Inhibition of Ca2+ influx by surfactant in NR8383 alveolar macrophages.
Inflamm Res. 2008; (10): 489-96
Pulmonary surfactants reduce alveolar surface tension and alter inflammatory cell function. We studied the effects of surfactant preparations on Ca2+ influx regulated by protein kinase C (PKC) and mitogen-activated protein kinases (MAPK) and cytokine secretion in the alveolar macrophage (AM) cell line NR8383.
