Overview of Cell Death01:30

Overview of Cell Death

8.3K
Cell death is an essential process where the body gets rid of old or damaged cells. Cell proliferation and death need to be balanced, as an imbalance between the two may lead to cancer or autoimmune diseases.
Cell death was observed in the early 19th century, but there was no experimental evidence to prove it. In 1842, Carl Vogt first discovered cell death in a metamorphic toad; however, it was not termed ‘cell death.’ Scientists discovered different cell death pathways only in the...

The Intrinsic Apoptotic Pathway01:31

The Intrinsic Apoptotic Pathway

7.3K
Internal cellular stress, such as cellular injury or hypoxia, triggers intrinsic apoptosis. The B-cell lymphoma 2 (Bcl-2) family of proteins are the primary regulators of the intrinsic apoptotic pathway. For example, during DNA damage, checkpoint proteins, such as Ataxia Telangiectasia Mutated (ATM protein) and Checkpoints Factor-2 (Chk2) proteins, are activated. These proteins phosphorylate p53 which further activates pro-apoptotic proteins, such as Bax, Bak, PUMA, and Noxa, and inhibits...

Apoptosis01:30

Apoptosis

12.7K
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...

The Extrinsic Apoptotic Pathway01:17

The Extrinsic Apoptotic Pathway

7.1K
The extrinsic apoptotic pathway is initiated when extracellular death-inducing signals, such as specific cytokines, activate the death receptors expressed on the cell surface. The immune cells involved in this pathway are natural killer cells (NK cells) and cytotoxic T-lymphocytes. NK cells are critical in innate immune response, while cytotoxic T-lymphocytes are associated with adaptive immune response. These cells recognize specific receptors expressed on the altered cells and activate...

Autophagic Cell Death01:18

Autophagic Cell Death

3.7K
Christian de Duve discovered “autophagy,” a process in which cellular components are engulfed by membrane-bound organelles called autophagosomes. The autophagosomes then fuse with lysosomes to digest the enclosed contents. Autophagy is generally activated in cells to prevent cell death. However, cell death is triggered when the damage is beyond repair.
Autophagy and Apoptosis
Autophagy can activate apoptosis. In normal conditions, the autophagy activating protein Beclin-1 and...

Regulation of the Unfolded Protein Response01:31

Regulation of the Unfolded Protein Response

2.8K
Inositol-requiring kinase one or IRE1 is the most conserved eukaryotic unfolded protein response (UPR) receptor. It is a type I transmembrane protein kinase receptor with a distinctive site-specific RNase activity. As the binding mechanics of the misfolded proteins with the N-terminal domain of IRE-1 are unclear, three binding models — direct, indirect, and allosteric -- are proposed for receptor activation. Nevertheless, it is known that once a misfolded protein associates with IRE1, it...

Area of Science:

  • Plant Biology
  • Cellular Signaling
  • Oxidative Stress

Background:

  • Reactive oxygen species (ROS) are natural byproducts of cellular redox reactions, with chloroplasts being a major source in plant cells.
  • Chloroplast-generated ROS, including singlet oxygen (¹O₂), function as signaling molecules under normal conditions but can cause cell death when amplified by stress.
  • While antioxidant systems scavenge ROS, specific enzymes for singlet oxygen detoxification are scarce, suggesting a distinct role for ¹O₂.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review the role of chloroplast-generated singlet oxygen (¹O₂) in plant cellular signaling pathways.
  • To explore the involvement of ¹O₂ in regulating plant acclimation and stress-induced regulated cell death (RCD).
  • To advocate for the significance of chloroplasts and their localized molecules in executing RCD.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review synthesizing recent findings on ROS production in chloroplasts.
  • Analysis of studies investigating the signaling functions of singlet oxygen (¹O₂) at physiological concentrations.
  • Examination of evidence linking chloroplast-derived ¹O₂ to regulated cell death (RCD) mechanisms in plants.

Main Results:

  • Singlet oxygen (¹O₂) generated in chloroplasts acts as a critical signaling molecule.
  • Optimal concentrations of ¹O₂ can direct plant cells towards acclimation or regulated cell death (RCD).
  • The precise mechanisms of chloroplast involvement and ¹O₂'s role in executing RCD require further elucidation.

Conclusions:

  • Chloroplast-generated singlet oxygen (¹O₂) plays a dual role in plant cells, mediating signaling and contributing to regulated cell death (RCD).
  • Understanding ¹O₂'s function is key to comprehending plant stress responses and survival mechanisms.
  • Further research is needed to fully integrate chloroplast dynamics into the understanding of plant RCD.
