PRINCIPLES
RELEVANT
TO
MOST
FORMS
OF
CELL
INJURY
1. The
cellular
response
to
injurious
stimuli
depends
on
the
nature
of
the
injury,
its
duration,
and
its
severity.
2. The
consequences
of
cell
injury
depend
on
the
type,
state,
and
adaptability
of
the
injured
cell.
3. Cell
injury
results
from
different
biochemical
mechanisms
acting
on
several
essential
cellular
components.
4. Any
injurious
stimulus
may
simultaneously
trigger
multiple
interconnected
mechanisms
that
damage
cells.
MECHANISMS
OF
CELL
INJURY
1. Decrease
ATP
has
multiple
downstream
effects
2. Mitochondrial
damage
leads
to
leakage
of
pro-apoptotic
proteins
and
has
other
multiple
downstream
effects
due
to
decrease
in
ATP
3. Entry
of
calcium
activation
od
cellular
enzymes
and
increase
in
mitochondrial
permeability
4. Increase
in
ROS
leads
to
damage
to
lipids,
proteins
and
DNA
5. Membrane
damage
leads
to
loss
of
cellular
components
(plasma
membrane)
and
enzymatic
digestion
of
cellular
components
(lysosomal
membrane)
6. Protein
misfolding,
DNA
damage
activation
of
pro-apoptotic
proteins

PATTERNS
OF
NECROSIS

Architecture
of

some
more
days
and
thereafter
removed
by
infiltrating
leukocytes
Infarct

2. Liquefactive
Necrosis
Digestion

dead

with
formation
of
liquid
viscous

seen
in

Necrotic
material
is
called

3. Caseous
Necrosis
Seen
in

Grossly

as

histologically
as

CELLULAR
AGING
A
result
of
a
progressive
decline
in
cellular
function
and
viability
caused
by
genetic
abnormalities
and
the
accumulation
of
cellular
and
molecular
damage
due
to
the
effects
of
exposure
to
exogenous
influences.
Mechanisms:
1. Decreased
cellular
replication
Telomere
(repeated
sequences
of
TTAGGG)
shortening
which
ultimately
results
in
cell
cycle
arrest.
Telomerase
is
highest
in
germ
cells,
lower
in
stem
cells
and
is
usually
undetectable
in
somatic
cells.
2. Accumulation
of
metabolic
and
genetic
damage
Werner

premature

defective
gene
product
is
a
DNA
helicase
which
is
involved
in

replication
and
repair
and
other
functions
requiring

unwinding
resulting
in
accumulation
of
chromosomal
damage
