Abstract

Cell death is as important as cell division in both physiological and pathological processes. Three major types of cell death have been described: apoptosis, autophagy and necrosis. Apoptosis is a form of programmed cell death, mediated by caspases. Autophagy is an evolutionarily conserved process involving lysosomes, implicated in both cell survival and death. Necrosis is believed to be an unregulated process, followed by release of intracellular components. The epithelial-specific intermediate filament cytokeratin 18 (Kl8) has different fates depending on the type of cell death. During apoptosis, K18 is cleaved at two sites into three fragments, one of which is specifically recognized by the monoclonal antibody, M30. During autophagy K18 is reported to stay uncleaved. Necrotic cells are considered to release K18. Thus, serum levels of different forms of K18 would reflect the type of cell death occurring in the body. Two enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays have been developed: one for the cleaved fragments of K18 and the other for total K18. Detection of serum levels of cleaved and total K18 showed that the ratios between cleaved and total K18 were highly variable among patients with endometrial cancer. Monitoring serum levels ...Continue Reading

Apoptosis in Cancer

Apoptosis is an important mechanism in cancer. By evading apoptosis, tumors can continue to grow without regulation and metastasize systemically. Many therapies are evaluating the use of pro-apoptotic activation to eliminate cancer growth. Here is the latest research on apoptosis in cancer.

Autophagy & Disease

Autophagy is an important cellular process for normal physiology and both elevated and decreased levels of autophagy are associated with disease. Here is the latest research.

Parkinson's Disease & Autophagy (MDS)

Autophagy leads to degradation of damaged proteins and organelles by the lysosome. Impaired autophagy has been implicated in several diseases. Here is the role of autophagy in Parkinson’s disease.

Apoptotic Caspases

Apoptotic caspases belong to the protease enzyme family and are known to play an essential role in inflammation and programmed cell death. Here is the latest research.

Apoptosis

Apoptosis is a specific process that leads to programmed cell death through the activation of an evolutionary conserved intracellular pathway leading to pathognomic cellular changes distinct from cellular necrosis

Autophagy & Metabolism

Autophagy preserves the health of cells and tissues by replacing outdated and damaged cellular components with fresh ones. In starvation, it provides an internal source of nutrients for energy generation and, thus, survival. A powerful promoter of metabolic homeostasis at both the cellular and whole-animal level, autophagy prevents degenerative diseases. It does have a downside, however--cancer cells exploit it to survive in nutrient-poor tumors.

Autophagy & Model Organisms

Autophagy is a cellular process that allows degradation by the lysosome of cytoplasmic components such as proteins or organelles. Here is the latest research on autophagy & model organisms
