There was a significant difference in RT-PCR results between GBS and controls for AKR1B10, wingless-type MMTV integration site family member 3, angiopoietin 1, serpina 3, and MMP1. Discussion pro-inflammatory Solithromycin cytokine response ensues, which may or may not trigger preterm labor depending on the severity. Cytokines and other inflammatory mediators produced in the choriodecidual space begin to diffuse into the AF. The fetal lungs are in direct contact with the amniotic fluid due to normal swallowing in utero, which has been reported as early as 11 weeks. When proinflammatory cytokines from the AF come into contact with the fetal lungs, an innate immune response is initiated in the fetal lungs with subsequent recruitment of neutrophils and macrophages. Inflammation results with the degree likely related to the intensity, duration, and developmental timing of the cytokine exposure. Pulmonary gene expression related to the innate and adaptive immune response increases while expression related to angiogenesis, morphogenesis, and cellular development decreases. This inflammation 
may set the stage for further lung injury and BPD if preterm delivery occurs with subsequent lung injury by mechanical ventilation and hyperoxia. Our data is consistent with many 19770292 prior studies implicating a role for several inflammatory mediators in BPD development, which 17876302 were significantly elevated in the AF of our model. Although not specific for BPD, elevated IL-6 and IL-8 precede neutrophil infiltration in tracheal aspirates from preterm infants who develop BPD. Innate immune responses, neutrophil chemotaxis, regulation of IL-8, and leukotriene metabolism were associated with fetal lung injury and featured prominently in our GSA. Interestingly, elevated leukotriene levels in tracheal lavage fluid are thought to be related to the bronchospasm associated with BPD.
