Ion transport in cultured pig tracheal submucosal gland acinar cells studied by X-ray microanalysis.
The submucosal glands of the airway may contribute more to the airway fluid than the surface epithelium. The cellular mechanisms underlying the regulation of electrolyte and water transport in airway submucosal glands are, however, still poorly understood. Therefore, we attempted to establish a cell culture system to facilitate study of this regulation. Acinar cells were isolated by enzymatic d...
متن کاملEvaluation of multifunctional targeted gold nanoparticles on X-ray attenuation in nasopharyngeal cancer cells by X- ray imaging
Introduction: Head-and-neck cancer is the sixth most common cancer worldwide with the number of cases consistently increasing in developing countries. Successful development of effective, safe and cost effective nanoprobes for head-and-neck cancer targeting imaging is a big challenge. This study is aimed to develop cysteamine-folate conjugated gold nanoparticles (F-Cys-AuNPs) a...
متن کاملActivation of chloride transport in CF airway epithelial cell lines and primary CF nasal epithelial cells by S-nitrosoglutathione
BACKGROUND It has been suggested that low microM concentrations of S-nitrosoglutathione (GSNO), an endogenous bronchodilator, may promote maturation of the defective cystic fibrosis (CF) transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR). Because nitric oxide (NO) and GSNO levels appear to be low in the CF airway, there is an interest in the possibility that GSNO replacement could be of therapeutic ben...
متن کاملChloride transport in rabbit esophageal epithelial cells.
We investigated Cl(-) transport pathways in the apical and basolateral membranes of rabbit esophageal epithelial cells (EEC) using conventional and ion-selective microelectrodes. Intact sections of esophageal epithelium were mounted serosal or luminal side up in a modified Ussing chamber, where transepithelial potential difference and transepithelial resistance could be determined. Microelectro...
متن کاملElectron probe X-ray microanalysis of cultured epithelial tumour cells with scanning electron microscopy.
Three methods have been used to prepare cultured cells for electron probe X-ray microanalysis (EPXMA): (1) analysis at the subcellular level of freeze-dried ultrathin cryosections with scanning transmission electron microscopy (STEM); (2) analysis at the cellular level of whole freeze-dried cells with STEM; and (3) analysis at the cellular level of whole freeze-dried cells with scanning electro...
