2. Inflammation, Inflammatory Disorders, and Wound Healing Flashcards
What activates TLRs?
PAMPs
What is the TLR4 co-receptor on macrophages that recognizes LPS (gram negative bacteria)?
CD14
What is the role of prostaglandins (E2, D2, and I2)?
vasodilation and increased vascular permeability
What is the more specialized role of PGE2?
mediates Fever and Pain
What is the role of LTC4, LTD4, and LTE4?
Vasoconstriction, bronchospasm, increased vascular permeability
What are the 4 mediators of neutrophil migration?
LTB4
C5a
IL-8
Bacterial products
In what 3 ways are mast cells activated?
- Tissue trauma
- Complement C3a or C5a
- Crosslinking of cell-surface IgE by Ag
What are the actions of histamine?
Vasodilate arterioles
Increase vascular permeability (at post capillary venules)
What allows for delayed and prolonged response to histamine?
Leukotrienes
What can Hageman factor (Factor XII) lead to?
DIC (gram negative sepsis)
What are the roles of bradykinin?
Mediates vasodilation
Increased vascular permeability
Pain mediating
What causes the rubor and calor of inflammation?
vasodilation
What causes the tumor of inflammation?
increased vascular permeability and tissue damage
What causes the fever of inflammation?
Macrophages release IL-1 and TNF which increase COX activity from the hypothalamus and increase PGE2 to raise the temperature set point
What molecules lead to “rolling” of neutrophils?
selectins
From where are P-selectins released and what is the stimulus?
histamine causes release of P-selectin from Weibel Palade bodies
What induces the release of E-selectins?
TNF and IL-1
To what do selectins bind on leukocytes?
sialyl Lewis X
What molecules lead to adhesion of the leukocytes?
ICAM and VCAM (upregulated by TNF and IL-1)
What is the cause of Leukocyte adhesion deficiency?
AR defect of integrins (CD18 subunit)
18 yo LADs have no INTEGRity
Into what type of vessels do leukocytes transmigrate across?
postcapillary venules
What is the underlying problem in Chediak-Higashi Syndrome?
protein trafficking defect due to decreased microtubule system (so no phagolysosomes can be formed)
In the O2 dependent killing pathway, what defect will NOT show blue NBT dye?
Chronic granulomatous disease
What is the underlying cause of chronic granulomatous disease?
AR or XL NADPH oxidase defect
What type of bacterial infection is seen in chronic granulomatous disease?
Catalase Positive bacteria
List the most high yield catalase positive bacteria.
Staph Aureus
Pseudomonas cepacia
Serratia marcescens
In the O2 dependent killing pathway, what defect will show blue NBT dye?
MPO deficiency (because there is a normal NADPH oxidase)
What is the presentation of a patient with NADPH oxidase deficiency?
Candida infections (but mostly asymptomatic)
What happens to neutrophils post inflammation?
they undergo apoptosis
How do macrophages destroy phagocytosed bacteria?
enzymes (ex. lysozyme) in secondary granules that use O2 dependent killing
List the two anti-inflammatory cytokines released from macrophages during resolution and healing.
IL-10
TGF-beta
What cytokine released by macrophages recruits additional neutrophils for “continued acute inflammation”?
IL-8
What type of T cell recognizes MHC class I?
CD8+
What type of T cell recognized MCH class II?
CD4+
