Influence of external pH on ciliary beat frequency in human bronchi and bronchioles

Abstract

Ciliated respiratory epithelial cells have to tolerate variations in local pH caused by the respiratory cycle and potential ventilation-perfusion mismatches. We showed previously that peripheral bronchiolar cilia beat at a lower frequency than bronchial cilia, and have now investigated whether they show differences in tolerance to changes in pH. Using the image analysis system applied in the previous study, we compared variations in the ciliary beat frequencies (CBF) of bronchi and bronchioles sampled from human lung resections at various pH in vitro. Application of nonparametric tests (the variance of samples was not similar) indicated that CBF was not significantly modified when pH was varied between 7.5 and 10.5 for bronchi, and between 5.5 and 10.5 for bronchioles. Reversible and significantly lower CBF were observed below pH 7.0 for bronchi and below pH 5.0 for bronchioles. Extreme pH values such as 11.0 or 3.0 were lethal within a few minutes. Thus, respiratory ciliary beating is able to tolerate external pH variations between 3.5 and 10.5 without permanent impairment. In addition we found that alkaline pH values are more favourable than acidic ones and that bronchiolar ciliated cells are more tolerant to acidic pH than b...Continue Reading

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

Blastomycosis

Blastomycosis fungal infections spread through inhaling Blastomyces dermatitidis spores. Discover the latest research on blastomycosis fungal infections here.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia. Here is the latest research on the nuclear pore complex in ALS and FTD.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule. Discover the latest research on molecular barcoding here.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Chronic fatigue syndrome is a disease characterized by unexplained disabling fatigue; the pathology of which is incompletely understood. Discover the latest research on chronic fatigue syndrome here.

Evolution of Pluripotency

Pluripotency refers to the ability of a cell to develop into three primary germ cell layers of the embryo. This feed focuses on the mechanisms that underlie the evolution of pluripotency. Here is the latest research.

Position Effect Variegation

Position Effect Variagation occurs when a gene is inactivated due to its positioning near heterochromatic regions within a chromosome. Discover the latest research on Position Effect Variagation here.

STING Receptor Agonists

Stimulator of IFN genes (STING) are a group of transmembrane proteins that are involved in the induction of type I interferon that is important in the innate immune response. The stimulation of STING has been an active area of research in the treatment of cancer and infectious diseases. Here is the latest research on STING receptor agonists.

Microbicide

Microbicides are products that can be applied to vaginal or rectal mucosal surfaces with the goal of preventing, or at least significantly reducing, the transmission of sexually transmitted infections. Here is the latest research on microbicides.
