wound healing and tissue repair I - lecture notes - julia Flashcards
what is the end result of wound healing and tissue repair?
formation of a collagenous scar
what is compensatory hypertrophy? in what organs does it take place?
when stable tissues regenerate after a portion has been removed in liver and kidney (so if you remove half of a liver, it’ll grow back)
what is the difference in the end result of healing between a wound and chronic inflammation?
- wounds result in scar formation
- chronic inflammation results in fibrosis
what is the functional ability of scar tissue?
nonfunctional except for holding tissue together
what is fibrosis?
diffuse scaring in the organ due to chronic inflammation
what is the difference between when regeneration and healing occur (ie what situations are required for each process)?
- regeneration requires intact tissue scaffolding (basement membranes especially)
- healing occurs when the tissue scaffolding has been altered or destroyed
what is the difference between the what is formed in the regeneration versus healing processes?
- in regeneration, new cells in tissue/organ are derived from division of stabile cells or new cells from stem cells
- healing involves combination of creation of new tissue cells and collagen deposition (fibrosis/scaring)
what is the difference between the ability of regeneration and healing to return tissues to their normal state?
in regeneration, normal state is reestablished, whereas in healing, totally normal state is never reestablished
what determines the degree of dysfunction an organ that has undergone healing will exhibit?
the amount of collagen that is deposited in the healing process
what is the consequence of chronic ischemic heart disease?
scaring
- collagen placed between myocardial cells
- eventually heart barely functional because there’s so much collagen diffusely present
what regulates cell proliferation (list)?
1: hormonal influences
2: growth stimuli (during the growth years)
3: pathological stimuli
what regulates cell division in most stabile cell populations (list)?
1: soluble stimulatory factors
2: soluble inhibitory factors
3: cell-cell contact (contact inhibition)
what can increase cell proliferation in order to repair damage (list)?
1: shortening cell cycle
2: pushing the stabile cells into the cell cycle
3: stimulating stem cells to generate parenchymal cells
describe the changes in the cell population in normal adult tissues?
there really isn’t any
remains static or self-sustaining
what are the receptor classes involved in transmembrane signaling (list)?
1: receptors with kinase activity
2: receptors without inherent catalytic function
3: g-protein coupled receptors
what are the transduction systems involved in transmembrane signaling?
1: MAP kinase (ras activation)
2: phosphoinositide-3 (PI-3) kinase (PIP2 and lipids)
3: inositol-lipid (IP3)
4: cyclic AMP (protein kinase A)
5: JAK/STAT
what types of pathways do kinase coupled receptors activate?
- PI3
- IP3
- MAPK
what type of factors activate kinase coupled receptors?
most growth factors
what pathways do receptors without kinase activity activate?
JAK/STAT pathways
