A variety of insults can contribute to lung inflammation in the neonatal period. Many of these insults exert their effects through activation or suppression of critical transcription factor pathways. The effect of these pathways on gene transcription/protein translation has a direct impact on lung development, labor induction and the intra-amniotic milieu, and postnatal lung inflammation.
