DEFINITION Inflammation is a response of
vascularized tissues
to infectious organisms and/or
tissue damage
that brings cells and molecules of
host defence from the circulation to
the sites where they are needed,
in order to eliminate the offending
agents.
z
zBRIEF
INTRODUCTION
z
BRIEF INTRODUCTION
 Acute inflammation
 The initial, rapid response to infections and tissue damage is called
acute inflammation.
 It typically develops within minutes or hours and is of short duration,
lasting for several hours or a few days;
 its main characteristics are the exudation of fluid and plasma proteins
(edema) and the emigration of leukocytes, predominantly neutrophils
(also called polymorphonuclear leukocytes).
 When acute inflammation achieves its desired goal of eliminating the
offenders, the reaction subsides.
 Acute inflammation is one of the reactions of the type of host defense
known as innate immunity
z
BRIEF INTRODUCTION
 Chronic inflammation
 If acute inflammation fails to clear the stimulus, the reaction can
progress to a protracted phase that is called chronic inflammation.
 Chronic inflammation is of longer duration and
 is associated with more tissue destruction, the presence of
lymphocytes and macrophages, the proliferation of blood vessels,
and the deposition of connective tissue.
 Chronic inflammation is more prominent in the reactions of
adaptive immunity

HARMFUL EFFECTS OF
INFLAMMATION
 Protective inflammatory reactions to infections are often accompanied by
local tissue damage and its associated signs and symptoms (e.g., pain and
functional impairment).
 Typically, however, these harmful consequences are self-limited.
 In contrast, there are many diseases in which
 the inflammatory reaction is misdirected (e.g., against self tissues in autoimmune
diseases),
 occurs against normally harmless environmental substances (e.g., in allergies)
 Following table gives a list of some common diseases caused due to
inflammation

CAUSES OF INFLAMMATION
1. Infections - bacterial, viral, fungal, parasitic
2. Tissue necrosis – due to ischemia, trauma, physical or chemical
injury
3. Foreign bodies
1. Exogenous - splinters, dirt, sutures
2. Endogenous - urate crystals (in the disease gout),
Cholesterol crystals (in atherosclerosis),
and lipids (in obesity-associated metabolic syndrome)
4. Immune reactions – autoimmune diseases or allergy

FIRST STEP IN
INFLAMMATION
zz
FIRST STEP IN INFLAMMATION
(RECOGNITION OF
MICROBES/DAMAGED CELLS)
1. Innate immunity recognizes
foreign antigens (microbes)
through receptors on the plasma
membranes of epithelial cells,
dendritic cells, macrophages and
leucocytes
2. Recognition of tissue damage is
through factors that are released
after damage, such as – uric acid
released after DNA break down,
ATP – due to mitochondria
damage. These and such
products activate what are called
inflammasomes (cystosolic
complexes) that release IL-1. This
IL-1 is thought to be responsible
for gout and ATH.

1. BLOOD VESSEL REACTIONS
 The vascular reactions of acute inflammation consist of
 changes in the flow of blood
 Changes in the permeability of vessels
 both designed to maximize the movement of plasma
proteins and leukocytes out of the circulation and into the
site of infection or injury.

2. LEUCOCYTE RECRUITMENT AT
SITE OF INJURY
 The journey of leukocytes from the vessel lumen to the site
of injury can be divided into sequential phases
A. In the lumen: margination, rolling, and adhesion to endothelium.
B. Migration across the endothelium and vessel wall
C. Migration in the tissues toward a chemotactic stimulus
z
A. Margination, rolling, and adhesion to endothelium
 Margination
 white cells assume a peripheral
position along the endothelial
surface
 Rolling
 Subsequently, leukocytes adhere
transiently to the endothelium,
detach and bind again, thus rolling
on the vessel wall (Selectins)
 Adhesion
 The cells finally come to rest at
some point where they adhere
firmly (Integrins)

z
 Phagocytosis involves three
sequential steps
1. recognition and attachment of
the particle to be ingested by the
leukocyte;
2. engulfment, with subsequent
formation of a phagocytic vacuole;
and
3. killing or degradation of the
ingested material (by ROS and
other lysosomal enzymes)
3. PHAGOCYTOSIS &
KILLING OF
OFFENDING
AGENT
z
 Neutrophilic lysosomes contain two types of granules
 Smaller specific (or secondary) granules contain lysozyme,
collagenase, gelatinase, lactoferrin, plasminogen activator,
histaminase, and alkaline phosphatase.
 The larger azurophil (or primary) granules contain myeloperoxidase,
bactericidal factors (lysozyme, defensins), acid hydrolases, and a
variety of neutral proteases (elastase, cathepsin G, nonspecific
collagenases, proteinase 3).
 Acid proteases degrade bacteria and debris
 Neutral proteases are capable of degrading various extracellular
components, such as collagen, basement membrane, fibrin, elastin, and
cartilage

4. TERMINATION OF RESPONSE
1. Removal of mediators of inflammation - mediators of
inflammation are produced in rapid bursts, only as long as the
stimulus persists, have short half-lives, and are degraded after
their release.
2. Short half life of inflammatory cells – inflammatory cells die
by apoptosis within a few hours after leaving the blood.
3. Stop signals - These include antiinflammatory cytokines,
including transforming growth factor-β (TGF-β) and IL-10, from
macrophages and other cells.
z
 LEUCOCYTE MEDIATED TISSUE INJURY
 Collateral damage: As part of a normal defence reaction against
infectious microbes, when adjacent tissues suffer collateral damage.
 Difficult to eradicate infections: In some infections that are difficult to
eradicate, such as tuberculosis and certain viral diseases, the
prolonged host response contributes more to the pathology than does
the microbe itself.
 Autoimmunity: When the inflammatory response is inappropriately
directed against host tissues, as in certain autoimmune diseases.
 Allergy: When the host reacts excessively against usually harmless
environmental substances, as in allergic diseases, including asthma.

MEDIATORS OF
ACUTE
INFLAMMATION
z
MEDIATORS OF ACUTE INFLAMMATION
 The mediators of inflammation are the substances that initiate and
regulate inflammatory reactions.
 Some chief mediators with their actions is summarised below. We will
discuss them in detail in slides that follow -
1. Vasoactive amines - mainly histamine and serotonin:
 vasodilation and increased vascular permeability
2. Arachidonic acid metabolites (prostaglandins and leukotrienes):
 several forms exist and are involved in vascular reactions, leukocyte chemotaxis, and
other reactions of inflammation; antagonized by lipoxins
3. Cytokines:
 proteins produced by many cell types; usually act at short range; mediate multiple
effects, mainly in leukocyte recruitment and migration; principal ones in acute
inflammation are TNF, IL-1, and chemokines
INTRODUCTION
z
4. Complement system proteins:
 Activation of the complement system by microbes or antibodies
leads to the generation of multiple breakdown products, which are
responsible for leukocyte chemotaxis, opsonization, and
phagocytosis of microbes and other particles, and cell killing
5. Kinins:
 produced by proteolytic cleavage of precursors; mediate vascular
reaction, pain
MEDIATORS OF ACUTE INFLAMMATION
INTRODUCTION
z
 Histamine
 Richest sources of histamine are the mast cells that are normally
present in the connective tissue adjacent to blood vessels
 Released by mast cells in response to variety of stimuli such as –
 Heat, cold or trauma
 Hypersensitivity (allergy)
 Anaphylatoxins (C3a and C5a)
 Histamine causes dilation of arterioles and increases the permeability
of venules
 Its vasoactive effects are mediated mainly via binding to receptors,
called H1 receptors, on microvascular endothelial cells
MEDIATORS OF ACUTE INFLAMMATION
A. VASOACTIVE AMINES – HISTAMINE AND SEROTONIN
z
 Serotonin
 Serotonin (5-hydroxytryptamine) is a preformed vasoactive
mediator present in platelets and certain neuroendocrine cells
 It is also a vasoconstrictor

MEDIATORS OF ACUTE INFLAMMATION
z
B. ARACHIDONIC ACID METABOLITES – PROSTAGLANDINS AND
LEUKOTRIENES
 The lipid mediators prostaglandins and leukotrienes are
produced from arachidonic acid (AA) present in membrane
phospholipids
MEDIATORS OF ACUTE INFLAMMATION
z
Cytokines
 Cytokines are proteins produced by many cell types
(principally activated lymphocytes, macrophages, and
dendritic cell, but also by endothelial, epithelial, and
connective tissue cells) that mediate and regulate immune
and inflammatory reactions

 Chemokines are a family of small (8 to 10 kD) proteins that act
primarily as chemo attractants for specific types of leukocytes
 Role of chemokines
 In acute inflammation
 stimulate leukocyte attachment to endothelium
 stimulate migration (chemotaxis) of leukocytes
 Maintenance of tissue architecture
 Some chemokines are produced constitutively in tissues and are sometimes
called homeostatic chemokines.
 These organize various cell types in different anatomic regions of the tissues,
such as T and B lymphocytes in discrete areas of the spleen and lymph nodes
D. Chemokines
MEDIATORS OF ACUTE INFLAMMATION
z
 The complement system is a collection of soluble proteins and
membrane receptors that function mainly in host defence
against microbes and in pathologic inflammatory reactions
 The system consists of more than 20 proteins, some of which are
numbered C1 through C9
 Complement proteins are present in inactive forms in the plasma,
and many of them are activated to become proteolytic enzymes that
degrade other complement proteins, thus forming an enzymatic
cascade
 The critical step in complement activation is the proteolysis of the
third (and most abundant) component, C3

3. PURULENT INFLAMMATION
4. ULCERS
z
1. Serous inflammation
 Serous inflammation is marked by the exudation of cell poor fluid into
spaces created by cell injury or into body cavities lined by the peritoneum,
pleura, or pericardium.
 Typically, the fluid in serous inflammation is not infected by destructive
organisms and does not contain large numbers of leukocytes (which tend to
produce purulent inflammation, described later).
 In body cavities the fluid may be derived from the plasma (as a result of
increased vascular permeability) or from the secretions of mesothelial cells
(as a result of local irritation); accumulation of fluid in these cavities is called
an effusion. (Effusions also occur in noninflammatory conditions, such as
reduced blood outflow in heart failure, or reduced plasma protein levels in
some kidney and liver diseases.)
 The skin blister resulting from a burn or viral infection represents
accumulation of serous fluid within or immediately beneath the damaged
epidermis of the skin
MORPHOLOGIC PATTERNS OF ACUTE
INFLAMMATION
z
 With greater increase in vascular permeability, large molecules
such as fibrinogen pass out of the blood, and fibrin is formed
and deposited in the extracellular space.
 A fibrinous exudate is characteristic of inflammation in the lining
of body cavities, such as the meninges, pericardium and pleura.
 Conversion of the fibrinous exudate to scar tissue (organization)
within the pericardial sac leads to obliteration of the pericardial
space.
2. Fibrinous inflammation
MORPHOLOGIC PATTERNS OF ACUTE
INFLAMMATION
z
 Purulent inflammation is characterized by the production of
pus, an exudate consisting of neutrophils, the liquefied
debris of necrotic cells, and edema fluid
 Abscesses are localized collections of purulent
inflammatory tissue caused by suppuration buried in a tissue,
an organ, or a confined space
3. Purulent inflammation (Abscess)
MORPHOLOGIC PATTERNS OF ACUTE
INFLAMMATION
z
 An ulcer is a local defect, or excavation, of the surface of an
organ or tissue that is produced by the sloughing
(shedding) of inflamed necrotic tissue
 Ulcerations are best exemplified by peptic ulcer of the stomach
or duodenum, in which acute and chronic inflammation coexist.
 During the acute stage there is intense polymorphonuclear
infiltration and vascular dilation in the margins of the defect.
 With chronicity, the margins and base of the ulcer develop
fibroblastic proliferation, scarring, and the accumulation of
lymphocytes, macrophages, and plasma cells.

CAUSES OF
CHRONIC
INFLAMMATION
z
CAUSES
 Persistent infections –
 by microorganisms that are difficult to eradicate, such as mycobacteria and
certain viruses, fungi, and parasites. These organisms often evoke an immune
reaction called delayed-type hypersensitivity. The inflammatory response
sometimes takes a specific pattern called a granulomatous reaction
 Autoimmunity –
 Autoantigens evoke a self-perpetuating immune reaction that results in chronic
tissue damage and inflammation; examples of such diseases are rheumatoid
arthritis and multiple sclerosis
 Allergy –
 Immune responses against common environmental substances are the cause of
allergic diseases, such as bronchial asthma
 Prolonged exposure to toxic agents -
 Eg silicosis, atherosclerosis

Macrophages
 Cells derived from monocytes – part of
mononuclear phagocyte system
 Examples
 normally diffusely scattered in most
connective tissues.
 liver (where they are called Kupffer cells),
 spleen and lymph nodes (called sinus
histiocytes),
 central nervous system (microglial cells), and
 lungs (alveolar macrophages)
MEDIATORS OF CHRONIC INFLAMMATION
z
 The dominant cells in most chronic inflammatory reactions
are macrophages, which contribute to the reaction by
 secreting cytokines and growth factors that act on various
cells,
 by destroying foreign invaders and tissues,
 and by activating other cells, notably T lymphocytes
Macrophages
MEDIATORS OF CHRONIC INFLAMMATION
z
 There are two major pathways of macrophage activation,
called classical and alternative
MEDIATORS OF CHRONIC INFLAMMATION
Macrophages
Produced by T
lymphocytes
z
 Microbes and other environmental antigens activate T
lymphocytes, which amplify and propagate chronic
inflammation
 There are three subsets of CD4+ T cells that secrete different types
of cytokines and elicit different types of inflammation.
 TH1 cells produce the cytokine IFN-γ, which activates macrophages by
the classical pathway.
 TH2 cells secrete IL-4, IL-5, and IL-13, which recruit and activate
eosinophils and are responsible for the alternative pathway of
macrophage activation.
 TH17 cells secrete IL-17 and other cytokines, which induce the
secretion of chemokines responsible for recruiting neutrophils (and
monocytes) into the reaction.

INFLAMMATION
zz
GRANULOMATOUS
INFLAMMATION
 Granulomatous inflammation is a form
of chronic inflammation characterized
by collections of activated
macrophages, often with T
lymphocytes, and sometimes
associated with central necrosis
 The activated macrophages may
develop abundant cytoplasm and begin
to resemble epithelial cells, and are
called epithelioid cells.
 Some activated macrophages may
fuse, forming multinucleate giant
cells (Langhan’s)
 This is a type of immune granuloma –
produced when infecting agent is difficult to
eradicate
zz
FOREIGN BODY
GRANULOMA
 incited by relatively inert
foreign bodies
 foreign body granulomas
form around materials such
as talc (associated with
intravenous drug abuse)
sutures, or other fibres that
are large enough to
preclude phagocytosis by a
macrophage

SYSTEMIC
EFFECTS OF
INFLAMMATION
Fever: cytokines (TNF, IL-1) stimulate
production of prostaglandins in hypothalamus
Production of acute-phase proteins: C-
reactive protein, others; synthesis stimulated
by cytokines (IL-6, others) acting on liver cells
Leucocytosis: cytokines (colony-stimulating
factors) stimulate production of leukocytes
from precursors in the bone marrow
In some severe infections, septic shock: fall
in blood pressure, disseminated intravascular
coagulation, metabolic abnormalities; induced
by high levels of TNF and other cytokines

z
Repair Vs Regeneration
 Regeneration
 some tissues are able to replace the damaged components and
essentially return to a normal state; this process is called regeneration
 Tissues whose cells retain the capacity to proliferate, for example, in
the rapidly dividing epithelia of the skin and intestines, and the liver can
undergo regeneration
 Repair (scar formation)
 If the injured tissues are incapable of complete restitution, or if the
supporting structures of the tissue are severely damaged, repair
occurs by the laying down of connective (fibrous) tissue
z
Concept of Regeneration
 Regeneration of the liver is a classic example
of repair by regeneration.
 It is triggered by cytokines and growth factors
produced in response to loss of liver mass and
inflammation.
 In different situations, regeneration may occur
by
1. proliferation of surviving hepatocytes or
2. repopulation from progenitor cells (stem cells),
these progenitor cells have been called oval
cells because of the shape of their nuclei. Some
of these progenitor cells reside in specialized
niches called canals of Hering
z
Repair (by connective tissue deposition;
Scar formation)
 Scar formation is a response that “patches” rather than restores
the tissue
 The term scar is most often used in connection to wound healing
in the skin, but may also be used to describe the replacement of
parenchymal cells in any tissue by collagen, as in the heart after
myocardial infarction
z
Steps in repair
1. Angiogenesis
 Angiogenesis is the formation of new blood
vessels, which supply nutrients and oxygen
needed to support the repair process
2. Formation of granulation tissue
 Migration and proliferation of fibroblasts and
deposition of loose connective tissue, together with
the vessels and interspersed leukocytes, form
granulation tissue.
 The term granulation tissue derives from its pink,
soft, granular gross appearance, such as that seen
beneath the scab of a skin wound.
3. Remodelling of connective tissue
 Maturation and reorganization of the connective
tissue produce the stable fibrous scar
z
Skin wound healing
 This is a process that involves both epithelial regeneration and the formation of
connective tissue scar
 Based on the nature and size of the wound, the healing of skin wounds is said to
occur by first or second intention
1. Healing by First Intention
 When the injury involves only the epithelial layer, the principal mechanism of repair is
epithelial regeneration
 One of the simplest examples of this type of wound repair is the healing of a clean,
uninfected surgical incision approximated by surgical. The incision causes only focal
disruption of epithelial basement membrane continuity and death of relatively few
epithelial and connective tissue cells.
z
Skin wound healing
2. Healing by Second Intention
 When cell or tissue loss is more extensive, such as in large
wounds, abscesses, ulceration, and ischemic necrosis (infarction)
in parenchymal organs, the repair process involves a combination
of regeneration and scarring
z
z
Healing by first intention
Steps
 1st 24 hours –
 Wounding causes the rapid activation of coagulation pathways, which results in the
formation of a blood clot on the wound surface. As dehydration occurs at the external
surface of the clot, a scab covering the wound is formed.
 Neutrophils are seen at the incision margin. They release proteolytic enzymes that
begin to clear the debris.
 Epithelial cell proliferation starts at the edge of the wound
 3-7 days –
 Neutrophils have been largely replaced by macrophages, and granulation tissue
progressively invades the incision space
 Collagen fibers and fibroblasts are now evident at the incision margins.
 Epithelial cell proliferation continues, forming a covering approaching the normal
thickness of the epidermis.
z
Healing by first intention
Steps
 Weeks –
 The epidermis recovers its normal thickness
 The process of “blanching” begins, accomplished by increasing
collagen deposition within the incisional scar and the regression of
vascular channels
 By the end of the first month, the scar comprises a cellular connective
tissue largely devoid of inflammatory cells and covered by an
essentially normal epidermis. However, the dermal appendages
destroyed in the line of the incision are permanently lost.
 The tensile strength of the wound increases with time due to collagen
cross linking
z
Healing by second intention
Steps
 Secondary healing differs from primary healing in several respects:
 The fibrin clot is larger, and there is more exudate and necrotic debris in the
wounded area.
 Inflammation is more intense because large tissue defects have a greater
volume of necrotic debris, exudate, and fibrin that must be removed.
 Larger defects require a greater volume of granulation tissue to fill in the gaps
and provide the underlying framework for the regrowth of tissue epithelium. A
greater volume of granulation tissue generally results ina greater mass of scar
tissue.
 Wound contraction generally occurs in large surface wounds. The contraction
helps to close the wound by decreasing the gap between its dermal edges and
by reducing the wound surface area. Contraction is mediated by a network of
myofibroblasts, which are modified fibroblasts exhibiting many of the
ultrastructural and functional features of contractile smooth muscle cells.
z
Abnormalities in tissue repair
 Complications in tissue repair can arise from abnormalities in
any of the basic components of the process, including
1. Dehiscence and Ulceration
 Dehiscence - Dehiscence or rupture of a wound occurs most
frequently after abdominal surgery and is due to increased
abdominal pressure
 Ulceration - Wounds can ulcerate because of inadequate
vascularization during healing. For example, lower extremity
wounds in individuals with atherosclerotic peripheral vascular
disease
z
Abnormalities in tissue repair
2. Excessive formation of the repair components
 Hypertrophic scar - accumulation of excessive amounts of collagen may give
rise to a raised scar known as a hypertrophic scar
 Keloid - if the scar tissue grows beyond the boundaries of the original wound
and does not regress, it is called a keloid
 Exuberant granulation - consisting of the formation of excessive amounts of
granulation tissue, which protrudes above the level of the surrounding skin and
blocks reepithelialisation (proud flesh)
 Desmoids, or aggressive fibromatoses - Exuberant proliferation of fibroblasts,
these neoplasms lie in the interface between benign and malignant
3. Contractures
 Exaggeration of process of contraction during healing is prone to develop in
palms and soles and thorax. Contractures are commonly seen after serious
burns and can compromise the movement of joints.

Blood vessel reactions 2. Leucocyte recruitment 3. Clearing of offending agent 4. Termination of response 2. Mediators of acute inflammation 3. Morphologic patterns of acute inflammation 4. Outcomes of acute inflammation
  • 3. z OVERVIEW7. Chronic inflammation 1. Causes 2. Morphological patterns of chronic inflammation 3. Mediators of chronic inflammation 4. Granulomatous inflammation 8. Systemic effects of inflammation 9. Tissue repair 1. Types 1. Repair by regeneration 2. Repair by connective tissue deposition (scar formation) 2. Factors that influence tissue repair 3. Selected examples of tissue repair 1. Skin healing 2. Healing in parenchymal organs 4. Abnormalities in tissue repair
  • 5. z z DEFINITION Inflammation is a response of vascularized tissues to infectious organisms and/or tissue damage that brings cells and molecules of host defence from the circulation to the sites where they are needed, in order to eliminate the offending agents.
  • 7. z BRIEF INTRODUCTION  Acute inflammation  The initial, rapid response to infections and tissue damage is called acute inflammation.  It typically develops within minutes or hours and is of short duration, lasting for several hours or a few days;  its main characteristics are the exudation of fluid and plasma proteins (edema) and the emigration of leukocytes, predominantly neutrophils (also called polymorphonuclear leukocytes).  When acute inflammation achieves its desired goal of eliminating the offenders, the reaction subsides.  Acute inflammation is one of the reactions of the type of host defense known as innate immunity
  • 8. z BRIEF INTRODUCTION  Chronic inflammation  If acute inflammation fails to clear the stimulus, the reaction can progress to a protracted phase that is called chronic inflammation.  Chronic inflammation is of longer duration and  is associated with more tissue destruction, the presence of lymphocytes and macrophages, the proliferation of blood vessels, and the deposition of connective tissue.  Chronic inflammation is more prominent in the reactions of adaptive immunity
  • 12. z HARMFUL EFFECTS OF INFLAMMATION  Protective inflammatory reactions to infections are often accompanied by local tissue damage and its associated signs and symptoms (e.g., pain and functional impairment).  Typically, however, these harmful consequences are self-limited.  In contrast, there are many diseases in which  the inflammatory reaction is misdirected (e.g., against self tissues in autoimmune diseases),  occurs against normally harmless environmental substances (e.g., in allergies)  Following table gives a list of some common diseases caused due to inflammation
  • 13. z
  • 15. z CAUSES OF INFLAMMATION 1. Infections - bacterial, viral, fungal, parasitic 2. Tissue necrosis – due to ischemia, trauma, physical or chemical injury 3. Foreign bodies 1. Exogenous - splinters, dirt, sutures 2. Endogenous - urate crystals (in the disease gout), Cholesterol crystals (in atherosclerosis), and lipids (in obesity-associated metabolic syndrome) 4. Immune reactions – autoimmune diseases or allergy
  • 17. zz FIRST STEP IN INFLAMMATION (RECOGNITION OF MICROBES/DAMAGED CELLS) 1. Innate immunity recognizes foreign antigens (microbes) through receptors on the plasma membranes of epithelial cells, dendritic cells, macrophages and leucocytes 2. Recognition of tissue damage is through factors that are released after damage, such as – uric acid released after DNA break down, ATP – due to mitochondria damage. These and such products activate what are called inflammasomes (cystosolic complexes) that release IL-1. This IL-1 is thought to be responsible for gout and ATH.
  • 19. z  Acute inflammation  Steps  Blood vessel reactions  Leucocyte recruitment  Clearing of offending agent  Termination of response  Mediators of acute inflammation  Morphologic patterns of acute inflammation  Outcomes of acute inflammation
  • 21. zz STEPS IN ACUTE INFLAMMATION Blood vessel reactions 1 Leucocyte recruitment 2 Phagocytosis and Clearing of offending agent 3 Termination of response 4
  • 22. z 1. BLOOD VESSEL REACTIONS  The vascular reactions of acute inflammation consist of  changes in the flow of blood  Changes in the permeability of vessels  both designed to maximize the movement of plasma proteins and leukocytes out of the circulation and into the site of infection or injury.
  • 23. zz 1. BLOOD VESSEL REACTIONS  A. CHANGES IN FLOW OF BLOOD  Vasodilatation  Stasis and accumulation of leucocytes, principally neutrophils along the endothelium
  • 24. zz 1. BLOOD VESSEL REACTIONS  B. INCREASED VASCULAR PERMEABILITY  Endothelial contraction/retraction  Endothelial injury  Transcytosis
  • 25. zz STEPS IN ACUTE INFLAMMATION Blood vessel reactions 1 Leucocyte recruitment 2 Phagocytosis and Clearing of offending agent 3 Termination of response 4
  • 26. z 2. LEUCOCYTE RECRUITMENT AT SITE OF INJURY  The journey of leukocytes from the vessel lumen to the site of injury can be divided into sequential phases A. In the lumen: margination, rolling, and adhesion to endothelium. B. Migration across the endothelium and vessel wall C. Migration in the tissues toward a chemotactic stimulus
  • 27. z A. Margination, rolling, and adhesion to endothelium  Margination  white cells assume a peripheral position along the endothelial surface  Rolling  Subsequently, leukocytes adhere transiently to the endothelium, detach and bind again, thus rolling on the vessel wall (Selectins)  Adhesion  The cells finally come to rest at some point where they adhere firmly (Integrins) 2. LEUCOCYTE RECRUITMENT AT SITE OF INJURY L selectin
  • 28. z B. Migration across the endothelium and vessel wall (diapedesis) 2. LEUCOCYTE RECRUITMENT AT SITE OF INJURY
  • 29. z C. Migration in the tissues toward a chemotactic stimulus (Chemotaxis) 2. LEUCOCYTE RECRUITMENT AT SITE OF INJURY
  • 31. zz STEPS IN ACUTE INFLAMMATION Blood vessel reactions 1 Leucocyte recruitment 2 Phagocytosis and Clearing of offending agent 3 Termination of response 4
  • 32. z  Phagocytosis involves three sequential steps 1. recognition and attachment of the particle to be ingested by the leukocyte; 2. engulfment, with subsequent formation of a phagocytic vacuole; and 3. killing or degradation of the ingested material (by ROS and other lysosomal enzymes) 3. PHAGOCYTOSIS & KILLING OF OFFENDING AGENT
  • 33. z  Neutrophilic lysosomes contain two types of granules  Smaller specific (or secondary) granules contain lysozyme, collagenase, gelatinase, lactoferrin, plasminogen activator, histaminase, and alkaline phosphatase.  The larger azurophil (or primary) granules contain myeloperoxidase, bactericidal factors (lysozyme, defensins), acid hydrolases, and a variety of neutral proteases (elastase, cathepsin G, nonspecific collagenases, proteinase 3).  Acid proteases degrade bacteria and debris  Neutral proteases are capable of degrading various extracellular components, such as collagen, basement membrane, fibrin, elastin, and cartilage 3. PHAGOCYTOSIS & KILLING OF OFFENDING AGENT
  • 34. zz STEPS IN ACUTE INFLAMMATION Blood vessel reactions 1 Leucocyte recruitment 2 Phagocytosis and Clearing of offending agent 3 Termination of response 4
  • 35. z 4. TERMINATION OF RESPONSE 1. Removal of mediators of inflammation - mediators of inflammation are produced in rapid bursts, only as long as the stimulus persists, have short half-lives, and are degraded after their release. 2. Short half life of inflammatory cells – inflammatory cells die by apoptosis within a few hours after leaving the blood. 3. Stop signals - These include antiinflammatory cytokines, including transforming growth factor-β (TGF-β) and IL-10, from macrophages and other cells.
  • 36. z  LEUCOCYTE MEDIATED TISSUE INJURY  Collateral damage: As part of a normal defence reaction against infectious microbes, when adjacent tissues suffer collateral damage.  Difficult to eradicate infections: In some infections that are difficult to eradicate, such as tuberculosis and certain viral diseases, the prolonged host response contributes more to the pathology than does the microbe itself.  Autoimmunity: When the inflammatory response is inappropriately directed against host tissues, as in certain autoimmune diseases.  Allergy: When the host reacts excessively against usually harmless environmental substances, as in allergic diseases, including asthma. 4. TERMINATION OF RESPONSE
  • 38. z MEDIATORS OF ACUTE INFLAMMATION  The mediators of inflammation are the substances that initiate and regulate inflammatory reactions.  Some chief mediators with their actions is summarised below. We will discuss them in detail in slides that follow - 1. Vasoactive amines - mainly histamine and serotonin:  vasodilation and increased vascular permeability 2. Arachidonic acid metabolites (prostaglandins and leukotrienes):  several forms exist and are involved in vascular reactions, leukocyte chemotaxis, and other reactions of inflammation; antagonized by lipoxins 3. Cytokines:  proteins produced by many cell types; usually act at short range; mediate multiple effects, mainly in leukocyte recruitment and migration; principal ones in acute inflammation are TNF, IL-1, and chemokines INTRODUCTION
  • 39. z 4. Complement system proteins:  Activation of the complement system by microbes or antibodies leads to the generation of multiple breakdown products, which are responsible for leukocyte chemotaxis, opsonization, and phagocytosis of microbes and other particles, and cell killing 5. Kinins:  produced by proteolytic cleavage of precursors; mediate vascular reaction, pain MEDIATORS OF ACUTE INFLAMMATION INTRODUCTION
  • 40. z  Histamine  Richest sources of histamine are the mast cells that are normally present in the connective tissue adjacent to blood vessels  Released by mast cells in response to variety of stimuli such as –  Heat, cold or trauma  Hypersensitivity (allergy)  Anaphylatoxins (C3a and C5a)  Histamine causes dilation of arterioles and increases the permeability of venules  Its vasoactive effects are mediated mainly via binding to receptors, called H1 receptors, on microvascular endothelial cells MEDIATORS OF ACUTE INFLAMMATION A. VASOACTIVE AMINES – HISTAMINE AND SEROTONIN
  • 41. z  Serotonin  Serotonin (5-hydroxytryptamine) is a preformed vasoactive mediator present in platelets and certain neuroendocrine cells  It is also a vasoconstrictor A. VASOACTIVE AMINES – HISTAMINE AND SEROTONIN MEDIATORS OF ACUTE INFLAMMATION
  • 42. z B. ARACHIDONIC ACID METABOLITES – PROSTAGLANDINS AND LEUKOTRIENES  The lipid mediators prostaglandins and leukotrienes are produced from arachidonic acid (AA) present in membrane phospholipids MEDIATORS OF ACUTE INFLAMMATION
  • 43. z Cytokines  Cytokines are proteins produced by many cell types (principally activated lymphocytes, macrophages, and dendritic cell, but also by endothelial, epithelial, and connective tissue cells) that mediate and regulate immune and inflammatory reactions  Following table summarises some chief cytokines involved in inflammation and their actions MEDIATORS OF ACUTE INFLAMMATION
  • 44. z C. Cytokines MEDIATORS OF ACUTE INFLAMMATION
  • 45. z C. Cytokines MEDIATORS OF ACUTE INFLAMMATION
  • 46. z  Chemokines are a family of small (8 to 10 kD) proteins that act primarily as chemo attractants for specific types of leukocytes  Role of chemokines  In acute inflammation  stimulate leukocyte attachment to endothelium  stimulate migration (chemotaxis) of leukocytes  Maintenance of tissue architecture  Some chemokines are produced constitutively in tissues and are sometimes called homeostatic chemokines.  These organize various cell types in different anatomic regions of the tissues, such as T and B lymphocytes in discrete areas of the spleen and lymph nodes D. Chemokines MEDIATORS OF ACUTE INFLAMMATION
  • 47. z  The complement system is a collection of soluble proteins and membrane receptors that function mainly in host defence against microbes and in pathologic inflammatory reactions  The system consists of more than 20 proteins, some of which are numbered C1 through C9  Complement proteins are present in inactive forms in the plasma, and many of them are activated to become proteolytic enzymes that degrade other complement proteins, thus forming an enzymatic cascade  The critical step in complement activation is the proteolysis of the third (and most abundant) component, C3 E.

  • 51. z MORPHOLOGIC PATTERNS OF ACUTE INFLAMMATION 1. SEROUS INFLAMMATION 2. FIBRINOUS INFLAMMATION 3. PURULENT INFLAMMATION 4. ULCERS
  • 52. z 1. Serous inflammation  Serous inflammation is marked by the exudation of cell poor fluid into spaces created by cell injury or into body cavities lined by the peritoneum, pleura, or pericardium.  Typically, the fluid in serous inflammation is not infected by destructive organisms and does not contain large numbers of leukocytes (which tend to produce purulent inflammation, described later).  In body cavities the fluid may be derived from the plasma (as a result of increased vascular permeability) or from the secretions of mesothelial cells (as a result of local irritation); accumulation of fluid in these cavities is called an effusion. (Effusions also occur in noninflammatory conditions, such as reduced blood outflow in heart failure, or reduced plasma protein levels in some kidney and liver diseases.)  The skin blister resulting from a burn or viral infection represents accumulation of serous fluid within or immediately beneath the damaged epidermis of the skin MORPHOLOGIC PATTERNS OF ACUTE INFLAMMATION
  • 53. z  With greater increase in vascular permeability, large molecules such as fibrinogen pass out of the blood, and fibrin is formed and deposited in the extracellular space.  A fibrinous exudate is characteristic of inflammation in the lining of body cavities, such as the meninges, pericardium and pleura.  Conversion of the fibrinous exudate to scar tissue (organization) within the pericardial sac leads to obliteration of the pericardial space. 2. Fibrinous inflammation MORPHOLOGIC PATTERNS OF ACUTE INFLAMMATION
  • 54. z  Purulent inflammation is characterized by the production of pus, an exudate consisting of neutrophils, the liquefied debris of necrotic cells, and edema fluid  Abscesses are localized collections of purulent inflammatory tissue caused by suppuration buried in a tissue, an organ, or a confined space 3. Purulent inflammation (Abscess) MORPHOLOGIC PATTERNS OF ACUTE INFLAMMATION
  • 55. z  An ulcer is a local defect, or excavation, of the surface of an organ or tissue that is produced by the sloughing (shedding) of inflamed necrotic tissue  Ulcerations are best exemplified by peptic ulcer of the stomach or duodenum, in which acute and chronic inflammation coexist.  During the acute stage there is intense polymorphonuclear infiltration and vascular dilation in the margins of the defect.  With chronicity, the margins and base of the ulcer develop fibroblastic proliferation, scarring, and the accumulation of lymphocytes, macrophages, and plasma cells. 4. Ulcers MORPHOLOGIC PATTERNS OF ACUTE INFLAMMATION
  • 57. z OUTCOMES OF ACUTE INFLAMMATION
  • 59. z CHRONIC INFLAMMATION  Causes  Morphological patterns of chronic inflammation  Mediators of chronic inflammation  Granulomatous inflammation
  • 61. z CAUSES  Persistent infections –  by microorganisms that are difficult to eradicate, such as mycobacteria and certain viruses, fungi, and parasites. These organisms often evoke an immune reaction called delayed-type hypersensitivity. The inflammatory response sometimes takes a specific pattern called a granulomatous reaction  Autoimmunity –  Autoantigens evoke a self-perpetuating immune reaction that results in chronic tissue damage and inflammation; examples of such diseases are rheumatoid arthritis and multiple sclerosis  Allergy –  Immune responses against common environmental substances are the cause of allergic diseases, such as bronchial asthma  Prolonged exposure to toxic agents -  Eg silicosis, atherosclerosis
  • 63. zz MORPHOLOGIC PATTERNS 1. Infiltration with mononuclear cells, which include macrophages, lymphocytes, and plasma cells 2. Tissue destruction, induced by the persistent offending agent or by the inflammatory cells 3. Attempts at healing by connective tissue replacement of damaged tissue, accomplished by angiogenesis (proliferation of small blood vessels) and, in particular, fibrosis ACUTEVSCHRONICINFLAMMATION
  • 65. z MEDIATORS OF CHRONIC INFLAMMATION  Macrophages  Lymphocytes  Eosinophils  Mast cells  Neutrophils
  • 66. z Macrophages  Cells derived from monocytes – part of mononuclear phagocyte system  Examples  normally diffusely scattered in most connective tissues.  liver (where they are called Kupffer cells),  spleen and lymph nodes (called sinus histiocytes),  central nervous system (microglial cells), and  lungs (alveolar macrophages) MEDIATORS OF CHRONIC INFLAMMATION
  • 67. z  The dominant cells in most chronic inflammatory reactions are macrophages, which contribute to the reaction by  secreting cytokines and growth factors that act on various cells,  by destroying foreign invaders and tissues,  and by activating other cells, notably T lymphocytes Macrophages MEDIATORS OF CHRONIC INFLAMMATION
  • 68. z  There are two major pathways of macrophage activation, called classical and alternative MEDIATORS OF CHRONIC INFLAMMATION Macrophages Produced by T lymphocytes
  • 69. z  Microbes and other environmental antigens activate T lymphocytes, which amplify and propagate chronic inflammation  There are three subsets of CD4+ T cells that secrete different types of cytokines and elicit different types of inflammation.  TH1 cells produce the cytokine IFN-γ, which activates macrophages by the classical pathway.  TH2 cells secrete IL-4, IL-5, and IL-13, which recruit and activate eosinophils and are responsible for the alternative pathway of macrophage activation.  TH17 cells secrete IL-17 and other cytokines, which induce the secretion of chemokines responsible for recruiting neutrophils (and monocytes) into the reaction. Lymphocytes MEDIATORS OF CHRONIC INFLAMMATION
  • 71. z  Eosinophils are abundant in immune reactions mediated by IgE and in parasitic infections  Mast cells release mediators, such as histamine and prostaglandins  Neutrophils play a part in acute on chronic reactions –  In osteomyelitis, a neutrophilic exudate can persist for many months.  Neutrophils are also important in the chronic damage induced in lungs by smoking Eosinophils, Mast cells and Neutrophils MEDIATORS OF CHRONIC INFLAMMATION
  • 73. zz GRANULOMATOUS INFLAMMATION  Granulomatous inflammation is a form of chronic inflammation characterized by collections of activated macrophages, often with T lymphocytes, and sometimes associated with central necrosis  The activated macrophages may develop abundant cytoplasm and begin to resemble epithelial cells, and are called epithelioid cells.  Some activated macrophages may fuse, forming multinucleate giant cells (Langhan’s)  This is a type of immune granuloma – produced when infecting agent is difficult to eradicate
  • 74. zz FOREIGN BODY GRANULOMA  incited by relatively inert foreign bodies  foreign body granulomas form around materials such as talc (associated with intravenous drug abuse) sutures, or other fibres that are large enough to preclude phagocytosis by a macrophage

  • 77. z z SYSTEMIC EFFECTS OF INFLAMMATION Fever: cytokines (TNF, IL-1) stimulate production of prostaglandins in hypothalamus Production of acute-phase proteins: C- reactive protein, others; synthesis stimulated by cytokines (IL-6, others) acting on liver cells Leucocytosis: cytokines (colony-stimulating factors) stimulate production of leukocytes from precursors in the bone marrow In some severe infections, septic shock: fall in blood pressure, disseminated intravascular coagulation, metabolic abnormalities; induced by high levels of TNF and other cytokines
  • 79. z z Tissue Repair Repair V/S Regeneration Concept of Regeneration Repair Skin wound healing Abnormalities in tissue repair
  • 80. z Repair Vs Regeneration  Regeneration  some tissues are able to replace the damaged components and essentially return to a normal state; this process is called regeneration  Tissues whose cells retain the capacity to proliferate, for example, in the rapidly dividing epithelia of the skin and intestines, and the liver can undergo regeneration  Repair (scar formation)  If the injured tissues are incapable of complete restitution, or if the supporting structures of the tissue are severely damaged, repair occurs by the laying down of connective (fibrous) tissue
  • 81. z Concept of Regeneration  Regeneration of the liver is a classic example of repair by regeneration.  It is triggered by cytokines and growth factors produced in response to loss of liver mass and inflammation.  In different situations, regeneration may occur by 1. proliferation of surviving hepatocytes or 2. repopulation from progenitor cells (stem cells), these progenitor cells have been called oval cells because of the shape of their nuclei. Some of these progenitor cells reside in specialized niches called canals of Hering
  • 82. z Repair (by connective tissue deposition; Scar formation)  Scar formation is a response that “patches” rather than restores the tissue  The term scar is most often used in connection to wound healing in the skin, but may also be used to describe the replacement of parenchymal cells in any tissue by collagen, as in the heart after myocardial infarction
  • 83. z Steps in repair 1. Angiogenesis  Angiogenesis is the formation of new blood vessels, which supply nutrients and oxygen needed to support the repair process 2. Formation of granulation tissue  Migration and proliferation of fibroblasts and deposition of loose connective tissue, together with the vessels and interspersed leukocytes, form granulation tissue.  The term granulation tissue derives from its pink, soft, granular gross appearance, such as that seen beneath the scab of a skin wound. 3. Remodelling of connective tissue  Maturation and reorganization of the connective tissue produce the stable fibrous scar
  • 84. z Skin wound healing  This is a process that involves both epithelial regeneration and the formation of connective tissue scar  Based on the nature and size of the wound, the healing of skin wounds is said to occur by first or second intention 1. Healing by First Intention  When the injury involves only the epithelial layer, the principal mechanism of repair is epithelial regeneration  One of the simplest examples of this type of wound repair is the healing of a clean, uninfected surgical incision approximated by surgical. The incision causes only focal disruption of epithelial basement membrane continuity and death of relatively few epithelial and connective tissue cells.
  • 85. z Skin wound healing 2. Healing by Second Intention  When cell or tissue loss is more extensive, such as in large wounds, abscesses, ulceration, and ischemic necrosis (infarction) in parenchymal organs, the repair process involves a combination of regeneration and scarring
  • 86. z
  • 87. z Healing by first intention Steps  1st 24 hours –  Wounding causes the rapid activation of coagulation pathways, which results in the formation of a blood clot on the wound surface. As dehydration occurs at the external surface of the clot, a scab covering the wound is formed.  Neutrophils are seen at the incision margin. They release proteolytic enzymes that begin to clear the debris.  Epithelial cell proliferation starts at the edge of the wound  3-7 days –  Neutrophils have been largely replaced by macrophages, and granulation tissue progressively invades the incision space  Collagen fibers and fibroblasts are now evident at the incision margins.  Epithelial cell proliferation continues, forming a covering approaching the normal thickness of the epidermis.
  • 88. z Healing by first intention Steps  Weeks –  The epidermis recovers its normal thickness  The process of “blanching” begins, accomplished by increasing collagen deposition within the incisional scar and the regression of vascular channels  By the end of the first month, the scar comprises a cellular connective tissue largely devoid of inflammatory cells and covered by an essentially normal epidermis. However, the dermal appendages destroyed in the line of the incision are permanently lost.  The tensile strength of the wound increases with time due to collagen cross linking
  • 89. z Healing by second intention Steps  Secondary healing differs from primary healing in several respects:  The fibrin clot is larger, and there is more exudate and necrotic debris in the wounded area.  Inflammation is more intense because large tissue defects have a greater volume of necrotic debris, exudate, and fibrin that must be removed.  Larger defects require a greater volume of granulation tissue to fill in the gaps and provide the underlying framework for the regrowth of tissue epithelium. A greater volume of granulation tissue generally results ina greater mass of scar tissue.  Wound contraction generally occurs in large surface wounds. The contraction helps to close the wound by decreasing the gap between its dermal edges and by reducing the wound surface area. Contraction is mediated by a network of myofibroblasts, which are modified fibroblasts exhibiting many of the ultrastructural and functional features of contractile smooth muscle cells.
  • 90. z Abnormalities in tissue repair  Complications in tissue repair can arise from abnormalities in any of the basic components of the process, including 1. Dehiscence and Ulceration  Dehiscence - Dehiscence or rupture of a wound occurs most frequently after abdominal surgery and is due to increased abdominal pressure  Ulceration - Wounds can ulcerate because of inadequate vascularization during healing. For example, lower extremity wounds in individuals with atherosclerotic peripheral vascular disease
  • 91. z Abnormalities in tissue repair 2. Excessive formation of the repair components  Hypertrophic scar - accumulation of excessive amounts of collagen may give rise to a raised scar known as a hypertrophic scar  Keloid - if the scar tissue grows beyond the boundaries of the original wound and does not regress, it is called a keloid  Exuberant granulation - consisting of the formation of excessive amounts of granulation tissue, which protrudes above the level of the surrounding skin and blocks reepithelialisation (proud flesh)  Desmoids, or aggressive fibromatoses - Exuberant proliferation of fibroblasts, these neoplasms lie in the interface between benign and malignant 3. Contractures  Exaggeration of process of contraction during healing is prone to develop in palms and soles and thorax. Contractures are commonly seen after serious burns and can compromise the movement of joints.
