Inflammation and Repair, TBP Flashcards
Protective response to rid the body of the cause of cell injury its resultant necrotic cells
Inflammation
Process by which WBCs are drawn to the area where they are needed
Chemotaxis
Acute vs chronic inflammation: Tissue repair coexists with tissue destruction
Chronic
Acute inflammation: Stages (3)
1) Vasodilation (after a transient vasoconstriction)
2) Increased vascular permeability
3) Movement of WBCs from blood vessels into soft tissue at site of inflammation
Acute inflammation: Purpose of vasodilation (2)
1) Increases hydrostatic pressure
2) Facilitates margination of leukocytes
Acute inflammation: Mediators of increased vascular permeability (5)
1) Histamine
2) LTC4, D4, E4
3) Bradykinin
4) TNF
5) IL-1
Acute inflammation: Purpose of increased vascular permeability
Increase protein levels in interstitial tissue
Mechanisms of increase in vascular permeability (2)
1) Physiologic
2) Pathologic
Mechanisms of increase in vascular permeability: Physiologic (2)
1) Endothelial contraction
2) Endothelial retraction
Mechanisms of increase in vascular permeability: Referred to as immediate-transient response
Endothelial contraction
Endothelial contraction: Mediators (3)
1) Histamine
2) Bradykinin
3) Leukotrienes
Endothelial contraction: Vessels affected
Postcapillary venules
Endothelial contraction: Time course
Immediate and short-lived (up to 30 minutes)
Endothelial retraction: Mediators
1) TNF
2) IL-1
Endothelial retraction: How
Structural rearrangement of cytoskeleton
Endothelial retraction: Time course
4-6 hours hence referred to as delayed response, long-lived
Direct endothelial injury: Mediators
Bacterial enzymes
Direct endothelial injury: Vessels affected
All
Direct endothelial injury: How
Endothelial cell necrosis
Direct endothelial injury: Time course
Immediate hence referred to as immediate-sustained response
Mechanisms of increase in vascular permeability: Due to UV, x-ray, and mild thermal injury
Delayed prolonged response
Movement of WBCs from vessels to soft tissue: Steps
1) Rolling
2) Pavementing
3) Transmigration
Movement of WBCs from vessels to soft tissue: Loose, intermittent contact of WBCs with endothelium, partially due to margination of WBCs from stasis of blood
Rolling
Rolling: Mediator
1) Sialyl-Lewis X on WBCs
2) E-selectins on endothelial cells
Movement of WBCs from vessels to soft tissue: Tight, constant contact of WBCs with endothelium
Pavementing
Pavementing: Mediators
1) LFA-1 and MAC-1 on WBCs
2) ICAM-1 and VCAM-1 on endothelial cells
Movement of WBCs from vessels to soft tissue: WBCs crossing through endothelial layer
Transmigration
Transmigration: Mediators
CD31 or PECAM on both WBCs and endothelial cells
Chemotaxis: Exogenous mediators
Bacterial polysaccharides
Chemotaxis: Mechanism utilised by most endogenous mediators
Activation of G protein-activation of GTPases-Polymerization of actin
Opsonins: Recognized by Fc receptor on WBCs
IgG
Opsonins: REcognized bt C1q on leukocytes
Collectins
Methods of killing and/or degradation of foreign substances: Uses 2 O2 molecules to produce superoxide which is converted to H2O2
Reduced NADPH oxidase
Methods of killing and/or degradation of foreign substances: Converts H2O2 and halogen to HOCl causing halogenation or lipid peroxidation
Myeloperoxidase
Impaired inflammatory response: Loss of NADPH oxidase system
Chronic granulomatous disease
CGD: Components of NADPH oxidase system
1) Membrane
2) Cytoplasmic
CGD: Forms
1) Autosomal recessive
2) X-linked
CGD: Form that results in defective CYTOPLASMIC component
Autosomal recessive
CGD: Form that results in defective MEMBRANE component
X-linked
CGD: Effect of mutation
Inability to form H2O2
CGD: Particular organisms that cause infection
Catalase-producing
Impaired inflammatory response: Decreased cellular killing of bacteria due to reduced transfer of lysosomal enzymes to phagocytic vesicles
Chediak-Higashi syndrome
Chediak-Higashi: Autosomal vs X-linked
Autosomal recessive
