Abstrakt:	Background: Secretoglobin (SCGB) 3A2 is a novel bioactive molecule with anti-inflammatory and anti-fibrotic activities. SCGB3A2 also promotes the maturation of bronchial divergence and the lungs during embryonic development. However, much remains unknown concerning the roles of SCGB3A2 in diseases associated with aging. Methods: The lungs of Scgb3a2 -knockout (KO) mice and their wild-type (WT) littermates were subjected to histological analysis, Victoria blue staining to evaluate of elastic fibers, and lung morphometric analysis during the postnatal period (birth to 8 weeks) and during aging (8 weeks to 2 years). Their spleens were also histologically evaluated. The expression of lung surfactant protein (SP) mRNAs was examined by quantitative reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction. RNA sequencing (RNAseq) analysis was performed on 3-month-old KO and WT mouse lungs. Results: The alveolar spaces of KO mice continuously expanded between 0.5 and 2 years of age, accompanied by increases of the mean linear intercept and destructive index. KO mouse lungs displayed inflammation associated with lymphocyte aggregate starting at 1 year of age, and the inflammation was worse than that of WT mouse lungs. A high number of lymphoma-like cells were presented in 2-year-old KO mouse lungs. White pulp fusion was detected in the spleens of both WT and KO mice older than 0.5 years; however, the fusion was more severe in KO mice than in WT mice. The expression of surfactant protein (SP)-A, SP-B, SP-C, and SP-D mRNAs in KO mouse lungs decreased with age, and after 1 year of age, the expression of most SPs was significantly lower in KO mice than in WT mice. RNAseq demonstrated that the expression of immune system-related genes was highly altered in KO mouse lungs. Conclusion: SCGB3A2 may be required for maintaining homeostasis and immune activity in the lungs during aging. SCGB3A2 deficiency might increase the risk of emphysema of the lung.
