description In order to reveal the distribution and expression characteristics of the pulmonary ionocyte-related factors CFTR, ATP6V0D2, and ATP6V1C2 in the lungs of yaks of different ages. Explore the possible regulation of these pulmonary ionocyte-related factors in the yak lung for adaptation to high-altitude hypoxia. The localization and expression of CTFR, ATP6V0D2, and ATP6V1C2 in the lungs of newborn, juvenile, adult, and elderly yaks were studied using immunohistochemistry, quantitative reverse transcription PCR, and Western blotting. Immunohistochemistry showed that CFTR, ATP6V0D2 and ATP6V1C2 were mainly localized in the ciliated cells and club cells of the epithelial mucosal layer of the bronchus and its branches in the lungs. For the qRT-PCR, expression of CFTR, ATP6V0D2 and ATP6V1C2 in the yak lungs varied according to age. For Western blotting, CFTR expression in the newborn group was significantly higher than in the other three groups. ATP6V0D2 expression of the adult group was significantly higher. ATP6V1C2 expression was the highest in the juvenile group (<i>p</i> < 0.05). This study showed that ciliated cells and club cells were related to the pulmonary ionocytes in yaks. CFTR, ATP6V0D2, and ATP6V1C2 were related to adaptations of yak lungs to high altitude hypoxia, through prevention of airway damage.
