Main findings on the role of neutrophils and monocytes in BPD

Ref

1984

Human neonatal BAL

Neutrophil influx and imbalance between elastase and alpha 1-proteinase inhibitor contribute to BPD development.

[134]

2001

Human neonatal TA

MCP-1 and IL-8 increase describes BPD and is correlated to oxygen exposure and duration of MV.

[135]

2003

Fetal and neonatal lamb

Monocytes from preterm and term lambs differ from the adult cells regarding inflammation initiation and resolution.

[124]

2004

Human neonatal cells

Decreased CD18 expression on neutrophils and monocytes and CD62L on neutrophils are early predictors of BPD.

[76]

2004

Neonatal rat

The combination of hyperoxia exposure and neutrophil accumulation has a pivotal role in the development of BPD.

[67]

2007

Human placenta and cord blood

Neonatal monocytic IL-10 production is below the needed for inhibition of release of IL-8. Suggesting exogenous IL-10 as a BPD treatment strategy.

[136]

2008

Human neonatal blood

Low neutrophil counts in the systemic circulation might predict BPD severity.

[142]

2009

Neonatal sheep

Prenatal inflammation affects fetal immune responses including the maturation of monocytes to AMs.

[13]

2011

Neonatal mice

MV-O2 leads to an increased accumulation of neutrophils and monocytes/macrophages in the lung.

[143]

2013

Neonatal mice

Perinatal inflammation and postnatal hyperoxia mark the activation of the macrophages which can be enhanced by IL-1Ra.

[144]

2015

Neonatal mice

Increased TGFβ1 expression in leads to apoptosis and monocyte and macrophage infiltration.

[145]

2016

Neonatal mice

MV increases the infiltrating monocytes and cytokine expression in the lungs of TNFα-/- mice in comparison to the WT.

[138]

2018

Neonatal mice

Csf1r expressing monocyte/macrophage lineage are critical mediators of arrested alveolarization.

[83]

2019

Human neonatal blood

The elevated neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio is an early predictor of BPD.

[12]

2019

Neonatal mice and human neonatal TA

The presence of neutrophil-derived pathogenic in BPD lung secretion promotes extracellular matrix destruction.

[66]

2019

Human neonatal TA

Association between early changes in monocyte-specific IL-1 cytokine and evolving BPD.

[24]

2019

Neonatal mice and human neonatal TA

Inhibition of miR199a-5p improves lung vascular leak and decreased BALF total cell counts including macrophages and neutrophil influx.

[146]

2020

Neonatal rat

Long-term hyperoxia exposure reduced the number of peripheral blood neutrophils in BPD.

[77]

2020

Human neonatal TA

Identify higher expression of inflammatory mediator genes on the first day of life as a predictive BPD signature.

[123]

2021

Neonatal rat

Upregulated monocyte and neutrophil chemotaxis genes and involvement of the pulmonary T cell receptor signaling pathway in BPD.
