Q

28
Q

3 fibrous proteins in ECM

A

collagen
reticular fibers
elastin

29
Q
A

elastin

30
Q

reduced amount of fibrillin-1; leading to more TGFbeta release that activates growth factors (defect in elastin)

A

Marfan’s

31
Q

degraded elastin fibers by elastase
(mutation of SERPINA1 gene)

A

AAT deficiency

32
Q

3 main components of ground substance of ECM

A

glycosaminoglycans (GAGs)
proteoglycans
multiadhesive glycoproteins (fibronectin)

33
Q

repeating disaccharide unit of 2 sugars added to proteoglycan backbone

A

glycosaminoglycans

34
Q

bring water into interstitial compartment (favors tissue hydration)

A

proteoglycans

35
Q

allows GAGs to be coupled and linked to collagen fibers

A

fibronectin (purple)

36
Q

2 main cells of CT

A

mesenchymal cells
immune cells

37
Q

ECM + cells =

A

connective tissue (CT)

38
Q

(smooth muscle actin) secrete matrix and have contractile component; mesenchymal cell in CT

A

myofibroblasts

39
Q

main mesenchymal cells of CT that secrete matrix components

A

fibroblasts
myofibroblasts
pericytes

40
Q

Interconnected network of macromolecules; fibers, hyaluronan, and anchored to that is proteoglycans and GAGs ;fibronectin allows crosslinking of molecules in the matrix; anchors cells into matrix

A

connective tissue

41
Q

an integrated structure of cells and extracellular matrix that regulates cell-cell communication, signal transduction, and growth factor signaling

A

connective tissue

42
Q

extracellular matrix is a balance of what 2 things

A

deposition and removal of ECM

43
Q

Synthesis of ECM by fibroblasts and myofibroblasts
Decreased collagen turnover

A

matrix deposition

44
Q

matrix metalloproteinases and elastases degrade what

A

ECM

45
Q

degrade collagen fibers; inhibited by TIMPs

A

MMPs

46
Q

will release elastase which will degrade elastin (this happens in smokers and AAT deficient patients and causes emphysema); the liver makes AAT and it is delivered to lungs to protect from neutrophil elastase normally

A

neutrophils

47
Q

due to increase in deposition of ECM and decreased removal

A

ILD (interstitial lung disease)

48
Q

A heterogenous group of disorders that leads to altered deposition of lung matrix components. This altered matrix deposition can affect gas exchange.
Inflammation and fibrosis of the alveoli, distal airways and interstitium of the lungs

A

interstitial lung disease

49
Q

less need for biopsy due to improvement of CT scans

A

diffuse parenchymal lung disease (DPLD)

50
Q

only way to diagnose interstitial pulmonary fibrosis

A

lung biopsy

51

63
Q

2 forms of nonspecific interstitial pneumonia

A

Q

how to distinguish b/t cellular and fibrotic form of nonspecific interstitial pneumonia

A

no honeycombing or fibroblastic foci in fibrotic

65
