Abstract:

Alveolar fluid clearance is driven by vectorial Na+ transport and promotes postnatal lung adaptation. The effect of insulin on alveolar epithelial Na+ transport was studied in isolated alveolar cells from 18–19-day gestational age rat fetuses. Equivalent short-circuit currents (ISC) were measured in Ussing chambers and different kinase inhibitors were used to determine the pathway of insulin stimulation. In Western Blot measurements the activation of mediators stimulated by insulin was analyzed. The ISC showed a fast dose-dependent increase by insulin, which could be attributed to an increased

We found that AEC were able to internalize and control bacterial growth and present antigens to T cells from immunized mice. In addition, both AEC and PuM exhibited distinct

Abstract:

The immune regulatory abilities of alveolar macrophages from C57B1/6 mice bearing a metastatic variant of Lewis lung carcinoma were determined. During early stages of tumor development, or before tumors metastasized to the lungs, alveolar macrophages did not affect or slightly enhanced T-lymphocyte proliferation; as tumor growth progressed, or following tumor metastasis, alveolar macrophages suppressed the T-cell response. Macrophage suppressor activity was probably not mediated by their production of PGE, since macrophages of tumor-bearing mice secreted less 2 PGE than did macrophages of norm

Abstract:

Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is a devastating progressive fibrotic disease affecting the lungs and causing chronic respiratory failure. In IPF, adult alveolar type II stem cells (ATII) cannot trans-differentiate to alveolar type I cells (ATI), and therefore, represents a relevant target in the progression of lung fibrosis. There are only two FDA-approved drugs for the treatment of IPF, which can only ameliorate the disease, but a permanent cure is not yet available. In this work, we showed that human ATII cells isolated from IPF patients displayed impaired trans-differentiation in vitro

Tissues arising late in evolutionary time, such as lung alveoli that are unique to air breathing organisms, have been challenging to generate in vitro from pluripotent stem cells (PSCs), in part because there are limited lower organism model systems available to provide the necessary developmental roadmaps to guide in vitro differentiation. Furthermore, pulmonary alveolar epithelial type II cell (AEC2) dysfunction has been implicated as a primary cause of pathogenesis in many poorly understood lung diseases that lack effective therapies, including interstitial lung disease (ILD) and emphysema.

A disruption in this immune homeostasis may result in respiratory inflammatory diseases, such as allergies or asthma. The alveolar epithelial type II cell and its secretory product, surfactant protein A (SP-A), have been linked to roles in adaptive immunity in the lung. The discovery that type II cells constitutively express major histocompatibility complex class II (MHC II) suggested that type II cells may fun

Abstract:

Indiana University-Purdue University Indianapolis (IUPUI)<br>The complex pathogenesis of emphysema involves disappearance of alveolar structures, in part attributed to alveolar cell apoptosis. The mechanism by which cigarette smoke (CS) induces alveolar cell apoptosis is not known. We hypothesized that ceramides are induced by CS via specific enzymatic pathways that can be manipulated to reduce lung cell apoptosis. CS increased ceramides in the whole lung and in cultured primary structural lung cells. Exposure to CS activated within minutes the acid sphingomyelinase, and within weeks the de no

Abstract:

>Magister Scientiae - MSc<br>Tobacco consumption and exposure to tobacco smoke is one of the biggest contributing factors to a growing epidemic of non-communicable diseases (NCDs), primarily cancers, diabetes, cardiovascular and chronic lung diseases which account for 63% of all deaths worldwide (WHO, 2011). An increased concern is in pregnant women who smoke. They not only expose themselves to nicotine, but also their unborn child. Cigarette smoking during pregnancy is associated with many developmental and growth complications. There are critical periods within the “program” that directs nor
