Cell and tissue Flashcards
Causes hyperplasia
BPH, HPV, breast puberty, wound healing
Causes hypertrophy
Uterus pregnancy, breast pregnancy, cardiac muscle in chronic hypertension
Cardiac hypertrophy
mechanical sensors
growth factors
vasoactive agent ( alpha ag, AT II, endothilin 1)
Cause signal to transcription factors GATA4, MFAT, MEF2
Columnar to squamous metaplasia
resp tract due to smoking / vit A deficiency
salivary, pancreatic, biliary duct
Squamous to columnar metaplasia
Barretts osophagus
Karyolysis
Pyknosis
Karyorhexis
fading of nucleus
Shrinking
fragmentation
Necrotic cell microscopy
eosinophilia, loss glycogen, myelin figures, nuclear degradation, lysosomal swelling
Coagulative necrosis
tissue architecture preserved - happens in gangrenous, solid organ ischaemia (brain liquefactive)
Fibrinoid necrosis
antibody/antigen complexes in vessel walls, bright pink area, seen in immunological disease e.g. lupus
caseous
friable and white, damages/ dead cells surrounded by inflam border
Cytochrome C
caspase released from mitochondria -.> apopoptosis
Antioxidants
Vits ACE, glutathione
enzymes - catalases, superoxide dismutase, glutathione peroxidase
Action on ROS
lipid peroxidation
oxidative modification proteins
lesions in DNA
Ischaemic reperfusion injury
free radicals from damaged mitochondria
ROS promote MPT pores inhibiting mitochondrial recovery
Inflamation + PMNs cause inc cytokines and adesion molecules
IgM deposition in tissue activating complement
C3b
opsonisation + phagocytosis
C3a and 5a
anaphylatoxins
histamine release
vasc permeability and vasodilation
C5a
chemotaxis - neutrophils, eosinophils, basophils
activates lipoxygenase arachidonic acid pathway
Complement outcome
inflamation (c3a and 5a)
Opsonisation and phagoytosis (C3b)
Cell lysis via MAC (C789)
Complement pathways
Classical - C1 antibody IgG/M
Alternative - C3 via surface molecules
Lectin - C1 mannose binding lectin binds to carb on microbe
Apoptosis
cell gets smaller, contents not leaked, no inflammatory reaction
morpphology - everything tightly packed, chromatin condensation, ytoplasmic blebs and apoptotic bodies
Apoptosis initiation pathways
extrinsic - death receptor TNFalpha binds cytokines
Intrinsic - mitochondrial, inc perm, regulated by BCL2 (antiapoptotic)
Apoptosis execution pathway
mediated caspases
8,9 initiate
3,6 execute
p53
tumour suppressor - cell cycle arrest at G1 / G2 checkpoint regulator
Common locations steatosis
liver, kidney, muscle
foamy appearance with macophages
Appearance protein acumulation
rounded eosinophilic droplets or russell bodies in ER
Glycogen appearance in cells
clear vacuoles in cytoplasm, renal tubular cells in DM
Dystrophic vs metastatic calcification
dystrophic normal Ca level on damaged tissue
Metastatic high Ca, on alkaline tissue kidney, resp gastric
telomere
repetitive nucleotide sequence at end of chromosome preventing degredation
TLRs
in vasc wall and inflam cells
Innate immunity
Recognise microbes
Step of leukocytes in inflamation
margination
rolling
firm adhesions with integrins
diapedesis
stimulated by IL 8
Cell response time
first 24 neutrophils
then moocytes/ macrophages
lymphocytes for viral
eosinophils for hypersensitivity
Professional phagocytes
monocytes, macrophages, neutrophils, eosinophils, dendritic cells, mast cells
