Collagen breakdown during acute lung injury.

چکیده
Injury to the capillary endothelium and to alveolar epithelial cells of the lung may result in damage to the underlying collagen of the extracellular matrix. To examine this possibility, whole body irradiation, bleomycin injections, and exposure to hyperoxia were used to induce various types of lung damage in mice. The morphology of the lung and the cellular and protein content of bronchoalveolar lavage fluid were used to assess injury. Collagen breakdown was assessed from the hydroxyproline concentrations in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid. When lung cell injury was observed, protein leaked in to alveoli and hydroxyproline was detected in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid. An increase in hydroxyproline followed endothelial damage by irradiation and was greatly increased when type 1 epithelial cell necrosis also occurred after bleomycin injection or hyperoxia. Maximal concentrations of hydroxyproline occurred in mice showing respiratory distress after six days of hyperoxia. Concentrations returned to zero during the subsequent phases of cell regeneration and fibrosis seen after bleomycin injection and irradiation. There was little change in the cellular components of bronchoalveolar lavage fluid at any time. The results indicate that collagen breakdown occurs during acute lung injury and can be quantified in terms of the hydroxyproline concentration in lavage fluid. Such a change in the extracellular matrix might influence the subsequent division and differentiation of regenerating cells during repair.

Time-dependent changes of autophagy and apoptosis in lipopolysaccharide-induced rat acute lung injury
Objective(s): Abnormal lung cell death including autophagy and apoptosis is the central feature in acute lung injury (ALI). To identify the cellular mechanisms and the chronology by which different types of lung cell death are activated during lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced ALI, we decided to evaluate autophagy (by LC3-II and autophagosome) and apoptosis (by caspase-3) at different time point...
متن کاملType XVIII collagen degradation products in acute lung injury
INTRODUCTION In acute lung injury, repair of the damaged alveolar-capillary barrier is an essential part of recovery. Endostatin is a 20 to 28 kDa proteolytic fragment of the basement membrane collagen XVIII, which has been shown to inhibit angiogenesis via action on endothelial cells. We hypothesised that endostatin may have a role in inhibiting lung repair in patients with lung injury. The ai...

Validity of Spo2/Fio2 Ratio in Detection of Acute Lung Injury and Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome
Introduction: One ofdiagnostic criteria for Acute Lung Injury and Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome is pao2/fio2 (PF) ratio 300 for ALI or 200 for ARDS. This criteria requires invasive arterial sampling. Measurement of Spo2/Fio2 (SF) ratio by pulseoximetry may be a reliable non invasive alternative to the PF ratio. Methods and Materials: In a cross sectional study we enrolled 105 sample o...
