[P] Week 2: Inflammation and Repair - Part 2 Flashcards
(107 cards)
Enumerate the steps of phagocytosis
- Recognition and Attachment
- Engulfment
- Killing and Degradation
STEPS OF PHAGOCYTOSIS
Involves the recognition and attachment of the particle to be
ingested by the leukocyte
Recognition and Attachment
STEPS OF PHAGOCYTOSIS
this receptors enable phagocytes to bind and ingest microbes
Mannose receptors, scavenger receptors, and receptors
for various opsonins
STEPS OF PHAGOCYTOSIS
Consists of the extension of the cytoplasm around the particle, and the plasma membrane pinches off to form an intracellular vesicle called the PHAGOSOME, which encloses the particle.
Engulfment
STEPS OF PHAGOCYTOSIS - Engulfment
The phagosome then fuses with a lysosomal granule, which discharges its contents into the?
PHAGOLYSOSOME
STEPS OF PHAGOCYTOSIS
Involves the killing of the microbe and degradation of the
ingested material
Killing and degradation
STEPS OF PHAGOCYTOSIS
Killing of microbes is accomplished by? enumerate
- Reactive oxygen species (ROS)
- Reactive nitrogen species (mainly derived from and nitric oxide (NO))
STEPS OF PHAGOCYTOSIS - Killing and degradation
produced by the rapid assembly and activation of a multicomponent oxidase nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NADPH) oxidase which oxidizes reduced NADPH and, in the process, reduces oxygen to superoxide anion–making it highly reactive
Reactive Oxygen Species
STEPS OF PHAGOCYTOSIS - Killing and degradation
superoxide from the NAPDH oxidization can be converted to?
hydrogen peroxide
STEPS OF PHAGOCYTOSIS - Killing and degradation
Hydrogen peroxide may not efficciently kill microbes, so it should be combined with?
- myeloperoxidase (MPO)
- Halide (such as chloride to convert to HCl)
STEPS OF PHAGOCYTOSIS - Killing and degradation
give an example of an ROS
hydrogen peroxide myeloperoxidase (H2O2-MPO) halide system
most potent bactericidal system of the neutrophils
STEPS OF PHAGOCYTOSIS - Killing and degradation
a soluble gas produced from arginine by the action of nitric oxide
synthase (NOS), also participates in microbial killing.
Reactive Nitrogen Species: Nitric Oxide
STEPS OF PHAGOCYTOSIS - Killing and degradation
what are the three types of NOS
- endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS)
- neuronal nitric oxide synthase (nNOS)
- inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS)
STEPS OF PHAGOCYTOSIS - Killing and degradation
constitutively expressed at low levels, and the NO they generate functions to maintain vascular tone and as neurotransmitter, respectively
eNOS and nNOS
STEPS OF PHAGOCYTOSIS - Killing and degradation
This NO is type that is involved in microbial killing, is induced when macrophages are activated by cytokines.
iNOS
STEPS OF PHAGOCYTOSIS - Killing and degradation
in macrophage what is the mechanism of NO so that it will attack and damage the microbe
NO reacts with a superoxide to
generate the highly-reactive free radical PEROXYNITRITE
NO + Superoxide = Peroxynitrite
STEPS OF PHAGOCYTOSIS - Killing and degradation
Granules, may be categorized as?
- Smaller specific (secondary) granules
- Larger azurophilic (primary) granules
STEPS OF PHAGOCYTOSIS - Killing and degradation
this granule contains the:
lysozyme, collagenase, gelatinase, lactoferrin, plasminogen activator, histaminase, alkaline phosphatase
Secondary granules
STEPS OF PHAGOCYTOSIS - Killing and degradation
this granule contains the:
myeloperoxidase, bactericidal proteins such as lysozymes and defensins, acid hydrolases, and a variety of neutral proteases such
as elastase, cathepsin G, non-specific collagenase, and
proteinase 3
Primary granules
STEPS OF PHAGOCYTOSIS - Killing and degradation
this granule contains the:
defencins, cathelicidins, lysozyme, lactoferrin, and the major basic
protein, which is usually present in eosinophils
Other microbicidal granule
This mechanism are present in order to combat the action of these free radicals
Antioxidant Mechanism
Antioxidant Mechanism may be in the form of?
- Superoxide dismutase
- Catalase
- Glutathione peroxidase
- Ceruloplasmin
- Transferrin
Extracellular fibrillar networks that provide a high concentration of antimicrobial substances at sites of
infection and trap microbes, helping to prevent their spread
NEUTROPHIL EXTRACELLULAR TRAPS (NETs)
LEUKOCYTE-MEDIATED TISSUE INJURY
Leukocytes are important causes of injury to normal cells and tissues under several circumstances:
As part of the normal defense reaction against infectious
microbes, when ____ tissues suffer collateral
damage
