Cellular Adaptations of Growth and Differentiation
By Dr: Nassar Ayoub
![Page 2: Lecture 2 (cellular adaptation)](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051016/55a73a301a28ab380e8b4697/html5/thumbnails/2.jpg)
Overview
• Adaptability of cells to an altered environment– Physiological and pathological stimuli
• Changes in growth pattern– Hyperplasia, hypertrophy, atrophy,
involution, metaplasia• Apoptosis• Growth factors – Role in altered environment
![Page 3: Lecture 2 (cellular adaptation)](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051016/55a73a301a28ab380e8b4697/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
Why is this important?
• Extremely common responses in disease• Certain adaptations in growth act as a fertile
ground for the later development of neoplasia - cancer formation…
• Nomenclature is used in clinical work.

Adaptability of cells to an altered environment
• Cells are constantly exposed to changes in their environment
• Cells can adapt to acceptable changes in their environment by modifying metabolism or growth pattern
• Environmental changes can be physiological or pathological
![Page 5: Lecture 2 (cellular adaptation)](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051016/55a73a301a28ab380e8b4697/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
In respond to excessive physiologic stresses or pathologic stimuli cell may adapt, where a new altered steady state is achieved preserving cell viability.

Examples of pathological stimuli
• Nutritional
• Immune
• Endocrine
• Physical agents
• Chemical agents
• Infections
• Anoxia
• Genetic
![Page 7: Lecture 2 (cellular adaptation)](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051016/55a73a301a28ab380e8b4697/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
![Page 8: Lecture 2 (cellular adaptation)](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051016/55a73a301a28ab380e8b4697/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Metabolic regulation• Cells may adapt by
metabolic regulation– Induction of enzyme– Downregulation of enzyme– Increased synthesis of
product– Reduced secretion of
product
• Metabolic adaptation is usually not associated with morphological changes
![Page 9: Lecture 2 (cellular adaptation)](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051016/55a73a301a28ab380e8b4697/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Increased functional demand
• Increased functional demand can be met by two main responses
– Increase in cell size: hypertrophy– Increase in cell number: hyperplasia
• These may occur independently or together.• Reflected by an increase in size and weight of
an organ
![Page 10: Lecture 2 (cellular adaptation)](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051016/55a73a301a28ab380e8b4697/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
• 1- Physiological adaptations They represent response of cells to normal
stimulation by hormones or endogenous chemical substances
e.g. a. enlargement of the breast and induction of
lactation by pregnancy. b. replacement of labile tissues, e.g. skin, bone
marrow c. cyclic as endometrium.
![Page 11: Lecture 2 (cellular adaptation)](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051016/55a73a301a28ab380e8b4697/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
• 2-Pathological adaptations
• adaptations occurring as a result of certain stimuli which are not lethal,
• i.e. a state intermediate between normal unstressed cells and injured overstressed ones.
![Page 12: Lecture 2 (cellular adaptation)](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051016/55a73a301a28ab380e8b4697/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Adaptive changes in cell growth and differentiation include: a- hyperplasia b- hypertrophy c- atrophy d- metaplasia
![Page 13: Lecture 2 (cellular adaptation)](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051016/55a73a301a28ab380e8b4697/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Hyperplasia
• Definition:
It is an increase in the size of an organ or tissue due to increase in the number of constituent parenchymal cells. It may be physiological or pathological.
![Page 14: Lecture 2 (cellular adaptation)](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051016/55a73a301a28ab380e8b4697/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
• Physiological hyperplasia• hormonal as in the female breast during
puberty and pregnancy • compensatory as in hyperplasia of liver
hepatocytes after partial hepatectomy due to increase in its functional demands.
![Page 15: Lecture 2 (cellular adaptation)](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051016/55a73a301a28ab380e8b4697/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Physiological hyperplasia
Normal uterus
Pregnant uterus
![Page 16: Lecture 2 (cellular adaptation)](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051016/55a73a301a28ab380e8b4697/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
• Pathological hyperplasia
• Increased level of circulating hormones produce hyperplasia in the target organs
e.g. a- hyperplasia of the endometrium due to hyperestrinism b-senile prostatic hyperplasia due to increase in the level of
androgen and estrogen.
![Page 17: Lecture 2 (cellular adaptation)](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051016/55a73a301a28ab380e8b4697/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
However, hyperplasia due to certain stimuli stops with removal of these stimuli and may serve a useful function.
![Page 18: Lecture 2 (cellular adaptation)](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051016/55a73a301a28ab380e8b4697/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Hypertrophy • Definition
• It is an increase in the size of an organ or tissue due to enlargement of individual cells without increase in the number of cells.
• It usually occurs in organs in which proliferation and mitosis are restricted
e.g. skeletal muscle and heart muscles.
• It may be physiological or pathological.
![Page 19: Lecture 2 (cellular adaptation)](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051016/55a73a301a28ab380e8b4697/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
• 1- Physiological hypertrophy
e.g. pregnant uterus, and muscles of athletes.
• 2- Pathological hypertrophy
(adaptive hypertrophy)e.g. a- hypertrophy of the
stomach in pyloric stenosis b- cardiac muscle
hypertrophy in chronically hypertensive patients.
![Page 20: Lecture 2 (cellular adaptation)](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051016/55a73a301a28ab380e8b4697/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
![Page 21: Lecture 2 (cellular adaptation)](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051016/55a73a301a28ab380e8b4697/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Hypertrophy of the heart
![Page 22: Lecture 2 (cellular adaptation)](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051016/55a73a301a28ab380e8b4697/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Hypertrophy and hyperplasia are closely related and both may contribute to an overall increase in the organ size.
![Page 23: Lecture 2 (cellular adaptation)](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051016/55a73a301a28ab380e8b4697/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Atrophy
Definition• Reduction of the size of an organ
after reaching its normal adult size.• As a result of decrease in both
the number and size of the cells.• Often associated with fibrosis.• May be physiological or pathological
![Page 24: Lecture 2 (cellular adaptation)](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051016/55a73a301a28ab380e8b4697/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
• Physiological atrophy• Involution: • A form of physiologic atrophy. • Return to normal size after hyperplasia and
hypertrophy, if the causative stimuli are removed and equilibrium returns back..
Eg• uterus after labour. • atrophy of the ovary after menopause• senile atrophy of geriatrics.
![Page 25: Lecture 2 (cellular adaptation)](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051016/55a73a301a28ab380e8b4697/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
• Pathological atrophy• It depends on the cause. It may be
localized or generalized
• Eg.
a- Ischemic atrophy: due to decrease of blood supply e.g. atherosclerosis
![Page 26: Lecture 2 (cellular adaptation)](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051016/55a73a301a28ab380e8b4697/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Renal artery stenosis
![Page 27: Lecture 2 (cellular adaptation)](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051016/55a73a301a28ab380e8b4697/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
• b- Pressure atrophy: due to long continued
pressure on a tissue leading to decrease in its blood supply with atrophy of its cells
• e.g. amyloidosis of the liver in which the extracellular deposition of amyloid substance leads to pressure atrophy of hepatocytes.
Amyloidosis of the liver
![Page 28: Lecture 2 (cellular adaptation)](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051016/55a73a301a28ab380e8b4697/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
• c-Neuropathic atrophy: • e.g. when a motor nerve
supplying a muscle is affected as in poliomyelitis
• d- Decreased work load: • e.g. immobilized limb• e- Starvation: leading to
generalized atrophy. The atrophic cells in all
cases, are still surviving cells, but with diminished function.
![Page 29: Lecture 2 (cellular adaptation)](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051016/55a73a301a28ab380e8b4697/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
Metaplasia Definition• It is a reversible change in which an adult cell
type (epithelial or mesenchymal) is replaced by another adult cell type of the same tissue.
![Page 30: Lecture 2 (cellular adaptation)](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051016/55a73a301a28ab380e8b4697/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
It may represent an adaptive substitution of cells more sensitive to stress by other cell types better able to withstand the adverse environment.
Metaplasia is thought to arise by genetic 'deprogramming" of epithelial stem cell or of undifferentiated mesenchymal cells in connective tissue.
![Page 31: Lecture 2 (cellular adaptation)](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051016/55a73a301a28ab380e8b4697/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
• Epithelial squamous metaplasia
e.g. a- uterine endocervical glandular epithelium due to chronic irritation
b-transitional epithelium of urinary bladder, ureter or renal pelvis due to chronic irritation by bilharziasis or stones
c-columnar epithelium of gall bladder due to chronic irritation by stones or inflammation
d-pseudostratified ciliated columnar respiratory epithelium due to chronic irritation by habitual cigarette smoking or in vitamin A deficiency.
![Page 32: Lecture 2 (cellular adaptation)](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051016/55a73a301a28ab380e8b4697/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
Squamous metaplasia Respiratory epithelium
![Page 33: Lecture 2 (cellular adaptation)](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051016/55a73a301a28ab380e8b4697/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
• The adaptive metaplastic epithelium is better able to survive, but important protective mechanisms (such as mucus secretion and ciliary clearance of particulate matter in the respiratory epithelium) are lost.
• If the influences that induce metaplastic transformation of the epithelium are persistent, they may lead to cancer transformation in the metaplastic epithelium, e.g. squamous metaplasia of transitional epithelium of the urinary bladder by bilharziasis will lead to squamous cell carcinoma.
![Page 34: Lecture 2 (cellular adaptation)](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051016/55a73a301a28ab380e8b4697/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
• Mesenchymal cell metaplasia:
Myxomatous change of fibrous tissue. Transformation of fibroblasts to osteoblasts or chondroblasts to produce bone or cartilage in soft tissues in foci of injury.
![Page 35: Lecture 2 (cellular adaptation)](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051016/55a73a301a28ab380e8b4697/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
Examples of metaplasia
Bladder transitional epithelium (T) with metaplasia to squamous epithelium (S) in response to a bladder stone…
![Page 36: Lecture 2 (cellular adaptation)](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051016/55a73a301a28ab380e8b4697/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
• Hypoplasia
It is the decrease in size of an organ due to incomplete development in embryonic or fetal life e.g. kidney and uterus.
![Page 37: Lecture 2 (cellular adaptation)](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051016/55a73a301a28ab380e8b4697/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
• Agenesis
• Complete absence of an organ or a part of an organ e.g. solitary kidney, in such case the other kidney is absent.
![Page 38: Lecture 2 (cellular adaptation)](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051016/55a73a301a28ab380e8b4697/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
• Dysplasia
• Dysplasia (dys-, "bad" or "difficult" and plasis, "formation") is an ambiguous term used in pathology to refer to Abnormal development or growth of tissues,
organs, or cells.
