Bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) is a serious complication in premature infants. This study aimed to investigate the mechanism of mitogen-activated protein 3 kinase 7 (Map3k7) affecting BPD by regulating caspase-1 mediated pyroptosis. The morphology of the lung tissue was observed using hematoxylin-eosin staining.

Activation of anaplerosis takes away glutamine from the biosynthetic pathways to the energy-producing TCA cycle. Especially, induction of hyperoxia driven anaplerosis in neurovascular tissues such as the retina during early stages of development could deplete biosynthetic precursors from newly proliferating endothelial cells impeding physiological angiogenesis and leading to vasoobliteration. Using an oxygen-induced retinopathy (OIR) mouse model, we investigated the metabolic differences between OIR-resistant BALB/cByJ and OIR susceptible C57BL/6J strains at system levels to understand the molecular underpinnings that potentially contribute to hyperoxia-induced vascular abnormalities in the neural retina.

The lack of knowledge about the mechanism of hyperoxia-induced intestinal injury has attracted considerable attention, due to the potential for this condition to cause neonatal complications. This study aimed to explore the relationship between hyperoxia-induced oxidative damage and ferroptosis in intestinal tissue and investigate the mechanism by which hyperoxia regulates inflammation through ferroptosis. The study systematically evaluated the effects of hyperoxia on oxidative stress, mitochondrial damage, ferroptosis, and inflammation of intestinal epithelial cells both in vitro and in vivo.

Background: Bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD), a chronic lung disease prevalent among premature infants, significantly impacts lifelong respiratory health. Macrophages, as key components of the innate immune system, play a role in lung tissue inflammation and injury, exhibiting diverse and dynamic functionalities. The M4 macrophage, a distinctive subtype primarily triggered by chemokine (C-X-C motif) ligand 4 (CXCL4), has been implicated in pulmonary inflammatory and fibrotic processes.

Retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) is primarily caused by the exposure of preterm infants with underdeveloped blood vessels to high oxygen concentrations. This damages the astrocytes that promote normal vascular development, leading to avascularity, pathological neovascularization, and retinal detachment, and even blindness as the disease progresses. In this study, the aim was to investigate the differences in the characteristics of astrocytes and blood vessels between wild-type (WT) and genetically modified mice overexpressing platelet-derived growth factor subunit A (PDGF-A) in the retina immediately after high oxygen exposure, a protocol in the oxygen-induced retinopathy (OIR) model of ROP.
