Tissue Repair Flashcards
Chronic inflammation heals how?
Fibrosis.
How is Regeneration of stable tissue achieved?
Compensatory growth.
How is Regeneration of renewing tissue achieved?
Regrowing.
What leads to commitment of stem cells to differentiate into specific cells?
Activation of key regulatory proteins by growth factors and cytokines.
What does the Transduciton systems require to function?
Cell-surface receptors
Transduction system that has tyrosine kinase receptors bind to what?
Growth factor.
What happens when growth factor binds to a tyrosine kinase receptor?
Dimerization and autophosphorylation of tyrosine residue.
With a partial hepatectomy what happens during DNA replication?
incorporation of tritiated thymidine.
What does an activated RAS from a bridging potein activate?
RAF or MAP kinase kinase kinase
What does RAF phophorylate?
MEK or MAP kinase kinase
What does MEK phosphrylate?
ERK or Map Kinase
What does ERK phosphorylate?
Cytoplasmic proteins and nuclear transcription factors
With a partial hepatectomy what happens during DNA replication?
incorporation of tritiated thymidine.
What happens with a partial hepatectomy?
Remaining part enlarges. The missing part is not replaced.
What are the 3 stages of activating something to undergo enlargment?
- Priming.
- Proliferation.
- Growth inhibition.
What signals the priming stage of tissue regeneration?
Cytokines: TNF, IL-6, others ( to cause the cells to enter the cell cycle.)
What will activate the proliferation stage of tissue regeneration?
Growth factors: HGF, TGF-alpha, others. (to make the cells progress through the cell cycle and undergo DNA replication)
What will inhibit growth?
TGF-Beta, Activin, others.
What are the adjuvants (helpers) of the proliferation phase?
Norepinephrine, insulin, thyroid hormone, growth hormone.
What are the major components of the ECM?
Collagen, proteoglycans, and adhesive glycoproteins.
What vitamin is needed for HO-ization?
Ascorbic acid. (Vitamin C)
