Q

Sterile Inflammation and DAMPs

A

Sterile Inflammation is induced by Intrinsic DAMAGE- ASSOCIATED MOLECULER PATTERNS (DAMPs):
- Released from dying Parenchymal Cells

  • Generated during Extracellular Matrix remodeling
  • Kidney cells express a subset of TOLL-LIKE RECEPTORS (TLRs)
  • Cells can respond to DAMPs and induce INNATE IMMUNE RESPONSES and subsequent RENAL INFLAMMATION

DAMPs:

1) HMGB1 (Nucleolus)
2) Uric Acid
3) HSPs (Exosomes)—> Renal Tubular Cells
4) HYALURONANS in ECM
5) S100 PROTEIN (Cytoplasm)

  • **DAMPs cause COMPLEMENT ACTIVATION!!!!!!!!
  • CRP helps activate them

Q

Ischemia Repercussion Induced TLR-4 Expression in Kidney

A

1) HMGB-1 ECM Components HSPs
2) TLR-4

3) NF-kB!!!!!!! (MyD 88 Dependent/ Independent Pathway)
- major Transcription Factor in promotion for Inflammatory Response

***TLR-4 activation leads to Increased Productions of Proinflammatory Cytokines and Adhesion Molecules, which elicits a strong Inflammatory Response in RENAL TISSUE

  • **Ischmia Repercussion Injury
  • This exacerbates the Kidney Damage already initiated during the Ischemic Phase through MASSIVE LEUKOCYTE INFILTRATION and Cytotoxicities!!!

17
Q

A
  • Graft changed between members of DIFFERENT species
18
Q

A

1) The condition of the Allograft
2) Donor-Host Antigenic Disparity
3) Strength of Host Anti-Donor Disparity
4) Immunosuppressive Regimen

19

3) Cytokines recruit and activate Immune Cells
4) Development of specific T Cells, NK Cells, or Macrophages (MEDIATED CYTOTOXICITY)

20
Q

ABO matching is not Important for:

A

1) Corneal Transplantation
2) Heart Valve Transplantation
3) Bone and Tendon Grafts

21
Q

Blood Group Antigens (ABO)

A

Group AB:

  • No Abs Present
  • A and B Ags Present

Group O:

  • Anti A and B Abs Present
  • No Ags Present

**Abs + Complement = MAC

22
Q

HLA: Matching Donor and Recipient

A
  • The success of Transplantation is dependent on Matching of the MHC Ags
  • These Ags are encoded by the Major Histocompatibility Complex, MHC Class I and Class II
  • In humans, the MHC is termed the Human Leukocyte Antigen Complex, HLA COMPLEX
  • HLA COMPATABILITY between Donor and Recipient is REQUIRED due to the EXTREME POLYMORPHISM of HLA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
23
Q

HLA System

A
  • Each individual inherits only 10 to 12 alleles/ person
  • HLA Ags are CO-DOMINANTLY EXPRESSED
  • The CLASS I HLA Ags (HLA-A and HLA-B) are particularly STRONG BARRIERS to TRANSPLANTATION
  • There are thee Most IMPORTANT for transplantation pairs of the CLASS I HLA Ags (HLA-DR, HLA-DP, HLA-DQ) —> Only present on Professional APC

**Lymphocytes LYSIS can be detected by STAINING the CELLS with Acridine Orange, Ethidium Bromide or HEMOTAXIN Stain!!!

24
Q

Microcytotoxicity Test (Class I MHC)

A

1) Add Abs
2) Add Complement to for MAC
3) Add Dye

***If dye accumulates on the Donor Cell and Recipient Cell then the HLA Ags are IDENTICAL!!!!

***If dye accumulates on the Donor Cell but NOT on the Recipient Cell then the HLA Ags are NOT IDENTICAL!!!!

Normally:
- Usually this test is done on a Panel where multiple HLA Ags can be matched. The Mismatches are just as important as the Matches are

25
Q

Microcytotocicity Test for PREFORMED Abs

A

1) Add Patient Serum
2) Add Complement
3) Add Dye

***If Dye accumulates in the Cell then there are PREFORMED Abs PRESENT!!!!

26
Q

Mixed Lymphocyte Response (Class II HLA Typing)

A

1) Add Radiation that is supposed to prevent PROLIFERATION is the Class II MHC are Identical
2) Add Recipient Cells
3) Add H3 Thymidine

***If there is Activation and Proliferation of Recipient cells then the Recipient cells do NOT SHADE Class II MHC of Donor (High Radioactivity Present)

***If there is No Proliferation, and a LOW Amount of Radioactivity, then there is a Class II Match!!!!

27
Q

Host vs Graft Response

A
  • The Immune System attack the DONOR Tissue

0 ADAPTIVE IMMUNE RESPONSE against a Graft

  • This is due to a HIGHER FREQUENCY of T Cells that recognize the Graft as Foreign:
    a) Immunized individuals has
28
Q

Direct vs Indirect Allorecognition

A

Direct:
- T Cell recognizes UNPROCESSED Allogenic MHC Molecules on Graft APCs

Indirect:
- T Cell recognizes PROCESSED peptides on Allogeneic MHC Molecule bound to Self MHC Molecule on Host APC

29
Q

Host vs Graft Response

A
  • Up to 2% of the HOST T CELLS are capable of recognizing and responding to sing FOREIGN MHC
  • NON IMMUNE INJURY of the GRAFT (Danger Signals) activates Endothelial Cells,a dn T Cells enter the Allograft

Effector Mechanisms of Graft Rejection:

1) HUMORAL:
- TH2 (IL4, IL5, IL10)

2) CELLULAR:
- TH1 (IL2, IFN Gamma)

30
Q

Hyperacute Rejection

A
  • Takes Minutes to Hours

- Performed Antidonor Abs and Complement

31
Q

Accelerated Rejection

A
  • Takes Days
  • Reactivation of Sensitized T Cells
  • Complement activation, Endothelial Damage, Inflammation, and Thrombosis
32
Q

Acute Rejection

A
  • Takes Days to Weeks
  • Primary activation of T Cells
  • Activation of CD8+ cells or Abs
33
Q

Chronic Rejection

A
  • Takes Months to Years
  • Both Immunologic and Nonimmunologic Factors
  • Results in OCCLUSION (Ischemia)
34
Q

Mechanism of Rejections

A

1) Hyperacute = HUMORAL
2) Accelerated = HUMORAL

3a) Acute Cellular = CELLULAR (Th1)
3b) Acute Vascular = HUMORAL (Th2)

4) Chronic = HUMORAL

35
Q

Graft vs Host Disease

A
  • Occurs in IMMUNOCOMPROMISED Recipients because their immune system is UNABEL TO REJECT THE ALLOGENEIC CELLS IN THE GRAFT!!!!!
  • Often occurs when transplants are Small Bowel, Lung, or Liver

Acute GVHD: Epithelial Cell Death in Skin, Liver, and GI

Chronic GVHD: Fibrosis and Atrophy of Affected Organs

***Donor APCs can activate Donor CD8+ T Cells by Cross-Presenting recipient Ags on MHC Class I Molecules
