IBD DR. J Flashcards
In IBD what two factors are involved to cause a chronic state of dysregulated mucosal immune function?
- Exogenous
- Endogenous
Transmural inflammation of any part of the GI Tract.
Crohn’s disease
Confluent mucosal inflammation of the colon starting at the anal verge and extending proximal for a viable extent
Ulcerative colitis
Which disease can affect any part of the GI tract from the mouth to the anus?
CD
What part of the GI Tract is often spared in CD?
Rectum
Which disease is limited to the mucosa and superficial submucosa, with the deeper layers unaffected except in fulminant disease?
UC
What cells reside at the base of the crypts and give rise to all absorptive and secretory cells making up the epithelial layer?
Intestinal stem cells
Cells that produce the mucus layer
Goblet cells
Cells that produce antimicrobial peptides
Paneth cells
Cells that synthesize IgA which prevents invasion by pathogenic organisms and helps to maintain a homeostatic balance
Plasma cells
_____ cells and innate immune cells detect micro iota using pattern recognition receptors
Epithelial
Commensals in IBD are recognized as what?
Pathogenic
TNF alpha and INF gamma are ___inflammatory with ____ effects on barrier function
Pro; negative
CD1d, RIPK1 and IL-10 are ____inflammatory with ______ effects.
Anti; protective
The CD the cytokine profile is representative of what mediated inflammatory response?
T-helper1 (TH1)
The UC inflammatory response is mediated by what pathway?
TH2 pathway
What is the TH2 pathway mostly under control of?
IL-4
TNF alpha exists in a _____
Stable homotrimer
Both ___+_____ TNF can perform their biological function by binding to their receptors
Membrane; soluble
What does TNF trigger?
Apoptosis and breaks epithelial barrier
