The investigator proposes to assess the effect of RA, VitD, analogs, and dexamethasone individually or in combination on cell proliferation and expression of PDGFs and their receptors during lung development in vitro (Aim 1) and in vivo (Aim 2). This will include an evaluation of the effect of these treatments on alveolar formation and on lung function (Aim 2). Then, an analysis of the mechanisms regulating PDGF expression will be performed, aiming to characterize cis and trans elements potentially important on mediating transcriptional activation of the PDGF-A chain promoter during lung development (Aims 3 and 4).

研究人员建议评估RA，VITD，类似物， 和地塞米松单独或结合细胞增殖 PDGF及其受体的表达在体外肺发育过程中 （目标1）和体内（目标2）。这将包括对 这些关于肺泡形成和肺功能的治疗方法（AIM 2）。然后，一个 将对调节PDGF表达的机制进行分析，针对 表征顺式和反式元素在中介中可能很重要 肺发育过程中PDGF-A链启动子的转录激活 （目标3和4）。
