Lcture 1 Flashcards
What is normal homeostasis?
The balance of proliferation and apoptosis
When there is an injury to a tissue
What are the four stages of wound healing?
- Hemostasis
2.inflmmaory - Proliferating
- Remodelling
What happens during hemstasis?
Blood clot
What happens duringinflammatory?
A sca is formed
There are fibroblasts and macrophages present
What happens during proliferation?
Fibroblasts begin to proliferate and subcutaneous fat is present
What happens during remodelling?
Freshly healed epidermis
Freshly healed dermis
Tissu repair drama?
Proliferation and migration of different cells: the actors
Laying down of extracellular matrix: the setting
Growth factors: means of communication
Remoddlelling of collagen to form scar
How does receptor mediated cell signalling work?
Ligand from the sending cell binds to receptor and target cell and initiates a response
What cells are labile?
Stem cells
Skin epithelium
Salivary gland
GI epithelium
What cells are stable? Quiescent
Fibroblasts
Endothelial cells
Smooth muscle cells
Lymphocytes
What cells are permanent? Nondividing
Cardiac muscle cells
Skeletal muscle cells
Growth factors- specialised proteins act as?
Ligands
What does the transforming growth factor beta do?
The most critical in tissue repair. They proliferate and stimulate fibroblasts to secrete collagen. Repair fibrous connective tissue at the injury site.
What does PDGF do? Platelet driven growth factor
It calls neutrophils, macrophages and fibroblasts to the injury site. Aids in wound contraction
What do FGF do? Fibroblast growth factor
Initiate the migration of epithelial cells, aid in wound contraction and stimulates angiogenesis (forming new blood vessels)
What does vascular endothelial growth factor do?VEGFF
Angiogenesis
What does epithelial growth factor and hepatocyte growth factor do?
Stimulate epithelial and hepatocyte proliferation and enhances epithelial cell migration
What is present in the interstitial matrix?
Collagen,elastin, fibronectin, proteoglycans and hyaluronan
What is present in the basement membrane?
Nonfibrillar collagen, laminin and proteoglycans
What is the extra cellular matrix made up of?
Interstitial matrix and the basement membrane
What is the structural properties of the ECM
Firmness to bone (collagen and elastin)
What is the resilient properties of the ECM?
Imparting resilience to soft tissues (proteoglycans and hyaluronan)
What are the adhesive properties of the ECM?
Stores and presents growth factors, such as scaffolds, facilitates cell growth (integrins, fibronectins and laminin)
