Role of cytokines in hyperoxia mediated inflammation in the developing lung

Abstract: The development of Chronic Lung Disease of Prematurity (CLD) has been associated with the use of hyperoxic conditions during ventilation. Inflammation has been demonstrated to contribute to the development of this disease, both on histological examination of diseased lungs, and by the use of bronchoalveolar lavage. Hyperoxia is believed to contribute to this inflammatory process by causing direct injury to epithelial and endothelial cells. The formation of reactive oxygen species is thought to result in produc… Show more

“…The lungs of preterm infants are often in the late-saccular to early-alveolar phase at birth and require respiratory support (249). Mechanical ventilation, continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) or oxygen supplementation are necessary treatments, but cause inflammation, acute lung injury and lead to a neonatal CLD, also known as BPD (250)(251)(252)(253)(254). Lungs of infants with BPD are characterized by vascular and alveolar hypoplasia (255).…”
