Apoptosis in the lung: induction, clearance and detection

Abstract: Apoptosis and other forms of programmed cell death are important contributors to lung pathophysiology. In this brief review, we discuss some of the implications of finding apoptotic cells in the lung and methods for their detection. The balance between induction of apoptosis and the normally highly efficient clearance of such cells shows that these are highly dynamic processes and suggests that abnormalities of apoptotic cell clearance may be an alternative explanation for their detection. Because recognition … Show more

“…In Prtn3 -/-mice, PR3 was also ablated in monocytes and macrophages, which may indirectly affect neutrophil accumulation by changing the inflammatory environment in the peritoneal cavity. Additionally, the proportion of apoptotic neutrophils may also be affected by engulfment and clearance of apoptotic neutrophils by phagocytes (i.e., efferocytosis) (26,27). Thus, to investigate whether PR3 is directly involved in neutrophil death in vivo, we conducted an adoptive transfer experiment ( Figure 9C).…”

“…P hagocytosis of apoptotic cells, also known as efferocytosis, occupies an important role in normal tissue homeostasis and regulation of immune responses (1)(2)(3). Rapid clearance of dying cells prevents leakage of potentially cytotoxic or antigenic contents into the extracellular milieu and the resultant initiation of inflammatory processes and tissue injury (4).…”

“…Apoptosis commitment features a similar phenotype of cellular rounding and partial detachment from the extracellular matrix, 33,34 leading to an increase in the cell height.The loss of cell height observed in the progression from early to late apoptosis can be attributed to the overall loss of cellular volume and content through the continual blebbing phenomenon and loss of membrane permeabilty. 35,36 Although both mitosis and apoptosis involve cell rounding due to partial detachment from the substrate, acoustic measurement of cell height may quickly discern cell growth from apoptosis, as cell undergoing the latter process will proceed to decrease cell height.…”
