Abstract

To explore the effect of hepatocyte growth factor (HGF) on the proliferation, apoptosis and function of hyperoxia exposed Type II alveolar epithelial cells (AEC II) isolated from premature rat lungs, and to explore the mechanism of the protective effect of HGF on hyperoxia-induced lung injury. Type II alveolar epithelial cells from fetal rat lungs were cultured. After being purified, AEC II was randomly divided to 4 groups: air group (Air), hyperoxia group (HO), air plus hepatocyte growth factor group (Air+HGF), hyperoxia plus hepatocyte growth factor group (HO+HGF) . The mRNA levels of surfactant associated protein, SPs (including SPA, SPB, SPC) were measured by RT-PCR. The proliferation and apoptosis of AEC II were analyzed with flow cytometric assay and Western blot. (1) Compared with Air group, the apoptosis rate increased significantly in the HO group, while G(2)/M phase percentage and the protein expression levels of proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA) decreased significantly (P<0.01); the S phase percentage and the protein expression levels of PCNA increased significantly in the Air+HGF group. (2) In the HO +HGF group, the apoptosis rate was not significantly different, G0/G1 phase percentage decreased significantl...Continue Reading

Apoptosis

Apoptosis is a specific process that leads to programmed cell death through the activation of an evolutionary conserved intracellular pathway leading to pathognomic cellular changes distinct from cellular necrosis
