Innate Immune Signaling in the Pathogenesis of Necrotizing Enterocolitis by David J. Hackam, Amin Afrazi, Misty Good, Chhinder P. Sodhi

“…While NEC may develop quickly and without warning, it may also develop slowly, insidiously, and appear to take the caregiver by surprise. In seeking to understand the molecular and cellular processes that lead to NEC development, we have identified a critical role for the receptor for bacterial lipopolysaccharide (LPS) toll like receptor 4 (TLR4) in the pathogenesis of NEC, as its activation within the intestinal epithelium of the premature infant leads to mucosal injury and reduced epithelial repair. …”
