Research Abstract |
Large surfactant aggregates (LA) is produced and secreted by alveolar type II cells. The surface-active LA is converted to surface-inactive small surfactant aggregates (SA) after lowering surface tension at the air-liquid interface in alveoli. In the present study, we developed in vitro surface area cycling technique, a piglet model of meconium aspiration syndrome, and 1st dimension thin layer chromatography to determine surfactant phospholipid composition. Then we demonstrated that surfactant subtype conversion was accelerated under the presence of meconium in vitro and in vivo. In addition, we demonstrated a diisopropylfluorophosphate (DFP)-binding protein in meconium with an apparent molecular mass of 30 kDa. Changes of surfactant phospholipid with surfactant subtype conversion under the presence of meconium suggested phospholipase A2 activity in meconium. Cell membrane damage due to meconium was also demonstrated in this study using red blood cell model. In conclusion, meconium affected extracellular surfactant metabolism and cell membrane damage of red blood cells. The increased rate of conversion by meconium may be responsible for surfactant dysfunction that occurs with lung injuries of meconium aspiration syndrome.
