INTRODUCTION:
Within the spectrum of systemic reaction toinflammation 2 physiological responses in particular areregarded as being associated with acute inflammation.
yThe first involves the alteration of the temperature set-point in the hypothalamus and the generation of thefebrileresponse.
y
The second involves alterations in metabolism and generegulation in the liver.

y Three cytokines that are released from the site oftissue injury -- IL-1, TNF- and IL-6 are considered toregulate the febrile response, possibly as a protectivemechanism. These cytokines mediate fever through
the induction of PGE.yAt the same time, IL-1 and IL-6 can act on the adrenal
pituitary axis to generate adrenocorticotropichormone (ACTH) and, subsequently, induce the
production of cortisol. This provides a negativefeedback loop, since corticosteroids inhibit cytokinegene-expression.

yAlthough most APRs are synthesized by hepatocytes,
some are produced by other cell types, includingmonocytes, endothelial cells, fibroblasts andadipocytes.
y There are 2 types of APRs- POSITIVE and NEGATIVE.
y
Positive APRs increase in plasma concentration duringacute phase response.
yNegative APRs are decreased in plasma concentration
during the acute phase response to allow an increase inthe capacity of the liver to synthesize the induced APRs

ACUTE PHASE RESPONSE
The varied concentrations of the acute phaseproteins combined with fever and leucocytosis is
called the acute phase response.
Liver synthesizes acute phase proteins in response tocirculatory cytokines produced during
inflammation.(IL-6 and some extent IL-1)

FUNCTIONS OF ACUTE PHASE REACTANTS
APRs have a wide range of activities that contributeto host defense.They can directly neutralize
inflammatory agents, help to minimize the extent oflocal tissue damage, as well as participate in tissuerepair and regeneration.
There is a rapid increase in the plasma
concentration of many complement cascadecomponents ,the activation of which ultimately resultsin the local accumulation of neutrophils, macrophagesand plasma proteins.

TGF-
It is a family of proteins involving promotion orinhibition of cell growth.

TGF- contd.It is chemotactic to fibroblasts and stimulates the
production of connective tissue matrix proteins suchas collagen and fibronectins.
It has mesoderm inducing properties duringembryogenesis.
Both TGFs act synergistically with FGF andmagnify its effects.

NERVE GROWTH FACTOR It is involved in the development and maintenance of
the sympathetic nervous system and neural crestderived neurons.
It is not involved in nerve cell division but involvesbranching and organisation of nerve cell dendriticprocesses both in CNS and PNS.
They have a neurotropic effect and selectively prevent
cell death.

hormone and is hence high in ACROMEGALY.RELAXIN , secreted by ovary ,is related to IGF family
and is involved in the maturation of the female genitaltract during pregnancy.

GROWTH FACTOR RECEPTOR DEFECTSy There are 3 known pathologic mechanisms that can
result in causing abnormally prolonged receptordimerization that results in continuous mitogenic
signalling.1.Loss of extracellular binding domain leading to
permanent dimerisation of GF receptor
2.Mutations in transmembrane domain that promotedimerization.
3.Over expression of receptor leading to increasedconcentration of dimers.
