    Introduction

    Inflammation

    L.inflammatio; inflammare = to set on fire

    Inflammation is a protective response intended to

    eliminate the initial cause of cell injury as well as

    the necrotic cells and tissues resulting from the

    original insult.

    Definition

    Acc to Robins

    Inflammation is a complex reaction to injurious

    agents such as microbes & damaged, usuallynecrotic, cells that consists ofvascular responses,

    migration & activation of leukocytes, & systemic

    reactions.

  • 8/6/2019 3rd Seminar- Acute Inflmn

    5/100

    Acc toJ. B. Walter & M. S. Israel

    Inflammation is the reaction of the vascular and supporting

    elements of the tissue to injury and results in the formation

    of a protein rich exudates, provided the injury has not been

    so severe as to destroy the area.

    Acute inflammation has threemajor components:

    (1) alterations in vascular caliberthat lead to an increase in bloodflow

    (2) structural changes in themicrovasculature that permit

    plasma proteins and leukocytesto leave the circulation

    (3) emigration of the leukocytesfrom the microcirculation, theiraccumulation in the focus of

    injury, and their activation toeliminate the offending agent

    Cellular changes

    A critical function of inflammation is to deliverleukocytes to the site of injury and to activate theleukocytes to perform their normal functions inhost defense.

    Two processes

    Extravasation

    The sequence of events in the journey of leukocytesfrom the vessel lumen to the interstitial tissue, calledextravasation.

    Events are1. Margination, rolling, and adhesion to Endothelium

    2. Transmigration across the endothelium (diapedesis)

    3. Migration in interstitial tissues toward a chemotactic

    stimulus

    & platelets

    L-selectin- leukocyte

    The selectins are a family of three closely related proteinsthat differ in their cellular distribution

    Selectins bind, through their lectin domain, to sialylatedforms of oligosaccharides (e.g., sialylated Lewis X), which

    themselves are covalently bound to various mucin likeglycoproteins

    various mucin-like glycoproteinsbinding of selectins to theirligands has a fast on rate but also has a fast off rate and isof low affinity; this property allows selectins to mediate

    initial attachment and subsequent rolling of leukocytes onendothelium in the face of flowing blood

    Integrins

    Integrins are transmembraneheterodimeric glycoproteins, made up of and chains, that are expressed on manycell types and bind to ligands onendothelial cells, other leukocytes, and the

    extracellular matrix . The integrins LFA-1 and Mac-1

    (CD11a/CD18 and CD11b/CD18) bind toICAM-1, and the integrins (such as VLA-4)

    bind VCAM-1.

  • 8/6/2019 3rd Seminar- Acute Inflmn

    31/100

    molecules

    The immunoglobulin family molecules include two

    endothelial adhesion molecules:ICAM-1 (intercellular adhesion molecule 1)

    VCAM-1 (vascular cell adhesion molecule 1)

    Both these molecules serve as ligands forintegrins found on leukocytes

    Mucin like glycoproteins Mucin-like glycoproteins, such as

    heparan sulfate, serve as ligands for the leukocyte adhesion

    molecule called CD44.

    These glycoproteins are found in the

    extracellular matrix and on cellsurfaces

    Process of migration ofthe leukocytes throughthe endothelium, calledtransmigration or

    diapedesis.Chemokines stimulatethe cells to migratethrough interendothelialspaces toward thechemical concentrationgradient, i.e, towards the

    site of injury or infection.

  • 8/6/2019 3rd Seminar- Acute Inflmn

    34/100

    The type of emigrating leukocyte varies with theage of the inflammatory response and with the

    type of stimulus.

    In most forms of acute inflammation, neutrophilspredominate in the inflammatory infiltrate during

    the first 6 to 24 hours, then are replaced bymonocytes in 24 to 48 hours.

  • 8/6/2019 3rd Seminar- Acute Inflmn

    35/100

    Why neutrophils?

    Neutrophils are more numerous in the blood

    They respond more rapidly to chemokines

    They may attach more firmly to the adhesion molecules thatare rapidly induced on endothelial cells, such as P- and E-

    selectins

    In addition, after entering tissues, neutrophils are short-lived;they undergo apoptosis and disappear after 24 to 48 hours,whereas monocytes survive longer

    Termination

    mediators of inflammation have short half-lives

    a variety of stop signals that serve to actively terminate thereaction

    These active mechanisms include

    A switch in the production of pro-inflammatory

    leukotrienes to anti-inflammatory lipoxins fromarachidonic acid

    The liberation of an anti-inflammatory cytokine,transforming growth factor- (TGF-), from macrophagesand other cells

    Neural impulses (cholinergic discharge) that inhibit theproduction of TNF in macrophages

    Chemical mediators ofinflammation

  • 8/6/2019 3rd Seminar- Acute Inflmn

    59/100

    General principles

    Mediators originate either from plasma or from cells

    production of active mediators is triggered bymicrobial products or by host proteins

    perform their biologic activity by initially binding to

    specific receptors on target cells

    One mediator can stimulate the release of othermediators by target cells themselves

  • 8/6/2019 3rd Seminar- Acute Inflmn

    60/100

    Mediators can act on one or few target celltypes

    Once activated and released from the cell,most of these mediators are short-lived

    Most mediators have the potential to causeharmful effects.

    (C3a and C5a);(4)Histamine-releasing proteins derived from

    leukocytes, and(5)Neuropeptides (e.g., substance P); and (6)

    cytokines (IL-1, IL-8).

  • 8/6/2019 3rd Seminar- Acute Inflmn

    63/100

    Actions

    In humans, histamine causes dilation of the arterioles

    and increases the permeability of venules.

    It is considered to be the principal mediator of the

    immediate transient phase of increased vascular

    permeability, causing venular gaps.

    The complement,

    Kinin, and

    Clotting systems

  • 8/6/2019 3rd Seminar- Acute Inflmn

    66/100

    Complement system

    20 component proteins (and theircleavage products)

    found in greatest concentration in

    plasma This system functions in both innate

    and adaptive immunity for defense

    against microbial agents. C3 and C5 are the most important

    inflammatory mediators.

    The Early Steps

  • 8/6/2019 3rd Seminar- Acute Inflmn

    67/100

    The classical pathway is triggered by fixation ofCl to antibody (IgM or IgG) that has combinedwith antigen, and proteolysis of C2 and C4, andsubsequent formation of a C4b2b complex thatfunctions as a C3 convertase.

    The alternative pathway can be triggered bymicrobial surface molecules (e.g., endotoxin, or

    LPS), complex polysaccharides, and cobra venom.It involves a distinct set of plasma components(properdin, and factors B and D). In this pathway,the spontaneous cleavage of C3 that occursnormally is enhanced and stabilized by a complexof C3b and a breakdown product of Factor Bcalled Bb; the C3bBb complex is a C3 convertase

    In the lectin pathway, mannose-binding lectin, aplasma collectin, binds to carbohydrate-containing proteins on bacteria and viruses and

    directly activates Cl

    69/100

    The Late Steps of ComplementActivation

    The C3b that is generated by any of thepathways binds to the C3 convertase andproduces a C5 convertase, which cleavesC5. C5b remains attached to the complex

    and forms a substrate for the subsequentbinding of the C6C9 components.

    Polymerized C9 forms a channel in lipidmembranes, called the membrane attack

    complex, which allows fluid and ions toenter and causes cell lysis.

    Platelet activating factor

    PAFis another bioactive phospholipid-derivedmediator.

    A variety of cell types, including platelets,basophils (and mast cells), neutrophils,

    monocytes/macrophages, and endothelial cells,can elaborate PAF.

    PAF mediates its effects via a single G-protein-coupled receptor, and its effects are regulated

    by a family of inactivating PAF acetylhydrolases

    In addition to platelet stimulation, PAF causes

    Vasoconstriction and bronchoconstriction, and induces vasodilation and increased venular

    Cytokines are proteins produced by manycell types (principally activatedlymphocytes and macrophages, but alsoendothelium, epithelium, and connectivetissue cells) that modulate the functions ofother cell types

    TNF and IL-I are two of the major cytokines

    that mediate inflammation. They areproduced mainly by activatedmacrophages

    CHEMOKINES

    Chemokines are a family of small (8 to 10 kD)proteins that act primarily as chemoattractants forspecific types of leukocytes.

    About 40 different chemokines and 20 different

    receptors for chemokines have been identified.

    Chemokines stimulate leukocyte recruitment ininflammation and control the normal migration of

    cells through various tissues.

    four major groups

  • 8/6/2019 3rd Seminar- Acute Inflmn

    89/100

    Some chemokines are produced transiently inresponse to inflammatory stimuli and promote therecruitment of leukocytes to the sites ofinflammation.

    Other chemokines are produced constitutively intissues and function in organogenesis to organize

    different cell types in different anatomic regions ofthe tissues.

    Nitric Oxide

  • 8/6/2019 3rd Seminar- Acute Inflmn

    90/100

    Nitric Oxide NO, a pleiotropic mediator of inflammation, was discovered as a

    factor released from endothelial cells that caused vasodilation by

    relaxing vascular smooth muscle and was therefore calledendothelium-derived relaxing factor.

    NO is a soluble gas that is produced not only by endothelial cells,but also by macrophages and some neurons in the brain.

    NO acts in a paracrine manner on target cells through induction of

    cyclic guanosine monophosphate (GMP), which, in turn, initiates aseries of intracellular events leading to a response, such as therelaxation of vascular smooth muscle cells.

  • 8/6/2019 3rd Seminar- Acute Inflmn

    91/100

    Since the half-life of NO is only seconds, the gas actsonly on cells in close proximity to where it is produced.

    In addition, NO reduces platelet aggregation andadhesion, inhibits several features of mast cell-inducedinflammation, and serves as an endogenous regulator ofleukocyte recruitment.

    Thus, production of NO is an endogenous compensatorymechanism that reduces inflammatory responses.

  • 8/6/2019 3rd Seminar- Acute Inflmn

    92/100

    NO and its derivatives are microbicidal,and thus NO is also a mediator of hostdefense against infection

    High levels of NO production by a varietyof cells appear to limit the replication ofbacteria, helminths, protozoa, and viruses(as well as tumor cells).

    -Radicals

  • 8/6/2019 3rd Seminar- Acute Inflmn

    94/100

    Radicals Oxygen-derived free radicals may be released extracellularly

    from leukocytes after exposure to microbes, chemokines, andimmune complexes, or following a phagocytic challenge.

    Superoxide anion, hydrogen peroxide (H2O2), and hydroxylradical (OH) are the major species produced within the cell,and these metabolites can combine with NO to form otherreactive nitrogen intermediates.

    Extracellular release of low levels of these potent mediators

    can increase the expression of chemokines (e.g., IL-8),cytokines, and endothelial leukocyte adhesion molecules,amplifying the cascade that elicits the inflammatory response.

  • 8/6/2019 3rd Seminar- Acute Inflmn

    95/100

    The physiologic function of these reactive oxygenintermediates is to destroy phagocytosed microbes. At

    higher levels, release of these potent mediators can bedamaging to the host.

    Serum, tissue fluids, and host cells possess antioxidantmechanisms that protect against these potentially harmfuloxygen-derived radicals.

    Thus, the influence of oxygen-derived free radicals in anygiven inflammatory reaction depends on the balancebetween the production and the inactivation of thesemetabolites by cells and tissues
