Antenatal
inflammation may be an important triggering event in the pathogenesis
of bronchopulmonary dysplasia but may also accelerate fetal lung
maturation. We examined the effects of intra-amniotic (IA) interleukin
(IL)-1
and IL-1
on maturation of the fetal sheep lung. These
cytokine effects were compared with IA endotoxin, a potent
proinflammatory stimulus that accelerated lung maturation. Date-bred
ewes received 15 or 150 µg recombinant ovine IL-1
or IL-1
or 10 mg Escherichia coli endotoxin by IA injection at 118 days
gestation (term = 150 days), and fetuses were delivered at 125 days. IL-1
and IL-1
improved lung function and increased alveolar
saturated phosphatidylcholine (Sat PC) and surfactant protein mRNA
expression at the higher dose. The maturation response to IL-1
was
greater than that to IL-1
, which was similar to endotoxin response.
Inflammation was also more pronounced after IL-1
treatment. Only
endotoxin animals had residual inflammation of the fetal membranes at 7 days. Lung compliance, lung volume, and alveolar Sat PC were positively
correlated with residual alveolar wash leukocyte numbers 7 days after
IL-1 treatment, suggesting a link between lung inflammation and maturation.
