| Research Abstract |
CD34-positive cells were isolated from peripheral blood. These cells were differentiated to epithelial progenitor cells (EPC) using EBM-2 medium containing VEGF, FBS, and IGF. Using ARDS experimental model, dynamic change of endothelial cells was immunohistologically assessed by surface antigen. In bleomycin-induced acute lung injury, proliferation of blood vessels was observed. However, vascular proliferation did not occur in endotoxin-induced lung injury. We investigated the effects of rolipram (PDE-IV inhibitor), lidocaine, midazolam, propofol, ketamine (anesthetics) on proliferation of alveolar type II pneumocytes. Rolipram increased spontaneous proliperation and enhanced KGF/HGF-induced proliferation of rat cultured type II pneumocytes. Lidocaine, midazolam, propofol, ketamine had no effect on spontaneous proliperation and enhanced KGF/HGF-induced proliferation of type II pneumocytes. Anti-Fas antibody-induced apoptosis of neutrophils was enhanced by rolipram and not by the anesthetics. Immunohistochemical analysis using BrdU antibody revealed that rolipram increased DNA synthesis in type II pneumocytes in mice treated with KGF/HGF. Rolipram attenuated the pathological changes of the endotoxin-induced acute lung injury. This successful result of rolipram may be due to the effect of the drug on alveolar epithelial cells.
