Popis: | ErbB4 is a regulator in lung development and disease. Prenatal infection is an important risk factor for the delay of morphologic lung development, while promoting the maturation of the surfactant system. Bone marrow–derived mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) have the potential to prevent lung injury. We hypothesized that BMSCs in comparison with hematopoietic control stem cells (HPSCs) minimize the lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced lung injury only when functional ErbB4 receptor is present. We injected LPS and/or murine green fluorescent protein–labeled BMSCs or HPSCs into the amniotic cavity of transgenic ErbB4heart mothers at gestational day 17. Fetal lungs were analyzed 24 h later. BMSCs minimized significantly LPS-induced delay in morphological lung maturation consisting of a stereologically measured increase in mesenchyme and septal thickness and a decrease of future airspace and septal surface. This effect was more prominent and significant in the ErbB4heart+/− lungs, suggesting that the presence of functioning ErbB4 signaling is required. BMSC also diminished the LPS induced increase in surfactant protein (Sftp)a mRNA and decrease in Sftpc mRNA is only seen if ErbB4 is present. The reduction of morphological delay of lung development and of levels of immune-modulating Sftp was more pronounced in the presence of the ErbB4 receptor. Thus, ErbB4 may be required for the protective signaling of BMSCs. |
