Absorption in Canine Tracheal Epithelium

چکیده
The effect of lipopolysaccharide (LPS) from Klebsiella pneumoniae on the bioelectric properties of canine cultured tracheal epithelium was examined. LPS decreased short-circuit current (Isc), and its effects on Isc were reduced when Isc was inhibited by amiloride and indomethacin. We speculate that LPS may selectively inhibit Na+ absorption through the inhibition of prostaglandin synthesis by airway epithelium.

متن کاملRegulation of sodium absorption by canine tracheal epithelium.
To regulate the quantity of respiratory tract fluid, the airway epithelium either secretes chloride, Cl-, or reabsorbs sodium, Na+. Many secretagogues inhibit Na+ absorption, but the decrease may result from a fall in the electrochemical gradient for Na+ absorption. We examined regulation of Na+ absorption independent of Cl- secretion, by bathing canine tracheal epithelium in Cl--free, gluconat...
متن کاملCigarette smoke inhibition of ion transport in canine tracheal epithelium.
Inhalation of cigarette smoke is known to impair pulmonary mucociliary clearance. Active ion transport by airway epithelium plays an important role in maintaining effective mucociliary clearance by regulating the volume and composition of the airway secretions. To determine the effect of cigarette smoke on airway epithelial ion transport, the electrical properties and transepithelial Na and Cl ...
متن کاملErythromycin inhibits Cl secretion
We read with interest the report of erythromycin reducing chloride secretion in canine tracheal epithelium (1]. However, we would like to caution against extrapolating from dog to man. Canine trachea is virtually unique in its ion transport properties predominantly secreting chloride, a process which is stimulated by endogenous prostaglandin synthesis. The shortcircuit current of human airways ...
متن کاملcAMP-dependent absorption of chloride across airway epithelium.
Elevated levels of Na and Cl in airway surface liquid may play a major role in the airway pathology of cystic fibrosis (CF) (J. J. Smith, S. M. Travis, E. P. Greenberg, and M. J. Welsh. Cell85: 229-236, 1996) and could be caused by block of transcellular Cl absorption due to lack of a functional CF transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR). To test for transcellular absorption of Cl across non...
