Vasodilation and vascular leakage
Cellular: recruitmentactivationfunctionstissue Injury
» Tumor – edema due to plasma leakage» Rubor – dilation of arterioles and
engorgement of microvasculature» Calor – increased local temperature» Dolor –probably due to stretching and
prostaglandins
MARGINATION
ADHERENCE
EMIGRATION AND CHEMOTAXIS
The tongue of the frog provides an opportunity to see the microcirculation and the movements of neutrophils.
OBSERVATIONS OF COHNHEIM (1882)OBSERVATIONS OF COHNHEIM (1882)
“With the slowing of blood flow in the dilated venules leukocytes appear in the marginal stream and tend to stick to the vessel walls. At first the leukocytes stick momentarily and are then displaced to be washed away by the blood stream.“
more COHNHEIM:more COHNHEIM:
“As they begin to adhere more closely some are pushed slowly along by the blood stream, becoming flattened and elongated in the direction of the flow so that they have the appearance of blobs of jelly being pushed along over a sticky surface.”
more COHNHEIM:more COHNHEIM: “Gradually some of the cells adhere more firmly
until even a relatively swift stream of plasma and red corpuscles cannot dislodge them.
With an adequate injury some of the leukocytes sticking to the wall begin to make their way through it by active movements, taking 2 to 12 minutes to do so. “

» Complement fragment C5a» Bacterial formylated peptides» Arachidonic acid products, e.g. Leukotriene B4» Cytokines called chemokines, e.g. IL-8
» PHAGOCYTOSIS
» FUSION OF GRANULES
» BACTERIAL KILLING
» O2-, superoxide
» H2O2, peroxide
» HOCl, hypochlorous acid » OH•, hydroxyl radical» Acid hydrolases (enzymes)» Bactericidal proteins, defensins,
lactoferrin, lysozyme
Pneumonia
» Plasma proteases, e.g. complement
» Vasoactive amines, e.g. histamine
» Platelet-activating factor PAF
» Arachidonic acid metabolites, e.g. prostaglandin E3
» Reactive oxygen and nitrogen species
» Cytokines and chemokines, e.g. IL-8
» Neuropeptides and endothelin
» Products of arachidonic acid metabolism» Potent vasodilators/vasoconstrictors» Cyclo-oxygenase (COX), needed for
prostaglandin synthesis, is inhibited by aspirin and selective COX2 inhibitors including the notorious Vioxx
» Important in fever and pain» Lipoxygenase leads to leukotrienes,
proinflammatory lipids active in asthma
» O2-, superoxide
» H2O2, peroxide» HOCl, hypochlorous acid» OH•, hydroxyl radical» ONOO-, peroxynitrite(all reactive oxygen and nitrogen
species)» Lysosomal neutral hydrolases
» Follows emigration and phagocytosis
» Minimizes tissue injury
» DELAY:˃ GM-CSF G-CSF˃ LPS, IL-1, IL-2˃ IFN-gamma
» STIMULATE:˃ IL-6˃ Phagocytosis˃ Oxidative burst
» Cellular contents may not be released
» Clearance by macrophages stimulates activation of macrophages to secrete factors favoring wound healing
Neutrophil apoptosis is the keyto prevention of tissue injury.
Recognition of Pathogen Activated Molecular Pathways (PAMPs) including Toll Like Receptors (TLRs) and Damage Activated Molecular Pathways (DAMPs) (together sometimes called Alarmins).
TLRs stimulate release of multiple pro-inflammatory peptides.
DAMPs lead to assembly of inflammasomes, activation of caspase-1, and production of IL-1beta.
