Apoptosis01:30

Apoptosis

11.8K
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...

Overview of Cell Death

7.5K
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...

Inflammatory Response01:28

Inflammatory Response

5.2K
An inflammatory response is a localized, nonspecific immune reaction that occurs when a tissue is injured. It is characterized by redness, swelling, heat, and pain, which are commonly called the cardinal signs and symptoms of inflammation. Inflammation can sometimes result in a loss of function.
Inflammation can be triggered by various stimuli, such as impact, abrasion, chemical irritation, infections, and extreme hot or cold temperatures. These can damage cells and connective tissue fibers,...

Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease-II: Pathophysiology

2.9K
Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) pathophysiology is intricate and multifaceted, involving a complex interplay of physiological processes. Understanding these mechanisms is crucial for effectively managing and treating COPD. Here is an in-depth look at the critical elements in the pathophysiology of COPD:

Caspases01:24

Caspases

12.7K
Caspase, a family of cysteine proteases, serve as effectors in apoptosis. The ced3 gene in C.elegans was first identified to be involved in apoptosis. This gene encodes the ced-3 caspase that is similar to the interleukin-1-beta converting enzyme or ICE in mammals. In addition to apoptosis, caspases also function in the inflammatory response. Inflammatory caspases are essential in activating pro-inflammatory cytokines that recruit immune cells and block the replication of pathogens inside...

Area of Science:

  • Cellular Biology
  • Immunology
  • Pathology

Background:

  • Caspase-1, initially known for inflammation and cell survival, was found to regulate pyroptosis, a distinct cell death pathway.
  • The inflammasome complex, inflammatory caspases (caspase-4/5/11), and gasdermins (gasdermin A-E, DFNB59) are key components of the pyroptotic pathway.
  • Apoptotic factors like caspase-3/8 and granzymes also play a role in inducing pyroptosis.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To summarize current findings on the mediators of pyroptosis.
  • To define the roles of inflammasomes, inflammatory caspases, and gasdermins in cell death.
  • To elucidate how pyroptosis regulates disease progression.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review and synthesis of existing research findings.
  • Analysis of the molecular mechanisms underlying pyroptosis.
  • Correlation of pyroptosis pathways with disease development.

Main Results:

  • Pyroptosis is a critical inflammatory cell death pathway.
  • Inflammasomes, inflammatory caspases, and gasdermins are central to pyroptosis execution.
  • The pathway is implicated in the pathogenesis of various diseases.

Conclusions:

  • Understanding pyroptosis mediators is essential for comprehending cell fate determination.
  • Targeting pyroptosis pathways may offer therapeutic strategies for inflammatory diseases.
  • Further research is needed to fully elucidate the complex roles of pyroptosis in health and disease.
