Innate Immunity & Inflammation Dr. M. Izad Oct 2014
Objectives • Innate immunity • Physical barriers • Chemical barriers • Cellular Barriers • Connections between innate & adaptive immunity • Inflammation
Mucus & Mechanical factors • Commensal flora (infection by Candida spp, Clastridiuumdifficile) • PH chenges (Production of glycogen by the epithelium in the vagina)
Some antimicrobial peptides • Membrane disruption • Inhibiting the synthesis of DNA, RNA or proteins • Activating antimicrobial enzymes • Staphylococcus aureus • Streptococcus pneumoniae • E.Coli • Pseudomonas aeruginosa • Hemophilus influenzae • Fungi • Viruses
Signaling functions of TLRs (2) Fig. 4-3 B
Killing Mechanism in Leukocytes Oxidative Reactive Oxygen Species (ROS) (NADPH phagosomeoxidase/ Phox) Reactive Nitrogen Species (RNS) Non oxidative Fusion of neutrophil granules with phagosomes Antimicrobial peptides (defensins & cathelicidins) Antimicrobial proteins (BPI: bactericidal/ permeability increasing protein) Enzymes (proteases & lysozyme)
TLR Bacteria Fungi protozoa
NK Cells Kill Injured and Infected Cells Fig. 4-8 A
Natural Killer (NK) cells provide a first line of defense against viral infection
NK Cells Activate Macrophages Fig. 4-8 B
Dendritic cells (DC) As agents of innate immunity, immature dendritic cells use a variety of PRRs (TLRs) to recognize pathogens. Provide a link between innate & adaptive immunity. Are able to generate ROS, NO & antimicrobial peptides. Plasmacytoid DCs are potent producers of type I interferons.
Inflammation Acute/Chronic Inflammation is a physiological response to a variaty of stimuli such as infections and tissue injury.
Hallmarks of Inflammation • Increasing of vascular permeability • Swelling (edema) • vasodilation • Redness • Heat • extravasation • Pain • Loss of function
Recruitment of macrophages & antimicrobial agents from the bloodstream in an inflammation response
Chronic Inflammation develops when Antigen persists the accumulation & activation of macrophages is the hallmark of chronic inflammation. Fibrosis Granuloma (giant cells, epitheloid cells)
