Phagocytosis process (3 steps)
1. Recognition/attachment of particle 2. Engulfment + formation of phagocytic vacuole 3. Killing/degradation
26
Chemotactic factors of leukocytes include:
IL-8 C5a LTB4
27
Leukocyte Recruitment to inflammation steps (5)
1. Margination 2. Rolling 3. Adhesion 4. Transmigration/diapedesis 5. Migration in interstitial tissue to injury
28
Steps of leukocyte recruitment: Margination
Fibrinogens cause circulating leukocytes aggregate into rouleaux in the venules aka now marginating leukocytes.
29
Steps of leukocyte recruitment: Rolling of neutrophils
Happens in the venules where selectins on neutrophils and endothelial cells bind to each other "speed bumps." L-selectin is on neutrophils (bind GlyCam-1 endo) P&E-selectin are on endothelium (bind Sialyl-Lewis x-mod glycoprotein neutrophil) IL-1 & TNF stimulate the expression of selectins
30
Where is P-selectin formed?
Wiebel Palade bodies in vascular endothelial cells
31
Steps of leukocyte recruitment: Adhesion of neutrophils
Integrins bind and firmly adhere the neutrophil to the endothelium: VCAM & ICAM (Vascular endothelium) MAC-1, LFA-1, & VLA-4 (Neutrophil)
32
Steps of leukocyte recruitment: Transmigration/Diapedesis
Mostly in the post-capillary venules, chemokines help leukocytes move through interendothelial spaces to reach sites of inflammation PECAM-1 (intercellular junctions) C5A LTB4
33
Leukocytes use __________ to breach the basement membrane and enter interstitial tissues
collagenases
34
Chronic Granulomatous disease
35
Pseudomembranous inflammation
36
CGD
37
Ulcerative inflammation
38
Purulent/suppurative inflammation
39
Fibrous inflammation
40
Chediak Higashi syndrome
41
Selectins: Selectins are induced by _______ & ________?
IL-1 & TNF
42
Selectins: Describe what L-selectins are?
Expressed on neutrophils and bind to endothelial mucin-like molecules like GlyCam-1
43
Selectins: Describe what E & P Selectins are?
These are expressed on endothelial cells and bind to oligosaccharides like Sialyl-Lewis X on leukocytes.
44
Selectins: Where are P selectins stored?
They're stored in endothelial Weibel-Palade bodies and platelet alpha granules & released y histamine & thrombin
45
Immunoglobin-family adhesion proteins: Describe where ICAM-1 & VCAM receptors are and what they bind to?
They are expressed on endothelial cells and bind to integrins on leukocytes
46
Immunoglobin-family adhesion proteins: Describe where integrins are and what they bind to?
LFA-1, MAC-1, & VLA-4 are all expressed on leukocytes & all bind to the endothelial Ig-family adhesion proteins
47
Acute inflammation: Describe the vasoactive changes that happen in acute inflammation.
1. First vasoconstriction 2. Then vasodilation of arterioles, capillaries, & post capillary venules
48
Acute inflammation: Describe the changes to vascular permeability following the vasoactive changes of acute inflammation
After the initial vasoconstriction then dilation causes transudate to leak out of capillaries into the interstitial space (edema)
49
Acute inflammation, cellular response of leukocytes (Margination --> Transmigration)
1. Margination (leukocytes move to the outer margin of blood flow to the vascular endothelium) 2. Rolling (Selectins L (leukocytes) & P/E (endothelium) loosely bind GlyCam-1 & Sialyl-Lewis X glycoprotein respectively to slow the leukocyte down) 3. Adhesion (Integrins (leukocyte) bind ICAM & VCAM (endothelium) to firmly adhere the leukocyte to endothelium) 4. Transmigration (PCAM-1/CD31 mediated the movement of leukocytes across the endothelium membrane)
50
Acute inflammation, Chemotaxis: What are the chemotactic factors for neutrophils
1. Products from bacteria 2. Complement proteins C5a 3. LTB4 (Lipoxygenase), Kallikrein, & HETE (hydroxyeicosatetranoic acid) direct the leukocyte to the site of injury/infection
51
Chemotactic factors: Neutrophils
C5a HETE LTB4 Fibrinogen PDGF
52

59
Endogenous mediators, vasoactive amines: Describe the process of how histamine is released from basophils & mast cells ?
Histamine is released via degranulation when triggered by: - Ag binding IgE to a basophil & mast cell - C3a & C5a bind to receptors on basophils & mast cells - heat/cold - IL-1 - Factors from neutrophils, monocytes, & platelets
60
Serotonin (5-hydroxytryptamine) acts similarly to ___________ & it's derived from ____________
similar to histamine & it's derived from platelets
61

Phospholipase A2
62
Arachidonic acid metabolites: The cyclooxygenase pathway is catalyzed by two enzymic isoforms _____ & _____, what is the pathway inhibited by?
COX-1 & COX-2 & The pathway is inhibited by aspirin (any anti-inflammatory drugs)
