Inflammatory mediators in necrotizing enterocolitis / 国际儿科学杂志

ABSTRACT

Necrotizing enterocolitis ( NEC) is a common neonatal emergency and severe case. It is a se-rious threat to the neonates. Apoptotic signal transduction pathway can be classified into extrinsic apoptotic path-way,the intrinsic apoptosis pathway and endoplasmic reticulum pathways. Inflammatory mediators can induce apoptosis in intestinal epithelial cells through the three ways mentioned above. It plays an important role in the development of NEC,which might be important for the pathogenesis of NEC.
