIBITOR OF APOPTOSIS
1.They bind to some procaspase to prevent their
activation.
2. They bind to caspase to inhibit their activity.
These proteins are inhibit apoptosis in two ways:-

IMPORTANCE
Cell death balances the cell division.
(A) The paw in this mouse embryo has been stained
with a dye that specifically labels cells that have
undergone apoptosis. The apoptotic cells appear
as bright green dots between the developing digits.
(B) This interdigital cell death eliminates the
tissue between the developing digits, as seen one
day later, when few, if any, apoptotic cells can be
seen.
As a tadpole changes into a frog, the cells in the
tadpole tail are induced to undergo apoptosis; as a
consequence, the tail is lost. All the changes that
occur during metamorphosis, including the induction
of apoptosis in the tail, are stimulated by an
increase in thyroid hormone in the blood.
CONCLUSIONS
Apoptosis is a form of programmed cell death, or "cellular suicide" (different from
necrosis, in which cells die due to injury).
Apoptosis is an orderly process in which the cell's contents break down and are
packaged into small packets of membrane for "garbage collection" by immune cells
(contrasting with necrosis in which the dying cell's contents spill out and cause
inflammation).
Apoptosis removes cells during development. It also eliminates pre-cancerous and virus
-infected cells. Apoptosis maintains the balance of cells in the human body and is
particularly important in the immune system.
