Chapter Two  adaptation and injury
Adaptation & Cellular Injury : Normal cell is in a steady state  “Homeostasis” Cells constantly adjust structure and function to accommodate changing demands and extracellular stress. But within a relatively narrow range of physiologic parameter. Change in Homeostasis due to stimuli - Injury
Irreversible Injury   (cell death)   Reversible Injury   adaptation  normal   When cells encounter physiological stresses or pathological stimuli, they undergo adaptation, achieving a new a steady state and preserving viability.  If the adaptive capacity is exceeded, cell injury develops.  Within certain limits, injury is reversible. with severe and persistent stress, irreversible injury results.
adaptation A state that between normal, unstressed cell  and the injured, overstressed cell.
General principles 1. The cellular response to injurious stimuli depends on the type of injury.
Incomplete occlusion of coronary artery  Complete or prolonged occlusion hypertesion Prolonged starvation
General principles 2.The consequences of an injurious stimulus depend on the type, status, adaptability, and genetic makeup of injured cell.
Skeletal muscle accommodates complete ischemia for 2 to 3 hours without irreversible injury. cardiac muscle dies after 20 to 30 minutes. Neuron dies after a few minutes.
General principles 3.Cellular function is far before cell death occurs, and the morphologic changes of cell injury(or death) lag far behind both.

Cell  injury Section B
Causes of cell injury and disease Oxygen deprivation ( hypoxia, ischemia) Nutritional imbalances Physical agents Chemical agents and drugs Infectious agents Immunologic reactions Genetic derangements
 
HYPOXIA Ischemia ( loss of blood supply ). Inadequate oxygenation ( cardiorespiratory failure ). Loss of oxygen-carrying capacity of the blood ( anemia or CO poisoning ).
HYPOXIC INJURY Loss of oxidative phosphorylation and ATP generation by mitochondria. Decreased ATP (with increase in AMP): stimulating fructokinase and phosphorylation, resulting in aerobic glycolysis. Depleted glycogen. Reduced intracellular pH: Lactic acid and inorganic phosphate. Clumping of nuclear chromatin.
Four biochemical themes Oxygen-derived free radicals. Loss of calcium homeostasis and increased intracellular calcium. ATP depletion. Defects in membrane permeability.
PHYSICAL AGENTS Trauma Heat Cold Radiation Electric shock
CHEMICAL AGENTS AND DRUGS Endogenous products: urea Exogenous agents: Therapeutic drugs: hormones Nontherapeutic agents:  lead or alcohol
MECHANISMS OF CHEMICAL INJURY Directly:  Mercury of mercuric chloride binds to SH groups of cell membrane proteins, causing increased permeability and inhibition of ATPase-dependent transport.
By conversion to reactive toxic metabolites which in turn cause cell injury either by direct covalent binding to membrane protein and lipid, or more commonly by the formation of free radicals. MECHANISMS OF CHEMICAL INJURY
CCl 4  in SER of liver cell (P-450) – CCl 3 .  – lipid peroxidation and autocatalytic reactions – swelling and breakdown of ER, dissociation of ribosome, and decreased hepatic protein synthesis ( loss of lipid acceptor protein – fatty change of liver cell) – progressive cellular swelling, plasma membrane damage, and cell death.
FREE RADICAL INITIATION Absorption of energy (UV light and x-rays) Oxidative metabolic reactions Enzymatic conversion of exogenous chemicals or drugs (CCl 4 >CCl 3 . ) Oxygen-derived radicals Superoxide
Cell injury caused by free radicals through Peroxidation of lipids. Cross linking proteins by the formation of disulfide bonds. Induction of DNA damage that has been implicated both in cell killing and malignant transformation.
INFECTIOUS AGENTS Viruses Rickettsiae Bacteria Fungi Parasites
Marfan syndrome Fibrillin, a scaffolding on which tropoelastin   is deposited to form  elastic fibers. FBN1, 15q21, mutations in Marfan syndrome. FBN2, 5q3, mutations in congenital contractual arachnodactyly.  Genetic derangements
Adenomatous polyposis coli APC loci, 5q21 Adenomatous polyposis in colons (in teens). 100% malignant transformation (    40ys ). APC protein in the cytoplasm.

Comparison of cell death by apoptosis and necrosis
Terminology: Necrosis:  Morphologic changes seen in dead cells within living tissue. Autolysis:  Dissolution of dead cells by the cells own digestive enzymes. (not seen) Apoptosis:  Programmed cell death. Physiological, for cell regulation.
Types of Necrosis: Coagulative – Eg. Infarction Liquifactive - Brain, abscess Fibrinous - colleagen Caseous - Bacterial / Tuberculosis Gangrene - With infection
Ageing: “ Progressive time related loss of structural and functional capacity of cells leading to death” Senescence, Senility, Senile changes. Ageing of a person is intimately related to cellular ageing.
Factors affecting Ageing: Genetic – Clock genes,  (fibroblasts) Diet – malnutrition, obesity etc. Social conditions -  Diseases – Atherosclerosis, diabetes etc. Werner’s syndrome.
Cellular mechanisms of ageing Cross linking proteins & DNA. Accumulation of toxic by-products. Ageing genes. Loss of repair mechanism. Free radicle injury Telomerase shortening.
Telomerase in ageing: Germ Cells Somatic Cells
Ageing –changes: Gradual atrophy of tissues and organs. Dementia Loss of skin elasticity Greying and Loss of hair BV damage – atherosclerosis/bruising. Loss of Lens elasticity    opacity    vision Lipofuscin  pigment deposition – Brown atrophy in vital organs.
Pathology of elderly
