Effects of lung surfactant proteins, SP-B and SP-C, and palmitic acid on monolayer stability.
Langmuir isotherms and fluorescence and atomic force microscopy images of synthetic model lung surfactants were used to determine the influence of palmitic acid and synthetic peptides based on the surfactant-specific proteins SP-B and SP-C on the morphology and function of surfactant monolayers. Lung surfactant-specific protein SP-C and peptides based on SP-C eliminate the loss to the subphase ...
متن کاملSurfactant proteins SP-A and SP-D in human health and disease.
Surfactant proteins A (SP-A) and D (SP-D) are lung surfactant-associated hydrophilic proteins that have been implicated in surfactant homeostasis and pulmonary innate immunity. They are collagen-containing C-type (calcium-dependent) lectins, called collectins, and are structurally similar to mannose-binding protein of the lectin pathway of the complement system. Being carbohydrate pattern-recog...
متن کاملCoccidioides posadasii infection alters the expression of pulmonary surfactant proteins (SP)-A and SP-D
BACKGROUND Coccidioidomycosis or Valley Fever is caused by Coccidioides in Southwest US and Central America. Primary pulmonary infection is initiated by inhalation of air-borne arthroconidia. Since, lung is the first organ that encounters arthroconidia, different components of the pulmonary innate immune system may be involved in the regulation of host defense. Pulmonary surfactant proteins (SP...
متن کاملSurfactant Proteins SP-A and SP-D Modulate Uterine Contractile Events in ULTR Myometrial Cell Line
Pulmonary surfactant proteins SP-A and SP-D are pattern recognition innate immune molecules. However, there is extrapulmonary existence, especially in the amniotic fluid and at the feto-maternal interface. There is sufficient evidence to suggest that SP-A and SP-D are involved in the initiation of labour. This is of great importance given that preterm birth is associated with increased mortalit...
متن کاملcDNA cloning of ovine pulmonary SP-A, SP-B, and SP-C: isolation of two different sequences for SP-B.
Pulmonary surfactant promotes alveolar stability by lowering the surface tension at the air-liquid interface in the peripheral air spaces. The three surfactant proteins SP-A, SP-B, and SP-C contribute to dynamic surface properties involved during respiration. We have cloned and sequenced the complete cDNAs for ovine SP-A and SP-C and two distinct forms of ovine SP-B cDNAs. The nucleotide sequen...
