Synopsis
Irreversible cellular injury – cellular death.
Clinical - anatomical forms of necrosis.
Apoptosis- programmed cell death.
![Page 3: 7](https://reader037.fdocuments.in/reader037/viewer/2022103113/554b66c9b4c90564168b4654/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
Morphology of cellular injury Subcellular alterations
Related to biochemical changes
Reversible cell injury 2 groups
Irreversible cell injury =cell death 2 types
Necrosis Apoptosis
The concequences of an pathologic factor depend on the cell type, status and adaptability of the injured cell
![Page 4: 7](https://reader037.fdocuments.in/reader037/viewer/2022103113/554b66c9b4c90564168b4654/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
Irreversible cell injury
Two types of cell death, which differ in their morphology, mechanisms, and roles in disease and physiology
necrosis “premature” or “untimely” death due to
“causes” always pathologic
ischemia, toxins, various infections, trauma.
apoptosis “normal” death
When a cell is deprived of growth factors or the cell's DNA or proteins are damagedbeyond repair, the cell kills
physiologic and pathologic
![Page 5: 7](https://reader037.fdocuments.in/reader037/viewer/2022103113/554b66c9b4c90564168b4654/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Necrosis
A local death of cells, tissues, part of an organ, and sometimes an entire organ. This term included the series of changes that
accompany cell death, largely resulting from the degradative action of enzymes on lethally injured cells.
Necrotic cells are unable to maintain membrane integrity, and their contents often leak out.
The enzymes responsible for digestion of the cell are derived either from the lysosomes of the dying cells themselves or from the lysosomes of leukocytes that are recruited as part of the inflammatory reaction to the dead cells.

Causes of necrosis
Hypoxia Ischemia Hypoxemia Loss of oxygen carrying capacity
Free radical damage Chemicals, drugs, toxins Infections Physical agents Immunologic reactions Genetic abnormalities Nutritional imbalance

Necrosis Development
Immediately Slowly - necrobiosis
Responses of the heart to different types of stress:
Ischemia incomplete occluded coronary
artery – hypoxia, reversible cell injury
complete or prolonged occlusion – cell death

Necrosis Electron microscopy
breakdown of plasma membrane and organellar membranes, marked dilation of mitochondria with the appearance of large
amorphous densities disruption of lysosomes, intracytoplasmic myelin figures Nuclear changes, culminating in nuclear dissolution.
Pyknosis (nuclear shrinkage) Karyorrhexis (nuclear memmbrane ruptured) Karyolysis (complete dissolution of of nucleus, loss of chromatin)

Clinical - anatomical forms of necrosis
Several morphologically distinct patterns of tissue necrosis, which may provide clues about the underlying cause Coagulative (parenchymal organs) Liquefactive (brain) Gangrenous (Extremities, Bowel, non-specific)
wet dry
Caseous (cheese) (Tuberculosis) Fat necrosis (pancreas, breast) Fibrinoid (Rheumatoid, non-specific) Decubitus ulcer Sequestrum
![Page 10: 7](https://reader037.fdocuments.in/reader037/viewer/2022103113/554b66c9b4c90564168b4654/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Coagulative necrosis It is a form of tissue necrosis in which the
component cells are dead but the basic tissue architecture is preserved for at least several days
Dry necrosis - tissues rich in proteins, less water Denaturation and coagulations of proteins due to inactivation
of enzymes Characteristic of infarcts (areas of ischemic necrosis) in all solid organs except the brain
Heart Ren spleen
![Page 11: 7](https://reader037.fdocuments.in/reader037/viewer/2022103113/554b66c9b4c90564168b4654/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Coagulative necrosis
Macroscopy Necrotic areas –
whitish, firm, protruding above surrounding tissue
Microscopy The necrotic cells -
eosinophilia Shadows of structures
Ren -glomerules, tubules

Necrosis pulmonis (Bronchopneumonia tbc
caseosa)
![Page 16: 7](https://reader037.fdocuments.in/reader037/viewer/2022103113/554b66c9b4c90564168b4654/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)

![Page 17: 7](https://reader037.fdocuments.in/reader037/viewer/2022103113/554b66c9b4c90564168b4654/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Liquefactive necrosis = Necrotic degradation of
tissue that softens and becomes liquified
Mechanisms Lysosomal enzymes released by
necrotic cells or neutrophils cause liquefaction of tissue
Pseudocysts, containing liquid. Brain
CNS infarction Autocatalytic effect of hydrolytic
enzymes generated by neuroglial cells produces a cystic space
Abscess in a bacterial infection Hydrolytic enzymes generated by
neutrophils liquefy dead tissue.

Gangrenous necrosis Necrosis of tissues in contact
with outside environment It is not a distinctive pattern of
cell death, but the term is still commonly used in clinical practice
generally the lower leg - ishemia Dry gangrene
Macroscopy – grey -black colour Wet gangrene
When bacterial infection is superimposed - liquefactive action of the bacteria and the attracted leukocytes
Durty green colour, smell Noma
wet gangrene of lips and cheeks in exhausted children

Fat necrosis Pancreas - in acute pancreatitis
Activation of pancreatic lipase causing hydrolysis of triglyceride in fat cells
And conversion of fatty acids into soap (saponification)
Combination of fatty acids and calcium
Gross appearance Chalky yellow-white deposits in
peripancreatic and omental adipose tissue
Microscopy Pale outlines of fat cells filled
with basophilic-staining calcified areas
Traumatic fat necrosis Occurs in fatty tissue (e.g.,
female breast tissue) as a result of trauma
Not enzyme-mediated
![Page 21: 7](https://reader037.fdocuments.in/reader037/viewer/2022103113/554b66c9b4c90564168b4654/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Fibrinoid necrosis It is a special form of
necrosis limited to small muscular arteries, arterioles, venules, and glomerular capillaries In connective tissue
diseases Immune vasculitis (e.g.,
polyarteritis nodosa ) malignant hypertension
![Page 22: 7](https://reader037.fdocuments.in/reader037/viewer/2022103113/554b66c9b4c90564168b4654/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Decubitus ulcer
=pressure sore Decumbere means "to lie
down" Results from the prolong
pressure, that cuts off the blood supply to the skin, causing the skin and other tissue to die
Older people -70 y, hea Severe illness (people who
cannot move themselves) Back, knees, elbows, ankles
![Page 23: 7](https://reader037.fdocuments.in/reader037/viewer/2022103113/554b66c9b4c90564168b4654/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Sequestrum A fragment of dead
tissue, that has separated from healthy tissue as a result of injury or disease Bone – osteomyelitis lung
![Page 24: 7](https://reader037.fdocuments.in/reader037/viewer/2022103113/554b66c9b4c90564168b4654/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Outcome of necrosis
Irreversible injury Inflammation – line of demarcation Phagocytosis – neutrophils (enzymes) Organisation
Granulation tissue cicatrix (connective tissue), calcification
liquefactive necrosis (brain) – pseudocyst (glial capsule)
![Page 25: 7](https://reader037.fdocuments.in/reader037/viewer/2022103113/554b66c9b4c90564168b4654/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Enzyme markers of cell death
Tissues release certain enzymes that indicate the type of tissue involved and extent of injury. Aspartate aminotransferase (AST), Alanine
aminotransferase (ALT)- – markers of diffuse liver cell necrosis (e.g., viral hepatitis)
Creatine kinase MB (CK-MB) - isoenzyme increased in acute myocardial infarction or myocarditis
Amylase and lipase - marker enzymes for acute pancreatitis
![Page 26: 7](https://reader037.fdocuments.in/reader037/viewer/2022103113/554b66c9b4c90564168b4654/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
APOPTOSIS A cell death that is induced by a tightly regulated
suicide program When a cell is deprived of growth factors or the cell's DNA or proteins are damaged beyond repair
Kerr and Wyllie, 1972 "falling off“ (fragments of the apoptotic cells break off)
Apoptosis is an active enzymatic process in which nucleoproteins are broken down and then the cell is fragmented
caspases mitochondrial pathway - most often the death receptor pathway - cytotoxic T lymphocytes
![Page 27: 7](https://reader037.fdocuments.in/reader037/viewer/2022103113/554b66c9b4c90564168b4654/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Microscopic appearance of apoptosis
Cell detachment from neighboring cells
Deeply eosinophilic-staining cytoplasm
Pyknotic, fragmented, or absent nucleus-apoptotic bodies
No inflammatory infiltrate surrounding the cell
![Page 28: 7](https://reader037.fdocuments.in/reader037/viewer/2022103113/554b66c9b4c90564168b4654/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Features of Necrosis and Apoptosis
Feature Necrosis Apoptosis
Cell size Enlarged (swelling)
Reduced (shrinkage)
Nucleus Pyknosis → karyorrhexis → karyolysis
Fragmentation into nucleosome-size fragments
Plasmamembrane
Disrupted Intact; altered structure
Cellular contents
Enzymatic digestion; mayleak out of cell
Intact; may be released in apoptotic bodies
Adjacent inflammation
Frequent No
Physiologic/ Pathologicrole
Invariablypathologic
Often physiologic, may be pathologic after someforms of cell injury (DNA damage)
![Page 29: 7](https://reader037.fdocuments.in/reader037/viewer/2022103113/554b66c9b4c90564168b4654/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
APOPTOSIS
Normal (preprogrammed) serves to eliminate potentially
harmful cells and cells that have outlived their usefulness
Pathologic (associated with necrosis) when cells are damaged beyond
repair, especially when the damage affects the cell's DNA or proteins
![Page 30: 7](https://reader037.fdocuments.in/reader037/viewer/2022103113/554b66c9b4c90564168b4654/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
“NORMAL” APOPTOSIS
Embryogenesis implantation, organogenesis, developmental involution,
metamorphosis Hormonal “Involution”
such as endometrial cell breakdown during the menstrual cycle, and regression of the lactating breast
Cell loss in proliferating cell populations such as intestinal crypt epithelia, -to maintain a constant number
Post Inflammatory “Clean-up” neutrophils in an acute inflammatory response, and lymphocytes
at the end of an immune response Elimination of potentially harmful self-reactive
lymphocytes in order to prevent reactions against one's own tissues
Cytotoxic T-Cells cleaning up corticosteroid destruction of lymphocytes
![Page 31: 7](https://reader037.fdocuments.in/reader037/viewer/2022103113/554b66c9b4c90564168b4654/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
“PATHOLOGIC” APOPTOSIS
“Toxic” effect on cells, e.g., chemicals, pathogens Radiation, cytotoxic anticancer drugs, extremes of
temperature, and even hypoxia damage DNA - directly or via production of free radicals.
After duct obstruction Pathologic atrophy - in the pancreas, parotid gland, and
kidney Cell injury in certain infections
particularly viral infections, in which loss of infected cells is largely due to apoptotic death
Tumors – delayed apoptosis, slow cell death Anti-tumor therapy
