Although previous studies have demonstrated that BPD is associated with prenatal and postnatal inflammatory stimuli, the inflammatory mechanisms involved immune cell populations have not been fully elucidated. Here, we systematically investigated the roles of myeloid cells in the inflammatory processes underlying BPD. Using single-cell transcriptomic data of normal and BPD mouse lung, we found that the proportions of several myeloid subpopulations were specifically upregulated in BPD lung, including CCR1\n                    <jats:sup>+<\/jats:sup>\n                    monocytes, CD74\n                    <jats:sup>+<\/jats:sup>\n                    macrophages, IL7R\n                    <jats:sup>+<\/jats:sup>\n                    macrophages, MARCO\n                    <jats:sup>+<\/jats:sup>\n                    macrophages, CD63\n                    <jats:sup>+<\/jats:sup>\n                    neutrophils, and CD73\n                    <jats:sup>+<\/jats:sup>\n                    neutrophils.
