Wound Repair 2 Flashcards
Autocrine
Cells respond to signaling molecules that they themselves secrete
Autocrine loop
Can cause growth regulation
Paracrine
Ligand released from one cell
Travels and binds to receptors on another nearby cell
Necessary for hepatocyte replication during liver regeneration
Endocrine
hormones synthesized and released into blood
travels to targets far away
Intrinsic Tyrosine Kinase
respond to most growth factors
extracellular binding domain, transmembrane portion, cytoplasmic tail with tyrosine kinase activity
ligand bind–>dimerization of receptor, tyrosine auto phosphorylation, goes to effectors
Lacking Intrinsic Tyrosine Kinase Activity
recruits kinases
Activate JAK link receptors and activate cytoplasmic TFs
STATs–>nucleus–>activate gene transcription
G-Proteins
Signals through GTP-binding proteins
7 Transmembrane alpha helices
Chemokines, vasopressin, 5HT, histamine, etc
Lot’s of drugs use this pathway
Steroid receptors
located in nucleus
ligand-dependent TFs
Binds hormone response elements within target genes and other TFs
Thyroid hormone, vitamin D, retinoids, etc
Peroxisome proliferator-activated receptors
nuclear receptors
Involved in broad range of responses, adipogenesis, inflammation, atherosclerosis, etc.
Transcription Factors
modulate gene transcription
Regulate cell proliferation (c-MYC and c-JUN)
Can activate cell cycle inhibiting genes (p53)
Domains for DNA binding
What is the source of cells for regeneration that is lost in mammals?
No blastema formation
Wnt/B-catenin
modulates stem cell functions, liver regeneration after partial hepatectomy, stimulate oval cell proliferation after injury
Compensatory hyperplasia in remaining parts of organ
Nephrectomy
Able to grow contralateral kidney after unilateral nephrectomy
Nephron hypertrophy
Replication of proximal tubule cells
Pancreas regeneration
able to regenerate Beta cells
Transdifferentiation of ductal cells
Differentiation of putative stem cells
Liver Regeneration
Can grow after partial hepatectomy
Resection of 60% of donor sees doubling of liver remnant within 1 month
Compensatory Growth
Triggered by cytokines and GFs
Queiscent cells triggered by TNF and IL-6
Individual hepatocytes replicate once/twice during regeneration
TGF-A on Liver
Autocrine activity will not trigger hepatocyte proliferation
ECM Functions
Mechanical support
Control of cell growth
Maintenance of cell differentiation
Scaffoliding of tissue
Establishment of tissue microenvironments
Storage and presentation of regulatory molecules
