Inflammation Flashcards
Which tight junction receptor prevents reverse transmigration of activated leukocytes back into a blood vessel?
JAM-C
4 actions of bradykinin as it relates to acute inflammation
Vasodilation, increased vascular permeability, smooth muscle contraction, pain
All leukotrienes increase vascular permeability, which one also causes vasodilation and is chemotactic for neutrophils and which one is which one causes smooth muscle contraction?
LTB4 is chemotactic
LTD4 causes smooth muscle contraction
Two actions of histamine?
vasodilation and increased vascular permeability
What effect do fibrinopeptides and FDPs have on the vasculature?
increase vascular permeability
Three big actions of PGE2 as it relates to inflammation?
Increased vascular permeability, fever, pain
4 main actions of IL1 and TNF as it relates to inflammation?
increase vascular permeability, chemotaxis, nausea, fever
Which is the main prostaglandin that causes inflammation?
PGD2
Two main actions of PAF as it relates to acute inflammation?
increases vascular permeability and causes smooth muscle contraction
C3a and C5a are anaphylotoxins - which one also causes smooth muscle contraction and which one causes leuokocyte chemotaxis?
C3a causes smooth muscle contraction, C5a causes leukocyte chemotaxis
Method by which albumin, LDLs, MMPs, and insulin enter the cell?
Transcytosis
Method by which water and ions enter the cell?
Paracellular passage
retraction of endothelial cells during acute inflammation occurs in which types of vessels?
venules
which factors mediate retraction of endothelial cells during acute inflammation?
histamine and NO
In which vessels does increased transcytosis occur during acute inflammation and what mediates it
Venules - VEGF
increased permeability due to cytoskeletal reorganization occurs in which vessels and is mediated by what?
postcapillary venules/some capillaries, mediated by IL-1, TNF, hypoxia
5 steps of leukocyte adhesion cascade in order
Margination, rolling, activation, stable adhesion, transmigration
mediator of rolling adhesion
Selectins
P-selectin is stored in which platelet granules?
Weibel palade bodies - alpha granules
receptors for selectins?
Sialyl-Lewis
Activators of neutrophils during the leukocyte adhesion cascade (7 things)
IL-1, TNF, IL-6, PAF, PDGF, C5a, IL-8
role of ADAM17 during the leukocyte adhesion cascade?
cleaves L-selectin from neutrophils so they can express integrins for stable adhesion
ESL, PSGL-1 are receptors involved in which phase of the leukocyte adhesion cascade?
Rolling
PECAM-1 (CD31) is involved in which stage of the leukocyte adhesion cascade?
transmigration
