Acute inflammation

Edema,neutrophils in tissue.


Eliminate pathogen ,clear necrotic debris.


Innate immunity.

Mediators of acute inflammation

Toll like receptors, Arachnid acid metabolites, Mast cells, Complement, Hageman factor

TLRs present on

Cells of innate immunity ie macrophages,denritic cells....

TLRs activated by

PAMPs: pathogen associated molecular patterns


CD14( Co receptor of TLR4) on macrophage recognizes lipopolysaccharide (PAMP) on outer membrane of gram negative bacteria

TLR activation leads to upregulation of

NF-ķB (nuclear transcription factor that leads to activates immune response genes leading to production of many immune mediators)

AA metabolites source

Released from phospholipid cell membrane by phospholipaseA2 acted upon by Cyclooxygenase or 5-lipoxygenase

Prostaglandins produced by

Cyclooxygenase pathway

Leukotrienes produced by

5-lipoxygenase pathway

Vasodilation and vascular permeability mediators

PGI2 , PGD2 ,PGE2, Histamine, Bradykinin

Pain and fever mediator

PGE2

LTC4 ,LTD4, LTE4

Vasoconstriction, bronchospasm, increased vascular permeability ( slow reacting substances of anaphylaxis (

LTB4

Attracts and activates neutrophils

Mast cell activation

Tissue trauma, C3a or C5a , IgE

Mast cell activation responses

Immediate response~ release of histamines


Delayed response~ AA metabolites mainly leukotriens

Complement activation pathways

1. Classical pathway: C1 binds IgG or IgM that is bound to antigen.


2.Alternative pathway: microbial products directly activates complement.


3.Mannose-binding lectin pathway (MBL): MBL binds to mannose on microbes and activate complement


All pathways result in formation of C3 convertase

C3 convertase

It converts C3 to C3a and C3b which produces C5 convertase,,C5 convertase: C5 into C5a and C5b,,C5b complexes with C6-9 and form MAC

MAC

Membrane Attack Complex (C5bC6-9)


Lyses microbes by creating a hole in the cell membrane

Anaphylotoxins C5a and C3a

Mast cell degranulation= release of histamines= vasodilation, increased vascular permeability

C5a

Chemotactic for neutrophils

C3b

Opsonin for phagocytosis

Hageman factor(Factor 12) activated by ____________ and it activates ___________

Activated by exposure to sub endothelial or tissue collagen.


It activates: 1. Coagulation and fibrinolytic systems


2.complement


3.kinin system

Bradykinin

Vasodilation, increased vascular permeability, pain

Cardinal signs of inflammation

Redness(rubor) ,heat(calor) ,swelling (tumor) , pain (dolor) , fever

Redness and heat

Due to vasodilation =increased blood flow by relaxation of arteriole smooth muscle ~~Histamine prostaglandin and bradykinin

Swelling

Due to leakage of fluid from post capillary venues into interstitial space (exudate) ~~ Histamine (endothelial cell contraction and tissue damage = endothelial cell disruption)

Pain


Bradykinin, PGE2 ( sensitive sensory nerve endings)

Fever

IL-1 , TNF ( produced by macrophages in response to pyrogens like LPS from bacteria) , Increased PGE2 (raise temperature set point)
