Alterations in lung expansion affect surfactant protein A, B, and C mRNA levels in fetal sheep.
Obstruction of the fetal trachea is a potent stimulus for fetal lung growth, and it has been suggested that this procedure may be used therapeutically to reverse lung growth deficits in human fetuses with lung hypoplasia. However, little is known about the effects of increased lung expansion on other aspects of lung development. Our aim was to determine the effect of increased and decreased lun...
متن کاملIntra-amniotic endotoxin increases pulmonary surfactant proteins and induces SP-B processing in fetal sheep.
Intra-amniotic (IA) endotoxin induces lung maturation within 6 days in fetal sheep of 125 days gestational age. To determine the early fetal lung response to IA endotoxin, the timing and characteristics of changes in surfactant components were evaluated. Fetal sheep were exposed to 20 mg of Escherichia coli 055:B5 endotoxin by IA injection from 1 to 15 days before preterm delivery at 125 days g...
متن کاملPositive end-expiratory pressure and surfactant decrease lung injury during initiation of ventilation in fetal sheep.
The initiation of ventilation in preterm, surfactant-deficient sheep without positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) causes airway injury and lung inflammation. We hypothesized that PEEP and surfactant treatment would decrease the lung injury from initiation of ventilation with high tidal volumes. Fetal sheep at 128-day gestational age were randomized to ventilation with: 1) no PEEP, no surfact...
متن کاملSurfactant phospholipids and proteins are increased in fetal sheep with pulmonary hypertension secondary to fetal systemic arteriovenous fistula.
To determine whether prenatal surfactant storage was altered in a model of systemic arteriovenous fistula (SAVF) with pulmonary hypertension, a fistula was created between the internal jugular vein and the carotid artery in 120-day fetal lambs, and surfactant material was explored at 134 days. Total phospholipids (TPL) and disaturated phosphatidylcholine (DSPC) were increased in whole lung tiss...
متن کاملRegulation of surfactant proteins by LPS and proinflammatory cytokines in fetal and newborn lung.
Intra-amniotic lipopolysaccharide (LPS) and cytokines may decrease respiratory distress syndrome (RDS) and increase chronic lung disease in the newborn. The aim was to identify the primary inflammatory mediators regulating the expression of surfactant proteins (SP) in explants from immature (22-day-old fetus) and mature (30-day term fetus and 2-day-old newborn) rabbits. In immature lung, interl...
