Figure Lengend Snippet: a Gene expression of ATCS markers in the micro-patterned culture. Each well was treated with either DMSO or p300/CBP inhibitors (10 μM) from days 11 to 14. Data are presented as mean ± SEM (n = 3 biologically independent experiments). One-way ANOVA followed by Tukey’s multiple comparisons test; ** p < 0.01, *** p < 0.001, **** p < 0.0001. b Dot plots displaying the gene expression of iATCs-specific markers in representative cell populations from the micro-patterned culture, corresponding to those shown in Fig. . c Immunostaining of CD54 (ICAM1), lineage markers for ATCS (KRT19), AT1 cells (HT1-56), AT2 cells (NaPi2b), and nuclei (Hoechst) in micro-patterned cultures. Representative images from three biologically independent experiments with similar results are shown. Scale bar: 100 μm. d, e Flow cytometry analysis assessing the CD54 + cell ratio in the micro-patterned culture. Each well was treated with either DMSO or p300/CBP inhibitors (10 μM) from days 11 to 14. Data are presented as mean ± SEM (n = 3 biologically independent experiments). One-way ANOVA followed by Tukey’s multiple comparisons test; ** p < 0.01. f Schematic outline for sorting CD54 + iATCs from day 14 of the micro-patterned culture. Created in BioRender. Tsutsui, Y. (2026) https://BioRender.com/v51i925 g Gene expression data of ATCS markers in the micro-patterned culture. Data are presented as mean ± SEM ( n = 3 biologically independent experiments). One-way ANOVA followed by Tukey’s multiple comparisons test; ** p < 0.01, *** p < 0.001, **** p < 0.0001. h Schematic outline of the co-culture experiment involving isolated CD54 + iATCs and NHLFs. Created in BioRender. Tsutsui, Y. (2026) https://BioRender.com/nbi6c0b i Gene expression analysis of ATCS markers in isolated CD54 + iATCs. Data are presented as mean ± SEM ( n = 3 biologically independent experiments). One-way ANOVA followed by Tukey’s multiple comparisons test; ** p < 0.01. ns; not significant ( p > 0.05). j Gene expression analysis of fibroblast activation markers in NHLFs cocultured with or without iATCs. Data are presented as mean ± SEM ( n = 3 biologically independent experiments). Unpaired two-tailed Student’s t test: ∗ p < 0.05.
