3.8 wound healing Flashcards
Wound healing process
injury, inflammation, cleanup, angiogenesis, collagen deposition (fibrosis), remodeling, maturation
neutrophil halflife is
short so inflammation needs to be cleand up soon
lipoxins bring in
macrophages for clean up
angiogenesis can be
buding and growing at end of vessels, or
endotheial cells break off and invade tissues, divide and reassemble
Fibrosis
scar formation by fibroblasts - done randomly
remodling
eat collagen and relay it down
maturation
if it is a big scar wound contracts
angiogenesis mechanisms
endothelial precurso cells (EPCs) and from pre-existing vessels
Endothelial precursor cells (EPCs)
formation of new vessels from EPCs that reside in the BM and travel via blood to sites of injury.
EPCs can differentiate into all cells that form vessels
Angiogenesis from pre-existing vessels
endothelial cells from vessels in surrounding tissues migrate into site of injury and form new vessels
steps in angiogenesis
proteolytic degredation of vessel releasing endothelial cells, migration of endothelial cells, proliferation, modling into capillary tubes, recruitment of supporting cells
factors in proliferation
VEGF-VEGF R2
factors in tube formation
VEGF-VEGF R1 - at some poiut you stat to upreg rec 1 and binding causes cells to stop dividing and form tubes
angiopoietin 1 (Ang-1) and Tie2
recruit peri-Ecs and tube maturation
in growht of vessel stimulated by
VEGF with VEGF R1 and R2
Ang2-Tie2 with high VEGF
enhanses response to VEGF –>mature vessels
Ang2-Tie2 with low VEGF
signal for angiogenesis becomes inhibitory
Maturation remodling factors
PDGF, TGFbeta and their receptors and Ang2/Tie2
granulation tissue
the end result of angiogenesis, where there are newly formed capillaries in a loose connective tissue mix
how long does granulation tissue take to form
approx 5 dyas
what takes longer middle or edge
middle
new leaky bloodvessels are
very prone to trauma –so more dangerous at 5 days than 2 days
Fibrosis
migration and proliferation of fibroblasts,
collagen synthesis/ECM deposition,
tissue remodling
leaky blood vessels leak out
plasma proteins like fibronectin and other adhesive glycoproteins to form the cell stratum/ early ECM for fibroblasts
Macrophages, endothelial cells, and platelets secrete
chemotactic and mitogenic factors for fibroblasts: TGFbeta, PDGF, EGF, FGF, and cytokines IL1 and TNF
