Streptococcus pneumoniae is the most frequent cause of community-acquired pneumonia. The infection process involves bacterial cell surface receptors, which interact with host extracellular matrix components to facilitate colonization and dissemination of bacteria. Here, we investigated the role of host-derived extracellular RNA (eRNA) in the process of pneumococcal alveolar epithelial cell infe...
We have previously demonstrated that lipopolysaccharide (LPS) induces production of macrophage inflammatory protein-2 (MIP-2), a C-X-C chemokine for neutrophil recruitment and activation, in primary cultured rat lung alveolar epithelial cells. We have also demonstrated that LPS depolymerizes microfilaments in rat alveolar epithelial cells. To determine whether the polymerization status of micro...
Acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) is a devastating disorder characterized by increased alveolar permeability with no effective treatment beyond supportive care. Current mechanisms underlying ARDS focus on alveolar endothelial and epithelial injury caused by products of innate immune cells and platelets. However, the role of adaptive immune cells in ARDS remains largely unknown. In this...
Currently there is no recognized biochemical or molecular marker for human parenchymal lung injury analogous to markers for acute myocardial injury. Injury to the alveolar epithelial barrier is of central importance in the pathogenesis of and recovery from acute lung injury. In animal models, an alveolar type I cell-specific protein, RTI(40), has been shown to be an accurate marker of alveolar ...
The epithelial cells on the alveolar surface of the human lower respiratory tract are vulnerable to toxic oxidants derived from inhaled pollutants or inflammatory cells. Although these lung cells have intracellular antioxidants, these defenses may be insufficient to protect the epithelial surface against oxidants present at the alveolar surface. This study demonstrates that the epithelial linin...
Connective tissue growth factor (CTGF) is a growth and chemotactic factor for fibroblasts encoded by an immediate early gene that is transcriptionally activated by transforming growth factor-beta. Previous studies have shown that both CTGF messenger ribonuclear acid (mRNA) and protein are expressed in renal fibrosis and bleomycin-induced pulmonary fibrosis in mice. The aim of the present study ...
Mairbäurl, Heimo, Katrin Mayer, Kwang-Jin Kim, Zea Borok, Peter Bärtsch, and Edward D. Crandall. Hypoxia decreases active Na transport across primary rat alveolar epithelial cell monolayers. Am J Physiol Lung Cell Mol Physiol 282: L659–L665, 2002. First published December 14, 2001; 10.1152/ajplung.00355.2001.—Hypoxia has been reported to inhibit activity and expression of ion transporters of al...
To investigate the role of chemokines during the initial local response to Mycobacterium tuberculosis in the human lung, we studied chemokine production by the human alveolar epithelial cell line A549 after infection with M. tuberculosis. M. tuberculosis-infected A549 cells produced mRNAs and protein for monocyte chemotactic protein-1 (MCP-1) and interleukin-8 (IL-8) but not mRNAs for macrophag...
