Inflammation

Cards in this deck (55)

  1. 1Shediak-Higashi syndrome?Defective phago-lysosomal fusion (cats, cows, minks, killer whales)
  2. 2Interaction b/w lymphocytes and macrophages in chonic inflammation?Activated T lymphocytes recruit inflammatory cells (through TNF and other) and activate macrophages (through INF gamma). In return, activated macrophages stimulate T cells by presenting antigens and via secretion of inflammatory mediators (like IL12).

    E.g. histamine in mast cells

  4. 4Name some plasma derived mediators of inflammationE.g. complement proteins, kinins
    - Made in liver
    - Circulate as inactive precursors

    Proteins of complement, kinin, and coagulation systems
  6. 6Which vaso-active amine is mainly released by mast cells but also basophils and platelets?Histamine

    (via binding to H1 receptors on endothelium)

    Chemotaxis (call in other cells)
    Smooth muscle (bronchospasm)
  11. 11Lipoxins - produced by lipoxygenase have what effect in inflammation?INHIBITORS of inflammation (particularly inhibit leukocyte recruitment)
  12. 12Prostaglandins - produced by actions of cyclooxygenases: COX-1 (constitutively expressed) and COX-2 (inducible) prostacyclin, thromboxane have effects on?Vasculature (dilation, constriction)

    COX- 2 Inflammation
  14. 14Which pathway does NSAIDs act on and which eicosanoid pathway does it not have an effect on?Cyclooxygenase pathway! (COX-inhibitors)
    No effect on Lipoxygenase pathway
  15. 15Cytokines TNF and IL-1 are relased from activated macrophages in response to what?Physical injury
    Endotoxins and other microbial products
    Immune complexes
    etc.
  16. 16Complement system functions? (3)Inflammation(C3a, C5a)
    Phagocytosis (C3b is opsonin)
    Cell lysis (deposition of MAC on cell)
  17. 17What are kinins?Vasoactive peptides e.g. bradykinin with similar effects to histamine
  18. 18Can you live a normal life without factor XII (Hageman factor) ?Yes
  19. 19True or false: Inflammatory mediators are long-acting and require a specific STOP signalFalse
    Short half-lives with rapid decay or proteolysis
  20. 20List two effects of histamineVasodilation
    Increased vascular permeability
  21. 21What stimulates the release of inflammatory mediators?Microbial products (PAMPs), necrotic material (DAMPs), other mediators
  22. 22What are the 2 pathways of the arachidonic acid metabolism, and what is produced by each?Cyclooxygenase: PGs
    Lipoxygenase: leukotrienes and lipoxins
  23. 23Where does arachidonic acid come from?Cell membranes
  24. 24How are lipoxins different from the other classes of eicosanoids?Inhibition of inflammation
  25. 25Which part of the arachidonic acid pathway do cortocosteroids inhibit?Entire thing (NSAIDS inhibit Cox-1 and Cox-2; not lipoxygenase)
  26. 26Where do "plasma-derived" proteins actually come from?Originally made in liver; circulate in inactive form
  27. 27List 2 effects of cytokines tnf and IL-1Leukocyte recruitment
    Fever
  28. 28What is the key step in complement fixation that is common to all pathways?C3 proteolysis
