respiratory system
• alveolar stem cell renewal is disrupted, with tamoxifen-treated mice showing reduced fractions of SFTPC+ alveolar stem cells that incorporate BrdU during normal homeostasis and during injury with bleomycin
• tamoxifen-treated mice show reduced density of alveoli in the distal lung
• tamoxifen-treated mice exhibit a more simplified alveolar structure in which secondary crests are absent from the enlarged alveoli
• tamoxifen-treated mice show a loss of SFTPC+ type 2 pneumocytes from the distal alveolar region
• tamoxifen-treated mice show enlarged alveolus size
• tamoxifen-treated mice exhibit emphysematous changes in the alveolar airspace characterized by a 20% enlargement of airspace, increase in mean chord length, enlarged alveolus size, and reduced density of alveoli in the distal lung
• lungs of tamoxifen-treated mice show elevated low attenuation volume/total lung volume ratio, indicating airspace enlargement and emphysema
• however, no evidence of increased inflammatory cells or increased in the number of apoptotic cells in the lungs of tamoxifen-treated mice are seen
