GSE103506: Alveolar Injury and Regeneration Following Deletion of ABCA3

Bulk RNA sequencing

Surfactant deficiency, diffuse alveolar damage and respiratory failure caused by loss of Abca3 in AT2 cells was followed by remarkable proliferation of alveolar cells and selective survival of ABCA3 sufficient cells resulting in regeneration of alveolar structure and function, providing the conceptual framework for the development of therapies to ameliorate lung diseases caused by mutations in ABCA3 and other genes critical for AT2 cell function or surfactant homeostasis.
