Resolution of inflammation Flashcards
stages in process of reinstating homeostasis after injury/infection
terminating adaptive immune responses
inflammation resolution
wound healing and repair
what does terminating adaptive immune responses involve
regulatory cell function
removal of effector cells
long term maintenance of memory cells
why does inflammation resolution involve
return of tissue resident cells to an inactivated state
production of pro-resolving chemical mediators
removal of pro inflammatory factors
what does wound healing and repair involve
replacement of damaged cells
replacement of tissue matrix
may be healthy, function cellular tissue
why is turning off T cells crucial
T cells need repeated stimulation from signals 1 2 and 3 to function
if antigen or costimulation aren’t present and cytokine signal changes the T cells change phenotype or die
changes to T cells after responding to antigen
switch to th2 anti-inflammatory phenotype
3 things that may occur after T cell chang to th2
anergy
exhaustion
activation-induced cell death
anergy
cell can’t be activated even in optimal conditions
exhaustion
temporary state of inactivity
activation-induced cell death
excited cells die leading to transient lymphopenia
what occurs at the same time as T cells turning off
T reg cells will be generated
2 types of T reg
nTreg
iTreg
nTreg
natural/thymically derived Tree
maintain tolerance all of the time
iTreg
generated from naive T cells in tissues and reduce function of dendritic cells and other immune cells
what do both types of T reg cells express
CD4
CD25
CTLA4
FOXP3 transcription factor
what will only nTreg cells express
CD62L
why is the generation of iTreg cells from naive cells important
iTreg reduce activation signals by DC,sequester il-2 and release anti-inflammatory cytokines (Il-10 and TGF beta)
main components of inflammation resolution q
alternatively activated M2 macrophages
apoptotic neutrophils
cytokines: IL-10 and TGF beta
specific mediators of resolution
lipid mediators
proteins and peptides
gaseous mediators
purine
neuromodulators
