Inflamm Flashcards
What are the 4 cardinals signs of inflammation?
redness
swelling
heat
pain
+/- loss of fct
What are the sensors of cell damage?
- TLR (DAMPs, PAMPs)
- Cytosolic-R = NLR (uric acid = DNA breakdown, ATP = damage mito, reduced K+, DNA)
- Leucocytes express R for Fc tails of AC and for complements = recognize opsonized microbes
- Mannose-binding lectin = recognize microbial sugars = active complement
How is contraction of endothelial cells elicited?
By histamine, bradykinin, leukotriene
15-30 min = transitoire
How do leucocytes get out of vessels?
- Paracellular transport 2n retraction of endo cells (histamine, NO)
- Transcytosis in venules upregulated by VEGF = important to cross blood-brain-barrier
- Endothelial injury
What is the immediate transient response in acute inflammation? mediation?
Contraction of endothelial cells that increase permeability
Mediated by histamine (pre-formed really to be released at any time)
The cytoskeletal reorganisation permitting transcellular leakage is mediated by :
IL1, IL6, TNFa
Steps involved in margination of leucocytes
- Microbes in tissue
- Tissue resident macrophages bind PAMPs/DAMPs -> release IL1, IL6, TNFs -> activate endothelial cells
- Activated endothelial cells upregulate preformed P-selectin (later E- L-selectin) = ROLLING
- Selectins binds glycosylated molecules (PSGL-1, Sialyl-Lewis X) for transient low affinity binding -> Hausse affinity for integrins
- Integrin high affinity state (ICAM-1) = stable adhesion
- Migration through endothelium via CD31 (PECAM-1)
Where are P-selectin stored?
Exists preformed in Weibel-Palade body
What binds to L-selectin?
Receptor for leucocytes extravasation
1. GlyCAM-1 = high endothelial venules in lymphoid tissue
only binds selectin
2. MadCAM = expressed on MALT in TGI
also binds integrins (VLA4, a4B7)
3. CD34 = endothelial cells
The expression of selectin is mediated by
TNF, IL1, chemokine
Histamine, thrombin stimulate P-selectin
Molecules involved in migration
CD31, PECAM1
How do leucocytes pierce basement membrane?
By secreting collagenase
What are exogenous chemoattractants?
Bacterial producst = peptide with N-terminal, aa, lipids
What are endogenous chemoattractants?
Cytokine = IL8
Complement = C5a
Arachidonic acid (AA) metabolits = leukotriene B4
What allows leucocytes to move following binding of chemotactic agents to GPCR?
extension of flipodia
actin = leading edge
myosine = back of leucocytes
Steps of phagocytosis
- recognition
- engulfment
- killing and degradation
Properties of neutrophils
1. Origin
2. lifespan in tissue
3. response
4. ROS
5. NO
6. Degranulation
7. Cytokine production
8. NET
9. Enzymes lysosomal
- Origin = HSC in bone marrow
- lifespan in tissue = days
- response = short, fast
- ROS = rapidly induced by phagocyte oxidase
- NO = low or none
- Degranulation = major
- Cytokine production = low or none
- NET = rapide
- Enzymes lysosomal =prominent
Properties of macrophages
1. Origin = HSC in bone marrow, tissue-resident
2. lifespan in tissue = BM = days or week, tissue-resident = years
3. response = prolonged, slower
4. ROS = less prominent
5. NO = induced after transcriptional activation of iNOS
6. Degranulation = not prominent
7. Cytokine production = major
8. NET = no
9. Enzymes lysosomal = less
- Origin
- lifespan in tissue
- response
- ROS
- NO
- Degranulation
- Cytokine production
- NET
- Enzymes lysosomal
Elements allowing destruction of microbes in phagocytes
O2, H2O2 + azurophilic granules(MPO) -> HOCl = halogenation (hyalide bound) or oxidation (lipids peroxydation)
In macrophage, NO interacts with O2 = ONOO-
Neutrophils granules
Small = lysozyme, collagenase, gelatinase, lactoferrin, plasminogen activator, histaminase, alkaline phosphatase
Larger azurophil = MPO, defensin, acid hydrolase, neutral protease
Macrophages content
acid hydrolase
collagenase
elastase
phospholipase
plasminogen activator
Action of a1-antitrypsin on neutrophils
major inhibitor of neutrophils elastase
NET formation
ROS-dependant activation of arginine deaminase converts arginine to citrulline = chromatin decondensation
What is frustrated phagocytosis?
inability to ingest (immune complex deposit on large surface) = triggers activation/release of lysosomal enzyme EC
How do LT contribute to acute inflammation?
produce IL17 inducinf secretion of chemokines to recruit leucocytes
What are the termination mechanisms of acute inflammation?
Termination begins by switching the type of AA metabolite to antiinflammatory lipoxins = liberation of antiinflamm cytokines TGFB and IL10
Principal mediators of inflammation source and action :
1. Histamine
2. Prostaglandine
3. Leukotriene
4. Cytokines (TNF, IL1, IL6)
5. Chemokines
6. PAF
7. Complement
8. Kinins
