(49 cards)
clinically relevant histamine synthesis Circulating granulocytes of the immune system-
basophils
clinically relevant histamine synthesis tissue resident granulocytes of the immune system
mast cells
clinically relevant histamine synthesis in the central nervous system that use histamine as a neurotransmitter-
neurons
clinically relevant histamine synthesis in the gastric mucosa-
enterochromaffin-like cells
Pyridoxal 5 phosphate the active form of B6 is a coenzyme that makes ______ from_____.
histamine histidine
the slow turning over pool of histamines synthesis and storage-
mast cells and basophils
Histamine is stored in the granules in these inflammatory cells-
mast cells and basophils
A complete degranulation of these cells releases histamine
mast cells and basophils
Release of histamine(degranulation) from mast cells and basophils is triggered by-
allergic processes-anaphylaxis or cell destruction
the rapidly turning overpool/made on demand histamine synthesis and storage-
gastric mucosa-enterochromaffin-like cells
And neuron
enterochromaffin-like cells And neuron do or do not store histamine?
do not store histamine
Synthesis on demand involves up regulation induction of ?
histidine decarboxylase
degranulation triggered by allergic processes, anaphylaxis(immunological release), IGE mediated hypersensitivity reaction requires what?
energy and calcium(exocytosis)
Cellular injury or destruction by trauma(mechanical release), cytolytic release and chemically mediated release by peptides toxins or venoms, Does or does not require energy
does not require energy
Triggered by allergic processes, anaphylaxis(immunological release), ige mediated hypersensitivity reaction, happens due to exposure of the appropriate antigen, requires energy and calcium(exocytosis)?
degranulation of mast cells /basophils
Allergy induced mast cell degranulation requires¬______separate exposures to the allergen
what happens during the initial exposure?
what happens with the subsequent exposure?
two
initial exposure, b lymphocytes secrete allergen specific IgE antibodies. IgE molecules bind to FCeRI receptors on mast cells/basophils
subsequent exposure, allergen binds to the IgE/Fc receptor complexes on the mast cell surface and causes degranulation
Ige mediated hypersensitivity reaction is the key feature of what condition?
asthma
Name some drugs they prevent mast cell degranulation and the release of inflammatory mediators such as histamine, leukotrienes and cytokines-
Cromolyn
Nedocromil
Albuterol, Metaproterenol-beta two agonist
histamine release causes five things. list them
vasodilation
increase vascular permeability, leading to edema
sensitization and activation of peripheral nerve endings
contraction of bronchial smooth muscle
contraction of gastrointestinal smooth muscle
the triple response(red spot, edema, flare-involves what three cell types?
activation of histamine H1 receptor cells
- on the vascular endothelial cells-leads to endothelial cell contraction it causes increased capillary permeability edema, NO production causes relaxation of the vascular smooth muscle
- on vascular smooth muscle dilation of terminal arterioles, venous constriction-redness and erythema
- on sensory nerve endings depolarization of afferent nerve terminals causes sensization-which leads to tingling itch pain(flare)
the H1 receptor is coupled with what type of G protein?
GQ Phospholipase c IP3 Dag increase intracellular calcium
Mast cell release of histamine activates Histamine H1 receptors, what does that do to peripheral nociceptors?
Lowers the threshold for action potential generation/sensitizes
direct depolarizing action on afferent nerve terminals-Activation of peripheral nerve endings(nociceptors)
What four places does histamine cause contraction of smooth muscle cells?
lung
gastrointestinal tract
the iris
the uterus
An ige mediated hypersensitivity reaction initiated by a previously sensitized individual the causes hypotension, bronchoconstriction, epiglottal swelling is termed?
Anaphylaxis
