  1. Inflammation-2 Fatima Obeidat, MD

  2. Leukocyte Cellular Events • Margination, rolling and adhesion. • Transmigration between endothelial cells. • Migration in the interstitium toward the site of stimulus (chemotaxis and activation) • Phagocytosis and degranulation (Release of leukocyte products.)

  3. Rolling, adhesion, and transmigration are mediated by the binding of complementary adhesion molecules between leukocytes and endothelial surfaces. • Chemical mediators (chemoattractants) affect these processes by modulating the surface expression of the adhesion molecules and by stimulating directional movement of the leukocytes.

  4. Mediators : • Selectins in rolling. • Chemokines in activating the neutrophils to increase surface affinity of integrins. • Integrinsin firm adhesion. • CD31 (PECAM-1) in transmigration

  5. 1- Margination and Rolling • Leukocyte accumulation at the periphery of vessels is called margination. • Leukocytes transiently stick loosely to endothelial surface, along the way, this is calledrolling. • This weak and transient adhesion is mediated by the selectinfamily of adhesion molecules.

  6. a.Margination • As blood flows from capillaries into post capillary venules, circulating cells are swept by the laminar flow against the vessel wall • The smaller red blood cells tend to move faster than leukocytes • As a result , the leukocytes are pushed out of the central axial column and thus have a better opportunity to interact with the endothelial cells

  7. Margination

  8. Rolling mediated by Three types of selectins • E-selectin : on endothelial cells • P-selectin : on endothelium and platelets • L-selectin : on surface of most leukocytes

  9. b.Rolling • Is mediated by selectins • Selectins bind sialyated oligosaccharide(their ligands) 1. The endothelial selectins are typically low expressed or not expressed at all on normal cells, therefore binding of leukocytes is largely restricted to endothelium at sites of inflammation or injury

  10. E. Selectin which is not expressed on normal endothelium is induced by TNF and IL-1 to bind leukocytes

  11. 2.p-selectin is present in intracellular wiebel-palade bodies and within minutes of exposure to mediators such as histamine p-selectin is distributed to the cell surface where it can facilitate leukocyte binding

  12. 2- Firm adhesion • Integrinson leukocytes and their ligands on endothelial cells. • Normally expressed on leukocytes membranes in a low-affinity form. • Adhere to their ligands upon activation by chemokines.

  13. Ligands for integrins on endothelial cells • ICAM-1 (intercellular adhesion molecule 1) binds integrin LFA1 and MAC1 • VCAM-1 (vascular cell adhesion molecule 1), binds integrinVLA4 • IL-1 and TNF increases their expression. • The net result is stable adhesion of leukocytes to endothelial cells at sites of inflammation.

  14. 3- Transmigration of leukocytes • Squeezing between cells at intercellular junctions (Diapedesis). • Mediated by PECAM-1 (platelet endothelial cell adhesion molecule 1, also called CD31). • Collagenases to degrade the BM.

  15. 4- Chemotaxis • Migration of leukocytes toward site of inflammation • Exogenous and endogenous chemotactic factors: • (1) bacterial products, particularly peptides with N-formylmethionine termini • (2) cytokines, especially those of the chemokine family like IL-8. • (3) Complement system, particularly C5a • (4) products of the lipoxygenasepathway of arachidonic acid (AA) metabolism, particularly leukotriene B4 (LTB4)

  16. Nature of leukocyte infiltrates in acute inflammatory reactions • Neutrophils predominate in the inflammatory infiltrate during the first 6 to 24 hours and are replaced by monocytes in 24 to 48 hours. • Neutrophils are short-lived-they die by apoptosis and disappear within 24 to 48 hours-while monocytes survive longer.

  17. Lobar Pneumonia

  18. 5-Leukocyte Activation • Needed to perform their function. • Leukocytes express on their surface different kinds of receptors that sense the presence of microbes, dead cells and foreign substances such as toll-like receptors • Engagement of these receptors induces responses in leukocytes to perform defensive functions.

  19. Leukocyte activation • 1- Phagocytosis of particles, an early step in the elimination of harmful substances. • 2-Intracellular destruction of phagocytosed microbes and dead cells; using lysosomal enzymes and reactive oxygen and nitrogen species. • 3-Liberation of substances that destroy extracellular microbes and dead tissues (microbicidal) • 4- Production of mediators that amplify the inflammatory reaction, including arachidonic acid metabolites and cytokines.

  20. Phagocytosis • Ingestion and digestion by cells of solid substances, e.g., other cells, bacteria, necrotic tissue or foreign material. • Steps : • Recognition, attachment and binding to cellular receptors. • Engulfment. • Phagocyticvacoule. • Phagolysosome. • Killing or degradation or ingested material.

  21. Recognition first: • By specific surface receptors for: • 1-Components of microbes (LPS) • 2-Dead cells • 3-Host proteins (opsonins) that coat microbes and target them for phagocytosis ( A. IgG class, B.C3 products, C.Collectins

  22. Opsonin Receptors • Receptors IgG: Fc Gamma R • Receptor for C3b: CR1-3 • Receptor for collectins is c1q

  23. In engulfment, psedopods are extending around the object eventually forming the phagocytic vacuole • The membrane of the phagocytic vacuole fuses with the lysosomal granules forming the phagolysosome

  24. Killing of Infectious Agents • Oxygen burst products (free radicals, leukocyte oxidase) • Lysosomalenzymes (elastase, acid hydrolases) • Bactericidal permeability increasing protein • lysozyme • Major basic protein (in eosinophils) • Defensins

  25. Reactive oxygen species • Produced by NADPH oxidase… produces superoxide ion. • Superoxide converted by spontaneously to Hydrogen peroxide. • Hydrogen peroxide converted to HOCL radical by neutrophil myeloperoxidase. .
