Q

what is compensatory hypertrophy? in what organs does it take place?

A

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)

Q

what is the difference between when regeneration and healing occur (ie what situations are required for each process)?

A
  • regeneration requires intact tissue scaffolding (basement membranes especially)
  • healing occurs when the tissue scaffolding has been altered or destroyed

Q

what is the difference between the what is formed in the regeneration versus healing processes?

A
  • 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)

Q

what is the consequence of chronic ischemic heart disease?

A

scaring

  • collagen placed between myocardial cells

Q

what kinds of factors activate receptors without kinase activity?

A

cytokines

21
Q

what is the down-stream effect of g-protein coupled receptors?

A
  • release Ca2+ and/or generate cAMP
  • changes cytoskeleton
22
Q

what factors activate G-protein coupled receptors?

A

chemokines

23
Q

what do kinases do?

A

put phosphates on proteins

24
Q

what processes does wound healing involve?

A
  1. controlled cell division
  2. thrombosis
  3. cell migration
  4. differentiation
  5. secretion of new extracellular matrix components
25
Q

what are the steps in wound healing?

A
  1. induction of an inflammatory process in response to the initial injury - thrombosis here
  2. removal of damaged or dead tissue
  3. proliferation and migration of parenchymal and connective tissue cells - fibroblasts predominately but macrophages too
  4. formation of new blood vessels and granulation tissue
  5. synthesis of ECM proteins and collagen deposition
  6. tissue remodeling
  7. wound contraction
  8. acquisition of wound strength
26
Q

what are the key players in tissue repair and wound healing (list - summary card)?

A

1: leukocytes - predominately neutrophils and macrophages
2: coagulation cascade
3: extracellular matrix
4: cytokines
5: chemokines
6: growth factors
7: adhesion molecules
8: cell migration

27
Q

what are integrins? (structure, location, function)

A
  • heterodimers
  • transmembrane proteins with laminin fibers on ends
  • help cells connect to extracellular matrix
  • can mediate cytoskeletal changes
28
Q

what do integrins interact with?

A

ECM proteins including collagen, fibronectin, laminin, peptidoglycans

29
Q

how do cells detect changes in their connectivity with the ECM?

A

integrins are connected to the cell’s cytoskeleton

if there’s a change in what the integrins are connected to outside of the cell, they can change their connections inside the cell

30
Q

what are the components of the ECM? (list)

A
  • collagen - elastin, fibrillin, and elastic fibers
  • adhesive glycoproteins (fibronectin, laminin)
  • matricellular proteins (SPARC (osteonectin, thrombospondins, osteopontin, tenacin)
  • proteoglycans (heparan, condrotin, dermatan sulfates)
31
Q

what does collagen I look like under EM?

A

dense periodicity long cables - each cable composed of three molecules wound together

32
Q

how is collagen made?

A
  1. proteins synthesized in ER
  2. individual proteins capped at each end = prepropeptide
  3. cap keeps them from aggregating inside cell
  4. go to golgi - posttranslational modification - here they’re wound into helix (trimer)
  5. trimer with endcaps secreted into ECM as procollagen
  6. enzyme in ECM clips off cap - now they can aggregate
33
Q

what builds up strength between collagen fibers?

A

crosslinking between lysines

34
Q

what is the most abundant collagen? where is it found?

A

type I

ubiquitous - in skin, bone, etc.

35
Q

what type of collagen is in scars?

A

collagen type I

36
Q

where is collagen type II found?

A
  • cartilage
  • vitreous humor of eye
37
Q

where is collagen type IV found?

A

basement membranes

38
Q

how do basement membranes become specific for a particular organ (ie what makes them specific)?

A

depends on the procollagen that is combined to make the type IV collagen

39
Q

what are the components of the basement membrane?

A

1: type IV collagen - various combinations of different chain types
2: laminin
3: entactin
4: heparan sulfate proteoglycan

40
Q

what is laminin composed of (chains)? what is its structure? what is it necessary for?

A

one alpha chain, two beta chains

makes a cross structure

crticial for cell attachment

41
Q

what is entactin?

A
  • single polypeptide chain in surface of cell membrane
  • interacts with glycoproteins on the outside
  • function unknown
42
Q

what are proteoglycans (structurally)? what do they do?

A

charged molecules with lots of sugars

43
Q

laminin has binding sites for what molecules? which subunits contain which binding sites?

A
  • collagen type IV on the B1 chain
  • heparan sulfate on the A chain
  • cell-binding domain at the point where all chains meet
44
Q

where is fibronectin made? where is found in the body?

A
  • made constitutively in the liver
  • present in plasma
  • leaks into tissue when there’s vascular leakage
45
Q

what does fibronectin do?

A
  • “glue”
  • sticks everything together when there’s tissue damage
46
Q

what can fibronectin bind to?

A
  • heparan sulfate
  • fibrin
  • collagen
  • integrin - where will bind to cells
47
Q

how are proteoglycans arranged in the ECM?

A
  • randomly
  • loop between cells
48
Q

what do proteoglycans in the ECM do?

A
  • sugars bind GF, chemokines, some cytokines
  • will allow for gradient of these signaling molecules to form
49
