The pathogenesis of necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC) remains poorly understood. Many factors potentially predispose the premature intestine to injury: 1) A lack of adequate substrate and O2 delivery to the intestinal epithelial cells, due to an incomplete microvasculature development or to an immature regulation of the intestinal vascular tone; 2) an inadequate intestinal barrier; 3) an inflammatory response triggered by abnormal bacterial colonization; and 4) an immature immune response, leading to inefficient killing of microbes which then translocate through the epithelium (Fig. 1). At the same time, an excessive production of inflammatory mediators leads to the recruitment of neutrophils and subsequent tissue injury and necrosis.The pathogenesis of NEC is complex and its speed of progression is quite variable. In an attempt to gain understanding of the disease, researchers have examined tissues resected from patients with NEC. However, as these are obtained at late stages of the disease, they do not yield clues about the early pathogenic events leading to NEC. Therefore animal models have been used and have helped to identify a role for several mediators of the inflammatory network in NEC. In this chapter, we discuss the evidence for the role of these inflammatory mediators and conclude with a current unifying hypothesis regarding NEC pathogenesis.
