Decreased surfactant protein-B expression and surfactant dysfunction in a murine model of acute lung injury.
This study examines the relationships between inflammation, surfactant protein (SP) expression, surfactant function, and lung physiology in a murine model of acute lung injury (ALI). 129/J mice received aerosolized endotoxin lipopolysaccharide [LPS] daily for up to 96 h to simulate the cytokine release and acute inflammation of ALI. Lung elastance (E(L)) and resistance, lavage fluid cell counts...
متن کاملProgressive lung disease and surfactant dysfunction with a deletion in surfactant protein C gene.
Mutations in the surfactant protein (SP)-C gene are responsible for familial and sporadic interstitial lung disease (ILD). The consequences of such mutations on pulmonary surfactant composition and function are poorly understood. To determine the effects of a mutation in the SP-C gene on surfactant, we obtained lung tissue at the time of transplantation from a 14-mo-old infant with progressive ...
متن کاملSurfactant-mediated growth revisited.
The x-ray structure analysis of the oxygen-surfactant-mediated growth of Ni on Cu(001) identifies up to 0.15 monolayers of oxygen in subsurface octahedral sites. This questions the validity of the general view that surfactant oxygen floats on top of the growing Ni film. Rather, the surfactant action is ascribed to an oxygen-enriched zone extending over the two topmost layers. Surface stress mea...
متن کاملSurfactant protein D is proatherogenic in mice.
Surfactant protein D (SP-D) is an important innate immune defense molecule that mediates clearance of pathogens and modulates the inflammatory response. Moreover, SP-D is involved in lipid homeostasis, and pulmonary accumulation of phospholipids has previously been observed in SP-D-deficient (Spd-/-) mice. Atherogenesis involves both inflammation and lipid deposition, and we investigated the ro...
متن کاملSurfactant mesophases mediated by colloidal particles
We have investigated effects of guest colloidal particles on the mesoscopic structures of a surfactant/water system by means of small angle neutron and x-ray scattering techniques. The addition of a small amount of colloidal particles between lamellar slits reduces the undulational fluctuations of lamellae and brings about a lamellar to micelle transition. On the other hand, on addition of coll...
