Abstract
We have optimized a protocol for isolation of alveolar type II epithelial cells from mouse lung. Lung cell suspensions are prepared by intratracheal instillation of dispase and agarose followed by mechanical disaggregation of the lungs. Alveolar type II epithelial cells are purified from these lung cell suspensions through magnetic-based negative selection using a Biotin-antibody, Streptavidin-MicroBeads system. The purified alveolar type II epithelial cells can be cultured and maintained on fibronectin-coated plates in DMEM with 10% FBS. This protocol enables specific investigation of alveolar type II epithelial cells at molecular and cellular levels and provides an important tool to investigate in vitro the mechanisms underlying lung pathogenesis.
Keywords: Alveolar type II epithelial cells (肺泡Ⅱ型上皮细胞)Background
Alveolar type II epithelial cells play critical roles in alveolar integrity maintenance, surfactant protein synthesis and secretion, and defense against pulmonary infection of bacteria and viruses. Recent studies using mouse lung cancer models have proven that alveolar type II epithelial cells are a key cell of origin of adenoma/adenocarcinoma induced by chemical carcinogens and oncogenic mutations (Qu et al., 2015; Zhou et al., 2015 and 2017). To further expand our understanding of the role of alveolar type II epithelial cells in lung pathogenesis in vivo, isolation of alveolar type II epithelial cells is needed to allow for a precise mechanism analysis in vitro. Based on previous studies (Corti et al., 1996; Rice et al., 2002), a modified method was used in our laboratory to isolate highly purified, viable and culturable alveolar type II epithelial cells from mice (Zhou et al., 2015; Sun et al., 2016).
