Bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD), the chronic lung disease that develops in premature babies following mechanical ventilation and oxygen exposure, is the most common complication of extreme prematurity. Currently, there is no cure for BPD. Increasing evidence indicates early-onset emphysema and pulmonary vascular disease in survivors with BPD (Aukland et al., 2006; Wong et al., 2008), suggesting an irreversible arrest in lung growth and/or premature lung aging resulting in life-long health problems (J. Sucre et al., 2021). Transient in vivo cellular reprogramming through the activation of the Yamanaka reprogramming factors Oct4, Sox2, Klf4, c-Myc (OSKM), ameliorate cellular and physiological hallmarks of aging and to promote tissue regeneration and improve organ function after injury. (Chen et al., 2021a; Hishida et al., 2022b; Lu et al., 2020) This thesis focuses on determining if transient in vivo cellular reprogramming can regenerate an established lung injury in a BPD mouse model. Two strategies, (a) Adeno-Associated virus (AAV) mediated transient overexpression of the OSK factors and (b) using a transgenic reprogrammable mouse line to overexpress the OSKM factors were employed to test the efficiency of in vivo cellular reprogramming in regenerating the lungs. Both the strategies, under the conditions tested, did not regenerate established lung injury in a BPD mouse model but the feasibility of both these strategies was established here laying a foundation for the next phase of the study.
