Necrotizing enterocolitis is the leading cause of morbidity and mortality from
gastrointestinal disease in premature infants and is characterized by initial
feeding intolerance and abdominal distention followed by the rapid progression to
coagulation necrosis of the intestine and death in many cases. Although the risk
factors for NEC development remain well accepted, namely premature birth and
formula feeding, the underlying mechanisms remain incompletely understood.
Current thinking indicates that NEC develops in response to an abnormal
interaction between the mucosal immune system of the premature host and an
abnormal indigenous microflora, leading to an exaggerated mucosal inflammatory
response and impaired mesenteric perfusion. In seeking to understand the
molecular and cellular events leading to NEC, various animal models have been
developed. However, the large number and variability between the available animal
models and the unique characteristics of each has raised important questions
regarding the validity of particular models for NEC research. In an attempt to
provide some guidance to the growing community of NEC researchers, we now seek to
review the key features of the major NEC models that have been developed in
mammalian and nonmammalian species and to assess the advantages, disadvantage,
challenges and major scientific discoveries yielded by each. A strategy for model
validation is proposed, the principal models are compared, and future directions
and challenges within the field of NEC research are explored.
