Cell death has historically been subdivided into regulated and unregulated mechanisms. Apoptosis, a form of regulated cell death, reflects a cell's decision to die in response to cues and is executed by intrinsic cellular machinery. Unregulated cell death (often called necrosis) is caused by overwhelming stress that is incompatible with cell survival. Emerging evidence, however, suggests that these two processes do not adequately explain the various cell death mechanisms. Recent data point to the existence of multiple non-apoptotic, regulated cell death mechanisms, some of which overlap or are mutually exclusive with apoptosis. Here we examine how and why these different cell death programmes have evolved, with an eye towards new cytoprotective therapeutic opportunities. 相似文献

The cellular response to stress conditions involves a decision between survival or cell death when damage is severe. A conserved stress response in eukaryotes involves endonucleolytic cleavage of transfer RNAs (tRNAs). The mechanism and significance of such tRNA cleavage is unknown. We show that in yeast, tRNAs are cleaved by the RNase T2 family member Rny1p, which is released from the vacuole into the cytosol during oxidative stress. Rny1p modulates yeast cell survival during oxidative stress independently of its catalytic ability. This suggests that upon release to the cytosol, Rny1p promotes cell death by direct interactions with downstream components. Thus, detection of Rny1p, and possibly its orthologues, in the cytosol may be a conserved mechanism for assessing cellular damage and determining cell survival, analogous to the role of cytochrome c as a marker for mitochondrial damage. 相似文献

Balancing cellular demise and survival constitutes a key feature of resilience mechanisms that underlie the control of epithelial tissue damage. These resilience mechanisms often limit the burden of adaptive cellular stress responses to internal or external threats. We recently identified Diedel, a secreted protein/cytokine, as a potent antagonist of apoptosis-induced regulated cell death in the Drosophila intestinal midgut epithelium during aging. Here, we show that Diedel is a ligand for RGD-binding Integrins and is thus required for maintaining midgut epithelial cell attachment to the extracellular matrix (ECM)-derived basement membrane. Exploiting this function of Diedel, we uncovered a resilience mechanism of epithelial tissues, mediated by Integrin–ECM interactions, which shapes cell death spreading through the regulation of cell detachment and thus cell survival. Moreover, we found that resilient epithelial cells, enriched for Diedel–Integrin–ECM interactions, are characterized by membrane association of Catalase, thus preserving extracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS) balance to maintain epithelial integrity. Intracellular Catalase can relocalize to the extracellular membrane to limit cell death spreading and repair Integrin–ECM interactions induced by the amplification of extracellular ROS, which is a critical adaptive stress response. Membrane-associated Catalase, synergized with Integrin–ECM interactions, likely constitutes a resilience mechanism that helps balance cellular demise and survival within epithelial tissues.A key feature of the resilience mechanisms that underlie the control of epithelial tissue damage is the balance between cell death and survival. This study shows that the anti-oxidant enzyme catalase can relocate to membranes in order to promote the resilience of the Drosophila midgut epithelium, synergizing with integrin-ECM interactions to prevent the spread of cell death. 相似文献

Reversible protein phosphorylation represents a cellular response to normal physiological processes as well as to cellular insults and stress. Recently, the protein phosphatase-associated alpha4 subunit was shown to be required for sustaining cell survival. Lack of alpha4 leads to apoptotic death of multiple cell types and to the death of the organism. Here, we explore how the phosphatase network might operate in controlling life-and-death decisions. We discuss the relevance of the findings for understanding the action of alpha4 in cell survival and for better discriminating between a role in maintaining cellular homeostasis, and thus survival, or actively keeping apoptotic cell death in check by targeting effectors of the cell death machinery. 相似文献

The tumor suppressor p53 is activated in response to cellular stress to prevent malignant transformation. However, several recent studies have shown that p53 can play protective roles in tumor cell survival under adversity. Whether p53‐regulated long noncoding RNAs are involved in this process remains to be fully understood. Here, we show that under glucose starvation condition, p53 directly upregulates a novel lncRNA named TRINGS (Tp53‐regulated inhibitor of necrosis under glucose starvation) in human tumor cells. TRINGS binds to STRAP and inhibits STRAP–GSK3β–NF‐κB necrotic signaling to protect tumor cells from cell death. Interestingly, TRINGS appears to respond to glucose starvation specifically, as it is not activated by serum, serine, or glutamine deprivation. Collectively, our findings reveal that p53‐induced lncRNA TRINGS controls the necrotic pathway and contributes to the survival of cancer cells harboring wild‐type p53 under glucose stress. 相似文献

In response to genotoxic stress, which can be caused by environmental or endogenous genotoxic insults such as ionizing or ultraviolet radiation, various chemicals and reactive cellular metabolites, cell cycle checkpoints which slow down or arrest cell cycle progression can be activated, allowing the cell to repair or prevent the transmission of damaged or incompletely replicated chromosomes. Checkpoint machineries can also initiate pathways leading to apoptosis and the removal of a damaged cell from a tissue. The balance between cell cycle arrest and damage repair on one hand and the initiation of cell death, on the other hand, could determine if cellular or DNA damage is compatible with cell survival or requires cell elimination by apoptosis. Defects in these processes may lead to hypersensitivity to cellular stress, and susceptibility to DNA damage, genomic defects, and resistance to apoptosis, which characterize cancer cells. In this article, we have noted recent studies of DNA damage-dependent cell cycle checkpoints, which may be significant in preventing genomic instability. 相似文献

Simple clinical observation suggests that while anti-leukemia agents are efficient at eradicating blasts cells in terminal division, as illustrated, in the case of acute myeloid leukemia, by the high complete remission rate (70%); these agents are relatively inept at eliminating leukemic myeloid progenitors as suggested by the high level of recurrence. This interpretation underlines the apparently natural chemoresistance of cells which compose the myeloid leukemia progenitor compartment. Over the past few years, several studies have shown that similar cellular damage can lead to divers effects such as rapid apoptotic death, differed mitotic death, or a transitory cytostatic effect. Cell response to damage is regulated by a complex and highly regulated network of intracellular signals including cell death signals mediated by ceramide and cell survival signals mediated (at least in part) by diacylglycerol and phosphoinositide-3 phosphates. Cellular fate relies on the balance between these two signaling pathways. This hypothesis opens several prospects on pharmacological manipulation aimed at either favoring cell death or at conferring resistance to anti-cancer agents. 相似文献

Various physiological and pathological conditions generate an accumulation of misfolded proteins in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER). This results in ER stress followed by a cellular response to cope with this stress and restore homeostasis: the unfolded protein response (UPR). Overall, the UPR leads to general translational arrest and the induction of specific factors to ensure cell survival or to mediate cell death if the stress is too severe. In multiple cancers, components of the UPR are overexpressed, indicating increased dependence on the UPR. In addition, the UPR can confer resistance to anti-cancer treatment. Therefore, modification of the UPR should be explored for its anti-cancer properties. This review discusses factors associated with the UPR that represent potential therapeutic targets. 相似文献

Although autophagy is a type of programmed cell death, it is also essential for cell survival upon tolerable level of various stress events. For the cell to respond adequately to an external and/or internal stimulus induced by cellular stress, autophagy must be controlled in a highly regulated manner. By using systems biology techniques, here we explore the dynamical features of autophagy induction. We propose that the switch-like characteristic of autophagy induction is achieved by a control network, containing essential feedback loops of four components, so-called autophagy inducer, autophagy controller, mTORC1 and autophagy executor, respectively. We show how an autophagy inducer is capable to turn on autophagy in a cellular stress-specific way. The autophagy controller acts as a molecular switch and not only promotes autophagy but also blocks the permanent hyperactivation of the process via downregulating the autophagy inducer. In this theoretical analysis, we explore in detail the properties of all four proposed controlling elements and their connections. Here we also prove that the kinetic features of this control network can be considered accurate in various stress processes (such as starvation, endoplasmic reticulum stress and oxidative stress), even if the exact components may be different. The robust response of the resulting control network is essential during cellular stress.Subject terms: Biochemistry, Molecular biology 相似文献

Oxygen (O 2), while essential for aerobic life, can also cause metabolic toxicity through the excess generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS). Pathological changes in ROS production can originate through the partial reduction of O 2 during mitochondrial electron transport, as well as from enzymatic sources. This phenomenon, termed the oxygen paradox, has been implicated in aging and disease, and is especially evident in critical care medicine. Whereas high O 2 concentrations are utilized as a life-sustaining therapeutic for respiratory insufficiency, they in turn can cause acute lung injury. Alveolar epithelial cells represent a primary target of hyperoxia-induced lung injury. Recent studies have indicated that epithelial cells exposed to high O 2 concentrations die by apoptosis, or necrosis, and can also exhibit mixed-phenotypes of cell death (aponecrosis). Autophagy, a cellular homeostatic process responsible for the lysosomal turnover of organelles and proteins, has been implicated as a general response to oxidative stress in cells and tissues. This evolutionarily conserved process is finely regulated by a complex interplay of protein factors. During autophagy, senescent organelles and cellular proteins are sequestered in autophagic vacuoles (autophagosomes) and subsequently targeted to the lysosome, where they are degraded by lysosomal hydrolases, and the breakdown products released for reutilization in anabolic pathways. Autophagy has been implicated as a cell survival mechanism during nutrient-deficiency states, and more generally, as a determinant of cell fate. However, the mechanisms by which autophagy and/or autophagic proteins potentially interact with and/or regulate cell death pathways during high oxygen stress, remain only partially understood. 相似文献

In cancer patients, treatment modalities like chemotherapy and radiation exert their anticancer effects by inducing DNA damage. The cancer cells can survive under genotoxic stress by inducing DNA damage response (DDR) or can undergo cell death. The process of autophagy is emerging as crucial regulator of cell survival during different stress conditions. Post translational modification through ubiquitin plays an essential role in DDR during genotoxic stress conditions. Ubiquitin ligases regulate autophagy and cell death pathways however their role during genotoxic stress conditions is not understood. In the current study we identified TRIM8, RING E3 Ligase, as a novel regulator of autophagy during DDR. TRIM8 regulates lysosomal biogenesis and autophagy flux. The turnover of TRIM8 is high and is stabilized during genotoxic stress conditions. TRIM8 regulated autophagy is essential for its cytoprotective role during genotoxic stress induced cell death. TRIM8 stabilizes the turnover of XIAP during genotoxic stress and forms complex with XIAP and caspase-3 to inhibit its activation in presence of etoposide. TRIM8 mediated autophagy promotes degradation of cleaved caspase-3 subunits. This study described TRIM8, as a novel regulator of DDR-autophagy crosstalk, which may play role in survival of cancer cells in presence of genotoxic agents. 相似文献

It is still enigmatic under which circumstances cellular demise induces an immune response or rather remains immunologically
silent. Moreover, the question remains open under which circumstances apoptotic, autophagic or necrotic cells are immunogenic
or tolerogenic. Although apoptosis appears to be morphologically homogenous, recent evidence suggests that the pre-apoptotic
surface-exposure of calreticulin may dictate the immune response to tumor cells that succumb to anticancer treatments. Moreover,
the release of high-mobility group box 1 (HMGB1) during late apoptosis and secondary necrosis contributes to efficient antigen
presentation and cytotoxic T-cell activation because HMGB1 can bind to Toll like receptor 4 on dendritic cells, thereby stimulating
optimal antigen processing. Cell death accompanied by autophagy also may facilitate cross priming events. Apoptosis, necrosis
and autophagy are closely intertwined processes. Often, cells manifest autophagy before they undergo apoptosis or necrosis,
and apoptosis is generally followed by secondary necrosis. Whereas apoptosis and necrosis irreversibly lead to cell death,
autophagy can clear cells from stress factors and thus facilitate cellular survival. We surmise that the response to cellular
stress like chemotherapy or ionizing irradiation, dictates the immunological response to dying cells and that this immune
response in turn determines the clinical outcome of anticancer therapies. The purpose of this review is to summarize recent
insights into the immunogenicity of dying tumor cells as a function of the cell death modality. 相似文献

Unfolded protein response (UPR) is an important genomic response to endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress. The ER chaperones,
GRP78 and Gadd153, play critical roles in cell survival or cell death as part of the UPR, which is regulated by three signaling
pathways: PERK/ATF4, IRE1/XBP1 and ATF6. During the UPR, accumulated unfolded protein is either correctly refolded, or unsuccessfully
refolded and degraded by the ubiquitin-proteasome pathway. When the unfolded protein exceeds a threshold, damaged cells are
committed to cell death, which is mediated by ATF4 and ATF6, as well as activation of the JNK/AP-1/Gadd153-signaling pathway.
Gadd153 suppresses activation of Bcl-2 and NF-κB. UPR-mediated cell survival or cell death is regulated by the balance of GRP78 and Gadd153 expression, which is coregulated
by NF-κB in accordance with the magnitude of ER stress. Less susceptibility to cell death upon activation of the UPR may contribute
to tumor progression and drug resistance of solid tumors. 相似文献

ΔNp63α, the dominant negative isoform of the p63 family is an essential survival factor in head and neck squamous cell carcinoma. This isoform has been shown to be down regulated in response to several DNA damaging agents, thereby enabling an effective cellular response to genotoxic agents. Here, we identify a key molecular mechanism underlying the regulation of ΔNp63α expression in response to extrinsic stimuli, such as chemotherapeutic agents. We show that ΔNp63α interacts with NF-κΒ in presence of cisplatin. We find that NF-κΒ promotes ubiquitin-mediated proteasomal degradation of ΔNp63α. Chemotherapy-induced stimulation of NF-κΒ leads to degradation of ΔNp63α and augments trans-activation of p53 family-induced genes involved in the cellular response to DNA damage. Conversely, inhibition of NF-κΒ with siRNA-mediated silencing NF-κΒ expression attenuates chemotherapy induced degradation of ΔNp63α . These data demonstrate that NF-κΒ plays an essential role in regulating ΔNp63α in response to extrinsic stimuli. Our findings suggest that the activation of NF-κΒ may be a mechanism by which levels of ΔNp63α are reduced, thereby rendering the cells susceptible to cell death in the face of cellular stress or DNA damage. 相似文献

How cellular metabolic activities regulate autophagy and determine the susceptibility to oxidative stress and ultimately cell death in neuronal cells is not well understood. An important example of oxidative stress is 4-hydroxynonenal (HNE), which is a lipid peroxidation product that is formed during oxidative stress, and accumulates in neurodegenerative diseases causing damage. The accumulation of toxic oxidation products such as HNE, is a prevalent feature of neurodegenerative diseases, and can promote organelle and protein damage leading to induction of autophagy. In this study, we used differentiated SH-SY5Y neuroblastoma cells to investigate the mechanisms and regulation of cellular susceptibility to HNE toxicity and the relationship to cellular metabolism. We found that autophagy is immediately stimulated by HNE at a sublethal concentration. Within the same time frame, HNE induces concentration dependent CASP3/caspase 3 activation and cell death. Interestingly, both basal and HNE-activated autophagy, were regulated by glucose metabolism. Inhibition of glucose metabolism by 2-deoxyglucose (2DG), at a concentration that inhibited autophagic flux, further exacerbated CASP3 activation and cell death in response to HNE. Cell death was attenuated by the pan-caspase inhibitor Z-VAD-FMK. Specific inhibition of glycolysis using koningic acid, a GAPDH inhibitor, inhibited autophagic flux and exacerbated HNE-induced cell death similarly to 2DG. The effects of 2DG on autophagy and HNE-induced cell death could not be reversed by addition of mannose, suggesting an ER stress-independent mechanism. 2DG decreased LAMP1 and increased BCL2 levels suggesting that its effects on autophagy may be mediated by more than one mechanism. Furthermore, 2DG decreased cellular ATP, and 2DG and HNE combined treatment decreased mitochondrial membrane potential. We conclude that glucose-dependent autophagy serves as a protective mechanism in response to HNE. 相似文献
