细胞死亡是生命过程中的一个组成部分,它有两种不同的方式,即坏死(necro sis)和细胞凋亡(apop to sis)。近年来,随着分子生物学研究的进展,生物学家逐渐认识到细胞凋亡具有特殊的生物学意义,由此形成了新的研究热点。本文介绍了细胞凋亡的分子机制,即细胞凋亡的基因调控,着重就细胞凋亡的相关基因及其作用作了综述。 Cell death is an integral part of life. There are two different ways, necroisis and apop to sis. In recent years, with the progress of molecular biology research, biologists have come to realize that apoptosis has a special biological significance, thus forming a new research hot spot. This article describes the molecular mechanism of apoptosis, that is, the gene regulation of apoptosis, focusing on apoptosis related genes and their role were reviewed.
