There was no significant difference in the expression of Sftpc between wild-type and Taz-deficient lungs. Instead, microarray analysis identified some candidate downstream genes related to the pathogenesis, including the connective tissue growth factor (Ctgf) gene, which is required for normal lung development. In vitro studies showed that TAZ up-regulated Ctgf expression not only by reinforcing transforming growth factor-\u03b2\/smad signals, but also by interfering in the more proximal Ctgf promoter region (from bp \u2212123 to \u221276), defined as the TAZ response element. Furthermore, Taz-heterozygous mice were resistant to bleomycin-induced lung fibrosis.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>The results indicate the importance of TAZ in lung alveolarization and its involvement in the pathogenesis of lung fibrosis.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1164\/rccm.200812-1827oc","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2009,6,4]],"date-time":"2009-06-04T21:57:54Z","timestamp":1244152674000},"page":"326-338","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":95,"title":["Transcriptional Coactivator with PDZ-binding Motif Is Essential for Normal Alveolarization in Mice"],"prefix":"10.1093","volume":"180","author":[{"given":"Akihisa","family":"Mitani","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Respiratory Medicine and"},{"name":"Department of Physiological Chemistry and Metabolism, Graduate School of Medicine, University of Tokyo, Tokyo"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Takahide","family":"Nagase","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Respiratory Medicine and"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Kazunori","family":"Fukuchi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Bioscience Division II, Discovery Research Laboratories, Kyorin Pharmaceutical Company, Nogi, Tochigi; and"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Hiroyuki","family":"Aburatani","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Genome Science Division, Research Center for Advanced Science and Technology, University of Tokyo, Tokyo, Japan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Ryosuke","family":"Makita","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Physiological Chemistry and Metabolism, Graduate School of Medicine, University of Tokyo, Tokyo"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Hiroki","family":"Kurihara","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Physiological Chemistry and Metabolism, Graduate School of Medicine, University of Tokyo, Tokyo"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"286","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2009,8,15]]},"reference":[{"key":"2026032023575446300_BIB1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"6778","DOI":"10.1093\/emboj\/19.24.6778","volume":"19","year":"2000","journal-title":"EMBO J"},{"key":"2026032023575446300_BIB2","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1074","DOI":"10.1126\/science.1110955","volume":"309","year":"2005","journal-title":"Science"},{"key":"2026032023575446300_BIB3","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"17384","DOI":"10.1074\/jbc.M312569200","volume":"279","year":"2004","journal-title":"J Biol Chem"},{"key":"2026032023575446300_BIB4","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"533","DOI":"10.1016\/j.bbrc.2005.10.214","volume":"339","year":"2006","journal-title":"Biochem Biophys Res Commun"},{"key":"2026032023575446300_BIB5","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"837","DOI":"10.1038\/ncb1748","volume":"10","year":"2008","journal-title":"Nat Cell Biol"},{"key":"2026032023575446300_BIB6","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"176","DOI":"10.4161\/cc.5.2.2362","volume":"5","year":"2006","journal-title":"Cell Cycle"},{"key":"2026032023575446300_BIB7","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"F542","DOI":"10.1152\/ajprenal.00201.2007","volume":"294","year":"2008","journal-title":"Am J Physiol Renal Physiol"},{"key":"2026032023575446300_BIB8","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"6383","DOI":"10.1128\/MCB.00254-07","volume":"27","year":"2007","journal-title":"Mol Cell Biol"},{"key":"2026032023575446300_BIB9","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1631","DOI":"10.1073\/pnas.0605266104","volume":"104","year":"2007","journal-title":"Wwtr1.
