Biology of Disease I
General pathology and principles
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Objective description: CLASS-C | Color, location, appearance, size, shape, consistency |
| Process: -itis | Inflammatory |
| Process: -osis, -opathy | Degenerative |
| Process: -trophy, -plasia, -oma | Disorders of growth |
| Degree types | mild, moderate, marked, severe (subjective) |
| Duration types | peracute, acute, subacute, chronic |
| Distribution types | focal, multifocal, locally or regionally extensive, disseminated, diffuse |
| Mild degree | mild exudative changes, little discerible tissue destruction (high likelihood of restitution) |
| Moderate degree | prominent vascular and cellular exudative changes, moderate tissue destruction |
| Severe degree | Substantial tissue destruction |
| Minimal degree | change not clinically detectable |
| Peracute | rapid onset, lasts hours, exudative, few cells |
| Acute | onset in few hours, can last days, primarily neutrophils |
| subacute | onset days to weeks, exudative changes diminished, cell infiltrate evolves from neutrophilic to mononuclear |
| chronic | onset days to weeks following injury; can last years; mononuclear infiltration, tissue regeneration, neovasculatization and fibrosis |
| chronic-active | recurrent bouts of active inflammation superimposed on chronic inflammation |
| etiologic diagnosis | a diagnosis denoting cause: cause and tissue process |
| morphologic dx | "3D ATP" tissue, process, adjective, degree, duration, distribution |
| Players in cell injury | ATP depletion, calcium, membrane permeability, mitochondrial damage, oxygen and reactive oxygen species |
| Effects of ATP depletion | membrane transport, protein synthesis, lipogenesis, phospholipid turnover |
| cytoplasmic calcium activates: | phospholipases, proteases, ATPases, endonucleases |
| Effects of mitochondrial damage | increased Ca, oxidative stress, phospholipid breakdown and breakdown products. Results in Mitochondrial Permeability Transition (MPT), cytochrome C leakage, loss of membrane potential |
| Effects of oxygen and ROS damage | damage to membranes, proteins, nucleic acids |
| Reversible hypoxia steps | 1. ATP depletion: anaerobic glyclysis 2. Na:K:ATPase pump shuts down 3. intracellular Na accumulation 4. intracellular water accumulation via osmotic mechanisms 5. swelling of organelles |
| Transition to irreversible injury | 1. Degranulation of RER (loss of ribosomes) 2. Moderate to severe mitochondrial swelling |
| Irreversible ischemic injury steps | 1. Severe mitochondrial swelling 2. massive Ca influx 3. increased membrane permeability 4. lysosomes leak 5. cellular enzymes leak into extra-cellular space |
| Irreversible injury: pyknosis | condensation of molecular material (calcium sink in mitochondria leads to mineralization and dissolution) |
| Irreversible injury: karyorrhexis | destructive fragmentation of nucleus |
| karyolysis | dissolution of cell nucleus |
| Ischemia/reperfusion injury | continued cell death following reperfusion. 1. cells are structurally intact but have lethal functional changes; 2. new injuring processes are initiated; perhaps elaboration of ROS |
| Reactive Oxygen Species (5) | Superoxide anion (O2-); singlet oxygen (O); hydroxyl radical (OH); nitric oxide (NO); hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) |
| Fenton Reaction | Pro-oxidative: transition metals (Fe or Cu) catalyze reactions generating reactive oxygen species (OH. and OH-) (hemostasis during surgery can increase Fe in tissue and cause oxidative injury) |
| Haber-Weiss Reaction | Pro-oxidative: antioxidant defenses are overwhelmed, superoxide and hydrogen peroxide interact to form hydroxyl radical (OH.) and hydroxide (OH-) |
| Superoxide Dismutase | Inactivates superoxide (forming H2O2 + O2), preventing ROS damage. 1. Mg SO in mitochondria; 2. Cu Zn SOD in cytosol |
| Specific antioxidant: Catalase | Inactivates H2O2 --> O2 + 2H2O |
| Specific antioxidant: Glutathione Peroxidase | Inactivates H2O2 and hydroxyl radical (GSSG (disulfide bond) + 2H2O) - can measure glutathione to assess oxidative stress |
| ***Non-specific cellular antioxidant defenses | Vitamin A, E (membrane antioxidant - prevents lipid peroxidation), C (water soluble); Caeruloplasmin (binds Cu2+); transferrin, lactoferrin, ferritin, hemosiderin (iron bound by protein prevents Fenton Rxn) |
| 4 morphologic patterns of necrosis | 1. coagulative 2. liquefactive 3. caseous 4. "special cases" - fat necrosis, gangrene |
| Coagulative necrosis: gross | "cooked" |
| Coagulative necrosis: histo | hypereosinophilic "ghost cells" (tissue architecture intact) |
| Coagulative necrosis: cause | usually ischemia (or occur in tissues with few proteases) |
| Liquefactive necrosis: gross | "liquid" |
| Liquefactive necrosis: histo | usually neutrophils (granulation tissue) |
| Liquefactive necrosis: cause | usually bacterial, or tissues with little stoma (e.g. CNS) |
| Caseous necrosis: gross | "cheese" (can be mineralized - "gritty") |
| Caseous necrosis: histo | sheets of macrophages (granulomatous) surrounding an amorphous center of debris |
| Caseous necrosis: cause | specific immuno-pathologic phenomenon; mycobacterial cell walls |
| Fat necrosis: gross | chalky or mineralized |
| Fat necrosis: histo | lightly basophilic, smudgy saponified material, sometimes with granulomatous inflammation |
| Fat necrosis: cause | ischemia, toxins, lipases |
| Gangrene: cause | ischemia |
| Gangrene: typical location | distal extremity or GI tract |
| "dry" gangrene: pattern of necrosis | coagulative |
| "wet" gangrene: pattern of necrosis | liquefactive, with tissue digestion by opportunistic bacteria (often w/ gas production) |
| Autolysis: process | "rotting"- enzymatic degradation and protein denaturation by host enzymes (typically w/ microbial enzyme involvement) |
| 4 tissue types which undergo rapid autolytic change | adrenal, CNS, liver, gut |
| Rigor mortis: influencing factors | temperature, glycogen stores, pH of muscle |
| "hyaline" definition | microscopic appearance = eosinophilic, homogeneous, glassy material (intracellular or extracellular) |
| Extracellular protein deposits: three examples | edema fluid, fibrin, amyloid |
| amyloid: definition | any protein with fibrils measuring 7.5-10.0nm with a beta-pleated sheet configuration will take on the histologic appearance referred to as "amyloid" (aka "beta-fibrilloses") |
| amyloid: morphology | amorphous, hyaline, extracellular (red-orange or apple green depending on stain) |
| AL amyloid | formed from Ig light chains |
| AA amyloid | formed from serum amyloid A (SAA), an acute phase reactavt stains blue-black w/ iodine followed by sulfuric acid (typically follows chronic inflammation) |
| AF amyloid | usually prealbumin; named for its presence in human familial amyloidoses |
| Endocrine amyloid | formed from a variety of hormone and hormone-like receptors |
| Lipofuscin (pigment) | lipid breakdown product; "wear and tear" pigment w/in lysosomes. granular golden-brown |
| carbon (pigment) | "antracosis" - lung, urban environments, incidental |
| biological pigments | certain fungi, protozoa, etc. are pigmented (e.g. blue-green algae) |
| acid-hematin (pigment) | artifact of tissue processing (blackish - can resemble hemosiderin) |
| ***Melanosis | incidental pigmentation of tissues in pigmented animals; pleura and meninges most commonly infected |
| ***Reactive melanosis/hyperpigmentation | chronically inflamed skin |
| ***Pseudomelanosis | postmortem artifact: production of hydrogen sulfide by bacteria with subsequent reaction with iron in hemoglobin to form insoluble iron sulfide (particularly seen in peritoneal and retroperitoneal cavity due to high levels of bacteria in gut) |
| hemosiderin (pigment) | lighter brown granular pigment; represents large accumulations of iron and apoferritin (together called ferritin) |
| hematoidin (pigment) | light yellow variant of hemosiderin that occurs during wound resolution as iron is removed from hemosiderin by macrophages |
| bilirubin (pigment) | greenish yellow pigment, usually not granular; seen within hepatocytes, bile canaliculi, and renal tubular epithelium |
| dystrophic calcification | mineralization of dead or dying cells; membrane vesicles form as cell membranes break down and these serve as a nidus for mineral deposition (often seen w/ granulomatous inflammation w/ casseation, e.g. TB) |
| metastatic calcification | mineralization in living tissue; excess Ca and P in the blood precipitate (exceed max saturation); commonly seen in gastric mucosa, blood vessels, basement membranes in the lungs and kidney (i.e. sites of acid exchange) |
| metastatic calcification: causes | hypervitaminosis D, renal disease, primary hyperparathyroidism hyperadrenocorticism, paraneoplastic syndrome (PTH-like related protein released by tumors) |
| necrosis | passive, degradative, from fatal cell injury |
| apoptosis, pyroptosis, pyronecrosis, autophagy, and oncosis | programmed cell death |
| cell death producing inflammation | necrosis, oncosis, pyroptosis, pyronecrosis |
| cell death without inflammation | apoptosis, autophagy |
| In which tissues does apoptosis normally occur? | tissues undergoing physiologic or post-pathologic atrophy; embryonic tissues |
| What cells are typically subject to apoptosis? | hematopoietic cell lines (termination of inflammation, self-reactive T cells), cells killed by T cells (AI, viral infection, cells with DNA damage, cells injured by hypoxia, irradiation, hyperthermia, toxins, and drugs |
| necrosis vs. apoptosis: which has mitochondrial and ER changes? | necrosis |

| 3 types of initiation phase of apoptosis | 1. extrinsic pathway 2. intrinsic pathway (mitochondria) 3. perforin/granzyme pathway (activate T cells) |
| Final result of all three types of initiation phase of apoptosis | Execution pathway: caspase 3 activation leading to cellular degradation and formation of apoptotic bodies |
| apoptosis intrinsic pathway: intracellular signals - negative factors | absence of growth factors, hormones, or cytokines; loss of apoptotic suppression |
| apoptosis intrinsic pathway: intracellular signals - positive factors | radiation, toxins, hypoxia, hyperthermia, viral infections, free radicals |
| apoptotic changes in mitochondrial membrane | Mitochondrial Permeability Transmission (MPT) - release of pro-apoptotic proteins from intermembrane space (including CYTOCHROME C) into cytosol - initiation of caspase cascade |
| apoptosis - perforin/granzyme pathway | 1. CD8 T cell recognizes foreign antigen on cell surface 2. secretion of perforin forming pore in target cell surface 3. secretion of Granzyme B which activates caspases |
| apoptosis: DNA damage-mediated | 1. damage to DNA results in elaboration of p53 (proofreading enzyme) 2. p53 stops cell cycles to allow DNA repair 4. if DNA damage is too great, p53 initiates apoptosis |
| p53 | DNA proofreading enzyme. Can initiate apoptosis in event of irreparable DNA damage (prevention of neoplastic cell proliferation) |
| Executioner caspases | point where initiation pathways (w/ initiator caspases 8, 9, 10) converge; activation of ENDONUCLEASES AND PROTEASES |
| phosphatidylserine | externalized to apoptotic cell surface - signal non-inflammatory phagocytic recognition and phagocytosis |
| pyroptosis | caspase-1 dependent cell death (active cell deletion); results in swelling and lysis of cell - cytokine release causes inflammation (desired for scarring and tissue repair) |
| autophagy | Double membraned lysosomal digestion of cell components (autophagosome) - characterized by vacuolization, degradation of cell components, lack of chromatin condensation; results in non-inflammatory phagocytosis |
| two disorders associated with decreased apoptosis | 1. neoplasia 2. autoimmune disease - insufficient apoptosis of auto-reactive cells |
| three disorders associated with increased apoptosis | 1. neurodegenerative disorders 2. exacerbation of damage in ischemic injury (e.g. ischemia-reperfusion) 3. virus-induced lymphocyte depletion in acquired immune deficiency syndromes |
