Wound healing Flashcards
what are labile cells?
Little time in G0 and are in skin, lungs, GIT, GUT
What are stable cells?
Need to be injured in order to be simulated, in liver, kidney tubules, mesenchymal tissue
What are permanent cells?
Do not replace with functional tissue but rather with scar that impedes function–in neurons, cardiac muscle, skeletal muscle
Secreted by platelets and macrophages; stimulates vascular remodeling (vasodilation and vascular permeability, fibroblasts growth and fibroblast production of collagen I and III
Platelet derived Growth Factor (PDGF)
What clinical outcome in woundhealing gone crazy is PDGF involved in?
hypertrophic scars and keloid
Stimulates angiogensis and fibrosis (through SMADs) and inhibit proliferation of other cells (leading to inflammation)
Transforming Growth Factor-Beta (TGF-B)
Released by platelets at first and then by leukocytes, macrophages, fibroblasts and keratinocytes
TGF-B
What are the general roles of FGF?
chemotaxis, wound healing, angiogenesis, collagen production
What do FGF1&2 do?
stimulate angiogenesis and enhance fibroblasts activity, and controls skeletal development
What does FGF7 do?
cell proliferation
What happens when there is mutation in FGFR3?
Achondroplasia ( due to overgrowth of immature chondrocytes)
Stimulates angiogensis for wound healing, embryogenesis, collateral circulation (compensation when capillaries are blocked)
Vascular Endothelial Growth Factors (VEGF)
Cell proliferation through RTK and mut related to cancer
Epidermal Growth Factor (EGF)
What is connective tissues made up of?
Cells (fibroblasts and myofibroblasts, mast cells, macrophages), ground substance (proteoglycans, adhesive glycoproteins) and fibers
Important role of Vit. C in collagen production?
Hydroxylation of Proline and lysine
Where is type I collagen found in? necessary for?
Bone, skin, tendons, cornea; wound healing (last stage)
Where is type II collagen found?
cartilage, vitreous humor, nucleus pulposus
Where is type III collagen found? also called? necessary for?
Blood vessels, fetus uterus, reticular fibers; reticulin; early found healing/granulation tissue
Where is type IV collagen found?
Basement membrane (basal lamina) and lens
Where does Hydroxylation, Glycosylation and triple helix formation of collagen take place?
rough ER
What is collagen transcribed as?
Preprocollagen
How do you form insoluble tropocollagen and where does it take place?
cleave the terminal region and it takes place extracellularly
How do lysine and hydroxylysine crosslink in tropocollagen?
Lysyl oxidase and copper–leads tot collagen fibrils formation
autoimmune attack on collagen IV chain, hemorhage in lungs and kidney (hemoptosis –cough blood– and hematuria)
Goodpasture’s disease
What happens when you produce less collagen?
aging, wrinkles
Vit. C def leads to swollen gums, bleeding, poor wound healing?
Scurvy
Sx: Aut dom mut. in Collagen I (two types), brittle bones, multiple factors, loose joints, hearing loss, poor teeth, blue sclera?
Osteogensis Imperfecta
How does blue Sclera happen?
Lack of collagen so eye lining is thin-so white part of eye is thin so you can see underlying veins –thus blue
heterogeneity due to defective collagen synth. of skin, joints and blood vessels
Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome
Sx: Hyperextensible skin, joint instability (hypermobile), easy bleeding and bruising, abnormal wound healing, vessel wall degeneration (heart valves –weak)
Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome
Types of Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome
Classical: Type V collagen
Vascular: Type III collagen (organ rupture, valve prolapse, most severe, blood vessel wall not sturdy)
Describe Elastin?
insoluble, tropoelastin, little hydroxyproline no hydroxylysine
What links Elastin molecules?
Desmosine and isodesmosine
What is Fribrillin 1?
Scaffolding protein thats around elastin coded by FBN1 and binds and sequesters TGF-B
What is elastin fibers broken down by?
Elastase
What happens when you have alpha-1-antitrypsin def.?
Lungs have holes (emphysema) as bombarded with neutrophils elastase; (similar featuresalso seen in smoking
Mut. in FBN1 leads to?
Marfan syndrome and excess TGF-B so decreased elasticity
Sx: (wingspan> height) Dolichostenmelia, arachnodactyly, scoliosis, hyperflexibility, inverted sternum, pectus excavatum
Marfan syndrome
Sx: Eyes: ectopia lens, CV: aneurysms, aortic dissection –mitral valve prolapse and spontanrous pneumothorax
Marfan Syndrom
Most severe cause of death in Marfan syndrome
Mitral valve prolapse
What is loose connective tissue?
loosely arranged fibers, much ground subs, most abundant type; holds organs in place, allows for movement of nutrients and ions to cells
Example loose connective tissue?
Lamina propria: GI Tract, have immune cells, immediately below epithelial.
What is dense irregular connective tissue? Where is it?
few cells, irregularly arranged cells, submucosa of GIT, and reticular layer of dermis
What is dense regular connective tissue? where is it?
densely packed, parallel, organized fibers, few cells; tendons, ligaments, aponeuroses
