Regeneration, Repair, and Wound Healing Flashcards
1
Q
regeneration
A
- restoration of damaged or lost cells or tissues to their original state
- requires cell proliferation (parenchyma or stem cell pop) and an intact ECM scaffold
- eg normal/homeostatic replacement of skin cells
2
Q
repair
A
- involves a combination of regeneration and scar formation by collagen deposition
- requires cell proliferation; ECM is usually damaged and new ECM (collagen) is deposited
- eg burn healing
3
Q
regulation of cell cycle
A
- G1-S checkpoint
- cylicns (D) bind to cyclin dependent kinase ->form heterodimer -> phophorylate retinoblastoma protein -> release E2F -> protein transcripton
- CDK inhibited by growth inhibitors (TGF-B, p53), activated by growth factors (EGF, PDGF)
4
Q
growth factors
A
- polypeptides that bind cellular receptors and stimulate cell proliferation
- can also stimulate cytoskeletal rearrangement (alter cellular motility and contractility), cellular differentiation, angiogenesis
5
Q
Epidermal growth factor (EGF)
A
- includes EGF, TGF-a
- receptor EGRF1, tyrosine kinase, juxtacrine
- from macrophages, inflammatory cells, platelets
- acts on epithelial cells, fibroblasts
- effects cellular proliferation
- diseases: psoriasis (TGF-a), Her2 receptor + breast cancer
6
Q
Platelet derived growth factor (PDGF)
A
- secreted proteins
- PDGRF a and B, receptor tyrosine kinase
- from platelets, macrophages, endothelial cells, fibroblasts
- acts on mesenchymal cells (hematopoietic cells, fibroblasts)
- primary chemokine and mitogen for mesenchymal cells, stimulates fibroblasts to secrete ECM and collagenase, attract inflammatory cells-secrete growth factors
- chronic eosinophilic leukemia-receptor gene fusion-uncontrolled eosinophil proliferation
7
Q
Fibroblast growth factor (FGF)
A
- receptor tyrosine kinase; FGF must be bound to extracellular matrix to activate
- from macrophages, endothelial cells
- target fibroblasts, endothelial cells
- fibroblast chemotaxis and proliferation, ECM deposition, angiogenesis
- lots of diseases
8
Q
Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEG-F)
A
- polypeptide growth factors
- receptor tyrosine kinase
- from variety of mesenchymal cells (leukocytes and fibroblasts)
- target endothelial cells
- angiogenesis, endothelial cell proliferations and migration, increase vascular permeability
9
Q
Transforming growth factor B (TGF-B)
A
- polypeptide growth factors
- receptor serine/threonine kinase
- from platelets, endothelial cells, fibroblasts, macrophages, lymphocytes
- target fibroblasts, leukocytes
- multiple opposing effects: promotes fibrogenesis, stimulate fibroblast and smooth muscle proliferation, inhibit epithelial and mesenchymal cell growth, strong anti-inflammatory agent, attract neutrophils, fibroblasts, macrophages
10
Q
Interferon
A
- cytokine
- from T-cells
- target macrophages and fibroblasts
- role in wound healing: activates macrophages (major mediator of wound healing), down regulates collagen synthesis, inhibit fibroblast proliferation
11
Q
Interleukin-1
A
- cytokine
- from macrophages
- target inflammatory cells and fibroblasts
- wound healing: mediates inflammatory cell fxns in wound, neutrophil and fibroblast chemotaxis
12
Q
Tumor necrosis factor
A
- cytokine
- from macrophages and t-cells
- target macrophages and t-cells (autocrine)
- wound healing: activates macrophages, stimulate IL-1 production, activate t-cells, induce collagen production in fibroblasts, attract neutrophils
13
Q
Embryonic stem cells
A
- derived from inner cell mass of blastocyst
- each cell is pluripotent
- have self renewal capacity
- uses-treatment of ds where there is a loss of critical cell types (MI, Alzheimers, Parkinsons, spinal cord injury, DM type 1)
- challenges- ethical issues, transplant rejection, tumor formation (teratoma), persistence of underlying ds, making differentiated cells fxn normally
14
Q
induced pluripotent stem cells
A
-skin cells -> transduce in certain genes -> proteins -> induce cells back to pluripotent state
15
Q
Adult stem cells
A
- small reservoirs of self-renewing cells in multiple tissues
- restricted in their differentiation potential
- fxn is to regenerate cells lost by normal wear and tear (hair follicle, GI crypts, liver, eye)
- if moved to different tissue, can transdifferentiate in vitro; otherwise restricted niches
16
Q
ECM fxns
A
- provide turgor by sequestering water or rigidity by sequestering minerals
- reservoir for secreted growth factors
- framework for cells to adhere, migrate and proliferate in
- mediates cell-cell interactions
- site of remodeling during wound healing
17
Q
ECM composition
A
- fibrous structural proteins
- adhesive glycoproteins
- proteoglycans and hyaluronic acid
18
Q
Col I
A
most common type in mammals
bone, tendon, mature scars
fibrillar
