We present an experimental study of the interactions of negative and positive model particles and their influence on the surface elasticity of biomimetic pulmonary surfactant. In this purpose we have measured the adhesion force between negative (G) and positive (GS) particles and supported lipid bilayer by Atomic Force Spectroscopy. In addition, the modification in surface elasticity of lipid monolayer under quasistatic compression when interacting with negative and positive particles was investigated on a Langmuir trough. We found that, positive particles interact poorly with biomimetic pulmonary surfactant, therefore no modifications in surface elasticity were observed. Conversely, negative charged particles interact strongly with the biomimetic pulmonary surfactant, decreasing the surface elasticity. The results are directly relevant for understanding the interactions and the effects of particulate matter on pulmonary structures which could lead to pulmonary surfactant inhibition or deficiency causing severe respiratory distress or pathologies.

The influence of human albumin, α-globulin, and fibrinogen on the actions of porcine pulmonary surfactant in a pulsating bubble surfactometer has been investigated. All three proteins detracted from the ability of the surfactant to adsorb to the air–water interface. The proteins also reduced the ability of surfactant to lower the opening pressures of bubbles cycling between different sizes in suspensions of surfactant. This was equivalent to restricting the ability of the surfactant to achieve low surface tension during compression of the surface. Of the three proteins, globulin competed most effectively with surfactant during the adsorption process, and albumin competed the least effectively. The proteins also may have interfered with the processes of surface refinement, which usually yields a monolayer enriched enough in dipalmitoyl phosphatidylcholine to achieve very low surface tension (very low opening pressures in the bubbles). Of the three proteins tested, albumin was least deleterious to surface refining whereas globulin and fibrinogen appeared to be about equally detrimental to the process.Key words: pulmonary surfactant, surface tension, adsorption, adult respiratory distress syndrome, surfactant inhibition.
