ABSTRACT
All multicellular organisms have mechanisms to kill their own cells, and use physiological cell death for defense, development, homeostasis and aging. Apoptosis is a morphologically recognizable form of cell death, implemented by a mechanism that has been conserved throughout evolution from nematodes to man. Abnormalities in cell death control can contribute to a variety of diseases, including cancer, autoimmunity and degenerative disorders. Apoptosis of lung cells occurs during lung infections and may be either a host defense mechanism or reflect the pathogenesis of the infection. In the first part of this review, the physiology of apoptotic pathways is discussed. This is followed by an overview of apoptotic mechanisms in selected lung pathologies.
