Alveolar Type 1 Cells Express the α2 Na,K-ATPase, Which Contributes to Lung Liquid Clearance

Abstract: Abstract-The alveolar epithelium is composed of alveolar type 1 (AT1) and alveolar type 2 (AT2) cells, which represent Ϸ95% and Ϸ5% of the alveolar surface area, respectively. Lung liquid clearance is driven by the osmotic gradient generated by the Na,K-ATPase. AT2 cells have been shown to express the ␣1 Na,K-ATPase. We postulated that AT1 cells, because of their larger surface area, should be important in the regulation of active Na ϩ transport. By immunofluorescence and electron microscopy, we determined tha… Show more

“…Adenovirus Infection Protocol-Rats were anesthetized with 40 mg/kg Nembutal intraperitoneally and orally intubated with a 14-gauge plastic catheter prior to adenoviral infection (15). Three experimental groups were studied: Sham-surfactant (n ϭ 6), Adnull (n ϭ 8), and AdSOD2 (n ϭ 10).…”

“…ATII cells were isolated from the lungs of male Sprague-Dawley rats by elastase digestion and culture in DMEM (Vagin et al, 2005;Ridge et al, 2003). The day of isolation and plating of rATII on transwell inserts was designated day 0.…”

“…A g-subunit can provide further tissue-specific regulation (18,19). In the lung, the Na,K-ATPase localizes at basolateral surface of ATI and ATII cells (20), moving three Na 1 ions out of the cell and two K 1 ions into the cell per ATP molecule consumed. The main function of the Na 1 -pump is the regulation of intracellular Na 1 concentration, which with other transporters regulates cell volume, as well as glucose and amino acid transport (21).…”
