Functional ion channels in pulmonary alveolar type I cells support a role for type I cells in lung ion transport. Proc Natl Acad Sci USA 2006; 103 :4964–4969. [ PMC free article ] [ PubMed ]Johnson MD, Bao HF, Helms MN, Chen XJ, Tigue Z, et al. (2006) Functional ion channels...
The alveolar epithelium is composed of alveolar type 1 (AT1) and alveolar type 2 (AT2) cells, which represent approximately 95% and approximately 5% of the alveolar surface area, respectively. Lung liquid clearance is driven by the osmotic gradient generated by the Na,K-ATPase. AT2 cells have...
The Type I Alveolar cells are the target of many insults, including ventilator-induced lung injury. These cells are useful in investigating the function and pathology of the respiratory system. Procedure Overview BioSafety Level II Organism Homo sapiens Source Organ Lung Growth Properties Adherent ...
Alveolar type II (ATII) cells inhibit fibroblast proliferation in coculture by releasing or secreting a factor(s) that stimulates fibroblast production of prostaglandin E2 (PGE2). In the present study, we sought to determine the factors released from ATII cells that stimulate PGE2 production in fib...
In this chapter we will briefly review the techniques available for isolation and culture of type II pneumocytes and describe in detail a technique for the rapid isolation of adult rat type II cells.doi:10.1007/978-3-0348-8855-4_15J. S. Lwebuga-Mukasa...
Alveolar type II cells that were isolated from organotypic cultures of fetal rat lung and maintained in primary monolayer culture were analyzed. Morphologically the cells retained many characteristics of type II cells in vivo. Biochemical analysis revealed that the cells contained and synthesized phosphati...
Rat alveolar type I cells proliferate, express OCT-4, and exhibit phenotypic plasticity in vitro. Am J Physiol Lung Cell Mol Physiol 2009.Gonzalez, R.F., Allen, L., and Dobbs, L.G. Rat alveolar type I cells proliferate, express OCT-4, and exhibit phenotypic plasticity in vitro. Am J...
Alveolar type I epithelial cells are attenuated, highly differentiated cells that do not divide; they cover approximately 90–95% of the alveolar surface. Since these cells have a large surface area, they are highly susceptible to injury. The main function of the type I cell is the maintenance...
Biology of alveolar type II cells 来自 Wiley 喜欢 0 阅读量: 139 作者: R Mason 摘要: The purpose of this review is to highlight the many metabolic properties of alveolar type II cells, their production of surfactant, their role in innate immunity, and their importance in the repair process...
