- W2008741758 abstract "Programmed cell death or apoptosis occurs under physiological conditions as a result of physiological effectors. It is a relatively slower process and requires active participation of the cell in the suicidal mechanism. Apoptosis is controlled by precise intrinsic genetic programme and may be induced by almost all those stimuli causing necrosis. The role played by the intensity in determining the death process and the underlying mechanism is imperfectly understood. Morphologically apoptotic cells appear as small condensed body. The chromatin is dense and fragmented, packed into compact membrane-bound bodies together with randomly distributed cell organelles. The plasma membrane loses its characteristic architecture and shows extensive blebbing. It buds off projections so that the whole cell may split into several membrane-bound apoptotic bodies. Significant chemical changes take place in the plasma membrane. This helps in recognition of the apoptotic bodies by phagocytes. At this moment it is unclear if all cells can undergo apoptosis or it is a characteristic of only some tissues which are predisposed to apoptotic death being directly under the control of hormones or growth factors. Experimental studies aimed at comparison of induction of apoptosis in cells of different origin are warranted to elucidate this point. Biochemically a pre-commitment step for induction of death programmation through macromolecular synthesis is essential for most systems. The double-stranded linker DNA between nucleosomes is cleaved at regular inter-nucleosomal sites through the action of a Ca2+, Mg(2+)-sensitive neutral endonuclease. Zinc is a potent inhibitor of the enzyme. Calcium probably plays a key controlling role in activation of the enzyme since prevention of Ca2+ increase prevents endonuclease activation. It is becoming evident that signal transduction through appropriate receptors control the Ca2+ flux in the cells. Most apoptotic cells require synthesis of RNA and proteins. Delay or abrogation of apoptosis by inhibition of macromolecular synthesis is well known. The dying cells show high mRNA levels for several enzymes. Several degradative enzymes become active. Regulatory proteins maintain control over the apoptotic cascade. At the molecular level, search has been initiated for the mammalian equivalents of the cell death (ced) gene. Activation of several specific genes is indicated. Specific expression of cell death-associated gene products (e.g. TRPM-2/SGP-2) has been reported in several unrelated apoptotic cell systems. Sequential induction of c-fos, c-myc and 70 kDa heat shock protein is reported. Studies demonstrate that certain genes must remain in a transcriptionally active demethylated state during programmed cell death. Recent evidences clearly indicate that apoptosis may be positively or negatively modulated by certain genes.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 400 WORDS)" @default.
