In 1943, Rosen Included an excellent and detailed account of early observations of pulmonary pigmentation by many 18th and 19th century pathologials in a velume on The History. of. Mlnve Dis- eases.l Many theories were expounded re- garding the origin of the pigment; In 1847, VirdwwR auaunsuized the lwwledge to that time in a detailed papec which referred to a number of earlier theories and apressed the opinion that "das Iungenschwaez" was 'Sold blood-pigment." He analyzed some diespated material and found resemblances to b,eaaatin and gall pigments. Virchoavt and 8chetds both observed the presence of inon. In 1862, Rebsamea" differentiated the pigment in hn man lymph nodes Into progreastvely more highly oolored types, from yellow throagh brown to bladc. Later, in I866, Koedtldooffs concluded that the pigment was aoogiaous on the basis of Its placement near alveolar oell membranes. McLean,S in 1957, dealt extensively with the problem and attempted to relate- origin to intraoellular distributton. He found that all adult lungs had pigment yhen enmined under a microscope, whether or not they ex- hibited focal emphysema. The pigment was present In discreet densely black partides about 15µ in diameter.

The fraction with the blackest color was, in each case, the mitochondrial fraction. is was then distributed in test tubes and ex- tracted with a number of solvents with alter- pate shaking and standing at room tempera- ture. In some cases, the extraction was carried out after conversion of the centrifuged material into an acetone powder. The powder was pre- pared with 30 volumes of cold acetone, and ' .vashed with three volumes of cold acetone fol- lowed by additional washing with three vol- umes of cold ether. Another series of solvent extractions were prried out on a fraction prepared by the treat- ment of a homogenate with sonic oscillation ao- cording to the method of Hendleyio except 'thhat a Potter-Elvehjem homogenizer was used Io:tead of a blender and a single centrifugation at 12,000 X g was carried out. The final method of preparation was as fol- 1owt: under a dissecting microscope, frozen V dioes of lung were divided into pieces about 1 tcn mm and separated into pigmented and non- pitmented bits. The total quantity for each 'ed from Fitzpatrick and Hospelhornli was car- ; rbd out as follows: 1 ml of 1% aqueous oollage- `asse (ctoatridiopeptidase A) was added to the ~ titsne suspension and the preparation was in- ~ onbated at 87 C for 24 hours. Another tailliliter ft: . of the same enzyme solution was added and the Incubation was continued for another 24 hours. Next„ I tnl of aqueous pronase (streptotqyces i.grtseus proteaae, grade B) 15 to 25 units per ~ mtlh'liter was added to the mixture (4 ml etba- ;ad were added to inhibit bacterial growth) and Qte mixture was incubated 24 hours at 87 C.

' 8olubiltty Studies.~--In addition to the above atentloned solvent extractions carried out on .bomogenates or sonicates, we attempted to ex- ~tract the dark-colored pigment from the dried ` % teaidue prepared by enzymatic hydrolysis as ~described above- These experiments were done ' as followa- bits of dried black residue and of control tissue were finely divided with scissors and placed in test tubes. The aphroprialc sol- vents were added and the tubes were heated to 60 C for several hours and allowed to cool. The heating and cooling was repeated twice. Among the solvents tested were 10% acetic acid in chloroform, 5% potassium hydroxide in rnethanol, 10% hydrochloric acid in methanol, glacial acetic acid. sodium methoxide in metha- atol, 1% sodium desoxycholate, toluene, 1; sodium dodecyl sulfate, 5% sodium hydroxide, dintetbyl sulfoxide, and 50% pyridine in water. Infrared Spectroseopy.--The infrared ab- sorption spectrophotometry was done using 1 X 5 mm potassium bromide pellets or in inin- eral o1 (NUJol) mulk. Elemental Analyses. The dry residues were analyzed by combustion, and the metals deter- mined by means of emission spectmsooPY- 7C ray Suore.oenee spectcometry was carried out on a vacuum spectrometer with a lithium fiuoride crysbd scintillation detector. Electron Mtcrosoopyr-Smau fragments from nonpigntented and plgmented portions of lung were prepared using one of the following meth- ods: (1) fixation in 4% glutaraldehyde buffered with either 0A28M sodium veronal and sodium aoetateu at pH 7.5 or 0ZM s-collidine (2,4,6 trime"pyridine) pH 7.4 at 4 C for 1 hour,la aad then postfixed 0.5 hour in 1% osmium te- troxide In the same buffer used for initial fixa- tion. 'tite tissne was rapidly dehydrated by passage Waugh a graded ethanol series and embeaded In rmdn (Vestopal)11 or epoxy resin (Epon 81lE) u Tlsstte sections mounted on coated or unooated grids were viewed with and without daldng. The sections were double stained with a 2% aqueous solution of uranyl acetate for 20 minutes followed by lead citrate for five minutes.1s Add phosphatase was deter- mLted according to the method of Daem.ti The sections wece examined with an electron micro- acope. I,IgBt Mlerosoopyr-Sectidns were prepared and stained for light microscopy according to methods desexlbed in the Manual ol the Histo- loYic and Sptdol Staining TeclutiQtees.ts The stains used for lipid were Sudan Black B, Nile Blue Sulfate and Oil Red O. 'I~e procedutes used for the detection of iron were those of Go- mod and Mallory. Tests for melanin pigment were also performed.

422 PIGMENT IN HUMAN LUNG-NEWMAN ET AL `V 3 ! Enzymat:ic Digestionr-Because of the in- solubility of the pigment, we attempted to concentrate it by dissecting out small bits of pigment-containing tissue and subjecting them to enzymatic hydrolysis in order to re- tnove other tissue constituents. Infrared spectrophotometry was used to follow the removal of protein from the pigment. After the digestion was completed, little or no amide abeorptionto was presalt. Table 1 shows the quantity of material found resist- ant to enzymatic hydrolysis In pigmented and nonpig111Bnted tissue dissected from two lungs. It is apparent that the nonpigmented tissue is almost entirely digested while 5% to 10% of the original weight of the pig- mented tissue resists the enzymatic attack. E:tractfon of Isolated Residuer--The dried residues from the enzymatic digestions were subjected to solvent extractions as de- scribed above since we thought that diges- tion of the surrounding collagen and protein might render a portion of the pigment-more accessible to solvent action but again no no- tioeable portion of the colored material dis- solved. Combustion of the Residue. Three different lungs were selected for enzymatic digestion and subsequent combustion anal,y- sis. The selection was on the basis of dif- ferenoes in appearance by electron mi(x+o- scopic observations (see below). (Only three were processed because the dissections were very long and tediaus.) Table 2 shows the proportions. of the organic or combustible fraction to the Inorganic or nonoombustible residue.- The composition of the pigmentB from the three lungs differ greatly. As shown in Table 3, some similarities can be noted in the combustible fractions of lung samples C- 30 and C-47. The sample prepared from the third. lung (C-44), however, contained a higher percent of carbon in its combustible Z Tabte 1.--Recovery of Pigment After Exhaustive Enzymatic Digestion' •For digestion procedure see text. tMeasured in mg dry weieht/am wet weight.
