Real Inflammation Flashcards
Inflammation
Response of living vascularized tissue to injury
Goal of inflammation
Remove damaged, necrotic tissues and foreign invaders
Repair
Injured tissue is replaced through
- regeneration of native parenchyma tissue
- by filling of defect with fibrous tissue
- both
Cardinal signs of inflammation
Rubor -redness
Dolor -pain
Calor - fever
Tumor - swelling
Fifth signs of inflammation
Loss of function
2 types of inflammation
Acute and chronic
Acute inflammation
Rapid onset
Short duration ( hours to days )
Exudation of fluid and plasma proteins leading to edema
Emigration of leukocytes , mostly neutrophils
3 characteristics of acute inflammation
> alteration in vascular caliber leading to increased blood flow
> structural changes in micro vascular use to allow plasma cells to get into tissues
> emigration of leukocytes to site of injury , accumulation and activation
Stimuli of acute inflammation
Infections
Tissue necrosis ( ischemia , trauma, mechanical injury )
Foreign Bodies
Immune reaction like in hypersensitivity
Changes in vascular flow and caliber
Transient constriction for few seconds
Vasodilation ( arterioles and then to the capillaries ) => NO and histamine
Increased permeability
Stasis of blood and more viscous blood
Leukocytes adhesion to endothelium and migrations through the wall
Increased vascular permeability
Contraction of endothelial cells
Increased interendothelial cells (histamine, bradykinin, leukotrienes, neuropeptide substance b)
EnDothelial injury
Endothelial cell necrosis and detachment
Transcytosis => increased transport of fluids and proteins
Responses of lymphatic vessels
Lymph flow increased to drain edema
How would you have lymphangitis or lymphadenitis in acute inflammation
Leukocytes , debris and microbes find their way into the lymph during drainage
Lymphangitis
Inflammation of the lymphatic channels because of infection distal to channel
Lymphadenitis
Inflammation of the lymph nodes
Recruitment of leukocytes to site of infections
Margination
Rolling
Adhesion to endothelium
Migration across endothelium and vessel wall (diapedesis)
Migration into tissue towards chemotactic stimulus
Rolling of leukocytes mediators ( receptors on left, ligand on the right )
L-selecting (leukocyte ) —- Glycam-1, CD34 (endothelium)
E-selectin (endothelium ) —- sialyl-lewis X modified protein (leukocytes )
P-selecting (platelet and endothelium ) —- sialyl-lewis X modified protein (leukocytes )
Adhesion of leukocytes mediators (ligand on the right )
VLA-4 integrin (leukocyte ) —— VCAM-1 (endothelium)
LFA-1 integrin (leukocyte ) —— ICAM-1 (endothelium)
MAC-1 integrin (leukocyte ) —— ICAM-1 (endothelium)
VLA-4
Very late antigen 4
LFA-1
Lymphocyte function associated antigen 1
VCAM 1
Vascular cell adhesion molecule 1
ICAM 1
Intercellular adhesion molecule I
Leukocytes migration through endothelium mediators (ligand on right )
PECAM-1 CD31 (endothelium) ——- ligand (leukocyte )
Collagenase (break down basement membrane )
PECAM1 h
Platelet endothelial cell adhesion molecule
Chemotaxis
Locomotion oriented along a chemical gradient produced by chemoattractants
Exogenous chemoattractants
Bacterial products ( peptides with n-formylmethionine) , lipids
Endogenous chemoattractants
Cytokines ( IL8)
Complement system C5a
Arachidonic acid metabolites like leukotrienes B4
Chemotaxis process
Chemotactic agent binds G protein receptor on leukocyte surface
Signal initiated
Secondary message which increases calcium and activate the Rac/Rho/ cdc42
Polymerizatioj of actin induced which increases its quantity at edge of cell
Leukocyte moved by filopodia towards stimuli
Dominant leukocytes during first 6 to 24 hours of acute inflammation
Neutrophils
Leukocyte that replaced neutrophils after 24 hours to 48 hours
Monocytes
Who survive longer neutrophils or monocytesu
Monocytes
Cellular infiltration that do not have same infiltration pattern in acute inflammation
Pseudomonas bacteria - neutrophils dominate for several days
Viral infection - lymphocytes may
Some hypersensitivity rxns- eosinophils dominant
Recognition of microbes and dead tissues by
Toll like receptors
G protein coupled receptors on macrophages, neutrophils and other leukocytes
Receptors for opsinins
Receptors for cytokines
Toll like receptors recognize
Bacteria lipopolysaccharide (LPS)
Bacterial Proteoglycans and lipids
Unmethylated CpG nucleotides
dsDNA viral
G protein coupled receptors on macrophages, neutrophils and other leukocytes recognize…
Small bacterial peptide with n formylmethionyl
Chemokines
Product of complement such as c5a
Lipid mediators
PGs
Leukotrienes
Receptors for opsinins recognize
Antibodies
Complement proteins
Lectins
Opsonization
Coating of particle to make it more disgestable through phagocytosis
Receptors for cytokines recognize
Cytokines (inf-y)
Removal of offending agents in acute inflammation
Phagocytosis : Recognition and attachment Particle engulfment Vacuole formation with particle inside Killing and degradation of particle
In acute inflammation, how is engulfed particle killed
ROS (superoxide ion)
Reactive nitrogen species ( NO, peroxynitrite)
Enzymes like elastase
Microbicidal granules (defensins, lactoferrin, lysozyme, Cathelicidins)
What leukocytes when activated promote proliferation of endothelial cells and fibroblasts , and synthesis of collagen
Macrophages
Leukocytes induced injury
Collateral damage as part of normal defense reaction
In appropriate target of Inflammatory response
Leukocyte induced injury examples
Acute respiratory distress syndrome with neutrophils
Acute transplant rejection by lymphocytes antibodies and complement
Asthma by eosinophils IGE antibodies
Glomerulonephritis By neutrophils monocytes antibodies complement
Septic shock by cytokines
Like abscess by neutrophils and bacteria
Arthritis by lymphocytes macrophages and antibodies
Atherosclerosis by macrophages and lymphocytes
Chronic transplants rejection by lymphocytes and cytokines
Leukocytes genetic defects
Leukocyte adhesion deficiency 1
Leukocyte adhesion deficiency 2
Chronic granulomatous disease=> decreased oxidative burst
X linked => phagocyte oxidase membrane component
Autosomal recessive => phagocyte oxidase cytoplasmic component
MPO deficiency => decreased microbial killing because deficient MPO
