Lecture 1: Cell injury Flashcards
Which of the following is considered an unselective injury: necrosis or apoptosis
Necrosis
Which of the following is considered a selective injury: necrosis or apoptosis
Apoptosis
What are the 4 categories of causes of cell injury
- Deficiency in critical material
- Lack of cellular energy production
- Accumulation of abnormal substances
- Physical injury
What is ischemia
Inadequate blood supply to an organ or part of the body
List some of the events that occur in reversible cell injuries
- Decrease oxidative phosphorylation
- Decrease ATP and increase glycolysis
- Disrupt ion pumps: decrease Na/K ATPase—> increase Na+ intracellularly
- Influx H20
- Decrease protein synthesis
- Chromatin dysfunction
List some of the morphological changes in reversible cell injury
Cell swelling, ER swelling, loss of Microvilli, blebs, clumped chromatin, lipid accumulation
List some of the events that occur in irreversible cell injury
- Mitochondrial dysfunction
- Produce ROS
- Release lysozymes
What are some causes of cell injury due to oxygen deprivation
Anemia, vascular obstruction, cardiac failure
Describes the steps of cell injury to irreversible injury from oxygen deprivation
- Hypoxia
- Aerobic metabolism stops
- Decrease oxidative phosphorylation
- Decrease ATP—> disrupt Na+/K+ pump—> increase Na+ intracellular, influx H20
- Anaerobic cell metabolism starts
- Intracellular acidosis
- Protein synthesis decreases
- Ribosomes lost
- Cell membrane defects
- Lysosome rupture- release RNAases, and DNAases—> digest cell
- Rupture and cell death
Do cells have the ability to regenerate with large numbers of deaths
No- replace gap with fibrous CT
What is hydropic degeneration
Water movement into cells- causing acute swelling
What is the pathogens is of hydropic degeneration
- Cell injury (hypoxia)
- Decrease mitochondrial fx
- Cell membrane damage
- Interfere with ion channels
- Disrupt Na/k+ pump—> increase Na+ intracellularly—> influx h20
- Mitochondria and ER swelling
- Hydropic degeneration
Is hydropic degeneration reversible or irreversible
Reversible
What bovine disease caused by parapoxivrus can result in ballooning degeneration/hydropic degeneration
Bovine papular stomatitis
What is the gross change noted in hydropic degeneration
Swelling of tissue
What is the microscopic change in hydropic degeneration
Single or multiple cytoplasmic vacuoles
Image shows bovine papular stomatitis: what cellular injury can be seen in this image
Hydropic degeneration
What is the pathogensis of hepatic lipodosis
- Excessive FFA from fat stores or diet
- Decrease oxidation or use of FA
- Impaired apoprotein synthesis
- Impaired protein and triglyceride synthesis to form lipoprotein
- Accumulation of lipoprotein in hepatocytes
The following is an image of a cat liver: what does this show
Hepatic lipidosis
How can ketosis and pregnancy toxemia lead to hepatic lipidosis
Excess fat stores and drive for increased mobilization in late pregnancy and early lactation
How can inappetance and anorexia lead to hepatic lipidosis
Both will drive fat mobilization
What are some common causes of hepatic lipidosis
High fat diets, obesity, hepatotoxins, hypoxia, DM, hypothyroidism
How does the gross color and texture of a liver differ from lipid accumulation vs glycogen accumulation
Lipid: pale, yellow friable
Glycogen: pale-tan- white, firm
How does the histology of a liver differ from lipid vs glycogen accumulation
Lipid: nuclei pushed to periphery, vacuoles have distinct borders
Glycogen: nuclei stay central, vacuoles have no distinct borders
