Neutrophil and monocyte extravasation in terms of molecule binding

A
  • Cytokines bind to receptors on endothelial cells, causing an increase in CAMs and selectins
  • Increased selectins on allows for binding of neutrophils/monocytes via musin-like CAM.

A

Lymphocytes recirculate from the blood to the bone marrow, spleen, lymph nodes and tertiary extralymphoid tissue at least once every 24 hours

41
Q

Why is it important that lymphocytes recirculate?

A

Recirculation ensures that the greatest number of antigen-specific lymphocytes have the opportunity to encounter and interact with antigen in lymphoid tissue.

42
Q

Migration of lymphocytes into lymph nodes takes place across

A

high endothelial venules

43
Q

Rolling is promoted by

A

Weak interactions between lymphocyte L-selectin and endothelial cell mucin

44
Q

Rolling is promoted by

A

Weak interactions between lymphocyte L-selectin and endothelial cell musin

45
Q

Integrins mediate

lymphocyte arrest and adhesion to immunoglobulin-superfamily CAMs.

46
Q

Junctional adhesion molecules

A

Mediate transendothelial migration of lymphocytes

47

A

L-selectin binds musin (CD34) on endothelial surface

48
Q

A

Interaction with a chemokine receptor transduces an activating signal that changes the confirmation of the integrin (LFA-1)

49
Q

Molecules involved in arrest/adhesion of naive T lymphocyte extravasation

A

The activated integrin binds to an ICAM-1 and the rolling stops, allowing transendothelial migration into the lymph node to occur.

50
Q

Molecules involved in arrest/adhesion of naive T lymphocyte extravasation

A

The activated integrin binds to an ICAM-1 and the rolling stops, allowing transendothelial migration into the lymph node to occur.

51
Q

Where does a naive T cell go/what does it do after transendothelial migration?

A

It enters the lymph node, specifically it goes to the paracortex where it can encounter antigen presented by interdigitating dendritic cells

A

Homing receptors on lymphocytes that recognize specific CAMs

53
Q

Chemokines involved in lymphocyte homing/trafficking.
MIP-1β: Attracts naive T cells
RANTES: Attracts memory T cells

54
Q

Homing of naive lymphocytes

A

Naive lymphocytes do not show tissue specific homing; rather they traffick to secondary lymphoid tissues

55
Q

Effector lymphocytes home to:

A

Sites of inflammation

56
Q

Memory lymphocytes home to:

A

The tissue type where a specific antigen was first encountered

57
Q

A

Trigger tissue mast cell release of histamine, leading to smooth muscle contraction and increased vascular permeability during acute inflammation

70
Q

Interferon-γ and TNFα as mediators of inflammation

A

Important in chronic inflammation, and can cause tissue damage

71
Q

Inflammasomes

A

Consist of certain nod like receptors (NLRs) that assemble with proteins such as proteases to form a complex that converts precursor forms of IL-1 and IL-18 into active inflammation-promoting cytokines that are then secreted

72

A

NLRs and proteins such as proteases

73
Q

NLRP3 inflammasome is expressed by

A

Monocytes, macrophages, neutrophils, dendritic cells, some lymphocytes, and epithelial cells

A

Microbial components such as flagellin, and by non-microbial substances such as DAMPs

75
Q

How do inflammasomes prime the inflammatory response?

A

They act in tandem with other PRRs in response to PAMPs or DAMPs to generate mature IL-1 and IL-18 via caspase-1-mediated cleavage.

  • Lysosomal rupture
  • ROS production in response to PRRs (the respiratory burst)
