Q

What is the general model of tissue renewal

A

-in healthy tissue there is little monocyte trafficking or neutrophil efflux into tissues, an intact basement membrane and no scar tissue
-upon tissue damage, there is loss of epithelia, neutrophil influx activation of resident macrophages, and recruitment of inflammatory monocytes, in addition to release of inflammatory factors and activation of pericytes into myofibroblasts
-tissue either goes to tissue regeneration or aberrant tissue repair
-during tissue regeneration there is epithelial proliferation for reconstitution, macrophage activation into a wound0healing phenotype and matrix remodeling. In addition T reg cells are recruited to decrease inflammation
-during aberrant tissue repair, excessive scarring occurs as a result of continued activation of inflammatory cells and impaired epithelial regeneration

21
Q

tertiary intention

A

-delayed primary closure
-good for wounds which are contaminated/infected initially

22
Q

What is the mechanism that regulated cell proliferation

A

-driven by proteins that are collectively called growth factors
-production of peptide growth factors, response of cells to these factors, and the ability of tissue cells to five and expand in numbers are all important determinants of the adequacy of the repair process
-cell numbers can be altered by increased or decreased rates of stem cell input, cell death via apoptosis, or change in rates of proliferation or differentiation

23
Q

epidermal growth factor (EGF)

A

-come from activated macrophages, keratinocytes, and many
-function: mitogenic for keratinocytes and fibroblasts; stimulates keratinocyte migration and granulation tissue formation

24
Q

What receptors do EGF use?

A

-utilize surface receptors and transduction pathways
-trigger a protein kinase cascade

25
Q

What does binding of EGF to receptors trigger?

A

-altered gene expression through transcription factor activation

26
Q

What is the benefit of multiple proteins involved in EGF signaling?

A

there are many potential drug targets for modulating EGF signaling and therefore, cell proliferation

27
Q

How does the extracellular matrix affect structural integrity

A

-ECM is related to tissue shape (keeps shape)
-EXM provides tissue specific mechanical properties
-EXM facilitates tissue organization

28
Q

What are cell matrix interactions by the ECM>

A

-ECM provides anchorage for cells through interaction with membrane proteins as integrins
-ECM is related to adhesion and cell spreading
-ECM facilitates cell polarity
-ECM is related to cell migration

29
Q

What are the dynamics and depot role of ECM?

A

-ECM is a growth factor depot and reservoir for other signaling molecules
-constant ECM remodeling through degradation and assembly is regulated by enzymes, like proteases and peptidases

30
Q

What role does ECM play in signals/cell response?

A

-ECM provides signals for homeostasis, proliferation, and differentiation
-cells recognize signals present in ECM through receptors
-ECM is related to autocrine and paracrine signaling

31
Q

What are the major components of the ECM?

A

-basement membrane
-interstitial matrix

32
Q

Basement membrane

A

-Type IV collagen
-laminin
-proteoglycan

33
Q

Integrins

A

-hold the epithelium to the basement membrane
-hold fibroblast to adhesive glycoproteins

34
Q

interstitial matrix

A

-fibrillar collagens (many types of collagen)
-elastin
-proteoglycan and hyaluronan

35
Q

What two mechanisms underly the regulation of cell proliferation?

A

-ECM
-growth factors

36
Q

How does the ECM trigger cell proliferation?

A

upon binding of the extracellular matrix, the actin cytoskeleton on the intracellular side changes in length which releases signals to trigger proliferation

37
Q

When is repair by connective tissue (fibrosis) triggered?

A

When damage is so serve that damaged/dead parenchymal (epithelial or specialized differentiated) cells cannot be regenerated

38
Q

What occurs when damaged cells are unable to be regenerated?

A

-They are replaced by fibroblasts which results in fibrosis (scarring)
-repair begins within 24 hours of injury by the emigration of fibroblasts and the induction of fibroblast and endothelial cell proliferation

39
Q

How many sequential processes are involved in fbrosis?

A

four

40
Q

what are the sequential processes of fibrosis?

A

-formation of new blood vessels at the site of injury- angiogenesis/ neovascularization
-migration and proliferation of fibroblasts at site of injury
-deposition of ECM by firoblasts
-maturation and remodeling of the fibrous tissue- primarily performed by macrophages

41
Q

How are growth factors that regulate fibrosis produced?

A

by endothelial cells and by inflammatory cells, most notably macrophages

42
Q

what are the growth factors that regulate fibrosis?

A

-PDGF (platelet derived growth factor)
-TGF (transforming growth factor)
-FGF-2 (fibroblast growth factor)

43
Q

platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF)

A

migration and proliferation of fibroblasts, smooth muscle cells, and macrophages

44
Q

transforming growth factors (TGF)

A

-potent fibrinogenic factor that stimulates collagen, fibronectin and proteoglycan synthesis
-inhibits collagen degradation
-inhibits lymphocyte proliferation
-has anti-inflammatory effect

45
Q

A

-stimulates proliferation of endothelial cells
-promotes migration of macrophages and fibroblasts to damaged areas

46
Q

Why are the underlying processes of fibrosis regulation viable treatments of disease?
