Abstract
Mechanical ventilation causes airway injury, respiratory epithelial cell proliferation, and lung inflammation in preterm sheep. Whether preterm epithelial cells respond similarly to adult epithelial cells or are altered by mechanical ventilation is unknown. We test the hypothesis that mechanical ventilation alters the responses of preterm airway epithelium to stimulation in culture. Respiratory epithelial cells from the trachea, left mainstem bronchi (LMSB), and distal bronchioles were harvested from unventilated preterm lambs, ventilated preterm lambs, and adult ewes. Epithelial cells were grown in culture or on air-liquid interface (ALI) and challenged with combinations of either media only, lipopolysaccharide (LPS; 10 ng/mL), bronchoalveolar fluid (BALF), or interleukin-13 (IL-13). Cell lysates were evaluated for mRNA changes in cytokine, cell type markers, Notch pathway, and acute phase markers. Mechanical ventilation altered preterm respiratory epithelium cell types. Preterm respiratory epithelial cells responded to LPS in culture with larger IL-8 induction than adults, and mechanical ventilation further increased cytokines IL-1β and IL-8 mRNA induction at 2 h. IL-8 protein is detected in cell media after LPS stimulation. The addition of BALF from ventilated preterm animals increased IL-1β mRNA to LPS (fivefold) in both preterm and adult cells and suppressed IL-8 mRNA (twofold) in adults. Preterm respiratory epithelial cells, when grown on ALI, responded to IL-13 with an increase in goblet cell mRNA. Preterm respiratory epithelial cells responded to LPS and IL-13 with responses similar to adults. Mechanical ventilation or exposure to BALF from mechanically ventilated animals alters the responses to LPS.NEW & NOTEWORTHY Preterm lamb respiratory epithelial cells can be extracted from the trachea and bronchi and frozen, and the preterm cells can respond in culture to stimulation with LPS or IL-13. Brief mechanical ventilation changes the distribution and cell type of preterm respiratory cells toward an adult phenotype, and mechanical ventilation alters the response to LPS in culture. Bronchoalveolar lavage fluid from preterm lambs receiving mechanical ventilation also alters unventilated preterm and adult responses to LPS.

Abstract
Mechanical ventilation causes lung injury and systemic inflammatory responses in preterm sheep and is associated with bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) in preterm infants. Budesonide added to surfactant decreased BPD by 20% in infants. We wanted to determine the effects of budesonide and surfactant on injury from high tidal volume (VT) ventilation in preterm lambs. Ewes at 125 ± 1 days gestational age had fetal surgery to expose fetal head and chest with placental circulation intact. Lambs were randomized to 1) mechanical ventilation with escalating VT to target 15 ml/kg by 15 min or 2) continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) of 5 cmH2O. After the 15-min intervention, lambs were given surfactant 100 mg/kg with saline, budesonide 0.25 mg/kg, or budesonide 1 mg/kg. The fetuses were returned to the uterus for 24 h and then delivered and ventilated for 30 min to assess lung function. Budesonide levels were low in lung and plasma. CPAP groups had improved oxygenation, ventilation, and decreased injury markers compared with fetal VT lambs. Budesonide improved ventilation in CPAP lambs. Budesonide decreased lung weights and lung liquid and increased lung compliance and surfactant protein mRNA. Budesonide decreased proinflammatory and acute-phase responses in lung. Airway thickness increased in animals not receiving budesonide. Systemically, budesonide decreased monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 mRNA and preserved glycogen in liver. Results with 0.25 and 1 mg/kg budesonide were similar. We concluded that budesonide with surfactant matured the preterm lung and decreased the liver responses but did not improve lung function after high VT injury in fetal sheep.
