초록

In this study. we tried to investigate whether polymerized basic amino acid e.g. poly-L-lysine(PLL) which has the molecular weight under 10 kD significantly affects the physiological and stimulated mucin release from cultured hamster tracheal surface epithelial cells. Confluent primary hamster tracheal surface epithelial(HTSE) cells were metabolically radiolabeled with 3H-glucosamine for 24 hr and chased for 30 min in the presence of either PLLs or adenosine triphosphate(ATP) and PLL to assess the effects on basic or ATP-stimulated 3H-mucin release.
