Stuff Flashcards
EGF and TGF alpha
made by keratinocytes, macrophages, inflammatory cells
mitogenic for hepatocytes, fibroblasts, epithelial cells
HER2 overexpressed
HGF
made by fibroblasts, CT cells, non-parenchymal liver cells
mitogenic for hepatocytes and epithelial cells
receptor MET overexpressed in tumors (renal & thyroid papillary carcinomas)
PDGF
made by macrophages, endothelial cells, SM cells, tumor cells
migration of fibroblasts, SM, monocytes to areas of wound healing
VEGF
vascular dilation, increased vascular permeability stimulated by hypoxia
Platelet dense granules?
histamine serotonin epinephrine Ca ADP, ATP

Metastasis to bone?
prostate, lung, breast, thyroid, kidney
metasisis to brain?
lung, breast, kidney
which invade veins?
RCC, hepatocellular carcinoma
myasthenia
bronchogenic carcinoma
neuropathies
breast carcinoma, small cell carcinoma
Bradykinin?
vasodilation, increased vascular perm, pain
Kallikrein
increased chemotaxis, plasmin generation, increae inflammation
Thrombin
thrombin binds to protease-activated receptors
increases inflammatory response:
1. increase endothelial adhesion molecules
2. make cytokines - PAF, NO
3. make PGs
plasmin
increases inflammatory response by
cleaving c3
activating hageman factor
endothelial cells
endothelin: prolonged vasoconstriction
NO, PGI2: inhibits platelet aggregation, vasodilation
