Download or read book Necrotic Cell Death written by Han-Ming Shen and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2014-03-29 with total page 402 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Starting with discussion of basic concepts and the molecular mechanisms of necrosis, this book looks first at several forms of necrotic cell death that have been identified, including necroptosis, autophagic cell death, and PARP-mediated cell death. As necrotic cell death is increasingly known to play a critical role in many physiological processes, the next chapters discuss its effect on metabolism, inflammation, immunity, and development. Necrotic cell death is closely implicated in human diseases like cancer, so the next chapters examine its relevance to human diseases, and final chapters cover methodologies for measuring necrosis. This book presents comprehensive coverage of necrosis from recognized experts from leading academic and medical institutions around the world. ​In contrast to apoptosis, well-defined as a form of programmed cell death, necrosis used to be considered as accidental (i.e., non-programmed) cell death, usually in response to a severe injury. Accumulating evidence now suggests, however, that necrosis is also programmed and controlled by distinctive "death machinery" in response to various stimuli like oxidative stress or DNA damage.

Download or read book Necrosis as Programmed Cell Death written by Ma. Luisa Escobar and published by . This book was released on 2015 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The process of cell death is the mechanism through which organisms eliminate useless cells. Hence, it is a normal process that maintains homeostasis. Cell removal can be effectuated by several pathways that involve complex and regulated molecular events specific to each type of cell death. Diverse studies have evidenced different types of cell death: apoptosis, autophagy, and necrosis. This chapter presents a brief review of the apoptotic and autophagic cell death processes but focuses attention primarily on necrosis because it has previously been considered an accidental and uncontrolled form of cell death. More recent evidence, however, has shown that, under certain circumstances, necrosis is conducted by a controlled program called necroptosis, which is now included as a programmed cell death process.

Download or read book Apoptosis and Beyond written by James A. Radosevich and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2018-09-18 with total page 784 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: These volumes teach readers to think beyond apoptosis and describes all of the known processes that cells can undergo which result in cell death This two-volume source on how cells dies is the first, comprehensive collection to cover all of the known processes that cells undergo when they die. It is also the only one of its kind to compare these processes. It seeks to enlighten those in the field about these many processes and to stimulate their thinking at looking at these pathways when their research system does not show signs of activation of the classic apoptotic pathway. In addition, it links activities like the molecular biology of one process (eg. Necrosis) to another process (eg. apoptosis) and contrasts those that are close to each. Volume 1 of Apoptosis and Beyond: The Many Ways Cells Die begins with a general view of the cytoplasmic and nuclear features of apoptosis. It then goes on to offer chapters on targeting the cell death mechanism; microbial programmed cell death; autophagy; cell injury, adaptation, and necrosis; necroptosis; ferroptosis; anoikis; pyronecrosis; and more. Volume 2 covers such subjects as phenoptosis; pyroptosis; hematopoiesis and eryptosis; cyclophilin d-dependent necrosis; and the role of phospholipase in cell death. Covers all known processes that dying cells undergo Provides extensive coverage of a topic not fully covered before Offers chapters written by top researchers in the field Provides activities that link and contrast processes to each other Apoptosis and Beyond: The Many Ways Cells Die will appeal to students and researchers/clinicians in cell biology, molecular biology, oncology, and tumor biology.

Download or read book Molecular Mechanisms of Programmed Necrotic Death Initiated by Intrinsic Death Signals written by Gary Xiaoshi Wang and published by . This book was released on 2014 with total page 128 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Proper regulation of cell death is critical for tissue development and homeostasis, with deregulation implicated in many illnesses. Cell death is morphologically categorised as apoptosis, autophagy, and necrosis, with apoptosis being the best studied. BCL-2 family members are critical apoptosis regulators. Death signals induce upstream "activator" BH3-only molecules to activate the essential mitochondrion apoptosis effectors BAX and BAK to execute death. Yet, combined loss of Bax and Bak causes developmental and homeostatic defects in restricted tissues, indicating the existence of additional death program(s). By using Bax-/-Bak-/- double- knockout (DKO) mouse embryonic fibroblasts (MEFs) to study non-apoptotic death, we discovered DNA double strand breaks (DSBs) activate a genetic program that upregulates reactive oxygen species (ROS) and the lysosomal protease cathepsin to execute a form of "programmed necrotic death" (PND). This refutes the long-held view that necrosis is a passive reponse to unmanageable physico-chemical stress. However, the PND execution pathways triggered by death signals and the determinants of death versus long-term survival are unclear. Here, I demonstrated a critical role for the transcription factor [Delta]Np63[alpha] in determining long-term survival in the face of oxidative stress, a central necrotic mediator. [Delta]Np63[alpha] protected DKO MEFs against PND and enhanced long-term survival via a novel ability to control intracellular redox homeostasis by regulating glutathione metabolism. [Delta]Np63[alpha] overexpression protected from oxidative stress induced by oxidants, DNA damage, and anoikis, while deficiency of [Delta]Np63[alpha] increased oxidative stress and sensitized to oxidant-induced death. I further found that long-term survival of anchorage-dependent cells following loss of matrix attachment was enhanced by combined inhibition of apoptosis and oxidative stress by BCL-2 and [Delta]Np63[alpha], respectively. Furthermore, I showed that in DKO MEFs, DSBs triggered an ATM-mediated DNA damage response that increased ROS production by upregulating the activity of complex III of the electron transport chain. My work concluded a key role for oxidative stress in the loss of long-term survival triggered by intrinsic death signals and revealed an important role for [Delta]Np63[alpha] in regulating redox homeostasis. These findings laid the groundwork for future studies on programmed necrotic death initiated by intrinsic death signals.

Download or read book Innovative Medicine written by Kazuwa Nakao and published by Springer. This book was released on 2015-10-13 with total page 330 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is devoted to innovative medicine, comprising the proceedings of the Uehara Memorial Foundation Symposium 2014. It remains extremely rare for the findings of basic research to be developed into clinical applications, and it takes a long time for the process to be achieved. The task of advancing the development of basic research into clinical reality lies with translational science, yet the field seems to struggle to find a way to move forward. To create innovative medical technology, many steps need to be taken: development and analysis of optimal animal models of human diseases, elucidation of genomic and epidemiological data, and establishment of “proof of concept”. There is also considerable demand for progress in drug research, new surgical procedures, and new clinical devices and equipment. While the original research target may be rare diseases, it is also important to apply those findings more broadly to common diseases. The book covers a wide range of topics and is organized into three complementary parts. The first part is basic research for innovative medicine, the second is translational research for innovative medicine, and the third is new technology for innovative medicine. This book helps to understand innovative medicine and to make progress in its realization.
