Inflammation repair Flashcards
acute inflammation
- rapid onset
- short duration (few minutes to days)
- fluid and plasma protein exudation
- predominantly neutrophilic leukocyte accumulation
chronic inflammation
- more insidious
- longer duration (days to years)
- influx of lymphocytes and macrophages
- vascular proliferation and fibrosis (scarring)
circulating inflammatory cells
neutrophils lymphocytes monocytes eosinophils basophils
extravascular inflammatory cells
macrophages
mast cells
dendritic cells
cardinal signs of inflammation?
heat redness swelling pain loss of funcion
calor= rubor= tumor= dolor= functio laesa=
heat redness swelling pain loss of funcion
transudate
- ultrafiltrate of blood plasma
- low protein conent
- results from hydrostatic alterations across the vascular endothelium
- permeability of the endothelium is normal
- may accumulate in various non-inflammatory conditions
exudate
- protein rich fluid and cellular debris
- result of increased vascular permeability
- typical of inflammation
mechanisms of increased vascular permeability
1) endotheliall cell retraction
- -immediate Transient response
- -caused by chemical mediators (histamine, bradykinin, leukotrienes)
2) endothelial injury
- -immediate sustained response
3) increased transcytosis
- -mediated by vascular-endothelial growth factor (VEGF)
4) leakage from new blood vessels
- -angiogenesis during wound healing
BV + fibroblasts= _____ tissue
granulation tissue
leukocyte recruitment
- margination
- rolling (SELECTIN family of adhesion molecules)
- adhesion (integrins on leukocytes)
- transmigration (chmokines and CD31)
- chemotaxis
leukocyte activation
- phagocytosis
- killing and degradation of microbes
another term for transmigration?
diapedesis
complement component C5a and lipoxygenase pathway of AA metabolism (LTB) are ______ agents
chemotaxic
when does neutrophils predominate over monocytes in inflammation response? which one survives longer?
neutrophils predominate in first 24 hours!
**monocytes survive longer
3 steps of phagocytosis
1) recognition and attachment
2) engulfment and formation of phagocytic vacuole
3) killing and degradation
what do opsonins do?
host proteins that coat microbes and target them for phagocytosis (by a process called opsonization)
important opsonins
- IgG antibodies
- breakdown products of complement protein C3
- collectins
leukocyte receptors
- Fc receptor for IgG
- complement receptors (CR 1 and 3)
- C1q receptors for collectins
myeloperoxidase
an enzyme contained in neutrophile lysosomes
*converts H2O2 to HOCl (powerful antimicrobial agant and oxidant)
dead microorganisms are degraded by _______
lysosomal acid hydrolases (elastase)
besides lysosomal acid hydrolases, what are other antimicrobials in leukocyte granules?
- bactericidal permeability-increasing protein
- lysozyme
- major basci protein
- defensins (create holes in membranes)
phagocytic mechanisms are primarily confined to ________. but what about leukocytes?
phagolysosome
* but leukocytes may secrete enzymes and antimicrobial peptides into the extracellular space
neutrophil extracellular traps
- nuclear chromatin + granule protein
- detected in blood neutrophils during sepsis
- fibrilar networks produced in response to infectious pathogens
contents of lysosomal granules released in ECM?
- regurgitation = vacule open to outside
- frustrated phagocytosis =substances not easily ingested
LAD-1 vs LAD-2 defects in eukocyte adhesion
LAD-1 =defective syntehsis of CD18 B subunit of LFA-1 and Mac-1= IMPAIRED ADHESION
LAD-2 =defect in fucose metabolism- absence of sialyl-Lewis X (polysac surface of WBCs)
chronic granulomatous disease
results from deficiency in a component of the phagocyte oxidase— no ROS
Chediak-Higashi Syndrome autosomal recessive disease
- impaired fusion of lysosomes with phagosomes
- secretion of lytic secretory granules by cytotoxic T-lymphocytes
- severe immunodeficiency
