Lecture 4: Inflammation Flashcards
__ is the process of reaction of living vascularized tissue to injury
inflammation
Sometimes inflammation can induce tissue damage but normally it is beneficial in what 2 ways
destroys invaders and prepares injured tissue for repair
3 main events of blood vessels during inflammation
- increased blood flow
- increased vascular permeability
- leukocytic exudation through vessels
2 types of repair
regeneration and scarring/fibrosis
__ is the replacement by cells of the same type and __ is the replacement by c.t.
regeneration, scarring/fibrosis
5 signs of acute inflammation
- rubor (redness)
- tumor (swelling)
- calor (heat)
- dolor (pain)
- loss of function (functio laesa)
the calor/heat is due to the release of mediators __ and __
IL1 and prostaglandin
what causes the rubor/redness of inflammation
hyperemia
what causes the tumor/swelling during inflammation
increased vascular permeability
what causes the dolor/pain during inflammation
stimulation of free nerve endings
What regulates the process of inflammation
chemical mediators
3 mediators of inflammation from PLASMA
- kinins; bradykinin
- complement fragments: C5a
- coagulation/fibrinolytic products
4 mediators of inflammation from TISSUE/CELLS
- Vasoactive amines: histamine, serotonin
- prostaglnadins and leukotrienes: PGE2 and LTB4
- Cytokines/chemokines: TNFalpha, IL1, IL8, MIP1
- nitric oxide
3 steps to leukocytes exiting a BV
- Margination
- adhesion and migration
- chemotaxis and activation
What initially happens to blood vessel after damage occurs
transient vasoconstriction (neurally mediated, lasts only seconds)
Post injury, After neural vasoconstriction of BV that last only a few seconds what happens next?
chemical mediated vasodilation that lasts minutes to days
chemical mediators of vasodilation
PGE2, Histamine, NO
5 mechanisms to increased vascular permeability
- endothelial contraction (histamine)
- direct endothelial injury (burn)
- leukocyte-endothelial injury
- increased transcytosis
- endothelial prolif and leak
__ is the most common way permeability is increased
endothelial contraction
edothelial cells contract when stimulated by histamine and leukotrienes causing __in venules = increased perm
gaps
__ is mostly in venules and pulmonary capillaries, it is a late response and is long-lived 9hours)
leukocyte-dependent injuy
transcytosis increasing vascular perm is caused by
VEGF (vascular endothelial derived growth factor)
describe the 4 steps in leukocyte migration
- margination
- rolling
- adhesion
- transmigration
leukocytic events during acute inflammation occur in
venules and capillaries
Leukocyte margination and rolling is mediated by expresson of __ on endothelial cells and ___ on leukocyte
selectin (E and P), sialyl-lewis X modified glycoprotein
mediators like __ and __ upregulate expression of e-selecting and activate leukocytes to express high affinity integrins (LFA or MAC)
TNF alpha and IL1
important factors involved in leukocytic margination and rolling
- selectins
- sialyl-lewis X mod glycoprotein
- TNF alpha
- IL1
leukocyte adhesion is mediated by
adhesion molecules
endothelial cell adhesion molecules
ICAM1 and VCAM1 (Ig superfamily proteins)
leukocyte integrins that allow for adhesion to ICAM and VCAM
LFA-1 (CD11a/CD18)
Mac-1 (CD11b/CD18)
VLA4
(Heterodimeric proteins)
cytokines like __ and __ and chemokines like __ upregulate high-affinity integrin expression on leukocytes
TNF alpha, IL1, IL8
What mediates leukocyte transmigration?
PECAM1 (CD31) (homophilic adhesion molecule)
