In this review I summarize interrelations between bioenergelc processes and such programmed death phenomena as cell suicide (apoptosis and necrosis) and mitochondrial suicide (miloptosis). The following conclusions are made. (I) ATP and rather often mitochondrial hyperpolarization (i.e. an increase in membrane potential, Delta Psi) are required for certain steps of apoptosis and necrosis. (II) Apoptosis, even if it is accompanied by Delta Psi and [ATP] Increases at its early stage, finally results in a Delta Psi collapse and ATP decrease. (III) Moderate (about threw-fold) lowering of [ATP] for short and long periods of time induces apoptosis and necrosis, respectively. In some types of apoptosis and necrosis, the cell death is mediated by a Delta Psi-dependent overproduction of ROS by the initial (Complex I) and the middle (Complex III) spans of the respiratory chain. ROS initiate mitoptosis which is postulated to rid the intracellular population of mitochondria from those that are ROS overproducing. Massive mitoptosis can result in cell death due to release to cytosol of the cell death proteins normally hidden in the mitochondrial Intermembrane space.
