Fig. 14.1. The Thl/Th2 balance is central to the regulation of normal wound repair. Tissue injury results in the initiation of an inflammatory response, mediated by a variety of cells and their by-products. Immune cells are recruited and cross-regulate the Thl/ Th2 balance that occurs in response to the cytokine environment. This balance is in turn cross-regulated by the chemokine/chemokine-receptor expression profile, which functions to amplify the inflammatory process. Cells residing in the injured tissue release profibrotic mediators, which promote fibroblast activation, proliferation, and differentiation to the myofibroblast phenotype. Myofibroblasts produce collagen to repair damaged tissue, which is an event that is favored by the inhibition of MMP activity. The Thl/Th2 balance is central to whether a normal or aberrant wound-repair process is established A Thl environment promotes normal tissue resolution (fibrinolysis), whereas a Th2 environment maintains the progression of fibrotic disease (excessive collagen deposition).

In many processes, cells may die continuously or may start dying (after time, t3) because of a lack of nutrients, toxic effects or cell ageing. This process can typically be described by a first order decay relationship ...

Cells were harvested at an optical density (OD) (540 nm) of 0.7-0.8. During the harvest process, cells were kept on ice where possible. Cells were centrifuged at 16200g for 10 min. Cell pellets were washed with 800 mL of ice-cold stock solution 5 and centrifuged as above. Cell pellets were combined and concentrated by resuspending them in a final volume of 50 mL of 50 mM stock solution 5. The OD (540 nm) was adjusted to 5 (1.5 mg cells dry weight (CDW)/mL).

The number of cells in any tissue is mainly regulated by two processes—cell proliferation and physiological cell death, apoptosis. Both of these processes are regulated by stimulatory and inhibitory factors that act in solute form (growth factors and cytokines) or are presented in bound form on the surface of neighboring cells (see below).

It is well established that caspases participate in the final stages of apoptosis (Fig. 32-4), but what initiates the process There appear to be many ways in which apoptosis can be triggered. If every cell has a proper location in the body, which is determined by signals from adjacent cells, what will happen if the cell becomes detached There is evidence that such detachment with the loss of survival signals causes apoptosis.53a 152b Cell damage is also a major trigger. In other cases the cell is "instructed" to die. An example is the death of unneeded lymphocytes, one of many cellular processes induced by cytokines of the tumor necrosis factor (TNF) family. To allow for this process cells have surface receptors of the TNF... 

Note that the mechanism proposed for helper T-cell function requires that T cells have surface receptors that recognize antigen-processing cells, antigen itself, and the appropriate B cell. We will shortly discuss the nature of T-cell receptors, as well as the surface structures they recognize, in a broader context.
