Resuscitation with pure oxygen at birth after fetal asphyxia may aggravate brain damage by inducing pro-inflammation. The toll-like receptors (TLRs) may serve a pro-inflammatory role in hyperoxemia during ischemia-reperfusion. Sixteen near-term fetal sheep (132-136 d) were subjected to 10 min of cord occlusion, delivery and mechanical ventilation with 100% O-2 (n = 8), or 21% O-2 (n = 8) for 30 min followed by normoxemia for 90 min. Eight sheep fetuses were delivered immediately with inspired O-2 targeted at normoxemia for 120 min (controls). Levels and distributions of mRNAs for IL-1 beta, TNF-alpha, IL-12p40, IL-18, IL-6, IL-10, IFN-gamma, TLR-2. -3 and -4 in cerebral tissue at 2 h after birth were evaluated with real-time polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and in situ hybridization. Expressions of IL-1 beta, IL-12p40, TLR-2, and TLR-4 were increased in cortex/subcortex after resuscitation with 100% 02 compared with 21% O-2 (all p < 0.05) and to controls (all p < 0.05). Increased cellular expression of IL-1 beta was localized to sub-meningeal cortical layers and to sub-cortical white matter. Hyperoxic resuscitation at birth following fetal asphyxia induces a cerebral pro-inflammatory response with an up-regulation of TLR-2 and -4. These may be early events leading to increased tissue damage after exposure to hyperoxemia at birth.
