Chorioamnionitis is frequent in preterm labor and increases the risk of bronchopulmonary dysplasia. We hypothesized that intra-amniotic endotoxin injures the lung in utero, causing a sequence of inflammation and tissue injury similar to that which occurs in the injured adult lung. Preterm lamb lungs at 125 days gestational age were evaluated for indicators of inflammation, injury, and repair 5 h, 24 h, 72 h, and 7 days after 4 mg of intra-amniotic endotoxin injection. At 5 h, the epithelial cells in large airways expressed heat shock protein 70, and alveolar interleukin-8 was increased. Surfactant protein B (SP-B) decreased in alveolar type II cells at 5 h, and SP-B in lung tissue and alveolar lavage fluid increased by 72 h. By 24 h, neutrophils were recruited into the large airways, and cell death was the highest. Alveolar type II cells decreased by 25% at 24 h, and proliferation was highest at 72 h, consistent with tissue remodeling. Intra-amniotic endotoxin caused surfactant secretion, inflammation, cell death, and remodeling as indications of lung injury. The recovery phase was accompanied by maturational changes in the fetal lung.
