Phospholipid and protein analysis of pulmonary surfactant.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Quantitative analysis of the phospholipid composition of pulmonary surfactant preparations has been achieved by a modification of the phosphorus-31 nuclear magnetic resonance method of E London and G Feigenson (J. Lipid Res. 20, 408-412, 1979). Resolution of the protein components by a 2-dimensional isoelectric-focussing-SDS/polyacrylamide-gel-electrophoresis technique is reported for the first time.

Surfactant protein A regulates surfactant phospholipid clearance after LPS-induced injury in vivo.
Previous in vitro studies have suggested that surfactant protein A (SP-A) may play a role in pulmonary surfactant homeostasis by mediating surfactant secretion and clearance. However, mice made deficient in SP-A [SP-A (-/-) animals] have relatively normal levels of surfactant compared with wild-type SP-A (+/+) animals. We hypothesize that SP-A may play a role in surfactant homeostasis after acu...
متن کاملAge-dependency of surfactant phospholipids and surfactant protein A in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid of children without bronchopulmonary disease.
Whilst alterations in surfactant components of bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) have been described in a variety of pulmonary diseases in adults, no information is available on the surfactant composition in children beyond the neonatal period. In order to obtain reference values for the paediatric age group, we have studied phospholipid profiles of BALF in children without pulmonary disease....
متن کاملAltered airway surfactant phospholipid composition and reduced lung function in asthma.
Pulmonary surfactant in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) and induced sputum from adults with stable asthma (n = 36) and healthy controls (n = 12) was analyzed for phospholipid and protein compositions and function. Asthmatic subjects were graded as mild, moderate, or severe. Phospholipid compositions of BALF and sputum from control subjects were similar and characteristic of surfactant. For ...

BACKGROUND Extensive biochemical and biophysical changes of the pulmonary surfactant system occur in the acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). METHODS The effect of intrabronchial administration of a recombinant surfactant protein C-based surfactant preparation (Venticute) on gas exchange, surfactant composition and function was investigated in 31 patients with ARDS in a randomised cont...
متن کاملBronchoalveolar lavage phospholipid abnormalities in HIV-infected patients.
Our aim was to evaluate the quality of pulmonary surfactant, a nonspecific defence system, during the course of human immunodeficiency virus) infection. Protein and phospholipid composition were determined in 127 bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) fluids from 89 HIV seropositive patients (54 acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS), 35 non-AIDS) and 11 healthy controls. In all of the HIV BAL sample...
