IHL I - Cytokines/Chemokines of Innate Immunity Flashcards
adaptive immunity
highly specific defense
**failure of this system can result in autoimmune disease
innate immunity
protective barriers
cytotoxic molecules
phagocytic cells
cytokines
peptides
chemical signals responding to environmental signal
involved in immune response
general properties of cytokines?
rapid secretion
self-limited secretion
redundant
pleiotrophic
activate and influence eachother
receptor-specific activation
feedback inhibited
type I cytokine receptor
hemopoietin receptors (EPO and TPO)
jak-stat
type II cytokine receptors
Jak-stat
IL-1 family receptors
toll-like / IL-1 receptor
TNF receptors
may induce apoptosis
Seven transmembrane alpha-helical receptors
GPCRs
three categories of cytokines
mediators of innate immunity
mediators of adaptive immunity
mediators of hematopoiesis
TNF
tumor necrosis factor
acute inflammatory response to gram-negative bacteria
recruit neutrophils and monocytes
- induces expression of selectin and chemokines - stimulates mononuclear phagocytes to produce IL-1 - stimulates microbicidal action of neutrophils and macrophages
IL-1
secreted by mononuclear IL-1
induced by TNF
selectin
exposed on endothelial cells
E and P
L selectins - on leukocytes
diapedesis
aka extravasation
movement of leukocytes into the inflamed tissue
monocytes
excreted and circulate in blood stream
will mature to macrophages in the tissue
negative affect of TNF?
can cause systemic complications
-septic shock
if in large quantities in the blood stream
effect of TNF in hypothalamus?
stimulates endogenous pyrogen
induces fever
**stimulates prostaglandin synthesis - inhibited by aspirin
