Figure 5From: Endothelial-monocyte activating polypeptide II disrupts alveolar epithelial type II to type I cell transdifferentiationEMAP II inhibited actin cortical bands and increased actin bundles in transdifferentiating AT II cells. F-actin at days 4 and 8 is distributed in cortical bands in differentiating AT II cells (arrows, A, B and E, F, FITC). Transdifferentiating cells treated with EMAP II lack cortical bands and demonstrate marked increase in actin bundles (stars, C, D and G, H, FITC). G-actin is revealed with cy3 and DAPI denotes nuclear staining. Scale bar = 25 μ.Back to article page
