This document discusses mechanisms of cell injury. It states that cell injury results from damage to key cellular components like mitochondria, cell membranes, and DNA by various biochemical mechanisms. The type and severity of injury depends on factors like the injurious stimulus, its duration and nature. Common causes of injury include mitochondrial damage, calcium influx, oxidative stress from reactive oxygen species, and defects in membrane permeability. Prolonged injuries can exceed a cell's repair capabilities and lead to necrosis. The document provides detailed explanations of these injury mechanisms.
This document summarizes the key mechanisms of cellular injury:
1. Depletion of ATP disrupts cellular processes and leads to necrosis as mitochondria and lysosomes are damaged. ATP depletion occurs due to reduced oxygen/nutrients, mitochondrial damage, or toxins.
2. Influx of calcium into cells activates destructive enzymes and can induce apoptosis. Increased cytosolic calcium occurs when ATP-dependent calcium pumps fail during ischemia or toxicity.
3. Accumulation of reactive oxygen species damages lipids, proteins, and DNA, causing cell injury. ROS are generated during oxidative phosphorylation and inflammation and cause oxidative stress.
This document discusses human pathology and cell injury. It defines pathology as the study of disease and notes that modern pathology studies cellular abnormalities. It explains that cell injury occurs through a limited set of basic biochemical processes, including plasma membrane damage, mitochondrial damage, ATP depletion, and nucleic acid damage. The document outlines various causes of cell injury like metabolic, chemical, free radical, immune, infectious, genetic, physical and iatrogenic insults. It describes different cellular responses to injury including recovery, cell death mechanisms like apoptosis, autophagy and necrosis, and subcellular changes or intracellular accumulations. The mechanisms of free radical generation and the role of reactive oxygen species in cell injury are explained. Methods of free radical removal like antioxidants
Cellular injury occurs when stress exceeds a cell's ability to adapt and can be caused by factors like oxygen deprivation, toxins, infections, or genetic mutations. The main mechanisms of cellular injury include ATP depletion, mitochondrial damage, loss of calcium homeostasis, accumulation of reactive oxygen species, defects in membrane permeability, and damage to DNA and proteins. Without adequate response to injury, irreversible damage occurs through mechanisms like lipid peroxidation, DNA fragmentation, and protein cross-linking, ultimately leading to cell necrosis.
Chemicals can cause cellular dysfunction through several mechanisms:
1. Causing DNA or protein adducts which can lead to mutations, dysfunction, and uncontrolled cell proliferation.
2. Inducing oxidative stress which can damage DNA and proteins.
3. Specifically interacting with protein targets like ion channels to disrupt cellular processes.
4. Inhibiting cellular respiration by blocking enzymes involved in ATP production, leading to energy depletion and cell death.
This document provides an overview of cell injury, adaptation, and death from a pathology perspective. It defines pathology and discusses homeostasis, the types and mechanisms of cell injury including hypoxia, chemicals, infections, and genetics. It describes cellular adaptations like atrophy, hypertrophy, hyperplasia, and metaplasia that cells undergo in response to injury. It also discusses the types of cell death including necrosis, apoptosis, and gangrene.
Free Radical Injury by prof dr naseer pptdr shahida
Free radicals are unstable chemical species with unpaired electrons that can damage cells. They are normally produced during respiration but are neutralized by cellular defenses. Oxidative stress occurs when free radical production overwhelms these defenses, potentially leading to conditions like aging, cancer, and neurodegenerative diseases. Cells contain antioxidant molecules and enzymes like catalase and superoxide dismutase that break down free radicals into less reactive species and prevent cellular injury. However, toxins, radiation, and other stresses can produce excessive free radicals that evade these protective systems, damaging lipids, proteins, DNA and potentially causing toxicity, inflammation, and cell death.

Free Radical Injury from ROBIN ( prof dr naseer lecture)dr shahida
Free radicals are unstable chemical species that can damage cells. They are normally produced during cellular metabolism but can increase during oxidative stress, leading to cell injury. Free radicals react with proteins, lipids, carbohydrates and nucleic acids, causing damage through lipid peroxidation, protein oxidation and DNA lesions. Cells have antioxidant defenses and scavenging systems like catalase, superoxide dismutase and glutathione peroxidase to remove free radicals, but excessive free radicals overwhelm these systems and cause pathological effects that contribute to conditions like cancer, aging and neurodegenerative diseases.
This document provides an overview of cell injury, adaptation, and death. It discusses how cells maintain homeostasis but can undergo injury from various stressors like hypoxia, chemicals, physical trauma, infections, etc. If the injury is too severe, the cells die. The mechanisms of injury involve loss of energy, mitochondrial damage, loss of calcium homeostasis, defects in membrane permeability, and generation of reactive oxygen species. Cells can adapt to injury through atrophy, hypertrophy, hyperplasia, or metaplasia. Reperfusion after ischemia can paradoxically cause more damage through calcium overload and free radical production.

2. Common mechanisms of cell injury are discussed, including ATP depletion, mitochondrial damage, calcium influx, oxidative stress, and membrane permeability defects.
3. Specific causes of injury like ischemia and hypoxia can lead to ATP loss, pH changes, impaired sodium pumping, and decreased protein synthesis, ultimately causing reversible or irreversible cell injury.
Free radicals are unstable molecules that can damage cells. This document discusses free radicals, how they are produced in the body, and how they damage lipids, proteins, and DNA through oxidation. It also describes biomarkers that are used to measure free radical damage, such as markers of lipid peroxidation (MDA, HNE), protein oxidation (protein carbonyls), and DNA oxidation (8-OHdG). Antioxidants in the body help neutralize free radicals and prevent oxidative damage.

The document discusses oxidative stress and reactive oxygen species (ROS). It defines ROS and lists some examples like superoxide anion radical, hydroxyl radical, and hydrogen peroxide. It describes how ROS are produced endogenously through processes like mitochondrial electron transport, and exogenously through factors like pollution, radiation, and xenobiotics. The effects of ROS include DNA damage and modulation of signal transduction pathways. It also discusses antioxidants, dividing them into antioxidant enzymes like superoxide dismutase and catalase, chain breaking antioxidants like vitamins C and E, and transition metal binding proteins.
This document discusses mechanisms of cell injury. It describes how the cellular response to injury depends on factors like the nature, duration and severity of the injury. Small or brief injuries may cause reversible injury, while larger or more prolonged injuries can result in immediate or slow irreversible injury. The consequences also depend on the type, state and adaptability of the injured cell. Several mechanisms can cause cell injury, including depletion of ATP, mitochondrial damage, influx of calcium, and oxidative stress. Specific patterns of tissue necrosis are also described such as coagulative, liquefactive, gangrenous and caseous necrosis.
This document discusses cell injury, adaptations, and degenerations in pathology. It begins by defining key terms like etiology, pathogenesis, and morphology. It then explains the causes of cell injury including hypoxia, physical agents, chemicals, microbes, and immune reactions. The document delves into the pathogenesis of cell injury, noting factors like the type, duration, and severity of the injurious agent and target cell characteristics. It also describes the mechanisms of cell injury such as ATP depletion, mitochondrial damage, calcium influx, oxidative stress, and membrane permeability defects. Finally, it distinguishes between reversible and irreversible cell injury.
Chemicals can cause cellular dysfunction through several mechanisms, ultimately leading to cell death via necrosis or apoptosis. Necrosis is unprogrammed cell death caused by external factors like toxins that damage cells and rupture the membrane. Apoptosis is programmed cell death where cells activate intracellular pathways to die in a controlled way. Toxins may induce apoptosis by damaging DNA or proteins, causing oxidative stress, or interfering with specific protein targets in cellular processes like respiration. This disrupts cellular homeostasis and can trigger either necrosis or apoptosis.
Chemicals can cause cellular dysfunction through several mechanisms, ultimately leading to cell death via necrosis or apoptosis. Necrosis is unprogrammed cell death caused by cellular damage and energy depletion, resulting in cell lysis and inflammation. Apoptosis is programmed cell death, where cells shrink and fragment into apoptotic bodies for removal without inflammation. Chemicals may induce apoptosis by damaging DNA/proteins, inhibiting cellular processes, or disrupting calcium and ATP levels in the cell. Oxidative stress from reactive oxygen/nitrogen species is another mechanism of chemical toxicity.
Free radicals are unstable, highly reactive molecules which are generated both in the body and outside the body. They are described as electron hungry molecules produced when oxygen is metabolized or burned by the body
Role of Free Radical in diseases
There are two main patterns of cell death: necrosis and apoptosis. Necrosis is characterized by cell swelling and membrane rupture, releasing cellular contents. Apoptosis involves cell shrinkage and intact membranes, with nuclear fragmentation. Cell injury can result from hypoxia, depletion of ATP, calcium influx, oxidative stress, and free radical damage. Specific mechanisms include impaired sodium/potassium pumping and protein synthesis, mitochondrial damage, and lipid peroxidation. This leads to loss of organelles and cellular digestion.
Free radicals are unstable molecules that contain unpaired electrons. This instability causes free radicals to be highly reactive and seek to pair their unpaired electrons by interacting with other molecules. This reactivity can damage cells and lead to diseases. Specifically:
- Free radicals become more stable by taking electrons from other atoms, which can cause cellular damage and diseases or signs of aging over time.
- Common diseases associated with free radicals include atherosclerosis, heart disease, arthritis, stroke, respiratory diseases, Parkinson's and Alzheimer's disease.
- Oxidative stress occurs when there is an imbalance between the production of reactive oxygen species/reactive nitrogen species like free radicals and a body's antioxidant defenses. This stress can damage biom
(1) Free radicals are highly reactive molecules with unpaired electrons that can cause oxidative damage. They are produced through normal metabolic processes and from environmental sources. (2) Antioxidants protect against free radical damage by neutralizing free radicals through enzymatic and non-enzymatic mechanisms. Key antioxidant enzymes include superoxide dismutase and catalase. Vitamins C and E are important non-enzymatic antioxidants. (3) Oxidative stress occurs when there is an imbalance between free radicals and antioxidants in favor of free radicals, potentially leading to cell and tissue damage associated with various diseases if left unchecked.
This document discusses reactive oxygen species (ROS) and antioxidants. It begins by defining ROS as unstable, highly reactive molecules that contain unpaired electrons, like hydrogen peroxide. ROS can damage cells by attacking macromolecules like DNA, proteins and lipids. This oxidative stress contributes to diseases like cancer and cardiovascular disease. The document then discusses the antioxidant defense system, including both enzymatic antioxidants like superoxide dismutase, catalase, and glutathione peroxidase, and non-enzymatic antioxidants like vitamins C and E. It classifies antioxidants and describes their mechanisms of action in scavenging free radicals and preventing oxidative damage.
Deleterious effects of RONS on biomoleculesNoor Lasheen
Reactive oxygen and nitrogen species (RONS) are produced naturally during metabolism but also as a response to stressors like radiation, heat, and inflammation. At high levels, RONS can damage biomolecules through oxidation, leading to oxidative stress. The main types of damage include lipid peroxidation of cell membranes, oxidation of DNA and RNA bases, protein carbonylation and nitration, and enzyme deactivation through cofactor oxidation. These molecular changes disrupt normal cellular functions and contribute to aging and diseases over time.
Cell injury occurs when cells are exposed to injurious agents and can be reversible or irreversible depending on the severity and persistence of the stimulus. There are two main types of cell death: necrosis, which is unregulated cell lysis causing inflammation, and apoptosis, which is a regulated and programmed form of cell death. Early changes in cell injury are reversible but persistent injury leads to irreversible changes and ultimately cell death through necrosis or apoptosis.
Cell injury occurs when cells encounter stresses that disrupt their internal or external environments. There are two main types of cell injury - reversible and irreversible. Reversible injury is temporary and the cell can recover, while irreversible injury leads to cell death. Common causes of cell injury include hypoxia, toxins, trauma, infections, and genetic defects. The main mechanisms of injury involve ATP depletion, loss of calcium homeostasis, oxidative stress from reactive oxygen species, and damage to mitochondria and cell membranes. Depending on the severity and duration of the stress, cell injury can result in cell adaptation, reversible injury, irreversible injury leading to cell death through necrosis or apoptosis, or chronic disease outcomes.
Free radical reactions are expected to produce progressive adverse changes that accumulate with age throughout the body. Such “normal” changes with age are relatively common to all.
However, superimposed on this common pattern are patterns influenced by genetics and environmental differences that modulate free radical damage.
These are manifested as diseases at certain ages determined by genetic and environmental factors.
Cancer and atherosclerosis, two major causes of death, are salient “free radical” diseases. Cancer initiation and promotion is associated with chromosomal defects and oncogene activation. It is possible that endogenous free radical reactions, like those initiated by ionizing radiation, may result in tumor formation.

LAND USE LAND COVER AND NDVI OF MIRZAPUR DISTRICT, UPRAHUL
This Dissertation explores the particular circumstances of Mirzapur, a region located in the
core of India. Mirzapur, with its varied terrains and abundant biodiversity, offers an optimal
environment for investigating the changes in vegetation cover dynamics. Our study utilizes
advanced technologies such as GIS (Geographic Information Systems) and Remote sensing to
analyze the transformations that have taken place over the course of a decade.
The complex relationship between human activities and the environment has been the focus
of extensive research and worry. As the global community grapples with swift urbanization,
population expansion, and economic progress, the effects on natural ecosystems are becoming
more evident. A crucial element of this impact is the alteration of vegetation cover, which plays a
significant role in maintaining the ecological equilibrium of our planet.Land serves as the foundation for all human activities and provides the necessary materials for
these activities. As the most crucial natural resource, its utilization by humans results in different
'Land uses,' which are determined by both human activities and the physical characteristics of the
land.
The utilization of land is impacted by human needs and environmental factors. In countries
like India, rapid population growth and the emphasis on extensive resource exploitation can lead
to significant land degradation, adversely affecting the region's land cover.
Therefore, human intervention has significantly influenced land use patterns over many
centuries, evolving its structure over time and space. In the present era, these changes have
accelerated due to factors such as agriculture and urbanization. Information regarding land use and
cover is essential for various planning and management tasks related to the Earth's surface,
providing crucial environmental data for scientific, resource management, policy purposes, and
diverse human activities.
Accurate understanding of land use and cover is imperative for the development planning
of any area. Consequently, a wide range of professionals, including earth system scientists, land
and water managers, and urban planners, are interested in obtaining data on land use and cover
changes, conversion trends, and other related patterns. The spatial dimensions of land use and
cover support policymakers and scientists in making well-informed decisions, as alterations in
these patterns indicate shifts in economic and social conditions. Monitoring such changes with the
help of Advanced technologies like Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems is
crucial for coordinated efforts across different administrative levels. Advanced technologies like

1. Mechanisms of Cell Injury
The cellular response to injurious stimuli depends on
the nature of the injury,
its duration, and
its severity.
2. The consequences of cell injury depend on
the type,
state, and
adaptability of the injured cell.
3. Cell injury results from different biochemical
mechanisms acting on several essential cellular
components.
The cellular components that are most frequently
damaged by injurious stimuli include
mitochondria,
cell membranes,
the machinery of protein synthesis and packaging, and
DNA.
4.
5. Mitochondrial Damage
Mitochondria can be damaged by
increases of cytosolic Ca2+,
reactive oxygen species and
oxygen deprivation
In addition, mutations in mitochondrial genes are the
cause of some inherited diseases.
So they are sensitive to virtually all types of injurious
stimuli, including hypoxia and toxins.
6. There are three major consequences of mitochondrial
damage:
1. Mitochondrial damage often results in the formation
of a high-conductance channel in the mitochondrial
membrane, called the mitochondrial permeability
transition pore.
The opening of this conductance channel leads to the
loss of mitochondrial membrane potential, resulting
in failure of oxidative phosphorylation and progressive
depletion of ATP, culminating in necrosis of the cell.
7. 2. Abnormal oxidative phosphorylation leads to the
formation of reactive oxygen species, which have many
deleterious effects.
8. 3. The mitochondria sequester between their outer and
inner membranes several proteins that are capable of
activating apoptotic pathways; these include
cytochrome c and proteins that indirectly activate
apoptosis inducing enzymes called caspases.
Increased permeability of the outer mitochondrial
membrane may result in leakage of these proteins into
the cytosol and death by apoptosis.
9. Influx of Calcium and Loss of Calcium
Homeostasis
Cytosolic free calcium is normally maintained at very
low concentrations (~0.1 µmol) compared with
extracellular levels of 1.3 mmol, and most intracellular
calcium is sequestered in mitochondria and the ER.
Ischemia and certain toxins cause an increase in
cytosolic calcium concentration, initially because of
release of Ca2+ from intracellular stores, and later due
to increased influx across the plasma membrane.
10. Increased intracellular Ca2+ causes cell injury by
several mechanisms.
1. The accumulation of Ca2+ in mitochondria results in
opening of the mitochondrial permeability
transition pore and failure of ATP generation.
2. Increased cytosolic Ca2+ activates a number of
enzymes.
11. These enzymes include
a) phospholipases (which cause membrane damage),
b) proteases (which break down both membrane and
cytoskeletal proteins),
c) endonucleases (which are responsible for DNA and
chromatin fragmentation), and
d) ATPases (thereby hastening ATP depletion).
12. 3. Increased intracellular Ca2+ levels also result in the
induction of apoptosis, by direct activation of caspases
and by increasing mitochondrial permeability.
13. Accumulation of Oxygen-Derived Free Radicals
(Oxidative Stress)
Cell injury induced by free radicals, particularly
reactive oxygen species, is an important mechanism of
cell damage in many pathologic conditions, such as
chemical and radiation injury,
ischemia-reperfusion injury (induced by restoration of
blood flow in ischemic tissue),
cellular aging, and
microbial killing by phagocytes.
14. Free radicals are chemical species that have a single
unpaired electron in an outer orbit.
Unpaired electrons are highly reactive and “attack”
and modify proteins, lipids, carbohydrates, nucleic
acids—many of which are key components of cell
membranes and nuclei.
15. Reactive oxygen species (ROS) are a type of oxygen
derived free radical produced normally in cells during
mitochondrial respiration and energy generation, but
are degraded and removed by cellular defense systems.
Increased production or decreased scavenging of ROS
may lead to an excess of these free radicals, a condition
called oxidative stress.
Oxidative stress has been implicated in a wide variety
of pathologic processes, including cell injury, cancer,
aging, and some degenerative diseases such as
Alzheimer disease.
16. Free radicals may be generated within cells in several
ways:
1. The reduction-oxidation reactions that occur during
normal metabolic processes.
As a part of normal respiration, small amounts of
partially reduced intermediates are produced in which
different numbers of electrons have been transferred
from O2; these include superoxide anion (O2 • − , one
electron), hydrogen peroxide (H2O2, two electrons),
and hydroxyl ions (˙OH, three electrons).
17. 2. Absorption of radiant energy (e.g., ultraviolet light, x-
rays).
For example, ionizing radiation can hydrolyze water
into ˙OH and hydrogen (H) free radicals.
3. Rapid bursts of ROS are produced in activated
leukocytes during inflammation.
4. Enzymatic metabolism of exogenous chemicals or
drugs can generate free radicals that are not ROS but
have similar effects (e.g., CCl4 can generate ˙CCl3).
18. 5. Transition metals such as iron and copper donate or
accept free electrons during intracellular reactions and
catalyze free radical formation, as in the Fenton
reaction (H2O2 + Fe2 → Fe3 + ˙ OH + OH− ).
Because most of the intracellular free iron is in the
ferric (Fe3+ ) state, it must be reduced to the ferrous
(Fe2+ ) form to participate in the Fenton reaction.
This reduction can be enhanced by O2 • − , and thus
sources of iron and O2 • − may co-operate in oxidative
cell damage.
19. 6. Nitric oxide (NO), an important chemical mediator
generated by endothelial cells, macrophages, neurons,
and other cell types, can act as a free radical and can
also be converted to highly reactive peroxynitrite anion
(ONOO− ) as well as NO2 and NO3 − .
20. Removal of Free Radicals.
Free radicals are inherently unstable and generally
decay spontaneously; e.g. O2 • − is unstable and decays
(dismutates) spontaneously to O2 and H2O2 in the
presence of water.
In addition, cells have developed multiple
nonenzymatic and enzymatic mechanisms to remove
free radicals and thereby minimize injury.
21. Antioxidants either block free radical formation or
inactivate (e.g., scavenge) free radicals.
Examples are the lipid-soluble vitamins E and A as well
as ascorbic acid and glutathione in the cytosol.
22. Free iron and copper can catalyze the formation of
ROS.
Under normal circumstances, the reactivity of these
metals is minimized by their binding to storage and
transport proteins (e.g., transferrin, ferritin,
lactoferrin, and ceruloplasmin)
This prevents these metals from participating in
reactions that generate ROS.
23. A series of enzymes acts as free radical-scavenging
systems and breaks down H2O2 and O2 • − .
1. Catalase, present in peroxisomes, decomposes H2O2
(2H2O2 → O2 + 2H2O).
2. Superoxidase dismutases (SODs) are found in many
cell types and convert O2 • − to H2O2 (2O2 • − + 2H
→ H2O2 + O2).
This group of enzymes includes both manganese SOD,
which is localized in mitochondria, and copper-zinc-
SOD, which is found in the cytosol.
24. 3. Glutathione peroxidase also protects against injury by
catalyzing free radical breakdown
(H2O2 + 2GSH → GSSG + 2H2O,
or 2˙OH + 2GSH → GSSG + 2H2O).
The intracellular ratio of oxidized glutathione (GSSG) to
reduced glutathione (GSH) is a reflection of the
oxidative state of the cell and is an important indicator
of the cell’s ability to detoxify ROS.
25. Pathologic Effects of Free Radicals.
1. Lipid peroxidation in membranes.
In the presence of O2, free radicals may cause
peroxidation of lipids within plasma and organellar
membranes.
The lipid-free radical interactions yield peroxides,
which are themselves unstable and reactive, and an
autocatalytic chain reaction ensues that can result in
extensive membrane damage.
26. 2. Oxidative modification of proteins.
Free radicals promote oxidation of amino acid side
chains, formation of covalent protein-protein cross-
links (e.g., disulfide bonds), and oxidation of the
protein backbone.
Oxidative modification of proteins may damage the
active sites of enzymes, disrupt the conformation of
structural proteins, and enhance proteasomal
degradation of unfolded or misfolded proteins.
27. 3. Lesions in DNA.
Free radicals are capable of causing single- and
double-strand breaks in DNA, cross-linking of DNA
strands, and formation of adducts.
Oxidative DNA damage has been implicated in cell
aging and in malignant transformation of cells.
28. Defects in Membrane Permeability
Early loss of selective membrane permeability, leading
ultimately to overt membrane damage, is a consistent
feature of most forms of cell injury (except apoptosis).
Membrane damage may affect the functions and
integrity of all cellular membranes.
29. Mechanisms of Membrane Damage.
1. In ischemic cells, membrane defects may be the result
of ATP depletion and calcium-mediated activation of
phospholipases.
2. The plasma membrane can also be damaged directly
by various bacterial toxins, viral proteins, lytic
complement components, and a variety of physical
and chemical agents.
30. 3. Several biochemical mechanisms may contribute to
membrane damage.
Reactive oxygen species. Oxygen free radicals cause
injury to cell membranes by lipid peroxidation.
Decreased phospholipid synthesis. The decreased
phospholipid synthesis may affect all cellular
membranes, including the mitochondria themselves.
31. Increased phospholipid breakdown. Phospholipid
breakdown leads to the accumulation of lipid
breakdown products, including unesterified free fatty
acids, acyl carnitine, and lysophospholipids, which
have a detergent effect on membranes.
They may also either insert into the lipid bilayer of the
membrane or exchange with membrane
phospholipids, potentially causing changes in
permeability and electrophysiologic alterations.
32. Cytoskeletal abnormalities. Cytoskeletal filaments
serve as anchors connecting the plasma membrane to
the cell interior.
Activation of proteases by increased cytosolic calcium
may cause damage to elements of the cytoskeleton.
In the presence of cell swelling, this damage results,
particularly in myocardial cells, in detachment of the
cell membrane from the cytoskeleton, rendering it
susceptible to stretching and rupture.
33. Consequences of Membrane Damage.
1. Mitochondrial membrane damage results in opening
of the mitochondrial permeability transition pore,
leading to decreased ATP generation and release of
proteins that trigger apoptotic death.
2. Plasma membrane damage results in loss of osmotic
balance and influx of fluids and ions, as well as loss of
cellular contents.
The cells may also leak metabolites that are vital for
the reconstitution of ATP, thus further depleting
energy stores.
34. 3. Injury to lysosomal membranes results in leakage of
their enzymes into the cytoplasm and activation of the
acid hydrolases in the acidic intracellular pH of the
injured cell.
Lysosomes contain RNases, DNases, proteases,
phosphatases, and glucosidases.
Activation of these enzymes leads to enzymatic
digestion of proteins, RNA, DNA, and glycogen, and
the cells die by necrosis.
35. Damage to DNA and Proteins
Cells have mechanisms that repair damage to DNA,
but if DNA damage is too severe to be corrected (e.g.,
after exposure to DNA damaging drugs, radiation, or
oxidative stress), the cell initiates a suicide program
that results in death by apoptosis.
A similar reaction is triggered by improperly folded
proteins, which may be the result of inherited
mutations or acquired triggers such as free radicals.

40. Selected Examples of Cell Injury and
Necrosis
Ischemic and Hypoxic Injury
Ischemia is the most common type of cell injury in
clinical medicine and it results from hypoxia induced
by reduced blood flow, most commonly due to a
mechanical arterial obstruction.
It can also be caused by reduced venous drainage.
In contrast to hypoxia, during which energy
production by anaerobic glycolysis can continue,
ischemia compromises the delivery of substrates for
glycolysis.
41. So in ischemic tissues, anaerobic energy generation
also stops after glycolytic substrates are exhausted, or
glycolysis is inhibited by the accumulation of
metabolites that would otherwise be washed out by
flowing blood.
For this reason, ischemia tends to cause more rapid
and severe cell and tissue injury than does hypoxia in
the absence of ischemia.
42. Mechanisms of Ischemic Cell Injury
Reduction in ATP levels is the fundamental cause of
hypoxic cell injury.
ATP is produced in two ways.
The major pathway is oxidative phosphorylation of
adenosine diphosphate by the electron transfer system
of mitochondria.
The second is the glycolytic pathway, which can
generate ATP in the absence of oxygen using glucose
derived either from body fluids or from the hydrolysis
of glycogen.
43. ATP is required for virtually all synthetic and
degradative processes within the cell such as
membrane transport,
protein synthesis,
lipogenesis, and
the deacylation-reacylation reactions necessary for
phospholipid turnover.
44. Depletion of ATP to 5%-10% of normal levels has
widespread effects on many critical cellular systems:
1. The activity of the plasma membrane energy-
dependent sodium pump (ouabain-sensitive Na+ , K+
-ATPase) is reduced.
Failure of this active transport system causes sodium to
enter and accumulate inside cells and potassium to
diffuse out.
The net gain of solute is accompanied by isosmotic
gain of water, causing cell swelling, and dilation of the
ER.
45. 2. Cellular energy metabolism is altered.
If the supply of oxygen to cells is reduced, as in
ischemia, oxidative phosphorylation ceases, resulting
in a decrease in cellular ATP and increase in adenosine
monophosphate.
These changes stimulate phosphofructokinase and
phosphorylase activities, leading to an increased rate
of anaerobic glycolysis (maintain the cell’s energy
sources by generating ATP through metabolism of
glucose derived from glycogen).
46. As a consequence glycogen stores are rapidly depleted.
Anaerobic glycolysis results in the accumulation of
lactic acid and inorganic phosphates from the
hydrolysis of phosphate esters.
This reduces the intracellular pH, resulting in
decreased activity of many cellular enzymes.
47. 3. Failure of the Ca2+ pump leads to influx of Ca2+ , with
damaging effects on numerous cellular components.
4. With prolonged or worsening depletion of ATP,
structural disruption of the protein synthetic
apparatus occurs, manifested as detachment of
ribosomes from the rough ER and dissociation of
polysomes, with a consequent reduction in protein
synthesis.
48. The cytoskeleton disperses, resulting in the loss of
ultrastructural features such as microvilli and the
formation of “blebs” at the cell surface.
“Myelin figures,” derived from degenerating cellular
membranes, may be seen within the cytoplasm (in
autophagic vacuoles) or extracellularly.
If oxygen is restored, all of these disturbances are
reversible.
49. 5. In cells deprived of oxygen or glucose, proteins may
become misfolded, and accumulation of misfolded
proteins in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) triggers a
cellular reaction called the unfolded protein response
that may culminate in cell injury and even death.
50.
51. If ischemia persists, irreversible injury and necrosis
ensue.
Irreversible injury is associated morphologically with
severe swelling of mitochondria, extensive damage to
plasma membranes and swelling of lysosomes.
Large, flocculent, amorphous densities develop in the
mitochondrial matrix.
Ultimately, there is irreversible damage to
mitochondrial and lysosomal membranes, and the cell
undergoes necrosis.
52. Massive influx of calcium into the cell then occurs,
particularly if the ischemic zone is reperfused.
Death is mainly by necrosis, but apoptosis also
contributes; the apoptotic pathway is probably
activated by release of pro-apoptotic molecules from
leaky mitochondria.
53. The cell’s components are progressively degraded, and
there is widespread leakage of cellular enzymes into
the extracellular space and, conversely, entry of
extracellular macromolecules from the interstitial
space into the dying cells.
54. Finally, the dead cells may become replaced by large
masses composed of phospholipids in the form of
myelin figures.
These are then either phagocytosed by leukocytes or
degraded further into fatty acids.
Calcification of such fatty acid residues may occur,
with the formation of calcium soaps.
55. Mammalian cells have developed protective responses
to deal with hypoxic stress.
The best-defined of these is induction of a
transcription factor called hypoxia-inducible factor-1,
which promotes new blood vessel formation,
stimulates cell survival pathways, and enhances
anaerobic glycolysis.
56. There are still no reliable therapeutic approaches for
reducing the injurious consequences of ischemia in
clinical situations.
The strategy that is perhaps the most useful in
ischemic (and traumatic) brain and spinal cord injury
is the transient induction of hypothermia (reducing
the core body temperature to 92°F).
57. This treatment reduces the metabolic demands of the
stressed cells, decreases cell swelling, suppresses the
formation of free radicals, and inhibits the host
inflammatory response.
All of these may contribute to decreased cell and tissue
injury.
59. Ischemia-Reperfusion Injury
Restoration of blood flow to ischemic tissues can
promote recovery of cells if they are reversibly injured,
but can also paradoxically exacerbate the injury and
cause cell death.
As a consequence, reperfused tissues may sustain loss
of cells in addition to the cells that are irreversibly
damaged at the end of ischemia.
60. This process, called ischemia-reperfusion injury, is
clinically important because it contributes to tissue
damage during myocardial and cerebral infarction and
following therapies to restore blood flow.
61. How does reperfusion injury occur?
Oxidative stress.
New damage may be initiated during reoxygenation by
increased generation of reactive oxygen and nitrogen
species.
These free radicals may be produced in reperfused tissue as
a result of incomplete reduction of oxygen by damaged
mitochondria, or because of the action of oxidases in
leukocytes, endothelial cells, or parenchymal cells.
Cellular antioxidant defense mechanisms may be
compromised by ischemia, favoring the accumulation of
free radicals.
62. Intracellular calcium overload.
Intracellular and mitochondrial calcium overload
begins during acute ischemia; it is exacerbated during
reperfusion due to influx of calcium resulting from cell
membrane damage and ROS mediated injury to
sarcoplasmic reticulum.
Calcium overload favors opening of the mitochondrial
permeability transition pore with resultant depletion
of ATP. This in turn causes further cell injury.
63. Inflammation.
Ischemic injury is associated with inflammation as a
result of “dangers signals” released from dead cells,
cytokines secreted by resident immune cells such as
macrophages, and increased expression of adhesion
molecules by hypoxic parenchymal and endothelial
cells, all of which act to recruit circulating neutrophils
to reperfused tissue.
The inflammation causes additional tissue injury.
64. Activation of the complement system may
contribute to ischemia-reperfusion injury.
65. Chemical (Toxic) Injury
Chemical injury remains a frequent problem in clinical
medicine and is a major limitation to drug therapy.
Because many drugs are metabolized in the liver, this
organ is a frequent target of drug toxicity.
Direct toxicity. In mercuric chloride poisoning,
mercury binds to the sulfhydryl groups of cell
membrane proteins, causing increased membrane
permeability and inhibition of ion transport.
66. In such instances, the greatest damage is usually to the
cells that use, absorb, excrete, or concentrate the
chemicals—in the case of mercuric chloride, the cells
of the gastrointestinal tract and kidney.
Cyanide poisons mitochondrial cytochrome oxidase
and thus inhibits oxidative phosphorylation.
Many antineoplastic chemotherapeutic agents and
antibiotics also induce cell damage by direct cytotoxic
effects.
67. Conversion to toxic metabolites.
Most toxic chemicals are not biologically active in their
native form but must be converted to reactive toxic
metabolites, which then act on target molecules.
This modification is usually accomplished by the
cytochrome P-450 mixed-function oxidases in the
smooth ER of the liver and other organs.
The toxic metabolites cause membrane damage and
cell injury mainly by formation of free radicals and
subsequent lipid peroxidation; direct covalent binding
to membrane proteins and lipids may also contribute.
68. CCl4, which was once widely used in the dry cleaning
industry, is converted by cytochrome P-450 to the
highly reactive free radical ˙CCl3, which causes lipid
peroxidation and damages many cellular structures.
Acetaminophen, an analgesic drug, is also converted to
a toxic product during detoxification in the liver,
leading to cell injury.
