Surface film formation in vitro by infant and therapeutic surfactants: role of surfactant protein B

Abstract: BACKGROUND Pulmonary surfactant provides an alveolar surface-active film that is critical for normal lung function. Our objective was to determine in vitro film formation properties of therapeutic and infant surfactants and the influence of surfactant protein (SP)-B content. METHODS We used a multiwell fluorescent assay measuring maximum phospholipid surface accumulation (Max), phospholipid concentration required for half-maximal film formation (½Max), and time for maximal accumulation (tMax).

“…With storage of supplemented calfactant at room temperature for 24 or 48 hours, STmin increased slightly but significantly, but remained in the normal range, whereas there was no significant change in time to STmin. Thus, there was no apparent adverse effect of budesonide on calfactant activity, in agreement with other observations (8,25), or on stability. Half-maximal repression values were calculated from dose-response experiments (mean 6 SD (n = 7).…”

“…The hypothesized higher efficiency of poractant-α may be related to two factors: 1) the phospholipid profile, as some minor phospholipids may protect surfactant from its catabolism; [58] 2) the hydrophobic protein content, especially for surfactant protein-B, which is needed to stabilize surfactant film and allow its spreading at the air/liquid interface and also to protect phospholipids from phospholipase- induced hydrolysis [59, 60]. While more basic research is needed to identify the best lipid profile, the role of surfactant proteins is well known, as older synthetic protein-free surfactants are clinically inferior to animal-derived surfactants, which at least carry some amounts of proteins [8].…”

“…Lamellar bodies are intracellular, easily measurable, surfactant storage granules released from type II-pneumocytes [8, 9]. Once in the alveolar space, lamellar bodies are subjected to the breathing cycle and form the surfactant layer adsorbed at the gas/liquid interface [9, 10]. Thus, lamellar body count (LBC) is an estimation of the available endogenous surfactant.…”
