| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
In this study, we aim to elucidate the developmental process of the stem cell - niche complex tissue "NEB" at the bronchial branch point, and elucidate the molecular dynamics of the tissue stem cells contained in NEB. Our new transgenic mice demonstrated that Notch-activated cells surrounding NE cells do not reduce the number of NE cells by cell-cell contact. On the other hand, mouse genetic analysis revealed that Notch-Hes1 cascade coordinates the number of NE cells by supressing the NE cell fate in the cell autonomous fashion in the early stages of development. Furthermore, we succeeded in 4D live imaging of developing NE cells using multiphoton-microscopy in being the first in the world, and illustrated that solitary NE cells in the early fetal lung directionaly migrate to the bronchial branch point to form NEBs. Finally, we established the technique to isolate NE cells from fetal lung and conducted a micro array analysis.
