• Cytoskeleton
• Stability of cell shape
• Nucleus
• Control of all activities of the cell
• Synthesis of RNA
• Synthesis of ribosomes
• Sending genetic instruction to cytoplasm for protein
synthesis
• Control of cell division
• Storage of hereditary information in genes (DNA)
• Mitochondria:
• Cytochrome C and second mitochondria-derived activator of caspases
(SMAC)/diablo secreted in mitochondria are involved in apoptosis
• Caspases (cysteine-aspartic proteases, cysteine aspartases or
cysteine-dependent aspartate-directed proteases) are a family of
protease enzymes playing essential roles in programmed cell death
(including apoptosis, pyroptosis and necroptosis) and inflammation.
• Pyroptosis is a highly inflammatory form of programmed cell death
that occurs most frequently upon infection with intracellular
pathogens and is likely to form part of the antimicrobial response.
• Necroptosis is a programmed form of necrosis, or inflammatory cell
death. Conventionally, necrosis is associated with unprogrammed cell
death resulting from cellular damage or infiltration by pathogens, in
contrast to orderly, programmed cell death via apoptosis.
