The Potentials and Caveats of Mesenchymal Stromal Cell-Based Therapies in the Preterm Infant

Abstract: Preponderance of proinflammatory signals is a characteristic feature of all acute and resulting long-term morbidities of the preterm infant. The proinflammatory actions are best characterized for bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) which is the chronic lung disease of the preterm infant with lifelong restrictions of pulmonary function and severe consequences for psychomotor development and quality of life. Besides BPD, the immature brain, eye, and gut are also exposed to inflammatory injuries provoked by infectio… Show more

“…It is not surprising that clinical routine measures like the provision of breast milk and the reduction of antibiotic exposure are able to reduce the burden of BPD considering the impact on microbiota structures [ 21 , 22 , 24 , 25 , 56 ]. Tremendous hopes for substantial improvements to prevent BPD arise from innovative approaches like recombinant cytokine application and mesenchymal stem cell therapy [ 57 , 58 , 59 ]. Targeting the microbiota of the upper airway might also be efficacious.…”

“…The reason for the so far unsuccessful establishment of effective therapeutic interventions is based on the complexity of the involved pathomechanisms. The complex interplay between different central pathways and persistent cell phenotype distortion after a one-time injury poses further obstacles that need to be bypassed to reach therapeutic efficiency [ 56 59 ]. The following sections are dedicated to the detailed description of some of the most important disease burdens provoked by microbial dysbiosis.…”

“…Bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) is the chronic lung disease of the preterm infant leading to life-long limitations in lung function [ 59 ]. On a pathophysiologic level, BPD is characterized by distorted alveolar and vascular growth in the saccular stage of lung development.…”

“…To our surprise, no clinical trial since the introduction of nasal CPAP was conducted that assessed the efficacy of different PEEP levels during nasal CPAP treatment for RDS in the preterm population. Given the facts that the available strategies to avoid mechanical ventilation did not (yet) result in a reduction of BPD and are still associated with high treatment failure rates and that other promising strategies (i.e., cell based therapies) have to be critically evaluated before introduction into clinical practice, it seems conclusive to improve the effectiveness of the well-established CPAP therapy as the currently accepted gold standard of noninvasive respiratory support in VLBWI [28,29]. Our hypothesis is that the early application of a higher (6-8 cmH 2 O) versus a lower (3-5 cmH 2 O) PEEP range will more effectively recruit and maintain lung volumes in preterm infants with GA 26 + 0-29 + 6 weeks during the first 120 h of life and further reduce the need for mechanical ventilation and respiratory failure.…”
