Objective To reproduce a rabbit model of alginate immune pneumonia, and to study the pathogenic role of alginate on lung tissue. Methods Rabbits of group A, being challenged by saline, served as the control group. Rabbits of group B and C were immunized with seaweed alginate and bacterial alginate respectively. Body temperature,peripheral blood cells and the serum level of circulating immune complex (CIC) were measured after the challenge. Bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) specimens were incubated and bacterial colonies were counted. The cell number and differential count of BALF were made. The pathological changes of the lung tissue were observed under microscopy. Results In both seaweed alginate and bacterial alginate groups, the peripheral blood cell count and the number of bacterial colonies in BALF were similar to that of the saline group. However, the serum CIC levels and the cell count of BALF were increased significantly after the challenge. Under light microscopy, lymphocyte infiltration and lymphoid follicle formation around the bronchiolus were found in all alginate immunized groups, and there was also narrowing of bronchioli. Conclusion Both seaweed alginate and bacterial alginate could be used to establish the model of alginate immune pneumonia in rabbits. Alginate can cause inflammatory reaction and pathological changes in the rabbit lung, manifesting mainly peribronchilar lymphocytic infiltration and lymphoid follicle formation around the bronchioli.

Background Transforming growth factor-β1(TGF-β1) plays an important role in corneal woundhealing.The effects of TGF-β1 on the synthesis of extra cellular matrix (ECM) vary upon different concentrations.Previous studies focused on the effects of high concentration of TGF-β1 on keratocytes under the two-dimensional culture condition,and the effect of low concentration of TGF-β1 on the synthesis of ECM in keratocytes remains unclear.Objective This study was to investigate the growth of Pellet,a three-dimensional model of corneal stroma cells in vitro,and its ECM synthesis under a low concentration of TGF-β1.Methods Bovine corneal stromal cells were isolated from fresh bovine eyeballs by two-step digestion by collagenase and cultured using DMEM/F12 medium with 10% fetal bovine serum (FBS).Pellets derived fresh bovine keratocytes with culture medium containing 0.25 ng/ml TGF-β1 +5% FBS and 0.50 ng/ml TGF-β1 +5% FBS were established,respectively.The morphology of Pellets was observed under the natural light at 48 hours,1 week,2 weeks and 3 weeks after culture.In 3 weeks after culture,the cell structures was observed by hematoxylin-eosin staining,and Calcein-AM/propidium (Calcein-AM/PI) staining was used to assay the cell viability.Real-time flurorescence quantitative PCR and immunofluorescence technology were applied to analyze the expressions of α-smooth muscle actin (α-SMA),fibronectin (FN),type Ⅰ collagen (Col Ⅰ) and type Ⅲ collagen (Col Ⅲ) mRNA and proteins.RT-PCR was employed to detect the expressions of lumican (LUM) mRNA and keratocan (KERA) mRNA in the cells.Results Cells in Pellet clustered throughout the culture duration.Hematoxylin-eosin staining showed the mass red-dyed collagen fibers in both 0.25 ng/ml TGF-β1 +5% FBS group and 0.50 ng/ml TGF-β1 +5% FBS group,and most cells possessed complete structures.The death rate of the cells was (33.60±1.65)% in the 0.25 ng/ml TGF-β1 +5% FBS group and (30.90±0.78) % in the 0.50 ng/ml TGF-β1 +5% FBS group,showing an insignificant difference between them (t =0.144,P=0.887).The expressions of α-SMA,FN and Col Ⅲ proteins in 0.25 ng/ml TGF-β1 +5% FBS group were lower than those in the 0.50 ng/ml TGF-β1 + 5 % FBS group (tα-SMA =4.622,P =0.010;tFN =2.973,P =0.040;tCol Ⅲ =7.845,P<0.001),but the expression of Col Ⅰ in 0.25 ng/ml TGF-β1 +5% FBS group was higher than that in 0.50 ng/ml TGF-β1+5% FBS group (tColⅠ =4.022,P=0.016).The ratio of Col Ⅲ/Col Ⅰ in 0.25 ng/ml TGF-β1+5% FBS group was lower than that in the 0.50 ng/ml TGF-β1 +5% FBS group in both mRNA and protein level (tmRNA =-3.039,P =0.038;tprotein =3.215,P =0.032).The expression of LUM mRNA and KERA mRNA were detected in Pellet at different time points.The expression of LUM mRNA in 0.25 ng/ml TGF-β1 +5% FBS group increased over time.While in 0.50 ng/ml TGF-β1 +5% FBS group,the expression of LUM mRNA peaked at 1 week but declined at 2 weeks.The expression of KERA mRNA in two groups were all peaked at 1 week but declined at 2 weeks.Conclusions Low-dose TGF-β1 in Pellet can maintain the normal growth of keratocytes and synthesize ECM.The expression of ECM tends to the normal condition after reducing the concentration of TGF-β1,implying a scarless expression.
