In vitro dissolution of uranium oxide by baboon alveolar macrophages.
In vitro cellular dissolution tests for insoluble forms of uranium oxide are technically difficult with conventional methodology using adherent alveolar macrophages. The limited number of cells per flask and the slow dissolution rate in a large volume of nutritive medium are obvious restricting factors. Macrophages in suspension cannot be substituted because they represent different and poorly ...
متن کاملPhagolysosomal pH and dissolution of cobalt oxide particles by alveolar macrophages.
We studied phagolysosomal pH in rabbit alveolar macrophages (AM) incubated with 0-15 microM chloroquine. There was a dose-related increase in pH with chloroquine concentration. Electron microscopy showed that chloroquine increased lysosomal size. In a second experiment we studied dissolution of radiolabeled cobalt oxide particles by rabbit AM, phagolysosomal pH, and lysosomal size. The cells we...
متن کاملIntracellular particle dissolution in alveolar macrophages.
Aerosol particles deposited in the lungs that are not readily soluble in the epithelial lining fluid will be phagocytized by alveolar macrophages (AM). Inside the phagolysosomal vacuole, the constituents of the plasma allow dissolution of a variety of compounds at a higher rate than dissolution in extracellular lung fluids. Chelator concentration and a pH value of about 5 were found to control ...
متن کاملDissolution of metals by human and rabbit alveolar macrophages.
The ability of human and rabbit alveolar macrophages to dissolve 0.1-0.5 micron MnO2 particles in vitro was compared. The amount of Mn added and dissolved from the particles over periods of nought, one, and three days was determined by flame atomic absorption spectrophotometry. The amount dissolved by human and rabbit macrophages was similar; on average 43.1% and 43.9%, respectively, were disso...
متن کاملMetabolism of phosphatidylglycerol by alveolar macrophages in vitro.
In whole animal studies, it has been shown that turnover of surfactant dipalmitoylphosphatidylglycerol (DPPG) is faster than that of dipalmitoylphosphatidylcholine (DPPC). The goal of this investigation was to characterize the metabolism of DPPG by alveolar macrophages and to determine whether they contribute to the faster alveolar clearance of DPPG. Isolated rat alveolar macrophages were incub...
