The aim of this study is to research the expression of the transient receptor potential canonical channel 3 (TRPC3) in a neonatal hyperoxic lung injury model of bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD), and to further investigate the role of the TRPC3/nuclear factor-κB (NF-κB) signaling pathway in hyperoxia-induced BPD by a TRPC3 agonist (GSK1702934A). The hyperoxic lung injury model of BPD was established in Sprague-Dawley neonatal rats. Hematoxylin and eosin (HE) staining and radial alveolar count (RAC) values showed that the hyperoxic lung injury model of BPD was successfully established in the neonatal rats, and pulmonary edema was found in the neonatal rats with BPD. The results of reference transcriptome sequencing, Quantitative real-time PCR (qPCR), and western blot showed lower pulmonary expression of TRPC3 in the BPD group than in the control group. Immunofluorescence showed predominant expression of TRPC3 in airways and pulmonary vessels, and the fluorescence intensity of the BPD group was lower than that of the control group. Lung dry-to-wet weight ratio, HE staining, and RAC value showed that the lung histomorphology significantly improved in the BPD + TRPC3 agonist group compared with the BPD group on day 14 but did not revert to the level of the control group. According to qPCR results, compared with the control group, the expression of NF-κB1 decreased and the expression of NF-κBiz increased in the BPD group, whereas the expression of NF-κBiz decreased in the BPD + TRPC3 agonist group. Therefore, we draw the conclusion that TRPC3 may activate NF-κB by inhibiting NF-κBiz to promote cell proliferation and lung growth and development.

Objective: Bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD), a prevalent chronic pulmonary disorder predominantly affecting preterm infants, is characterized by impaired lung development and persistent inflammatory-mediated lung injury. Dermal fibroblast-derived exosomes (DF-Exos) have been demonstrated to alleviate inflammation and promote epithelial tissue repair; however, their role in lung injury remains to be elucidated. This study aimed to evaluate the effects of DF-Exos on BPD and explore their relationship with autophagy.

ObjectiveTo investigate the role and mechanism of long noncoding RNA LINKA (LncRNA LINKA) in hyperoxia-induced acute lung injury (HALI), specifically focusing on its impact on the GPNMB (glycoprotein nonmetastatic B protein)/HIF-1α (hypoxia-inducible factor 1-alpha) signaling pathway of apoptosis.MethodsAn experimental animal study was conducted using specific pathogen-free (SPF) male C57BL/6 mice and GPNMB knockout (KO) mice. Lung injury was assessed by measuring total protein in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF), lung wet/dry weight (W/D) ratio, serum levels of inflammatory (tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) and interleukin-1β (IL-1β)) and oxidative stress (malondialdehyde (MDA) and superoxide dismutase (SOD)) mediators, histopathological scoring (hematoxylin and eosin staining), apoptosis rate (terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase dUTP nick-end labeling (TUNEL) assay), and expression levels of GPNMB/HIF-1α pathway proteins (p-GPNMB, phosphorylated leucine-rich repeat kinase 2 (p-LRRK2), p-HIF-1α) and apoptosis regulators (BCL2-associated X protein (Bax), B-cell lymphoma 2 (Bcl-2)) via western blotting.

Objective: This review aims to explore the roles and mechanisms of cytochrome P450 subfamily 1 (CYP1) enzymes in acute lung injury (ALI), and to discuss their potential as therapeutic targets.
Methods: A comprehensive literature search was conducted using PubMed and Web of Science to identify relevant studies on the involvement of CYP1 enzymes-specifically CYP1A and CYP1B1-in various forms of ALI, including hyperoxic lung injury, sepsis-associated ALI, and COVID-19 pneumonia.
Results: CYP1 enzymes, induced by the aromatic hydrocarbon receptor (AhR), contribute differentially to ALI.

Bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) is the most common chronic lung disease in preterm infants and is a major health hazard for preterm infants worldwide. Hyperoxia-induced oxidative stress is one of the major risk factors for the development of BPD, and ideas for timely intervention in the development of BPD are urgently needed to understand this mechanism. The transmembrane protein TMEM106B is a key molecule in the regulation of autophagy function.

Bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD), a prevalent and chronic lung disease affecting premature newborns, results in vascular rarefaction and alveolar simplification. Although the vasculature has been recognized as a main player in this disease, the recently found capillary heterogeneity and cellular dynamics of endothelial subpopulations in BPD remain unclear. Here, we showed that Cap2 cells were damaged during neonatal hyperoxic injury, leading to their replacement by Cap1 cells, which, in turn, significantly declined.
