Inflammation and Wound Healing Flashcards
Characterizes acute inflammation
edema and neutrophils
CD14
on macrophages, recognize lipopolysaccarides (a PAMP) on outer membrane
TLR activation results in upregulation of:
NF-kB, nuclear transcription factor that activates immune response
Arachidonic acid metabolites
cyclooxygenase or 5-lipooxygenase
Cyclooxygenase produces this:
PGs
5-Lipoxygenase produces this:
Leukotrienes (LTs)
Activates neutrophils
LTB4
Leukotrienes
Delayed response
LTC4, D4, and E4 cause vasoconstriction, bronchospasm, and increased perm
4 key products that activate neutrophils
LTB4, IL-8, C5a, bacteria products
C3a and C5a
anaphylatoxins, trigger mast cell degranulations (histamine)
Cardinal sign of inflammation
redness (palor), warmth (calor)
Swelling: leakage of fluid from:
postcapillary venules
Pain mediators
Bradykinin, PGE2, sensitize nerve endings
Fever
Pyrogens cause macrophages to release IL-1 and TNF, increase COX in perivascular cells, increase PGE2
Steps of Neutrophils
Margination, Rolling, Adhesion, Transmigration and Chemotaxis, Phagocytosis, Destruction of shit
