Resumen
La necrosis programada involucra las quinasas RIP1 y RIP3. La fosfatasa mitocondrial PGAM5 actúa como un punto de convergencia, regulando la necrosis a través de la fragmentación mitocondrial mediada por Drp1.
Área de la Ciencia:
- Biología celular Biología celular.
- Biología Molecular Biología Molecular
- La bioquímica es la bioquímica.
Sus antecedentes:
- La necrosis programada, una forma de muerte celular, está regulada por unas quinasas específicas como RIP1 y RIP3.
- El TNF-α es un inductor clave de la necrosis programada, que implica interacciones con MLKL.
- Comprender los reguladores aguas arriba de la necrosis es crucial para la investigación de la muerte celular.
Objetivo del estudio:
- Para identificar complejos proteicos involucrados en la necrosis inducida por el TNF-α.
- Para dilucidar el papel de la fosfatasa mitocondrial PGAM5 en la necrosis programada.
- Para definir PGAM5 como un punto de convergencia para múltiples vías de necrosis.
Principales métodos:
- Análisis proteómico para identificar complejos RIP1 y RIP3.
- SiRNA knockdown de las variantes de PGAM5 (PGAM5L, PGAM5S), RIP3 y MLKL.
- Evaluación de la inducción de la necrosis por TNF-α, ROS y ionóforo de calcio.
- Análisis del reclutamiento de Drp1, la actividad de la GTPasa y la desfosforilación en la serina 637.
- Pruebas de fragmentación mitocondrial.
Principales resultados:
- Identificaron complejos que contienen RIP1 y RIP3 que se forman al inducir la necrosis.
- PGAM5 (formas largas y cortas) es un componente de estos complejos.
- La eliminación de la necrosis atenuada de PGAM5 inducida por varios estímulos, mientras que la eliminación de RIP3 / MLKL solo afectó a la necrosis inducida por TNF-α.
- PGAM5S reclutó y activó a Drp1 mediante la desfosforilación de la serina 637, lo que condujo a la fragmentación mitocondrial.
- La fragmentación mitocondrial fue identificada como un paso temprano en la ejecución de la necrosis.
Conclusiones:
- PGAM5 funciona como un regulador mitocondrial crucial en la necrosis programada.
- PGAM5 actúa como un punto de convergencia para múltiples vías que inducen la necrosis.
- La activación de Drp1 mediada por PGAM5 y la subsiguiente fragmentación mitocondrial son esenciales para la necrosis.

01:31The Intrinsic Apoptotic Pathway
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...
01:16Necrosis
Necrosis is considered as an “accidental” or unexpected form of cell death that ends in cell lysis. The first noticeable mention of “necrosis” was in 1859 when Rudolf Virchow used this term to describe advanced tissue breakdown in his compilation titled “Cell Pathology”.
Morphological Manifestations of Necrosis
Necrotic cells show different types of morphological appearance depending on the type of tissue and infection. In coagulative necrosis, cells become anucleated and die, but their...

01:30Overview of Cell Death
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 20th century...

01:39Mitochondrial Protein Sorting
Mitochondria are double-membrane organelles of the eukaryotes involved in cellular metabolism, signaling, ATP synthesis, and programmed cell death. Each of these processes requires specific proteins and enzymes that must be correctly sorted to the right mitochondrial subcompartment for the proper functioning of the organelle.
Most of these mitochondrial proteins are encoded by the nucleus and imported to the mitochondria as unfolded or loosely folded precursors. Mitochondrial precursors...

01:17The Extrinsic Apoptotic Pathway
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...
01:30Apoptosis
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 reduction of the tissue.
