(Submitter supplied) Type IV collagen is the main component of the basement membrane which gives strength to the blood-gas barrier. In avians the formation of the blood-gas barrier happens rapidly and before hatching. We have performed a microarray expression analysis in late chick lung development and found that COL4A1 and COL4A2 were among the most significantly upregulated genes during the formation of the avian blood-gas barrier. more...

(Submitter supplied) Alveolar formation increases the surface area for gas-exchange and is key to the physiological function of the lung. Alveolar epithelial cells, myofibroblasts and endothelial cells undergo coordinated morphogenesis to generate epithelial folds (secondary septa) within the saccules to form alveoli. A mechanistic understanding of alveologenesis remains incomplete. We found that the planar cell polarity (PCP) pathway is required in both alveolar epithelial cells and myofibroblasts for alveologenesis. more...

(Submitter supplied) COL4A1 mutations cause Gould syndrome, a multi-system disorder which is characterized by a broad range of cerebrovascular, ocular, muscular, renal, or cardiac manifestations. To investigate the patheogenic mechanism of Col4a1 mutations in ocular anterior segment dysgenesis, we used a Col4a1 mutant mouse model that recapitulate many aspects of the pathophysiological hallmarks of Gould syndrome including anterior segment dysgenesis. more...

(Submitter supplied) The lung microvasculature is essential for gas exchange and commonly considered homogeneous. We show that Vascular endothelial growth factor A (Vegfa) from the epithelium specifies a distinct endothelial cell (EC) population in the postnatal mouse lung. Vegfa is predominantly expressed by alveolar type 1 (AT1) cells and locally required to specify a subset of ECs. Single cell RNA-seq identified 15~20% lung ECs as transcriptionally distinct and marked by Carbonic anhydrase 4 (Car4), which are specifically lost upon epithelial Vegfa deletion. more...
