This study focused on two hydrophobic fractions (HF-A and HF-B) isolated from porcine lung surfactant (LS) that had similar phospholipid composition, but HF-A consisted of the hydrophobic LS specific proteins (SP-B and SP-C), in contrast to HF-B. Monolayers spread in a Langmuir trough were formed at the air/water interface of both fractions and the rate of adsorption-desorption and the respreading potential of the LS constituents was studied during six consecutive compression/decompression cycles of the monolayers. By drawing a comparison between the behavior of HF-A and HF-B monolayers on the subphase of 150 mm NaCl, either with or without additional Ca2+, we estimated the role of hydrophobic LS proteins and Ca2+ ions for LS surface activity. The results demonstrated much higher ability of the HF-A sample, compared to HF-B, to maintain lower surface tension (γ) during monolayer compression and its better respreading capacity during decompression. For instance, at a surface concentration corresponding to 80 Å2 per phospholipid molecule, the HF-A monolayers showed a much lower γ max value (surface tension at 100% of the trough area), being ca. 31.0 mN/m, compared to the HF-B monolayers (γ max? 62.0 mN/m). The surface tension after compression to 20% of the initial area (γ min) reached ca. 7.0 and 19.0 mN/m in the HF-A and HF-B monolayers, respectively. Better respreading of the HF-A monolayers compared to the HF-B monolayers was due to the faster adsorption and spreading of LS phospholipids during decompression, facilitated by the hydrophobic proteins. As the phospholipid composition of both fractions was similar, we showed that the hydrophobic surfactant proteins were responsible also for the prevention of the irreversible loss of material from the surface during monolayer compression/decompression. The effects observed demonstrated also that the hydrophobic surfactant proteins were the stronger determinant, compared with Ca2+ ions, for the surface tension decrease and respreading of the monolayers during film compression/decompression. For instance, when the HF-A monolayers were spread on a subphase with an additional 5 mm Ca2+ ion content, no significant changes were detected in the γ min and γ max values between the first and sixth cycle, compared to the monolayers spread on a subphase of 150 mm NaCl only. However, in the absence of positively charged SP-B and SP-C (HF-B sample) in highly compressed monolayers, Ca2+ ions were able to cause the effects shown by SP-B and SP-C, although to a less extent. The role of the electrostatic and hydrophobic interactions is discussed for the better respreading of LS components in the presence of LS proteins and Ca2+ ions. 相似文献

Pulmonary surfactant contains at least three unique proteins: SP-A, SP-B and SP-C. SP-B and SP-C from bovine surfactant are markedly hydrophobic and have molecular masses between 3 and 26 kDa. We identify surfactant proteins under nonreducing conditions on polyacrylamide gels with approximate molecular mass of 5, 14, 26 kDa (SP-5, 14, 26) when organic solvent-soluble material is eluted from a Sephadex LH-20 size exclusion column followed by separation on a high-performance reverse-phase chromatography system. These bands correspond to monomeric SP-C, oligomeric SP-C and oligomeric SP-B, respectively. Computer analysis (Eisenberg-hydrophobic moment) of sequences for these proteins suggests that SP-B contains surface-seeking amphiphilic segments. In contrast, SP-C resembles a more hydrophobic transmembrane anchoring peptide. Dispersions containing dipalmitoylphosphatidylcholine, phosphatidylglycerol, palmitic acid and multimeric SP-B and SP-C duplicate the surface activity of natural surfactant when assayed in a pulsating bubble surfactometer. We speculate that oligomers of SP-B and monomers and oligomers of SP-C may act cooperatively in affecting surfactant function. An important function of SP-B and SP-C may be to affect the ordering of surfactant lipids so that rates of transport of surfactant lipids to the hypophase surface in the alveoli are enhanced. 相似文献

The hydrophobic proteins SP-B and SP-C are essential for pulmonary surfactant function, even though they are a relatively minor component (<2% of surfactant dry mass). Despite countless studies, their specific differential action and their possible concerted role to optimize the surface properties of surfactant films have not been completely elucidated. Under conditions kept as physiologically relevant as possible, we tested the surface activity and mechanical stability of several surfactant films of varying protein composition in vitro using a captive bubble surfactometer and a novel (to our knowledge) stability test. We found that in the naturally derived surfactant lipid mixtures, surfactant protein SP-B promoted film formation and reextension to lower surface tensions than SP-C, and in particular played a vital role in sustaining film stability at the most compressed states, whereas SP-C produced no stabilization. Preparations containing both proteins together revealed a slight combined effect in enhancing film formation. These results provide a qualitative and quantitative framework for the development of future synthetic therapeutic surfactants, and illustrate the crucial need to include SP-B or an efficient SP-B analog for optimal function. 相似文献

Hydrophobic pulmonary surfactant (PS) proteins B (SP-B) and C (SP-C) modulate the surface properties of PS lipids. Epifluorescence microscopy was performed on solvent-spread monolayers of fluorescently labeled porcine SP-B (R-SP-B, labeled with Texas Red) and SP-C (F-SP-C, labeled with fluorescein) in dipalmitoylphosphatidylcholine (DPPC) (at protein concentrations of 10 and 20 wt%, and 10 wt% of both) under conditions of cyclic compression and expansion. Matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization (MALDI) spectroscopy of R-SP-B and F-SP-C indicated that the proteins were intact and labeled with the appropriate fluorescent probe. The monolayers were compressed and expanded for four cycles at an initial rate of 0.64 A2 x mol(-1) x s(-1) (333 mm2 x s x [-1]) up to a surface pressure pi approximately 65 mN/m, and pi-area per residue (pi-A) isotherms at 22 +/- 1 degrees C were obtained. The monolayers were microscopically observed for the fluorescence emission of the individual proteins present in the film lipid matrix, and their visual features were video recorded for image analysis. The pi-A isotherms of the DPPC/protein monolayers showed characteristic "squeeze out" effects at pi approximately 43 mN/m for R-SP-B and 55 mN/m for F-SP-C, as had previously been observed for monolayers of the native proteins in DPPC. Both proteins associated with the expanded (fluid) phase of DPPC monolayers remained in or associated with the monolayers at high pi (approximately 65 mN/m) and redispersed in the monolayer upon its reexpansion. At comparable pi and area/molecule of the lipid, the proteins reduced the amounts of condensed (gel-like) phase of DPPC monolayers, with F-SP-C having a greater effect on a weight basis than did R-SP-B. In any one of the lipid/protein monolayers the amounts of the DPPC in condensed phase were the same at equivalent pi during compression and expansion and from cycle to cycle. This indicated that only minor loss of components from these systems occurred between compression-expansion cycles. This study indicates that hydrophobic PS proteins associate with the fluid phase of DPPC in films, some proteins remain at high surface pressures in the films, and such lipid-protein films can still attain high pi during compression. 相似文献

The hydrophobic proteins SP-B and SP-C promote rapid adsorption of pulmonary surfactant to an air/water interface by an unknown mechanism. We tested the hypothesis that these proteins accelerate adsorption by disrupting the structure of the lipid bilayer, either by a generalized increase in fluidity or by a focal induction of interfacial boundaries within the bilayer. We used fluorescence recovery after photobleaching to measure diffusion of nitrobenzoxadiazolyl-dimyristoyl-phosphatidylethanolamine between 11 and 54 degrees C in multilayers containing the complete set of lipids and proteins in calf lung surfactant extract (CLSE), or the complete set of neutral and phospholipids without the proteins. Above 35 degrees C, Arrhenius plots of diffusion were parallel for CLSE and neutral and phospholipids, but shifted to lower values for CLSE, suggesting that the proteins rigidify the lipid bilayer rather than producing the proposed increase in membrane fluidity. The slopes of the Arrhenius plots for CLSE were steeper below 35 degrees C, suggesting that the proteins induce phase separation at that temperature. The mobile fraction fell below 27 degrees C, consistent with a percolation threshold of coexisting gel and liquid-crystal phases. The induction of lateral phase separation in CLSE, however, does not correlate with apparent changes in adsorption kinetics at this temperature. Our results suggest that SP-B and SP-C accelerate adsorption through a mechanism other than the disruption of surfactant bilayers, possibly by stabilizing a high-energy, highly curved adsorption intermediate. 相似文献

J. Appl. Physiol. 83(6):1849-1856, 1997.To investigate the effects of surfactantproteins B (SP-B) and C (SP-C) on lung mechanics, we compared tidal andstatic lung volumes of immature rabbits anesthetized with pentobarbitalsodium and given reconstituted test surfactants (RTS).With a series of RTS having various SP-B concentrations (0-0.7%)but a fixed SP-C concentration (1.4%), both the tidal volume with25-cmH2O insufflation pressure and the static volume deflated to5-cmH2O airway pressure increased, significantly correlating with the SP-B concentration: the former increased from 6.5 to 26.0 ml/kg (mean), and the latter increased from6.4 to 31.8 ml/kg. With another series of RTS having afixed SP-B concentration (0.7%) but various SP-C concentrations(0-1.4%), the tidal volume increased from 5.1 to 24.8 ml/kg,significantly correlating with the SP-C concentration, whereas thestatic volume increased from 3.4 to 32.0 ml/kg, the ceiling value, inthe presence of a minimal concentration of SP-C (0.18%). Inconclusion, certain doses of SP-B and SP-C were indispensable foroptimizing dynamic lung mechanics; the static mechanics, however,required significantly less SP-C. 相似文献

The interaction of the hydrophobic pulmonary surfactant protein SP-C with dipalmitoylphosphatidylcholine (DPPC), dipalmitoylphosphatidylglycerol (DPPG) and DPPC:DPPG (7:3, mol:mol) in spread monolayers at the air-water interface has been studied. At low concentrations of SP-C (about 0.5 mol% or 3 weight%protein) the protein-lipid films collapsed at surface pressures of about 70 mN.m-1, comparable to those of the lipids alone. At initial protein concentrations higher than 0.8 mol%, or 4 weight%, the isotherms displayed kinks at surface pressures of about 50 mN.m-1 in addition to the collapse plateaux at the higher pressures. The presence of less than 6 mol%, or 27 weight%, of SP-C in the protein-lipid monolayers gave a positive deviation from ideal behavior of the mean areas in the films. Analyses of the mean areas in the protein-lipid films as functions of the monolayer composition and surface pressure showed that SP-C, associated with some phospholipid (about 8-10 lipid molecules per molecule of SP-C), was squeezed out from the monolayers at surface pressures of about 55 mN.m-1. The results suggest a potential role for SP-C to modify the composition of the monolayer at the air-water interface in the alveoli. 相似文献

Langmuir isotherms and fluorescence and atomic force microscopy images of synthetic model lung surfactants were used to determine the influence of palmitic acid and synthetic peptides based on the surfactant-specific proteins SP-B and SP-C on the morphology and function of surfactant monolayers. Lung surfactant-specific protein SP-C and peptides based on SP-C eliminate the loss to the subphase of unsaturated lipids necessary for good adsorption and respreading by inducing a transition between monolayers and multilayers within the fluid phase domains of the monolayer. The morphology and thickness of the multilayer phase depends on the lipid composition of the monolayer and the concentration of SP-C or SP-C peptide. Lung surfactant protein SP-B and peptides based on SP-B induce a reversible folding transition at monolayer collapse that allows all components of surfactant to be retained at the interface during respreading. Supplementing Survanta, a clinically used replacement lung surfactant, with a peptide based on the first 25 amino acids of SP-B also induces a similar folding transition at monolayer collapse. Palmitic acid makes the monolayer rigid at low surface tension and fluid at high surface tension and modifies SP-C function. Identifying the function of lung surfactant proteins and lipids is essential to the rational design of replacement surfactants for treatment of respiratory distress syndrome. 相似文献

Inhibition of mixtures of surfactant lipids and synthetic sequences of surfactant proteins SP-B and SP-C 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
The respiratory distress syndrome of premature infants is caused by both surfactant deficiency and surfactant inhibition by capillary-alveolar leakage of serum factors. Dispersions of a standard surfactant lipid mixture, with and without various synthetic peptides, modeled on human surfactant proteins SP-B (residues 1-25, 49-66, 1-78) and SP-C (residues 1-10), were evaluated for inhibition by serum and by plasma constituents using a pulsating bubble surfactometer. Inhibition was derived from the changes in surface properties of these mixtures after addition of human serum or plasma constituents. Modified bovine surfactant (TA) containing native SP-B and SP-C was used as a control. In the absence of serum inhibitors, mixtures with synthetic peptides gave results similar to surfactant TA. However, inhibition was more evident in the dispersions with synthetic peptides when compared with surfactant TA. The peptide/phospholipid mixture with the entire sequence of SP-B and the first 10 residues of SP-C were more resistant to inhibition than mixtures with synthetic peptides containing fewer domains. Addition of calcium reduced the inhibitory effects of serum both in mixtures containing synthetic peptides and in surfactant TA. Therefore, synthetic SP-B and SP-C peptides in surfactant lipids, in cooperation with calcium, permit resistance to inhibition by several plasma constituents that probably inactivate surfactant by a variety of different mechanisms. 相似文献

The effects of pulmonary surfactant protein SP-B on the properties of monolayers of dipalmitoylphosphatidylcholine (DPPC) and dipalmitoylphosphatidylglycerol (DPPG), and a mixture of DPPC:DPPG (7:3, mol:mol) were studied using spread films at the air-water interface. The addition of SP-B to the phospholipid monolayers gave positive deviations from additivity of the mean areas in the films. At low protein concentrations (less than 45% amino acid residues which corresponds to 0.5 mol% or 10 weight% SP-B) monolayers of SP-B/DPPC, SP-B/DPPG and SP-B/(DPPC:DPPG) collapsed at surface pressures of about 70 mN.m-1, comparable to those of the lipids alone. At higher concentrations of SP-B in the protein-lipid monolayers, kink points appeared in the isotherms at about 40-45 mN.m-1, implying possible exclusion of material from the films, hence, changes in the original monolayer compositions. Calculated analyses of the monolayer compositions as a function of surface pressure indicated that nearly pure SP-B, associated with small amounts of phospholipid (2-3 lipid molecules per SP-B dimer), was lost from SP-B/DPPC, SP-B/DPPG, and SP-B/(DPPC:DPPG) films at surface pressures higher than 40-45 mN.m-1. The results are consistent with a low effectiveness of SP-B in removing saturated phospholipids, DPPC or DPPG, from the spread SP-B/phospholipid films. 相似文献

The lung surfactant proteins SP-B and SP-C are pivotal for fast and reversible lipid insertion at the air/liquid interface, a prerequisite for functional lung activity. We used a model system consisting of a preformed monolayer at the air/liquid interface supplemented with surfactant protein SP-B or SP-C and unilamellar vesicles injected into the subphase of a film balance. The content of SP-B or SP-C was similar to that found in lung lavage. In order to elucidate distinct steps of lipid insertion, we measured the time-dependent pressure increase as a function of the initial surface pressure, the temperature and the phosphatidylglycerol content by means of surface tension measurements and scanning force microscopy (SFM). The results of the film balance study are indicative of a two-step mechanism in which initial adsorption of vesicles to the protein-containing monolayer is followed by rupture and integration of lipid material. Furthermore, we found that vesicle adsorption on a preformed monolayer supplemented with SP-B or SP-C is strongly enhanced by negatively charged lipids as provided by DPPG and the presence of Ca2+ ions in the subphase. Hence, long-range electrostatic interactions are thought to play an important role in attracting vesicles to the surface, being the initial step in replenishment of lipid material. While insertion into the monolayer is independent of the type of protein SP-B or SP-C, initial adsorption is faster in the presence of SP-B than SP-C. We propose that the preferential interaction between SP-B and negatively charged DPPG leads to accumulation of negative charges in particular regions, causing strong adhesion between DPPG-containing vesicles and the monolayer mediated by Ca2+ ions, which eventually causes flattening and rupture of attached liposomes as observed by in situ SFM. 相似文献

Exposing bovine lipid extract surfactant (BLES), a clinical surfactant, to reactive oxygen species arising from hypochlorous acid or the Fenton reaction resulted in an increase in lipid (conjugated dienes, lipid aldehydes) and protein (carbonyls) oxidation products and a reduction in surface activity. Experiments where oxidized phospholipids (PL) were mixed with BLES demonstrated that this addition hampered BLES biophysical activity. However the effects were only moderately greater than with control PL. These results imply a critical role for protein oxidation. BLES oxidation by either method resulted in alterations in surfactant proteins SP-B and SP-C, as evidenced by altered Coomassie blue and silver staining. Western blot analyses showed depressed reactivity with specific antibodies. Oxidized SP-C showed decreased palmitoylation. Reconstitution experiments employing PL, SP-B, and SP-C isolated from control or oxidized BLES demonstrated that protein oxidation was more deleterious than lipid oxidation. Furthermore, addition of control SP-B can improve samples containing oxidized SP-C, but not vice versa. We conclude that surfactant oxidation arising from reactive oxygen species generated by air pollution or leukocytes interferes with surfactant function through oxidation of surfactant PL and proteins, but that protein oxidation, in particular SP-B modification, produces the major deleterious effects. 相似文献

Pulmonary surfactant contains two families of hydrophobic proteins, SP-B and SP-C. Both proteins are thought to promote the formation of the phospholipid monolayer at the air-fluid interface of the lung. The Wilhelmy plate method was used to study the involvement of SP-B and SP-C in the formation of phospholipid monolayers. The proteins were either present in the phospholipid vesicles which were injected into the subphase or included in a preformed phospholipid monolayer. In agreement with earlier investigators, we found that SP-B and SP-C, present in phospholipid vesicles, were able to induce the formation of a monolayer, as became apparent by an increase in surface pressure. However, when the proteins were present in a preformed phospholipid monolayer (20 mN/m) at similar lipid to protein ratios, the rate of surface pressure increase after injection of pure phospholipid vesicles into the subphase at similar vesicle concentrations was 10 times higher. The process of phospholipid insertion from phospholipid vesicles into the protein-containing monolayers was dependent on (1) the presence of (divalent) cations, (2) the phospholipid concentration in the subphase, (3) the size of the phospholipid vesicles, (4) the protein concentration in the preformed monolayer, and (5) the initial surface pressure at which the monolayers were formed. Both in vesicles and in preformed monolayers, SP-C was less active than SP-B in promoting the formation of a phospholipid monolayer. The use of preformed monolayers containing controlled protein concentrations may allow more detailed studies on the mechanism by which the proteins enhance phospholipid monolayer formation from vesicles. 相似文献

Spread binary monolayers of surfactant-associated proteins SP-B and SP-C were formed at the air-water interface. Surface pressure measurements showed no interactions between the hydrophobic proteins. The effects of a mixture of SP-B plus SP-C (2:1, w/w) on the properties of monolayers of dipalmitoylphosphatidylcholine (DPPC), dipalmitoylphosphatidylglycerol (DPPG), and DPPC:DPPG (7:3, mol:mol) were studied. During compression of ternary and quaternary films, containing less than 0.4 mol% or 5 weight% total protein, the proteins were not squeezed out and appeared to remain associated with the film until collapse at surface pressures of about 65-70 mN.m-1. At initial concentrations of total protein of about 0.9 mol% or 10 weight%, exclusion of protein-lipid complexes was observed at 40-50 mN.m-1. Larger amounts of phospholipid were removed by proteins from (SP-B:SP-C)/DPPG films than from (SP-B:SP-C)/DPPC ones. Separate squeeze-out of SP-B (or SP-B plus DPPC) at about 40 mN.m-1, followed by exclusion of SP-C (or SP-C plus DPPC) at about 50 mN.m-1, was observed in (SP-B:SP-C)/DPPC films. This led to a conclusion that there was independent behavior of SP-B and SP-C in (SP-B:SP-C)/DPPC monolayers. The quaternary (SP-B:SP-C)/(DPPC:DPPG) films showed qualitatively similar process of squeeze-out of the proteins. In the ternary mixtures of SP-B plus SP-C with DPPG separate exclusion of SP-B was not detected; rather, the data was consistent with exclusion of a (SP-B:SP-C)/DPPG complex at about 50 mN.m-1.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS) 相似文献

Incorporation of pulmonary surfactant into fibrin inhibits its plasmic degradation. In the present study we investigated the influence of surfactant proteins (SP)-A, SP-B, and SP-C on the fibrinolysis-inhibitory capacity of surfactant phospholipids. Plasmin-induced fibrinolysis was quantified by means of a (125)I-fibrin plate assay, and surfactant incorporation into polymerizing fibrin was analyzed by measuring the incorporation of (3)H-labeled L-alpha-dipalmitoylphosphatidylcholine into the insoluble clot material. Incorporation of a calf lung surfactant extract (Alveofact) and an organic extract of natural rabbit large surfactant aggregates (LSA) into a fibrin clot revealed a stronger inhibitory effect on plasmic cleavage of this clot than a synthetic phospholipid mixture (PLX) and unprocessed LSA. Reconstitution of PLX with SP-B and SP-C increased, whereas reconstitution with SP-A decreased, the fibrinolysis-inhibitory capacity of the phospholipids. The SP-B effect was paralleled by an increased incorporation of phospholipids into fibrin. We conclude that the inhibitory effect of surfactant incorporation into polymerizing fibrin on its susceptibility to plasmic cleavage is enhanced by SP-B and SP-C but reduced by SP-A. In the case of SP-B, increased phospholipid incorporation may underlie this finding. 相似文献

Pulmonary surfactant proteins, SP-B and SP-C, if present in preformed monolayers can induce lipid insertion from lipid vesicles into the monolayer after the addition of (divalent) cations [Oosterlaken-Dijksterhuis, M. A., Haagsman, H. P., van Golde, L. M. G., & Demel, R. A. (1991) Biochemistry 30, 8276-8287]. This model system was used to study the mechanisms by which SP-B and SP-C induce monolayer formation from vesicles. Lipid insertion proceeds irrespectively of the molecular class, and PG is not required for this process. In addition to lipids that are immediately inserted from vesicles into the monolayer, large amounts of vesicles are bound to the monolayer and their lipids eventually inserted when the surface area is expanded. SP-B and SP-C are directly responsible for the binding of vesicles to the monolayer. By weight, the vesicle binding capacity of SP-B is approximately 4 times that of SP-C. For vesicle binding and insertion, the formation of close contacts between monolayer and vesicles is essential. SP-B and SP-C show very similar surface properties. Both proteins form extremely stable monolayers (collapse pressures 36-37 mN/m) of alpha-helical structures oriented parallel to the interface. In monolayers consisting of DPPC and SP-B or SP-C, an increase in mean molecular area is observed, which is mainly attributed to the phospholipid. This will greatly enhance the insertion of new lipid material into the monolayer. The results of this study suggest that the surface properties and the hydrophobic nature of SP-B and SP-C are important for the protein-mediated monolayer formation. 相似文献

SP-C, a highly hydrophobic, 3.7-kDa protein constituent of lung surfactant, has been isolated from bovine lung lavage, purified, and reconstituted into binary lipid mixtures of 1,2-dipalmitoyl-phosphatidylcholine (DPPC) and 1,2-dipalmitoylphosphatidylglycerol (DPPG). Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy has been applied to examine SP-C secondary structure, the average orientation of alpha-helical segments relative to the bilayer normal in membrane films, and the effect of protein on the thermotropic properties of the phospholipid acyl chains. In addition, dynamic surface measurements were made on phospholipid films at the A/W interface in the presence and absence of SP-C. SP-C (0.5 mol %) was found to possess about 60% alpha-helical secondary structure in lipid vesicles. Higher levels (1.5 mol %) of SP-C resulted in a slight increase of beta-forms, possibly resulting from protein aggregation. The helical segments exhibited an average angle of orientation of about 24 degrees with respect to the bilayer normal, suggesting a trans-bilayer orientation of the peptide. The observation that 70% of the peptide bond hydrogens are hard to exchange in D2O further reflects the hydrophobic nature of the molecule. SP-C produced little effect on the thermotropic properties of the binary lipid mixture, as measured from acyl chain C-H and C-D stretching frequencies. However, the presence of 1 mol % protein markedly reduced the viscance and increased the elasticity of surface films suggesting a mechanism by which SP-C facilitates the spreading of phospholipids on an aqueous surface. The possible physiological consequences of these observations are discussed. 相似文献

We have applied two-dimensional infrared (2D IR) and betanu correlation spectroscopy to in-situ IR spectroscopy of pulmonary surfactant proteins SP-B and SP-C in lipid-protein monolayers at the air-water interface. For both SP-B and SP-C, a statistical windowed autocorrelation method identified two separate surface pressure regions that contained maximum amide I intensity changes: 4-25 mN/m and 25-40 mN/m. For SP-C, 2D IR and betanu correlation analyses of these regions indicated that SP-C adopts a variety of secondary structure conformations, including alpha-helix, beta-sheet, and an intermolecular aggregation of extended beta-sheet structure. The main alpha-helix band split into two peaks at high surface pressures, indicative of two different helix conformations. At low surface pressures, all conformations of the SP-C molecule reacted identically to increasing surface pressure and reoriented in phase with each other. Above 25 mN/m, however, the increasing surface pressure selectively affected the coexisting protein conformations, leading to an independent reorientation of the protein conformations. The asynchronous 2D IR spectrum of SP-B showed the presence of two alpha-helix components, consistent with two separate populations of alpha-helix in SP-B-a hydrophobic fraction associated with the lipid chains and a hydrophilic fraction parallel to the membrane surface. The distribution of correlation intensity between the two alpha-helix cross peaks indicated that the more hydrophobic helix fraction predominates at low surface pressures whereas the more hydrophilic helix fraction predominates at high surface pressures. The different SP-B secondary structures reacted identically to increasing surface pressure, leading to a reorientation of all SP-B subunits in phase with one another. 相似文献

To investigate the role of the pulmonary surfactant-associated proteins SP-A and SP-B, the respective monoclonal antibody (anti-A or anti-B) was added to porcine pulmonary surfactant at a weight ratio of 1:2, and the mixtures were tested on surfactant-deficient immature newborn rabbits (gestational age 26 days). Under pentobarbital sodium anesthesia and mechanical ventilation with a 25-cmH2O peak insufflation pressure, the tidal volumes of the animals given surfactant alone and of those given surfactant containing anti-A were 27.9 +/- 5.1 and 25.1 +/- 9.6 (SD) ml/kg, respectively, whereas that of those given surfactant with anti-B was 5.8 +/- 3.6 ml/kg (P less than 0.05). The surface adsorption times of surfactant alone and of anti-A-containing surfactant were less than 0.8 s compared with greater than 120 s (P less than 0.01) for anti-B-containing surfactant. The anti-B suppressed the surfactant activity until the weight ratio was decreased to 2:100. The role of SP-A could not be clarified, but it was concluded that SP-B is an essential factor for surfactant activity. 相似文献
