Mechanisms of Cell Injury General Biochemical Mechanisms
Cell injury results from functional and biochemical abnormalities in one or more of several essential cellular components. The most important targets of injurious stimuli are (1) mitochondria, the sites of ATP generation; (2) cell membranes, on which the ionic and osmotic homeostasis of the cell and its organelles depends; (3) protein synthesis;
(4) the cytoskeleton; and (5) the genetic apparatus of the cell.
11
Mechanisms of Cell Injury ATP Depletion
Depletion of ATP to less than 5% to 10% of normal levels has widespread effects on many critical cellular systems 12
Mechanisms of Cell Injury Oxygen in Cell Injury
The critical role of oxygen in cell injury Ischemia causes cell injury by reducing cellular oxygen supplies,
whereas other stimuli, such as radiation, induce damage by toxic activated oxygen species

Mechanisms of Cell Injury Defects in Membrane Permeability
The most important sites of membrane damage during cell injury are the mitochondrial membrane, the plasma membrane, and membranes of lysosomes. 16
Ischemic and Hypoxic Injury
Ischemia is the most common cause of cell injury in clinical medicine
Ischemia injures tissues faster than does hypoxia !
Why?
Anaerobic glycolysis (less efficient)
Anaerobic glycolysis No delivery of substrates
If oxygen is restored, all of these disturbances are reversible. If ischemia persists, irreversible injury and necrosis ensue.

Chemical Injury
Some chemicals act directly • Mercuric chloride poisoning • Antineoplastic chemotherapeutic agents
Other chemicals must be first converted to reactive toxic metabolites • Carbon tetrachloride CCl4 CCl3
• Liver toxicity "fatty liver“ within 2 hours!
• Acetaminophen overdose Acute liver failure
Direct binding to critical molecular component or cellular organelle
