Abstract:

SP-B and SP-C are two pulmonary surfactant proteins. They were isolated in the tear film in 2006 (Lukovic et al. 2006). The molecular mechanism governing lipid spreading in the tear film is not well understood and, along with their production in yeast (as an alternative to animal derived material) provide the motives for this research. To investigate the involvement of SP-B and SP-C in lipid spreading, SP-B and SP-C have been produced as recombinant proteins in Pichia pastoris yeast. SP-B and SP-C are cleaved from their proproteins to produce mature active proteins and both forms were produced

Thesis advisor: Mary F. Roberts<br>Thesis advisor: Eranthie Weerapana<br>Peripheral proteins from mammals often exhibit multi-domain structures and require metal ions such as calcium as co-factors. This dissertation investigates two types of such proteins -- pulmonary collectins (surfactant proteins A and D) and phosphatidylinositol-specific phospholipase C (PLC) delta1 -- and their interactions with model membranes. One approach to work around the complexity brought upon by such multi-domain protein structure is to use a truncated construct or an isolated single domain. For pulmonary collecti

Abstract:

Abstract Pulmonary surfactant is a lipid-protein mixture that lines the inner surface of the lung. The main function of surfactant is to reduce surface tension at the air-liquid interface, thus preventing alveolar collapse at the end of expiration. Lack of surfactant is the main cause of respiratory distress syndrome (RDS) in preterm infants. Very preterm babies are at risk of developing a lung disease called bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD). The surfactant proteins SP-A, -B, -C and -D have important functions in surfactant structure, homeostasis and innate immunity of the lung. The genes of t

Abstract:

Pulmonary surfactant is a complex mixture of lipids and proteins that lowers surface tension, increases lung compliance, and prevents the adhesion of respiratory surfaces and pulmonary oedema. Pressure can have an enormous impact on respiratory function, by mechanically compressing tissues, increasing gas tension resulting in increased gas absorption and by increasing dissolved gas tensions during diving, resulting in the formation of bubbles in the blood and tissues. The lungs of diving mammals have a huge range of morphological adaptations to enable them to endure the extremely high pressure

Abstract:

Lung cancer is a major cause of death in the world. Cancer chemotherapy is limited by adverse toxicities to normal tissues. Targeted delivery of anticancer drugs to lung cancer by inhalation would help to reduce these toxicities. Lipid based delivery systems have been shown to be effective in improving the delivery of a number of drugs and the potential of using non-ionic surfactant vesicles (NIV) to improve the delivery of Gemcitabine (Gem) was studied in this project. NIV were used to encapsulate Gem (Gem-NIV) for delivery by the pulmonary route. NIV were prepared using different concentrati

Genes involved in modulating the inflammatory response and genes increasing susceptibility to infection are proposed as modifiers of pulmonary disease severity. Polymorphisms selected f

Abstract:

The fetal lung undergoes extensive physiological and biochemical maturation prior to birth in preparation for its postnatal function as an organ for gas exchange. Pulmonary surfactant, a substance that reduces surface tension and prevents alveolar collapse, is produced by type II pneumocytes within the lung. Reduced ability to produce surfactant leads to neonatal respiratory distress syndrome. Synthesis of the phospholipid component of surfactant, phosphatidylcholine (PC), is stimulated by fibroblast-pneumocyte factor (FPF), a protein expressed by fibroblast cells within the fetal lung.

Abstract Deficiency of pulmonary surfactant is the main cause of respiratory distress syndrome (RDS) in premature newborn infants, which is often complicated by chronic lung disease (CLD). Preterm birth is often associated with intra-amniotic infection (IUI), which is characterized by increased proinflammatory cytokines, such as interleukin-1 (IL-1) and tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), in the amniotic fluid. In very preterm birth due to IUI, the incidence of RDS is decreased, while the incidence of CLD is increased. Maternal glucocorticoids are used in imminent preterm birth to prevent RDS. Th
