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) |
