1/4 Lecture (Injury Death) (3 q's) o o o Mechanisms of cell injury (there are 6 and how do they cause injury) § Mitochondrial dysfunction and damage depletion of ATP, reduced activity of ATP-dependent plasma membrane sodium pumps, accumulation of sodium intracellularly, osmotic gain of water, cellular swelling and dilation § Oxidative stress An imbalance between the production of free radicals and the ability of the body to counteract or detoxify their harmful effects through neutralization by antioxidants § Membrane changes Damaged by ROS (vulnerable double bonds --> peroxide --> autocatalytic reaction) Decreased phospholipid biosynthesis due to hypoxia or nutrient deprivation Increased degradation from increased phospholipase activation due to increased Ca Cytoskeletal abnormalities that disrupt the anchors for plasma membranes § Disturbance in calcium homeostasis Calcium ions are oftentimes second messengers Most intracellular calcium is sequestered in mitochondria and ER Excessive intracellular calcium can lead to activation of enzymes Increased mitochondrial calcium leads to increased permeability o Cytochrome c is released into the cytoplasm § Endoplasmic reticulum stress During protein synthesis, misfolded polypeptides are generated and targeted for proteolysis. But if too abundant then signals are released to initiate apoptosis Accumulation of misfolded proteins may be caused by increased production or decreased elimination Protein misfolding may cause disease by creating deficiency of an essential protein or by inducing apoptosis CHAT: When proteins are made, sometimes they don't fold properly and become misshapen. Usually, cells break down these misfolded proteins. But if there are too many misfolded proteins, cells send signals to start a process called apoptosis, which is like cell suicide. Misfolded proteins can build up because they're made too quickly or because the cell can't get rid of them fast enough. This buildup can lead to diseases either by causing a lack of important proteins or by triggering cell death. § DNA damage May be due to radiation, chemotherapy, ROS, or mutations Damage leads to accumulation of p53 P53 stops the cell cycle and allows DNA repair If too damages, then triggers apoptosis Types of necrosis and their associations § Coagulative - infarction of solid organ (except brain) Due to hypoxia Issue architecture is maintained, pale wedge-shaped with apex towards obstruction § Liquefactive – in the brain; bacterial, and some fungal, infections Enzymes from recruited leukocytes “liquefy” the tissue § Caseous – tuberculosis Tissue architecture is obliterated § Gangrenous – hypoxia wet or dry § Fat - abdominal trauma or pancreatitis Tissue architecture is obliterated Fatty acids combine with calcium to produce chalky white lesions focal areas of fat destruction § Fibrinoid - vasculitis, transplant rejection, severe hypertension complexes of antibodies and antigens or fibrin are deposited Cellular adaptations to stress and why they occur § Hypertrophy –Increase in cell size § Hyperplasia – Increase in number of cells § Atrophy- Decrease in cell size and number § Metaplasia – Change in function 1/9 Lecture (Inflammation & Repair) (4 q's) o Main components of acute inflammation (there are 3) and what their key mediators are § 1.
