A study of the two-way transport of horseradish peroxidase across the visceral pleura.
The authors report on a study of the transpleural transport of horseradish peroxidase after intrapleural and intracardiac application. Following intrapleural introduction, a retention of the marker on the apical membrane of mesothelial cells was observed, with subsequent transcellular transfer after incorporation into microvesicles. Following intracardiac injection, the marker moved out of the pulmonary capillaries across the endothelial vesicles and progressed to the pleural cavity across the intercellular spaces and mesothelial vesicles. With either route of injection, reaction product was noted in the basal lamina of the mesothelium, elastic membrane, alveolar macrophages and pneumocytes type II.
