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

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.

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

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.

How Ionizing Radiation Kills Cells
• Proliferating Cells - by DNA damage. Leads to apoptosis.
• Nonproliferating cells- by lipid peroxidation.

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.

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.
