Term
Does epithelial damage result in regeneration or repair?
Definition
regeneration
Term
DOes ECM damage result in regeneration or repair?

repair (scar formation)

permanent tissue
Term
What are some examples of quiescent or stable tissues?
Definition
parenchymal cells like the liver and pancreas
Term
Give examples of permanent tissue.
Definition
neurons, skeletal muscle, cardiac muscle
Term
What are the checkpoints in the cell cycle?
Definition
G1/S checkpoint monitors DNA integrity before replication. G2/M check point monitors DNA integrity after replication
Term
What is retinoblastoma suceptibility protein?
Definition
a protein that prevents cells from replicating by binding with and inactivating the transcription factor E2F
Term
What is p53?
Definition
a protein that facilitates apoptosis in cells with DNA damage that is too severe to repair.

Definition
True
Term
What is EGF? Which cells produce it?
Definition
epidermal growth factor produced for wound healing by keratinocytes, macrophages, and inflammatory cells
Term
What is TGF alpha?
Definition
transforming growth factor alpha. It causes epithelial cell proliferation and malignant transformation
Term
T/F EGF and TGF alpha use slightly different receptors.
Definition
FALSE, they share a common receptor
Term
HGF is also known as _________.
Definition
scatter factor
Term
Which cells produce HGF?
Definition
fibroblasts, mesenchymal cells, and nonparenchymal liver cells
Term
What is the purpose of HGF?
Definition
in embryogenesis it promotes cell scattering, migration, and survival of hepatocytes. It also has a mitogenic effect on hepatocytes and most epithelial cells
Term
The receptor of growth factor _________ is often over-expressed or mutated in human tumors.
Definition
HGF
Term
What does PDGF stand for?
Definition
platelet derived growth factor
Term
What produces PDGF?
Definition
macrophages, endothelial cells, smooth muscle cells, and many tumor cells
Term
Where is PDGF stored? What happens when it is released?
Definition
platelet granules and is released upon platelet activation. PDGF causes migration and proliferation of fibroblasts, smooth muscle cells, and monocytes to areas of wound healing
Term
What's the difference between vasculogenesis and angiogenesis? What growth factor causes them?
Definition
vasculogenesis is blood vessel formation in early development. angiogenesis is growth on new blood vessels in adult. BOth are caused by vascular endothelial growth factor
Term
Fibroblast growth factor consists of a family of about how many growth factors?
Definition
20
Term
What does fibroblast growth factor aid in?
Definition
wound healing, angiogenesis, hematopoiesis, development of muscle, lung maturation, and liver differntiation
Term
TGF-beta stands for ________ and consists of a super-family of ___ members.
Definition
transforming growth factor beta. 30
Term
Which growth factor inhibits growth form most epithelial cells by blocking the cell cycle and YET can promote invasion and metastasis in tumor growth?
Definition
TGF-beta
Term
TGF-beta stimulates production of what proteins/molecules?
Definition
collagen, fibronectin, and proteoglycans
Term
TGF-beta can be involved in what disease processes?
Definition
hypertrophic scars, systemic sclerosis, marfan syndrome, fibrosis of lung, kidney, liver
Term
What effect does TGF-beta have on the immune system?
Definition
it has a strong anti-inflammtory effect but may enhance some immune functions
Term
Name the five steps of repair by connective tissue.
Definition
inflammation, angiogenesis, migration/proliferation of fibroblasts, scar formation, connective tissue remodeling
Term
In what kinds of situations does pathologic angiogenesis occur?
Definition
tumor growth, diabetic retinopathy, and chronic inflammation
Term
What are the steps of angiogenesis from preexisting vessel?
Definition
vasodilation, degradation of the basement membrane, migration, proliferation, and maturation of endothelial cells,recruitment of periendothelial cells
Term
What do endothelial precursor cells come from?
Definition
cells that originate in the bone marrow and enter circulation in high concentrations in ischemic conditions.
Term
what do endothelial precursor cells do?
Definition
responsible for re-endothelization of vascular implants, neovascularization of ischemic organs, neovascularizatio of cutaneous wounds and neovascularization of tumors
Term
What is healing by first intention also called?
Definition
healing by primary union (clean unifected surgical incision is sutured)
Term
What are indications for healing by second intention or secondary union?
Definition
large defects with extensive loss of cells and tissue taht involves a more intense inflammatory response, abundant granulation tissue, extensive collagen deposition, substantial scar, and contraction
Term
What are two purposes for forming a blood clot in a cutaneous wound?
Definition
to stop bleeding and serve as a scaffold for migration
Term
WHen do neutrophils arrive at a cutaneous wound?
Definition
within 24 hours
Term
After a cutaneous wound, when do fibroblasts and endothelial cells start to proliferate?
Definition
between 24-72 hours
Term
What is granulation tissue characterized by?
Definition
acute inflammation, neovascularization (leaky blood vessels), edema, fibroblasts
Term
When do macrophages arrive on the scene after a cutaneous wound? What do they do?
Definition
48-96 hours. THey clear debris, promote angiogenesis, promote ECM deposition, and promote migration of fibroblasts
Term
About how long after a cutaneous wound does it take for epithelial cells to form a thin epithelial line beneath the scab?
Definition
24-48 hours
Term
What happens at week 2 of cutaneous wound healing?
Definition
there is no longer any white cell infiltration or edema or increased vascularity. Instead there is blanchign, increased collagen, and regression of vascular channels
Term
Describe granulation tissue (aka a scar) by the end of the first month after injury
Definition
pale, avascular, nearly acellular, dense collagen with occasional fibroblasts. No inflammatory cells. Surface is covered by intact epithelium
Term
WHat cells moderate wound contraction?
Definition
myofibroblasts
Term
Which cells do myofibroblasts come from?
Definition
tissue fibroblasts (via PDGF, TGF-beta, GFG-2, the secretory products of macrophages), fibrocytes (bone marrow precursors), and epithelial cells (via epithelial to mesenchymal transition
Term
T/F granulation tissue is different from a mature scar.
Definition
True, there are changes in the composition of the ECM when granulation tissue becomes a mature scar
Term
What is the strength of a healed wound at 1 week? When does it plateau?
Definition
10% at one week and increases rapidly over 3-4 weeks. SLows at 3-4 months and plateaus at 70-80%
Term
What systemic factors affect wound healing?
Definition
nutrition (vitamin C), metabolic status (diabetes), circulatory status (ischemia), and hormones (glucocorticoids)
Term
What local factors affect wound healing?
Definition
infection (most important), mechanical factors (separate edges), foreign bodies (fragments), and size, location, and type of wound
Term
Keloids is another name for ______.
Definition

Severe contraction is common after what types of injuries and on what parts of the body?
Definition
burns on the palms, soles, and thorax
Term
What do you call excessive deposition of collagen in tissue?
Definition
fibrosis
Term
What causes fibrosis?
Definition
often triggered by chronic inflammation. Its due to activation of macrophages that release PDGF, FGF, TGF-beta, TNF, IL-1, IL-4, IL-13 (causing fibroblast proliferation) and have decrese in proteinase activity
