Three Patterns of Cell response to stress
1. Adaptation
2. Cell Injury
3. Cell Death = Irreversible
Cell Adaptation
Low level stimuli
Ideopathic
Unknown Cause
Etiology
Start of disease
Cell Injury
1. Sudden onset w/no time to adapt
2. Reversible up to a point
Cell Death
Irreversible
Hypertrophy - Adaptation
Increase in size by larger numbers of organelles
- Increased workload
- Hormonal stimulation
Morphology
Appearance of Disease
Physiologic Hypertrophy - Adaptation
Uterine enlargement during pregnant
Pathologic Hypertrophy - Adapt
Hypertension -> Cardiac hypertrophy
Hyperplasia - Adapt
Increase in Number of cells
Physiologic Hyperplasia - Adapt
Breast proliferation - Hormonal
Compensatory - lost tissue due to removal or disease
Pathologic Hyperplasia - Adapt
Creates fertile soil for neopplastic proliferation of cells
- Endometrial hyperplasia because of excess estrogen
Atrophy - Only adaptation that may not be reversible
Shrinkage in size due to loss of substance
- Decreased Workload - immobilization
- Loss of innervation
- Diminished blood supply
- Inadequate Nutrition
- Loss of Endocrine stimulation
- Aging
Proteolytic Systems of Atrophy - Adapt
Ubiquitin - Degrades nucleus and cytosol
Autophagy - Lysosomal enzymes degrade sequestered senescent organelles
Metaplasia - Adaptation
Change from one adult cell type to another.
- Mostly epithelial cells, may be mesenchymal.
- Squamous metaplasia in smokers.
Causes of Cell Injury
1. Oxygen Deprivation - Hypoxia
2. Chemicals
3. Infections
4. Immune reactions
5. Genetic defects
6. Nutritional Imbalances
7. Physical Agents
8. Aging
Oxygen Depravation - Hypoxia - Cell Injury
1. Loss of blood supply = Ischemia = most important
2. Other oxygen shortages
Chemical Agents - Cell Injury
1. Membrane permeability
2. Osmotic homeostasis
3. Mess up enzymes or cofactors
Infectious agents - Cell Injury
Bacteria, viruses, Rickettsiae, fungi, and parasites
Genetic Defects - Cell Injury
Gross chromosomal defect or point mutation
Immunologic Reactions - Cell Injury
1. Reactions to exogenous antigens -> anapphylaxis - Allergies
2. Loss of tolerance -> autoimmune
Nutritional Imbalances - Cell Injury
1. Protein-calorie deficiency
2. Vitamin and mineral deficiencies
3. Nutritional excess
Physical Agents - Cell Injury
Trauma
- Sudden changes in atmospheric pressure - the Benz - pain from nitrogen hypoxia
Aging - Cell Injury
Wear and tear
or
Genome based - Loss of ability to adapt, replicate and repair.
Reversible Injury
1. Cellular swelling - unable to maintain ionic and fluid hemostasis
- Hydropic and vacuolar degeneration
2. Fatty Change - appearance of fat in cytoplasm
- Hypoxic and toxic injuries.
- Metabolic derangements
- Mostly in cells w/fat metabolism
Necrosis - Irreversible
- Cytoplasm -> eosinophilic
1. Enzymatic Digestion of cell
- Autolysis - Hydrolitic enzyme from dead cells
- Heterolysis - From lysosomes of leukocytes
2. Denaturation of proteins -> coagulation
Karyolysis - Necrosis
Fading of the nucleus
Pyknosis - Necrosis
Shrinkage or darkening of nucleus - Most common
Karyorrhexis
Fragmentation of the pyknotic nucleus - Rare
Coagulative Necrosis
From Pknosis - most common
- Denaturation of proteins
- Both lysosomal and structural proteins are denatured -> no autolysis
- Hypoxic death of all tissues cept brain
- Classic is myocardial Infarction
- Kidney starved of blood -> white firm dead chunk
Liquefactive Necrosis
Goes to mush
- Autolysis or heterolysis
- Leaves a defect w/leukocytes
- Mostly focal bacterial infections
- Hypoxic death of CNS
Gangrenous Necrosis
Mostly in Diabetics and Soldiers
Dry Gangrene
Coagulative necrosis -> dark and leathery
Wet Gangrene
Liquefactive Necrosis
Caseous Necrosis
Milk protein - looks like feta cz
- Tuberculosis - Pathoneumonic
- Obliterates Tissue Architecture and outlines
Fat Necrosis
Pancreas
- Abnormal release of activated pancreatic enzymes
- Fats combine with calcium to produce chalky white areas
Fibrinoid Necrosis
Immune-related with blood vessels
- Antigen antibodies combine with fibrin to form pink amorphous layer on blood vessel wall
- Only nuclei present are from inflammatory cells
Subcellular Responses to Injury
1. Autophagy
2. Induction of smooth ER
3. Mitochondrial Alterations
4. Cytoskeletal Abnormalities
Autophagy response to injury
1. Organelles -> membrane bound sac
2. Membrane bound sac fuses with lysosomes -> Autophagolysosomes
3. Undigested pigment after intracellular lipid peroxidation = lipofucin pigment (Wear and Tear pigment)
4. Mostly in cells undergoing atrophy
Induction of SER response to injury
Larger SER to keep up with demand
- Barbituate exposures in liver
Mitochondrial alteration response to injury
Changes in size, number, shape and function of mitochondria
Cytoskeletal abnormality response to injury
1. Defective cell function like locomotion
2. Intracellular accumulation of fibrillar material
Cell membrane changes from injury
Most common change
- Immune molecules, hormone receptors, sites for synthesis
Cell Death
- Function gone far before death
- Time lag before morphologic evidence
- Ultrastructural and histochemical changes within minutes
Apoptosis Morphologies
1. Eosinophilic Cytoplasm and condensed nuclear chromatin
2. Fragmentation into apoptotic bodies - Surrounded by membrane
3. Chromatin degraded by adjacent phagocytes.
Mechanism of Apoptosis
Capase activates - Cystein proteases cleave after aspartic residues
- Breaks don nuclear and extranuclear cell proteins
Takes energy
Pathways of Apoptosis
1. Mitochondrial = Intrinsic
2. Death Receptor = Extrinsic
GF deprivation apoptosis
Hormone sensitive cells, lymphocytes
and nurons
DNA Damage apoptosis
Prevents neoplastic transformation
Accumulation of Misfolded proteins Apoptosis
Prevents degenerative CNS diseases and diabetes
Cytotoxic T cells Apoptosis
Important for target cell killing by CTLs
Apoptosis of self-reactive lymphocytes
Prevents autoimmunity
