Q

difference between studying monogenic disease and polygenic disease?

A

Monogenic: caused by variation in a single gene ->tells us more about function of body better than polygenic diseases: too many contributing gene factors to come to conclusive explanation

Q

What happens when NLRs are activated by PAMPS?

A

->Multimerisation of adaptor molecule apoptosis speck-like protein (ASC)

Procaspase 1 recruited to the complex +cleaved to form caspase-1 (active form of enzyme)

Caspase 1 cleaves IL-1b +IL-18 -> active forms

Q

what is IL-1b (production and) secretion like in ox with CAPS? periodic fevers

A

same stimulus as same cells but increased.
also inc of IL8
= inflamm response, very quick

25
IL-1b secretion in whole blood preps elevated in CAPS px in response to what?
lipopolysaccharide (LPS) ... cytokines IL6,18 also elevated
26
what effect does IL 1b have on the brain particularly the hypothalamus? 2 *image on p137
induces fever and pain sensitization
27
what effect does IL 1b have on the bone? induces...
induces bone resorption + cartilage breakdown induces production + enhanced activation of immune cells
28
IL1b induces production + enhanced activation of immune cells effect...
-> release of inflammatory molecules
29
what effect does IL 1b have on endothelial cells?
induces release of IL 6 -> production + release of acute phase proteins from liver
30
name 2 acute phase markers that are elevated in CAPS?
c reactive protein serum amyloid a
31
how do the 2 acute phase markers associated with CAPS change... how long does response last?
become 10x higher than upper limit of normal rapid. inc then dec 24-48 hours as stimulus not there anymore. not like having pathogen in blood
32
name 3 anti IL-1b therapies
anakinra rilonacept canakinumab
33
anakinra is a recombinant human IL 1 receptor antagonist that stops IL 1 binding to its receptor. what cytokine(s) does it target?
IL-1a, IL-1b
34
name a drug that is regarded as an IL b trap?
rilonacept
35
name of a humanized monoclonal anti IL B antibody?
canakinumab
36
which si oddone out in anakinra rilonacept canakinumab + why?
anakinra rilonacept both act on IL-1a and IL-1b canakinumab only acts on IL-1b
37
NOD sensors are internal sensors and have similar processes to activate?
caspase domain (CARD)
38
What do NOD sensors detect?
peptidoglycans internally in the cell
39
What do NOD sensors stimulate? 2
antimicrobial peptide (AMP) type 1 interferon production (IFNb) (drive same process of IL1b reduction
40
name one condition that mutations in NOD sensors is linked to?
crohns
41
A20 and otulin normally blocks/controls NFKB pathway (that targets pro inflammatory genes), when there is a mutation in A20 what effect does this have on inflammation?
increases
42
A20 and OTULIN negativelt regulates NF-kB pathway by....
cleaving K63 and linear Ub chains
43
Decrease expression of A20 or OTULIN will lead to...
activation of NF-kB pathway, increased proinflammatory cytokines +systemic inflammation
44
what causes inhibition of NF-kB pathway in fibroblasts and B cells -> causing immunodeficiency. in A20 and OTULIN pathway?
Patients who carry mutations in HOIP or HOIL-1
45
why do we want molcules like A20?
as backup plan and control repsonse. ELSE get cytokines shock (because want proinflammatory cytokines but not too many)
46
autoinflammatory sydromes - image p145... normally misfolded proteins are eliminated by degredation in the?
endoplasmic reticulum
47
UPR (unfolded protein response) works as a homeostatic response to keep cells folding capacity in balance with its needs. What are the consequences of an imbalance?
leads to ER stress and increase in unfolded proteins
48
goal of UPR?
keep cells folding capacity in balance with needs and want to keep making proteins but get rid of non funcitonal and effective stuff
49
many autoinflammatory diseases are autosomal dominant suggesting what?
gain of function
50
many autoinflammatory diseases are autosomal dominant, effect on cells like islet cells, neurons that turn over slowly/ not at all? wb in other cases?
can inhibit translation and lead to cell death .. in other cases -> loss of protein and effect
51
TRUE OR FALSE: misfolded proteins that accmulate extracellularly can drive IL b production?
true
52
the 4 types of human diseases associated with ER stress/protein folding defects and UPR (p149)
metabolic disease neurodegenerative disease neoplastic disease immune disorder
53
What immune response does autoinflammation show?
Innate immune response
54
What immune response does autoimmunity show?
Adaptive immune response
55
what type of cells involved in 1) autoinflammn 2) autoimmunity?
a)macrophages b)T and B lymphocytes
56
What does autoinflammation show signalling through?
NOD-like receptors NLR (and inflamamsome)
57
What does autoimmunity show signalling through?
Toll-like receptors TLR
58
what MHC class does autoinflammation associate with?
MHC class I associations
59
what MHC class does autoimmunity associate with?
MHC class II associations
60
time/stage of onset for 1) autoinflammn 2) autoimmunity?
a) early - childhood b) late (except monogenic disease) multiple sclerosis etc later in life
61
there are few autoantibodies in autoinflammation. What is the major cytokine?
IL-1b
62
AA myloidosis high/low in 1) autoinflammn 2) autoimmunity?
1) high 2) low
63
autoinflamm causes??
physical agents (cold, mechanical trauma, UV light)
64
what may be considered a cause of several neurological disease?
the unfolded protein response
