J Neuropathol Exp Neurol. 2009 Apr;68(4):417-24.


We previously found that vascular smooth muscle actin (SMA) is reduced in the brains of patients with late stage Alzheimer disease (AD) compared with brains of nondemented, neuropathologically normal subjects.

Animals were sacrificed at P4 or P7, and lungs and brains were excised and analyzed.
RESULTS: Exposure to 8% CO (2) resulted in an increased expression of alpha-smooth muscle actin (alpha-sma) which localized to the tips of developing alveolar buds, and also an increased number of alveolar buds at P7.
