Inflammation And Repair Flashcards
What accumulates in interstitial space during acute inflammation
Neutrophils and edematous fluid
Present on macrophages qnd dendritic cells which recognize pathogen associated molecular patterns and lets body know there is infection
Toll like receptors
Toll like receptor on macrophage which recognizes lipopolysaccharide on gram neg bacteria
CD14
Key protein upregulated when toll like receptors are activated and turns on inflammatory response
NF kappa B
Inflammatory mediator released from cell membrane by phospholipase A2
Arachidonic acid
Product of cyclooxygenase pathway from arachidonic acid
Prostaglandin
PGI2, PGD2 and PGE2 mediates which actions
Vasodilation pf arterioles, increased vascular permeabity of post capillary venule
Prostaglandin which mediates fever and pain
PGE2
Product of lipooxygenase pathway from arachidonic acids
Leukotrienes
Leukotriene which attracts and activates neutrophils
LTB4
Four substances which attracts and activates neutrophils
Ltb4
C5a
IL8
Bacterial products
Leukotrienes which mediate vasoconstriction, bronchospasm, and increased vascular permeabity
(Smooth muscle contraction)
LTC4, LTD4, LTE4
Three ways mast cells can be activated
Tissue trauma
C3a and C5a
Cross linking of IgE by antigen
Histamine granules mediate?
Vasodilation of arterioles, increased vascular permeabity
What is the delayed response of mast cells?
Release of leukotrienes to allow continuation of inflammatory responser
Proinflammatory serum proteins which circulate as inactive precursors
Complement
Three mechanisms of complement activation
Classical pathway - C1 binds to IgG or IgM bound to antigen
Alternative pathway - Microbial products directly activate
Mannose-binding lectin pathway - MBL binds mannose on microorganisms and activates complement
Pathway to formation of membrane attack complex from complement activation
C3 convertase generated converts C3 to C3a and C3b
C3b helps produce C5 convertase to convert C5 to C5a and C5b
C5b produces C6-C9 which is part of membrane attack complex
Complement which is chemotactic for neutrophils
C5a
Complement which trigger mast cell degranulation
C3a and C5a
