Type II alveolar epithelial cells (AEC2s) play a crucial role in the regeneration of type I AECs after acute lung injury. The mechanisms underlying the regeneration of AEC2s are not fully understood. To address this issue, here, we investigated a murine model of acute lung injury using mice expressing humanDiphtheria Toxin Receptor (DTR)under the control ofLysozyme Mpromoter (LysM‐DTR). DT injection induced the depletion of AEC2s, alveolar macrophages, and bone marrow (BM)‐derived myeloid cells inLysM‐DTRmice, and the mice died within 6 days after DT injection. Apoptotic AEC2s and bronchiolar epithelial cells appeared at 24 hr, whereas Ki67‐positive proliferating cells appeared in the alveoli and bronchioles in the lung ofLysM‐DTRmice at 72–96 hr after DT injection. Transfer of wild‐type BM cells intoLysM‐DTRmice accelerated the regeneration of AEC2s along with the up‐regulation of several growth factors. Moreover, several metabolites were significantly decreased in the sera ofLysM‐DTRmice compared with WT mice after DT injection, suggesting that these metabolites might be biomarkers to predict AEC2s injury. Together,LysM‐DTRmice might be useful to identify growth factors to promote lung repair and the metabolites to predict the severity of lung injury.
