Exposure to cigarette smoke impairs alveolar macrophage functions during halothane and isoflurane anesthesia in rats.
BACKGROUND Smoking alters numerous alveolar macrophage functions and is an important risk factor for postoperative pulmonary complications. The authors therefore tested the hypothesis that smoke exposure impairs antimicrobial and proinflammatory responses in alveolar macrophages during halothane and isoflurane anesthesia with mechanical ventilation. METHODS Thirty control rats and 30 rats exp...
متن کاملSecretory and accessory cell functions of the alveolar macrophage.
We have attempted to address the requirements necessary for alveolar macrophage accessory cell function. We have also examined the in vitro and in vivo factors that must be taken into account when interpreting results from experimental studies. Differences in phenotypic expression by rat alveolar pleural and peritoneal macrophages are noted, as well as the differing expression of major histocom...
متن کاملAntigen sensitization modulates alveolar macrophage functions in an asthma model.
We have previously demonstrated that adoptive transfer of alveolar macrophages from allergy-resistant rats to alveolar macrophage-depleted allergic rats prevents airway hyperresponsiveness development, suggesting an important role for alveolar macrophages in asthma pathogenesis. Given that ovalbumin sensitization can modulate alveolar macrophage cytokine production, we investigated the role of ...
متن کاملThe alveolar macrophage.
The pulmonary macrophagic system is critical to the defense of the lung, keeping the alveoli clean and sterile and responding on demand with an adaptive outpouring of new cells into the air sacs. Under basal conditions alveolar macrophages, in common with other mononuclear phagocytes, are derived from the bone marrow. A population of macrophage precursors within the pulmonary interstitium provi...
متن کاملMacrophage-specific gene functions in Spi1-directed innate immunity.
The Spi1/Pu.1 transcription factor plays a crucial role in myeloid cell development in vertebrates. Despite extensive studies of Spi1, the controlled gene group remains largely unknown. To identify genes dependent on Spi1, we used a microarray strategy using a knockdown approach in zebrafish embryos combined with fluorescence-activated cell sorting of myeloid cells from transgenic embryos. This...
