C57BL/6 Mouse Alveolar Epithelial Cells are isolated from the lung tissue of C57BL/6 mice and encompass two subtypes: alveolar type I and type II epithelial cells. These cells form the majority of the lung’s internal surface, with type I cells, characterized by expansive squamous morphology and thin cytoplasmic projections, covering over 95% of the lung’s interior. Notably endowed with aquaporins, type I cells exhibit remarkable osmotic water permeability, potentially influencing ion transport and fluid regulation. Conversely, type II cells, occupying a smaller portion of the lung surface, manage the production, secretion, and recycling of pulmonary surfactant, alongside active Na+ transport for fluid balance. These mouse alveolar epithelial cells also prominently express the ACE2 gene, a conduit exploited by SARS-CoV-2 for cellular entry, as evidenced by robust ACE2 gene expression in our C57BL/6 mouse alveolar epithelial cells.

FOR RESEARCH USE ONLY
C57BL/6 Mouse Alveolar Epithelial Cells serve as a valuable tool for investigating lung diseases like pulmonary fibrosis. With applications ranging from genomic and proteomic analyses to ex vivo culturing, they offer insights into diverse biological processes. Particularly suited for exploring the lung’s fibrogenic microenvironment and the adaptability of these cells within it, they hold promise for advancing epithelial cell-targeted therapies addressing pulmonary fibrosis and related conditions.
C57BL/6 Mouse Alveolar Epithelial Cells are a type of epithelial cell derived from the alveoli of the lungs of C57BL/6 mice. They play a crucial role in the structure and function of the alveoli, facilitating gas exchange between the lungs and bloodstream.
Studying these cells provides insights into lung physiology, respiratory diseases, and toxicology. They serve as an essential model system for investigating lung development, injury, repair, and regeneration, as well as for screening potential therapeutics for respiratory disorders.
Using these cells provides a reproducible and genetically tractable model system for studying lung biology and diseases. Their use allows researchers to investigate specific genetic factors, signaling pathways, and cellular interactions relevant to respiratory health and disease in a controlled experimental setting.
