The mechanisms mediating expansion-induced lung growth are unknown but likely include alterations in the expression of genes that regulate lung cell proliferation. Our aim was to isolate and identify genes that are up- or downregulated by increased fetal lung expansion. In chronically catheterized fetal sheep at 126 days gestational age (GA), the left lung was expanded for 36 h, while the right lung remained at a control level of expansion. Subtraction hybridization was used to isolate genes differentially expressed between the left and right lungs. Screening of approximately 6,000 clones identified 1,138 and 118 cDNA fragments that were up- and downregulated by increased lung expansion, respectively. Northern blot analyses in separate groups of control fetuses and fetuses exposed to increased lung expansion were used to verify differential expression. Increased fetal lung expansion upregulated heat shock protein 47, thrombospondin-1, TROP2, tropoelastin, and tubulin-alpha3 in fetal lung tissue by approximately 200-300%; connective tissue growth factor and cysteine-rich angiogenic inducer 61 were increased by 20-30%. Genes downregulated by increased fetal lung expansion included CCSP-related protein-1, elongation factor-1alpha and vitamin D3 upregulated protein 1. We conclude that an increase in fetal lung expansion differentially regulates the expression of numerous genes in lung tissue, many of which have important putative roles in lung development, while the functions of others are currently unknown."xsd:string
