Abstract

The onset and degree of injury occurring in animals that develop hyperoxic acute lung injury (HALI) is dependent on age at exposure, suggesting that developmentally regulated pathways/factors must underlie initiation of the epithelial injury and subsequent repair. Type II TGFβ receptor interacting protein-1 (TRIP-1) is a negative regulator of TGFβ signaling, which we have previously shown is a developmentally regulated protein with modulatory effects on epithelial-fibroblastic signaling. The aim of this study was to assess if type II alveolar epithelial cells overexpressing TRIP-1 are protected against hyperoxia-induced epithelial injury, and in turn HALI. Rat lung epithelial cells (RLE) overexpressing TRIP-1 or LacZ were exposed to 85% oxygen for 4 days. A surfactant protein C (SPC)-driven TRIP-1 overexpression mouse (TRIP-1AECTg+ ) was generated and exposed to hyperoxia (>95% for 4 days) at 4 weeks of age to assess the effects TRIP-1 overexpression has on HALI. RLE overexpressing TRIP-1 resisted hyperoxia-induced apoptosis. Mice overexpressing TRIP-1 in their lung type II alveolar epithelial cells (TRIP-1AECTg+ ) showed normal lung development, increased phospho-AKT level and E-cadherin, along with resistance to HALI, as evid...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

Cadherins and Catenins

Cadherins (named for "calcium-dependent adhesion") are a type of cell adhesion molecule (CAM) that is important in the formation of adherens junctions to bind cells with each other. Catenins are a family of proteins found in complexes with cadherin cell adhesion molecules of animal cells: alpha-catenin can bind to β-catenin and can also bind actin. β-catenin binds the cytoplasmic domain of some cadherins.
