Strategies for Tracking Anastasis, A Cell Survival Phenomenon that Reverses Apoptosis12:55

Strategies for Tracking Anastasis, A Cell Survival Phenomenon that Reverses Apoptosis

18.5K
The term anastasis refers to the phenomenon in which dying cells reverse a cell suicide process at a late stage, repair themselves, and ultimately survive. Here we demonstrate protocols for detecting and tracking cells that undergo anastasis.

Real Time Detection of In Vitro Tumor Cell Apoptosis Induced by CD8+ T Cells to Study Immune Suppressive Functions of Tumor-infiltrating Myeloid Cells

23.4K
We describe here a protocol to investigate cytotoxicity of pre-activated CD8+ T cells against cancer cells by detecting apoptotic cancer cells via real-time microscopy. This protocol can investigate mechanisms behind myeloid cell-induced T cell suppression and evaluate compounds aimed at replenishing T cells via blockade of immune suppressive myeloid...

Activation of Apoptosis by Cytoplasmic Microinjection of Cytochrome c

17.8K
In this protocol, we describe the direct cytoplasmic microinjection of cytochrome c protein into fibroblasts and primary sympathetic neurons. This technique allows for the introduction of cytochrome c protein into the cytoplasm of cells and mimics the release of cytochrome c from mitochondria, which occurs during...

Use of a Caspase Multiplexing Assay to Determine Apoptosis in a Hypothalamic Cell Model

16.3K
Multiplex assays can provide beneficial information for basic cellular mechanisms and eliminate waste of reagents and unnecessary repetitive experiments. We describe here a multiplex caspase-3/7 activity assay, using fluorescent- and luminescent-based methods, to determine cell viability in an in vitro hypothalamic model following oxidative challenge with palmitic...

Apoptosis01:30

Apoptosis

14.2K
Apoptosis is a combination of two Greek words, 'apo' and 'ptosis,' meaning separation and falling off, respectively. Hippocrates used this word to describe gangrene, which was caused due to bandaging of fractured bones. Apoptosis was distinguished from necrosis in 1970 when John Kerr reported observations of morphological changes occurring during apoptosis. During one experiment, he observed that the disruption of blood supply to the liver tissue resulted in a size...

Area of Science:

  • Cellular biology
  • Systems biology
  • Biophysics

Background:

  • Apoptosis is vital for development and tissue maintenance.
  • The intrinsic apoptosis pathway involves complex feedback loops.
  • Coordinated regulation of these feedback loops remains poorly understood.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To identify critical regulatory processes in apoptosis.
  • To analyze the dynamics of initiator and executioner modules of the intrinsic pathway.
  • To understand how feedback loops modulate apoptosis.

Main Methods:

  • Bifurcation analysis
  • Single-parameter sensitivity analysis
  • Mathematical modeling of apoptosis pathways

Main Results:

  • Network functions are determined by modules and feedback loops, not specific parameters.
  • BH3 activity is key in the initiator module, triggering the amplifier module.
  • Autocrine aC9 expression and the C9/XIAP loop are sensitive in the executioner module.
  • Specific feedback loops (BH3AC/BH3DR, MDM2/ARF/ASPP, p53helper/p53killer) are important for cell fate after DNA damage.

Conclusions:

  • Feedback loops are the primary determinants of apoptosis pathway function.
  • Identifying key regulatory nodes offers insights into apoptosis control.
  • This research provides a foundation for designing targeted anticancer therapies.
