Proteins from primary cultures of type II granular pneumocytes have been examined by sodium dodecyl sulphate/polyacrylamide-gel electrophoresis to identify type II cell-specific proteins. The distribution of Coomassie Blue-stained bands in preparations of cellular proteins, culture medium, lavage and lamellar bodies have been compared. The most prominent stained band in the serum-free medium from type II cell cultures (HS1; Mr 39900) corresponds to a major protein in acellular sedimentable (20000 g for 30 min) crude surfactant obtained from rat lungs by saline (0.9% NaCl) lavage. A second protein (HS2; Mr 12000) is also found both in type II cell-conditioned medium and in lavage. Neither rat serum nor donor calf serum (used in the isolation of the type II cells) contains a protein co-migrating with HS1 or HS2 proteins. HS1 is also found in Coomassie Blue-stained gels of cellular proteins and of lamellar bodies isolated from whole lungs. Cultures of type II cells incorporate [14C]phenylalanine into HS1 and HS2 as shown by autoradiography of sodium dodecyl sulphate/polyacrylamide gels of culture medium. Rat lungs perfused in situ incorporate [35S]methionine into HS1 in the lamellar body fraction. A third protein (HS3; Mr 47000) is observed only in autoradiographs of cell culture medium; no corresponding Coomassie Blue-stained band can be identified in medium, in cells or in lung lavage. No protein bands corresponding to HS1, HS2 or HS3 are found in conditioned media from pulmonary alveolar macrophages, rat fibroblasts or bovine aorta endothelial cells. Two-dimensional gel electrophoresis of HS1 shows a single polypeptide with an isoelectric point of 6.3; HS3 appears as a chain of spots with a range of isoelectric points from 6.3 to 6.6. HS2 has not been identified on two-dimensional gels. The amino acid composition of HS1 does not differ significantly from that of surfactant apoproteins studied previously; however, HS1 is not detected by glycoprotein stains, nor does it appear to be a subunit of a thiol-linked multimer.
