Bronchus, Primary

The primary bronchus, also known as the principal bronchus, is the main airway that branches off from the trachea and leads to the lungs.
It divides into the left and right primary bronchi, which then branch further into smaller secondary and tertiary bronchi.
The primary bronchi play a crucial role in the respiratory system, facilitating the passage of air into and out of the lungs.
Understanding the anatomy and function of the primary bronchus is essential for researchers and scientists studying respiratory health, disease, and interventions.

Details of the RALE score are provided in Figure 2. To determine the RALE score, each radiograph was divided into quadrants, defined vertically by the vertebral column and horizontally by the first branch of the left main bronchus. Each quadrant was assigned a consolidation score from 0–4 to quantify the extent of alveolar opacities, based on the percentage of the quadrant with opacification and a density score from 1–3 to quantify the overall density of alveolar opacities, unless the consolidation score for that quadrant was 0. The density score (1=hazy, 2=moderate, 3=dense) allows for more quantitative assessment of the density of opacification by quadrant. To calculate the final RALE score, the product of the consolidation and density score for each quadrant were summed for a final RALE score ranging from 0 (no infiltrates) to 48 (dense consolidation in >75% of each quadrant).
In the organ donors, chest radiographs obtained within 24 hours of lung procurement were scored for each donor, using the radiograph obtained closest to the time of procurement. Radiographs were scored by consensus of two physician reviewers without knowledge of clinical data or lung weight. In FACTT, each radiograph was scored independently by two physician reviewers blinded to treatment arm, in order to examine inter-observer reliability.

The CF bronchial epithelial cells CFBE41o-, with stable expression of F508del-CFTR or wild type CFTR, were obtained by Dr. J.P. Clancy (2 (link)). A549 and FRT cells were stable transfected with a plasmid coding for F508del-CFTR and carrying the resistance gene for zeocin. The three cell types were also transfected with the halide-sensitive yellow fluorescent protein (HS-YFP) YFP-H148Q/I152L (8 (link)). The culture media were: Coon’s modified Ham’s F-12 medium for FRT cells, DMEM/Ham’s F12 (1:1) for A549 cells, and MEM for CFBE41o-. All media were supplemented with 10% fetal calf serum, 2 mM L-glutamine, 100 U/ml penicillin, and 100 μg/ml streptomycin. For fluorescence assays of CFTR activity, FRT, A549 and CFBE41o- cells were plated (50,000 cells/well) on clear-bottom 96-well black microplates (Corning Life Sciences, Acton, MA). For short-circuit current experiments, 500,000 CFBE41o- cells were seeded into Snapwell permeable supports (Corning Life Sciences).
Primary human bronchial epithelial cells from F508del/F508del CF patients were cultured as previously described (9 (link), 28 (link)). Briefly, cells were initially cultured on plastic in proliferative serum-free medium, LHC9/RPMI 1640, and then cultured on Snapwell supports for 10-12 days with a differentiating medium.

Animals were killed and the pulmonary and systemic circulation was perfused with saline/EDTA to remove the intravascular pool of cells. Paratracheal and parathymic intrathoracic LNs were collected. Lungs were carefully separated from thymic and cardiovascular remnants and removed in toto, including the main bronchi and trachea. Due to the photosensitivity of the FITC material, organs from FITC-macromolecule–instilled animals were protected from direct light throughout the manipulation. Organs were thoroughly minced using iridectomy scissors and incubated for 30 min in digestion medium in a humidified incubator at 37°C and 5% CO2, according to a modified protocol 21. Organ fragments were resuspended, fresh digestion medium was added, and incubation was extended for another 15 min. After a final resuspension, very few organ debris were left. Samples were centrifuged and resuspended in calcium and magnesium–free PBS containing 10 mM EDTA for 5 min at room temperature on a shaker. Finally, the cells were subjected to RBC lysis, washed in FACS-EDTA, passed through a 50-μm cell strainer, and kept on ice until labeling. Cell viability after this procedure was consistently >95%.

Mucus was harvested from primary human bronchial epithelial (HBE) cell cultures as previously described [18] (link), [19] , [21] . Briefly, excess surgical tissue was procured by the UNC Tissue Core Facility. Normal human bronchial epithelial cells were cultured on a 0.4 mm pore-sized Millicell (Millipore, Billerica, MA) coated with collagen and maintained in air-liquid interface media (UNC Tissue Core) as described in [29] (link). Over a period of 6 weeks, confluent cultures developed cilia, generated and established a periciliary liquid (PCL) layer surrounding the cilia, a mucus layer, and the HBE culture transported mucus. Washings from >100 cultures were pooled and then concentrated against Spectra/Gel to the desired wt%. Concentrated mucus was dialyzed against PBS to insure isotonicity as previously described [18] (link), [21] .

Primary human bronchial epithelial cells (HBE) were provided by Nationwide Children’s Hospital Cure Cystic Fibrosis Columbus Epithelial Cell Core (Columbus, OH) without identifiers (exempt status from the Institutional Review Board). Primary HBE cells were cultured as previously reported in our lab [38 (link),70 (link)]. Briefly, primary human airway cells were seeded onto 6.5mm Transwell filters (Corning) coated with collagen Type IV (Sigma) with ~50,000 cells. Cells were seeded and fed with ROCK inhibitor-supplemented air-liquid interface (ALI) media on both sides of the membrane until optimal epithelial integrity was reached, as measured by an epithelial voltohmeter (~7 days; ~300 Ohms·cm2). Basal medium was replaced with PneumaCult-ALI (Stem Cell Technologies) differentiation medium, and cells were fed three times per week for ~3 weeks until fully differentiated. Cell differentiation and integrity of the bronchial epithelium were confirmed before each experiment. Cultures were also checked for absence of mycoplasma contamination.

Neuroendocrine precursor cells (ASCL1 +) were counted on E14.5, 5 µm thick sections, in a square of 400 µm2 around the first branch of the main bronchi. Of each genotype and each n, 3 sections were counted and the percentage of NE cells were calculated based on the total number of DAPI + nuclei in the airway.
Neuroendocrine cells (ASCL1 + or ASCL1 + /CGRP +) were counted on E18.5, 5 µm thick sections. Of each genotype and each n, 1 or 2 sections of the left lobe were counted and the number of NE cells were normalized to airway (SOX2 +) area present in the section.
Fluorescent intensity of SOX2 and SOX21 was measured in three different location which contained ASCL1 + NEBs, in proximal SOX2 + SOX21 + airway epithelium. The mean fluorescence intensity (MFI) was calculated by dividing the fluorescence intensity of ASCL1 + or ASLC1- region compared to the fluorescence intensity of the total airway epithelium at that specific location.
Fluorescent intensity of TRP63, SOX2 and SOX21 was measured in a 150 µm2 box in the main bronchi, in 3 sections of 3 different mouse lungs. The MFI was calculated by dividing the fluorescence intensity of TRP63 + or TRP63- region compared to the fluorescence intensity of the total airway epithelium at that specific location.

Male and female rhesus macaques (2–12 years of age) were obtained from the colony on Morgan Island, South Carolina, owned by the NIH National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID). The animals were divided into vehicle (n = 5) or treatment (n = 5 for MK-4482, n = 5 for PF-07321332, and n = 5 for the MK-4482/PF-07321332 combination) groups prior to infection. MK-4482 (DC Chemicals), PF-07321332 (DC Chemicals), and ritonavir (DC Chemicals) were first dissolved in DMSO and then resuspended to 5 mL total volume in food-grade peanut oil for oral delivery. Treated rhesus macaques received 130 mg/kg MK-4482, 20 mg/kg PF-07321332 + 6.5 mg/kg ritonavir, or the combination of all 3 compounds (130 mg/kg MK-4482 + 20 mg/kg PF-07321332 + 6.5 mg ritonavir) every 12 hours beginning 12 hours postinfection (hpi) and ending 84 hpi. Vehicle controls received similar volumes of peanut oil (5 mL) on the same schedule. Animals were infected with a total of 2 × 106 TCID50 of the SARS-CoV-2 Delta VOC by intranasal and intratracheal routes. Intranasal inoculation consisted of a 0.5 mL injection directly into each nare (1.0 mL total) with a Mucosal Atomization Device system (Teleflex). Intratracheal inoculations were performed with the use of a bronchoscope for deposition of 4 mL of virus directly into the main stem bronchi. All procedures were performed on anesthetized animals. Animals were monitored twice daily and scored blindly every morning by the same person for disease signs and progression as previously reported (19 (link)). Clinical exams were performed prior to challenge and at 0, 1, 2, and 4 dpi. Oropharyngeal, nasal, and rectal swabs, as well as whole blood and serum, were collected at every exam. BAL samples were collected at 1, 2, and 4 dpi. Animals were euthanized on 4 dpi and tissues were collected at necropsy.

More about "Bronchus, Primary"

The primary bronchus, also known as the principal bronchus, is a crucial component of the respiratory system.
It is the main airway that branches off from the trachea and leads to the lungs, dividing into the left and right primary bronchi, which then branch further into smaller secondary and tertiary bronchi.
Understanding the anatomy and function of the primary bronchus is essential for researchers and scientists studying respiratory health, disease, and interventions.
Primary bronchi play a vital role in facilitating the passage of air into and out of the lungs.
They are responsible for transporting oxygen-rich air into the lungs and removing carbon dioxide from the body.
Researchers often use various cell culture models and media to study the primary bronchus and its associated cellular processes, such as Bronchial Epithelial Growth Medium (BEGM), Fetal Bovine Serum (FBS), Penicillin/Streptomycin, and Dulbecco's Modified Eagle Medium (DMEM).
Cell lines like CC-2540 and BEAS-2B, which are derived from human bronchial epithelial cells, are commonly used in primary bronchus research.
The BEGM Bullet Kit and PneumaCult-ALI medium are also valuable tools for culturing and maintaining bronchial epithelial cells in vitro.
Transwell inserts can be used to create air-liquid interface (ALI) cultures, which mimic the natural environment of the primary bronchus.
