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
