Persistent cell injury is most commonly caused by chronic tissue inflammation. Associated with chronic inflammation is a condition called ischemia (decreased tissue perfusion of oxygen and nutrients) which is often a complication also of atherosclerosis (a form of 'hardening of arteries').
Cell responses to persistent injury from the hostile environments of chronic inflammation or ischemia vary considerably depending on cell type and duration of injury.
In ischemia, there is often cell membrane damage with consequent aberrations in cell control of hydration. An influx of sodium ions, as a result of membrane damage, can result in an influx of water and cell swelling. If the cell swelling persists, cell death occurs.
In chronic inflammation, there is often an efflux of water and cell shrinkage. Cell responses to persistent injury from inflammation include a range of responses but often include dysplasia (a preneoplastic lesion). Does chronic cell dehydration, from chronic inflammation, result in aberrations in protein and DNA structure, function and interaction? Does cancer, and other diseases, result from these aberrations?
