LUNG DEVELOPMENT OLEKSANDR KUDIN
STAGES OF DEVELOPMENT
¡ Embrionic period
¡ Pseudoglandular stage
¡ Canalicular stage
¡ Sacular and Alveolar stages
EMBRYONIC PERIOD
¡ 2-7 weeks
¡ Appears as ventral bud to esophagus ~26 days
¡ Branches into two lungs at 33 days
¡ Lobar airways formed at 37 days
¡ Segmental airways at 42 days and subsegmental bronchi by 48 days
¡ Factors: Thyroid transcription factor-1, FGF-7, FGF-10, EGF. Fibronectin, Laminin, Collagen IV, PDGF.
PSEUDOGLANDULAR STAGE
¡ 5-18 weeks
¡ 15-20 generation of airway branching
¡ Epithelial development
¡ Growth of pulmonary vasculature
CANALICULAR STAGE
¡ 16-25 weeks
¡ Previable lung Potentially viable lung
¡ Formation of acinus, Development of potential air-blood barrier, beginning of surfactant synthesis
SACCULAR AND ALVEOLAR STAGES
¡ 24 weeks – term
¡ Further development of terminal sac
¡ Alveolarization ~32 weeks (at term 50-150 mln, continue to form well into adulthood)
MODULATORS OF ALVEOLARIZATION
¡ Negative effect
¡ Mechanical ventilation
¡ Ante- and postnatal corticosteroids
¡ Pro-inflammatory mediators
¡ Chorioamnionitis
¡ Hyperoxia or hypoxia
¡ Poor nutrition
¡ Positive ¡ Retinoids
¡ Thyroxin
FETAL LUNG FLUID
¡ Volume at term ~ 40 ml/kg
¡ Contains little protein
¡ Formation – active transport of Cl from interstitium into lumen
¡ Production rate 4-5 ml/kg/hr ~400 ml/day at term
¡ Some outflow into esophagus and some into amniotic fluid
¡ Both production and clearance important for lung development
PROTEINS OF SURFACTANT
¡ SP-A:
¡ Forms multimeric protein
¡ Serves as innate host defense protein and regulates inflammation
¡ Binds to pathogens, facilitates phagocytosis
SP-B: § Contained in lamellar bodies § Facilitates absorption of surface lipids and development of low surface tension
SP-C: § Associated with lipids in lamellar bodies § Deficiency Interstitial lung disease
SP-D: § Host defense molecule § Binds pathogens and facilitates their elimination
PRODUCTION OF SURFACTANT
¡ Type II cells
¡ Glucose, Ph, fatty acids – substrates for synthesis
¡ Lipoprotein complex condensed in lamellar bodies
¡ Stimulators of secretion:
¡ β-agonists
¡ ATP
¡ Mechanical stretch
SURFACTANT POOLS
¡ Term infant – 100 mg/kg. Preterm infants 5-10 mg/kg
¡ Infants with RDS normalize their surfactant pool by 4-5 days of life
¡ Secretion of surfactant takes longer than synthesis
¡ Half life of surfactant – few days
¡ 90% of phospholipids are recycled in neonates (Adults ~50%)
SURFACTANT POOLS AFTER EXOGENOUS ADMINISTRATION
¡ Increases both alveolar and tissue pools
¡ Function of administered surfactant improves within hours (transformation by lung)
¡ No feedback inhibition of native surfactant production
¡ Slow catabolic rate
SURFACTANT IN ALVEOLI
¡ Lamellar bodies Tubular myelin(reserve pool)
¡ New surfactant is squeezed out of this structure
¡ Old surfactant forms small vesicles that are cleared from airways
