The DNA-binding protein Sox17 has been found to play an important role in repair of pulmonary tissue after damage, disease, or injury. Nucleic acids encoding proteins involved in pulmonary repair, such as Sox17 and Spdef, can be used as a therapeutic composition for treating pulmonary disease. Methods of treatment of pulmonary injuries or pulmonary diseases are also disclosed, as are methods of identifying compounds effective in treating pulmonary injuries and diseases.
