23 Modes of cell death
Necrosis Apoptosis mitotic
catastrophe Autophagy
3Necrosis
groups of cells die cell swells
passive inflammatory response
4Apoptosis
individual cells die cell shrinks
active process energy specific genes
required no inflammation
5Autophagy
cell self-digests large double-membrane
vacuoles nucleus cytoskeleton remain intact
until late
6Necrosis
Knee replacement / Warfarin
Silicone implant
Burn
7Sequence of Events in Necrosis
Membrane becomes permeable Ca enters or
is released from ER stores Cell swells due to
osmosis Ca activates calpain, ruptures
lysosomes Lysosomal enzymes are released and
activated by Ca eg cathepsin DNA is degraded
to nucleotides (random smear on gel)
Inflammatory response
8Sequence of Events in Necrosis
9Necrosis - g
Parent cell was g-irradiated in G1 and it divided
43 hrs after irradiation. Daughter cell is shown
(arrow). It changes from a normal-looking flat
cell (at 10 min) to a cell in which the membrane
ruptures (20 min) and the cell "explodes" (30
min).

16Sequence of Events in Apoptosis
Cell rounds up, communication with neighbors
stops Cell membrane forms blebs
Phosphatidylserine flips over (inner membrane ?
outer) Proteins crosslinked (transglutaminase,
stabilizes blebs) b-tubulin, actin
polymerize Cell shrinks Chromatin
condenses ('pyknotic nuclei') DNA cleaved
stepwise (DNA ladder) 50,000 - 300,000 bp then
185 bp (internucleosomal cuts) Macrophages
recognize altered carbohydrates via lectin
receptors phagocytize apoptotic bodies No
inflammatory response Series of genes are
involved, including p53

20Necrosis vs. Apoptosis
www.celldeath.de/encyclo/aporev/aporev.htm
21Mitotic Catastrophe
Occurs during mitosis, 1-3 cell divisions
after g-irradiation (necrosis and apoptosis
can occur at interphase) Giant, multinucleate
cells with uncondensed chromatin DNA damage
response ? centrosome amplification ?
abnormal chromosome segregation Lethal
chromosome aberrations (rings dicentrics)
Dominates in apoptosis-defective cells, eg tumor
cell lines Often followed by apoptosis. "Is
not a mode of cell death but a means to cell
death." Lehnert It's unclear to me what
happens in tumors in a patient.
22Mitotic Cell Death
Aberrant mitosis in a L5178 cell after 4 Gy
12 hr after irradiation blocked in G2 20
hr attempts division 22 hr divides and
fuses 45 minutes later 24 hr apoptosis starts

23Clonogenic Cell Death in C. elegans
g-irradiate larvae, esp. during mitosis ? cells
die 3 cell generations later, during
organogenesis organ abnormalities chromosome
aberrations / micronuclei unknown note
holocentric chromosomes (spindle binds entire
xsome) not apoptosis no pyknosis caspase-i
ndependent active process requires DNA damage
response ? RAS pathway Ca role unknown
