What is inflammation
response to injury by vascularized living tissue
-
What can elicit inflammation
- microbial infection
- physical agents, chemicals, necrotic tissue, immune reaction
-
Role of inflammation
- contain and isolate injury
- destroy microorganisms
- inactivate toxins
- prepare tissue for healing and repair
-
Characteristics of inflammation
- two main; vascular wall response and inflammatory cell response
- termination when invader is eliminated
-
General acute inflammation
- early onset
- short duration
- fluid exudation, edema
- nutrophil migration
-
General chronic inflammation
- later onset, days
- longer duration, weeks to years
- involves lymphocytes and macrophages
- new blodd vessels
- scaring
-
four signs of inflammation
-
Exudate
- extravascular fluid of a high protein concentration
- SG above 1.02
-
-
Transudate
- extravascular fluid with little protein
- SG below 1.012
-
Vascular change with acute edema
- Dilation; causes increased flow and increased hydrostatic pressure
- increased vascular permeability; causes exudation
- Net fluid outflow
- stasis can occur with a large fluid lose increasing viscosity and slowing blood flow; allows white cells to accumulate and begin to migrate
-
Pathways to increased vascular permeability
- venule gaps; endothelial cells contract ( histamine immediate, IL1 and TNF in 4-6 hours)
- Direct endothelial injury; burns, affects arterials capillaries and venues
- delayed prolonged leakage; 2-12 hour delay, ;sat for days, sunburn and X-rays, venules and capillaries
- Leukocyte mediated endothelial injury; release of oxygen species
- increased transendothelial channels; VEGF
- leakage from new vessels; angiogenesis results in leaky vessels until the vessel matures
-
Three steps of extravasation
- margination
- transmigration; diapedesis
- migration; chemotaxis
-
Selectins bind to
- sailyl lewis X, GP
- P selectin glicoprotein ligand, PSGL-1
-
ICAM/VCAM
- LFA-1 and MAC-1 / VLA4
- intigrens
- ICAM leukocytes
- VCAM eosinophils, monocytes, lymphosytes
-
PECAM
- CD32
- leukocyte migration through endothelium
-
Affects of chemokines and cytokines
- redistribution of preformed adhesion molecules to cell surface
- induction of adhesion molecules on endothelium, IL1 and TNF increase endothelial expression of selections and intigrins
- Increased avidity to binding; most imoirtant fo intigrens
-
Steps of neutrophil transmigration
- endothelial activation; increase selection expression, IL1 and TNF
- rolling; helped by blood stasis,
- integrin activation and stable binding, cytokines increase integrin avidity
- transmigration, PECAM platelet endothelial cell adhesion molecule
-
What cell emigrates to site of inflammation acute/chronic
- neutrophile / macrophage
- 6-24h / 24-48h
-
Chemotaxic cell receptors
- G protein coupled
- activates phospholipase c, increase in DAG and IP3, increased calcium, increased GTPase activity, activates movement by pseudopods
-
Toll like receptors
involved in leukocyte activation and response to microbes
-
Two major benefits of neutrophils and macrophages at inflammation site
phagosytosis and enzyme release
-
Two major opsonins
C3b, Fc fragment
-
Three steps of phagocytosis
- recognition

- killing
-
Two components of the oxygen burst
- H2O2, NADPH oxidase

-
Lysosomal enzymes may be released outside the cell

- premature fusion of forming phagosome with lysosome
- damage by ingested material, urate crystals
-
LAD-1
- leukocyte adhesion deficiency
- defective synthesis of LFA-1 and MAC-1 (Beta1 intigrens)
-
LAD-2
- loss of silly lewis X
- selectin ligand
-
Chediak-Higashi syndrome
Defective lysosome enzyme delivery to phagosome
-
Chronic granuloma disease
inherent defect in NADPH oxidase
-
Termination of acute response
- Mediators are only produced in quick bursts and have short half lives
- anti-inflammatory cytokines TGF-B
-
Vasoactive Amines
- histomine, seritonin
- Increased vascular permeability
- mast cells, basophils and plts
- Mest cell release by IgE, C3a, C5a, IL1 and IL8
- platelet release by ADP, collogen, thrombin, PAF
-
Most important step in compliment
- activation of C3
- C3 convertase
- Classical pathway, C1 fixation to antigen
- Alternative pathway, microbial surface endotoxin
- Lectin pathway, C1 is activated by mannose binding
-
Membrane attack complex
C3b cleaves C5 to C5 a and b, C5b binds to 6-9 forming MAC
-
Two biologic functions of compliment
- MAC induced cell lysis
- Compliment incduced canges in vascular permability, chemotaxis, opsinization
-
C3a and C5a
- anaphalatoxins
- stimulate histamine release from mast cells
- increase vascular permeability and vasodilation
-
Two regulators of compliment
- DAF, decay regulating factor
- C1 inhibitor
-
Paroxysmal nocturmal hemoglobinuria
- Defercts in DAF
- recurrent compliment mediated red cell lysis and anemia
-
Hereditary angioneurotic edema
- C1 inhibitor defect
- life threatening edema
-
Kinin system
- kininogens are cleaved by kallikreins to generate bradykinin
- causes vasodilation, increased vascular permeability, and pain
- Initiated by factor XIIa
- Also activates factor XII
-
Clotting system is linked to inflammation
thrombin causes leukocyte adhesion to endothelium
-
How does plasmin contribute to inflammation
- cleaves C3
- forms fibrin split products, increased vascular permeability
- activates XII
-
