,HC 1 – Ch 2 cell injury, cell death and adaptations
What is disease?
- Dysfunction of an organ or tissue because of damage to the cells
- The damage can be of many causes, chemical, thermal, radiation, DNA damage,
microbacterial
- The damaging agent (bacteria, viruses, genetics, radiation) is the etiology, the influence
on and the changes in cellular processes reflect the pathogenesis
Example 1:
– Radiation causes a nucleotide (C) to change into another nucleotide (G)
o Radiation = etiology
– Therefore, a different amino acid will be read which causes a different protein
o The different amino acid and protein = pathogenesis
– Sickle cell disease is caused by a change of one nucleotide which causes a
malfunctioning protein
Example 2:
- Cholera bacteria = not harmful (innocuous)
o Cholera bacteria = etiology
- Produce a toxin which causes diarrhea
- Liters per hour of fluid will be lost
o Toxin = causes pathogenesis of disease

, The roll of DNA in pathology
- DNA organized in chromosomes, complex structure that is strictly organized in small
units > when you need it these units can be opened (DNA > RNA > Protein)
- All your cells have all your DNA > not every part of your DNA is approachable and can be
read
- The reading of DNA is the largest part that can go wrong in
your cells
– Everything that is wrong in people, you can track it
back to something that goes wrong in cells
– Lots of cells working together = a community
Amoebe (dictyostelium discoideum) work together when they have little food around >>
multicellular by choice
Multicellular individuals: pros and cons
¤ Internal environment (milieu) is optimised, and thus also attractive for intruders
(indringers) – effective defence is required (immune system)→ INFECTIOUS DISEASES
¤ Organisation & clear division of tasks is mandatory, cell proliferation is needed
because during life you lose a lot of cells >> proliferation must be kept under close
control (you don’t want cells to proliferate when they don’t need to) → CANCER
Cell damage, stress & stressors
1. Disease is caused by damage to (part of) a cell or group of cells (etiology)
2. The initial damage can cause further damage (pathogenesis)
3. The cell/organ reacts to minimize impact of damage (adaptation)
4. Damage can be reversible, lead to adaptation or, ultimately to death of the cell
Adaptation (A) versus cell death (B)
– Heart cell/ muscle cell
– Workload increases for a heart – can increase by high blood pressure
o Heart has to pump against a higher resistance > workload of heart cells
increases
– To counteract (tegengaan) that: the cell can
increase in size: hypertrophy
o All cells will get bigger - organ gets bigger
– When and if the stress is permanent and too
much for the cell to bear > it will die > cell death
o Myocardinfarction: insufficient oxygen in
heartmuscles
