Pathoma Inflammation, inflammatory disorders, wound healing Flashcards
Inflammation allows what to happen?
Inflammatory cells, plasma proteins, and fluid to exit from vessel to enter interstitial space
Cells seen in acute inflammation
Neutrophil
Cells in chronic inflammation
Lymphocytes
Acute inflammation characterized by
Edema and neutrophils
Acute inflammation arises in response to what 2 things
Infection or tissue necrosis - eliminate pathogen or clear necrotic debris
What is included in innate immunity
epithelium, mucus secreted by cells, complement system, cells (mast, macrophages, neutrophils, eosinophils, basophils)
Acute inflammation mediated by what factors?
TLRs: present on cells of innate immunity
AA: from phospholipase A2 (acted on by COX/5-lipooxygease)
What do TLRs recognize?
PAMPs - pathogen associated molecular patterns
What TLR is found on macrophages and recognizes LPS on outer membrane of G- bacteria
CD14
TLR activation results in upregulation of?
NF-kappaB
activates immune response genes
COX pathway produces what?
PG
I2, D2, E2
Mediate vasodilation (arteriole) and vascular permeability (post-capillary venule)
E2 - also mediates fever and pain
5-lipooxygenase produces?
LT
B4 - attracts and activates neutrophils
C4, D4, E4 - vasoconstriction, bronchospasm, increased vascular permeability - contract smooth muscle
What attracts/activates neutrophils?
LTB4, C5A, IL8, bacterial products
mast cells activated by
tissue trauma
complement proteins C3a, C5a
Crosslinking of cell surface IgE by antigen
what does histamine do
mediates vasodilation of arterioles and increase vascular permeability
Delayed response of mast cell
production of AA metabolites - leukotrienes to maintain inflammatory response
Complement for acute inflammation activation
classical pathway (C1) binds IgG/IgM bound to antigen "GM makes classic cars"
alternative pathway - microbial products directly activate complement
mannose binding lectin pathway - MBL binds mannose on microorganisms and activates complement.
complement pathways result in
C3 convertase: C3 - C3a/b which activates
C5 convertase: C5 - C5a/b which creates formation of MAC
Binds with C6-9 to form MAC complex
C3a and C5a trigger what?
Mast cell degranulation
C5a is chemotactic for what?
neutrophils
C3b action
opsonin for phagocytosis
MAC complex does what?
Lyses microbes by creating holes in cell membrane
Hageman Factor
Activated up subendothelial or tissue collage
Produced in liver - important role in DIC (Gram - Sepsis)
What does Hegeman factor activate?
Coagulation and fibrinolytic systems
Complement
Kinin system (cleave HMWK to bradykinin - mediates vasodilation, vascular permeability, pain
Cardinal signs of inflammation
Rubor, calor, tumor, swelling, dolor, fever
Redness - d/t vasodilation (arteriole) resulting in increased blood flow
Relaxation of arteriolar smooth muscle
Leakage of fluid from postcapillary venules
Key mediators of rubor and color
Histamine, PG, bradykinin
Key mediators of swelling (tumor)
histamine, tissue damage
Key mediators of pain
Bradykinin and PGE2 by sensitizing nerve endings
Key mediators of fever
Pyrogens cause macrophages to release IL-1 & TNF
Increase in COX (perivascular cells of hypothalamus)
PGE2 - raise temp set point
Neutrophil phase peaks at what time?
24 hours
Macrophage phase peaks at what time?
2-3 days
Step 1 of neutrophil arrival
Margination
Vasodilation slows blood flow in postpapillary venule
Cells marginate from center to periphery
Step 2 of neutrophil arrival
Rolling
Selectin - speed bumps upregulates
P selectin from Weibel Palade bodies (histamine)
E selectin by TNF and IL-1
Where does P selectin come from
Weibel Palade bodies
What are 2 key proteins from Weibel Palade body
vWF
P selectin
E selectin induced by
TNF & IL-1
What do selectins bind?
Sialyl Lewis X on leukocytes - results in rolling of leukocytes along vessel wall
Step 3 of neutrophil arrival
Adhesion
binding to wall by cellular adhesion molecules (upregulated by TNF and IL-1)
Bind integrins on leukocytes (upregulated by C5a, LTB4)
Results in firm adhesion to vessel wall
Leukocyte adhesion deficiency
CD18 subunit
Ar defect integrin - can’t be drawn into tissue
Delayed separation of umbilical cord - (normally neutrophils destroy tissue to allow separation)
Increased circulating neutrophils
Recurrent bacterial infections that lack pus formation (pus is dead neutrophils)
Step 4 neutrophil arrival
Transmigration and chemotaxis
Leukocyte transmigrate across endothelium of postcapillary venule
Move toward chemical attractants (C5a, LTB4, bacterial products, IL-8)
Step 5 neutrophil arrival
Phagocytosis
Enhanced by opsonins (IgG & C3b)
Chediak Higashi Syndrome
Protein trafficking defect - impaired phagolysosome formation (microtubule defect so can’t merge phagosome + lysosome)
- Increased risk pyogenic infection
- Neutropenia - (can’t divide properly)
- Giant granules in leukocytes (can’t be moved)
- Defective primary hemostasis - dependent on platelets - granules not properly distributed
- Albinism
- Peripheral neuropathy - can’t move proteins from nucleus to nerves
Step 6 of neutrophil arrival
Destrocion of phagocytosed material
O2 dependent
- most effective
- HOCl generated by oxidative burst in phagolysosomes
O2 independent
- enzyme present in leukocytes
Which is more effective? O2 dependent or independent killing?
O2 dependent
O2 - to O2.- to H2O2 to HOCl
O2 to O2.- by NADPH oxidase
O2.- to H2O2 by superoxide dismutate
H2O2 to HOCl (bleach) by myeloperoxidase
CGD (chronic granulomatous dz)
poor O2 dependent killing
D/T NADPH oxidase defect
can’t generate bleach: granuloma infections with catalase + organisms
Catalase + organism associated with CGD (chronic granulomatous dz)
Catalase destroys H2O2 so can’t produce bleach
S aureus
Pseudomonas cepacia
Test to screen for CGD?
Nitroblue tetrazolium
Is O2 to O2.- intact by NADPH oxidase? NO - dye remains colorless
MPO deficiency
can’t produce bleach but most pt will be asymptomatic
Increase risk in candida infections
what will happen in NBP (nitroblue tetrazolium) test in MPO deficiency?
It will turn blue because the O2 to O2.- reaction is intact
Step 7 neutrophil arrival
Resolution
Neutrophil undergoes apoptosis
Disappear within 24 hours after resolution of inflammatory stimulus
Monocytes arrive how?
Same as neutrophils:
margination, rolling, adhesion, transmigration
What is primary enzyme in macrophages?
Lysozyme
