-Misfolded protein response
-Induced by virus or host response
-Pathologic atrophy

27

31
Q

example of failure of physiologic apoptosis during development

A

Fraser syndrome : The digits have failed to separate in a case of Fraser syndrome, an autosomal recessive disorder associated with defects in genes involved in apoptosis.

32

A
38
Q

Physiologic or pathologic in the case of Necrosis vs Apoptosis ?

A

Necrosis: Always pathologic
apoptosis: both

39
Q

On what depends the damage caused by a particular injurious agent on the cell ? (3)

A
  1. Nature of the injury – Severity & Duration
  2. Type of cell, it’s metabolic state, adaptability, and genetic makeup.
  3. Damage is usually caused because of interference in multiple biochemical processes
40
Q

Principle mechanisms and sites of cell injury (4)

A
  1. Hypoxia/ischemia, radiation and other injurious agents on the mitochondria
  2. ROS or other injurious agents that damages the cellular membranes
  3. Radiation or mutations that affects the nucleus
  4. Mutations, cell stress or infections that affects the endoplasmic reticulum
41
Q

definition of hypoxia

A

Oxygen deprivation (anaerobic glycolysis can continue since substrates continue to be delivered).

42
Q

Definition of ischemia

A

Oxygen deprivation and diminished blood flow (affects aerobic and anaerobic energy production)

43
Q

definition of reperfusion injury

A

Paradoxical increase in cell injury after blood flow is returned to an ischemic area (complex but likely related to increased generation of ROS, influx of calcium, and activation of leucocytes)

44
Q

Definition of hypertophy

A

Increased Synthesis of Cell Structural Components

45
Q

Where does hypertrophy happens?

A

Occurs in Dividing and Non-Dividing Cells

Q

Is hypertrophy physio or patho?

A

both

47
Q

Mechanisms – Mechanical or trophic factor of hypertrophy (2)

A
  • Increased protein synthesis

  • Induction of structural genes
48
Q

What is hyperplasia?

A

Increase in cell number

49
Q

By what is caused hyperplasia?

A

Caused by stress or noxious stimuli leading cells with proliferative capacity to divide (less commonly stem cells)

50
Q

Os hyperplasia patho or physio?

A

Both

51
Q

Mechanisms of hyperplasia

A
  1. Growth Factors/Hormones
  2. Growth Receptors
  3. Activation of Signaling Pathways

52
Q

What is metaplasia

A

replacement of one cell type by another

53
Q

Is metaplasia patho?

A

Always

54
Q

By what is caused metaplasia?

A

Caused by:
- chronic inflammation
- cytostatic druges

55
Q

What is the mechanism of metaplasia?

A

reprogramming of stem celles or undifferentiated cells

56
Q

2 types of pathologic calcification

A
  • dystrophic calcification
  • Metastatic calcification
57
Q

where does dystrophic calcification occurs?

A

Occurs at sites of previous necrosis

58
Q

What is the apperance of dystrophic calcification

A

Appears as clumped, amorphous basophilic material

59
Q

Pathogenesis of dystrophic calcification

A

Calcium is concentrated in membrane-bound vesicles in cells with membrane damage.

60
Q

when does metastatic calcification occurs?

A

Occurs in setting of hypercalcemia

61
Q

Causes of hypercalcification?

A
  • Parathyroid hormone (bone reabsorption)
  • Destruction of bone secondary to malignancy
  • Vitamin D disorders
