Tissue healing and repair 08 22 14 Flashcards
regeneration
growth of cells and tissues to replace lost structures
usually what happesn to labile cells
no scar
healing with scar formation
occurs when complete restitution is not possible
usually collagen (fibrosis) gives structural support
usual response to severe/chronic damage in lung, liver, kidneys
components of tissue repair after injury
remnants of injured tissue
endothelial cells
fibroblasts
how are dead cells replaced in labile and stable tissues after injury?
stem cells undergo asymmetric replication
what growth factors induce angiogenesis in tissue repair?
vascular endothelial growth factors VEGF
fibroblast growth factors FGF
what growth factors induce production of ECM in tissue repair?
platelet-derived growth factors PDGF
transforming growth factor-beta TGF-beta
two forms of ECM
interstitial matrix
basement membrane
role of ECM
mechanical support
regulate cell proliferation (through integrins)
PROVIDES SCAFFOLD essential for healing without scar
storage of growth factors-fibroblast growth factor, hepatocyte growth factor
creates microenvironment
components of ECM
fibrous structural proteins: collagen and elastin
proteoglycans and hyaluronans-highly hydrated gels for compressibility
adhesive glycoproteins and receptors (fibronectin, laminin, adhesion molecules)
Ehlers Danlos syndrome
genetic defect in collagen synthesis or structure
Marfan syndrome
mutation affecting fibrillin-a major compoentn of microfibrils in ECM
so results in:
degeneration of aorta (aneurysm and dilatation)
dislocated lens
long legs, arms, fingers
repair by connective tissue (scar formation) occurs when?
severe or chronic tissue injury w/ destruc of stroma
injury of non-dividing cells
4 sequential steps of repair by connective tissue (scar formation)
angiognenesis
fibroblast migration and proliferation
ECM deposition (scar formation)
maturation of fibrous tissue (remodeling)
granulation tissue
specialized tissue in healing
present by 3-5 days (with new vessels, inflammatory cells, fibroblasts)
what causes vasodilatation for angiogenesis in tissue repair?
NO
vascular endothelial growth factor VEGF
