An intratracheal instillation of human neutrophil elastase (HNE) causes accumulation of an excess number of secretory granules in the epithelial secretory cells lining the hamster bronchus. This chronic lesion, which we refer to as secretory cell metaplasia (SCM), is not seen in the trachea or bronchioles. Because luminal cell surface lectin binding is much higher in the trachea than in the bronchus, we concluded that tracheal resistance may be due to a protective glycoconjugate coat. In the present ultrastructural study, we analyzed the lectin-binding capability of bronchiolar epithelial cells to determine whether their luminal cell surface glycoconjugate layer is similar to tracheal epithelial cells. None of the six ferritin-conjugated lectins showed higher binding in bronchioles compared to the bronchus, suggesting that a high level of surface oligosaccharides is not necessary for resistance to the metaplastic effects of HNE. HNE caused a significant reduction in bronchiolar surface binding of the gold-labeled, secretory cell-specific lectin, Helix pomatia agglutinin. The principal granulated secretory cell type in bronchioles was ultrastructurally similar to a form of bronchial Clara cell that converts to a mucous cell phenotype in response to HNE. The results suggest that absence of bronchiolar SCM is not attributable to a protective layer of cell surface oligosaccharides, a lack of cellular contact by HNE, or the presence of a morphologically distinct population of epithelial cells in bronchioles. |
