Parthanatos
Parthanatos
Parthanatos is a form of regulated cell death that follows a multistep cascade and is triggered by the accumulation of poly (ADP-ribose) (PAR). When PAR polymerase-1 (PARP-1) is overactivated under certain conditions, excessive PAR is produced and binds to apoptosis-inducing factor (AIF). As a result, AIF is released from the mitochondria and forms a complex with macrophage migration inhibitory factor (MIF). Subsequently, the AIF/MIF complex is translocated to the nucleus where MIF cleaves genomic DNA into large fragments, and cell death follows. Studies have found that parthanatos is involved in the pathogenesis of many diseases, particularly neurodegenerative disorders, such as Alzheimer's disease, Huntington's disease, Parkinson's disease, and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS).
