Abstract
Transitional cell states are at the crossroads of crucial developmental and regenerative events, yet little is known about how these states emerge and influence outcomes. The alveolar and airway epithelia arise from distal lung multipotent progenitors, which undergo cell fate transitions to form these distinct compartments. The identification and impact of cell states in the developing lung are poorly understood. Here, we identified a population of Icam1/Nkx2-1 epithelial progenitors harboring a transitional state program remarkably conserved in humans and mice during lung morphogenesis and regeneration. Lineage-tracing and functional analyses reveal their role as progenitors to both airways and alveolar cells and the requirement of this transitional program to make distal lung progenitors competent to undergo airway cell fate specification. The identification of a common progenitor cell state in vastly distinct processes suggests a unified program reiteratively regulating outcomes in development and regeneration.
期刊介绍:
Developmental Cell, established in 2001, is a comprehensive journal that explores a wide range of topics in cell and developmental biology. Our publication encompasses work across various disciplines within biology, with a particular emphasis on investigating the intersections between cell biology, developmental biology, and other related fields. Our primary objective is to present research conducted through a cell biological perspective, addressing the essential mechanisms governing cell function, cellular interactions, and responses to the environment. Moreover, we focus on understanding the collective behavior of cells, culminating in the formation of tissues, organs, and whole organisms, while also investigating the consequences of any malfunctions in these intricate processes.
