Hypoxia attenuates effector-target cell interaction in the airway and pulmonary vascular compartment.
Leucocyte infiltration is known to play an important role in hypoxia-induced tissue damage. However, little information is available about hypoxia and interaction of effector (neutrophils) with target cells (alveolar epithelial cells, AEC; rat pulmonary artery endothelial cells, RPAEC). The goal of this study was to elucidate hypoxia-induced changes of effector-target cell interaction. AEC and ...
متن کاملAcute lung injury: apoptosis in effector and target cells of the upper and lower airway compartment.
Apoptotic cell death has been considered an underlying mechanism in acute lung injury. To evaluate the evidence of this process, apoptosis rate was determined in effector cells (alveolar macrophages, neutrophils) and target cells (tracheobronchial and alveolar epithelial cells) of the respiratory compartment upon exposure to hypoxia and endotoxin stimulation in vitro. Cells were exposed to 5% o...
متن کاملThe Role of Anion Exchanger on Pulmonary Vascular Response to Sustained Alveolar Hypoxia in the Isolated Perfused Rabbit Lung
Background: Some respiratory diseases may induce alveolar hypoxia thereby hypoxic pulmonary vasoconstriction (HPV). However, the mechanisms of this physiologic phenomenon are not fully understood. This study was the first to investigate the role of anion exchanger in sustained HPV.Methods: Experiments were performed in the isolated perfused rabbit lung. After preparation, the lungs were divided...
متن کاملTarget-effector interaction in the natural killer cell system: isolation of target structures.
A sensitive target binding assay has recently been shown to detect natural killer (NK) cells in the mouse. Preincubation of NK cells with detergent-solubilized cell-surface proteins of YAC lymphoma cells prevented subsequent binding to intact YAC targets. The NK target structures (NK-TS) consisted of three molecular species tentatively assigned molecular weights of 130,000, 160,000, and 240,000...
متن کاملRapamycin attenuates hypoxia-induced pulmonary vascular remodeling and right ventricular hypertrophy in mice
BACKGROUND Chronic hypoxia induces pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH). Smooth muscle cell (SMC) proliferation and hypertrophy are important contributors to the remodeling that occurs in chronic hypoxic pulmonary vasculature. We hypothesized that rapamycin (RAPA), a potent cell cycle inhibitor, prevents pulmonary hypertension in chronic hypoxic mice. METHODS Mice were held either at normoxi...
