Q

Fibrinoid necrosis

A

special form of necrosis usually seen in immune reactions involving blood vessels

occurs when Ag-Ab complexes are deposited in the walls of arteries

deposits of these “immune complexes,” together with fibrin that has leaked out of vessels, result in a bright pink and amorphous appearance in H&E stains, called “fibrinoid” (fibrin-like) by pathologists

81

Fibrinoid necrosis

82
Q

Apoptosis

A
  • a pathway of cell death (others include cell death with autophagy and keratinocyte cornification
  • induced by a tightly regulated suicide program
  • cells destined to die activate intrinsic enzymes that degrade the cells’ own nuclear DNA and nuclear and cytoplasmic proteins
  • apoptotic cells break up into fragments, called apoptotic bodies, which contain portions of the cytoplasm and nucleus
  • plasma membrane:
     remains intact
     its structure is altered to become “tasty” targets for phagocytes
83
Q

Is there inflammation in necrosis?

A

NO!!!!

84
Q

Apoptosis in some physiologic processes

A

Programmed cell death during embryogenesis

Hormone-dependent involution of organs in the adult (e.g., thymus, uterus- post-parturition)

Cell deletion in proliferating cell populations (intestinal epith. Turnover)

Deletion of auto-reactive T-cells in the thymus (by cytotoxic T-cells)

85

87
Q

88
Q

Apoptosis: Mechanisms

A

Specific feature: activation of caspases (cyteine proteases family)

Initiator caspases: 9 & 8
Executioner caspases: 3 & 6

Intrinsic pathway = mitochondrial pathway

Extrinsic pathway = death receptor-initiated pathw

89
Q

Intrinsic pathway

A

Major mechanism of apoptosis in all mammalian cells

Result of ↑ mitochondrial permeability & release of pro- apoptotic molecules (death inducers) into the cytoplasm

Cytochrome-C: essential for life; released into cytoplasminitiates suicide program of apoptosis

Controlled of release by: pro- and anti-apoptotic members of the Bcl family of proteins

90
Q

Anti-apoptotic proteins:

A
  • Bcl-2, Bcl-X, Mcl-1

Can directly inhibit Apaf-1 (Apoptotic protease activating factor 1) activation Loss from cells may permit activation of Apaf-1
Apaf-1 binds to apoptosome to activate Caspase-9
Present within the mitochondria membranes and the cytoplasm

91
Q

Pro-apoptotic proteins:

A

Pro-apoptotic proteins:

Bim, Bid, Bad [BH3-only proteins]: Sensors of damage/stress

Bak, Bax: effectors

92
Q

Extrinsic pathway

A

Initiated by death receptors

Death receptors: members of TNF receptor family

  1. Death domain
  2. Best known type: TNF receptor (TNFR1) & Fas (CD95)

Fas-L: Expressed on T-cells that identify self Ag & some Cytotoxic-T cells (perforin, granzymes)

Forming a binding site for an adapter protein, that also contains a death domain: FADD (Fas associated death domain)

Ligand for Fas

FADD in turn binds an inactive Caspase- 8active caspase-8

Activation of execution phase of apoptosis

Can be inhibited by protein FLIP (binds pro- caspase-8 but cannot cleave and activate the caspase)

used by some viruses & normal cells to protect themselves from Fas-mediated apoptosis

93
Q

Removal of apoptotic cells

Apoptotic bodies

A

edible for phagocytes

expressed phospholipids in the outer layer of the membrane (instead inner leaflet) to be ID by MQ receptors

may become coated w/ natural Ab & proteins of the complement system (C1q)

94
Q

Apoptotic cells

A

secrete soluble factors that recruit phagocytes

some express thrombospondin (adhesine glycoprotein that is ID by phagocytes)

MQ may produce proteins that bind to apoptotic cells (not to live cells) for engulfment

95
Q

Disorders associated with dysregulated apoptosis

A

A. Disorders associated with defective apoptosis and ↑cell survival (Abnormal cells survive)

  • cells w/mutations in p53 are subjected to DNA damage, not only fail to die but are susceptible to the accumulation of mutations because of defective DNA repair, these can give rise to NEOPLASIA
  • limphocytes that react against self-Ag
  • failure to eliminate dead cells (potential source of self-Ag)

Above seen in autoimmune disorders

106
Q

Necroptosis

A

Necroptosis (programmed necrosis)
Resembles necrosis morphologically and apoptosis mechanistically as a form of

Necroptosis is triggered by ligation of TNFR1, and viral proteins of RNA and DNA viruses.

Necroptosis is caspase-independent but dependent on signaling by the RIP1 and RIP3 complex.

Occurs in: mammalian bone growth plate; associated with cell death in steatohepatitis, acute pancreatitis, reperfusion injury, and neurodegenerative diseases

Release of cellular contents evokes an inflammatory reaction as in necrosis.
