要旨・Lung branching morphogenesis has been extensively studied in developmental biology. Although numerous molecules has been shown to be involved in this process, how the interaction of these molecules result in branch structure is not well understood. On the other hand, abstract model for branching morphogenesis has been formulated in applied mathematics and its behavior is well understood. However, the model has not been utilized well in developmental biology. In this talk I will describe a simple in vitro experimental system which retain the key feature of lung branching morphogenesis. We established biologically realistic models which can reproduce the pattern formation in vitro, and experimentally verified the models. Both models could make experimentally testable predictions, and experimental results showed the validity of the models. Next, to extrapolate the result to in vivo situation, we used the chick lung as a experimental system because it generates both branch and cyst tructure simultaneously during development. We made two experimentally testable hypothesis on cystbranch difference from previous models, and experimentally verify them using fluorescentlylabeled signaling molecules.
