To clarify perinatal transformations of surfactant we performed lung lavage in term fetuses and in 0–24-h-old newborn rabbits. Lavage fluid was separated into three pools, namely lavage pellet, lavage supernatant and cells. We found that at birth the pellet contains 94.1 ± 1.4% (S.E.) saturated phosphatidylcholine, while the supernatant and cells contain traces of it. At birth the pellet contains secreted lamellar bodies while the supernatant lacks any recognizable structure. After birth, the alveolar saturated phosphatidylcholine level increases 5.1-times in 24 h, the proportions between pools reaching adult values in 90 min (pellet = 75.9 + 4.8%, supernatant = 22.7 ± 4.9%), and small vesicles appear in the supernatant, probably originating from the turnover of alveolar surfactant during breathing. The saturated phosphatidylcholine associated with cells remains unchanged. At birth, the 32–38 kDa surfactant apolipoprotein appears to be less extensively sialylated than in adult life. 相似文献

Methods are presented for the quantitative isolation of surfactants from fetal and newborn rabbit alveolar lavage returns and post-lavaged lung tissue homogenates. The phospholipid content of both fractions progressively increased between 27 days gestation and term (31 days). The tissue-stored fraction increased approximately 16-fold (from 0.48 +/- 0.13 to 7.83 +/- 0.86 mg/g dry lung) and the alveolar fraction more than 30-fold (from 0.08 +/- 0.02 to 2.69 +/- 0.52 mg/g dry lung). Developmental changes in phospholipid composition were also observed. Tissue-stored surfactant was prepared using differential and density gradient centrifugation. Alveolar surfactant was isolated during fetal development as a high-speed pellet following a one-step differential centrifugation. There was little change in the phospholipid content of fetal alveolar lavage supernatant (range 0.12 +/- 0.04 to 0.28 +/- 0.09 mg/g dry lung). By the first postnatal day the phospholipid content of both lavage fractions significantly increased (pellet, 7.51 +/- 1.79; supernatant, 4.01 +/- 1.36 mg/g dry lung) and both were identified as surfactant. This increase in alveolar surfactant was accompanied by an approximately twofold decrease (to 3.81 +/- 1.1 mg/g dry lung) in the tissue-stored fraction. These data provide a quantitative profile of surfactant accumulation and secretion in developing rabbit lung. 相似文献

Premature lambs with respiratory failure [CO2 partial pressure (PCO2) greater than 70 Torr] were treated with 50 mg/kg 3H-labeled natural surfactant by tracheal instillation. Minimum surface tensions of sequential samples suctioned from the airways fell from 25 +/- 3 dyn/cm before treatment to 8 +/- 5 dyn/cm after treatment and again rose to 32 +/- 2 dyn/cm at death. Minimum surface tensions of alveolar wash samples taken at death were 27 +/- 4 dyn/cm, whereas surfactant fractions reisolated from the alveolar washes lowered surface tension to under 10 dyn/cm. The alveolar washes, surfactant reisolated from the alveolar washes, and natural surfactant had similar phospholipid compositions; however, the alveolar washes contained about 40 times more protein per micromole phosphatidylcholine. The natural surfactant used for treatment apparently was inactivated by an inhibitor of surfactant function. After intravenous injections of [14C]palmitic acid, labeled saturated phosphatidylcholine appeared on the airways, indicating endogenous synthesis and secretion. However, the specific activity of the 3H-labeled saturated phosphatidylcholine in the natural surfactant used for treatment decreased by only 30 +/- 4% in the alveolar wash; thus the treatment dose was not diluted to a large extent by endogenous pools. 相似文献

A possible route of clearance of surfactant phosphatidylcholine from the lungs is via the airways. To quantify surfactant loss via this pathway, latex bags were surgically placed into the abdomens of adult rabbits such that secretions cleared via the esophagus could be collected. The rabbits then were given treatment or trace doses of radiolabeled phosphatidylcholine-surfactant by tracheal injection and/or intravascular radiolabeled precursors of phosphatidylcholine. Labeled saturated phosphatidylcholine was measured in all fluids that were collected from the bags at 2-h intervals for 24 h and in alveolar washes and lung tissues at 24 h. No more than 7% of either treatment or trace doses of intratracheal surfactant-saturated phosphatidylcholine was lost via clearance up the airways over 24 h. Clearances of endogenously synthesized and secreted saturated phosphatidylcholine were estimated to be no more than 3% of the flux of labeled saturated phosphatidylcholine through the alveolar pool. These experiments demonstrate that surfactant phosphatidylcholine clearance via movement up the airways is not a major pathway leading to surfactant catabolism. 相似文献

Type II cells and macrophages are the major cells involved in the alveolar clearance and catabolism of surfactant. We measured type II cell and macrophage contributions to the catabolism of saturated phosphatidylcholine and surfactant protein A (SP-A) in mice. We used intratracheally administered SP-A labeled with residualizing (125)I-dilactitol-tyramine, radiolabeled dipalmitoylphosphatidylcholine ([(3)H]DPPC), and its degradation-resistant analog [(14)C]DPPC-ether. At 15 min and 7, 19, 29, and 48 h after intratracheal injection, the mice were killed; alveolar lavage was then performed to recover macrophages and surfactant. Type II cells and macrophages not recovered by the lavage were subsequently isolated by enzymatic digestion of the lung. Radioactivity was measured in total lung, lavage fluid macrophages, alveolar washes, type II cells, and lung digest macrophages. Approximately equal amounts of (125)I-dilactitol-tyramine-SP-A and [(14)C]DPPC-ether associated with the macrophages (lavage fluid plus lung digest) and type II cells when corrected for the efficiency of type II cell isolation. Eighty percent of the macrophage-associated radiolabel was recovered from lung digest macrophages. We conclude that macrophages and type II cells contribute equally to saturated phosphatidylcholine and SP-A catabolism in mice. 相似文献

We used the model of bilateral cervical vagotomy of adult rabbits to cause respiratory failure characterized by pulmonary edema, decreased lung compliance, and atelectasis. We documented an 18-fold increase in radiolabeled albumin leak from the vascular space into alveolar washes of vagotomy vs. sham-operated rabbits (P less than 0.01). Despite a twofold increase in percent of prelabeled saturated phosphatidylcholine secreted (P less than 0.01), the alveolar wash saturated phosphatidylcholine pool sizes were not different. The minimum surface tensions were 19.6 +/- 2.5 vs. 9.4 +/- 2.2 dyn/cm for alveolar washes from vagotomy and control rabbits, respectively (P less than 0.01). The soluble proteins from alveolar washes inhibited the surface tension lowering properties of natural surfactant, whereas those from the control rabbits did not (P less than 0.01). When vagotomy rabbits in respiratory failure were treated with 50 mg natural surfactant lipid per kilogram arterial blood gas values and compliances improved relative to control rabbits. Vagotomy results in alveolar pulmonary edema, and surfactant dysfunction despite normal surfactant pool sizes and respiratory failure. A surfactant treatment can improve the respiratory failure. 相似文献

Surfactant protein D (SP-D) is a collagenous surfactant associated protein synthesized by alveolar type II cells. SP-D was purified from the supernatant of rat bronchoalveolar lavage fluids obtained by centrifugation at 33,000 x gav for 16 h. The contents of SP-D and SP-A in fractions obtained by the centrifugation of rat bronchoalveolar lavage were determined by enzyme-linked immunoassay. The total content of SP-D was approximately 12% of that of SP-A in these lavage fluids. 99.1% of SP-A was present in the 33,000g pellet, whereas 71.1% of SP-D was in the 33,000g supernatant. Analysis by high performance liquid chromatography reveals that lipids are copurified with isolated SP-D. Phosphatidylcholine accounted for 84.8% of the phospholipids copurified with SP-D. Unlike SP-A, SP-D in the purified and delipidated form failed to compete with 125I-labeled SP-A for phosphatidylcholine binding, and to aggregate phospholipid liposomes. The present study demonstrates that lipids are copurified with SP-D, that SP-D and SP-A distribute differently in rat bronchoalveolar lavage fluids, and that SP-D in the purified and delipidated form does not exhibit interaction with lipids in the same fashion as SP-A. 相似文献

Fetal lung fluid was collected following tracheotomy at the time of delivery of 40 premature lambs at 133-136 days gestational age. The concentration of phosphatidylcholine and saturated photophatidylcholine in fetal lung fluid was compared with the severity of lung disease of the lambs as assessed after 3 to 10 h of controlled mechanical ventilation with only peak inspiratory pressures varied to control the PCO2 values. Phosphatidylcholine concentration in fetal lung fluid did not correlate with the peak inspiratory pressures needed to ventilate the lambs, total lung compliance values, or the surfactant phosphatidylcholine pool sizes measured by alveolar wash after sacrifice. The ratio of saturated to total phosphatidylcholine was constant (0.55 +/- 0.02) and independent of concentration of phosphatidylcholine in the fetal lung fluid. The fetal lung fluid contained only about 0.7% of the final surfactant phosphatidylcholine pool released by the lambs to the alveoli after birth. Within a narrow gestational age range characterized by lung disease of widely varying severity, the phosphatidylcholine concentrations in fetal lung fluid were not predictive of the severity of lung disease. 相似文献

Lung surfactant dipalmitoylphosphatidylcholine (DPPC) is endocytosed by alveolar epithelial cells and degraded by lysosomal-type phospholipase A2 (aiPLA2). This enzyme is identical to peroxiredoxin 6 (Prdx6), a bifunctional protein with PLA2 and GSH peroxidase activities. Lung phospholipid was studied in Prdx6 knockout (Prdx6-/-) mice. The normalized content of total phospholipid, phosphatidylcholine (PC), and disaturated phosphatidylcholine (DSPC) in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid, lung lamellar bodies, and lung homogenate was unchanged with age in wild-type mice but increased progressively in Prdx6-/- animals. Degradation of internalized [3H]DPPC in isolated mouse lungs after endotracheal instillation of unilamellar liposomes labeled with [3H]DPPC was significantly decreased at 2 h in Prdx6-/- mice (13.6 +/- 0.3% vs. 26.8 +/- 0.8% in the wild type), reflected by decreased dpm in the lysophosphatidylcholine and the unsaturated PC fractions. Incorporation of [14C]palmitate into DSPC at 24 h after intravenous injection was decreased by 73% in lamellar bodies and by 54% in alveolar lavage surfactant in Prdx6-/- mice, whereas incorporation of [3H]choline was decreased only slightly. Phospholipid metabolism in Prdx6-/- lungs was similar to that in wild-type lungs treated with MJ33, an inhibitor of aiPLA2 activity. These results confirm an important role for Prdx6 in lung surfactant DPPC degradation and synthesis by the reacylation pathway. 相似文献

Extensive homogenization of lung tissue by nitrogen decompression in a Parr disruption bomb increased by 5-fold the yields of low-density phospholipid (d = 1.06) achieved by other methods. This intracellular phospholipid preparation was high in phosphatidylcholines (84.3%), particularly disaturated phosphatidylcholine (51.2%). On the basis of its low density, composition, and morphological appearance, we concluded that this phospholipid was derived from the intracellular compartment of pulmonary surfactant. We examined the relationship between intra- and extra-cellular surfactant pools according to age, gender and silica-induced pulmonary injury. In normal animals the intracellular pool of surfactant phospholipids increased from 1.54 +/- 0.14 mg at 1 day after birth to 62.30 +/- 4.50 mg per pair of lungs after 31 months, and over the same time period the extracellular pool increased from 1.04 +/- 0.15 mg to 27.45 +/- 2.30 mg per pair of lungs. The ratio between the extracellular and intracellular pools of surfactant increased from 1.50 +/- 0.19 at 1 day after birth to 2.28 +/- 0.23 after 31 months of age. The ratio between the two pools was not influenced by gender, but was changed by the intratracheal injection of silica into the lungs. Intratracheal injection of silica dust increased the levels of surfactant in both compartments, but not to the same extent, indicating that the ratio between the pools could be changed by toxic materials. These data suggest the existence of a size relationship between the intra- and the extra-cellular pools of surfactant, a relationship which implies a common regulatory mechanism that can be disturbed during pulmonary injury. 相似文献

Alveolar macrophages are essential for the maintenance of surfactant homeostasis. We asked whether surfactant treatment would change alveolar macrophage number and whether the alveolar macrophage phenotype would become activated or apoptotic when challenged in vivo with exogenous surfactant. Surfactant pool size in mice was increased by repetitive surfactant treatments containing 120 mg/kg (110 micromol/kg) saturated phosphatidylcholine. The number of alveolar macrophages recovered by alveolar lavage decreased after the first dose by 49% and slightly increased after the second and third doses. Up to 28.5% of the macrophages became large and foamy, and their appearance normalized within 12 h. Surfactant treatment did not increase the percent of apoptotic or necrotic cells. The alveolar macrophages were not activated as indicated by no change in expression of CD14, CD16, CD54, CD95, and scavenger receptor class A types I and II after surfactant treatment. Surfactant treatment in healthy mice transiently changed the phenotype of alveolar macrophages to large and foamy without indications of changes in the surface markers characteristic of activation. 相似文献

Deterioration of pulmonary surfactant function has been reported in interstitial lung disease; however, the molecular basis is presently unclear. We analyzed fatty acid (FA) profiles of several surfactant phospholipid classes isolated from large-surfactant aggregates of patients with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF; n = 12), hypersensitivity pneumonitis (n = 5), and sarcoidosis (n = 12). Eight healthy individuals served as controls. The relative content of palmitic acid in phosphatidylcholine was significantly reduced in IPF (66.8 +/- 2.5%; means +/- SE; P < 0.01) but not in hypersensitivity pneumonitis (78.5 +/- 1.8%) and sarcoidosis (78.2 +/- 3.1%; control 80.1 +/- 0.7%). In addition, the phosphatidylglycerol FA profile was significantly altered in the IPF patients, with a lower relative content of its major FA, oleic acid, at the expense of saturated FA. In the phosphatidylcholine class, a significant correlation between the impairment of biophysical surfactant function and decreased percentages of palmitic acid was noted. We conclude that significant alterations in the FA profile of pulmonary surfactant phospholipids occur predominantly in IPF and may contribute to the disturbances of alveolar surface activity in this disease. 相似文献

Secretion of surfactant by primary cultures of alveolar type II cells isolated from rats 总被引:4,自引:0,他引:4

Pulmonary surfactant conventionally is prepared from material obtained by endobronchial lavage. Although it has been assumed that the components of surfactant are secreted by alveolar type II cells, direct proof of this assumption has not been available. Furthermore, it is possible that the final material obtained by lavage has been modified after secretion or altered during the isolation procedure. It has been shown previously that type II cells, after 1 day in primary culture, secrete saturated phosphatidylcholine, one of the lipid components of surfactant. Because saturated phosphatidylcholine is not unique to surfactant and because type II cells in culture lose differentiated characteristics over the first several days in culture, it has not previously been established how closely the secretory products of cultures of type II cells resemble surfactant as obtained by endobronchial lavage. We therefore studied the morphologic, physical and chemical characteristics of the material that type II cells secrete under basal conditions and after stimulation with terbutaline or 12-O-tetradecanoyl-13-phorbol acetate. The secreted material resembled surfactant obtained by lavage; it was similar morphologically to the lamellar material and tubular myelin seen in the fluid-filled alveoli of fetal rats, it lowered surface tension to 5 mN per meter, and it contained the 72000 dalton apolipoprotein of surfactant (as measured by the 'rocket' immunoelectrophoresis technique). When cells were incubated for 22 h with [1-(14)C]acetate, the distribution of radioactivity in the secreted material was very similar to the phospholipid composition of rat surfactant. We conclude that the material secreted by alveolar type II cells after 1 day in primary culture is similar to surfactant obtained by endobronchial lavage. 相似文献

We examined the effect of adrenalectomy (ADX) on aspects of the surfactant system of adult rats. Five days after bilateral ADX, ADX rats had about 20% less disaturated phosphatidylcholine (DSPC) in lung lavage returns (airway DSPC) than sham-operated rats, but the amount of tissue DSPC was not different between the groups; airway DSPC formed 12.8 +/- 0.5% of total DSPC (airway + tissue) in ADX and 15.9 +/- 0.7% in sham-ADX rats. An ultrastructural morphometric analysis of alveolar type 2 cells did not reveal an effect of ADX on lamellar body volume density or surface-to-volume ratio. ADX rats had heavier lungs (not as a result of edema) than sham-ADX rats. Treatment of ADX rats with hydrocortisone returned the amount of DSPC toward normal and eliminated the increase of lung weight. ADX did not alter the recoil of saline-filled lungs but did slightly increase the recoil of air-filled lungs. We conclude that corticosteroid hormones influence the in vivo functioning of the surfactant system of adult rats, but this effect seems to be slight. 相似文献

We hypothesized that 20S proteasome is present and functional in the extracellular alveolar space in humans. Proteasomal activity was measured in bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) supernatant from eight humans using specific proteasomal fluorogenic substrates and I(125)-albumin with and without specific proteasome inhibitors. Furthermore, gelfiltration, Western blot technique, and mass spectrometry were applied for proteasome characterization. All proteasomal fluorogenic substrates were hydrolyzed by BAL supernatant, with hydrolysis inhibited by epoxomicin (P = 0.024) and other proteasome inhibitors as well. E64, a lysosomal inhibitor, did not inhibit enzyme activity. The majority of proteolytic activity was detected in BAL supernatant rather than in the cell pellet. No correlation was found between proteasomal hydrolysis in BAL supernatant and lactate dehydrogenase activity, the total cell count in the cell pellet, and the fraction of avital cells in the cell pellet, ruling out cell lysis as a major source of proteasomal activity. Gelfiltration revealed hydrolyzing activity in the supernatant at 660 kDa and proteasome core proteins after analysis by ESI-QqTOF mass spectrometry. Furthermore, Western blots using a polyclonal antibody against proteasomal alpha-/beta-subunits detected proteasomal proteins in the typical 20- to 30-kDa range in BAL supernatant. Incubation of BAL supernatant with I(125)-albumin showed a high mean cleavage rate (101.8 microg/ml x h lavage +/- 46 SD) that was inhibited by epoxomicin (P = 0.013) and was ATP and ubiquitin independent. We identified for the first time extracellular, biologically active, ATP- and ubiquitin-independent 20S proteasome in the human alveolar space, with a high albumin cleavage rate. Possibly, the proteasome assists in maintenance of a low intra-alveolar oncotic pressure and/or alveolar protein degradation. 相似文献

Pulmonary maturation in six ovine fetuses hypophysectomised by a cryosurgical method at 0.7-0.8 of pregnancy and delivered by hysterotomy at 152.2 +/- 2.9 (SD) days was compared with that in seven control fetuses delivered at 144.5 +/- 3.5 days. Both the wet and the dry weight of the lungs was less in the hypophysectomised fetuses but total DNA did not differ. Lung volumes at 40 cm of H2O and at 5 cm of H2O on deflation in hypophysectomised fetuses were less than one-third that of controls. Saturated phosphatidylcholine, as an estimate of surfactant, was lower in both lung tissue and lavage fluid. A further group of hypophysectomised fetuses was infused intravenously either with cortisol at 1 mg/h for 72 h (n = 6), or with ACTH1-24 at 5 microgram/h for 84 h (n = 6) before delivery at 155.0 +/- 2.1 days and 154.2 +/- 3.9 days respectively. None of the indices of pulmonary maturation in the cortisol-treated fetuses differed from those in untreated hypophysectomised fetuses whereas values for lung volumes at 40 and 5 cm of H2O in ACTH-treated fetuses were more than twice those of untreated hypophysectomised fetuses and did not differ significantly from controls. In addition, the amount of saturated phosphatidylcholine in lavage fluid was greater in ACTH-treated fetuses (0.13 +/- 0.10 mg/g) than in untreated hypophysectomised fetuses (0.04 +/- 0.48 mg/g). Lung volume at 40 cm of H2O in four fetuses that were thyroidectomised at the time of hypophysectomy responded to ACTH as in hypophysectomised fetuses with intact thyroids but other indices were unaffected. We conclude that hypophysectomy retards pulmonary maturation in fetal sheep. Since ACTH restores distensibility and increases alveolar surfactant in the absence of other pituitary hormones it is likely that ACTH has a major role in lung maturation. The lack of response to cortisol suggests that the effect of ACTH is not mediated only by circulating cortisol. 相似文献

We increased surfactant pool size by surfactant treatment in mice to test if the catabolism of the major component of surfactant, saturated phosphatidylcholine (Sat PC), was rate limited. By intratracheal instillation, we gave mice trace doses, doses of 45 or 110 micromol/kg, or three doses of 110 micromol/kg of Sat PC in surfactant that contained radiolabeled dipalmitoylphosphatidylcholine (DPPC) and a radiolabeled phospholipase A-resistant ether analog of DPPC. Two strains of mice with 2-fold differences in alveolar and total Sat PC pool sizes were used; the mice with the higher pool sizes had a 2.3-fold higher steady-state catabolic rate. Acute increases in alveolar surfactant given by intratracheal instillation increased catabolic rates approximately 2-fold over the steady-state rates in both strains. There was minimal loss of the ether analog of DPPC from the lungs, and the alveolar macrophages did not accumulate more than 10% of the ether analog. In these two strains of mice, the catabolism of Sat PC was not rate limited because catabolic rate increased when alveolar pool sizes were increased. 相似文献

Surfactant replacement attenuates the increase in alveolar permeability in hyperoxia 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Rabbits exposed to hyperoxia develop surfactant deficiency, abnormal lung mechanics, and increased permeability to solute. We investigated whether replenishment of depleted alveolar surfactant by the intratracheal instillation of calf lung surfactant extract (CLSE) would mitigate the increase in alveolar permeability to solute. Twenty-eight rabbits were exposed to 100% O2 for 72 h and received intratracheal instillations of 125 mg CLSE (approximately 170 mumol dipalmitoyl phosphatidylcholine) at 24 and 48 h. The interlobar and intralobar distribution of CLSE was quantified by adding [14C]dipalmitoyl phosphatidylcholine liposes into the instillate and measuring the levels of activity in lung tissue. CLSE was nonuniformly distributed in the different lung lobes, the right lower lobe receiving more CLSE than the rest. Alveolar epithelial permeability to solute was assessed by instilling 10 ml isotonic saline, which contained a trace amount of [57Co]cyanocobalamin, in the right lower lobe and measuring the disappearance of the tracer from the alveolar saline and its appearance in the arterial blood during a 1-h period. CLSE treatment was associated with significantly increased 72-h survival in hyperoxia compared with saline-treated controls (number of survivors: 16/17 vs. 5/11, P less than 0.01). CLSE treatment significantly reduced the rate constant for the movement of cyanocobalamin out of the alveolar space (24 +/- 5 vs. 42 +/- 6 min-1 x 10(-3), P less than 0.01) and tracer appearance in the blood at the end of the study (7 +/- 1 vs. 34 +/- 13%, P less than 0.01) when compared with values in saline controls.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS) 相似文献

We previously found a shorter surfactant disaturated phosphatidylcholine palmitate (DSPC-PA) half-life in infants with bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) by using a single stable isotope tracer and simple formulas based on a one-exponential fit of the final portion of the enrichment decay curve. The aim of this study was to apply noncompartmental and compartmental analysis on the entire enrichment decay curve of DSPC-PA and to compare the kinetic data with our previous results. We analyzed 10 preterm newborns with BPD (gestational age 26 +/- 0.6 wk, weight 777 +/- 199 g) and 6 controls (gestational age 26 +/- 1.4 wk, weight 787 +/- 259 g). All took part in our previous study. Endotracheal 13C-labeled dipalmitoyl phosphatidylcholine was administered, and the 13C-enrichment of surfactant DSPC-PA was measured from serial tracheal aspirates by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry. Noncompartmental and compartmental models were numerically identified from the tracer-to-tracee ratio and kinetic parameters related to the accessible (pool accessible to sampling, likely to be the lung alveolar pool) and to the nonaccessible pools (pools not accessible to samplings, likely to be the intracellular storage pool) were estimated in the two study groups. Comparison was performed by Mann-Whitney test. A two-compartment model provided the most reliable assessment of DSPC-PA kinetics. In BPD vs. controls, mean +/- SE residence time of DSPC-PA in the accessible was 17.5 +/- 2.6 vs. 32.2 +/- 6.4 h (P < 0.05), whereas it was 49.7 +/- 3.5 vs. 54.4 +/- 3.9 h (NS, not significant) in the nonaccessible pool; DSPC-PA recycling was 0.26 +/- 0.05 vs. 0.43 +/- 0.04% (NS), respectively. A two-compartment model of surfactant DSPC-PA kinetics allowed a thorough assessment of DSPC-PA kinetics, including masses, synthesis, and fluxes between pools. The most important findings of this study are that in BPD infants DSPC-PA loss from the alveolar pool was higher and recycling through the intracellular pool lower than in controls. 相似文献

Surfactant subtypes in mice: characterization and quantitation 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
Surfactant obtained by bronchoalveolar lavage of normal adult mice was separated into subtypes by a one-step centrifugation to equilibrium on continuous sucrose gradients. Mouse surfactant resolved in this way exists in three subtypes with similar phospholipid compositions. A "light" subtype of buoyant density 1.027 +/- 0.012 (SD) g/ml comprises 43 +/- 18% of the total alveolar lavage phospholipid, has little surface activity, and consists exclusively of small unilamellar vesicles. A "heavy" subtype of buoyant density 1.055 +/- 0.016 g/ml comprises 48 +/- 11% of the total, is surface active, and consists of small amounts of tubular myelin among large empty vesicles. A third component, called "ultraheavy," comprises 9 +/- 4% of the total alveolar lavage phospholipid, has a density of 1.072 +/- 0.020 g/ml, is surface active, and consists of large aggregates of tubular myelin associated with lamellar bodylike structures. Labeling studies suggested that the ultraheavy material was labeled first and was of the same density as purified lamellar bodies. These results are consistent with the view that, in mice, surfactant is secreted into the alveolar compartment in an ultraheavy form, which evolves into the heavy and light forms. 相似文献
