Abstract:
Objective To evaluate the effects of mechanical stretch preconditioning on endotoxininduced damage to human type Ⅱ alveolar epithelial cells.Methods Human type Ⅱ alveolar epithelial cell line A549 ceils at the logarithmic growth phase were seeded in 96-well plates at a density of 0.5 × 106 cells/ml (2 ml/well).The cells were randomly divided into 3 groups:control group (group C,n =12);lipopolysaccharide (LPS) group (n =36) and 5% CS + LPS group (n =48).The 5% CS + LPS group was further divided into 4 subgroups,and A549 cells were exposed to 5% cyclic stretch for 15,30,60 and 120 min in the 4 subgroups,respectively.LPS with the final concentration of 1 μg/ml was added after the end of mechanical stretch in the 4 subgroups,and A549 cells were incubated for 4 h.The apoptosis in cells was detected using flow cytometry and apoptosis rate was calculated.F-actin expression was determined using immunofluorescence.Results Compared with group C,the early and late apoptosis rates were significantly increased in LPS and 5%CS + LPS groups.Compared with the value at 4 h of LPS incubation in group LPS,the early and late apoptosis rates were significantly decreased,and the reconstruction of F-actin was reduced in 5%CS + LPS group.Conclusion Preconditioning with 5% cyclic stretch (15-120 min) can mitigate endotoxin-induced damage to human type Ⅱ alveolar epithelial cells.
