Congenital diaphragmatic hernia, tracheal occlusion, thyroid transcription factor-1, and fetal pulmonary epithelial maturation. Am J Physiol Lung Cell Mol Physiol 289: L44-L52, 2005. First published March 11, 2005; doi:10.1152/ajplung. 00342.2004.-Congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH) occurs in similar to 1:2,500 human births and has high morbidity and mortality rates, primarily due to pulmonary hypoplasia and pulmonary hypertension. Tracheal occlusion ( TO), in experimental animals, distends lungs and increases lung growth and alveolar type I cell maturation but decreases surfactant components and reduces alveolar type II cell density. We examined effects of CDH and CDH+TO on lung growth and maturation in fetal rats. To induce CDH, we administered nitrofen (100 mg) to dams at 9.5 days of gestation. We compared lungs from fetuses with CDH, CDH+TO, and those exposed to nitrofen without CDH. CDH decreased lung wet weight bilaterally (P < 0.0001) and DNA content in lung ipsilateral to CDH (P < 0.05). CDH+TO significantly increased lung wet weights bilaterally; DNA content was intermediate between CDH and NC. To evaluate effects on the distal pulmonary epithelium, we examined surfactant mRNA and protein levels, type I and II cell-specific markers (RTI40 and RTII70, respectively), and transcriptional regulator thyroid transcription factor-1 (TTF-1). Decreased lung distension ( due to CDH) increased SP-C mRNA and TTF-1 protein expression and reduced RTI40 (P < 0.05 for all). Increased lung distension ( due to CDH+TO) reduced expression of SP mRNAs and pro-SP-C and TTF-1 proteins and enhanced expression of RTI40 ( mRNA and protein; P < 0.05 for all). We conclude that CDH + TO partially reverses effects of CDH; it corrects the pulmonary hypoplasia and restores type I cell differentiation but adversely affects SP expression in type II cells. These effects may be mediated through changes in TTF-1 expression.
