Ch 2 - Inflammation, Inflammatory Disorders, and Wound Healing Flashcards
ACUTE INFLAMMATION is characterized by
Presence of EDEMA and NEUTROPHILS
Conditions in which ACUTE INFLAMMATION arises
Response to INFECTION to eliminate pathogen and TISSUE NECROSIS to clear necrotic debris
Acute inflammation in MYOCARDIAL INFARCTION
24hrs post-MI there is acute inflammation with NEUTROPHILS to clear necrotic debris –> causes increased WBCs post-MI (mainly neutrophils)
Key HALLMARK 24hrs post-MI
Acute inflammation with NEUTROPHILS
Acute Inflammation: innate vs adaptive immunity
INNATE - immediate response with limited specificity
How do MACROPHAGES recognize GRAM NEGATIVE BACTERIA?
CD14 (a TLR) on MACROPHAGES recognizes LPS (a pathogen assoc molecular pattern - PAMP) on Gram neg bacteriaCD14 (a TLR) on MACROPHAGES recognizes LPS (a pathogen assoc molecular pattern - PAMP) on Gram neg bacteriaCD14 (a TLR) on MACROPHAGES recognizes LPS (a pathogen assoc molecular pattern - PAMP) on Gram neg bacteriaCD14 (a TLR) on MACROPHAGES recognizes LPS (a pathogen assoc molecular pattern - PAMP) on Gram neg bacteriaCD14 (a TLR) on MACROPHAGES recognizes LPS (a pathogen assoc molecular pattern - PAMP) on Gram neg bacteriaCD14 (a TLR) on MACROPHAGES recognizes LPS (a pathogen assoc molecular pattern - PAMP) on Gram neg bacteriaCD14 (a TLR) on MACROPHAGES recognizes LPS (a pathogen assoc molecular pattern - PAMP) on Gram neg bacteriaCD14 (a TLR) on MACROPHAGES recognizes LPS (a pathogen assoc molecular pattern - PAMP) on Gram neg bacteriaCD14 (a TLR) on MACROPHAGES recognizes LPS (a pathogen assoc molecular pattern - PAMP) on Gram neg bacteriaCD14 (a TLR) on MACROPHAGES recognizes LPS (a pathogen assoc molecular pattern - PAMP) on Gram neg bacteria
Result of TLR activation
Upregulation of NF-kB which activates immune response genes –> production of multiple immune mediators
Cells involved in INNATE IMMUNITY
Mast cells, macrophages, neutrophils, eosinophils, basophils, epithelium on body surfaces, mucous secreted by cells, complement system
Cells involved in ADAPTIVE IMMUNITY
lymphocytes, T cells and Ab - very specific target
Arachidonic acid –> PGs
AA released from phospholipid membrane by phospholipase A2 and acted upon by COX –> PGs
Arachidonic acid –> Leukotrienes (LT)
AA released from phospholipid membrane by phospholipase A2 and acted upon by 5-lipoxygenase –> LTs
PGs that mediate VASODILATION and INCREASED VASCULAR PERMEABILITY
PGI2, PGD2, PGE2
Function of PGE2
Mediates PAIN, fEver as well as VASODILATION and INCREASED PERMEABILITY
In inflammation, VASODILATION occurs at the level of:
ARTERIOLE
In inflammation, increased VASCULAR PERMEABILITY occurs at:
POST-CAPILLARY VENULE
Which LEUKOTRIENE ATTRACTS NEUTROPHILS?
LTB4
Chemical Mediators that ATTRACT NEUTROPHILS?
LTB4, C5a, IL-8, Bacterial products
Leukotrienes that MEDIATE VASOCONSTRICTION, BRONCHOSPASM, and INCREASED VASCULAR PERMEABILITY
LTC4, LTD4, LTE4 - cause smooth muscle to contract
SLOW reacting substances of ANAPHYLAXIS
LTC4, LTD4, LTE4 - vasoconstriction, bronchospasm, increased vascular permeability
What ACTIVATES MAST CELLS?
Tissue trauma, C3a & C5a, cross-linking of surface IgE by Ag
IMMEDIATE RESPONSE of MAST cells?
Release of preformed HISTAMINE - mediates VASODILATION (of ARTERIOLES) and INCREASED VASCULAR PERMEABILITY (at post-cap venules)
DELAYED RESPONSE of MAST cells?
Production of AA metabolites - particularly LEUKOTRIENES - maintain acute inflamm
Activation of Complement Pathway
Classical, Alternative Pathway, Mannose-binding lectin pathway - all pathways result in production of C3 CONVERTASE
Activation of CLASSICAL Complement Pathway
GM makes CLASSIC cars - C1 binds IgG or IgM that is bound to Ag
COMPLEMENT proteins that TRIGGER MAST CELL DEGRANULATION
C3a and C5a - anaphylatoxins - result in histamine mediated vasodilation and increased vascular permeability
COMPLEMENT protein that is CHEMOTACTIC for NEUTROPHILS
C5a
COMPLEMENT protein that acts as OPSONIN for phagocytes
C3b (also IgG)
COMPLEMENT proteins that make up MAC?
C5b, C6-9
Function of Membrane Attack Complex
lyses microbes by creating a hole in the cell membrane
What activates HAGEMAN FACTOR (Factor XII)?
inactive proinflamm protein produced in liver that is activated upon exposure to subendothelial or tissue collagen
HAGEMAN FACTOR (Factor XII) activates which processes?
COAGULATION and FIBRINOLYTIC systems –> DIC; complement; Kinin system - produces BRADYKININ (mediates VASODILATION, INCREASED VASCULAR PERMEABILITY, and PAIN)
Which chemical proteins mediate PAIN?
PGE2 and BRADYKININ
Pathophys of GRAM NEGATIVE SEPSIS –> DIC
GRAM NEG organisms have ability to ACTIVATE HAGEMAN FACTOR which activates COAGULATION and FIBRINOLYTIC systems
Primary mediator of REDNESS (rubor) and WARMTH (calor) in inflammation
HISTAMINE; also PGs and bradykinin - vasodilation (relaxation of arteriolar smooth muscle)
Primary mediator of SWELLING (tumor) in inflammation
HISTAMINE; also tissue damage - cause endothelial cell contaction –> leakage of fluid from postcap venule
Primary mediators of PAIN (dolor) in inflammation
BRADYKININ and PGE2 - sensitive nerve endings
Primary mediator of FEVER in inflammation
PGE2 raises temp set point - MACROPHAGES release IL-1 and TNF which increase COX activity in perivascular cells of the HYPOTHALAMUS
Steps of NEUTROPHIL arrival and function
Margination –> Rolling –> Adhesion –> Transmigration and Chemotaxis –> Phagocytosis –> Destruction of phagocytosed material –> Resolution
How do LEUKOCYTES ROLL on Endothelial cells?
P-selectin and E-selectin bind SIALYL LEWIS X on leukocytes
P-SELECTIN
Released from WEIBEL-PALADE bodies - mediated by HISTAMINEReleased from WEIBEL-PALADE bodies - mediated by HISTAMINEReleased from WEIBEL-PALADE bodies - mediated by HISTAMINEReleased from WEIBEL-PALADE bodies - mediated by HISTAMINEReleased from WEIBEL-PALADE bodies - mediated by HISTAMINEReleased from WEIBEL-PALADE bodies - mediated by HISTAMINEReleased from WEIBEL-PALADE bodies - mediated by HISTAMINEReleased from WEIBEL-PALADE bodies - mediated by HISTAMINE

What upregulates INTEGRINS on leukocytes?
C5a and LTB4 (both chemotactic for neutrophils as well)
LEUKOCYTE ADHESION DEFICIENCY (LAD)
AR defect of INTEGRINS (CD 18 subunit)
Clinical Features of Leukocyte Adhesion Deficiency
DELAYED SEPARATION OF UMBILICAL CORD (acute inflamm cannot cross endothelium to clear tissue), INCREASED CIRCULATING NEUTROPHILS (1/2 of body’s neutrophils typically hang out in blood vessels in lungs but with less adhesion –> more circulating), and RECURRENT BACTERIAL INFECTIONS THAT LACK PUS (pus is dead neutrophils in fluid and they can’t cross so no pus)
Where do LEUKOCYTES TRANSMIGRATE across ENDOTHELIUM?
POST-CAPILLARY VENULE
CHEDIAK-HIGASHI SYNDROME
AR Protein Trafficking Defect –> IMPAIRED PHAGOLYSOSOME FORMATION; railroad (microtubules) that lead from phagosome to lysosome is out
Clinical Features of CHEDIAK-HIGASHI Syndrome
Railroad (microtubules) are out –> IMPAIRED PHAGOLYSOSOME formation; INCREASED PYOGENIC INFECTIONS (can’t destroy consumed organisms), NEUTROPENIA, GIANT GRANULES in LEUKOCYTES (accumulation), Defective PRIMARY HEMOSTASIS (abn dense granules in platelets), ALBINISM (can’t transport melanin), PERIPHERAL NEUROPATHY (can’t pass nutients over long distances to end of nerves)
Most Effective Destruction of Phagocytosed material
O2 dependent killing is most effective - HOCl* generated by oxidative burst in phagolysosomes
O2 INDEPENDENT Destruction of Phagocytosed material
Lysozyme in macrophages and major basic protein in eosinophils
What enzyme converts O2 –> O2*-
NADPH oxidase
What enzyme conversts O2*- –> H2O2
SUPEROXIDE DISMUTASE (SOD)
What enzyme converts H2O2 –> HOCl*
MYELOPEROXIDASE (MPO)
CHRONIC GRANULOMATOUS DISEASE (CGD)
Poor O2-dependent killing due to NADPH OXIDASE DEFECT - can’t make HOCl*–> recurrent infection and granuloma formation with CATALASE + organisms in particular STAPH AUREUS and PSEUDOMONAS CEPACIA; also Serratia marcescens, Nocardia and Aspergillus
Pts with CHRONIC GRANULOMATOUS DISEASE are SUSCEPTIBLE to which ORGANISMS?
CATALASE + STAPH AUREUS & PSEUDOMONAS CEPACIA; also Serratia marcescens, Nocardia and Aspergillus
Role of CATALASE in bacterial organisms
Destorys H2O2 and thus prevents HOCl* formation and prevents O2 dependent killing
NITROBLUE TETRAZOLIUM test
Used to screen for CHRONIC GRANULOMATOUS DISEASE (NADPH oxidase deficiency); if leukocytes contain NADPH oxidase they will turn blue but they will remain clear if they do not contain NADPH oxidase
MYELOPEROXIDASE Deficiency
Cannot convert convert H2O2 –> HOCl*; Increased risk for CANDIDA infections; most pts Asx, Nitroblue Tetrazolium test is normal
Pts with MYELOPEROXIDASE Deficiency are susceptible to
CANDIDA infections
