Complex roles of TGF-beta signaling pathways in lung development and bronchopulmonary dysplasia.
As survival of extremely preterm infants continues to improve, there is also an associated increase in bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD), one of the most significant complications of preterm birth. BPD development is multifactorial resulting from exposure to multiple antenatal and postnatal stressors. BPD has both short-term health implications and long-term sequelae including increased respiratory, cardiovascular and neurological morbidity. Transforming growth factor beta (TGF-b) is an important signaling pathway in lung development, organ injury and fibrosis and is implicated in the development of BPD. This review provides a detailed account on the role of TGF-b in antenatal and postnatal lung development, the effect of known risk factors for BPD on the TGF-b signaling pathway, and how medications currently in use or under development, for the prevention or treatment of BPD, affect TGF-b signaling.
