Colocalization of TGF-beta 1 and collagen I and III, fibronectin and glycosaminoglycans during lung branching morphogenesis*
Abstract
The possible in vivo role of TGF-beta 1 in regulating various proteins of the extracellular matrix, including fibronectin, collagen I and III, and glycosaminoglycans, was examined by immunohistochemical methods during critical stages of lung morphogenesis in the 11-to 18-day-old mouse embryo. Sections of Bouin-fixed, paraf-fin-embedded whole embryos were exposed to polyclonal antibodies specific to synthetic peptides present in the precursor part of TGF-beta 1 (pro-TGF-beta 1), in the processed TGF-beta 1 (antibody CC), collagen J and HI, fibronectin, followed by the PAP or ABC technique to visualize the location of the antibody. GAG were stained with Alcian Blue 8GX. Our results indicate colocalization of TGF-beta 1 expression and that of matrix proteins in the developing lung when branching morphogenesis (cleft formation) and tissue stabilization occur. The presence of TGF-beta 1 at the epithelialmesenchymal interfaces of stalks and clefts at a time when matrix proteins can first be visualized in these areas, suggests a direct participation of the growth factor in the development of the basic architecture of the lung.

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.
