Study Notes
- Repair, healing, and resolution are interchangeable terms.
- Regeneration occurs in cells with high proliferative capacity, like skin, intestines, and liver.
Connective Tissue Components
- Blood vessels contribute to angiogenesis
- Fibroblasts produce extracellular matrix proteins like collagen
- Fibroblasts produce structural proteins and ground substance such as collagen, elastin, and proteoglycans.
- Myofibroblasts are specialized fibroblasts with contractile properties.
- Collagen type one has high tensile strength.
- Collagen type three is in reticular connective tissue and granulation tissue.
Tissue Regeneration and Repair: Three Phases
- Tissue Injury: Coagulation factors and platelets fill defect; inflammatory cells recruited to fight infection.
- Regeneration Phase: Stem cell proliferation and differentiation occur. Granulation tissue forms as a scaffold. Angiogenesis occurs; epithelial cells proliferate to "bridge" the wound.
- Remodeling: New cells fill the void; collagen type three converts to collagen type one.
Timeline of Tissue Regeneration
- One day: Tissue injury and inflammation.
- One week: Regenerative materials accumulate and start to build.
- One month: Remodeled end product with new cells.
Cell Migration and Proliferation
- Fibroblasts migrate and proliferate, depositing extracellular matrix proteins like collagen.
- Growth factors and cytokines, secreted by macrophages, orchestrate proliferative properties.
- Macrophages and fibroblasts are key players in this process.
- Platelet-derived growth factor and fibroblast growth factor promote collagen fibroblast proliferation and tissue growth.
- Tissue growth factor beta (TGF-β) contributes to fibrosis and scarring by stimulating fibroblast migration and proliferation, increasing collagen and fibronectin synthesis, and inhibiting metalloproteinases.
- Metalloproteinases break down the extracellular matrix
Angiogenesis
- Fibroblast growth factor recruits peri-endothelial cells and smooth muscle cells.
- Endothelial proliferation is suppressed towards the end of vessel formation.
- Basal lamina is deposited to complete blood vessel development.
Sequence Recap
- Inflammation, regeneration and remodeling, and tissue repair are the sequence of events.
Tissue Repair Outcomes
- One day: Inflammation and blood clot formation.
- Up to seven days: Accumulation of materials, macrophages, secretions, and start of angiogenesis.
- Remodeling involves laying down granulation tissue and increased fibroblastic proliferation, producing collagen type three.
- Collagen type three replaced with collagen type one over time.
- Epithelial regeneration may occur, especially in skin.
- By one month, tissue either regenerates or forms a scar.
- Regeneration restores tissue; lack of regeneration leads to scarring
Scarring
- Increased collagen deposition can lead to fibrosis and scarring if regeneration is not possible.
