RESUMEN

Telocytes (TCs), a novel type of mesenchymal or interstitial cell with specific, very long and thin cellular prolongations, have been found in various mammalian organs and have potential biological functions. However, their existence during lung development is poorly understood. This study aimed to investigate the existence, morphological features, and role of CD34+ SCs/TCs in mouse lungs from foetal to postnatal life using primary cell culture, double immunofluorescence, transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The immunofluorescence double staining profiles revealed positive expression of CD34 and PDGFR-α, Sca-1 or VEGFR-3, and the expression of these markers differed among the age groups during lung development. Intriguingly, in the E18.5 stage of development, along with the CD34+ SCs/TCs, haematopoietic stem cells and angiogenic factors were also significantly increased in number compared with those in the E14.5, E16.5, P0 and P7. Subsequently, TEM confirmed that CD34+ SCs/TCs consisted of a small cell body with long telopodes (Tps) that projected from the cytoplasm. Tps consisted of alternating thin and thick segments known as podomers and podoms. TCs contain abundant endoplasmic reticulum, mitochondria and secretory vesicles and establish close connections with neighbouring cells. Furthermore, SEM revealed characteristic features, including triangular, oval, spherical, or fusiform cell bodies with extensive cellular prolongations, depending on the number of Tps. Our findings provide evidence for the existence of CD34+ SCs/TCs, which contribute to vasculogenesis, the formation of the air‒blood barrier, tissue organization during lung development and homoeostasis.
