Reactive Species Mediate Inhibition of Alveolar Type II Sodium Transport during Mycoplasma Infection

Abstract: In the United States, mycoplasmas account for up to 20 to 30% of the 4 million cases of pneumonia reported annually and cause significant morbidity and mortality. Murine respiratory infection with Mycoplasma pulmonis reproduces the essential features of human respiratory mycoplasmosis. This model has revealed that reactive oxygen and nitrogen species (RONS) produced by the alveolar macrophage (AM) and surfactant protein A, secreted by the alveolar type II (ATII) cells, are essential for early clearance of resp… Show more

“…Furthermore, infection with Mycoplasma pulmonis has been shown to suppress the amiloride-sensitive current that can be recorded from such cells, and this inhibitory response occurs with no change to the overall abundance of the ␣-, ␤-, and ␥-ENaC proteins. However, assays of surface expression showed that infection with M. pulmonis caused a fall in the surface abundance of ␥-ENaC that occurred with no effect on ␣-ENaC (21). Subsequent studies of H441 cells must therefore explore the effects of hormonal stimulation, SGK1/PI3K expression, and cell-cell contact on the surface expression of ␣-, ␤-, and ␥-ENaC.…”

“…AFC Measurements-Alveolar fluid clearance was measured as previously described (7,23). In brief, mice were anesthetized and paralyzed by intraperitoneal injections of diazepam (10 mg/kg body weight; Hospira, Lake Forest, IL), ketamine (200 mg/kg; IVX Animal Health, St. Joseph, MO), and pancuronium bromide (0.04 mg; Gensia Pharmaceuticals, Irvine, CA).…”

“…However, the effects of Cl 2 inhalation on Na ϩ -dependent alveolar fluid clearance (AFC) in vivo as well as the mechanisms by which Cl 2 and HOCl damage ENaC have not been investigated. This is an important area of research as damage to ENaC has been associated with abnormal fluid transport in various forms of lung injury (7,(21)(22)(23)(24)(25).…”

“…Patch-clamp recording was measured as previously reported (38). Immediately before each experiment, a coverslip bearing primary ATII cells was removed from the culture plate into a recording chamber, which was mounted on the stage of an inverted fluorescent microscope (Leica DM IRB).…”
