چکیده انگلیسی
Prostaglandins synthesized by enzymatic reactions such as cyclooxygenases have been implicated in lung pathophysiology. The goal of this study was to delineate the pulmonary ontogeny of cyclooxygenase enzymes (COX-1 and COX-2) immunohistochemical expression and cellular localization in various microanatomic locations of lungs from pre-term, term, and post-natal lambs. Lung tissues were obtained at 115 and 130 days of gestation from pre-term lambs, 145 days (term; complete gestation), and 15 days post-natally. No significant differences were seen in lung COX-1 expression at various microanatomic locations during pre-term, term, or postnatally. Moderate to strong COX-1 expression was present in macrophages, alveolar septa, bronchial smooth muscle cells, bronchiolar smooth muscle cells, vascular endothelial cells, and vascular smooth muscle cells. Minimal COX-1 expression was present in bronchial and bronchiolar epithelial cells. Most microanatomic locations lacked COX-2 expression with the exception of weak expression that was present in bronchial and bronchiolar epithelial cells at 145 days of full gestation and 15 days post-natally. This work suggests that: (a) COX-1 is constitutively expressed in lungs from pre-term, term, and post-natal lambs in various microanatomic pulmonary locations, (b) there is differential expression of COX-1 and COX-2 in the developing lung, and (c) COX-2 does not appear to play a role in lung fetal development, at least in neonatal lambs.
