Proteasomes

125
Q

Hageman deficiency?

A

XII asymptomatic

126
Q

How does Wnt and frizzled work?

A

Frzzld activated by Wnt.
Fxn: regulates beta catenin levels
beta catenin activates disheveled protein which inhibits ubiquitination of beta catenin

127

Muscle cells?

brain?

A

Lamin A, B, C

Vimentin (mesenchymal cells in the fibroblasts and endothelium)

140
Q

Pt presents with high PTT, but is asymptomatic.

Factor XII.
(hageman)
This guy is the initiation of the cascade in vivo

A

Upregulated gene expression in malignant cells

143
Q

What can Growth factors do to cells?

A
  • Promote cells to go into cell cycle
  • Remove blocks on progression
  • Prevent apoptosis
  • Enhance synthesis of proteins
144
Q

What are these caused by?
Coagulative necro?

Liquefactive?

Caseous?

Fat

Fibrinoid

A

Ischeamia or infarction that denatures enzymes

Liquefactive: Bacterial abscess, brain, neutrophils taht release lysosomal enzymes that digest tissue.

Caseous: TB and fungi; macrophages

Fat: Lipase released = saponification

Fibrinoid: Immune rxns, preecmapplsia, HTN emergency.
Immune complexes with fibrin = Type III HSN

145
Q

When do you get overactive apop?

A

Neurodegenerative

146
Q

A

bacteria –> inflammasome – IL1 –> IL 1 –> Fever and luekocyte

Why?

A

in the kidney, lung and gastric mucosa,

because H+ is lost quickest here, and increase pH favors Ca+ deposition
