The type II alveolar epithelial cell plays a critical role in the repair of lung injury by repopulating the entire damaged alveolar epithelium. We report our studies of the effects of known growth factors on the in vitro proliferation of isolated neonatal rabbit type II cells. Transforming growth factor-alpha (TGF-alpha) and epidermal growth factor (EGF) increased [3H]thymidine incorporation, cell number, and labeling index above control. Transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-beta) decreased [3H]thymidine incorporation, cell number, and labeling index compared with control. When added simultaneously, TGF-beta blocked the stimulatory effect of TGF-alpha or EGF. If TGF-alpha is added before TGF-beta, the ability of TGF-beta to block the mitogenic effect of TGF-alpha was diminished the later in time TGF-beta was added. If TGF-beta was added first, later addition of TGF-alpha had no effect. The current work demonstrates that specific growth factors, including some known to be produced by other lung cells, alter the proliferation in vitro of isolated neonatal rabbit type II alveolar epithelial cells.

D004815 Epidermal Growth Factor A 6-kDa polypeptide growth factor initially discovered in mouse submaxillary glands. Human epidermal growth factor was originally isolated from urine based on its ability to inhibit gastric secretion and called urogastrone. Epidermal growth factor exerts a wide variety of biological effects including the promotion of proliferation and differentiation of mesenchymal and EPITHELIAL CELLS. It is synthesized as a transmembrane protein which can be cleaved to release a soluble active form.

D004847 Epithelial Cells Cells that line the inner and outer surfaces of the body by forming cellular layers (EPITHELIUM) or masses. Epithelial cells lining the SKIN; the MOUTH; the NOSE; and the ANAL CANAL derive from ectoderm; those lining the RESPIRATORY SYSTEM and the DIGESTIVE SYSTEM derive from endoderm; others (CARDIOVASCULAR SYSTEM and LYMPHATIC SYSTEM) derive from mesoderm. Epithelial cells can be classified mainly by cell shape and function into squamous, glandular and transitional epithelial cells.
