Human alveolar epithelial type II cells in primary culture
Alveolar epithelial type II (AEII) cells are a key structure and defender in the lung but also are the targets in many lung diseases, including acute respiratory distress syndrome, ventilator-induced lung injury, and pulmonary fibrosis. We sought to establish an optimized method for high yielding and long maintenance of characteristics of primary human AEII cells to facilitate the investigation...
متن کاملType II alveolar epithelial cell in vitro culture in aerobiosis.
A method of Type II alveolar epithelial cell culture in aerobiosis has been developed. Isolation of Type II cells was performed by digesting guinea-pig lung tissue with crude trypsin and elastase and using discontinuous Percoll density gradients. The Type II cells, as identified by light and electron microscopy, were cultured in aerobiosis for up to six days, in direct contact with the atmosphe...
متن کاملPrimary type II alveolar epithelial cells present microbial antigens to antigen-specific CD4+ T cells.
Type II alveolar epithelial cells (AEC) can produce various antimicrobial and proinflammatory effector molecules. This, together with their abundance and strategic location, suggests a role in host defense against pulmonary pathogens. We report that murine type II AEC, like their human counterparts, express class II major histocompatibility complex (MHC). Using a murine model of pulmonary tuber...
متن کاملOrganotypic culture of fetal lung type II alveolar epithelial cells: applications to pulmonary toxicology.
Techniques for isolation and culture of fetal Type II alveolar epithelial cells, as well as the morphologic and biochemical characteristics of these histotypic cultures, are described. Type II alveolar epithelial cells can be isolated from fetal rat lungs and grown in an organotypic culture system as described in this review. The fetal Type II cells resemble differentiated rat Type II cells in ...
متن کاملHypoxia reduces endothelin production by rat alveolar type II cells in primary culture.
The purpose of the study was to describe endothelin (ET) production and to characterize the effect of hypoxia on preproendothelin-1 (preproET-1) messenger ribonucleic acid (mRNA) expression and ET secretion by rat type II pneumocytes in vitro. Rat type II pneumocytes were incubated in a sealed chamber containing a normoxic (21% O2) or hypoxic (1% O2) atmosphere for increasing durations. Immunor...
