Introduction to ‘Inflammation’ Dr. habil. Kőhidai László Assoc. Professor Dept. Genetics, Cell- and Immunobiology Semelweis University Chemotaxis - Elective Course 2016– EM-ED
Components of inflammatory response Cells of connective tissue Vascular lumen Extracellular matrix Collagen IV. Laminin Fibronectin Elastin Proteoglycan
Inflammation phase 1 contraction of endothel histamine, bradykinin
Inflammation phase 2 injury of endothel bacterial, burns 2-12 hrs
Inflammation phase 3 accumulation of leukocytes release of proteolytic enzymes
Inflammation phase 4 regeneration of capillaries
Activation of endothel PAF P selectin Cytokine NO IL-8 E selectin PAF = platelet activating factor
Most significant groups of chemoattractant substances in inflammation Soluble bacterial products (e.g. fMLF) Products of complemet cascade (e.g. C5a) Arachidonic acid metabolism – products of lipoxigenase line (LTB4)

Plasma origin chemoattractant substances Complement C3a C4a C5a C5a desArg Fibrinogen fibrinopeptide B D E
Arachidonic acid metabolites Phospholipides of surface membrane Phospholipases ARACHIDONIC ACID lipoxigenase cyclooxygenase Leukotrien A4 (LTA4) Prostaglandin G2 (PGG2) PGH2 PGD2 PGE2 PGF2a LTC4 LTD4 LTE4 LTB4
Characterization of cytokines small molecular mass, glycisilated proteins members of inflammatory and immune processes short lifespan auto- and paracrine actions significant effects even in low concentrations inducers of RNA and protein synthesis in the target cells frequent inducer and blocker crossreactions transmodulation on receptors of each other
IL-1 TNF Producer and target cells of cytokines granulocyte lymphocyte macrophage keratinocyte astrocyte mezangial cell macrophage NK-cell mast cell IL-1 TNF granulocyte lymphocyte + vascular responses
IL-1 TNF IL-8 synthesis Inducer crossreactions between cytokines monocyte macrophage fibroblast endothel epithel IL-8 synthesis Inducer crossreactions between cytokines
Neutrophil-dependent C5a M TNF IL-1 U U U Endothel-dependent
