Effect of unilateral diaphragmatic paralysis on postpneumonectomy lung growth.
Respiratory muscle-associated stretch has been implicated in normal lung development (fetal breathing movements) and postpneumonectomy lung growth. To test the hypothesis that mechanical stretch from diaphragmatic contraction contributes to lung growth, we performed left phrenic nerve transections (PNT) in mice with and without ipsilateral pneumonectomy. PNT was demonstrated by asymmetric costa...
متن کاملIdentification of dedifferentiation and redevelopment phases during postpneumonectomy lung growth.
Surgical resection of pulmonary tissue exerts a proregenerative stretch stimulus in the remaining lung units. Whether this regeneration process reenacts part or whole of lung morphogenesis developmental program remains unclear. To address this question, we analyzed the stretch-induced regenerating lung transcriptome in mice after left pneumonectomy (PNX) in its developmental context. We created...
متن کاملUpregulation of erythropoietin receptor during postnatal and postpneumonectomy lung growth.
Circulating erythropoietin (EPO) stimulates erythrocytosis, whereas organ-specific local EPO receptor (EPOR) expression has been linked to angiogenesis, tissue growth, and development. On the basis of the observation of concurrent enhancement of lung growth and erythrocyte production during exposure to chronic hypoxia, we hypothesized that a paracrine EPO system is involved in mediating lung gr...
متن کاملUpregulation of transcription factors in lung in the early phase of postpneumonectomy lung growth.
In the adult rodent, pneumonectomy results in compensatory lung growth characterized by cell proliferation. The molecular mechanisms governing this response remain unknown. We hypothesized that, in the early period postpneumonectomy, upregulated expression of transcription factors drives the growth process. We utilized a cDNA expression array to screen for upregulated transcription factors afte...
متن کاملHepatocyte growth factor stimulates proliferation of respiratory epithelial cells during postpneumonectomy compensatory lung growth in mice.
Although it is known that the lung undergoes compensatory growth after pulmonary resection, mechanisms by which lung cells exhibit compensatory proliferation are not well defined. We investigated the involvement of hepatocyte growth factor (HGF) in postpneumonectomy compensatory lung regeneration in mice, because HGF has mitogenic and morphogenic actions on lung epithelial cells. Following left...
