1 Types of cell death and apoptosis resistance mechanisms Prof.Dr.rer. rer. nat.anna Trauzold Institut for Experimental Cancer Research

2 Physiological cell death Embryogenesis Control of the tissue size Renewal of epithelia Selection (immune system) Elimination of tumor cells Elimination of infected/injured cells

3 (Patho)physiological cell death (too much) Neurodegenerative diseases (Morbus Parkinson) Infections (HIV, HBV, HCV) Cardiovascular diseases (cardiac infarction) Radio /Chemotherapy Cirrhosis of the liver

4 (Patho)physiological cell death (too little) Efficient induction and successful execution of cell death is an aim of many anti tumor tumor therapies Hanahan & Weinberg, 2011, Cell 144:

5 Until recently Apoptosis vs. Necrosis programmed vs. accidental active vs. passive

6 Until recently induced by extremely harsh physical conditions Passive process Clarke & Smyth, 2007, Nat. Biotech. 25: Accidental cell death Necrosis cell death with inflammation

7 Until recently eat me signal macrophage Active process Clarke & Smyth, 2007, Nat. Biotech. 25: Programmed (regulated) cell death Apoptosis p activation of caspases silent death without inflammation and immune response

12 No more valid equation! Programmed (regulated) cell death Apoptosis activation of caspases silent death without inflammation and immune response Existence of other forms of regulated cell death (necroptosis and autophagic cell death)

13 No more valid equation! Programmed (regulated) cell death Apoptosis activation of caspases silent death without inflammation and immune response Existence of other forms of regulated cell death (necroptosis and autophagic cell death) Apoptosis can occur also without activation of caspases, caspases can also be activated in other cell death modalities

14 No more valid equation! Programmed (regulated) cell death Apoptosis activation of caspases silent death without inflammation and immune response Existence of other forms of regulated cell death (necroptosis and autophagic cell death) Apoptosis can occur also without activation of caspases, caspases can also be activated in other cell death modalities Cells dying by apoptosis can induce inflammation and immune response

15 No more valid equation! Programmed (regulated) cell death Apoptosis activation of caspases silent death without inflammation and immune response Tumour cells dying after exposure to antracyclins (for example doxorubicin, mitoxantrone), oxaliplatin or ionizing radiation can induce strong anticancer immune response Priming of CD4+ and CD8+ lymphocytes, anti-tumor response Calreticulin (CRT) at the plasma membrane of dying cell eat me signal for antigen presenting dendritic cells Reviewed by Kepp et al., 2011, Cancer Metastasis Rev 30:61-69.

16 Immunogenic Cell Death (ICD) determines the long term success of anticancer therapy Suboptimal regimens (without inducing ICD) Alterations in cancer cells (preventing emission of immunogenic signals) Defects in the immune effectors (abolishing the perception of ICD by the immune system) All contribute to therapeutic failure ICD immunogenic cell death; DC, dendritic cell; CTL, cytotoxic T-cell lymphocytes; CRT, calreticulin Kroemer et al., 2013, Annu. Rev. Immunol. 31:51-72.

17 No more valid equation! Programmed (regulated) cell death Apoptosis activation of caspases silent death without inflammation and immune response Passive process Accidental cell death cell death Necrosis with inflammation not always! In some cases (inhibition of caspases) stimulation of cells with death ligands (CD95, TNFalpha, TRAIL) leads to necrosis = necroptosis regulated, active process

18 Emerging pathways of regulated necrosis Necroptosis, parthanatos, oxytosis, ferroptosis, NETosis, pyronecrosis and pyroptosis RIPK1/3: receptor-interacting protein kinase 1/3 MLKL: mixed lineage kinase domain-like Berghe et al., Nat Rev Mol Cell Biol. (2014) ;15(2):

19 Cell death modalities today Regulated cell death cell death occuring by dedicated molecular machinery, can be inhibited by targeted pharmacological and/or genetic intervention Apoptosis (extrinsic and intrinsic pathways) Autophagic cell death / cell death with autophagy Necroptosis (maybe some other forms) regulated necrosis Accidental cell death cell death triggered by extremely harsh physical conditions, cannot be inhibited by pharmacological and/or genetic manipulations Necrosis

20 Autophagy: Renovation of cells and tissues Major intracellular degradation system by which cytoplasmic materials aredelivered to anddegradeddegraded inthe lysosome The purpose of autophagy is not the simple elimination of materials, instead it serves as dynamic recycling system that produces new building blocks and energy for cellular renovation and homeostasis Essential role in: metabolic adaptation (starvation) intracellularquality control (degradation of damaged mitochondria) renovation during development (after fertilization maternal proteins and RNAs are extensively degraded while new proteins encoded by the zygotic genome aresynthesized) differentiation (lineage differentiation: adipocytes, erythrocytes, T cells) Impairment or activation of autophagy contributes to pathogenesis of diverse diseases Mizushima & Komatsu, Cell 2011, 147:

21 Autophagic cell death In mammals autophagy is usually a self- limiting process that protects cells from death and is essential for tissue homeostasis. mammalian cells die usually either by necrosis or apoptosis. presence of the autophagosomes usually only accompany cell death - cell death with autophagy real autophagic cell death There are only few known examples of cell death that can be prevented by genetic inhibition of autophagy in mammals in lower organisms, several developmental processes (salivary gland involution in the larvae of Drosophila, excitotoxic i cell death of Caenorabditis elegans neurons) Kroemer & Levine, Nat. Rev. Mol. Cell Biol Dec;9(12): Galluzzi et al., Cell Death Differ., 2015 Jan;22(1):58-73.
