Bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) is the most common complication of premature infants. About 25% children with moderate to severe BPD may be complicated with BPD-associated pulmonary hypertension (PH), which is the main reason that affects survival rate and life quality of children with BPD in the future. At present, prevention and treatments for BPD and BPD-associated PH are so limited that it is urgent to investigate its pathogenesis and subsequently targeted treatment. In recent years, many studies have found abnormalities in many signaling pathways during the development of BPD and BPD-associated PH, such as angiopoietin (Ang), vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), transforming growth factor (TGF)-β, Wnt, connective tissue growth factor (CTGF), fibroblast growth factor (FGF)10, microRNA (miRNA), and caveolin (Cav)-1-related signaling pathways. All these findings could deepen the understanding of pathogenesis of BPD and BPD-associated PH and provide new ideas of the treatment. This paper reviews the current researches of signaling pathways involved in BPD and BPD-associated PH.
