Surfactant protein A reduces TLR4 and inflammatory cytokine mRNA levels in neonatal mouse ileum

Abstract Levels of intestinal toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4) impact inflammation in the neonatal gastrointestinal tract. While surfactant protein A (SP-A) is known to regulate TLR4 in the lung, it also reduces intestinal damage, TLR4 and inflammation in an experimental model of necrotizing enterocoliti...
