Regeneration, repair, and wound healing Flashcards
regeneration
restoration of damaged or lost cells or tissues to their original state
requires intact ECM scaffold and cell proliferation
repair
combination of regeneration and scar formation by deposition of collagen, usually occurs when ECM is damaged and new ECM (collagen) is laid down
labile cells
continuously cycling ex skin epithelium
quiescent cells
stable cells not actively dividing but able to re-enter cell cycle at G1 and divide ex liver, kidney, pancreas
terminally differentiated cells
permanent, do not divide ex neurons, cardiac myocytes
regulation of cell cycle
Cyclin D binds to cyclin dependent kinase after signal from growth factor, kinase becomes active and phosphorylates retinoblastoma (main controller of G1 to S transition).
Rb releases E2F so E2F can go to promoter site and translate S phase proteins
endocrine
hormones released into bloodstream to reach target cells (steroid hormones)
paracrine
cells release soluble factors directed to target cell in the immediate vicinity (neurotransmitters)
autocrine
cells respond so substances they release themselves (TGF beta)
juxtacrine
target cells bind a signaling molecule bone the plasma membrane of the signaling cells (some EGFs)
epidermal growth factor
- receptor is EGFR1, tyrosine kinase
- juxtacrine mechanism
- cells of origin: macrophages, inflammatory cells, platelets
- target cells: epithelial cells, fibroblasts
- effects: cellular proliferation
platelet derived growth factor
- receptor is PDGFRa/B, tyrosine kinase
- cells of origin: platelet granules, macrophages, endothelial cells, fibroblasts
- target cells: mesenchymal cells (NOT epithelial cells), hematopoietic cells and fibroblasts
- effects: chemokine and mitogen for mesenchymal cells, stimulates fibroblasts to secrete ECM and collagenase
fibroblast growth factor
- receptor is tyrosine kinase, requires FGF to be bound to ECM syndecan in order to activate receptor
- cells of origin: epithelial cells, macrophages
- target cells: fibroblasts, endothelial cells
- effects: fibroblast chemotaxis, proliferation, ECM deposition, angiogenesis
vascular endothelial growth factor
- receptor tyrosine kinase
- cells of origin: mesenchymal cells, leukocytes, fibroblasts
- target cells: endothelial cells
- effects: angiogenesis, endothelial cell proliferation and migration, vascular permeability
transforming growth factor beta
- polypeptide growth factor, receptor is serine/ threonine kinase
- cells of origin: platelets, endothelial cells, fibroblasts, macrophages
- target cells: fibroblasts, leukocytes
- functions: many, some contradictory. promote fibrogenesis
