6. Mitochondrial Pathways in physiological cell death • the release of caspase activators (such as cytochrome c), • changes in electron transport, • loss of mitochondrial transmembrane potential, • altered cellular oxidation-reduction, • participation of pro- and antiapoptotic Bcl-2 family proteins.

7. If mitochondria are pivotal in controlling cell life and death, then how do these organelles kill? At least three general mechanisms are known, and their effects may be interrelated, including (i) disruption of electron transport, oxidative phosphorylation, and adenosine triphosphate (ATP) production; (ii) release of proteins that trigger activation of caspase family proteases; and (iii) alteration of cellular reduction-oxidation (redox) potential Mitochondrial Pathways in physiological cell death

8. Disruption of electron transport and energy metabolism • disruption of electron transport has been recognized as an early feature of cell death. • γ-Irradiation induces apoptosis in thymocytes and a disruption in the electron transport chain, probably at the cytochrome b-c1/cytochrome c (cyto c) step. • Ceramide (a "second messenger" implicated in apoptosis signaling) disrupts electron transport at the same step in cells as well as in isolated mitochondria. • Ligation of Fas also leads to a disruption in cyto c function in electron transport.

9. Disruption of electron transport and energy metabolism • One consequence of the loss of electron transport should be a drop in ATP production. Although such a drop has been observed during apoptosis, it often occurs relatively late in the process (14). • Indeed, ATP appears to be required for downstream events in apoptosis (15). • Thus, although loss of mitochondrial ATP production can kill a cell, it is unlikely that this is a mechanism for induction of apoptosis.

10. Disruption of electron transport and energy metabolism • 线粒体跨膜电位的耗散与细胞凋亡有密切关系 • 　　近年来陆续有报道说明线粒体跨膜电位的耗散早于核酸酶的激活，也早于磷酯酰丝氨酸暴露于细胞表面。而一旦线粒体跨膜电位耗散，细胞就会进入不可逆的凋亡过程。线粒体解联的呼吸链会产生大量活性氧，氧化线粒体内膜上的心磷脂。实验证明，用解偶联剂mClCCP会导致淋巴细胞凋亡。而如果能稳定线粒体跨膜电位就能防止细胞凋亡。

11. Release of caspase-activating proteins • The importance of mitochondria in apoptosis was suggested by studies with a cell-free system in which spontaneous, • Bcl-2-inhibitable nuclear condensation and DNA fragmentation were found to be dependent on the presence of mitochondria (16). • Subsequently, studies in another cell-free system showed that induction of caspase activation by addition of deoxyadenosine triphosphate depended on the presence of cyto c released from mitochondria during extract preparation (17). During apoptosis (in vitro and in vivo) cyto c is released from mitochondria and this is inhibited by the presence of Bcl-2 on these organelles (18, 19). • Cytosolic cyto c forms an essential part of the vertebrate "apoptosome," which is composed of cyto c, Apaf-1, and procaspase-9 (20). The result is activation of caspase-9, which then processes and activates other caspases to orchestrate the biochemical execution of cells.

12. Release of caspase-activating proteins • Significantly, caspase inhibitors do not prevent cyto c release induced by several apoptogenic agents, including UV irradiation, staurosporine, and overexpression of Bax (14, 21, 22). An exception is cyto c release from mitochondria induced by the tumor necrosis factor receptor family member Fas, in which cyto c release is prevented by inhibition of caspases (primarily caspase-8) recruited to the cytosolic domain of ligated Fas (21). Nevertheless, cyto c release can sometimes contribute to Fas-mediated apoptosis by amplifying the effects of caspase-8 on activation of downstream caspases (23). • The emergent view is that once cyto c is released, this commits the cell to die by either a rapid apoptotic mechanism involving Apaf-1-mediated caspase activation or a slower necrotic process due to collapse of electron transport, which occurs when cyto c is depleted from mitochondria, resulting in a variety of deleterious sequelae including generation of oxygen free radicals and decreased production of ATP

13. Reactive oxygen species and cellular redox. • Mitochondria are the major source of superoxide anion production in cells. • During transfer of electrons to molecular oxygen, an estimated 1 to 5% of electrons in the respiratory chain lose their way, most participating in formation of O2. Anything that decreases the coupling efficiency of electron chain transport can therefore increase production of superoxides.

14. Reactive oxygen species and cellular redox. • Superoxides and lipid peroxidation are increased during apoptosis induced by myriad stimuli (28). • However, generation of ROS may be a relatively late event, occurring after cells have embarked on a process of caspase activation. • In this regard, attempts to study apoptosis under conditions of anoxia have demonstrated that at least some proapoptotic stimuli function in the absence or near absence of oxygen, which implies that ROSs are not the sine qua non of apoptosis (29, 30). • However, ROSs can be generated under conditions of virtual anaerobiosis (31), and thus their role in apoptosis cannot be excluded solely on this basis.

16. PT Pore • In many apoptosis scenarios, the mitochondrial inner transmembrane potential (m) collapses (32), indicating the opening of a large conductance channel known as the mitochondrial PT pore (33) (Fig. 2). • its constituents include both inner membrane proteins, such as the adenine nucleotide translocator (ANT), and outer membrane proteins, such as porin (voltage-dependent anion channel; VDAC), which operate in concert, presumably at inner and outer membrane contact sites, and create a channel through which molecules ≤1.5 kD pass (32, 34).

17. PT Pore • Opening of this nonselective channel in the inner membrane allows for an equilibration of ions within the matrix and intermembrane space of mitochondria, thus dissipating the H+ gradient across the inner membrane and uncoupling the respiratory chain. • Perhaps more importantly, PT pore opening results in a volume dysregulation of mitochondria due to the hyperosmolality of the matrix, which causes the matrix space to expand. • Because the inner membrane with its folded cristae possesses a larger surface area than the outer membrane, this matrix volume expansion can eventually cause outer membrane rupture, releasing caspase-activating proteins located within the intermembrane space into the cytosol (Fig. 1).

19. PT Pore 的性质 通过一些实验室的研究，以下诸点值得指出： • 线粒体内膜通透性转变既是细胞凋亡的必须条件，也是它的充足条件。 • PT孔道打开后导致线粒体许多功能的致命性变化从而启动了死亡途径。 • PT孔道作为许多生理效应的感受器（二价阳离子、ATP、ADP、NAD、ΔΨm、pH、巯基与多肽)，整合了电生理、氧化还原与细胞代谢状态的信息。 • PT孔道的组成成分ADP-ATP载体是能量代谢的重要分子，由于ADP-ATP载体是由一个基因家族的几个成员所编码，它的表达有严格的组织专一性。因此，PT孔道在不同细胞中的调节可能稍有不同。 • PT孔道的作用有自放大的效应。 • PT诱导ΔΨm耗散，而反过来 mClCCP使ΔΨm去极化会导致PT。一些PT的结果例如ΔΨm 耗散，活性氧的生成本身也会导致PT。这就说明PT会有正反馈， 从而在细胞凋亡中有自摧毁的作用。反过来，如果能防止ΔΨm的耗散，就能避免氧化还原不平衡、磷酯酰丝氨酸的暴露与蛋白酶和核酸酶的激活。

20. PT孔道开放导致细胞凋亡。 在PT孔道开放时线粒体释放细胞凋亡诱导因子(AIF)。 AIF可能是一种蛋白水解酶，位于线粒体膜间间隙，它能被蛋白酶抑制剂如N-苄氧羰基-缬氨酰-丙氨酰-门冬氨酰氟甲基酮(N-benzyloxycarbonyl-Val-Ala-Asp-fluoromethylketone)所抑制。 苍术苷促进PT通道开放。 苍术苷只能与ADP-ATP载体的胞液侧结合。 此外从线粒体释放的细胞色素C也是一种细胞凋亡诱导因子。 而PT孔道关闭能防止细胞凋亡。 当PT孔道与环孢菌素A(cyclosporin A)或SH，或米酵菌酸(bongkrek acid)结合时PT孔道被关闭。 米酵菌酸可与ADP-ATP载体的胞液及基质二侧结合 PT Pore有开放与关闭二种构象
