摘要： Preterm infants are at high risks of sepsis and necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC). Some develop sepsis shortly after suspected or confirmed NEC, implying that NEC may predispose to sepsis but the underlying mechanisms are unknown. Using NEC-sensitive preterm pigs as models, we investigated the immune status in animals following development of subclinical NEC-like lesions with variable severities. Caesarean-delivered preterm pigs were reared until day 5 or day 9. Blood was analyzed for T-cell subsets, neutrophil phagocytosis, transcriptomics, and immune responses to in vitro LPS challenge. Gut tissues were used for histology and cytokine analyses. Pigs with/without macroscopic NEC lesions were scored as healthy, mild, or severe NEC. Overall NEC incidence was similar on day 5 and day 9 (61%-62%) but with lower severity on day 9, implying gradual mucosal repair following the early phase of NEC. Pigs with NEC showed decreased goblet cell density and increased MPOþ and CD3þ cell infiltration in the distal small intestine or colon. Mild or severe NEC lesions had limited effects on circulating parameters on day 5. On day 9, pigs with NEC lesions (especially severe lesions) showed systemic immune suppression, as indicated by elevated Treg frequency, impaired neutrophil phagocytosis, low expression of genes related to innate immunity and Th1 polarization, and diminished LPS-induced immune responses. In conclusion, we shows evidence for NEC-induced systemic immune suppression, even with mild and subclinical NEC lesions. The results help to explain that preterm infants suffering from NEC may show high sensitivity to later secondary infections and sepsis. NEW & NOTEWORTHY Necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC) and sepsis are common diseases in preterm infants. Many develop sepsis following an episode of suspected NEC, suggesting NEC as a predisposing factor for sepsis but mechanisms are unclear. Using preterm pigs as a model, now we show that subclinical NEC lesions, independent of clinical confounding factors, induces systemic immune suppression. The results may help to explain the increased risks of infection and sepsis in preterm infants with previous NEC diagnosis.
