Abstract

A potential role for paracrine secretions in lung organogenesis has been hypothesized (Alescio and Piperno, 1957). These studies present direct support for the paracrine model by demonstrating the presence of locally produced mitogenic/maturational factors in fetal rat lung tissue. Conditioned serum free medium (CSFM) from nineteen-day fetal rat lung cultures was shown to contain several bioactive peptides as detected by /sup 3/H-Thymidine incorporation into chick embryo and rat lung fibroblasts, as well as /sup 14/C-choline incorporation into surfactant in mixed cell cultures. Using ion-exchange chromatography and Sephadex gel filtration, a partially purified mitogen, 11-III, was obtained. The partially purified 11-III stimulates mitosis in chick embryo fibroblasts and post-natal rat lung fibroblasts. Multiplication in fetal rat lung fibroblasts cultures is stimulated only when these are pre-incubated with a competence factor or unprocessed CSFM. This suggests the existence of an endogenously produced competence factor important in the regulation of fetal lung growth. Preparation 11-III does not possess surfactant stimulating activity as assessed by /sup 3/H-choline incorporation into lipids in predominantly type-II cell cultures. These data demonstrate the presence of a maturational/mitogenic factor, influencing type-II mixed cell cultures. In addition, 11-III had been shown to play an autocrine role stimulating the proliferation ofmore »« less

Mesangial cells express PDGF (platelet-derived growth factor) mRNAs and proliferate in response to PDGF

Journal Article Shultz, P; DiCorleto, P; Silver, B; ... - American Journal of Physiology; (USA)

Platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF) is a potent mitogen for cells of mesenchymal origin and is released and/or synthesized by platelets, macrophages, endothelial cells and rat mesangial cells. In the present investigation, the authors found that human glomerular mesangial cells in culture release a PDGF-like protein which competes for {sup 125}I-PDGF binding to human foreskin fibroblasts and is mitogenic for these fibroblasts. The competing and to a lesser extent the mitogenic activities present in the conditioned medium are partially recognized by an anti-PDGF antibody. Northern blot analysis of poly(A){sup +} RNA from human mesangial cells demonstrates the expression of both PDGFmore »« less
Human prostatic cancer cells, PC3, elaborate mitogenic activity which selectively stimulates human bone cells

Journal Article Perkel, V; Mohan, S; Herring, S; ... - Cancer Research; (USA)

Prostatic cancer typically produces osteoblastic metastases which are not attended by marrow fibrosis. In the present study we sought to test the hypothesis that prostatic cancer cells produce factor(s) which act selectively on human osteoblasts. Such a paracrine mechanism would explain the observed increase in osteoblasts, unaccompanied by an increase in marrow fibroblasts. To test this hypothesis we investigated the mitogenic activity released by the human prostatic tumor cell line, PC3. PC3 cells have been reported previously to produce mitogenic activity for cells that was relatively specific for rat osteoblasts compared to rat fibroblasts. However, the effects of this activitymore »« less
Expression and function of fibroblast growth factor (FGF) 9 in hepatic stellate cells and its role in toxic liver injury

Journal Article Antoine, Marianne; Wirz, Werner; Tag, Carmen; ... - Biochemical and Biophysical Research Communications

Hepatic injury and regeneration of the liver are associated with activation of hepatic stellate cells (HSC). Fibroblast growth factors (FGFs) and their receptors are important regulators of repair in various tissues. HSC express FGFR3IIIc as well as FGFGR4 and different spliced FGFR1IIIc and FGFR2IIIc isoforms which differ in the presence or absence of the acid box and of the first Ig-like domain. Expression of FGF9, known to be capable to activate the HSC FGFR2/3-isoforms, was increased in HSC in liver slice cultures after exposition to carbon tetrachloride, as an acute liver injury model. FGF9 significantly stimulated 3-H thymidine incorporation ofmore »« less

Detection of paracrine factors in oxidant lung injury

Journal Article Tanswell, A - Research Report Health Effects Institue; (USA)

It is well recognized that the oxidant gases ozone and nitrogen dioxide cause lung injury at high concentrations and, as such, are considered to be hazardous air pollutants. What is not known is the upper limit of their concentration in ambient air that can be tolerated without causing lung injury. This uncertainty is due, in major part, to a lack of sensitive and noninvasive tests that can identify the presence of early lung injury after exposure to oxidant gases. The hypothesis underlying the studies reported in this document was that the changes in cell populations that occur in the lungmore »« less
Uptake of /sup 3/H prednisolone by fetal lung explants: role of intercellular contacts in epithelial maturation

Journal Article Leung, C; Adamson, I; Bowden, D - Exp. Lung Res.; (United States)

Epithelial maturation in the developing lung is accelerated by glucocorticoids and it has been suggested that a fibroblast-derived factor may be important in regulating this response. In the present study, uptake of /sup 3/H prednisolone by cultured explants of fetal rat lung is used to correlate cellular location of the steroid with changes in epithelial--mesenchymal cell relationships at different stages of development. At days 17 and 18 of gestation, there is substantial incorporation of steroid by epithelial and interstitial cells with no morphologic evidence of accelerated maturation. At days 19 and 20, uptake of prednisolone is maximal with preferential incorporationmore »« less
