Transforming growth factor-alpha (TGF-alpha) and its receptor, the epithelial growth factor receptor (EGFR), have been associated with lung remodeling in premature infants with bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD). The goal of this study was to target TGF-alpha overexpression to the saccular phase of lung morphogenesis and determine early alterations in gene expression. Conditional lung-specific TGF-alpha bitransgenic mice and single-transgene control mice were generated. TGF-alpha overexpression wa ...[more]
