Svensson- Tissue Renewal, Repair, and Regineration Flashcards
Parenchymal cells
-functional cells of the organ
-hepatocytes, myocytes, renal tubular cells
Stromal cells
-supporting structure of organs
- ECM, blood vessels, connective tissue
Tissue regeneration
-replacement of injured tissue with cells of the same type and function
Tissue repair
occurs when extent or nature of damage cannot be reversed by regeneration alone
Acute injury
-when the stimulus of the damage is removed
-either leads to regeneration or repair
an injury with persistent tissue damage can lead to___
fibrosis
What are the four stages of healing after tissue injury?
-homeostasis
-inflammation
-proliferation
-remodeling
homeostasis
-takes minutes
-results in local vasoconstriction and activation of platelets and clotting factors to form a fibrin clot
-creates the scaffold for migrating cells
inflammation
-takes hours
-driven by platelet-derived mediators, bacteria, and secreted chemoattractants
-macrophages and neutrophils
proliferation
-takes days
-mediated by macrophage and fibroblast-driven growth factors
-endothelial cells, keratinocytes, fibroblasts
remodeling
-takes weeks to months
-transition from type III to type I collagen
-restoring tensile strength of tissue
What is the general model of tissue renewal
-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
What determines regeneration versus repair?
-nature of cells injured
-extent of injury
-presence or absence of ongoing inflammation
-underlying disease
nature of cells injured
some cells (eg adult cardiac myocytes ) have marginal renewal capacity
Extent of injury
the magnitude of injury may exceed regeneration capacity
presence or absence of ongoing inflammation
due to concurrent infection or other factors, continued release of inflammatory mediators may disrupt balance toward repair
underlying disease
may impair proliferative response or remodeling (eg diabetes)
What are three options for wound treatment
-primary intention
-secondary intention
-tertiary intention
primary intention
-wound is closed, with surgical intervention
-edges are brought together
-best choice for clean, fresh wounds, in sufficiently vascularized areas
secondary intention
-wound is left open and allowed to heal spontaneously
-good for contaminated/infected wounds
-increased scarring
