Freshly isolated rat alveolar type I cells, type II cells, and cultured type II cells have distinct molecular phenotypes.
We used microarray analysis with Affymetrix rat chips to determine gene expression profiles of freshly isolated rat type I (TI) and TII cells and cultured TII cells. Our goals were 1) to describe molecular phenotypic "fingerprints" of TI and TII cells, 2) to gain insight into possible functional differences between the two cell types through differentially expressed genes, 3) to identify genes ...
متن کاملA patch-clamp study of histamine-secreting cells
The ionic conductances in rat basophilic leukemia cells (RBL-2H3) and rat peritoneal mast cells were investigated using the patch-clamp technique. These two cell types were found to have different electrophysiological properties in the resting state. The only significant conductance of RBL-2H3 cells was a K+-selective inward rectifier. The single channel conductance at room temperature increase...
متن کاملContribution of CFTR to apical-basolateral fluid transport in cultured human alveolar epithelial type II cells.
Previous studies in intact lung suggest that CFTR may play a role in cAMP-regulated fluid transport from the distal air spaces of the lung. However, the potential contribution of different epithelial cells (alveolar epithelial type I, type II, or bronchial epithelial cells) to CFTR-regulated fluid transport is unknown. In this study we determined whether the CFTR gene is expressed in human lung...
متن کاملExistence of a delayed rectifier K+ current in the membrane of human embryonic stem cel
Introduction: Human embryonic stem cells (hESCs) are pluripotent cells that can proliferate and differentiate to many cell types. Their electrophysiological properties have not yet been chracterzed. In this study, the passive properties (such as resting membrane potential, input resistance and capacitance) and the contribution of delayed rectifier K+ channel currents to the membrane conducta...
متن کاملassessment of potassium current in royan b1 stem cell derived cardiomyocytes by patch-clamp technique
embryonic stem cells are capable of differentiating to variety of cell tissues including cardiomyocytes. this developmental change is accompanied with a great deal of ion channel expression and functions. mouse stem cell derived cardiomyocytes were prepared and separated to yield isolated single cell suspension for cell current recording. in the present study some properties of the k + -current...
