1) You need to study for the Micro lab only the manual and
the handouts of these labs .. there's no need to have the
slides coz they're only headlines
1
Remember: Apoptosis happens to a Single cell while
necrosis is to a group of cells.
2
- The dead cells are autolysed by their enzymes.
×it is seen in the kidney, adrenals, and it's typical for the
heart myocardial infarction()الجلطة واحتشاء العضلة القلبية. Gross
appearance: very firm.
3
This picture shows a kidney with a wedge-shaped
(triangular) necrotic area. It's quite solid. Notice that
necrosis follows the pattern of blood supply. It's large
toward the periphery where the blood is less, and it's
smaller where there is better supply toward the center. So
in highly vascularized tissue, necrosis is smaller and less
spread and vice versa.
4
×In the figure :
1- part of the brain and you can see that the reddish area
which is soft (not solid like the coagulative necrosis)cavity
filled with liquids. Later on this will be replaced by gliosis
and never by fibrosis (we'll hear about it in the future)
5
× caseous necrosis is a modified coagulative necrosis, and
this small modification is caused by the lipopolysaccharide
capsule of TB bacilli.
6
× it's presented as a hard lump (mass) in the breast
or wherever, the destroyed fat related to trauma is
released and engulfed again by macrophages
producing a foreign body giant cell reaction not the
Langerhans, it's a different type of giant cell which is
called the foreign body giant cell. It engulfs the fat
and it could engulf anything, for example it may be
related to a surgical process engulfing part of sutures
or if you pricked your hand by a small piece of wood
that won't get out, your giant cells will take it (or by
macrophages which changed to giant cells ). And this
process may result in dystrophic calcification later on.
7
- left side : normal fat │ right side : saponified fat │and
in between there's the reaction with acute
inflammatory cells and fibrosis that follows
calcification.
Gangrene:
Gangrene is necrosis with putrefaction ( )تعفنbut the rest of
the organ is normal. There are two types of gangrene:
8
bacterial infection which destroys it and releases toxins all
over the body and he will die unless his leg was
amputated. And sometimes it could happen in operating
theatres (surgery room) and then the operating theatre is
closed due to the danger of infections.
× In this case the dead tissue just dry off. Again it’s a form
of coagulative necrosis, and it's usually associated with
peripheral vascular disease. Peripheral vascular disease is
related to atherosclerosis and diabetes. It's a very known
complication of diabetes. That's why diabetics always have
to protect their feet.
9
change of the color and takes a safety margin, not exactly
where the color has changed.
Dr. Samir al Basheer said there's no need to go over the book for the
gangrene subject.
Apoptosis :
10
harm to the cell (e.g. UV, trauma, infection or
whatever).These signals monitors the mitochondrial
permeability, and once this is altered, Cytochrome c which
is inside the mitochondria is released. This is called Pro-
apoptotic (it initiates apoptosis).
× Things to know :
11
-at the left side : (1) is injury of the cell like radiation,
toxins, free radicals that enter the cell and cause DNA
damage. (2) the Bcl-2 family are also activated. when that
is activated, the p53 gene, which is related to one of the
protein triggering apoptosis, is also activated. then the
pro-apoptotic molecules go to the initiator caspases (which
initiate the whole process). the extrinsic dead receptors
also trigger the initiator caspases. then both of these
signals along with the initiator caspases activates the
Executioner caspases. (3) that will cause the activation of
the breakdown of cytoskeleton, and endonucleasis , so
that they breakdown the cell.
Physiologic apoptosis
12
responses in that the T lymphocytes which becomes auto-
reactive, and they destroy the body's cells. So this is
prevented by apoptosis. another example, some
lymphocytes become lymphotoxic cells which means they
contain a lot of harmful toxins, so they must die by
apoptosis whatever the pathway is.
(4) In aging
Pathologic apoptosis
13
chemotherapy. For example, if the lower part of a male
body is exposed to radiation, the sperms generated in the
testes are affected the most and killed rapidly so the male
become finally sterile. the same thing is applied on the
bone marrow.
14
- this is the erythrophoresis for the DNA.(A) The
shortest one is the normal cell. (B) is DNA with a
step-ladder shape. (C) is a diffused DNA.
This table is taken directly from the book. Dr. Samir said it's important to
look over it plus the other table listed below..
Aging and
Cellular Death :
15
× Theories
× Mechanisms
3. Degenerative alterations
× the genetic factors are various you can see many people
of the same family live for a 100 years, while in other
families they only live around 60 years ! that's really
genetically oriented, and it may be involved in failure of
repair mechanisms. There's some genes are called "Clock
genes" which time our lives. "Telomerase" which are
present at the end of chromosomes, and when the cells
divide over and over, chromosomes become SHORTER
with each cycle! the shorter they are, the less is the life of
the cell. So, there's a continuous shortening of the
chromosomes till the cell dies.( we're going to talk about
telomerase later in the "neoplasia" chapter ).
16
present very much in uncontrolled diabetic patients and
ends up in cell death.
