Q

What are the steps of collagen synthesis?

  2. Hydroxylation in ER - requires Vit C
  3. Glycosylation in ER of hydroxylysine and formation of procollagen via hydrogen and disulfide bonds (triple helix of 3 collagen alpha chain)
  4. exocytosis into extracellular space
  5. Cleavage of disulfide rich terminal regions = insoluble tropocollagen
  6. Covalent lysine-hydroxylysine cross linkage making collagen fibrils via Cu containing lysyl oxidase

Q

What are the steps of leukocyte extravasation?

A
  1. Rolling - mediated by selectins which are increased due to inflammatory cytokines. Sialyl-Lewis on leukocytes bind to selectine

  3. Diapedesis: leukocytes travel b/w endothelial cells and exits blood vessels. PECAM-1
  4. MIgration - cells travel through interstitium to site of injury guided by chemotactic signals.
