Q

why is turning off T cells crucial

A

T cells need repeated stimulation from signals 1 2 and 3 to function
if antigen or costimulation aren’t present and cytokine signal changes the T cells change phenotype or die

17
Q

why is the generation of iTreg cells from naive cells important

A

iTreg reduce activation signals by DC,sequester il-2 and release anti-inflammatory cytokines (Il-10 and TGF beta)

Q

what do lipid mediators do in inflammation resolution

A

‘stop’ neutrophil and eosinophil infiltration; stimulate non-phlogistic recruitment of monocytes; enhance macrophage phagocytosis of apoptotic neutrophils; increase the exit of phagocytes

21
Q

what do proteins and peptides do in inflammation resolution

A

inhibiting, reducing, and/or modulating the expression and activity of mediators.

22
Q

what do gaseous mediators do in inflammation resolution

A

act primarily as anti-inflammatory substances, promoting resolution of inflammatory processes.

23
Q

what do neuromodulators do in inflammation resolution

A

block pain signals from reaching brain

24
Q

examples of lipid mediators in inflammation resolution

A

lipoxins
resolving
protecting
maresins

25
Q

examples of proteins in inflammation resolution

A

annexin A1
galectins

26
Q

examples of gaseous mediators in inflammation resolution

A

hydrogen sulphide and carbon monoxide

27
Q

example of purine in in inflammation resolution

A

adenosine

28
Q

what are neuromodulators released under the control of

A

vagus nerve

29
Q

how can apoptotic neutrophils initiate transition to resolution

A

apoptotic neutrophils secrete signals which attract macrophages
macrophages recognise phosphatidylserine placed on outer cell membrane in apoptosis
phagocytosis (efferocytosis) of apoptotic neutrophils change macrophage phenotype to produce resolution associated factors
TGF beta induce recruited T cells to become T reg

30
Q

macrophage phenotypes

A

M1
M2
apoptotic cells

31
Q

M1 macrophages

A

pro-inflammatory
activated by PAMP, DAMP and inflammatory cytokines
involved in host defences against infection
produce NO for bacterial killing

32
Q

M2 macrophages

A

anti-inflammatory
wound healing
arise after exposure to th2 cytokines
promote angiogenesis
don’t produce NO
express reduced MHC2 and inhibit T cell responses

33
Q

apoptotic macrophages

A

arise after efferocytosis of apoptotic neutrophils
secrete repair mediators including growth factors
activate fibroblasts and total cells to make connective tissues
recuit T reg
increase angiogenesis

34
Q

what will stimulate M1 macrophages

A

Th1
NK
TNF alpha
IFN gamma

35
Q

what will M1 macrophages secrete

A

TNF alpha
chemokines
IL-6
IL-1 beta
IL-12

36
Q

what will stimulate M2 macrophages

A

IL-13 and IL-4

37
Q

qhat will M2 macrophages secrete

A

matrix metalloproteinases
vascular endothelial growth factor, VEGF
IL-10

38
Q

what will stimulate apoptotic macrophages

A

efferocytosis
IL-10

39
Q

what will apoptotic macrophages release

A

IL-1 RA
VEGF
IL-10
TGF beta

40
Q

what can dendritic cells be

A

anti-inflammatory or tolerogenic
include tociluzimab and vitamin D

41
Q

what type of cytokine is TGF beta

A

pleiotropic
different effects under different circumstances

42
Q

TGF beta predominant function

A

anti-inflammatory
produced in response to Th2 cytokine and is involved in promoting T reg formation along with IL-10

43
Q

TGF beta with IL-6 and 23

A

promote production of Th17 cells, inflammatory and involved in immune-mediated chronic inflammatory diseases

44
Q

TGF beta in T follicular helper cells

A
45
Q

3 overlapping processes in wound healing

A

inflammation
proliferation and regeneration
maturation

46
Q

inflammation in wound healing

A

blood vessels constrict sealing themselves off then dilate to allow immune cells and proteins in

47
Q

proliferation and regeneration in wound healing

A

granulation tissue
new vessels grow
collagen deposited

48
Q

maturation in wound healing

A

wound closed
remodelled to increase tensile strength and return function
