Hypoxia Hypoxia – deprivation of oxygen supply leading to decreasing of aerobic oxidation
Hypoxia deprives the cell of oxygen and interrupts oxidative metabolism and the generation of ATP. This is the main reason of cell damage.
Main reasons of hypoxia:
- Ischemia (atherosclerosis, thrombus)
- Decreased oxygen-carrying capacity of the blood (anemia, respiratory insufficiency)

Morphological and functional changes may be
reversible at the early stages of injury or in case of
moderate injury.
Characteristics of reversible injury
1. Of oxidative phosphorylation
2. Cell swelling
3. Fatty degeneration
![Page 9: Cellular and tissue injury](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081412/629bdad29f2afd30eb46db3e/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Features of cellular injury
1. Cellular response depends on etiology,
duration and severity of stimuli
2. Cellular reactions on injury depend on cell’s
type, condition, ability to adaptation
3. Cellular injury is a result of various
biochemical mechanisms’ influence over
vital components of cell
4. Any injurious agent may induce few
interrelated mechanisms simultaneously
![Page 10: Cellular and tissue injury](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081412/629bdad29f2afd30eb46db3e/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Mechanisms of cell injury
1. Depletion of ATP
2. Damage to Mitochondria
3. Influx of Calcium
4. Accumulation of Oxygen-Derived Free Radicals (Oxidative Stress)
5. Defects in Membrane Permeability
6. Damage to DNA and Proteins
![Page 11: Cellular and tissue injury](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081412/629bdad29f2afd30eb46db3e/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
1. Depletion of ATP • ATP - the energy store of
cells o required for almost all
synthetic and degradative processes within the cell • membrane transport, protein
synthesis, lipogenesis
• The major causes of ATP depletion o reduced supply of oxygen and
nutrients (ischemia)
o mitochondrial damage,
o toxins (e.g., cyanide).
![Page 12: Cellular and tissue injury](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081412/629bdad29f2afd30eb46db3e/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
2. Damage to Mitochondria
• Mitochondria -critical players in
cell injury and death.
• Mitochondria can be damaged
by
o cytosolic Ca2+,
o reactive oxygen species (ROS)
o oxygen deprivation (hypoxia, toxins).
• Two major consequences of
mitochondrial damage: o loss of mitochondrial membrane potential
and pH changes, resulting in failure of oxidative phosphorylation and progressive depletion of ATP
o leakage of cytochrome c and other
proteins into the cytosol and death by apoptosis.
![Page 13: Cellular and tissue injury](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081412/629bdad29f2afd30eb46db3e/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
3. Influx of Calcium
• Increased cytosolic Ca++ o activates a number of enzymes,
with potentially deleterious cellular effects
o induction of apoptosis by direct activation of caspases and by increasing mitochondrial permeability
• Increase in cytosolic Ca++ by: o increased influx across the
plasma membrane
o ischemia and certain toxins
o release of Ca2+ from the intracellular stores

4. Accumulation of Oxygen-Derived Free
Radicals (Oxidative Stress)
• Free radicals have an unpaired electron in their outer orbit o cause autocatalytic reactions (molecules that react with free
radicals are in turn converted into free radicals, thus propagating the chain of damage)
• Oxidative stress – a condition called in production of ROS or degradation - an excess of free radicals
• Generated by: o Absorption of radiant energy
o Oxidation of endogenous and exogenous compounds
o Oxidation of exogenous compounds

4. Accumulation of Oxygen-Derived Free
Radicals (Oxidative Stress)
• Reactions relevant for cell injury by ROS o Lipid peroxidation damage to cellular and organellar
membranes
o Protein cross-linking and fragmentation due to oxidative
modification of amino acids and proteins
o DNA damage due to reactions of free radicals with thymine
![Page 16: Cellular and tissue injury](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081412/629bdad29f2afd30eb46db3e/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
5. Defects in Membrane Permeability
• The plasma membrane can be
damaged by: o ischemia,
o various microbial toxins,
o lytic complement components,
o physical and chemical agents.
• The most important sites of membrane damage during
cell injury are: o Mitochondrial membrane
damage
o Plasma membrane damage • leads to loss of osmotic balance
and influx of fluids and ions, as well as loss of cellular contents.
o Injury to lysosomal membranes • leads to leakage of their enzymes
into the cytoplasm and enzymatic digestion of cell components, necrosis.

6. Damage to DNA and Proteins
![Page 18: Cellular and tissue injury](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081412/629bdad29f2afd30eb46db3e/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Body reactivity • Reactivity is ability of the organism to alter
functional activity of the systems and organs for the
adaptation of organism to new conditions of the
environment for the survival. The concept
“reactivity” is connected with the concept
“resistance”
![Page 19: Cellular and tissue injury](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081412/629bdad29f2afd30eb46db3e/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Types of reactivity 1) Biological reactivity (primary/physiological) is a
result of the morphological and physiological
peculiarities of all individuals, which are of the
same biological species.
2)Individual reactivity: is the reactivity of every
individual. Individual reactivity is determined by age,
sex, heredity, constitution, and functional conditions of
organism’s regulatory systems, external environmental
influences.

etc.)

during disease
during disease
Are formed by immune system

Clinical classification of reactivity
• NORMERGICAL: Common course and symptoms of
disease.
• HYPERERGICAL: Intensive rapid course, with greatly
marked symptoms.
• HYPOERGICAL: Inactive course, poorly marked
symptoms.
Ergon means act (action)
![Page 22: Cellular and tissue injury](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081412/629bdad29f2afd30eb46db3e/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Resistance • Resistance is a state of stability of an organism to
the influence of pathogenic factors
CLASSIFICATION OF THE RESISTANCE
1) active
2) passive
3) primary
4) secondary
5) specific and unspecific
![Page 23: Cellular and tissue injury](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081412/629bdad29f2afd30eb46db3e/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Resistance 1) Active resistance is a result of the organism adaptation
to the long time pathological factor influences.
2) Passive resistance is a result of anatomical and physiological peculiarities of each organism.
3) Primary (congenital) resistance is a result of the inherited peculiarities of an organism and it manifest itself after birth of the person.
4) Secondary (acquired) resistance is a result of organism functional reactions changes, which occur during the whole life.
5) Unspecific resistance is the opposition to the influence of many pathological agents. Specific resistance is the opposition to the defined agent influence, for example, microorganisms; its result is activation of the immune system.
