Abstract

Significance: Pulmonary alveolar type I (AT1) cells are essential for the gas-exchange function of lungs. AT1 cells retain their cellular plasticity during injury-induced alveolar regeneration. However, we know very little about the developmental heterogeneity of the AT1 cell population. Our study identified a robust genetic marker of postnatal AT1 cells, insulin-like growth factor-binding protein 2 (Igfbp2). We use this marker to demonstrate that the postnatal AT1 cell population actually consists of two AT1 cell subtypes (Hopx + Igfbp2 + and Hopx + Igfbp2 − AT1 cells) with distinct cell fates during alveolar regeneration. The large majority of adult AT1 cells expresses Igfbp2 and cannot transdifferentiate into AT2 cells during post pneumonectomy formation of new alveoli. Therefore, Hopx + Igfbp2 + AT1 cells represent the terminally differentiated population of AT1 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.
