Lecture 04 - Inflammation Flashcards
Inflammation - General Characteristics
reaction of a vascular system to a destructive factor
good unless becomes chronic or excessive
Inflammation - Inducers
- infection
- cell death
- tumor
- chemical/physical injury
- foreign objects
- immunologic injury
Chronic Inflammation Characteristics
- slow
- lymphocytes, macrophages
- often sever and progressive tissue injury
- subtle local and systemic signs
Acute Inflammation Characteristics
- fast
- neutrophils
- mild, self-limited tissue injury
- prominent local and systemic injury
Inflammation Effective Factors
- WBCs
- Plasma proteins
- Endothelium
- intercellular matrix elements
- CT cells: mast cells, fibroblasts, macrophages
Inflammation Process
- recognition
- recruitment
- removal
- resolution
- Recognition
recognition of destructive agent from self cells by TLRs
- Extracellular domain: a head full of lucine aa.
- Intracellular domain: Toll Interleukin I Receptor (TIR)
- Transmembrane domain
elements
PAMPs
PAMPs
- liposacharides: g- bacteria
- peptidoglicans: g+ bacteria
- viral nucleic acids
TLRs
TLR1,2: bacterial parasites TLR2,6: g+ bacteria and fungi TLR4: g- bacteria TLR5: flagellated bacteria TLR3: viral dsRNA TLR7,8: viral ssRNA TLR9: bacterial DNA PRP --> connection to PAMP
Inflammazon
like TLR activated by: Ca Free radicals Urate Cholesterol
- Recruitment
WBCs migration: Phase 1: vascular changes (hemodynamic) - vessels dilation - increased vascular permeability Phase 2: cellular migration - transuade --> exudate
Transudate
fluid with low protein, in 1.012 gravity, as a result of imbalance between osmotic and hydrostatic pressures
Exudate
inflammatory extravascular fluid with high protein, cellular debris, in 1.020 gravity
Vascular Permeability Change Mechanisms
- contraction of endothelium cells –> histamine, bradykinin, leukotriene –> 15-20 mins
- damage to endothelium cells –> pyogens, chemicals, buned flesh, … –> immediate and long
- increased transcytosis –> VEGF –> increased phagocytosis/macrocytosis and pinocytosis –> mostly in venules
Inflammatory Responses
- immediate and short
- histamine - immediate and prolonged
- direct endothelial injury - delayed and prolonged
- UV injury
