TetO-Wnt5a;SM22-rtTA mice produce WNT5A in smooth muscle cells. (A) Schematic representation of the transgenic model. (B,C) Representative immunohistochemistry images (left) and the quantifications (right) of WNT5A protein in wild type (WT) and transgenic (Tg) mouse lung tissues showing airways (B), elastic arteries and muscular arteries (C). Alv is alveoli, Ep is epithelium, SM is smooth muscle, En is endothelium, BM is basement membrane. Mice received doxycycline (2 mg/mL dox, 5% sucrose) through the drinking water one week prior to the experiment. Unpaired t-test. Data represents 8 mice per group. Data is expressed as the mean ± SEM. *p < 0.05.
