Modeling nanoparticle-alveolar epithelial cell interactions under breathing conditions using captive bubble surfactometry.
Many advances have been made in recent years in cell culture models of the epithelial barrier of the lung from simple monolayers to complex 3-D systems employing different cell types. However, the vast majority of these models still present a static air-liquid interface which is unrealistic given the dynamic nature of breathing. We present here a method where epithelial lung cells are integrate...
متن کاملThe Effects of Amiodarone of Rabbit Lung Alveolar Cells
Purpose: The effects of Amiodarone on lung tissue and morphologic changes of alveolar cells. Materials and Methods: in this study, we used 21 mature male rabbits and they were divided into control and two experimental groups. Daily 80 mg/kg amiodarone was injected intra peritoneally to the experimental animals for one or two weeks. The control group received normal saline the same dose as amio...
متن کاملEffect of thalidomide on the alveolar epithelial cells in the lung fibrosis induced by bleomycin in mice
Introduction: Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is a relentlessly progressive and usually fatal lung disease of unknown etiology for which no effective treatments currently exist. In the adults type I and II pneumocytes, forms Components of the alveolar epithelial cells. In this study, we investigated the effect of thalidomide on the alveolar epithelial cells (type I and II pneumocytes) in ...
متن کاملToxic effects of oxygen on cultured alveolar epithelial cells, lung fibroblasts and alveolar macrophages.
Exposure to hyperoxia results in endothelial necrosis followed by type II cell proliferation. This suggests that type II cells are resistant to hyperoxia. Oxygen-induced lung injury may result from an overproduction of oxygen metabolites normally scavenged by antioxidants such as superoxide dismutase (SOD), glutathione peroxidase, catalase and reduced glutathione (GSH). Therefore, resistance of...
متن کاملInteractions of Francisella tularensis with Alveolar Type II Epithelial Cells and the Murine Respiratory Epithelium
Francisella tularensis is classified as a Tier 1 select agent by the CDC due to its low infectious dose and the possibility that the organism can be used as a bioweapon. The low dose of infection suggests that Francisella is unusually efficient at evading host defenses. Although ~50 cfu are necessary to cause human respiratory infection, the early interactions of virulent Francisella with the l...
