Epithelial injury is a critical factor in the development of pulmonary fibrosis following multiple episodes of inflammation.
28S 33rd Annual Thomas L Petty Aspen Lung Conference from 6.2 ±0.8% in the normotrophic type II cells to 15.8±2.1% in the hypertrophic cells, compared to i.5±0.01% in type II cells isolated from saline-treated control animals. We conclude that the hypertrophic alveolar type II cells isolated after silica-induced lung injury are progressing through the cell cycle and maintain a commitment to DNA...
متن کاملEffect of exposure to silica on human alveolar macrophages in supporting growth activity in type II epithelial cells.
BACKGROUND The proliferative response of type II cells is an important event following silica-induced lung injury. Alveolar macrophages, when activated by fibrogenic agents, secrete various biological mediators which affect cell growth. METHODS Human alveolar macrophages from normal volunteers were incubated in serum-free medium or in the presence of increasing concentrations of silica. Alveo...
متن کاملEffect of thalidomide on the alveolar epithelial cells in the lung fibrosis induced by bleomycin in mice
Introduction: Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is a relentlessly progressive and usually fatal lung disease of unknown etiology for which no effective treatments currently exist. In the adults type I and II pneumocytes, forms Components of the alveolar epithelial cells. In this study, we investigated the effect of thalidomide on the alveolar epithelial cells (type I and II pneumocytes) in ...
متن کاملHypertrophy and hyperplasia of alveolar type II cells in response to silica and other pulmonary toxicants.
Alveolar Type II cells serve two major functions in the lung, both of which are essential for the preservation of normal lung function. First, Type II cells synthesize and secrete pulmonary surfactant, and second, they function as progenitor cells for maintaining the alveolar epithelium. The Type II cell population of the lung is quite sensitive to the deposition of toxicants in the distal lung...
متن کاملRegulation of alveolar macrophage and type II cell DNA synthesis: effects of ozone inhalation.
A characteristic reaction of the lung to inhaled ozone is an increase in the number of type II epithelial cells and alveolar macrophages (AMs). In the present study, we analyzed mechanisms regulating this response. Acute exposure of rats to ozone (2 parts/million, 3 h) induced expression of proliferating cell nuclear antigen, a marker of cellular proliferation, in both type II cells and AMs. Th...
