Study Notes
Inflammatory Reactions and Characteristics
- Typical reaction of mild injury includes swelling (tumor) and fluid exudation due to increased vascular permeability.
- Increased permeability is often caused by substances like histamine and prostaglandins.
- Conditions like pleurisy accompanying pneumonia result from adjacent tissue damage, while non-destructive infections (e.g., viral pericarditis) also exhibit these responses.
- Inflammation leads to fluid resorption once the inflammatory response subsides, possibly causing induration in chronic inflammatory states.
Types of Inflammation
- Fibrinous Inflammation: Characterized by the deposition of fibrin on surfaces of organs (e.g., the lungs, heart), leading to thick exudate.
- Pus Formation: In purulent (suppurative) inflammation, dead tissues and neutrophils accumulate, commonly due to infection by pyogenic bacteria.
- Examples include bacterial pneumonia and the resultant abscesses in lung tissue, which signify acute and chronic inflammatory features.
Systemic Reactions
- Inflammation, even when localized, may trigger systemic cytokine-induced reactions, which are collectively termed the inflammatory response.
- Healing of ulcers or inflamed tissues necessitates addressing underlying causes such as persistent infections or irritants.
Cellular Response in Chronic Inflammation
- Chronic inflammation is marked by mononuclear cell infiltration, significant tissue injury, and concurrent repair processes.
- Macrophages and T lymphocytes play key roles in chronic inflammatory reactions and interact to manage offending agents.
- Tissue injury occurs due to multiple mediators produced by the inflamed macrophages attempting to eliminate persistent irritants.
Mediators of Inflammation
-
Histamine: Stored in mast cell granules, rapidly released during allergic reactions and trauma. Causes blood vessel dilation and increases vascular permeability. Antihistamines are used to block its effects.
-
Arachidonic Acid: Released from membrane phospholipids by PLA2 activation, converted into various active mediators influencing multiple inflammatory responses.
-
Prostaglandins: Produced by cyclooxygenase activation in various cells. They play roles in vasodilation, increased vascular permeability, and pain modulation. Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) inhibit cyclooxygenase to reduce inflammation.
-
Leukotrienes: Produced by lipoxygenase from mast cells and leukocytes. Key in neutrophil chemotaxis and bronchial smooth muscle contraction, important in conditions like asthma. Leukotriene receptor antagonists are used for treatment.
-
Platelet-activating Factor (PAF): Involved in vasodilation and increased vascular permeability, promotes platelet aggregation, contributing to thrombosis.
Plasma Protein-Derived Mediators
-
Complement Proteins: Activated by a series of proteolytic events. Components like C5a and C3a attract leukocytes to sites of inflammation. C3b enhances phagocytosis of microbes.
-
Pentraxins: Liver-synthesized proteins in response to cytokines. C-reactive protein (CRP) is known for opsonizing microbes to facilitate their clearance. Serum amyloid protein (SAP) has unclear functions.
-
Kinins: Bradykinin, produced via kinin-kallikrein interactions, contributes to vasodilation, increased vascular permeability, and induces pain.
Systemic Manifestations of Inflammation
-
Acute Inflammation: Often accompanied by systemic symptoms like fever and leukocytosis; these responses help diagnose underlying infections.
-
Severe systemic acute inflammation can arise in sepsis due to disseminated infections, mediating severe clinical outcomes.
-
Leukocytosis: Characterized by increased white blood cells in circulation during inflammation, essential for fighting infections and removing damaged cells.
Chronic Inflammation
-
Chronic Inflammatory Reaction: Dominated by mononuclear cell infiltration. Tissue injury and repair processes occur simultaneously, often leading to ongoing tissue damage.
-
Long-term interactions between macrophages and T lymphocytes drive chronic inflammation, highlighting the persistent nature of some immune responses.
-
Tissue Injury: Results from inflammatory mediators secreted by macrophages, which initiate repair processes as well as contribute to further inflammation.
Molecular Regulators of Inflammation
- Mediators regulating immune response and inflammation include various cytokines.
- Chemokines act to direct the movement of leukocytes to sites of infection or injury.
- The complement system is composed of circulating proteins that enhance immune responses.
Role of Cytokines
- Cytokines are activated by microbes, antibodies, or plasma proteins, facilitating inflammation.
- Recognition of microbial and antigenic substances triggers immune responses, promoting inflammation.
- Acute-phase proteins like C-reactive protein (CRP) and serum amyloid P contribute to vascular dilation and enhance inflammatory processes.
Inflammation Characteristics
- Key characteristics of inflammation:
- Rubor (redness)
- Calor (warmth)
- Tumor (swelling)
- Dolor (pain)
- These signs result from the activities of specific mediators during inflammation.
Abscess Formation
- An abscess is a localized collection of pus resulting from necrotic tissue and acute inflammation.
- It can form in any organ due to bacterial seeding, containing dead leukocytes and inflammatory cells.
Ulcers
- An ulcer presents as a localized defect in tissue surface, often due to necrosis or loss of epithelial tissue.
- Gastric ulcers are commonly associated with Helicobacter pylori infections and aggravated by gastric acid.
Systemic Manifestations of Acute Inflammation
- Systemic manifestations may include generalized edema, metabolic disturbances, and organ dysfunction due to excessive cytokine production.
- Common conditions linked to inflammation: wounds in individuals with diabetes or elderly patients due to reduced blood supply and immobility.
Leukocyte Response
- Cytokines stimulate rapid leukocyte appearance within minutes by enhancing the release of pre-formed leukocytes from the bone marrow.
- Continued inflammation can lead to an increase in leukocyte production over days or weeks.
Outcomes of Acute Inflammation
- Acute inflammatory responses can result in:
- Resolution, where damaged tissue is repaired and cells are replenished.
- Persistent inflammation, which may lead to chronic inflammation or further complications.
Complement Activation and Inflammation
- Complement activation produces byproducts from dead cells, which are recognized by pattern recognition receptors.
- Sequence of enzymatic modifications of proteins culminates in the activation of macrophages and other cells.
- This process leads to the deposition of products that opsonize microbes and activate signaling pathways for synapse formation and secretion.
- Recruit leukocytes for phagocytosis and regulate kynesis, where cytokines have distinct or overlapping roles in acute inflammation.
Chronic Inflammation
- Chronic inflammation arises from persistent stimuli, leading to ongoing tissue injury and scarring.
- Often caused by prolonged infection (e.g., tuberculosis) or autoimmune diseases (e.g., rheumatoid arthritis, multiple sclerosis).
- macrophages and dendritic cells display antigens to T cells, influencing the immune response.
- Activated T cells produce various cytokines, influencing chronic inflammation.
Clinical Manifestations of Inflammation
- Redness (rubor) results from vasodilation due to histamine and prostaglandins.
- Types of serous inflammation:
- Serous: Mild burns and skin diseases can lead to clear serous effusion.
- Purulent: Characterized by pus formation, typically induced by pyogenic bacteria resulting in destructive inflammation and necrosis.
- Fibrinous: Fibrin deposition often occurs in conditions like pericarditis and meningitis.
Acute Phase Response
- Acute phase proteins (e.g., C-reactive protein, serum amyloid A) increase plasma levels during inflammation.
- Fever, a cytokine response, adjusts body temperature through mechanisms involving endogenous pyrogens like IL-1 and TNF.
- Sedimentation rate (ESR) measured to indicate inflammation levels and monitor disease progression.
Importance of Morphology in Inflammation
- Morphological patterns in inflammation vary depending on the severity and cause of the reaction.
- Recognizing gross and microscopic features aids in diagnosing the underlying cause of inflammation.
- Major components include vasodilation, leukocyte recruitment, and edema, occurring in both acute and chronic inflammation contexts.
Diagrammatic Representation
- Low-power views of inflamed tissues demonstrate characteristic fluid exudates, vascular changes, and immune cell infiltration, essential for understanding different inflammatory types.
Serous Inflammation
- Characterized by the presence of serous effusion, which appears as pale pink or clear fluid separating the epidermis from the dermis.
- Morphological patterns can overlap with features of acute inflammation, including vasodilation, leukocyte recruitment, and edema.
- Recognition of gross and microscopic patterns aids in identifying underlying causes.
Clinical Manifestations
- Symptoms of serous inflammation often include redness, swelling, and the presence of fluid exudation.
- Common conditions leading to serous inflammation include skin burns and infections that damage surrounding tissues.
- Fluid resorption occurs as inflammation subsides.
Acute Inflammation
- Acute-phase response includes increased plasma levels of proteins like fibrinogen and serum amyloid protein, influenced by cytokines such as IL-6 and TNF.
- High levels of TNF can result in hypotension, disseminated intravascular coagulation, and organ failure in severe cases like burns and pancreatitis.
- C-reactive protein serves as a marker of inflammation.
Role of Cytokines and Hematopoiesis
- Colony-stimulating factors like GM-CSF and G-CSF promote neutrophil and monocyte production from bone marrow in response to inflammation.
- Key cytokines include IL-1, IL-6, and TNF, which play crucial roles in mediating inflammatory responses.
Chronic Inflammation
- Chronic inflammation is a prolonged response where inflammation, tissue injury, and scarring coexist.
- Persistent triggers include chronic infections (e.g., tuberculosis), autoimmune diseases (e.g., rheumatoid arthritis), and exposure to toxic agents.
- Macrophages and dendritic cells present antigens to T cells, activating further inflammatory cascades.
- T cells produce various cytokines, contributing to the maintenance of chronic inflammation.
Key Cytokines and Cellular Responses
- IFN-γ activates macrophages, enhancing their ability to fight infections.
- Epithelioid and giant cells are characteristic of granuloma formation in chronic inflammation.
- Granulomas can occur in response to persistent antigens that the immune system cannot eliminate.
Summary
- Serous inflammation presents with distinct visual and symptomatological characteristics.
- Acute and chronic inflammation have different underlying mechanisms and triggers.
- The interplay of various cytokines and immune cells is vital in managing the inflammatory process and its outcomes.
