Abstract

Summary To identify the pathways involved in adult lung regeneration, we have employed left unilateral pneumonectomy (PNX) model that promotes regenerative alveolarization in the remaining intact right lung lobes. Here, we show that PNX stimulates pulmonary capillary endothelial cells (PCECs) to produce paracrine (angiocrine) growth factors that induce proliferation of epithelial progenitor cells supporting alveologenesis. After PNX, endothelial-specific inducible genetic ablation of Vegfr2 and Fgfr1 in mice inhibited production of MMP14 impairing alveolarization. MMP14 via unmasking cryptic EGF-like ectodomain and activation of EGF-receptor (EGFR) expands epithelial progenitor cells. Neutralization of MMP14 impaired EGFR-ligand mediated alveolar regeneration. By contrast, administration of recombinant EGF, or intravascular transplantation of MMP14+ PCECs from wild-type mice, into pneumonectomized Vegfr2/Fgfr1 deficient mice restored alveologenesis and lung inspiratory volume and compliance function. This study shows that VEGFR2 and FGFR1 activation in PCECs by increasing MMP14-dependent bioavailability of EGFR-ligands initiates and sustains alveologenesis and holds promise to develop therapeutic strategies to promote lung regeneration.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
