Lung surfactant in subacute pulmonary disease

Abstract: Pulmonary surfactant is a surface active material composed of both lipids and proteins that is produced by alveolar type II pneumocytes. Abnormalities of surfactant in the immature lung or in the acutely inflamed mature lung are well described. However, in a variety of subacute diseases of the mature lung, abnormalities of lung surfactant may also be of importance. These diseases include chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, asthma, cystic fibrosis, interstitial lung disease, pneumonia, and alveolar proteinos… Show more

“…These two functions are facilitated by secretions, mucus in the upper airways, and pulmonary surfactant in the alveoli [57]. The main function of pulmonary surfactant, which is a mixture of lipids and specific proteins and is secreted by the type II pneumocytes, is the reduction of surface tension at the air-liquid interface, thus preventing alveolar collapse [58]. Surfactant proteins are classified as hydrophilic (SP-A and SP-D) and hydrophobic (SP-B and SP-C) proteins.…”

“…(1,2) Apart from enabling the breathing mechanism, LS is known to provide molecular mechanisms of innate and adaptive lung tissue immunity and to have anti-inflammatory properties. (3,4) Aside from the review by Hohlfeld (5) discussing in detail the role of LS system impairment and the possible use of LS formulations for BA, little research has been carried out so far to investigate the possibility of restoring pulmonary function and achieving stable improvement of clinical manifestations in BA patients by inhaled LS formulations.…”
