Inflammation

Inflammation(fromLatin:inflammatio) is part of the biological response of body tissues to harmful stimuli, such aspathogens,damaged cells, orirritants.[1][2]The fivecardinal signsare heat, pain, redness, swelling, andloss of function(Latincalor,dolor,rubor,tumor,andfunctio laesa).

Inflammation is a generic response, and therefore is considered a mechanism ofinnate immunity,whereasadaptive immunityis specific to each pathogen.[3]

Inflammation is a protective response involvingimmune cells,blood vessels,and molecular mediators. The function of inflammation is to eliminate the initial cause of cell injury, clear out damaged cells and tissues, and initiate tissue repair. Too little inflammation could lead to progressive tissue destruction by the harmful stimulus (e.g. bacteria) and compromise the survival of the organism. However inflammation can also have negative effects.[4]Too much inflammation, in the form of chronic inflammation, is associated with various diseases, such ashay fever,periodontal disease,atherosclerosis,andosteoarthritis.

Inflammation can be classified asacuteorchronic.Acute inflammation is the initial response of the body to harmful stimuli, and is achieved by the increased movement ofplasmaandleukocytes(in particulargranulocytes) from the blood into the injured tissues. A series of biochemical events propagates and matures the inflammatory response, involving the localvascular system,theimmune system,and various cells in the injured tissue. Prolonged inflammation, known aschronic inflammation,leads to a progressive shift in the type of cells present at the site of inflammation, such asmononuclear cells,and involves simultaneous destruction andhealingof the tissue.

Inflammation has also been classified as Type 1 and Type 2 based on the type ofcytokinesandhelper T cells(Th1 and Th2) involved.[5]

Meaning

edit

The earliest known reference for the term inflammation is around the early 15th century. The word root comes fromOld Frenchinflammationaround the 14th century, which then comes fromLatininflammatioorinflammationem.Literally, the term relates to the word "flame", as the property of being "set on fire" or "to burn".[6]

The terminflammationis not a synonym forinfection.Infectiondescribes the interaction between the action of microbial invasion and the reaction of the body's inflammatory response—the two components are considered together in discussion of infection, and the word is used to imply a microbial invasive cause for the observed inflammatory reaction.Inflammation,on the other hand, describes just the body's immunovascular response, regardless of cause. But, because of the two are oftencorrelated,words ending in the suffix-itis(which means inflammation) are sometimes informally described as referring to infection: for example, the wordurethritisstrictly means only "urethral inflammation", but clinicalhealth care providersusually discuss urethritis as a urethral infection because urethral microbial invasion is the most common cause of urethritis. However, the inflammation–infection distinction is crucial in situations inpathologyandmedical diagnosisthat involve inflammation that is not driven by microbial invasion, such as cases ofatherosclerosis,trauma,ischemia,andautoimmune diseases(includingtype III hypersensitivity).

Acute

edit

Acute inflammation is a short-term process, usually appearing within a few minutes or hours and begins to cease upon the removal of the injurious stimulus.[10]It involves a coordinated and systemic mobilization response locally of various immune, endocrine and neurological mediators of acute inflammation. In a normal healthy response, it becomes activated, clears the pathogen and begins a repair process and then ceases.[11]

Acute inflammation occurs immediately upon injury, lasting only a few days.[12]Cytokinesandchemokinespromote the migration ofneutrophilsandmacrophagesto the site of inflammation.[12]Pathogens, allergens, toxins, burns, and frostbite are some of the typical causes of acute inflammation.[12]Toll-like receptors(TLRs) recognize microbial pathogens.[12]Acute inflammation can be a defensive mechanism to protect tissues against injury.[12]Inflammation lasting 2–6 weeks is designated subacute inflammation.[12][13]

Cardinal signs

edit
The classic signs and symptoms of acute inflammation:[a]
English Latin
Redness Rubor
Swelling Tumor
Heat Calor
Pain Dolor
Loss of function Functio laesa[b]

Inflammation is characterized by fivecardinal signs,[16][17](the traditional names of which come from Latin):

The first four (classical signs) were described byCelsus(c. 30 BC–38 AD).[19]

Painis due to the release of chemicals such as bradykinin and histamine that stimulate nerve endings.[16](Acute inflammation of the lung (usually as in response topneumonia) does not cause pain unless the inflammation involves theparietal pleura,which does havepain-sensitive nerve endings.[16]) Heat and redness are due to increased blood flow at body core temperature to the inflamed site. Swelling is caused by accumulation of fluid.

Loss of function
edit

The fifth sign,loss of function,is believed to have been added later byGalen,[20]Thomas Sydenham[21]orRudolf Virchow.[10][16][17]Examples of loss of function include pain that inhibits mobility, severe swelling that prevents movement, having a worse sense of smell during a cold, or having difficulty breathing when bronchitis is present.[22][23]Loss of function has multiple causes.[16]

Acute process

edit

The process of acute inflammation is initiated by resident immune cells already present in the involved tissue, mainly residentmacrophages,dendritic cells,histiocytes,Kupffer cellsandmast cells.These cells possess surface receptors known aspattern recognition receptors(PRRs), which recognize (i.e., bind) two subclasses of molecules:pathogen-associated molecular patterns(PAMPs) anddamage-associated molecular patterns(DAMPs). PAMPs are compounds that are associated with variouspathogens,but which are distinguishable from host molecules. DAMPs are compounds that are associated with host-related injury and cell damage.

At the onset of an infection, burn, or other injuries, these cells undergo activation (one of the PRRs recognize a PAMP or DAMP) and release inflammatory mediators responsible for the clinical signs of inflammation. Vasodilation and its resulting increased blood flow causes the redness (rubor) and increased heat (calor). Increased permeability of the blood vessels results in an exudation (leakage) ofplasmaproteins and fluid into the tissue (edema), which manifests itself as swelling (tumor). Some of the released mediators such asbradykininincrease the sensitivity to pain (hyperalgesia,dolor). The mediator molecules also alter the blood vessels to permit the migration of leukocytes, mainlyneutrophilsandmacrophages,to flow out of the blood vessels (extravasation) and into the tissue. The neutrophils migrate along achemotacticgradient created by the local cells to reach the site of injury.[10]The loss of function (functio laesa) is probably the result of a neurological reflex in response to pain.

In addition to cell-derived mediators, several acellular biochemical cascade systems—consisting of preformed plasma proteins—act in parallel to initiate and propagate the inflammatory response. These include thecomplement systemactivated by bacteria and thecoagulationandfibrinolysis systemsactivated bynecrosis(e.g., burn, trauma).[10]

Acute inflammation may be regarded as the first line of defense against injury. Acute inflammatory response requires constant stimulation to be sustained. Inflammatory mediators are short-lived and are quickly degraded in the tissue. Hence, acute inflammation begins to cease once the stimulus has been removed.[10]

Chronic

edit
Main article:Chronic inflammation

Chronic inflammation is inflammation that lasts for months or years.[13]Macrophages,lymphocytes,andplasma cellspredominate in chronic inflammation, in contrast to the neutrophils that predominate in acute inflammation.[13]Diabetes,cardiovascular disease,allergies,andchronic obstructive pulmonary disease(COPD) are examples of diseases mediated by chronic inflammation.[13]Obesity,smoking, stress and insufficient diet are some of the factors that promote chronic inflammation.[13]A 2014 study reported that 60% of Americans had at least one chronic inflammatory condition, and 42% had more than one.[13]

Cardinal signs

edit

Common signs and symptoms that develop during chronic inflammation are:[13]

  • Body pain, arthralgia, myalgia
  • Chronic fatigue and insomnia
  • Depression, anxiety and mood disorders
  • Gastrointestinal complications such as constipation, diarrhea, and acid reflux
  • Weight gain or loss
  • Frequent infections

Vascular component

edit

Vasodilation and increased permeability

edit

As defined, acute inflammation is an immunovascular response to inflammatory stimuli, which can include infection or trauma.[25][26]This means acute inflammation can be broadly divided into a vascular phase that occurs first, followed by a cellular phase involving immune cells (more specifically myeloidgranulocytesin the acute setting).[25]The vascular component of acute inflammation involves the movement ofplasma fluid,containing importantproteinssuch asfibrinandimmunoglobulins(antibodies), into inflamed tissue.

Upon contact with PAMPs, tissuemacrophagesandmastocytesrelease vasoactive amines such ashistamineandserotonin,as well aseicosanoidssuch asprostaglandin E2andleukotriene B4to remodel the local vasculature.[27]Macrophages and endothelial cells releasenitric oxide.[28]These mediators vasodilate and permeabilize theblood vessels,which results in the net distribution ofblood plasmafrom the vessel into the tissue space. The increased collection of fluid into the tissue causes it to swell (edema).[27]This exuded tissue fluid contains various antimicrobial mediators from the plasma such ascomplement,lysozyme,antibodies,which can immediately deal damage to microbes, and opsonise the microbes in preparation for the cellular phase. If the inflammatory stimulus is a lacerating wound, exudedplatelets,coagulants,plasminandkininscanclotthe wounded area using vitamin K-dependent mechanisms[29]and providehaemostasisin the first instance. These clotting mediators also provide a structural staging framework at the inflammatory tissue site in the form of afibrinlattice – as would constructionscaffoldingat a construction site – for the purpose of aiding phagocytic debridement andwound repairlater on. Some of the exuded tissue fluid is also funneled bylymphaticsto the regional lymph nodes, flushing bacteria along to start the recognition and attack phase of theadaptive immune system.

Infectedingrown toenailshowing the characteristic redness and swelling associated with acute inflammation

Acute inflammation is characterized by marked vascular changes, includingvasodilation,increased permeability and increased blood flow, which are induced by the actions of various inflammatory mediators.[27]Vasodilation occurs first at thearteriolelevel, progressing to thecapillarylevel, and brings about a net increase in the amount of blood present, causing the redness and heat of inflammation. Increased permeability of the vessels results in the movement ofplasmainto the tissues, with resultantstasisdue to the increase in the concentration of the cells within blood – a condition characterized by enlarged vessels packed with cells. Stasis allowsleukocytesto marginate (move) along theendothelium,a process critical to their recruitment into the tissues. Normal flowing blood prevents this, as theshearing forcealong the periphery of the vessels moves cells in the blood into the middle of the vessel.

Cellular component

edit

Thecellular componentinvolvesleukocytes,which normally reside in blood and must move into the inflamed tissue viaextravasationto aid in inflammation.[25]Some act asphagocytes,ingesting bacteria, viruses, and cellular debris. Others release enzymaticgranulesthat damage pathogenic invaders. Leukocytes also release inflammatory mediators that develop and maintain the inflammatory response. In general, acute inflammation is mediated bygranulocytes,whereas chronic inflammation is mediated by mononuclear cells such asmonocytesandlymphocytes.

Leukocyte extravasation

edit
Neutrophils migrate from blood vessels to the infected tissue via chemotaxis, where they remove pathogens through phagocytosis and degranulation
Inflammation is a process by which the body's white blood cells and substances they produce protect us from infection with foreign organisms, such as bacteria and viruses. The (phagocytes) white blood cells are a nonspecific immune response, meaning that they attack any foreign bodies. However, in some diseases, like arthritis, the body's defense system the immune system triggers an inflammatory response when there are no foreign invaders to fight off. In these diseases, called autoimmune diseases, the body's normally protective immune system causes damage to its own tissues. The body responds as if normal tissues are infected or somehow abnormal.
Main article:Leukocyte extravasation

Variousleukocytes,particularly neutrophils, are critically involved in the initiation and maintenance of inflammation. These cells must be able to move to the site of injury from their usual location in the blood, therefore mechanisms exist to recruit and direct leukocytes to the appropriate place. The process of leukocyte movement from the blood to the tissues through the blood vessels is known asextravasationand can be broadly divided up into a number of steps:

  1. Leukocyte margination and endothelial adhesion:The white blood cells within the vessels which are generally centrally located move peripherally towards the walls of the vessels.[30]Activated macrophages in the tissue releasecytokinessuch asIL-1andTNFα,which in turn leads to production ofchemokinesthat bind toproteoglycansforming gradient in the inflamed tissue and along theendothelialwall.[27]Inflammatory cytokines induce the immediate expression ofP-selectinon endothelial cell surfaces and P-selectin binds weakly to carbohydrate ligands on the surface of leukocytes and causes them to "roll" along the endothelial surface as bonds are made and broken. Cytokines released from injured cells induce the expression ofE-selectinon endothelial cells, which functions similarly to P-selectin. Cytokines also induce the expression ofintegrinligands such asICAM-1andVCAM-1on endothelial cells, which mediate the adhesion and further slow leukocytes down. These weakly bound leukocytes are free to detach if not activated by chemokines produced in injured tissue aftersignal transductionvia respectiveG protein-coupled receptorsthat activates integrins on the leukocyte surface for firm adhesion. Such activation increases the affinity of bound integrin receptors for ICAM-1 and VCAM-1 on the endothelial cell surface, firmly binding the leukocytes to the endothelium.
  2. Migration across the endothelium, known astransmigration,via the process ofdiapedesis:Chemokine gradients stimulate the adhered leukocytes to move between adjacent endothelial cells. The endothelial cells retract and the leukocytes pass through the basement membrane into the surrounding tissue using adhesion molecules such as ICAM-1.[30]
  3. Movement of leukocytes within the tissue viachemotaxis:Leukocytes reaching the tissue interstitium bind toextracellular matrixproteins via expressed integrins andCD44to prevent them from leaving the site. A variety of molecules behave aschemoattractants,for example, C3a or C5a (theanaphylatoxins), and cause the leukocytes to move along a chemotactic gradient towards the source of inflammation.

Phagocytosis

edit
Main article:Phagocyte

Extravasated neutrophils in the cellular phase come into contact with microbes at the inflamed tissue.Phagocytesexpress cell-surface endocyticpattern recognition receptors(PRRs) that have affinity and efficacy against non-specificmicrobe-associated molecular patterns(PAMPs). Most PAMPs that bind to endocytic PRRs and initiatephagocytosisare cell wall components, including complex carbohydrates such asmannansand β-glucans,lipopolysaccharides(LPS),peptidoglycans,and surface proteins. Endocytic PRRs on phagocytes reflect these molecular patterns, withC-type lectinreceptors binding to mannans and β-glucans, andscavenger receptorsbinding to LPS.

Upon endocytic PRR binding,actin-myosincytoskeletalrearrangement adjacent to the plasma membrane occurs in a way thatendocytosesthe plasma membrane containing the PRR-PAMP complex, and the microbe.PhosphatidylinositolandVps34-Vps15-Beclin1signalling pathways have been implicated to traffic the endocytosed phagosome to intracellularlysosomes,where fusion of the phagosome and the lysosome produces a phagolysosome. Thereactive oxygen species,superoxidesandhypochloritebleach within the phagolysosomes then kill microbes inside the phagocyte.

Phagocytic efficacy can be enhanced byopsonization.Plasma derived complementC3band antibodies that exude into the inflamed tissue during the vascular phase bind to and coat the microbial antigens. As well as endocytic PRRs, phagocytes also expressopsoninreceptorsFc receptorandcomplement receptor 1(CR1), which bind to antibodies and C3b, respectively. The co-stimulation of endocytic PRR and opsonin receptor increases the efficacy of the phagocytic process, enhancing thelysosomalelimination of the infective agent.

Morphologic patterns

edit

Specific patterns of acute and chronic inflammation are seen during particular situations that arise in the body, such as when inflammation occurs on anepithelialsurface, orpyogenicbacteria are involved.

  • Granulomatous inflammation:Characterised by the formation ofgranulomas,they are the result of a limited but diverse number of diseases, which include among otherstuberculosis,leprosy,sarcoidosis,andsyphilis.
  • Fibrinous inflammation:Inflammation resulting in a large increase in vascular permeability allowsfibrinto pass through the blood vessels. If an appropriateprocoagulativestimulus is present, such as cancer cells,[10]a fibrinous exudate is deposited. This is commonly seen inserous cavities,where the conversion of fibrinous exudate into a scar can occur between serous membranes, limiting their function. The deposit sometimes forms a pseudomembrane sheet. During inflammation of the intestine (pseudomembranous colitis), pseudomembranous tubes can be formed.
  • Purulent inflammation:Inflammation resulting in large amount ofpus,which consists of neutrophils, dead cells, and fluid. Infection by pyogenic bacteria such asstaphylococciis characteristic of this kind of inflammation. Large, localised collections of pus enclosed by surrounding tissues are calledabscesses.
  • Serous inflammation:Characterised by the copious effusion of non-viscous serous fluid, commonly produced bymesothelialcells ofserous membranes,but may be derived from blood plasma. Skinblistersexemplify this pattern of inflammation.
  • Ulcerative inflammation:Inflammation occurring near an epithelium can result in thenecroticloss of tissue from the surface, exposing lower layers. The subsequent excavation in the epithelium is known as anulcer.

Disorders

edit
Asthma is considered an inflammatory-mediated disorder. On the right is an inflamed airway due to asthma.
Colitis (inflammation of the colon) caused byCrohn's disease.

Inflammatory abnormalities are a large group of disorders that underlie a vast variety of human diseases. The immune system is often involved with inflammatory disorders, as demonstrated in bothallergic reactionsand somemyopathies,with manyimmune system disordersresulting in abnormal inflammation. Non-immune diseases with causal origins in inflammatory processes include cancer,atherosclerosis,andischemic heart disease.[10]

Examples of disorders associated with inflammation include:

Atherosclerosis

edit
Main article:Atherosclerosis

Atherosclerosis, formerly considered a bland lipid storage disease, actually involves an ongoing inflammatory response. Recent advances in basic science have established a fundamental role for inflammation in mediating all stages of atherosclerosis from initiation through progression and, ultimately, the thrombotic complications from it. These new findings provide important links between risk factors and the mechanisms ofatherogenesis.Clinical studies have shown that this emerging biology of inflammation in atherosclerosis applies directly to human patients. Elevation in markers of inflammation predicts outcomes of patients with acute coronary syndromes, independently of myocardial damage. In addition, low-grade chronic inflammation, as indicated by levels of the inflammatory markerC-reactive protein,prospectively defines risk of atherosclerotic complications, thus adding to prognostic information provided by traditional risk factors. Moreover, certain treatments that reduce coronary risk also limit inflammation. In the case of lipid lowering with statins, the anti-inflammatory effect does not appear to correlate with reduction in low-density lipoprotein levels. These new insights on inflammation contribute to the etiology of atherosclerosis, and the practical clinical applications in risk stratification and the targeting of therapy for atherosclerosis.[34]

Allergy

edit

An allergic reaction, formally known astype 1 hypersensitivity,is the result of an inappropriate immune response triggering inflammation, vasodilation, and nerve irritation. A common example ishay fever,which is caused by a hypersensitive response bymast cellstoallergens.Pre-sensitised mast cells respond bydegranulating,releasingvasoactivechemicals such as histamine. These chemicals propagate an excessive inflammatory response characterised by blood vessel dilation, production of pro-inflammatory molecules, cytokine release, and recruitment of leukocytes.[10]Severe inflammatory response may mature into a systemic response known asanaphylaxis.

Myopathies

edit

Inflammatory myopathiesare caused by the immune system inappropriately attacking components of muscle, leading to signs of muscle inflammation. They may occur in conjunction with other immune disorders, such assystemic sclerosis,and includedermatomyositis,polymyositis,andinclusion body myositis.[10]

Leukocyte defects

edit

Due to the central role of leukocytes in the development and propagation of inflammation, defects in leukocyte functionality often result in a decreased capacity for inflammatory defense with subsequent vulnerability to infection.[10]Dysfunctional leukocytes may be unable to correctly bind to blood vessels due to surface receptor mutations, digest bacteria (Chédiak–Higashi syndrome), or producemicrobicides(chronic granulomatous disease). In addition, diseases affecting thebone marrowmay result in abnormal or few leukocytes.

Pharmacological

edit

Certain drugs or exogenous chemical compounds are known to affect inflammation.Vitamin Adeficiency, for example, causes an increase in inflammatory responses,[35]andanti-inflammatorydrugs work specifically by inhibiting the enzymes that produce inflammatoryeicosanoids.Additionally, certain illicit drugs such ascocaineandecstasymay exert some of their detrimental effects by activating transcription factors intimately involved with inflammation (e.g.NF-κB).[36][37]

Cancer

edit

Inflammation orchestrates themicroenvironmentaround tumours, contributing to proliferation, survival and migration.[38]Cancer cells useselectins,chemokinesand their receptors for invasion, migration and metastasis.[39]On the other hand, many cells of the immune system contribute tocancer immunology,suppressing cancer.[40] Molecular intersection between receptors of steroid hormones, which have important effects on cellular development, and transcription factors that play key roles in inflammation, such asNF-κB,may mediate some of the most critical effects of inflammatory stimuli on cancer cells.[41]This capacity of a mediator of inflammation to influence the effects of steroid hormones in cells is very likely to affect carcinogenesis. On the other hand, due to the modular nature of many steroid hormone receptors, this interaction may offer ways to interfere with cancer progression, through targeting of a specific protein domain in a specific cell type. Such an approach may limit side effects that are unrelated to the tumor of interest, and may help preserve vital homeostatic functions and developmental processes in the organism.

According to a review of 2009, recent data suggests that cancer-related inflammation (CRI) may lead to accumulation of random genetic alterations in cancer cells.[42]

Role in cancer

edit

In 1863,Rudolf Virchowhypothesized that the origin of cancer was at sites of chronic inflammation.[39][43]As of 2012, chronic inflammation was estimated to contribute to approximately 15% to 25% of human cancers.[43][44]

Mediators and DNA damage in cancer

edit

An inflammatory mediator is a messenger that acts on blood vessels and/or cells to promote an inflammatory response.[45]Inflammatory mediators that contribute to neoplasia includeprostaglandins,inflammatorycytokinessuch asIL-1β,TNF-α,IL-6andIL-15andchemokinessuch asIL-8andGRO- Alpha.[46][43]These inflammatory mediators, and others, orchestrate an environment that fosters proliferation and survival.[39][46]

Inflammation also causes DNA damages due to the induction ofreactive oxygen species(ROS) by various intracellular inflammatory mediators.[39][46][43]In addition,leukocytesand otherphagocytic cellsattracted to the site of inflammation induce DNA damages in proliferating cells through their generation of ROS andreactive nitrogen species(RNS). ROS and RNS are normally produced by these cells to fight infection.[39]ROS, alone, cause more than 20 types of DNA damage.[47]Oxidative DNA damages cause bothmutations[48]and epigenetic alterations.[49][43][50]RNS also cause mutagenic DNA damages.[51]

A normal cell may undergocarcinogenesisto become a cancer cell if it is frequently subjected to DNA damage during long periods of chronic inflammation. DNA damages may cause geneticmutationsdue toinaccurate repair.In addition, mistakes in the DNA repair process may causeepigeneticalterations.[43][46][50]Mutations and epigenetic alterations that are replicated and provide a selective advantage during somatic cell proliferation may be carcinogenic.

Genome-wide analyses of human cancer tissues reveal that a single typical cancer cell may possess roughly 100 mutations incoding regions,10–20 of which are"driver mutations"that contribute to cancer development.[43]However, chronic inflammation also causes epigenetic changes such asDNA methylations,that are often more common than mutations. Typically, several hundreds to thousands of genes are methylated in a cancer cell (seeDNA methylation in cancer). Sites of oxidative damage inchromatincan recruit complexes that containDNA methyltransferases(DNMTs), a histone deacetylase (SIRT1), and ahistone methyltransferase (EZH2),and thus induce DNA methylation.[43][52][53]DNA methylation of aCpG islandin apromoter regionmay cause silencing of its downstream gene (seeCpG siteandregulation of transcription in cancer). DNA repair genes, in particular, are frequently inactivated by methylation in various cancers (seehypermethylation of DNA repair genes in cancer). A 2018 report[54]evaluated the relative importance of mutations and epigenetic alterations in progression to two different types of cancer. This report showed that epigenetic alterations were much more important than mutations in generating gastric cancers (associated with inflammation).[55]However, mutations and epigenetic alterations were of roughly equal importance in generating esophageal squamous cell cancers (associated withtobacco chemicalsandacetaldehyde,a product of alcohol metabolism).

HIV and AIDS

edit

It has long been recognized that infection withHIVis characterized not only by development of profoundimmunodeficiencybut also by sustained inflammation and immune activation.[56][57][58]A substantial body of evidence implicates chronic inflammation as a critical driver of immune dysfunction, premature appearance of aging-related diseases, and immune deficiency.[56][59]Many now regard HIV infection not only as an evolving virus-induced immunodeficiency, but also as chronic inflammatory disease.[60]Even after the introduction ofeffective antiretroviral therapy(ART) and effective suppression of viremia in HIV-infected individuals, chronic inflammation persists. Animal studies also support the relationship between immune activation and progressive cellular immune deficiency:SIVsm infection of its natural nonhuman primate hosts, thesooty mangabey,causes high-level viral replication but limited evidence of disease.[61][62]This lack of pathogenicity is accompanied by a lack of inflammation, immune activation and cellular proliferation. In sharp contrast, experimentalSIVsm infection ofrhesus macaqueproduces immune activation and AIDS-like disease with many parallels to human HIV infection.[63]

Delineating howCD4T cells are depleted and how chronic inflammation and immune activation are induced lies at the heart of understanding HIV pathogenesis—one of the top priorities for HIV research by the Office of AIDS Research,National Institutes of Health.Recent studies demonstrated thatcaspase-1-mediatedpyroptosis,a highly inflammatory form of programmed cell death, drives CD4 T-cell depletion and inflammation by HIV.[64][65][66]These are the two signature events that propel HIV disease progression toAIDS.Pyroptosis appears to create a pathogenic vicious cycle in which dying CD4 T cells and other immune cells (including macrophages and neutrophils) release inflammatory signals that recruit more cells into the infected lymphoid tissues to die. The feed-forward nature of this inflammatory response produces chronic inflammation and tissue injury.[67]Identifying pyroptosis as the predominant mechanism that causes CD4 T-cell depletion and chronic inflammation, provides novel therapeutic opportunities, namely caspase-1 which controls the pyroptotic pathway. In this regard, pyroptosis of CD4 T cells and secretion of pro-inflammatory cytokines such asIL-1βandIL-18can be blocked in HIV-infected human lymphoid tissues by addition of the caspase-1 inhibitor VX-765,[64]which has already proven to be safe and well tolerated in phase II human clinical trials.[68]These findings could propel development of an entirely new class of "anti-AIDS" therapies that act by targeting the host rather than the virus. Such agents would almost certainly be used in combination with ART. By promoting "tolerance" of the virus instead of suppressing its replication, VX-765 or related drugs may mimic the evolutionary solutions occurring in multiple monkey hosts (e.g. the sooty mangabey) infected with species-specific lentiviruses that have led to a lack of disease, no decline in CD4 T-cell counts, and no chronic inflammation.

Resolution

edit

The inflammatory response must be actively terminated when no longer needed to prevent unnecessary "bystander" damage to tissues.[10]Failure to do so results in chronic inflammation, and cellular destruction. Resolution of inflammation occurs by different mechanisms in different tissues. Mechanisms that serve to terminate inflammation include:[10][69]

Acute inflammation normally resolves by mechanisms that have remained somewhat elusive. Emerging evidence now suggests that an active, coordinated program of resolution initiates in the first few hours after an inflammatory response begins. After entering tissues,granulocytespromote the switch ofarachidonic acid–derivedprostaglandinsandleukotrienesto lipoxins, which initiate the termination sequence.Neutrophilrecruitment thus ceases and programmed death byapoptosisis engaged. These events coincide with the biosynthesis, fromOmega -3 polyunsaturated fatty acids,ofresolvinsandprotectins,which critically shorten the period of neutrophil infiltration by initiating apoptosis. As a consequence, apoptotic neutrophils undergophagocytosisbymacrophages,leading to neutrophil clearance and release of anti-inflammatory and reparativecytokinessuch as transforming growth factor-β1. The anti-inflammatory program ends with the departure of macrophages through thelymphatics.[80]

Connection to depression

edit

There is evidence for a link betweeninflammation and depression.[81]Inflammatory processes can be triggered by negative cognitions or their consequences, such as stress, violence, or deprivation. Thus, negative cognitions can cause inflammation that can, in turn, lead to depression.[82][83][dubious–discuss] In addition, there is increasing evidence that inflammation can cause depression because of the increase of cytokines, setting the brain into a "sickness mode".[84]

Classical symptoms of being physically sick, such as lethargy, show a large overlap in behaviors that characterize depression. Levels of cytokines tend to increase sharply during the depressive episodes of people with bipolar disorder and drop off during remission.[85]Furthermore, it has been shown in clinical trials that anti-inflammatory medicines taken in addition to antidepressants not only significantly improves symptoms but also increases the proportion of subjects positively responding to treatment.[86] Inflammations that lead to serious depression could be caused by common infections such as those caused by a virus, bacteria or even parasites.[87]

Connection to delirium

edit

There is evidence for a link between inflammation anddeliriumbased on the results of a recent longitudinal study investigating CRP in COVID-19 patients.[88]

Systemic effects

edit

Aninfectious organismcan escape the confines of the immediate tissue via thecirculatory systemorlymphatic system,where it may spread to other parts of the body. If an organism is not contained by the actions of acute inflammation, it may gain access to the lymphatic system via nearbylymph vessels.An infection of the lymph vessels is known aslymphangitis,and infection of a lymph node is known aslymphadenitis.When lymph nodes cannot destroy all pathogens, the infection spreads further. A pathogen can gain access to the bloodstream through lymphatic drainage into the circulatory system.

When inflammation overwhelms the host,systemic inflammatory response syndromeis diagnosed. When it is due to infection, the termsepsisis applied, with the termsbacteremiabeing applied specifically for bacterial sepsis andviremiaspecifically to viral sepsis.Vasodilationand organ dysfunction are serious problems associated with widespread infection that may lead toseptic shockand death.[89]

Acute-phase proteins

edit

Inflammation also is characterized by high systemic levels ofacute-phase proteins.In acute inflammation, these proteins prove beneficial; however, in chronic inflammation, they can contribute toamyloidosis.[10]These proteins includeC-reactive protein,serum amyloid A,andserum amyloid P,which cause a range of systemic effects including:[10]

Leukocyte numbers

edit

Inflammation often affects the numbers of leukocytes present in the body:

  • Leukocytosisis often seen during inflammation induced by infection, where it results in a large increase in the amount of leukocytes in the blood, especially immature cells. Leukocyte numbers usually increase to between 15 000 and 20 000 cells per microliter, but extreme cases can see it approach 100 000 cells per microliter.[10]Bacterial infection usually results in an increase ofneutrophils,creatingneutrophilia,whereas diseases such asasthma,hay fever,and parasite infestation result in an increase ineosinophils,creatingeosinophilia.[10]
  • Leukopeniacan be induced by certain infections and diseases, including viral infection,Rickettsiainfection, someprotozoa,tuberculosis,and some cancers.[10]

Interleukins and obesity

edit

With the discovery ofinterleukins(IL), the concept ofsystemic inflammationdeveloped. Although the processes involved are identical to tissue inflammation, systemic inflammation is not confined to a particular tissue but involves theendotheliumand other organ systems.

Chronic inflammation is widely observed inobesity.[90][91]Obese people commonly have many elevated markers of inflammation, including:[92][93]

Low-grade chronic inflammation is characterized by a two- to threefold increase in the systemic concentrations of cytokines such as TNF-α, IL-6, and CRP.[96]Waist circumference correlates significantly with systemic inflammatory response.[97]

Loss ofwhite adipose tissuereduces levels of inflammation markers.[90]As of 2017 the association of systemic inflammation withinsulin resistanceandtype 2 diabetes,and withatherosclerosiswas under preliminary research, although rigorousclinical trialshad not been conducted to confirm such relationships.[98]

C-reactive protein(CRP) is generated at a higher level in obese people, and may increase the risk forcardiovascular diseases.[99]

Outcomes

edit

The outcome in a particular circumstance will be determined by the tissue in which the injury has occurred—and the injurious agent that is causing it. Here are the possible outcomes to inflammation:[10]

  1. Resolution
    The complete restoration of the inflamed tissue back to a normal status. Inflammatory measures such as vasodilation, chemical production, and leukocyte infiltration cease, and damagedparenchymalcells regenerate. Such is usually the outcome when limited or short-lived inflammation has occurred.
  2. Fibrosis
    Large amounts of tissue destruction, or damage in tissues unable to regenerate, cannot be regenerated completely by the body. Fibrousscarringoccurs in these areas of damage, forming a scar composed primarily ofcollagen.The scar will not contain any specialized structures, such asparenchymalcells, hence functional impairment may occur.
  3. Abscess formation
    A cavity is formed containing pus, an opaque liquid containing dead white blood cells and bacteria with general debris from destroyed cells.
  4. Chronic inflammation
    In acute inflammation, if the injurious agent persists then chronic inflammation will ensue. This process, marked by inflammation lasting many days, months or even years, may lead to the formation of achronic wound.Chronic inflammation is characterised by the dominating presence of macrophages in the injured tissue. These cells are powerful defensive agents of the body, but thetoxinsthey release—includingreactive oxygen species—are injurious to the organism's own tissues as well as invading agents. As a consequence, chronic inflammation is almost always accompanied by tissue destruction.

Examples

edit

Inflammation is usually indicated by adding the suffix "itis",as shown below. However, some conditions, such asasthmaandpneumonia,do not follow this convention. More examples are available atList of types of inflammation.
