Lecture 3- Inflammation 8/29 Flashcards
4 common symptoms of inflammation
redness
swelling
heat
pain
acute inflammation results in …. changes and mediators and … events and mediators
vascular
cellular
vascular changes in acute inflammation involve… and … which promote fluid and inflammatory cell accumulation in the tissue at site of injury
vasodilation
increased vasc. permeability
vasodilation involves the relaxation of … and the engorgement of … with redness and warmth. this is mediated by …, … and …
pre-capillary arterioles
capillary beds
NO, histamine and PGs
2 types of fluids associated with fluid accumulation in inflammation
transudate
exudate
… is a type of fluid in inflammation that is low protein content, low specific gravity and can occur in non-inflam or inflamm situations
transudate
… is a type of fluid in inflammation that is high protein content, high specific gravity and can be fibrinous(few cells), purulent (many cells) or sanguineous (blood)
exudate
endothelial cell contraction is mediated by … (4)
histamine
bradykinin
leukotrienes
PAF
3 mechanisms of increased vascular permeability
endothelial contraction
endothelial retraction
direct injury
Endothelial contraction is … and ….
reversible
immediate (transient)
Endothelial retraction is …. and is sustained for…
delayed, develops in 4-6 hours
24 (+) hours
Endothelial retraction is mediated by…. (3)
IL-1
TNF
IFN-y
Pain is mediated by … and …
PGE2
Bradykinin
Fever is mediated by …, …, and …
PGE2
IL-1
TNF
direct endothelial injury is mediated by… or by….
injurious agents
ROS/enzymes from PMNs
endothelial cells can be activated by… (3)
hypoxia
infectious agents
inflammatory mediators
4 actions of activated endothelial cells
- contraction/retraction
- increase expression of adhesion molecules
- produce PGI2 and NO (vasodilation)
- increase syn. of inflammatory mediators
Leukocyte order of events
- margination- stasis
- rolling- selectins (weak)
- adhesion- integrins ICAM and VCAM
- emigration- PECAM
- chemotaxis
6 chemotactic factors
PAF LTB4 C5a Chemokines Bacterial lipids and peptides Fibrin degradation products
4 steps of phagocytosis
- attachment
- engulfment
- degranulation
- oxidative burst
…. is active in HOCl production
myeloperoxidase
In phagocytosis, attachment is mediated by…
opsonins IgG, C3b and collectins
4 additional mechanisms of intracellular killing by leukocytes
- defensins
- lysozyme
- major basic protein
- bactericidal permeability- increasing protein
the presence of …. defines acute inflammation and are the first cell to emigrate
neutrophils (PMNs)
