Abstract

Significance: The airways of the lungs are lined by ciliated and secretory epithelial cells important for mucociliary clearance. When these cells are damaged or lost, they are replaced by the differentiation of basal stem cells. Little is known about how this repair is orchestrated by signaling pathways in the epithelium and underlying stroma. We present evidence using cultured airway cells and genetic manipulation of a mouse model of airway repair that the cytokine IL-6 promotes the differentiation of ciliated vs. secretory cells. This process involves direct Stat3 regulation of genes controlling both cell fate (Notch1) and the differentiation of multiciliated cells (Multicilin and forkhead box protein J1). Moreover, the major producer of IL-6 appears to be mesenchymal cells in the stroma rather than immune cells.

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.
