Inflammation: Acute, Chronic and Systemic Mon. 08/23/10
Design a System Recognize injury promptly & properly Eliminate invaders & debris Communicate & continuously adjust to changing conditions Continue the response as long as needed Prepare for rebuilding
Sources of Injury Traumatic Infectious Chemical Immune reactions (hypersensitivity)
Immune system response begins with platelets andneutrophils or mast cells
Neoplastic
Inflammation Every person, every disease Destroy, dilute or wall off the injurious agent A closely regulated protective reaction Relies on vascularized tissue
Learning Objectives1. Acute and chronic inflammation features2. 3 components of the inflammatory system3. Steps of leukocyte emigration, chemotaxis and phagocytosis4. Nine mediator classes5. How inhibitors regulate & cytokines transition to chronic phase6. Four causes of chronic inflammation7. Cardinal signs of acute inflammation
1. Acute and chronic inflammation features:
Acute vs Chronic Inflammation:Acute Chronic
Immediate Gradual Transient (does not last long) Prolonged (persistence of injury-causing agent) Edema Fibrosis & vessels (change in architecture)
Blood vessels derive from preexisting blood vessels (angiogenesis) Essential for normal wound healing
Neutrophils Mononuclear cells (monocytes, macrophages, lymphocytes, plasma cells) Fibrin Collagen Necrosis (cell death cleaned up fast) Resolution of necrosis (takes a long time to clean up debris)
FIGURE 27A Nature ofleukocyte infiltrates in
inflammatory reactions. Thephotomicrographs arerepresentative of the early(neutrophilic) (A) and later(mononuclear) cellularinfiltrates (B) seen in aninflammatory reaction in themyocardium following
ischemic necrosis(infarction). The kinetics ofedema and cellularinfiltration (C) areapproximations.
Test q: Which of the following is a marker of chronic inflammation?Capillary formation.

Test q:A 20y/o college student comes to your office w/vague complaints of fatigue and right upper quadrant fullness. His liver enzymes are elevatedand he has a family history of primary biliary cirrhosis, so you request a liver biopsy. When you review the slides w/the pathologist, he points out
prominent periportal lymphocytic infiltration w/germinal centers and scattered fibroblasts in the interlobular zone. The most likely pathologic diagnosisis: chronic inflammation.
Figure: Histology of Acute Inflammation
FIGURE 217A The characteristic histopathology of acuteinflammation. A, Normal lung shows thin (virtually invisible)blood vessels in the alveolar walls and no cells in thealveoli. B, The vascular component of acute inflammation is
manifested by congested blood vessels (packed witherythrocytes), resulting from stasis. C, The cellular
component of the response is manifested by large numbersof leukocytes (neutrophils) in the alveoli.
Acute inflammation- dilation of blood vessels, neutrophilscome in.
2. 3 Components of the Inflammatory System:1. Vessels
Arterioles Venules Lymphatics
2. Leukocytes3. Soluble mediators: many produced by cell and effective in neighborhood around cell. Some in serum but only
activated in location of acute inflammatory response. Paracrine Serum enzyme Cytokines
Proteins produced by many cell types (activated lymphocytes and macrophages; endothelial, epithelial,connective tissue)
TNF + IL-1: produced by macrophages (activated) Endothelial activation: endothelial adhesion; chemical mediators
Vascular and Cellular Responses Increased blood flow to tissue (vasodilation)
Increased vascular permeability (leakage) only certain vessels.Arterioles dilate and let in more blood, venules become moreleaky. Migration of leukocytes out of the blood vessels (chemotaxis)
FIGURE 22 Formation of transudates and exudates. A, Normalhydrostatic pressure (blue arrows) is about 32 mm Hg at thearterial end of a capillary bed and 12 mm Hg at the venous end;the mean colloid osmotic pressure of tissues is approximately 25mm Hg (green arrows), which is equal to the mean capillarypressure. Therefore, the net flow of fluid across the vascular bedis almost nil. B, A transudate is formed when fluid leaks outbecause of increased hydrostatic pressure or decreased osmoticpressure. C, An exudate is formed in inflammation, becausevascular permeability increases as a result of increased interendothelial spaces.
Normal: slight leakage out of vessel Congestive heart failure, fluid overload: increased hydrostatic pressure fluid leaks out more. Transudate: fluid with low protein content, little or no cellular material, low specific gravity. Ultrafiltrate of blood
plasma that results from osmotic or hydrostatic imbalance across vessel wall without an increase in vascularpermeability.
Exudate: escape of fluid, proteins, blood cells from vascular system into interstitial tissue or body cavities. Increase innormal permeability of small blood vessels due to injury inflammation. Blood flow slows down in acuteinflammatory vessels. Have extravascular fluid with high protein concentration, cellular debris, high specific gravity.
Test q: In acute inflammation, the most significant increase in vascular permeability occurs in: Post-capillary venules.

Figure: Capillaries dilate with increased pressure due to dilation of arterioles. Venules get leaky.
Vascular Changes: Transient Vasoconstriction
Hemostasis: slow moving red cells (b/c vasodilation followstransient vasoconstriction)
Vasodilation (biggest effect) Mediated by prostaglandins and Nitric oxide Arteriole smooth muscle relaxes Relax vessels allow more blood flow
Increased Permeability (leakage) Transient, sustained or delayed
Normal: Capillary has only 1 endothelial Injury: Stimulate endothelial cells tocell around vessel. Venules has ~3. contract and release tight junctions
bt cells increased interendothelialspaces.
3. Emigration, chemotaxis and phagocytosis:Leukocyte Extravasation Margination
Leukocytes approach endothelium
RBCs aggregate in venules Neutrophils pushed from central to periphery
Rolling Mediated by selectin Weak bonding bt cell and endothelium Activation of selectin adhesion molecules on
surface of neutrophils and endothelial cells Neutrophils loosely bind selectins and roll
along endothelium Adhesion (pavementing)
Tight integrin (2) binding
Communication in cytoplasm, rearrangement of cytosol Adhesion molecules firmly bind neutrophils to endothelial cells
Catecholamine, corticosteroids, and lithium inhibit activation ofadhesion molecules
Transmigration (Diapedesis) Integrin Find a hole neutrophils dissolve basement membrane and enter
interstitial tissue Functions of exudate: (1) dilutes bacterial toxins (2) provides
opsonins Chemotaxis
Neutrophils follow chemical gradients that lead to the infection site Chemotactic mediators bind to neutrophil receptors; binding
causes release of calcium which increases neutrophil motility
Above:Arrow = arteriole. Rabbitinjected with carbon blackpigment. Histamine put in area.Venules more leaky due todilated vessels. Contraction ofendothelial cells and increasedinterendothelial spaces is elicitedby histamine.
Test q: During acute inflammation, neutrophilsmigrate through the walls of the venules. This
migration requires integrins and selectins.
Test q:A 6y/o child has a history of recurrentinfections w/pyogenic bacteria, including Staphaureus and Strep pneumoniae. The infections areaccompanied by a neutrophilic leukocytosis.
Microscopic exam of a biopsy specimen obtainedfrom an area of soft tissue necrosis showsmicrobial organisms but very few neutrophils. An
analysis of neutrophil function shows a defect inrolling. This childs increased susceptibility toinfection is most likely caused by a defect in which
of the following molecules? Selectins.
Test q: In the acute inflammatory reaction, the
principal function of selectins and integrins is toenhance leukocyte binding to the endothelium.

FIGURE 24 The multistep processof leukocyte migration through bloodvessels, shown here for neutrophils.The leukocytes first roll, then becomeactivated and adhere to endothelium,then transmigrate across theendothelium, pierce the basementmembrane, and migrate towardchemoattractants emanating from thesource of injury. Different moleculesplay predominant roles in different
steps of this processselectins inrolling; chemokines (usually
displayed bound to proteoglycans) inactivating the neutrophils to increaseavidity of integrins; integrins in firmadhesion; and CD31 (PECAM-1) intransmigration. Neutrophils expresslow levels of L-selectin; they bind toendothelial cells predominantly via P-and E-selectins. ICAM-1, intercellular
adhesion molecule 1; TNF, tumornecrosis factor.
TNF and IL-1--released by macrophages--act on
endothelial of post-capillary venules and induceexpression of adhesion molecules.
Adhesion Molecule Expression:
FIGURE 25: Regulation of expression of endothelial andleukocyte adhesion molecules. A, Redistribution of P-selectin from intracellular stores to the cell surface. B,Increased surface expression of selectins and ligands forintegrins upon cytokine activation of endothelium. C,Increased binding avidity of integrins induced bychemokines. Clustering of integrins contributes to theirincreased binding avidity (not shown). IL-1, interleukin-1;TNF, tumor necrosis factor.
Weibel-Palade bodies: endothelial granules that store P-selectin; redistribution of P-selectin in W-P bodies tosurface.
Chemokines produced at injury site enter blood vessel and bind to endothelial cell proteoglycans; inducedexpression of integrin ligands on endothelium and activation of integrins to high affinity state on leukocytes

Chemotaxis: a family of 40 peptides that attract inflammatory cells. Increasing chemical gradient Exogenous agents
Bacterial N-formyl-methionine peptides Endogenous products
Complement (C3a & C5a) Lipoxygenase products (LTB4) Cytokines (TNF, IL-1)
- IL-1 is produced by macrophages. Macrophagesrelease it once theyre at inflammatory site.
Chemokines (IL-8, ,,)
Phagocytosis: Neutrophil has to recognize that material is foreign. Recognition and attachment
- Opsonins: IgG-Fc, C3b, iC3b, collectins- attach to bacteria (or foreign bodies)- Neutrophils have receptors for IgG
and C3b- Enhances neutrophil recognition and
attachment to foreign bodies
- Leukocyte receptors: FcR, CR1/2
Engulfment: phagocytose; phagocytic vacuoles
Killing and degradation:- Oxidative burst- Enzyme digestion
Phagocytosis & Oxidative Burst:
FIGURE 29 Phagocytosis and intracellulardestruction of microbes. Phagocytosis of a particle(e.g., bacterium) involves binding to receptors on theleukocyte membrane, engulfment, and fusion of
lysosomes with phagocytic vacuoles. This is followedby destruction of ingested particles within the
phagolysosomes by lysosomal enzymes and byreactive oxygen and nitrogen species. The microbicidalproducts generated from superoxide are hypochlorite(HOCl) and hydroxyl radical (OH), and from nitricoxide (NO) it is peroxynitrite (OONO). Duringphagocytosis, granule contents may be released into
extracellular tissues (not shown). MPO,myeloperoxidase; iNOS, inducible NO synthase.
Reactive Oxygen Species: Respiratory burst: oxidizes NADPH and inprocess, reduces oxygen superoxide anion, which is converted to H2O2 Occurs in lysosome H2O2 not able to efficiently kill microbes; enzyme myeloperoxidase in
neutrophil granules converts H2O2 to hypochlorite.
Neutrophil Granules Specific (secondary)
Smaller, fuse with plasmalemma Lysozyme: hydrolyzes muramic acid-N-acetylglucosamine bond, found
in glycopeptide coat of all bacteria Collagenase IV
Azurophil (primary) Fusion with phagosome Myeloperoxidase, NADPH oxidase Acid & neutral protease

Figure:Pseudopodtoward attractant. Projectcytoplasm indirection that hasmost chemotaxis
Test q: The oxidative burst ofleukocytes produces a substance
which is the most potent bactericidalproduct of the cell. This substanceis called: Hypochlorous acid
(HOCl). (Other choices: Bacterialpermeability increasing protein(BPI); Major basic protein (MBP);
Lactoferrin; Lysozyme)
Test q: A 10y/o boy suffers recurring infections due to Strep pneumoniae. He isfound to have an inherited disorder of a complement factor such that phagocytosis
is deficient. This factor is most likely: C3b.
Test q: Phagocytosis of bacteria by neutrophils or other bactericidal cells is greatly
facilitated by coating the foreign organisms w/substances recognized by thephagocytes. These attachment-promoting substances, called opsonin, arepresent in the ECF of inflamed tissue. One example of an opsonin is: Fc
fragments of IgG. REPEATED TWICE (but on 2005 answer key, says answer isC5a even though Fc fragments of IgG is a choicetypo?)

4. Nine mediator classes:
Soluble Factor Overview Paracrine cell products
Nitric Oxide (NO) Vasoactive amines (Histamine) Arachidonic acid metabolites (COX,LOX) Platelet Activating Factor (PAF) Neuropeptides (SP)
Plasma protease systems Bradykinin, Kallekrein Complement cascade Clotting products and enzymes
Nitric Oxide Vasodilates Produced by endothelium and macrophages From L-arginine, O2, NADPH, cofactors
NO synthesized from L-arginine via nitric oxide synthase (NOS) Nitric Oxide Synthase Endothelial, neuronal, inducible on macrophages
Inhibits rolling, adhesion of leukocytes (thought to control inflammatory response) Three types of NOS: eNOS (endothelial), nNOS (neuronal), iNOS (inducible) Antimicrobial free radicals released (NO is microbicidal)
Vasoactive Amines Histamine
Stored in granules of mast cells and basophils Granules released into surrounding inflammatory tissue by allergen binding multiple IgE molecules on mast cell
Test q: In acute inflammation, arterioles dilate and venules become more permeable (leaky). These changes occur when mast cells release HistamineTest q:A woman who is allergic to cats visits a neighbor who has several cats. During the visit, she inhales cat dander and within minutes, shedevelops nasal congestion w/abundant nasal secretions. Which of the following substances is most likely to produce these findings? Histamine.
Test q:A man w/a mold allergy returns to his recently flooded home in New Orleans. During the visit, he develops nasal congestion w/abundant nasalsecretions. Which of the following substances is most likely to produce these findings? Histamine.Test q: Of those listed, the earliest chemical mediator of inflammation is: histamine. (Other choices: Hageman factor, Bradykinin, serotonin, Kallikrein)
Serotonin (5-HT) Stored in granules of platelets and enterochromaffin cells Released when platelets aggregate
Vasodilate and increase permeability
FIGURE 211 Generation of arachidonic acid metabolitesand their roles in inflammation. The moleculartargets of action of some anti-inflammatory
drugs are indicated by a red X. Not shown areagents that inhibit leukotriene production byinhibition of 5-lipoxygenase (e.g., Zileuton) orblock leukotriene receptors (e.g.,Montelukast). COX, cyclooxygenase; HETE,hydroxyeicosatetraenoic acid; HPETE,hydroperoxyeicosatetraenoic acid.
Arachidonic acid
- when inflammatory stimulation, maybe further metabolised byCycloxygenase pathway orLipoxygenase pathway (producelipoxins- inhibitors of inflammatoryresponse and also chemotaxinsimportant in asthma response)
Cyclooxygenase pathway- balance between prostacyclin and thromboxaneTest q: We now believe that many of the anti-inflammatory effects of glucocorticoid hormone-related drugs are caused by boosting of cytoplasmic
calcium-dependent phospholipid-binding proteins called lipocortin. Since lipcortin-1 inhibits phospholipase A2, glucocorticoid indirectly decreases thelevel of free arachidonic acid by cells receiving inflammatory stimuli. One consequence of decreased free arachidonic acid is decreased vasodilation byproducts of: the cyclooxygenase pathway.
Test q:A clever pharmaceutical rep is telling you about how his companysamazing drug counteracts all of the soluble mediators of acute inflammation. He
describes how this drug counteracts the effects of plasma protease products,arachidonic acid metabolites, histamine, platelet activating factor, and evenneuropeptides. You, however, know something about acute inflammatory
mediators. Noticing that he has left something out, you ask him what his drugdoes for: Nitric oxide.

Phopholipase A2: primary enzyme that releasesarachidonic acid from membrane phospholipids.
AA-derived mediators--aka eicosanoids--synthesizedby two major classes of enzymes:1. Cyclooxygenase: generate prostaglandins2. Lipoxygenase: Leukotriense and lipoxins
Hageman Factor XII: protein synthesized by liverthat circulates in inactive form. Inflammation andblood clotting are intertwined, with each promotingthe other. Anytime clotting promoted, you also getfibrinolysis. Deposition and degradation balance.
- Plasmin: activates fibrinolysis and complement.- Kallikrein: enzyme that cleaves precursor to
bradykinin- Bradykinin:
Increase permeability Contraction of smooth muscle Vasodilation
Pain
Fibrin clot formation also occurs with fibrinolysis(cleaves fibrin, solubilize clot)
Plasmin also cleaves complement protein C3 toproduce C3 fragment C3a + C5a: increase vascular permeability C5a: chemotaxis

Mediator Functions:
5. How inhibitors regulate & cytokines transition to chronic phaseBecause of the destructive effects of lysosomal enzymes, the initial leukocytic infiltration if unchecked can potentiatefurther inflammation and tissue damage.

Activated T cells produce cytokines that recruit macrophages (TNF, IL-17,chemokines) and others that activate macrophages (IFN). Different subsetsof T cells (called TH1 and TH17) may produce different sets of cytokines;these are described in Chapter 6. Activated macrophages in turn stimulate Tcells by presenting antigens and via cytokines (such as IL-12).
IFN- activates more macrophages.

Embryonic Stem Cells Up to Blastocyst stage (32 cells) Developmental plasticity in culture
Chimeras in all organs when reimplanted in another mouse blastocyst Human embryonic stem cells (HES) proliferative over 70 passages in vitro HES do not form teratomas in nude mice
No therapeutic uses yet
Stem Cell Therapy:FIGURE 36: Steps involved in stem cell therapy, using
embryonic stem (ES) cells or induced pluripotent stem (iPS)cells. Left side, Therapeutic cloning using ES cells. The diploid
nucleus of an adult cell from a patient is introduced into an enucleatedoocyte. The oocyte is activated, and the zygote divides tobecome a blastocyst that contains the donor DNA. Theblastocyst is dissociated to obtain ES cells. Right side, Stem celltherapy using iPS cells. The cells of a patient are placed inculture and transduced with genes encoding transcription factors, togenerate iPS cells. Both ES and iPS cells are capable of differentiatinginto various cell types. The goal of stem cell therapy is to
repopulate damaged organs of a patient or to correct a geneticdefect, using the cells of the same patient to avoidimmunological rejection.
4. 2 unique basement membrane molecules
Extracellular Matrix (ECM) Scaffold and support for cell adherence, migration, proliferation Binds growth factors and factors for cell migration and differentiation Binds water and ions for turgor, mineralization and mechanical properties
3 major components Structural collagen, elastin (lung) Adhesive glycoproteins fibronectin, laminin Stabilizing gel proteoglycans, hyaluronan
Figure: ECM components FIGURE 312 Main components ofthe extracellular matrix (ECM),including collagens, proteoglycans,and adhesive glycoproteins. Bothepithelial and mesenchymal cells
(e.g., fibroblasts) interact with ECMvia integrins. Basement membranesand interstitial ECM have differentarchitecture and generalcomposition, although there is someoverlap in their constituents. For thesake of simplification, many ECM
components (e.g., elastin, fibrillin,hyaluronan, and syndecan) are notincluded.

Basement Membrane (BM) Spreading of epithelial or endothelial cells Collagen type IV Laminin
Links cells to BM matrix by collagenIV & heparan
Fibronectin Adheres to cells by RGD integrin-
binding motif Also attaches to heparan, collagen &
fibrin Heparan sulfate
Ligand for both laminin andfibronectin
Center portion of laminin attaches to base ofcell, other parts fold back into BM. Importantfor attaching epithelial cells. There are alsorelease signals for when cells begin to divide.See various binding domains for ECM(heparan, fibrin, collagen, etc.)
5. Collagen synthesis & structure
Collagen Structure Tropocollagen is basic unit (monomer) 3 alpha chains in each unit
Triple helix, left handed (DNA is right-handed helix)
27 collagen types determined by 41 genes on 14 chromosomes
Fibrillar collagens: I, II, III, V, IX Have 67 nm banding from linking
zones Present in tendon, scar, strong
connective tissue As a scar matures, type III type I
Nonfibrillary collagens: IV, others Amorphous (no banding pattern) Present in interstitium, submucosa,
BM
Lysine hydroxyl groups form very strong cross-links.
Test q:A 25y/o med student wrecks her bike in a construction zone, resulting in several abrasions to her arms and knees. In a few days, a scab forms
which contains: Type III collagen.Test q:A 23y/o woman receiving corticosteroid therapy for an autoimmune disease has an abscess on her upper outer right arm. She undergoes minosurgery to incise and drain the abscess, but the wound heals poorly over the next month. Which of the following aspects of wound healing is most likely
to be deficient in this patient? Collagen synthesis.

Five key Growth Factors:
Symbol Source Functions
EGF Platelets, macrophages, saliva, urine, milk,plasma
Mitogenic: keratinocytes (aka squamousepithelial cells) and fibroblasts; keratinocytemigration
TGF- Platelets, T-cells, endoth., macrophages, smms, FB
Chemotactic inflam., FB, sm ms; scar,angiogenic, MMP, epith. prolif.
VEGF Many types of cells vascular permeability; mitogenic:endothelial cells; angiogenic
PDGF Platelets, macrophages, endothelial cells,keratinocytes, smooth muscle cells
Chemotactic: phagocytes, fibroblasts, sm.ms;Activates: phagocytes, fibroblasts; Mitogenic:fibroblasts, endothelial, sm.muscle cells;MMPs, fibronectin, MPS, angiogenesis andwound contraction

7. Wound healing & maturation, zinc function
Surgical Wound Healing A model for dealing with other wound types Primary intention
Clean, closely approximated margins Minimal clot/granulation tissue, motion, bacteria
Secondary intention Large tissue defect or reopened surgical wound Greater inflammation and granulation tissue Healing time depends on size of defect Wound contraction up to 95% at 6 weeks (Gpig, rabbit)
Myofibroblasts Elastin remodeling
Fresh Wound (gray = clot w/inflammatory cells in it) Clean incision Limit motion No infection Minimal foreign material Adequate nutrition and circulation
Granulation Tissue Replacement of Injury Collagen accumulation is dynamic
Depends on both synthesis and degradation Metalloproteinases
require zinc ions (so An important for a person with healing wounds)
Serine proteases form leaky vessels Cause continual turnover of ECM in granulation tissue
Granulation Tissue Thin wall vessels Edematous/disorganized stroma Fibroblasts Decreasing inflammation Type III collagen (wiggly lines) Reepithelialization
Test q:As granulation tissue matures, collage type III is
replaced by collagen type I, the wound contracts and bloodvessels appear to dissipate from the reparative tissue. Thisprocess of wound tissue remodeling requires a special class
of protease that requires: Zinc.Test q:A 58y/o physician experiences poor healing of a footlaceration. He decides to take a supplement of __ to
enhance metalloproteinase activity. Zinc.
