Cytolysis terms #1756

Closed gocentral closed 9 years ago

gocentral commented 20 years ago

Cytolysis terms

The following terms need to be added to or changed in the GO. I apologize for the proliferation of synonyms.

Thanks,

Alex

1) GO:0019835 cytolysis

Synonym: lysis [<]

Proposed additional synonym: cytotoxicity [=]

Current definition: The rupture of cell membranes and the loss of cytoplasm.

Proposed new definition: The directed killing of target cells through apoptotic or non-apoptotic mechanisms.

The problem with the original definition is that, despite its etymological formation, the word cytolysis has been widely used to describe any type of killing of target cells, whether through apoptotic or non-apoptotic mechanisms. Indeed, it is now clear that T-cell killing of target cells through perforin dependent mechanisms, NK cell killing, and ADCC are all apoptotic mechanisms in physiological circumstances, yet these are still termed cytolysis, even though it is clear that large scale membrane rupture is not part of the process, and the loss of cytoplasm is through cellular blebbing.
Hemolysis is non-apoptotic and as defined in the GO, a lytic destruction of another organism's erythrocytes.

Thus, I believe the best way to capture the de facto meaning of cytolysis is to define it as essentially any means of killing target cells (whether self or non-self), and use other process and function terms to point to mechanistic features of particular processes.

2) GO:0042268 regulation of cytolysis

Current definition: Any process that modulates the frequency, rate or extent of the rupture of cell membranes and the loss of cytoplasm.

Proposed new definition: Any process that modulates the frequency, rate, or extent of cytolysis.

Reference: ISBN:0781735149, PMID:11911826, PMID:14512315

3) New Term: T-cell mediated cytotoxicity

Synonym: T cell mediated cytotoxicity [=]

Synonym: T-cell mediated apoptosis [=]

Synonym: T cell mediated apoptosis [=]

Synonym: T-cell mediated cell killing [=]

Synonym: T cell mediated cell killing [=]

Synonym: T-cell mediated cell death [=]

Synonym: T cell mediated cell death [=]

Synonym: T-cell mediated cytolysis [=]

Synonym: T cell mediated cytolysis [=]

Definition: The directed killing of a target cell by a T-cell through the release of granules containing cytotoxic mediators or through the engagement of death receptors.

Parentage: is-a to GO:0019835 cytolysis and is-a to GO:00069174 induction of apoptosis

Comment: Note that either or both mechanisms mentioned in the definition may be used in this process.

Comment: Note that both granule release and the engagement of death receptors on target cells result in the induction of apoptosis in the target cell.

Comment: Note that both CD4 and CD8 positive T-cells can mediate apoptosis of target cells, independently of their definition as "helper" T-cells or not.

Reference: ISBN:0781735149, PMID:11911826

[Editorial note: although isolated perforin has been shown to induce cytolysis directly when applied to target cells at high concentrations, experimental evidence shows that the function of perforin is to allow access of granzymes into the cytoplasm of the target cell, followed by the granzyme mediated cleavage of caspase and non-caspase components of the apoptotic pathway leading to the induction of apoptosis.]

Hi Alex

I'm not sure of the 'directed killing' part of your definition...do you think your defs work well for toxins.. Not sure of cytotoxicity being = to cytolysis either.. I think cytotoxicity can occur without eventually causing cytolysis...what do you think?

perhaps we can discuss these more at the annotation camp.. cheers Evelyn

Hello, I have to agree with Evelyn that I don't think "cytolysis" = "cytotoxicity". Also, it seems that the spur to changing the definition of this term in GO is because people in the T-cell, NK cell, and ADCC communities are inappropriately calling their process "cytolysis". In my experience "cytolysis" always refers to a rupture of membranes. I agree that GO needs a "cell killing" term of which "cytolysis" should be a child. I suggested one back in the winter - that whole thread has been put on hold until the next content meeting in August since there seemed to be difficulty in reaching consensus (over the pathogenesis issue). In addition, there is an effort underway by a group called PAMGO that will be suggesting some new "cell killing" terms to the GO in the very near future. Perhaps a generic "cell killing" term is the better way to go rather than redefining something which, I think, has a pretty clear biological meaning. Just my two cents... Michelle

Evelyn and Michelle,

I'm quite happy to shift the cytotoxicity terms to be children of a new immune cell mediated cytotoxicity term, rather than to be children of cytolysis. In fact that's how I originally wrote up the entry. I switched to having these terms under cytolysis because somebody earlier had placed natural killer mediated cytolysis under cytolysis. This was not a surprise to me, because immunologists had long used the term cytolysis as a synonym for NK and T cell killing of target cells, due to an earlier misunderstanding of the mechanisms involved. When I started in immunology, it was thought that perforin release from these cell types literally lysed the target cells, although now it is known that perforin acts in physiological settings only to facilitate the entrance of granzymes into the target cells. I assumed therefore that cytolysis was being used in the GO with a broader meaning, and thought I should bring the definition in line with that.

Anyway, it makes sense to separate T-cell mediated cytotoxicity, NK cell mediated cytotoxicity, and ADCC, all of which share common elements, away from cytolysis, which then can be reserved for nasty microbial gene products and perhaps C9 and other members of the complement cascade.

Regarding the "directed killing" part of my definitions, my intention is for these terms to be used to describe contact- dependent killing of target cells by immune system cells (in many or most situations following the formation of an immunological synapse), not for the random killing of susceptible cells following the release of cytokines in the broader environment.

Since I do not then wish to change the GO definition of cytolysis, and want remove the immune system-related terms from being its children, I do not believe that this entry then bears on the issue of pathogenesis or toxins and therefore the terms can be entered in the near term. We really need a "T-cell mediated cytotoxicity" term in the GO, as this phenomenon is central to immune responses to virally and bacterially infected cells. Also, at the moment I do not think an additional "cell killing" term is needed in the GO, since GO:0008219 cell death already exists as grouping term.

Thus, I have made appropriate changes below.

I have closed this item and incorporated the terms into a new sourceforge entry 1012931 discussing cell killing.

See you there and at Stanford,

Alex
