INVITED REVIEW
Physiology of apoptosis

Ion fluxes and volume changes of the whole cell as well as of organelles belong to the hallmarks of apoptosis; however, the molecular mechanism regulating these changes is only poorly characterized. Several ion channels in the plasma membrane, in particular the N-type K+ channel, the chloride channel cystic fibrosis conductance regulator, and an outward rectifying chloride channel, as well as the mitochondrial permeability transition pore, have been implicated to be involved in signal transduction cascades regulating apoptosis. Furthermore, Bcl-2-like proteins have been suggested to function, at least in part, as ion channels, because they display some homology to bacterial pore-forming toxins. In contrast to the demonstration of the involvement of these different ion channels in apoptosis, the molecular consequences regulated by these ion channels, and finally triggering apoptosis, are almost completely unknown.
