    • Abstract:
      Type II alveolar epithelial cells (AEC2s) play a crucial role in the regeneration of type I AECs after acute lung injury. The mechanisms underlying the regeneration of AEC2s are not fully understood. To address this issue, here, we investigated a murine model of acute lung injury using mice expressing human Diphtheria Toxin Receptor (DTR) under the control of Lysozyme M promoter (LysM-DTR). DT injection induced the depletion of AEC2s, alveolar macrophages, and bone marrow (BM)-derived myeloid cells in LysM-DTR mice, and the mice died within 6 days after DT injection. Apoptotic AEC2s and bronchiolar epithelial cells appeared at 24 hr, whereas Ki67-positive proliferating cells appeared in the alveoli and bronchioles in the lung of LysM-DTR mice at 72-96 hr after DT injection. Transfer of wild-type BM cells into LysM-DTR mice accelerated the regeneration of AEC2s along with the up-regulation of several growth factors. Moreover, several metabolites were significantly decreased in the sera of LysM-DTR mice compared with WT mice after DT injection, suggesting that these metabolites might be biomarkers to predict AEC2s injury. Together, LysM-DTR mice might be useful to identify growth factors to promote lung repair and the metabolites to predict the severity of lung injury.
