Unit IV Week 1 Flashcards
Fusion in mitochondria
GTPase?
Mutations?
repairs damage
Mfn and OPA1
autosomal dominant optic atrophy, CMT 2A, ROS
Fission in mitochondira
GTPase?
Mutations?
required for mitophagy
Fis1 and Drp
ROS
TOM/GIP
translocase of outer membrane
passive, facilitated diffusion
TIM
translocase of inner membrane
gated channel with active transport
protein enters by N’, unwound
Hsp70 rewinds
1e- = ____ H+
____ H+ = 1 ATP
1e- = 5 H+
3 H+ = 1 ATP
ATP synthase F1
bound to F0
enzyme that makes ATP
ATP synthase F0
spans inner membrane, H+ channel
____ is final electron acceptor in ETC and makes _____
O2, H20
problems lead to ROS
Mitochondrial regulation of cell death
Bak/Bax make outer membrane permeable
Cytochrome C leaks into cytoplasm
Binds complex and forms apoptosome
Activates caspases
Ischemic injury leading to necrotic cell death
MPTP makes inner/outer membrane permeable
Cytochrome C release and disruption of H+ gradient
No ATP production (ATPsynth = ATPase)
Mitochondrial dysfunction consequences
Can't produce ATP Produces ROS (oxidize proteins, lipids, DNA)
Quality control
Mitochondrial proteases:
mAAA (mutation = hereditary spastic paraplegia)
iAAA
Lon
Fusion/fisson (redistribute or mitophagy)
Apoptosis
Arsenic toxin mechanism
inhibits oxidative phosphorylation and ATP production
Epithelial to mesenchymal transition
Epithelial loses polarity and cell adhesions
Migrates and becomes invasive
Functions of epithelial tissues
protection selective transport/absorption/secretion biochemical modification and processing sensory reception transduction communication
Apical and basal polarity
Differences in:
transporters, ion channels, exo/endocytosis receptors, cell-cell, cell-lamina
Cytoplasm is also polarized
Cell junctions: tight junctions
highly selective
limit/control diffusion between cells
Core proteins: occludins, claudins
Cell junctions: adherence junctions
promote attachment, polarity, organization
decide stem cell behavior
Core protein: cadherins (actin to cyto)
Cell junctions: desmosomes
mechanical strength
resist shearing forces
Core protein: cadherins (intermediate filament to cyto)
Cell junctions: gap junctions
rapid communication between cells
joint cytoplasm
Apical modifications to epithelial cells
microvilli (actin bundles, increase surface area)
ex: stereocilia sensory cells (ear)
cilia
primary cilium (controls proliferation, fate, and function)
motile cilia
sensory cilia
Basolateral modifications to epithelial cells
infolds/outfolds to increase surface area
unorganized
seen in transport dependent cells
Components of basal lamina
collagen (type IV, network)
glycoproteins
laminins
entactin
Functions of basal lamina
- attach epithelia to underlying CT (via hemidesmosomes and focal adhesions, both using integrins)
- filtrations to/from epithelia
- establish/maintain polarity
- highways for cell migration through CT
- barrier to microbes/cancer
- control gene expression to affect proliferation
- scaffolding function - repair
2 ways cells can secrete
exocytosis
total cell disintegration
Exocrine glands
small consistent output (can be upregulated)
unidirectional secretion onto apical side
have secretory units: alveoli, acinar, tubular
have ducts: simple/compound
Endocrine glands
Hormonal control
no ducts, secrete to blood
surrounded by basal lamina and CT
secreted through basal lamina
Types of exocrine glands
- mucous (viscous, glycoprotein)
- serous (watery, salts)
- mixed
4 characteristics of stem cells
- competent for cell divsion
- self re-new (create mother)
- produce differentiated cells types specific to epithelia
- divide very slowly (lots of regulation)
Transit amplifying cells
daughter cells of stem cells that proliferate faster
Principles of stem cell pathways
Each path used by distinct cell lines/organs
Single path triggers different effects in different cell lines
Some examples of stem cell pathways/signal systems
- Wnt
- Shh
- TGF-ß
- Notch
- RTK (ex. EGFR, tx: Tarceva [erlotinib] anti=tumor
- FGF
Carcinoma
cancer with epithelial origin
Adenocarcinoma
cancer with glandular epithelial origin
Therapeutic targets for cancer
Signal systems that control development
Internal cell cycle control factors
Factors that control DNA repair
Factors that control apoptosis
Cystic fibrosis pattern of inheritance
mutation
Autosomal recessive
Chr 7 - CFTR gene, F508del
Cystic fibrosis pathophysiology
Problems in salt and water movement
Thick secretions
Cystic fibrosis clinical signs
Sinus: chronic infections, nasal polyps Lung: recurrent infections, bronchiectasis Pancreas: exocrine pancreatic insufficiency (85%) greasy, bulky stool malabsorption, CF diabetes meconium ileus no vas deferens clubbing increased sweat chloride
Cystic fibrosis screening
newborn screen - asymptomatic or meconium ileus (15%)
older children - failure to thrive, abnormal stool
