The lung alveolar surface is covered by two morphologically and functionally distinct cells: alveolar epithelial cell types I and II (AEC I and II). The functions of AEC II, including surfactant release, cell differentiation and ion transport, have been extensively studied. However, relatively little is known regarding the physiological functions of AEC I. Global gene expression profiling of freshly isolated AEC I and II revealed that many genes were differentially expressed in AEC I. These gene ...[more]
