Heavy Metal Induced Cell Necrosis: Involves Apoptosis Death Signals Initiated by Mitochondrial Injury
Introduction: Severe industrial diseases result from the hepatic accumulation of mercury, cadmium or chromium in humans and on the other hand cadmium and dichromate and mercuric salts may induce lung or kidney cancer. Acute or chronic CdCl2, HgCl2 or dichromate administration induces hepatic and nephrotoxicity in rodents. Oxidative stress is often cited as a possible cause of metal induced cell...
متن کاملApoptosis: a mitochondrial perspective on cell death.
Mitochondria play an important role in both the life and death of cells. The past 7-8 years have seen an intense surge in research devoted toward understanding the critical role of mitochondria in the regulation of cell death. Mitochondria have, next to their function in respiration, an important role in apoptotic signaling pathway. Apoptosis is a form of programmed cell death important in the ...
متن کاملMitochondrial-mediated apoptosis in neural stem cells exposed to manganese.
Manganese is an essential nutrient for humans that has to be maintained at proper levels for normal brain functioning. However, manganese also acts as a toxicant to the brain, and several studies have linked exposure to excessive manganese to neurotoxicity in adults. A recent report has suggested that ingesting high doses of manganese via drinking water can impede intellectual functions in chil...
متن کاملMitochondrial regulation of apoptosis.
Mitochondria play a central part in cellular survival and apoptotic death. These processes are highly regulated by pro- and antiapoptotic Bcl-2 superfamily members. A key feature within apoptosis cascades is disruption of mitochondrial transmembrane potential and apoptogenic protein release, caused by opening of the permeability transition pore (PT). New data, however, indicate that mitochondri...
متن کاملMitochondrial activation of apoptosis
The History 1995 was an exciting year for the field of apoptosis. In that year, Nicholson et alo purified a protease that cleaves poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP), a protein that was known to be cleaved during apoptosis (Nicholson et al., 1995; Kaufmann et al., 1993). The cDNA encoding this protease, Apopaln, turned out to be the same as CPP32, a cDNA that was cloned in the previous year by ...
