Composition of septal walls. Electron microscopic images of the ultrastructure of control (ctrl) and Nedd4-2 deficient lungs (Nedd4-2−/−) after 2, 8 and 12 weeks of doxycycline induction. Increase of collagen fibrils, interstitial cells and alveolar epithelial type II (AE2) cells can be observed after 12 weeks. Abbreviations: AE1: alveolar epithelial type I cells; AE2: alveolar epithelial type II cells; LB: lamellar body; Endo: endothelial cells; IC: interstitial cells; recm: extracellular matrix without collagen fibrils; col: collagen fibrils; capl: capillary lumen (with erythrocyte); bl: basal lamina.
