Amiloride-insensitive Na+ and fluid absorption in the mammalian distal lung.
The ability of the distal lung epithelia to actively transport Na+, with Cl- and water following, from the alveolar spaces inversely correlates with morbidity and mortality of infants, children, and adults with alveolar pulmonary edema. It is now recognized, in contrast to many other Na+ transporting epithelia, that at least half of this active transport is not sensitive to amiloride, which inh...
متن کاملReduction in systemic epithelial ion transport in septicemia-related pulmonary edema due to changes in amiloride-insensitive sodium transport?
TO THE EDITOR: In a recent review, O’Brodovich et al. (7) analyzed experimental evidence for the significance of amiloride-insensitive alveolar epithelial sodium transport in the mammalian lung. In a recent observational study of epithelial ion transport in children with meningococcal septicemia-induced pulmonary edema, indirect evidence of a systemic reduction in epithelial sodium transport as...
متن کاملEffects of cardiogenic edema fluid on ion and fluid transport in the adult lung.
We have previously shown that cardiogenic pulmonary edema fluid (EF) increases Na(+) and fluid transport by fetal distal lung epithelia (FDLE) (Rafii B, Gillie DJ, Sulowski C, Hannam V, Cheung T, Otulakowski G, Barker PM and O'Brodovich H. J Physiol 544: 537-548, 2002). We now report the effect of EF on Na(+) and fluid transport by the adult lung. We first studied primary cultures of adult type...
متن کاملCongenital diaphragmatic hernia prevents absorption of distal air space fluid in late-gestation rat fetuses.
We hypothesized that congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH) may decrease distal air space fluid absorption due to immaturity of alveolar epithelial cells from a loss of the normal epithelial Na+ transport, as assessed by amiloride and epithelial Na+ channel (ENaC) and Na-K-ATPase expression, as well as failure to respond to endogenous epinephrine as assessed by propranolol. Timed-pregnant dams w...
متن کاملAlveolar epithelial ion and fluid transport: recent progress.
Studies of epithelial ion and fluid transport across the distal pulmonary epithelia have provided important new concepts regarding the resolution of pulmonary edema, specifically the removal of edema from the distal airspaces of the lung. Overall, there is convincing evidence that vectorial ion transport across the alveolar and distal airway epithelia is the primary determinant of alveolar flui...
