ab90716 staining Prosurfactant Protein C in A549 cells. The cells were fixed with 100% methanol (5 min), permeabilized with 0.1% PBS-Tween for 5 minutes and then blocked with 1% BSA/10% normal goat serum/0.3M glycine in 0.1%PBS-Tween for 1h. The cells were then incubated overnight at 4°C with ab90716 at 1μg/ml and ab7291, Mouse monoclonal [DM1A] to alpha Tubulin - Loading Control. Cells were then incubated with ab150081, Goat polyclonal Secondary Antibody to Rabbit IgG - H&L (Alexa Fluor® 488), pre-adsorbed at 1/1000 dilution (shown in green) and ab150120, Goat polyclonal Secondary Antibody to Mouse IgG - H&L (Alexa Fluor® 594), pre-adsorbed at 1/1000 dilution (shown in pseudocolour red). Nuclear DNA was labelled with DAPI (shown in blue).

IHC image of Prosurfactant Protein C staining in a section of formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded normal human lung performed on a Leica BONDTM system using the standard protocol F. The section was pre-treated using heat mediated antigen retrieval with sodium citrate buffer (pH6, epitope retrieval solution 1) for 20mins. The section was then incubated with ab90716, 1ug/ml, for 15 mins at room temperature and detected using an HRP conjugated compact polymer system. DAB was used as the chromogen. The section was then counterstained with haematoxylin and mounted with DPX.

For other IHC staining systems (automated and non-automated) customers should optimize variable parameters such as antigen retrieval conditions, primary antibody concentration and antibody incubation times.

Supplementary information

Prosurfactant Protein C (Pro-SP-C) often referred to as SPC or by its abbreviated form SP-C is a hydrophobic peptide critical for lung function. This protein has a mass of approximately 21 kDa and is expressed prominently in the alveolar type II cells of the lung tissue. Beyond its full-length variant various pro forms such as proSP-C are studied for their roles during protein maturation and trafficking. These pro forms are essential for producing the mature functional SP-C a critical component of lung surfactant which reduces surface tension in alveoli and prevents lung collapse.
Biological function summary

In surfactant homeostasis Prosurfactant Protein C associates with surfactant protein complexes where it interacts with phospholipids like phosphatidylcholine to stabilize the alveolar structures. As part of this complex it aids in reducing surface tension at the air-liquid interface in the alveoli and contributes to the host defense system by fostering pathogen clearance and modulating inflammation. The intricate processing of Pro-SP-C into its mature form involves fucosylation and other post-translational modifications which are key for functional surfactant activity.

Pathways

The role of Prosurfactant Protein C is integral to the surfactant metabolism pathway affecting lung function and homeostasis. This pathway is important for proper respiratory mechanics and is closely linked to other surfactant proteins like SP-B and SP-D. These proteins work together within the lipid-protein matrix of the surfactant to ensure proper alveolar deflation and reinflation during respiration. Disruption within these pathways can have significant impact on lung health and respiratory physiology.

Mutations or dysfunctions in Prosurfactant Protein C are linked to interstitial lung diseases including pulmonary alveolar proteinosis and idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis. These conditions often result from misfolded proteins or improper surfactant metabolism leading to compromised lung function. Connections with disorders like these highlight interactions between Prosurfactant Protein C and C-reactive protein uncovering underlying inflammatory processes. Therapy and research often target these protein interactions and modifications as understanding them holds potential for strategic intervention in surfactant-related pathologies.
