摘要: Undifferentiated mesenchymal cells were isolated from mouse embryonic lungs and plated at subconfluent confluent densities. During the first 5 hours in culture, all negative for smooth muscle markers. After 24 that spread synthesized alpha-actin, myosin, desmin SM22 levels comparable to those of mature muscle. The did not remained SM differentiation was independent cell-cell contact or proliferation. In additional studies, undifferentiated lung cocultured with epithelial high density. aggregated into cysts surrounded by a basement membrane formed between two cell types. these cocultures, differentiated rest round Inhibition laminin polymerization an antibody globular regions beta1/gamma1 chains blocked assembly, spreading differentiation. These studies indicated have potential differentiate process is triggered their along airway membrane.
