Abstract
Bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) is a common chronic respiratory complication in preterm infants without fully understand the mechanism or effective treatment, which could significantly affect the survival rate and prognosis of these infants. Studies have confirmed that epigenetic mechanisms, including histone modification, non-coding RNA and DNA methylation may play an essential role in the onset and development of BPD. And most related epigenetic changes are reversible, which might serve as a potential target for BPD treatment. Therefore, further studies on epigenetics will shed light on a better understanding of the pathogenesis, prevention, and treatment of BPD.
Key words:
Bronchopulmonary dysplasia; Epigenomics; Histone code; RNA, untranslated; DNA methylation
期刊介绍:
Chinese Journal of Perinatal Medicine was founded in May 1998. It is one of the journals of the Chinese Medical Association, which is supervised by the China Association for Science and Technology, sponsored by the Chinese Medical Association, and hosted by Peking University First Hospital. Perinatal medicine is a new discipline jointly studied by obstetrics and neonatology. The purpose of this journal is to "prenatal and postnatal care, improve the quality of the newborn population, and ensure the safety and health of mothers and infants". It reflects the new theories, new technologies, and new progress in perinatal medicine in related disciplines such as basic, clinical and preventive medicine, genetics, and sociology. It aims to provide a window and platform for academic exchanges, information transmission, and understanding of the development trends of domestic and foreign perinatal medicine for the majority of perinatal medicine workers in my country.
