MECHANISMS OF CELL INJURY
General principles:- The cellular response to injurious stimuli
depends on 1. type of injury
2. Its duration3. Severity
-The consequences depend onthe type, status, adaptability, and genetic
makeup of the injured cell.
-The structural and biochemical components of a cell are so integrally connected that multiple secondary effects rapidly occur
-Cellular function is lost far before cell death occurs

CONCEPT OF INJURY AND CELLULAR RESPONSE TO INJURY
• one of two things can happen to the cell:
1. It can survive in a damaged state and adapt to the injury (REVERSIBLE INJURY) or
2. It can die (IRREVERSIBLE INJURY) or cell death.
• Injury of a CHRONIC nature: the cell may be able to adapt to it, resulting in a variety of cellular changes known as
ADAPTATIONS

Cellular adaptations include:
1. Atrophy - shrinkage of cells
2. Hypertrophy - increase in the size of cells which results in enlargement of the organs
3. Hyperplasia - increased number of cells in an organ or tissue
4. Metaplasia - transformation or replacement of one adult cell type with another

• The most important targets of injurious stimuli are:
(1) aerobic respiration involving mitochondrial oxidative phosphorylation and production of ATP
Result: 1- ATP depletoion 2- Mitochondrial damage
3- loss of Calcium homeostasis 4- Generation of reactive oxygen species
(2) the integrity of cell membranes, on which the ionic and osmotic homeostasis of the cell and its organelles depends
(3) the cytoskeleton (4) the integrity of the genetic apparatus of the cell (5) protein synthesis

MECHANISMS OF CELL INJURY
41
(1) DEPLETION OF ATP• ATP depletion and decreased ATP synthesis are
frequently associated with both hypoxic and chemical (toxic) injury
• Depletion of ATP to <5% to 10% of normal levels has widespread effects on many critical cellular systems:
– Plasma membrane energy-dependent sodium pump is reduced, resulting in cell swelling
– increased rate of anaerobic glycolysis, glycogen stores are rapidly depleted. Glycolysis results in the accumulation of lactic acid. This reduces the intracellular pH, resulting in decreased activity of many cellular enzymes.
– Failure of the Ca2+ pump leads to influx of Ca2+ – In cells deprived of oxygen or glucose, unfolded
protein formed, that may lead to cell injury and even death.
MECHANISMS OF CELL INJURY
42
MITOCHONDRIAL DAMAGE– Mitochondria are important targets for
virtually all types of injurious stimuli, including hypoxia and toxins.
– Cell injury is frequently accompanied by morphologic changes in mitochondria.

44
INFLUX OF INTRACELLULAR CALCIUM AND LOSS OF CALCIUM HOMEOSTASIS
• Calcium ions are important mediators of cell injury.• Cytosolic free calcium is maintained at extremely low
concentrations (<0.1 μmol) compared with extracellular levels of 1.3 mmol, and most intracellular calcium is sequestered in mitochondria and endoplasmic reticulum.
• Such gradients are modulated by membrane-associated, energy-dependent Ca2+, Mg2+-ATPases.
• Ischemia and certain toxins cause an early increase in cytosolic calcium concentration, owing to the net influx of Ca2+ across the plasma membrane and the release of Ca2+ from mitochondria and endoplasmic reticulum

FREE RADICAL MEDIATION OF CELL INJURY Generation of reactive oxygen species
Important mechanism of cell damage.Free radical are chemical species with a
single unpaired electron in an outer orbital.
This state is unstable and react with organic and inorganic chemical.

58
Cytoskeletal abnormalities
• Cytoskeletal filaments serve as anchors connecting the plasma membrane to the cell interior.
• Activation of proteases by increased cytosolic calcium may cause damage to elements of the cytoskeleton.
• This damage results, particularly in myocardial cells, in detachment of the cell membrane from the cytoskeleton, rendering it susceptible to stretching and rupture.

1. Respiratory obstruction or disease.
2. Ischemia.
3. Anaemia.
4. Alteration of hemoglobin.

• Effect of defective energy production:• Morphologic changes in reversible injury: A] Intracellular accumulation of water and
electrolytes due to failure of energy-dependent sodium pump
(cloudy swelling or hydropic changes)
HYPOXIC INJURY(Reversible)
B] Changes in organelles, swollen due to loss of osmotic regulation. C] Switch to anaerobic metabolism with production of lactic acid, reduction in intracellular pH and detachment of ribosomes from RER. D] Clumping of nuclear chromatin. These changes are reversible if oxygenation is restored.

- Dead cell are either collapsed and form a

- Cellular enzymes are released into circula-
tion. This provides important clinical

How Ionizing Radiation Kills Cells
• Proliferating Cells - by DNA damage. Leads to apoptosis.
• Nonproliferating cells- by lipid peroxidation.
80
How Viruses Kill Cells
• Directly Cytopathic Viruses – e.g. Poliovirus • Indirectly cytopathic Viruses - e.g. hepatitis B Summary of Cytopathic Viruses
• Direct cytopathic viruses insert their proteins into the plasma membranes, disrupting the cells permeability (membrane damage)
• Indirect cytopathic viruses also in insert their proteins into the plasma membrane, but to create an antigenic target for cytotoxic T lymphocytes.
81
82
How Chemicals Kill Cells :
Group I : interact directly with cellular contents to cause damage (mercury, lead and iron (toxic heavy metals) Group II: whose metabolite is toxic e.g. hepatotoxins: (Carbon tetrachloride(CCl4), acetominophen, bromobenzene)Group III: bind cytochrome P450 (the mixed function oxygenase involved in drug metabolism) Summary of Liver Necrosis by Cytotoxic Chemicals
The metabolism of hepatotoxic chemicals by mixed function oxidation (cytochrome P450) leads to irreversible cell injury. This is caused by membrane damage to the cell as a result of lipid peroxidation.
