Benign pleural mesothelial cells have higher osmotic water permeability than malignant pleural mesothelioma cells and differentially respond to hyperosmolality
(2019)Background/Aims: Cell volume regulation is a critical mechanism for cell homeostasis and depends on the osmotic water permeability (Pf) of the cell plasma membrane. The Pf of human mesothelial cells is unknown although ... -
Comparison of the electrophysiological properties of the sheep isolated costal and diaphragmatic parietal pleura
(2007)1. Pleural permeability may contribute to pleural fluid turnover. The transmesothelial resistance (R-TM), is an established surrogate of mesothelial permeability. The aim of the present study was to compare the ... -
Effect of adrenaline on transmesothelial resistance of isolated sheep pleura
(2006)The effect of adrenaline on the transmesothelial resistance (R-TM) of sheep's visceral and parietal pleura was studied using the Ussing chamber technique. Basal transmesothelial resistance of visceral pleura was found to ... -
Hyaluronic acid levels are increased in complicated parapneumonic pleural effusions
(2011)Background and Aim. Hyaluronic acid (HA) is a component of extracellular matrix and may play a role in the pleural inflammation which is implicated in parapneumonic effusions.The aim of the current study was to investigate ... -
In silico transcriptomic analysis of wound-healing-associated genes in malignant pleural mesothelioma
(2019)Background and objectives: Malignant pleural mesothelioma (MPM) is a devastating malignancy with poor prognosis. Reliable biomarkers for MPM diagnosis, monitoring, and prognosis are needed. The aim of this study was to ... -
Insulin Alters the Permeability of Sheep Pleura
(2010)Aim: Insulin promotes ion transportation across epithelia, mainly kidneys, leading to water and electrolyte abnormalities, possibly causing 'insulin oedema syndrome', which rarely presents as pleural effusion. Direct ... -
Insulin-Induced Electrochemical Changes in Pleura are Associated with the Location within the Pleural Cavity
(2011)Aim: We investigated the effects of insulin on the electrophysiology of sheep pleural specimens obtained from the upper and lower parts of the pleural cavity and the insulin receptor abundance in these regions. Materials ... -
Matrix metalloproteinases 2 and 9 increase permeability of sheep pleura in vitro
(2012)Background: Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) 2 and 9 are two gelatinase members which have been found elevated in exudative pleural effusions. In endothelial cells these MMPs increase paracellular permeability via the ... -
mu-Opioid influence on transmesothelial resistance of isolated sheep pleura and parietal pericardium
(2006)The effect of morphine (mu-opioid receptor agonist) on the transmesotbelial resistance (R-TM) of sheep's pleura and parietal pericardium was studied using the Ussing chamber technique. Basal transmesothelial resistance of ... -
Pleural effusion osmolality correlation with pH and glucose level of pleural fluid and its effects on the pleural membrane permeability
(2021)Background and aim: Pleural effusions (PE) are a common clinical entity resulting from pathologies that affect the pleural space such as congestive heart failure, malignancy and pneumonia. The osmolality of the pleural ... -
Prehospital NSAIDs use prolong hospitalization in patients with pleuro-pulmonary infection
(2017)Objective Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) pre-hospitalization consumption might affect the course of pneumonia. We opted to assess the potential effects of pre-hospitalization use of NSAIDs in patients with ... -
Rapid effects of 17β-estradiol and progesterone on sheep visceral and parietal pleurae via a nitric oxide pathway
(2002)We investigated the effects of 17β-estradiol and progesterone on transepithelial electrical resistance (R TE) in sheep visceral and parietal pleurae. Specimens of intact pleurae from adult female sheep were used. The samples ... -
Role of Electrolytes and Glucose in the Insulin-Induced Electrochemical Effect in Sheep Pleura
(2010)Aim: Insulin induces electrochemical alterations in sheep visceral and parietal pleura, an effect abolished by the Na(+)-channel blocker amiloride and the Na(+)-K(+) pump inhibitor ouabain. The aim of this study was to ... -
The role of nitric oxide in pleural disease
(2021)Nitric oxide (NO) regulates various physiological and pathophysiological functions in the lungs. However, there is much less information about the effects of NO in the pleura. The present review aimed to explore the available ... -
Salbutamol Modulation of Ion Transport in Sheep Parietal Pleura Is Protein Dependent
(2011)The formation of pleural effusion during pulmonary edema is an important physiological mechanism of resolution of alveolar flooding. In cases of pulmonary edema resulting from acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) ... -
Silver nanoparticles alter cell adhesion and proliferation of sheep primary mesothelial cells
(2018)Background: Human exposure to engineered nanoparticles has been linked to pleural effusion, inflammation and fibrosis. Silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) are widely used in medical and domestic products, increasing the risk of ... -
Silver nanoparticles alter the permeability of sheep pleura and of sheep and human pleural mesothelial cell monolayers
(2017)Nanoparticles have been implicated in the development of pleural effusions in exposed factory workers while in experimental animal studies it has been shown that they induce inflammation, fibrosis and carcinogenesis in the ...
