Recently, Liao et al. found that glibenclamide (5 μM) protected neonatal mice from developing bronchopulmonary dysplasia, which was associated with inhibition of caspase-1 activation, reduction in interleukin-1 beta (IL-1β) production, and suppression of neutrophils and macrophages influx [10]. This evidence concerns the gene IL1B and bronchopulmonary dysplasia.
