, and uPA
activities during normoxic vs. hyperoxic alveolarization
Developmental Biology Program, Childrens Hospital Los Angeles Research Institute, Los Angeles, California 90027
The final stage of lung
development, alveolarization, continues after birth in humans and
rodents. Clinical interventions, such as oxygen therapy, in the first
week of life can adversely impact alveolar formation. We
compared alveolarization in the rat neonate under normal vs. hyperoxic
conditions, examining gelatinase, transforming growth factor (TGF)-
,
and the protease urokinase-type plasminogen activator (uPA) activities
in whole lung and cultured type II alveolar epithelial cells
(AEC2). The dynamic induction of gelatinase, TGF-
, and uPA
activities seen in neonatal lungs during the first days of life was
significantly impacted by hyperoxia. In whole lung, gelatinase and
TGF-
activities were increased, while uPA activity was decreased. At
the level of the epithelium, AEC2 isolated from hyperoxic rat pups
early in life secreted less active TGF-
, less active gelatinases,
and less active uPA than control neonatal AEC2. AEC2 from
hyperoxic pups also expressed increased levels of proliferating cell
nuclear antigen early in life compared with control neonatal AEC2,
suggesting that oxygen-induced proliferation and/or repair were
occurring. The developmental profile of neonatal lung was perturbed
within a day of initiating oxygen treatment, suggesting that putative
palliative treatments should be coadministered with oxygen therapy.
