Q

What are the additional mediators released in chronic inflammation & what do they do?

A
  1. Interleukins: cytokines that communicate in between WBC to activate additional WBC to bring more into the area
  2. GM-CSF (granulocyte–macrophage colony stimulating factors): stimulates growth of granulocytes -> neutrophils, eosinophils, basophils & mast cells; all of WBC are increased by this
  3. TNF: pro-inflammatory
  4. Interferons: interfere with viral replication
  5. PDGF: platelet derive growth factor

** all of these increase WBCs, or get more WBCs to the area**

NOT AN NSAID
Class: Analgesic/Antipyretic

MOA: COX2 selective inhibitor
-more CNS effects
-has no effects on inflammation

Metabolized in the liver
Toxic to liver & kidneys

Uses: mild - moderate pain

AE: main effects associated w/ liver

Fatal dose 15 grams

44
Q

Describe the pathways by which acetaminophen is metabolized (1) to harmless products if normal doses are taken and (2) to hepatotoxic products if an overdose is taken

A

Acetaminophen is normally metabolized by phase 2 conjugation reactions glucuronidation and sulfation to form non toxic byproducts that are excreted through feces and urine.

If you overdose on acetaminophen, Phase 1 metabolism reactions are activated with CYP2E1 and CYP3A4. This builds up reactive toxic intermediates with positive charges that can attach proteins and other negatively charged molecules.

If its not that bad, a glutathione will attach to the charge (another phase 2 conjugation reaction) and the byproduct is swept away.

If it is really bad like a whole bottle, then we eventually run out of glutathione and Nucleophillic Cell Macromolecules (protein-SH) will attach to charge and inactive them and lead to liver cell death.

45
Q

Where are NSAIDs excreted? What happens if you have a problem with your kidneys?

A

Kidneys –> urine

You’ll have a problem clearing it out

46
Q

What type of NSAID is best for patients who are at risk for stomach bleeding?

A

COX 2 specific

A

Adrenal gland

49
Q

What is cortisol?

A

Stress hormone that helps mobile energy stores to help you focus when acute

50
Q

What does glucocorticoid mimic?

A

cortisol

51
Q

What does acute release of cortisol do?

A
  1. Suppress inflammation
  2. mobilize energy stores

Does not help with pain
Give with NSAID

A

T

58
Q

What are ways to measure the effects of DMARDs?

A
  1. Sed Rate
  2. C-reative protein: increases 1000x if there’s inflammation in the body
  3. Rheumatoid Factor (RF): this will tell us if the pt has rheumatoid arthritis
59
Q

Describe how chronic inflammation contributes to cancer

A

-Chronic exposure to inflammatory mediators leads to
–Cell proliferation
–Mutagenesis
–Oncogene activation
–Angiogenesis

-Caused by: Release of Reactive oxygen species (ROS)/ Reactive Nitrogen Intermediates (RNI) by WBC in tumor cells → cause mutations in neighboring epithelial cells

-Caused by Cytokines from tumor-infiltrating immune cells activate NF-KB/STAT3 (pro-inflammatory) in premalignant cells → induce production of Cyclins and CDKS → cancer growth/division

-Excessive free radicals and tissue damage → more inflammation

-Therapy = ASA- used for prevention and therapy
–Deplete immune/inflammation cells, sequester chemokines/cytokines
–Prevent Colon Ca, Reduce Breast Ca & Prostate Ca risk (low dose benefits)

60
Q

What induces production of growth/division proteins in tumors?

A

NF-kB
STAT3

61
Q

You should take ____ to help reduce inflammation in malignancies

aspirin
