2.6 Termination of inflammation Flashcards
inflammation termination mediators
TGF beta, IL10
lipid mediators
lipoxins,
resolvins, and
protectins
discharge of
Ach_..cholinergic discharge
steps
resolution,
fibrosis (scar),
abscess,
chronic inflammation
areas that do not have capacity to undergo resolution
brain and heart - so you only see scar or worse
when you cannot dilute you under go
chronic inflammation
chronic inflammation occurs
when acute response is unsuccessful and may occur initially in many situations -
chronic inflammation involves
mononuclear cells,
scarring ,
tissue destruction
persistent infectious agens that avoid acute inflammation
TB, fungi, treptonemes, autoimmunity, foreign bodies, parasites
activated macrophages lead to
epitheliod cells,
giant cells,
granuloma formation
differntiated macrophages
microglia,
kupffer cells,
alveolar macrophages,
osteoclasts
macrophages are very plastic cells meaning that
they can activate and deactivate functions when needed
alveolar macrophages have a downregulated
ability to make free readicals bc they are constantly responding to particulate matter and don_t’ want to squirt out radicals all the time
what kills alveolar macs
TB – causes some infalmmation, t cells come in, pump up gamma getting macs activated to kill intracellular target
products released by macrophages
enzymes, neutral proteases, elastase, collagenase, plasminogen activator, acid hydrolases, phosphatases, lipases, plasmaproteins, complement, coagulation factors, reactive metabolites of oxygen, eicosanoids, cytokines and chemokines (TNF IL1, IL8) , growthfactors (PDGF, EGF, FGF, TGFbeta), nitric oxide
cross over cells from innate to adaptive immunity
macrophages
Eosinophils associated with
allergic (TH2) types of reactions involved in parasitic infections
