Figure 1Pro-apoptotic signaling pathways

Diagram depicts major pro-apoptotic signaling pathways. BH3-only proteins function as upstream sentinels of cell stress. Bid is activated by caspase-8 which is itself activated downstream of death receptors. Bad is activated by calcium-dependent phosphatases, while Bim and Puma are up-regulated by FoxO or p53, respectively. BH3-only proteins trigger Bax-Bak activation and apoptogenic factors are released from mitochondria, including cytochrome c (cyt c) which activates the apoptosome and caspase cascade, and apoptosis-inducing factor (AIF). Ancillary pathways include induction of apoptosis via the ASK1/JNK/c-Jun pathway and other pathways such as those downstream of endoplasmic reticulum stress.
