| Abstract | To characterize factor(s) contained in apical medium of primary cultured rat alveolar epithelial type II cell-like monolayers (RAECM-II) that enhance insulin absorption across alveolar epithelial cells.Primary rat alveolar epithelial cell monolayers cultured on Transwells in the presence and absence of 10 ng/ml keratinocyte growth factor for 6 days were dosed from the apical compartment with radiolabeled insulin in: newborn bovine serum-containing medium (SM), conditioned medium from apical compartment of rat alveolar epithelial type I cell-like monolayers (RAECM-I) (CMI), or conditioned medium from apical compartment of RAECM-II (CMII). At the end of 2 h incubation, basolateral medium was collected and amounts of transported radiolabeled insulin were determined using a gamma counter. In order to determine the molecular size range of the enhancing factor(s), CMII was centrifuged in 50 kDa molecular weight cut-off Centricon tubes, and both retentate and filtrate were used as separate dosing solutions. Heat denaturation and ammonium sulphate precipitation were used to determine if the involved factor(s) represent proteins or other smaller soluble factors. Transalveolar transport rates of a paracellular marker, $^{14}$C-mannitol, and fluid-phase marker, horseradish peroxidase, were determined in the presence and absence of the factors. Effects of temperature (4, 16 and 37°C) on radiolabeled insulin fluxes were also measured.Conditioned medium obtained from the apical compartment of RAECM-II, CMII, increased transport of insulin across the monolayers when compared to SM or CMI. The enhancing effect of CMII was retained in the precipitate following ammonium sulfate treatment and in the retentate after Centricon filtration. The enhancing effect of CMII was significantly decreased when heated at 80°C for 15 min. CMII did not affect the transport of $^{14}$C-mannitol or HRP, while its effect on insulin transport was decreased by 87% when temperature was lowered to 4°C from 37°C.Conditioned medium from type II cell-like monolayer cultures appears to contain protein factor(s) which seem to be involved in facilitating active transcellular transport of insulin across primary cultured RAECM-II. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
