    Study Notes

    Regeneration and Repair

    • Regeneration and repair are processes that restore tissue architecture and function after injury.
    • Regeneration involves the proliferation of surviving cells to replace the damaged or lost tissue.
    • Connective tissue deposition involves laying down fibrous connective tissue to replace damaged tissue when regeneration is not possible.

    Learning Objectives

    • Describe the effects of regeneration and repair on an organ or tissue.

    Outline

    • Introduction
    • Regeneration
    • Connective tissue deposition
    • Cutaneous wound healing
    • Pathological aspects of repair

    Terminology

    • Connective tissue: Tissues providing structure, mechanical strength and support for specialized tissues.
    • Connective tissue structure components:
      • Extracellular matrix (ECM): fibrous structural proteins (e.g., collagen), ground substance and basement membrane.
      • Support cells (stromal cells): Responsible for making ECM (e.g., fibroblasts).
      • Blood vessels, lymphatic vessels and nerves: Providing nutrients and factors required for tissue growth.

    Organ Examples

    • Skin (cutaneous organ):
      • Specialized tissue: epidermis (outer epithelial cell layer).
      • Connective tissue: dermis (mesh of elastin and collagen fibers).
    • Liver (parenchymal/solid organ):
      • Specialized tissue: hepatocytes (type of parenchymal cell).
      • Connective tissue: delicate network of extracellular matrix (e.g., reticulin).

    Terminology Continued

    • Collagen: Main fiber type in connective tissue, excess deposition is called fibrosis or scar formation.

    Tissue Repair

    • Regeneration alone is not practical for humans in most cases.
    • Instead, a combination of regeneration and connective tissue repair is relied upon.
    • Several cell types proliferate during repair:
      • Surviving functional cells.
      • Vascular endothelial cells (provide nutrients and growth factors).
      • Fibroblasts (source of fibrous/scar tissue).
    • Ability of a tissue to repair itself is the intrinsic proliferative capacity.

    Proliferative Capacity

    • Different cells have various regenerative capacities.
    • A cell's intrinsic proliferation capacity depends on how much time is spent in different phases of the cell cycle.
      • G₀: Resting phase.
      • Active phases: Remaining phases of the active cell cycle (G₁, S, G₂ & M).

    Three Main Tissue Types

    • Body tissues are categorized based on their proliferative capacity.
      • Labile tissue: Consistently divides; high regenerative capacity. (e.g., gastrointestinal epithelium, skin, oral mucosa, bone marrow.)
      • Stable tissue: Minimal proliferation, but capable of entering G₁ in response to injury. (e.g., cells of connective tissue like fibroblasts and smooth muscle cells; solid organs such as kidney, pancreas, adrenal glands.)
      • Permanent tissue: Cannot proliferate (e.g., neurons and cardiac muscle cells)

    Labile Tissues

    • Have high regeneration capacity; continuous cell renewal.
    • Increased amount of stem cells. Rapid cell replacement in injury.
    • Stem cells differentiate into the lost cell type.

    Stable Tissues

    • Regeneration can occur but is often limited.
    • Connective tissue-like cells (fibroblasts, smooth muscle cells).
    • Many solid organs are stable tissues (kidney, pancreas) but one exception is the liver.

    Permanent Tissues

    • Cannot undergo proliferation.
    • Tissue death results in repair via connective tissue deposition.
    • Results in non-functioning scar tissue.
    • Examples include neurons and cardiac muscle cells.

    Regeneration Process

    • Complex process involving the interaction of growth signals and control mechanisms.
    • Influenced by growth factors, hormones and cytokines.
    • Interaction of cells with the ECM.
    • Mechanical support; scaffolding for tissue repair, and microenvironment maintenance.

    Example: Liver Regeneration

    • Occurs through priming and proliferation phases.
    • Priming: Kupffer cell cytokines (IL-6) make hepatocytes respond to growth factors.
    • Proliferation: Growth factors (HGF, TGF-α) stimulate hepatocyte entry into the cell cycle.

    Limitations of Regeneration

    • Regeneration cannot repair all types of injuries.
    • Regeneration often isn't sufficient for severe or chronic injuries.
    • Tissues with non-dividing cells cannot be regenerated.
    • Connective tissue deposition results in fibrosis/scar tissue formation.
    • Specific examples for liver (intact structure needed for regeneration; regeneration insufficient with inflammation/infection, with extensive damage to reticulin).

    Repair by Connective Tissue Deposition

    • Inflammatory phase: process begins within 24 hours, damaged tissue removed, cytokines and growth factors secreted.
    • Proliferative phase: new blood vessels (angiogenesis), fibroblasts proliferate and deposit ECM, granulation tissue is formed.
    • Remodeling phase: granulation tissue becomes a scar, matrix metalloproteinases degrade ECM, including collagen.

    Cutaneous Wound Healing

    • Involves epithelial regeneration and connective tissue formation.
    • Healing processes grouped into primary, secondary or tertiary intent based on wound size, health and repair procedure used.
    • Extensive vs minimal tissue types repaired ( primary vs secondary intention healing.)

    Healing: Primary Intention

    • Clean, uninfected opposed wound.
    • Example: sutured incision.
    • Epithelial regeneration predominates over fibrosis.
    • Minimal wound contraction and scar formation.
    • Dermal appendages are often lost.

    Healing: Secondary Intention

    • Large, infected, or chronic wounds.
    • Example: ulcers, deep abrasions, severe burns.
    • Fibrosis predominates over epithelial regeneration.
    • More severe inflammatory response.
    • Extensive granulation tissue and scar formation.

    Wound Strength

    • Healed skin is not as strong as original tissue.
    • Strength increases over time after repair, but not to the original strength. Recovery time depends on depth and extent of tissue damage

    Pathological Aspects of Repair

    • Complications of wound healing classified into inadequate and excessive tissue repair.

    Factors Influencing Tissue Repair

    • Factors influencing wound healing (infection, foreign body presence, nutritional status - vitamins (C), hormonal status (steroids), perfusion/blood supply/oxygen, diabetes, mechanical factors such as pressure, type and extent of injury (labile vs. stable permanent tissue.))

    Inadequate Tissue Repair

    • Results from inadequate formation process components.
    • Examples include:
      • Wound dehiscence: separation of surgical wound edges. (infection, mechanical factors)
      • Ulcers (venous leg ulcers - chronic venous hypertension, poor oxygen delivery; arterial ulcers - atherosclerosis, and diabetic ulcers – multifactorial)
      • Pressure ulcers (mechanical pressure, local ischemia)

    Excessive Tissue Repair

    • Results from excess formation process components.
    • Examples include:
      • Hypertrophic scars: raised scars that do not go beyond original wound.
      • Keloid scars: raised scars that extend beyond original wound.
      • Proud flesh: exuberant granulation tissue
      • Wound contractures
      • Desmoid tumors: excess proliferation of fibroblasts and ECM.

    In Summary

    • Tissue repair can occur via regeneration or connective tissue deposition.
    • Body tissues have different regeneration capacities.
    • Tissues are repaired by replacement with connective tissue and scar tissue.
    • Inadequate or excessive repair can cause health problems depending on the type/extent of tissue damage and presence of infections or foreign bodies.
