Cell Response to Injury
- Cell injury is a broad topic that encompasses various causes, mechanisms, and outcomes.
- Factors like the nature, duration, and severity of the injury, as well as the specific cell type, all influence the response.
- Learning outcomes include identifying causes and types of cell injury, understanding mechanisms, comparing reversible and irreversible damage, defining different injury types, describing gross and microscopic pictures, and explaining the fate of reversible cell injury.
- Comparing necrosis and apoptosis, and distinguishing between necrosis types, are also key objectives.
Causes of Cell Injury
- Several factors can cause cell injury, broken down into broad categories:
- Physical: Mechanical trauma, extreme temperatures, electricity, radiation.
- Chemical: Toxins, drugs, poisons.
- Immunological: Autoimmune reactions, hypersensitivity.
- Hypoxia: Lack of oxygen supply, often due to ischemia
- Infection: Pathogens like bacteria, viruses, and fungi.
Mechanisms of Cell Injury
- Mechanisms of cell injury frequently follow a common pathway. These include:
- ATP depletion
- Membrane damage
- Increased intracellular calcium
- Formation of oxygen-derived free radicals
Reversible Cell Injury
- Mild and short-term injury can often result in reversible cell changes.
- Types of reversible cell injury include cloudy swelling, hydropic swelling, and fatty change.
Types of Reversible Cell Injury
- Cloudy Swelling: Characterized by swelling of cells and granularity of the cytoplasm due to water accumulation.
- Hydropic Swelling: A form of reversible cellular injury where water accumulates inside the cells.
- Fatty Change: An accumulation of fat within cells due to impaired fat metabolism.
Pathogenesis of Cloudy Swelling
- Ischemia initiates a chain of events leading to increased intracellular water.
- Reduced oxidative phosphorylation leads to ATP depletion.
- Sodium-potassium pump dysfunction results in sodium influx and water accumulation.
- Excess lactic acid elevates intracellular osmotic load, exacerbating swelling.
Gross and Microscopic Features of Cloudy Swelling
- Gross: organs affected show edema.
- Microscopic: cells may show swelling, loss of glycogen, and cellular disorganization.
Pathogenesis of Hydropic Swelling
- Similar mechanisms to cloudy swelling, but more pronounced.
- Sodium-potassium pump dysfunction leads to increased sodium entry, driving water accumulation further.
Mechanisms of Irreversible Cell Injury
- Irreversible cell injury results in cell death, either through necrosis or apoptosis
Necrosis
- Necrosis is a form of cell death characterized by cell breakdown triggered by injurious stimuli.
- Broad causes of necrosis are hypoxia, infection, physical or chemical trauma
- Microscopic characteristics include pyknosis, karyorrhexis, karyolysis, increased eosinophilia, and/or organelle degradation.
- Types include:
- Coagulative: Infarction (except brain)
- Liquefactive: Brain infarction, bacterial abscesses.
- Caseous: Tuberculosis
- Fat: Trauma to fat tissue
- Fibrinoid: Vasculitis
Apoptosis
- Apoptosis is a regulated, programmed cell death.
- Physiological role in development, cell turnover and involution.
- Pathological roles include DNA damage, infections and atrophy
Apoptosis - Gross and Micro Features
- Gross: usually not noticeable visually
- Microscopic: Shrinking cells without inflammatory response, fragmentation into membrane-enclosed apoptotic bodies, typically detected by cellular changes.
Fate of Cell Injury
- Reversible cell injury may resolve with resolution of the triggering event.
- If injurious stimuli persist or become severe, irreversible cell injury and cell death (necrosis or apoptosis) can occur.
