Cell Cycle
• Onlyfrom existing cells come new cells.
• We are all decedents of the first cells on the planet.
• A cell reproduces by duplicating its contents and then
dividing
into two
• This cycle of events is known as the cell cycle
Eukaryotic Cell
Cycle
Cell death
• Thebody is very good at maintaining a constant
number of cells. So there has to exist mechanisms for
ensuring other cells in the body are removed, when
appropriate.
• Two forms
– Apoptosis - suicide - programmed cell death
– Necrosis - killing - decay and destruction

1- Necrosis
• Necrosisis the sum total of morphologic changes that
follow cell death in a living tissue or organ
• Dead cells usually show changes in both the cytolasm
and in the nucleus.
.
7.
1- Necrosis
• Cytoplasmicchanges are: increases eosinohilia, glassy
appearance, granular or vacuolated cytolasm, swollen
mitochondria, may also show calcification
• Nuclear changes: Karyolysis , Pyknosis and
Karyorrhexis.
Causes
Necrosis may occurdue to external or internal factors: External
factors may involve
1.Mechanical trauma (physical damage to the body that
causes
cellular breakdown)
2.Damage to blood vessels (which may disrupt blood supply to
associated tissue),
3.Thermal effects (extremely high or low temperature) can
result in necrosis due to the disruption of cells.
10.
Causes
Internal factors causingnecrosis include
1.Trophoneurotic disorders; injury and paralysis of nerve
cells.
2.Pancreatic enzymes (lipases) are the major cause of fat
necrosis.
3.necrosis programs in cells with immunological barriers
(intestinal mucosa) may alleviate invasion of pathogens through
surfaces affected by inflammation
4.Bacterial toxins; activated natural killer cells; and peritoneal
macrophages.
5.necrosis programs in cells with immunological barriers
(intestinal mucosa) may alleviate invasion of pathogens through
surfaces affected by inflammation
Mechanisms of Necrosis
NecroticCell Death
•Loss of metabolic functions
•Loss of the integrity of the cell
membranes
•Cessation of the production of
proteins and ATP.
•Cells organelles swell and
become nonfunctional.
13.
Mechanisms of Necrosis
1.Depletion of ATP-leads
to breakdown of the cell’s
ion balance
2. Reduce oxygen level
(hypoxia)
3. Oxidative stress - the
presence of excess oxygen
radicals
14.
What are thetypes of
necrosis?
1. Coagulation Necrosis
2. Liquefactive
Necrosis
3. Fat Necrosis
4. Caseous Necrosis
5. Gangrenous Necrosis
6. Fibrinoid Necrosis
Necrosis types
2.Liquefactive Necrosis
•Seethis in infections in brain infarcts
•Due to lots of neutrophils around releasing
their toxic contents, “liquefying” the tissue.
•tissue is liquidly and creamy yellow (pus)
•lots of neutrophils and cell debris
17.
Necrosis types:
3.Fat Necrosis:
•fatnecrosis that in which the
neutral fats in adipose tissue are
split into fatty acids and glycerol,
usually affecting the pancreas
•shadowy outlines of dead fat cells
Necrosis
types:
5.Gangrenous Necrosis
•See thiswhen an entire limb loses blood supply and dies
•skin looks black and dead; underlying tissue is in varying
stages of decomposition
•initially there is coagulative necrosis from the loss of blood
supply (this stage is called “dry gangrene”); if bacterial
infection is superimposed, there is liquefactive necrosis
(this stage is called “wet gangrene”).
20.
Necrosis types
6.Fibrinoid necrosis
•Seethis in immune reactions
in vessels
•Complexes of antigens and
antibodies (immune
complexes) combine with
fibrin
•changes too small to see
grossly
•vessel walls are thickened
and pinkish-red (called
“fibrinoid”
21.
2_ apoptosis
programmed celldeath
•In human
body,
cells were produced every second by
mitosis there is a similar number die by apoptosis.
•Between 50_ 70 billion cells die each day in
adult.
•Between 20_ 30 billion cells die each day in
child.
22.
Apoptosi
s
programmed cell death
•Form of cell death, in which a ‘suicide’ program is activated
within the cell, leading to:
• fragmentation of the DNA.
• shrinkage of the cytoplasm.
• membrane changes and cell death without lysis or damage to
neighboring cells.
23.
General characteristics of
apoptosis
•It is a normal phenomenon, occurring frequently in a
multicellular organism.
• a cell that undergoes apoptosis dies neatly, without
damaging its neighbors. The cell shrinks and
condenses.
• There is no inflammation in apoptosis.
24.
Importance of apoptosis
1_Programmed cell death is needed for proper
normal development as mitosis is.
Examples: –
•The moldiness of the tadpole tail in frog .
•The formation of the fingers and toes of the fetus requires
the removal, by apoptosis.
•The sloughing off of the endometrium at the start of
menstruation.
Importance of apoptosis
2.Programmedcell death is needed to destroy cells
that represent a threat to the integrity of the
organism.
•Examples:
– Cells infected with viruses.
– Cells with DNA damage.
– Cancer cells (Uncontrolled proliferated cells).
Mechanisms of apoptosis
•Apoptosis occur in two phases:
1. Initiation phase:
It happen when apoptotic enzymes are getting
activated.
1. Execution phase:
Activating enzymes are causing cell death.
1) Extrinsic pathway
•Called death receptor pathway,
mediated by:
death receptors.
• TNF family protein( tumor
necrosis factor) .e.g. TNF R1,
TNF fas.
• Caspase are ( Cysteine- Aspartic
acid) specific proteases that
mediates the events that are
associated with programmed cell
death.
33.
1) Extrinsic pathway
•Apoptosis initiated by
extrinsic pathway.
• In cytoplasmic side
death receptor has
death domains.
34.
1) Extrinsic pathway
•Fas L( fas ligand) bind to
fas receptor, and form
cross link between three
or more fas receptor then
they can form binding site
for adaptor molecule
called death domain,
which attract inactivated
pro_ caspases and FADD(
fas associated death
domain).
35.
1) Extrinsic pathway
•Caspases 8 start to
cleave other pro_
caspases to result active
form of caspases.
• These caspases go
to execution phase
and causing apoptosis.
36.
2) Intrinsic pathway
•Known as mitochondrial pathway.
• Apoptosis occur due to increase
permeability of mitochondria.
37.
2) Intrinsic pathway
•In normal
situation,
•
growth

formation of
apoptotic
which causing
some anti_
.e.g.
in
protei
n
X
Bcl2,
Bcl
mitochondria membrane.
•Those will prevent
leakage of pro_
apoptotic
molecule.
39.
2) Intrinsic pathway
•Radiation and other factors assist to remove these signal
• Increasing
resulting
the
leakage
of pro_
permeability of
mitochondria
molecules from
apoptotic
mitochondria to
cytoplasm.
e.g. Bcl 2, and BclX via other type
of
pro_ apoptotic proteins such as Bak, and Bax.
40.
2) Intrinsic pathway
•In cytosol,
• Pro-apoptotic Factors
Damage to the
mitochondrial membrane
increasing permeability
Entry of Cytochrome C
into the cytoplasm
• Cytochrome c will bind to
another molecule known
as ApaF1 ( apoptosis activity
factor 1) which activate
caspases 9 resulting
apoptosome .
41.
2) Intrinsic pathway
•Apoptosome activates
procaspase-9 to caspase-9
• Caspase-9 cleaves and
activates pro_ caspase-3
and pro_ caspase-7.
• This executioner caspases
activate a cascade of
proteolytic activity that
leads to apoptosis.
42.
2) Intrinsic pathway
•Other factor releasing form mitochondria is
apoptosis inducing factor that neutralize anti_
apoptosis factor and promote apoptosis.
44.
Execution phase
• Itis mediated by caspase 3 and caspase 6 , recall
caspase 8 and caspase 9(initiation caspases).
• When it’s activated, they form sequence chain of
reaction that can activate Caspase 3 and 6.
• They break down cytoskeleton protein, and
nuclear
matrix protein that resulting breaking the nucleus.
45.
Role in diseases
•Too much
apoptosis:
Tissue atrophy.
• Too little apoptosis:
Cancer,
Atherosclerosis.
