Abstract
We examined the ultrastructural features of the lung parenchyma and the expression
of apoptosis of the respiratory cells by TUNEL technique. Male Sprague-Dawley
rats (n=30) were intra-tracheally injected with cadmium (2.5 mg/kg) into both
lungs. The light and electron microscopic features of the lung tissues were examined
on Days 1, 3, 7 and 10 after the injection of cadmium. Specimen preparations
for the light and electron microscopic TUNEL stains were performed. Ultrastructurally,
on Days 1 and 3, the alveolar spaces were filled with edematous fluid, and
desquamated type I epithelial cells. On Days 7 and 10, the alveolar spaces and
interstitium were patchy infiltrated with young fibroblasts and some collagen deposition.
The light microscopic TUNEL stain showed that apoptosis of the alveolar
cells was most prominent on Day 1, and then the number of apoptosis was markedly
decreased on Days 3, 7 and 10. The electron microscopic TUNEL stain showed
the electron dense homogenous nuclear expression, and the formation of intranuclear
blebs which protrude to the outside of nuclei. On Days 7 and 10, there
are frequent apoptotic nuclear bodies in the alveolar macrophages. We could examine
the identification of the equivocal apoptotic cells and various morphologic expression
of apoptotic nuclei on the electron microscopic TUNEL stain.
