Type II pneumocyte changes during hyperoxic lung injury and recovery

Journal of Applied Physiology

Abstract

Adult rabbits exposed to 100% O2 for 64 h and then returned to room air for up to 200 h, develop a lung injury characterized by decreased levels of alveolar surfactant followed by a rebound recovery. In the present study we isolated alveolar type II cells from rabbits at various times during hyperoxic exposure and recovery and measured rates of phosphatidylcholine (PC) synthesis, cellular lipid content, and the specific activity of glycerol 3-phosphate (G-3-P) acyltransferase, an enzyme that catalyzes one of the early reactions in phosphoglyceride biosynthesis. These biochemical parameters were compared with measurements of cell size and cell cycle phase by laser flow cytometry. Results showed that alterations in alveolar phospholipid levels in vivo correlated consistently with cellular lipid metabolic changes measured in isolated type II pneumocytes. In particular, alveolar pneumocytes isolated from lungs of rabbits exposed to 100% O2 for 64 h exhibited a 60% decrease in PC synthesis, cell lipid content, and G-3-P acyltransferase activity. All variables then followed a pattern of recovery to normal and ultimately supranormal levels beginning at approximately 3 days postexposure, at which point there was also a measured increas...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.
