Evidence for alveolar epithelial EMT in vivo. Myofibroblast and AEC markers colocalized in approximately 80% of AECs overlying fibroblastic foci in lung tissue from humans with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis using three-dimensional deconvolution microscopy. Both pro–surfactant protein B (pro–SP-B) and TTF-1 (pink) colocalized with α-SMA (brown) to the same optical section in all cells analyzed. Reprinted by permission from Reference 43.
