The effect of O2on surfactant protein (SP) A mRNA transcription and half-life was determined in midtrimester human fetal lung tissue cultured in either 20 (control) or 70% O2. Incubation of tissues in 70% O2resulted in a 133% increase in SP-A mRNA transcription rate compared with control tissues. The SP-A mRNA half-life was increased by 54% in lung tissues cultured in 70% O2vs. control tissues. Western blot analysis indicated a threefold increase in SP-A in the 70% O2condition, demonstrating that O2regulation of SP-A mRNA levels results in corresponding changes in SP-A levels. Primer extension assays were performed to determine whether the observed increase in SP-A mRNA levels is secondary to the preferential expression of one of the human SP-A genes, SP-A1 or SP-A2. Transcripts of both the SP-A1 and SP-A2 genes were increased ∼100% in tissues maintained in 70% O2compared with control tissues. These data demonstrate that O2regulates human SP-A mRNA levels by both transcriptional and posttranscriptional mechanisms. Furthermore, because there is no differential effect of O2on the expression of SP-A1 vs. SP-A2 mRNA, the properties of these genes that mediate regulation by O2must be conserved between the two genes.
