An ultrastructural study of the response of hamster bronchial epithelium to human neutrophil elastase.

Abstract:

:The central intrapulmonary bronchi of hamsters were examined by transmission electron microscopy at varying times following intratracheal instillation of human neutrophil elastase (HNE) or its vehicle, saline. Two hours after HNE treatment, there was a marked irregularity of the surfaces of many nonciliated epithelial cells; a differential count of transepithelial cells (those with both a basal lamina and luminal border) demonstrated a significant decrease in the proportion of granule-containing (granulated) secretory cells and a corresponding increase in nongranulated secretory cells. By 3 days after HNE injection, the differential count had returned to control levels and cell surface alterations were less evident. By 8 days, the proportion of granulated secretory cells had significantly increased, while that of nongranulated secretory cells had decreased. Many Clara cells developed the characteristics of mucous cells so that mucous cells constituted 57% of the secretory cells compared to 14% for the saline controls. The mucous cells contained an increased number of mucous granules including bizarre forms never seen in controls. By day 16, the average mucous cell proportion had increased to 75%; the mucous cells were larger and contained many more secretory granules than at day 8. At no time was there evidence of overt cell injury or alteration of extracellular connective tissue due to HNE. Basal and pseudobasal cells, distinguished by the presence or absence of hemidesmosomes, did not change as a percentage of total nucleated epithelial cells. Saline had no effect on the differential cell count compared to untreated values. Our results indicate a strong likelihood that HNE causes early discharge of secretory granules and alters the phenotypic expression of Clara cells so that they produce abundant, often abnormal mucous granules. The mechanism of HNE-induced disturbance of epithelial homeostasis is unknown, but the early irregularity of nonciliated epithelial cell surfaces may signify an important event in the evolution of the resultant lesion.
