Biaxial distension of precision-cut lung slices.
The mechanical forces acting on lung parenchyma during (mechanical) ventilation and its (patho)physiological consequences are currently under intense scrutiny. Several in vivo and cell culture models have been developed to study the pulmonary responses to mechanical stretch. While providing extremely useful information, these models do also suffer from limitations in being either too complex fo...
متن کاملElectric field stimulation of precision-cut lung slices.
The precision-cut lung slice (PCLS) technique is widely used to examine airway responses in different species. We developed a method to study nerve-dependent bronchoconstriction by the application of electric field stimulation (EFS) to PCLS. PCLS prepared from Wistar rats were placed between two platinum electrodes to apply serial rectangular impulses (5-100 Hz), and bronchoconstriction was stu...
متن کاملReproducible uniform equibiaxial stretch of precision-cut lung slices.
Simulating ventilator-induced lung injury (VILI) in the laboratory requires stretching of lung alveolar tissue. Whereas precision-cut lung slices (PCLSs) are widely used for studying paracrine signaling pathways in the lungs, their use in stretch studies is very limited because of the technical challenge of fixing them to a stretchable substrate, stretching them uniformly, or holding them in a ...
متن کاملProtective role of spleen-derived macrophages in lung inflammation, injury, and fibrosis induced by nitrogen mustard.
Nitrogen mustard (NM) is a vesicant that causes lung injury and fibrosis, accompanied by a persistent macrophage inflammatory response. In these studies we analyzed the spleen as a source of these cells. Splenectomized (SPX) and sham control rats were treated intratracheally with NM (0.125 mg/kg) or PBS control. Macrophage responses were analyzed 1-7 days later. Splenectomy resulted in an incre...
متن کاملProanthocyanidine alleviates lung damage induced by nitrogen mustard
Destructive properties of nitrogen mustard especially on respiratory system make it an effective chemical weapon with lack of an antidote. The aim of this study was to investigate the role of oxidative stress in mustard toxicity and the protective effect of proanthocyanidine. Rats were separated into three groups each containing fifteen rats. The three groups were control group which were expos...
