Q

Unfolded protein response and ER stress

A

When misfolded proteins accumulate in the ER they trigger the UPR
Response is
Increased production of chaperons which control the proper folding of proteins

Enhance proteosomal degradation of misfolded proteins

Slow protein translation

If UPR doesn’t work it cause apoptosis and is called ER stress

A

is localized death of cells, tissues, organs, or parts of the body in a living organism
Due to some underlying pathologic process; never physiologic

28
Q

Swelling and vacuolation of the cytoplasm

Cell and organelle membranes rupture

Liquefactive necrosis
Caseous necrosis
Fat necrosis
Fibrinoid necrosis

31
Q

coagulative type

A

tissue firm and pale and preserved
most common
because of ischemia or infraction except brain
ischemia leads to protein/enzyme denaturation

32
Q

coagulative in order

A

reduced ph
denatured enzymes
no proteolysis

33
Q

liquefactive necrosis or colliquative

A

Enzymatic breakdown&raquo_space; protein denaturation
Usually associated with bacterial or fungal infections and form abcess or pus

Seen in organs that have a high-fat and low protein content -brain
high-enzymatic content (eg, the pancreas) or lack of a proper collagenous connective tissue framework

34
Q

wet
gas

35
Q

dry and wet gangrene difference

A
36
Q

caseous

A

Combination of coagulative and liquefactive necrosis.
Typically found in tuberculous and fungal granuloma.
On gross; it is soft and greasy, resembling cottage cheese.

37
Q

fat necrosis

A

Fat necrosis: This type of necrosis occurs when there is damage to adipose tissue, resulting in the release of fatty acids, which can combine with calcium ions to form chalky white deposits. It is commonly seen in the breast and acute pancreatitis
chalk white deposit is soap so saponification

38
Q
A

limited to small blood vessels.
No distinct macroscopic features.
This type of necrosis is characterized by the deposition of immune complexes and fibrin in the walls of blood vessels, which can lead to vessel damage and inflammation.
Characteristic of malignant hypertension and vasculitis. It may also be seen in rheumatic fever, rheumatoid arthritis, hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection, systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), etc

41
Q

Sequence of Morphological Changes in Apoptosis

A
  1. Cell shrinkage (increased density of the cytoplasm with tightly packed organelles)
  2. Chromatin condensation under the nuclear membrane followed by nuclear fragmentation (karyorrhexis)

43
Q

Mechanism of Apoptosis

A
  1. Initiation of apoptosis by activation of signalling pathways:
  2. Control and integration:
  3. Execution phase:
  4. Removal of dead cells:
44
Q

intrinsic mitochondrial activation of apoptosis

A

This pathway is initiated by the release of cytochrome c from the mitochondria into the cytosol. Cytochrome c then binds to Apaf-1 (apoptotic protease activating factor-1), which leads to the activation of caspase-9 and the subsequent activation of downstream caspases.
all because of increase in permeability of mitochondial membrane
Release of these factors is regulated by Bcl family of proteins on mitochondrial membrane

45
Q

extrinsic death receptor pathway

A

This pathway is initiated by the binding of ligands such as tumor necrosis factor (TNF) or Fas ligand (FasL) to death receptors such as TNF receptor-1 or Fas. This binding leads to the activation of caspase-8, which can then activate downstream caspases.

46
Q

p53 pathway

A

This pathway is initiated by the binding of ligands such as tumor necrosis factor (TNF) or Fas ligand (FasL) to death receptors such as TNF receptor-1 or Fas. This binding leads to the activation of caspase-8, which can then activate downstream caspases.

47
Q

other way of activation of apoptosis hint lymphocytes

A

Lymphocytes release perforins that punch a hole in the cell membrane of the target cell
Then, they release granzyme B into target cell that activates the caspases

48
Q

Control and integration:

A

controlled by BCL2 family of proteins which include ‘antiapoptotic proteins’ (BCL2, BCL-XL and MCL1); ‘proapoptotic proteins’ (BAX and BAK); and ‘BCL2 sensor proteins’ (BAD, BIM, Puma, Noxa).

49
Q

Execution phase:

A

Proteolytic cascade involving execution caspases (caspases 3 and 6).

50
Q

Removal of dead cells:

A

by macrophages
Removal is aided by expression of phosphatidylserine, secretion of soluble factors like thrombospondin and coating of apoptotic cells by natural antibodies and of the complement proteins (opsonization)

51
Q

Phosphatidylserine and thrombospondin for removal of death cells

A

Phosphatidylserine is normally located on the inner leaflet of the plasma membrane, but during apoptosis, it becomes exposed on the outer leaflet. This serves as a signal for phagocytic cells, such as macrophages, to recognize and engulf the apoptotic cell.

Soluble factors such as thrombospondin can also contribute to the recognition and removal of apoptotic cells. Thrombospondin can bind to receptors on phagocytic cells and promote the engulfment of apoptotic cells.

52
Q

cancer and autoimmunity

Q
