At postnatal day 1, the right carotid artery was ligated and followed by exposure to hypoxia. Forebrains (n = 220) were collected to study the TNF-alpha system.LPS alone or combined with hypoxia-ischemia (HI) led to a slight decrease of intracerebral TNF-alpha, whereas sole HI induced no variation. TNF-alpha-converting enzyme followed the same pattern of expression as TNF-alpha. TNF receptor 1 was up-regulated in forebrains that were submitted to LPS alone or combined with HI. No variation was observed in TNF receptor 2 expression.The minimal expression of the TNF-alpha system that we observed may indicate that this pathway is not central in the pathogenesis of brain lesions in early premature neonates.
