Lipid Mediators Flashcards
Can Plasma clot
Yes, it is the stuff left after you remove the blood cells
Can serum clot
NO, you’re removing the blood cells and clotting factors
Chronic inflamation leads to …. and ….
chronic inflammation leads to FIBROSIS and SCARRING
Fibrosis….
loss of function
Symptoms of Chronic inflammation
1) angiogenesis
2) Mononuclear Cell Infilitrate
3) Fibrosis (SCAR)
…. vascular changes, neutrophil recruitment, mediators
Acute inflammation
Infarction is …..
Acute Inflammation
Replacement of injured cells…
Resolution
Pus formation or abcess…
from ACUTE inflmmation
Acute inflammation….
1) vascular changes
2) neutrophil recruitment
3) mediators
….Angiognenesis, Mononucelar cell infilitrate, Fibrosis (SCAR)
Chronic Inflammation
Chemical Mediators have two sources
Cellular and Plasma
….have potential to cause damage to self
Chemical Mediators
Plasma can lead to ….activation and ….activation
Complement Activation
Factor XII (HAGEMAN factor) activation
Autacoids…
quickly made and degraded and act locally, respond to specific stimuli
Lipid Mediators
&
Eicosanoids
Liver is a major source of…
Plasma
Cellular and Plasma are two sources of ….
chemical mediators
Eicosanoids….
chemically diverse family of A.A derivatives
other than Eicosanoids, ….are a another type of Autacoids
Lipid Mediator
Prednisone inhibits …. of the Lipid Mediator Pathway
Phopholipases
PLA2
PLC
T/F Prednisolone raises blood sugar of patient and should be careful in diabetics and prediabetics
True
….inhibitors prevent cleavage of A.A from linoelic acid from cell membrane
Steroid inhibitors
Zafirlukast and Montelukast are both ….
selective & COMPETITIVE (higher Km, Vmax Same) leukotriene receptor ANTAGONIST for LTD4 and LTE4
Aspirin/Celebrex…
are Cycloxygenase inhibitors (COX)
A.A cannot be converted to 5’ HPETE what inhibitor is causing this…
Zileuton, an inhibitor of 5LOX which converts A.A into 5HPETE/LTA4/5PETE
….derivatives of A.A
Eicosanoids which are also considered a type of Autacoids
You want to inhibit linoelic acid’s conversion to A.A which inhibitor do you use…
Steroids block the cleavage of A.A from cell membrane by blocking PLC and PLA2
…. is a 5’ LOX inhibitor
Zileuton
(Autoacoids/Eicosanoids/Lipid Mediator) is the umbrella term for (Autacoids/Eicosanoids/Lipid Mediator) and (Autocaoids/Eicosanoids/Lipid Mediator)
Autacoids are umbrella term for Eicosanoids (A.A derivatives) and Lipid Meadiators
You can’t covert A.A into PGG2 what’s happening?
There’s a COX inhibitor preventing COX from convertint A.A into PGG2
A.A. is a 20 carbon polyUNSATURATED Fatty acid derived from two sources..
1) Dietary Sources
2) conversion from essential fatty acid Linoleic Acid
A.A does not…..
occur free in cells, exists as esterified in plasma membrane
….liberates A.A from plasma membrane
PLA2
primarily PLA2, sometime PLC
PLA2 has FOUR categories….
1) Structure and SIze
2) Clacium requirement
3) Substrate Specificity
4) Tissue Distribution
PLA2 examples of different types
1) Secretory requires sPLA2 Calcium
2) Cytopalsmic cPLA2 require calcium
3) iPLA2 no Calcium
4) PAF acetyl hydrolases
A.A can go two pathways….
LOX pathway
or
COX pathway
LOX are present in …
only a few cell types
The primary LOX enzyme in neutrophils are ….
5LOX
main product of neutrophils are…
5HETE
