Q

What is the misfolded protein response (it does 3 things)

A

When too many misfolded proteins in the ER-> ER stress->
1. Increase production of chaperones
2. decrease protein translation
3. proteasome action

If not sufficient-> apoptosis

Q

For the production of melanin, the enzyme ______ catalyses the oxidation of ______ to dihydroxyphenylalanine

A

tyrosinase, tyrosine

20
Q

Is cell injury reversible?

A

Yes, to a point. Cell injury means it is past the limits of adaptative response

21
Q

what is dystrophic calcification?

A

calcium accumulated at site of necrosis

22
Q

Give two example of early alteration of cells in reversible injury (can be observed visually)

A

Cell swelling
fatty change

23
Q

Cause of cell swelling in injury of cells

A

lack of oxygen-> Depletion of ATP-> ATP Na K plasma membrane pump not working

24
Q

What is hydropic change/vacuolar degeneration? (which organelle is afected?)

A

endoplasmic reticulum that is distended

25
Give 2 DAMPs (dammage associated molecular patterns) that triggers inflammation and cytokines
ATP and uric acid
26
What causes increased eosinophilia in cells with injury?
denatured proteins accumulating in cytoplasm
27
what are myelin figures
concentric lamellations made up of phospholipids and calcium that are derived from cell membranes (seen in réversible or irreversible injury)
28
Which protein is a proapoptotic enzyme when leaked from mitochondria?
Cytochrome C (mitochondrial or intrinsic pathway of apoptosis)
29
Name 3 antiapoptotic proteins. What are they induced by?
BCL2, BCLX, MCL1. In membranes and in cytosol, they prevent leakage of cytochrome C. Is induced by survival signals including growth factors
30
BAX and BAK are proapoptotic because they ________________ the mitochondria membrane. BIM, BAD and BID, as well as noxa and puma are apoptosis ______________
permeabilize, initiators
31
Which is the initiator caspase of the mitochondrial pathway?
caspase 9
32
What is the apoptosome constituted of?
cytochrome C binding to APAF-1 (apoptosis activating factor 1)
33
Which receptors initiate the extrinsic pathway of apoptosis?
plasma membrane death receptors
34
True or false hypoxia can elicit inflammation?
true. Endogenous substances like cholesterol crystals and lipids as well
35
Does chronic inflammation always happens after acute inflammation?
No, can happen de novo
36
what are the 2 things that are consistants with irreversible injury
inability to reverse mitochondrial dysfunction and profound disturbance in membrane function
37
What is the role of BH3 only proteins in apoptosis?
antagonise BCL2 and activate BAX and BAK. They are activated when lack of survival signals or other damage of the cell
38
What is the role of Smac/DIABLO
they are mitochondrial proteins that bind IAP (inhibitors of apoptosis). So the ultimate effect of Smac/DIABLO is proapoptosis
39
What does the protein FLIP do?
Bind procaspase 8, preventing FADD (Fas-associated death domain, in extrinsic apoptosis) from binding to it, therefore preventing apoptosis
40
necroptosis: give an exemple of a physiologic etiology and a pathologic etiology
groth plates, acute pancreatitis, cytomegalovirus, ishemia reperfusion, neurodegenerative disease, steatohepatitis
41
what is the fenton reaction?
Fe2+ (ferrous) + H2O2 - > Fe3+ (ferric) + 2OH-
42
copper-zinc SOD and manganese SOD: which one is in the cytoplasm/mitochondria?
Copper zinc SOD is in the sytoplasm and manganese is in the mitochondria
43
what does the accumulation of calcium in the mitochondria has as a consequence?
opening of the mitochondria permeability transition pore
44
why does the complement contributes to reperfusion injury?? What tend to deposit in ischemic tissues?
IgG
45
Which pathway is more important in physiologic hypertrophy? In pathologic (generic)?
physiologic hypetrophy: PI3K/AKT pathologic hypertrophy: G protein coupled receptor-initiated pathways
