• Hypertrophy: Enlargement or
overgrowth of an organ or part of
the body due to the increased
size of the constituent cells
• Often in response to increased
workload; induced by mechanical
stress and by growth factors;
occurs in tissues incapable of cell
division
Hypertrophy (2/2)
• Hypertrophy : No new cells, just bigger cells, enlarged by an increased amount
of structural proteins and organelles.
• Hypertrophy can be physiologic or pathologic caused either by increased
functional demand or by specific hormonal stimulation.
• Hypertrophy and hyperplasia can also occur together in an enlarged
(hypertrophic) organ (The massive physiologic enlargement of the uterus
during pregnancy occurs as a consequence of estrogen-stimulated smooth
muscle hypertrophy and smooth muscle hyperplasia
• The striated muscle cells in both the skeletal muscle and the heart can
undergo only hypertrophy in response to increased demand because limited
capacity to divide (Weightlifter can develop a rippled physique only by
hypertrophy of individual skeletal muscle cells induced by an increased
workload)
• Pathologic cellular hypertrophy include the cardiac enlargement that occurs
with hypertension or aortic valve disease
Physiologic hypertrophy of the uterus during pregnancy
A. Gross appearance of a normal uterus (right) and a gravid uterus (left) that was removed for
postpartum bleeding
B. Small spindle-shaped uterine smooth muscle cells from a normal uterus. Compare this with (C)
large, plump hypertrophied smooth muscle cells from a gravid uterus (B and C, same magnification).
Hyperplasia
• Hyperplasia : An increase in the number of cells
in an organ or tissue.
• Normal cells may become cancer cells. Before
cancer cells form in tissues of the body, the cells
go through abnormal changes called
hyperplasia and dysplasia.
• In hyperplasia, there is an increase in the
number of cells in an organ or tissue that
appear normal under a microscope. In
dysplasia, the cells look abnormal under a
microscope but are not cancer.
• Hyperplasia and dysplasia may or may not
become cancer.
Type of Hyperplasia (1/2)
1. Hormonal hyperplasia
The proliferation of the glandular epithelium of the female
breast at puberty and during pregnancy
2. Compensatory hyperplasia
Hyperplasia that occurs when a portion of the tissue is
removed or diseased. Example : A liver is partially resected,
mitotic activity in the remaining cells begins as early as 12
hours later, eventually restoring the liver to its normal
weight.
Dysplasia
• Dysplasia means abnormal growth and differentiation.
• The term have a developmental pathology or oncologic meaning.
• Developmental pathology : To describe morphogenetic
abnormalities (eg : dysplastic kidneys).
• Oncology : To describe disorderly growth and maturation of cells
that are not normal but that are not obviously malignant
(premalignant condition, a precursor of invasive neoplasia.
Dysplasia can also be considered as a transitional stage linking
neoplasia to hyperplasia or metaplasia)
Type of Dysplasia
1. Squamous dysplasia of the cervix : Dysplasia may be
graded as mild, moderate, or severe(grade I, II, or III).
2. Liver cell dysplasia: Liver cell carcinomas arise at an
increased rate in cirrhosis caused by viral hepatitis B and C
Degeneration
• Degenerasi merupakan suatu perubahan keadaan secara fisika dan
kimia dalam sel, jaringan, atau organ yang bersifat menurunkan
efisiensinya.
• Degenerasi dapat diakibatkan dari penuaan dan disebabkan oleh
penyakit. Proses penuaan dapat terjadi akibat dari paparan radikal
bebas.
Macular degeneration
• Macular degeneration, or age-related macular degeneration (AMD), is a
leading cause of vision loss in Americans 60 and older. It is a disease that
destroys your sharp, central vision.
• AMD affects the macula, the part of the eye that allows to see fine detail
• There are two types: wet and dry
1.Wet AMD happens when abnormal blood vessels grow under the
macula. These new blood vessels often leak blood and fluid. Wet AMD
damages the macula quickly. Blurred vision is a common early symptom.
2.Dry AMD happens when the light-sensitive cells in the macula slowly
break down and effected gradually lose central vision. A common early
symptom is that straight lines appear crooked.
Metaplasia
Definition
• A reversible change in one adult cell type (epithelial or mesenchymal) is
replaced by another adult cell type.
• Metaplasia: change in phenotype of differentiated cells, often a response
to chronic irritation that makes cells better able to withstand the stress;
usually induced by altered differentiation pathway of tissue stem cells; may
result in reduced functions or increased propensity for malignant
transformation.
• In this type of cellular adaptation, cells sensitive to a particular stress are
replaced by other cell types better able to withstand the adverse
environment.
• Metaplasia is thought to arise by genetic "reprogramming" of stem cells
rather than trans differentiation of already differentiated cells.
Anaplasia
• Anaplasia of tumor cells is defined as lack of differentiation. Adult somatic
cells are differentiated (express genes in a tissue-specific manner).
• Common features :
1. Pleomorphism: Variation in size and shape of nuclei
2. Hyperchromatic nuclei: The chromatin in the nuclei is increased in
amount and irregularly distributed (‘‘clumped’’)
3. Atypical mitoses: may be tripolar or multipolar, in contrast to bipolar
normal mitoses
4. High nuclear cytoplasmic ratio: Resembling embryonic cells
5. Bizarre cells: Including giant cells
Causes of Cell Injury (1/3)
1. Oxygen Deprivation. Hypoxia is a deficiency of oxygen, which
causes cell injury by reducing aerobic oxidative respiration. Hypoxia
is an extremely important and common cause of cell injury and cell
death.
2. Physical Agents. Physical agents capable of causing cell injury
include mechanical trauma, extremes of temperature burns and
deep cold), sudden changes in atmospheric pressure, radiation, and
electric shock
Causes of Cell Injury (2/3)
3. Chemical Agents and Drugs. Chemicals such as glucose or salt in
hypertonic concentrations may cause cell injury directly or by
deranging electrolyte homeostasis of cells. High concentrations of
oxygen is severely toxic. Trace amounts of agents known as
poisons,such as arsenic, cyanide, or mercuric salts, may destroy
sufficient numbers of cells within minutes to hours to cause death.
4. Infectious Agents.
These agents range from the submicroscopic viruses to the large
tapeworms (rickettsiae, bacteria, fungi, and higher forms of parasites)
Causes of Cell Injury (3/3)
5. Immunologic Reactions. Immune reactions, cause cell injury. The anaphylactic
reaction to a foreign protein or a drug is a prime example, and reactions to
endogenous self-antigens are responsible for a number of autoimmune
diseases
6. Genetic Derangements. The genetic injury may result in a defect as severe as
the congenital malformations associated with Down syndrome, caused by a
chromosomal abnormality, or as the decreased life of red blood cells caused by
a single amino acid substitution in hemoglobin S in sickle cell anemia.
7. Nutritional Imbalances.Protein-calorie deficiencies cause an appalling number
of deaths. Nutritional problems can be self-imposed, as in anorexia nervosa or
self-induced starvation. Nutritional excesses also become important causes of
cell injury. Excesses of lipids predispose to atherosclerosis, and obesity is a
manifestation of the overloading of some cells in the body with fats.
Necrosis (1/3)
• The term necrosis was first used by morphologists to refer to a series
of changes that accompany cell death, largely resulting from the
degradative action of enzymes on lethally injured cells.
• Necrotic cells are unable to maintain membrane integrity, and their
contents often leak out.
• The enzymes responsible for digestion of the cell are derived either
from the lysosomes of the dying cells themselves or from the
lysosomes of leukocytes that are recruited as part of the
inflammatory reaction to the dead cells
• Necrosis of a collection of cells in a tissue or an organ, for instance in
the ischemic myocardium, results in death of the entire tissue and
sometimes an entire organ.
Type of Necrosis (1/2)
1. Coagulative necrosis is a form of tissue necrosis in which the component
cells are dead but the basic tissue architecture is preserved for at least
several days
2. Liquefactive necrosis is seen in focal bacterial or, occasionally, fungal
infections, because microbes stimulate the accumulation of
inflammatory cells and the enzymes of leukocytes digest ("liquefy") the
tissue.
3. Gangrenous necrosis is cell death applied to a limb, generally the lower
leg, that has lost its blood supply and has undergone coagulative necrosis
involving multiple tissue layers. When bacterial infection is
superimposed, coagulative necrosis is modified by the liquefactive action
of the bacteria and the attracted leukocytes (so-called wet gangrene).
Type of Necrosis (2/2)
4. Caseous necrosis is encountered most often in foci of tuberculous infection. The
term "caseous" (cheese-like) is derived from the friable yellow-white appearance
of the area of necrosis
5. Fat necrosis : Refers to focal areas of fat destruction, typically resulting from
release of activated pancreatic lipases into the substance of the pancreas and the
peritoneal cavity (acute pancreatitis).Pancreatic enzymes that have leaked out of
acinar cells and ducts liquefy the membranes of fat cells in the peritoneum, and
lipases split the triglyceride esters contained within fat cells.
6. Fibrinoid necrosis is a special form of necrosis usually seen in immune reactions
involving blood vessels. This pattern of necrosis is prominent when complexes of
antigens and antibodies are deposited in the walls of arteries. Deposits of these
"immune complexes," together with fibrin that has leaked out of vessels, result in
a bright pink and amorphous appearance in H&E stains, called "fibrinoid" (fibrin-
like) by pathologists
