| 1 | Prenatal administration of heparin-binding epidermal growth factor-like growth factor in an experimental model of necrotizing enterocolitis decreased both incidence and severity of the disease显示文摘background Necrotizing enterocolitis(NEC)is the leading gastrointestinal cause of death in premature infants and causes long-term disabilities.Previously,enteral heparin-binding epidermal growth factor-like growth factor(HB-EGF)administered after birth demonstrated decreased incidence and severity of NEC in a neonatal animal model of NEC.We investigated the potential prophylactic strategy of preventing NEC using prenatally administered HB-EGF.Methods An HB-EGF(800μg/kg/dose)dose was injected into pregnant rats via tail vein or intraperitoneal route 2 hours prior to delivery.After cesarean section(C-section)at 21 days’gestation,the rat pups were subjected to the NEC protocol by inducing stressors:hypoxia,hypothermia,hypertonic feeds,and orogastric gavage of lipopolysaccharide(2 mg/kg).Postnatally,pups were monitored for 96 hours and assessed for the development of clinical and postmortem histological NEC.results The experimental NEC incidence in untreated,stressed rat pups was 66%.Compared with untreated pups,the maternal administration of HB-EGF correlated with a significant NEC incidence and severity decrease in rat pups.The strongest decrease was seen when HB-EGF was administered via the intraperitoneal route 2 hours prior to C-section(66%vs 31%,*p<0.05).Prenatal HB-EGF administration significantly increased pups’survival after NEC protocol exposure,with the greatest benefit observed in the group that received HB-EGF intraperitoneally 2 hours before delivery.Conclusions Prenatal administration of HB-EGF decreases the incidence and severity of NEC,preserves gut barrier function and increases survival.This may represent a novel prophylactic clinical strategy for NEC offered to mothers at risk of delivering a premature infant. | Marla Ashley Sacks Yomara Stephanie Mendez Faraz A Khan Robert Propst Craig W Zuppan Christopher G Wilson Andrei Radulescu | 2022 | World Journal of Pediatric Surgery2022，5，1： | 0 |
