PATHOLOGIC CALCIFICATION
![Page 4: Cell injury: Pathologic calcification and Cell aging](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022081604/58742c871a28ab72188b6aa5/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
• Abnormal tissue deposition of calcium salts, together with smaller amounts of iron, magnesium, and other mineral salts

DYSTROPHICCALCIFICATION
METASTATIC CALCIFICATION
1. Occurs locally in dead and degenerated tissues
2. Normal levels of serum calcium
3. Absence of derangements in calcium metabolism
Examples – Psammoma bodies in papillary cancers, Asbestos bodies
Can cause organ dysfunction (heart valves, Atherosclerosis)
1. Deposition in normal tissues
2. Increased levels of serum calcium
3. Disturbance in calcium metabolism
(in hyperparathyroidism, bone damage or diseases, William’s syndrome

DYSTROPHIC CALCIFICATION
![Page 7: Cell injury: Pathologic calcification and Cell aging](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022081604/58742c871a28ab72188b6aa5/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
DYSTROPHIC CALCIFICATION
1. 2 Phases 1. Initiation – occurs in the mitochondria of
necrotic cells with the creation of a microcrystal 2. Propagation – accumulation of Ca+2 phosphate
salts
Although it may just be a sign of past injury it often results in organ dysfunction

Dystrophic Calcification
Dystrophic calcification in the Achilles tendon after repeated traumatic injury.

Psammoma Bodies
![Page 12: Cell injury: Pathologic calcification and Cell aging](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022081604/58742c871a28ab72188b6aa5/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
METASTATIC CALCIFICATION1. 4 Primary causes
1. Elevated PTH causing bone resoption1. Primary hyperparathyroidism 2. Secondary hyperparathyroidism
2. Destruction of bone3. Vitamin D related disorders intoxication, Sarcoidosis
(macrophages turn on Vita D receptor)4. Renal failure (phosphate retention so increased PTH)
2. Occurs throughout the body but favors tissues that lose acid (alkali) favoring calcium deposition (gastric mucosa, lungs, kidneys)

PATHOGENESIS
• Excessive binding of inorganic phosphate ions with the calcium ions
• Precipitation of calcium phosphates

Hyaline change
![Page 16: Cell injury: Pathologic calcification and Cell aging](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022081604/58742c871a28ab72188b6aa5/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
• This is an alteration• within cells or extracellular space
• Homogeneous glassy pink appearance in H& E stains

• Its just a descriptive term
• rather than a specific marker of cell injury!!

Cell aging
![Page 20: Cell injury: Pathologic calcification and Cell aging](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022081604/58742c871a28ab72188b6aa5/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
• There is good evidence that aging-induced alterations in cells are an important component of the aging of the organism
![Page 21: Cell injury: Pathologic calcification and Cell aging](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022081604/58742c871a28ab72188b6aa5/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
• Cellular aging is the result of a progressive decline in cellular function and viability
– caused by genetic abnormalities &
– the accumulation of cellular and molecular damage due to the effects of exposure to exogenous influences
![Page 22: Cell injury: Pathologic calcification and Cell aging](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022081604/58742c871a28ab72188b6aa5/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
changes that contribute to cellular aging
• Decreased cellular replication. • Accumulation of metabolic and genetic
damage.
![Page 23: Cell injury: Pathologic calcification and Cell aging](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022081604/58742c871a28ab72188b6aa5/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Telomeres and Aging:Is there a connection?
![Page 24: Cell injury: Pathologic calcification and Cell aging](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022081604/58742c871a28ab72188b6aa5/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
What are telomeres?
• Telomeres are…– Repetitive DNA sequences at the ends of all
human chromosomes– They contain thousands of repeats of the six-
nucleotide sequence, TTAGGG – In humans there are 46 chromosomes and
thus 92 telomeres (one at each end)
![Page 25: Cell injury: Pathologic calcification and Cell aging](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022081604/58742c871a28ab72188b6aa5/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
What do telomeres do?
• They protect the chromosomes.• They separate one chromosome from
another in the DNA sequence• Without telomeres, the ends of the
chromosomes would be "repaired", leading to chromosome fusion and massive genomic instability.
![Page 26: Cell injury: Pathologic calcification and Cell aging](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022081604/58742c871a28ab72188b6aa5/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Telomere function, cont’.
• Telomeres are also thought to be the "clock" that regulates how many times an individual cell can divide.
• Telomeric sequences shorten each time the DNA replicates.
![Page 27: Cell injury: Pathologic calcification and Cell aging](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022081604/58742c871a28ab72188b6aa5/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
How are telomeres linked to aging?
• Once the telomere shrinks to a certain level, the cell can no longer divide. Its metabolism slows down, it ages, and dies.
• SENESCENCE
![Page 28: Cell injury: Pathologic calcification and Cell aging](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022081604/58742c871a28ab72188b6aa5/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Telomeres & Aging
• Healthy human cells are MORTAL because they can divide only a finite number of times, growing older each time they divide. Thus cells in an elderly person are much older than cells in an infant.
![Page 29: Cell injury: Pathologic calcification and Cell aging](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022081604/58742c871a28ab72188b6aa5/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
What is telomerase, anyway?• Telomerase (TEE-LÓM-ER-ACE) is a
ribonucleoprotein enzyme complex (a cellular reverse transcriptase) that has been referred to as a cellular IMMORTALIZING enzyme.
• It stabilizes telomere length by adding hexameric (TTAGGG) repeats onto the telomeric ends of the chromosomes, thus compensating for the erosion of telomeres that occurs in its absence.
![Page 30: Cell injury: Pathologic calcification and Cell aging](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022081604/58742c871a28ab72188b6aa5/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
How Does Telomerase Work?
• Telomerase works by adding back telomeric DNA to the ends of chromosomes, thus compensating for the loss of telomeres that normally occurs as cells divide.
• Most normal cells do not have this enzyme and thus they lose telomeres with each division.
![Page 31: Cell injury: Pathologic calcification and Cell aging](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022081604/58742c871a28ab72188b6aa5/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
How Does Telomerase Work?
• In humans, telomerase is active in germ cells, in vitro immortalized cells, the vast majority of cancer cells and, possibly, in some stem cells.
• High telomerase activity exists in germ cells, stem cells, epidermal skin cells, follicular hair cells, and cancer cells.

CALORIE RESTRICTION!!!• YES!• Studies in model organisms, from yeasts
to mammals
• HOW?
![Page 34: Cell injury: Pathologic calcification and Cell aging](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022081604/58742c871a28ab72188b6aa5/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
• Mediated by family of proteins called SIRTUINS!
• Promotes expression of several genes whose products increase longevity
• Increase metabolism, reduce apoptosis, decrease the effects of free radicals
![Page 35: Cell injury: Pathologic calcification and Cell aging](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022081604/58742c871a28ab72188b6aa5/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
• constituent of red wine may activate SIRTUINS and thus increase life span!

• Relevance of these findings to aging in humans is an area of active investigation!!!!.
