Environmental Pollutant Ozone Causes Damage to Lung Surfactant Protein B (SP-B)
Lung surfactant protein B (SP-B) is an essential protein found in the surfactant fluid at the air-water interface of the lung. Exposure to the air pollutant ozone could potentially damage SP-B and lead to respiratory distress. We have studied two peptides, one consisting of the N-terminus of SP-B [SP-B(1-25)] and the other a construct of the N- and C-termini of SP-B [SP-B(1-25,63-78)], called S...
متن کاملAllelic heterogeneity in hereditary surfactant protein B (SP-B) deficiency.
Inability to produce surfactant protein B (SP-B) causes fatal neonatal respiratory disease. A frame-shift mutation (121ins2) is the predominant but not exclusive cause of disease. To determine the range of mechanisms responsible for SP-B deficiency, both alleles from 32 affected infants were characterized. Sixteen infants were homozygous for the 121ins2 mutation, 10 infants were heterozygous fo...
متن کاملInterfacial reactions of ozone with surfactant protein B in a model lung surfactant system.
Oxidative stresses from irritants such as hydrogen peroxide and ozone (O(3)) can cause dysfunction of the pulmonary surfactant (PS) layer in the human lung, resulting in chronic diseases of the respiratory tract. For identification of structural changes of pulmonary surfactant protein B (SP-B) due to the heterogeneous reaction with O(3), field-induced droplet ionization (FIDI) mass spectrometry...
متن کاملNitric Oxide Inhibits Surfactant Protein B (sp-b) Gene Expression in Lung Epithelial Cells
Surfactant protein B (SP-B) is an essential constituent of pulmonary surfactant. In a number of inflammatory diseases of the lung, elevated nitric oxide (NO) levels are associated with decreased SP-B levels suggesting that reduced SP-B levels contribute to lung injury. In this study, we investigated the effects of NO on SP-B gene expression in H441 and MLE-12 cells, cell lines with characterist...
متن کاملLung Surfactant Protein A (SP-A) Interactions with Model Lung Surfactant Lipids and an SP-B Fragment
Surfactant protein A (SP-A) is the most abundant protein component of lung surfactant, a complex mixture of proteins and lipids. SP-A performs host defense activities and modulates the biophysical properties of surfactant in concerted action with surfactant protein B (SP-B). Current models of lung surfactant mechanism generally assume SP-A functions in its octadecameric form. However, one of th...
