Inflammation 2 Flashcards
vascular changes associated with acute inflammation
vasodilation - increased blood flow
increased vascular permeability - interstital fluid and proteins
steps of leukocyte recruitment
- margination
- rolling
- adhesion
- transmigration
leukocyte activation
- phagocytosis
- dectruction of phagocytosed material
end result of leukocyte recruitment & activation
resolution/scarring/chronic inflammation
leukocyte rolling
Sialyl-Lewis X oligosaccharide
E-selectin (CD62E) on endothelial cells are induced by what
TNF and IL-1
P-selecting (CD62P) are on what type of cell
endothelial cells and platelets
P-selectin (CD62P) release is mediated by
histamine
integrin adhesion transmembrane glycoproteins are induced by
LTB4 and C5a
name the cellular adhesion molecules on endothelial cells
ICAM
VCAM
increased integrin affinity and increased expression of integrin ligands (CAMS) lead to what type of adhesion
stable adhesion
function of diapedeis
squeeze between cells at intracellular junctions
what is chemotaxis
movement toward chemical gradient (LTB4, C5a, IL-8 and bacterial products)
leukocytes secrete
collagenases
CD31 (PECAM-1) are found on what cell types
- endothelial cells
- leukocytes
function of CD31
mediates binding
what are the 3 steps of phagocytosis
- recognition and attachment of particle to ingesting leukocyte
- engulfment, with subsequent formation of phagocytic vacuole
- killing and degradation of ingested material
what are the opsonins of phagocytosis
IgG
C3b
what are the leukocyte receptors of phagocytosis
Fc receptor
complement receptors CR1 and CR3
how does engulfment occur during phagocytosis
pseudopods extend around object forming phagocytic vacuole
how does phagocytosis kill, degrade and injest material
- fusion of phagocytic vacuole with lysosome (phagolysosome)
- lysosomal enzymes
- production of reactive oxygen species
what is the goal of reactive oxygen species
kill microbe with HOCl
what is the resolution of acute inflammation
- injurious stimulus cleared
- mediators and acute inflammatory cells clear
- neutrophils undergo apoptosis
- replacement of injured cells
what are the negative outcomes of acute inflammation
- scarring
- chronic inflammation
scarring (fibrosis) of acute inflammation caused by
- extensive tissue was damaged
- injured tissue filled in with connective tissue
chronic inflammation results from acute inflammation when
injured stimulus NOT cleared
what are the 3 defects in Leukocyte Function
- leukocyte adhesion deficiency
- chronic granulomatous disease (CGD)
- Chediak-Higashi syndrome
leukocyte adhesion deficieny is defective in what
LAD1 - defective CD18 beta subunit of integrin
LAD2 - absence of sialyl-Lewis X due to defect in fucose metabolism
result of leukocyte adhesion deficiency
- impaired adhesion of neutrophils to endothelium and thus impaired acute inflammatory response
- recurrent bacterial infections which lack neutrophls in tissue
- increased circulating neutrophils
- when baby is born, umbilical cord will take longer to separate
what is chronic granulomatous disease (CGD)
a defect in the oxidative burst due to a mutation in NADPH oxidase complex
patients with chronic granulomatous disease are suscpetible to what
catalase positive organisms, which eliminate the HOCl
what test is performed to confirm chronic granulomatous disease
nitroblue tetrazolium test - no dye in CGD
what is Chediak-Higashi syndrome
- disorder in the trafficking of organelles
- impaired funsion of phagosome with lysosomes
what is observed with Chediak-Higashi Syndrome
- giant granules in leukocytes (granules from Golfi do not distribute properly in cytoplasm)
- increased death of neutrophils in bone marrow (neutropenia)
- secretion of lytic secretory granules in T-cells is affected
