To this end, we performed scRNA-seq on sorted epithelial cells (CD31− CD45− EpCAM+) from the lungs of Sftpc-CreER; Il11ra1fl/fl and Il11ra1+/+ mice 12 days post-BLM challenge (n = 1 mouse/uninjured groups and n = 2 mice/BLM-injured groups) (Fig. 4e). This evidence concerns the gene EPCAM and Bloom syndrome.
