Study Notes
Wound Healing 1
- Wound healing is a complex process in the human body
- It involves the coordination of various cell types for haemostasis, inflammation, proliferation, and remodelling.
- Cell injury can be reversible or irreversible.
- Irreversible cell injury leads to different types of cell death depending on the nature and severity of the insult.
- Two major types of cell death are apoptosis and necrosis.
- Necroptosis and pyroptosis are also mechanisms of unusual cell death.
- Autophagy is a cellular adaptation to nutrient deprivation. During autophagy, cells digest their organelles for energy and substrates.
- Autophagy leads to apoptosis if the stress is too great.
- Homeostasis, is a state of stable internal environment maintained by cells
Cell Injury and Cell Death
- The intracellular environment of cells is highly regulated to maintain homeostasis.
- Cell injury can be caused by hypoxia/ischemia, toxins, infectious agents, immune reactions, genetic abnormalities, nutritional imbalances, physical agents, and aging.
- Cells encounter physiological stress (like increased workload) or injurious conditions (like nutrient deprivation).
- Cells can adapt to these stresses to maintain their viability and function.
Types of Cell Injury and Cell Death
- Cell injury can be reversible or irreversible, depending on the insult's nature and severity.
- Injured cells die through different mechanisms.
- Necrosis is always a sign of pathological cell damage; it's not a normal process.
- Apoptosis occurs in both healthy and diseased tissues. This is a programmed cell death for normal cell turnover and tissue homeostasis.
- Necroptosis and pyroptosis are unusual forms of cell death, characterized by inflammation.
- Autophagy is a cellular adaptation to nutrient deprivation; severe stress can lead to cell death through apoptosis.
Apoptosis and Necrosis
- Apoptosis : Cells shrink, condense chromatin, form apoptotic bodies, and are engulfed by phagocytes. No inflammation. Normal cell turnover/removal.
- Necrosis: Cells swell, lose membrane integrity, DNA breaks down, and cause inflammation. Pathological cellular damage results
Pyroptosis and Necroptosis
- Pyroptosis involves caspase-1 activation and inflammatory responses.
- Necroptosis is driven by RIPK1 and RIPK3 triggering cell death and inflammation.
Autophagy
- Autophagy is a cellular process where cells recycle their organelles when there's a nutrient shortage,
- This process involves the formation of autophagic vacuoles which fuse with lysosomes to break down cell components, providing new substrates.
- If the stress is excessive, this process can lead to apoptosis.
Cellular Response During Wound Healing
- Wound healing is a complex process involving spatial and temporal changes in the synchronisation of different cells
- Stages include haemostasis, inflammation, proliferation and remodelling.
Summary
- Cell injury can be reversible or irreversible.
- Irreversible injury results in apoptosis, necrosis, pyroptosis, and necroptosis.
- Autophagy functions to allow cells to recycle their own components when there is a lack of nutrients.
- Wound healing involves multiple cell types in four key steps (haemostasis, inflammation, proliferation and remodelling) that work together in a coordinated manner.
