ABSTRACT

The incorporation of 14C Acetate into alveolar lipids has been studied in normal and silicotic rats. The surfactant was obtained by endobronchial saline lavage and the lipids were quantitated by thin-layer and gas-chromatography.

The rate of incorporation of 14C Acetate in comparison to control rats decreased in silicotic rats in spite of a high deposit of lipids in the alveoli.

1 . - Introduction

It has been shown by Baily (1963) that the administration of silica

at toxic dose leads to an increase in alveolar lipids. This increase

has also been observed in various toxic dustingsand especially

after Plutonium oxide administration, Masse (1971).

This anomaly is observed in the rat during the blockage of the

physiological alveolar clearance, Nenot (1971), Le Bouffant (1971).

It might either express a decrease in the turnover of alveolar lipids,

or it might be primitive and therefore condition the cellular motili­

ty which converges to the cellular mobilization.

Alveolar lipids are in great part produced by Pneumocyte II

Buckingham et al (1966), but alveolar macrophages which are

numerous in silicotic intoxication have also a synthetic activity,

Pfleger et al (1969).

In the present work, we compare the lipid composition of the alveoli

in normal and silicotic r a t s , with the tendency in alveolar synthesis

from l^c acetate introduced in the alveoli.

2. - Materials and Methods

2 . 1 . Animals

Ten male OFE rats kept in an heteroxenic state and weigh­

ing 350 g before being sacrified were used. After anesthesia

with Nembutal experimental silicosis was induced by an intra­

tracheal injection of 40 mg of Ni silica in 0. 4 ml of a sterile

physiological saline solution. 95% of the injected particles

were l e s s than 5 ,u in s i z e . The r a t s were kept in a conven­

tional environment for two months and compared to ten con­

t ro l s .

2 . 2 . 1 4 C Acetate Incorporat ion

14 150 ,uCi C Acetate having 50 - 100 m C i / m M were deeply

injected into the t r a c h e a . The react ion was blocked 15 minutes

after the injection of the labelled ace ta te by an in t r a t r achea l

injection of 5 ml of a solution 10 M of sodium ace t a t e .

2 . 3 . P repa ra t ion of Total Lipid Samples

Ext rac t ion of the a lveolar content was performed by lung

washing according to the method of Bra in (1968). A solution

of 50 ml was col lected. This solution contained: in t raa lveo la r

ce l l s , lipidie mice l lae showing the pic ture of mal ta c r o s s

when observed with c rossed niçois and centrifuging with the

ce l l s , free l ipids or combined with prote ins Pasqu ie r (1970).

The lipids were extracted by the Folch (1957) p r o c e d u r e .

Total l ipids were determined by weight . F o r the determinat ion

of phospholipids, the lipidie phosphorus was de termined by

the method of F iske and Subbarow, with about 3. 8% mean

concentrat ion of phosphorus in the phospholipids of the lung.

3 . - Lipid Analysis

3 . 1 . Thin - Layer Chromatography ( T . L . C . )

Lipid analys is was c a r r i e d out by th in - layer chromatography

without any p r io r separa t ion of neu t ra l l ipids and phospho­

lipids .

All th in- layer chromatographic p rocedures were authenticat­

ed with lipid s tandards ( > 98% pure) of known composi t ion.

F o r the separat ion of the l ip ids , a two dimensional T . L . C ,

was performed with a 250 ,u- thick layer of s i l ica gel HR:

(35 g Merck si l ica in 70 ml H O ) . Resolution of the l ipids

was attained in the following solvent s y s t e m s :

Lipid a r e a s were identified by exposing s tandards and sample

a r e a s to iodine vapour s . Individual components were visual iz­

ed by exposure to the following r eagen t s :

- 50% Sulfuric Acid for Choles terol

- Anthrone for Glycolipids

- Schiff-periodate (Niçois 1964) for d ig lycer ides , monogly-

ce r ide s and for identification of phosphatidylglycerol

(Pfleger 1969) in the phosphatidyl dimethanolamine spo t .

- Draggendorf for phosphatidylcholine and lipophosphatidyl-

choline.

Figure 1 and 2 reproduce the thin-layer chromatograms of

the lipid separation.

3.2. Gas-Liquid Chromatography

The lipids were refluxed in methanolic KOH for 2 hours to

transmethylate the fatty-acyl groups.

The free fatty acids were methylated with diazomethane ac­

cording to the method of Schlenk, Gellerman (1960). The

methyl es ters of fatty acids were analyzed on a Perkin

Elmer (Model 900) gas Chromatograph using stainless steel

colums (6 ft χ 1/8 in) packed with 10% ethylene glycol succi­

nate methyl silicone polymer (EGSSX) coated on chromosorb

W(H P) 80/100 Mesh. Columns were prepared and condition­

ed according to the procedure of Wood and Snyder (1966).

The columns were maintained at 170 + 0.1 e C , the dual

hydrogen flame detectors at 2 90°C and the flash heater at

270° C . The flow rates for the FID detectors were air

400 ml/min and hydrogen 42 ml/min. The flow rate of helium

car r ie r gas was 20 ml/min.

A 2. 5 mV, 250 mm strip-chart recorder was used at a chart

speed of 10 mm/min. The fatty acid methyl es ters from the

biological samples were identified by comparing their reten­

tion time with those of known standards. Percentage compo­

sition was determined by half-height analysis of the chroma-

3 . 3 . Radioactive Measurements

l^C radioact ivi ty was measu red in the following scint i l la tor :

POPOP : 0. 3 g - PRO : 5 g - Toluene: 11 with a liquid sc in­

ti l lat ion counter model SL 40 Inter technique. The a r e a s of

the identified spots were scrapped and analyzed d i rec t ly

without any p r io r ex t rac t ion . The radioact ivi ty was m e a s u r ­

ed by desintegrat ion per minutes , and the r e su l t s were com­

pared af te rwards .

this would mean that the l ipids sec re ted by Pneumocytes II unde r ­

In this medium of low metabolic activi ty but with prolonged effect
