The present invention provides a means to influence the formation and/or reduction of new lung cells, by influencing a Wnt-pathway in an alveolar type II cell and/or alveolar type II tumor cell from said lung. Therefore, the invention provides a composition comprising a nucleic acid capable of binding at least a functional part of a nucleic acid encoding a protein which is involved in a Wnt-pathway in said cell, said binding influencing said Wnt- pathway. A composition of the invention may also comprise a protein capable of binding at least a functional part of a protein which is involved in a Wnt- pathway in said cell, or at least a functional part of a nucleic acid encoding a protein which is involved in a Wnt-pathway in said cell, said binding influencing said Wnt-pathway. A composition of the invention is suitable for the preparation of a medicament against emphysema, Respiratory Distress Syndrome and/or lung cancer.

L'invention porte: sur un moyen influençant la formation et/ou la réduction de nouvelles cellules pulmonaires en agissant sur le mécanisme Wnt de cellules alvéolaires de type II ou cellules alvéolaires tumorales de type II des poumons; sur une composition comprenant un acide nucléique pouvant se fixer à au moins une partie fonctionnelle d'un acide nucléique codant pour une protéine impliquée dans le mécanisme Wnt desdites cellules, ladite liaison influençant ledit mécanisme; sur une composition pouvant également comprendre une protéine pouvant se fixer à au moins une partie fonctionnelle d'une protéine impliquée dans le mécanisme Wnt desdites cellules, ou à au moins la partie fonctionnelle d'un acide nucléique codant pour une protéine impliquée dans le mécanisme Wnt desdites cellules, ladite liaison influençant ledit mécanisme; et sur une composition utilisable pour la préparation d'un médicament contre l'emphysème, le syndrome de détresse respiratoire et/ou le cancer du poumon.
