Cards

Term

Programmed Cell Death (other name??)

 

_____ cells undergo apotosis each day

List the mutliple triggers

Definition

apotosis

 

50-70 billiion cells

 

cellular damage, viral infection, starvation, DNA damage, homeostasis.

 

 

Term
Which method is preferred: apotosis or necrosis? and y?
Definition
apotosis is preferred bc necrosis is leaky, dirty, cause inflammation, release cytokin, and messy cell death
Term
APOPTOTIC STEPS
Definition

1. normal cell

2. nuclear condensation, membrane blebbing, and cell shrinkage

3. fragments, apoptotic bodies, phagocytosis,

Term

Apoptotosis in Normal development

important in ______ development?

 

Some cells undergo ______ to give a tissue or organ its ____

Definition

embryonic

 

apoptosis, final shape

Term

Mitochondria and apoptosis

WHat do apoptotic target?

 

Bind to _______
–IAPs normally   _____ apoptosis and _______ caspases


–IAPs deactivated
–Apoptosis ________

Definition

Apoptotic proteins target the mitochondria
• SMACs are released into the cytosol following
an increase in permeability

 

inhibitor of apoptosis protein

suppress, inactivate

can proceed

Term
Apoptotic into a mitochondria
Definition

apoptotic signal binds with a pro-apoptotosis protein (ie bad).

-they go (release of BAD) and attack the mitchondria  and poke hole into it until it becomes permeable (leaky).

-There the smacs r released into cytochrome C (once it gets here it is determined to complete apoptosis).

-Cytosol goes to active intiator caspases (cascade 9 and apaf-1)

-then makes cascade 3

Term
Death receptor Pathway
Definition

cytotoxic t-cell and ligand are bound to eachother

-ligna binds to death receptor

- procaspase 8& 10 are made into caspase 8&10 (initiator caspases) through autocatalysis and FADD (adaptor protein)

-procaspase 3,6,7 get activated by caspase 8 & 10 and are considered (execution caspases)

- from there caspase 3 is mixed with Bid to make tBid (Bcl-2protein)

-this causes mitochondrial permeability to increase

 

-caspase 6 makes dna fragmentation

 

-caspase 7 makes surface alterations

Term

Statins and apoptosis


• Heavy investigation into their use in _________  
(altered prenylation (adding a hydophobic group) of Ras and RhoA)

 

- statins cause reduction of mitochondrial membrane
potential and the cytosolicrelease of Smac,
caspase-dependent sincecaspases 9, 3 AND 8
were efficiently ______

 

Definition

statins are magic  drug for cholesterol

 

immunomodulatory (control immune system), anti-inflammatory,anti-
angiogenic (help with cancer cells) and anti-proliferative (make more cells)

 

cancer cell apotosis

 

-activated

Term
Do apoptosis like to have lots of options so any cell can undergo apoptosis?
Definition
yes, likes lots of back up plans
Term

DNA damage and apoptosis

- Following DNA damage, p53 (tumor suppressor protein) is ________

 

• p53 prevents the cell from replicating by stopping the cell cycle at ________.

 

--time to repair or apoptosis due to inability to repair


Definition

- activated

 

• G1

Term

Cancer and apoptosis

-____ of apoptosis

--too ______  apoptosis and withdrawal of response

---Mutations in "normal suppressing" genes (p__)

Definition

-disregulation

-- little

---p53
