Q

Draw the Apoptosis pathways. What are the different pathways and how are they activated? What do they all converge on?

A

Intrinsic: Release of Cytochrome C from the mitochondria is sensed and prevented by Bcl-2. –> Caspases
Extrinsic: FasL on T cells binds FAS R (CD95). Or TNF binds TNF R on target.
CD8 Tcell pathway: Perforins/Granzyme

Q

Draw the aracondonic acid pathway? What are the two enzymes that control the first branch?

A

COX: makes prostaglandins which vasodilate, increase permeability in post cap venule. PGE2 produces Fever and Pain.

5-Lipooxygenase: makes Leukotrienes. LTB4 attracts PMNs. LTC4, D4, E4 produce vasoconstriction, bronchospasm, and increase vascular permeability
