Schürmann M, Goon P, Sudhoff H. Review of potential medical treatments for middle ear cholesteatoma. Cell Commun Signal 2022; 20:148. [PMID: 36123729 PMCID: PMC9487140 DOI: 10.1186/s12964-022-00953-w] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/30/2022] [Accepted: 08/05/2022] [Indexed: 11/15/2022] Open
Abstract
Middle ear cholesteatoma (MEC), is a destructive, and locally invasive lesion in the middle ear driven by inflammation with an annual incidence of 10 per 100,000. Surgical extraction/excision remains the only treatment strategy available and recurrence is high (up to 40%), therefore developing the first pharmaceutical treatments for MEC is desperately required. This review was targeted at connecting the dysregulated inflammatory network of MEC to pathogenesis and identification of pharmaceutical targets. We summarized the numerous basic research endeavors undertaken over the last 30+ years to identify the key targets in the dysregulated inflammatory pathways and judged the level of evidence for a given target if it was generated by in vitro, in vivo or clinical experiments. MEC pathogenesis was found to be connected to cytokines characteristic for Th1, Th17 and M1 cells. In addition, we found that the inflammation created damage associated molecular patterns (DAMPs), which further promoted inflammation. Similar positive feedback loops have already been described for other Th1/Th17 driven inflammatory diseases (arthritis, Crohn’s disease or multiple sclerosis). A wide-ranging search for molecular targeted therapies (MTT) led to the discovery of over a hundred clinically approved drugs already applied in precision medicine. Based on exclusion criteria designed to enable fast translation as well as efficacy, we condensed the numerous MTTs down to 13 top drugs. The review should serve as groundwork for the primary goal, which is to provide potential pharmaceutical therapies to MEC patients for the first time in history. Video Abstract
Middle ear cholesteatoma (MEC) is a destructive and locally invasive ulcerated lesion in the middle ear driven by inflammation which occurs in 10 out of 100,000 people annually. Surgical extraction/excision is the only treatment strategy available and recurrence is high (up to 40% after ten years), therefore developing the first pharmaceutical treatments for MEC is desperately required. This review is focused on the connections between inflammation and MEC pathogenesis. These connections can be used as attack points for pharmaceuticals. For this we summarized the results of research undertaken over the last 30 + years. MEC pathogenesis can be described by specific inflammatory dysregulation already known from arthritis, Crohn’s disease or multiple sclerosis. A hallmark of this dysregulation are positive feedback loops of the inflammation further amplifying itself in a vicious circle-like manner. We have identified over one hundred drugs which are already used in clinic to treat other inflammatory diseases, and could potentially be repurposed to treat MEC. To improve and expedite clinical success rates, we applied certain criteria based on our literature searches and condensed these drugs down to the 13 top drugs. We hope the review will serve as groundwork for the primary goal, which is to provide potential pharmaceutical therapies to MEC patients for the first time in history.

[PMID: 34318900 PMCID: PMC8335584 DOI: 10.3892/mmr.2021.12321] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/24/2021] [Accepted: 06/24/2021] [Indexed: 01/16/2023] Open
Abstract
Kaempferol, a flavonoid compound, has various biological functions, such as anti-inflammatory and antitumor activities. Acute liver failure (ALF) is a lethal clinical syndrome that occurs due to severe damage of the liver function. In the present study, the mechanisms underlying the therapeutic effects of kaempferol in ALF were evaluated. An ALF mouse model was established using D-galactosamine (D-GalN; 700 mg/kg)/lipopolysaccharide (LPS; 10 µg/kg). A total of 2 h before the administration of D-GalN/LPS, mice were pretreated with different doses of kaempferol (2.5, 5, 10, 20 and 40 mg/kg), and 6 h after injection of D-GalN/LPS, mice were euthanized. The survival rate, liver function and levels of inflammatory cytokines were assessed. The results demonstrated that kaempferol pretreatment protected hepatocytes from ALF induced by D-GalN/LPS via regulation of the autophagy pathway, both in vivo and in vitro. Pretreatment with a high dose of kaempferol significantly decreased the survival rates and increased severe liver damage; however, pretreatment with a low dose of kaempferol had the opposite effect. Furthermore, pretreatment with a high dose of kaempferol enhanced the levels of proinflammatory cytokines [TNF-α, IL-6, IL-12p40, IL-1β, C-X-C motif chemokine ligand (CXCL)-2, CXCL-10] and markers of the MAPK signaling pathway [phosphorylated (p)-JNK, p-ERK, p-p38], whereas pretreatment with a low dose of kaempferol had the opposite effect. Pretreatment with a high dose of kaempferol decreased autophagy, whereas pretreatment with a low dose of kaempferol increased autophagy in vivo and in vitro. It was also shown that pretreatment with 3-methyadenine or autophagy related 7 small interfering RNA, to inhibit autophagy, partially abrogated the hepatoprotective effects of pretreatment with 5 mg/kg kaempferol in the ALF mouse model. These results demonstrate that the effects of different doses of kaempferol on D-GalN/LPS-induced ALF varies based on the dose, and that kaempferol exerted its effects via regulation of the autophagy pathway.

Abstract
As an emerging global health crisis, coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) has been labeled a worldwide pandemic. Growing evidence is revealing further pathophysiological mechanisms of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). Amongst these dysregulated pathways inflammation seems to play a more critical role toward COVID-19 complications. In the present study, precise inflammatory pathways triggered by SARS-CoV-2, along with potential therapeutic candidates have been discussed. Prevailing evidence has indicated a close correlation of inflammatory cascades with severity, pathological progression, and organ damages in COVID-19 patients. From the mechanistic point of view, interleukin-6, interleukin-1β receptor, interferon-gamma, tumor necrosis factor-alpha receptor, toll-like receptor, receptor tyrosine kinases, growth factor receptor, Janus kinase/signal transducers and transcription pathway, mammalian target of rapamycin, cytokine storm and macrophage activation have shown to play critical roles in COVID-19 complications. So, there is an urgent need to provide novel mechanistic-based anti-inflammatory agents. This review highlights inflammatory signaling pathways of SARS-CoV-2. Several therapeutic targets and treatment strategies have also been provided in an attempt to tackle COVID-19 complications.

Exp Ther Med 2019; 18:1619-1626. [PMID: 31410117 PMCID: PMC6676094 DOI: 10.3892/etm.2019.7726] [Citation(s) in RCA: 7] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.4] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/01/2018] [Accepted: 05/23/2019] [Indexed: 02/06/2023] Open
Abstract
The aim of the present study was to explore the pharmacological role of rivaroxaban in rats with arteriosclerosis obliterans (ASO) and the potential mechanism of its action. A total of 60 adult male Sprague Dawley (weighing 210–250 g) were randomly assigned into either the sham group, model group or Riv group. Rats in the sham group were fed a normal diet, whereas those in model group and Riv group were fed a high-fat diet for 8 weeks. After establishment of the ASO model, rats in the Riv group were intragastrically administered 10 mg/kg rivaroxaban, whereas those in the sham group and the model group were administrated with the same volume of 0.9% saline for 4 weeks. At the end of animal procedures, a blood sample and the femoral artery of the rats were harvested. The results of the present study revealed that rats in the model group presented with an irregularly narrowed femoral artery lumen, disordered endothelial cells, internal elastic plates and smooth muscle cells. By comparison, the arterial wall structure and stenosis of the femoral artery of rats in Riv group recovered and all the pathological changes were alleviated after rivaroxaban treatment. Levels of total cholesterol, triglycerides and low-density lipoproteins decreased, whereas the level of high-density lipoproteins increased in the Riv group compared with the model group. Rivaroxaban treatment significantly reduced serum levels of interleukin-1, tumor necrosis factor-α and monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 (MCP-1), and increased the serum level of transforming growth factor-β (TGF-β). Rats in the Riv group had reduced expression of toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4), NF-κB and MCP-1, and increased expression of TGF-β in femoral artery tissues compared with the model group. Therefore rivaroxaban may have exerted its anti-atherosclerotic effects by regulating the expression of genes in the TLR4/NF-κB signaling pathway and the activation of the downstream molecules.

Sustained bile drainage decreases the organs injuries via inflammation-associated factors modulation in a severe acute pancreatitis rat model. Exp Ther Med 2019; 17:4628-4634.

Abstract
The timely and effective treatment for severe acute pancreatitis (SAP) is favorable to prognosis. Decompression of the bile duct might be a feasible way to decrease the progression of SAP. The present study investigated the effects of sustained bile external drainage on organs injury caused by SAP in Sprague-Dawley (SD) rats and the mechanisms involved. A total of 72 female SD rats weighting 190-230 g were randomly divided into four groups (n=18): Sham operation group (SOG), SOG + bile drainage group (BDG), SAP group, and SAP + BDG. Sodium taurocholate solution (4%; 1 mg/kg body weight) was used to set up SAP model via injection of retrograde puncture of biliopancreatic duct through the duodenum. A cannula was inserted into the bile duct and fixed externally to establish BDG model. At each time points (t=3, 6, 12; n=6), tissues from the liver, lung, and pancreas, and blood samples were collected. Serum amylase (AMY) was analyzed in all the samples. The levels of tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1), interleukin-10 (IL-10) and high mobility group box 1 (HMGB1) were detected by ELISA. Hematoxylin-eosin staining was performed to observe the histopathological changes, and nuclear transcription factor (NF)-κB-p65 levels in the pancreas were analyzed by western blotting. The data indicated that BDG alleviated the SAP progression and multiple organs injuries. Meanwhile, the histopathological changes of the pancreas, liver, and lungs were improved by BDG. BDG decreased the pathological scores of pancreas significantly (P<0.05). The levels of AMY, TNF-α, HMGB1, and NF-κB-p65 were significantly downregulated by BDG (P<0.05), while the level of HO-1 was upregulated and IL-10 was unchanged. In summary, BDG may attenuate the multiple organs injuries caused by SAP via downregulation of TNF-α, HMGB1, NF-κB-p65 and upregulation of HO-1.

Abstract
Severe acute pancreatitis (SAP) starts as a local inflammation of pancreatic tissue that induces the development of multiple extra-pancreatic organ dysfunction; however, the underlying mechanisms remain unclear. The present study was designed to evaluate the effect of dexamethasone (DXM) on pancreatic damage and to investigate the role of high-mobility group box-1 (HMGB1) and nuclear factor-κB (NF-κBp65) in the development of SAP in animal and cell models. For the in vivo experiment, 35 Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly assigned to three groups: The sham-operation control group, the SAP group and the DXM treatment group. Histological analysis revealed that, when DXM was infused into SAP rats, edema formation and structural alterations with necrosis were reduced, and the number of apoptotic cells was markedly reduced. In addition, compared with the SAP group, the expression level of HMGB1 was significantly decreased in the nucleus and the expression level of NF-κBp65 was significantly decreased in the cytoplasm from rats treated with DXM. In vitro, DXM was able to suppress the apoptosis and cell death induced by caerulein (CAE), and DXM could suppress the expression of NF-κBp65 and HMGB1 induced by CAE, as demonstrated by western blotting and immunofluorescence analysis. Therefore, these results provide an experimental basis for investigating the underlying therapeutic mechanisms of DXM treatment for SAP.

Abstract
The mechanisms underlying secondary brain damage following traumatic brain injury (TBI) remain unclear. A great many studies have demonstrated that inflammatory cascades contribute to brain damage through the activation of immune/inflammatory responses, including the increased release of cytokines and chemokines, and the recruitment of leukocytes. The cells and tissues damaged by primary mechanical injury release a number of endogenous factors acting as damage-associated molecular patterns (DAMPs), which initiate and perpetuate noninfectious inflammatory responses through transduction signaling pathways. Toll-like receptors (TLRs) are a transmembrane receptor family that can recognize the specific DAMPs released from damaged cells and recruit a set of adaptors leading to the activation of downstream kinases and nuclear factors which regulate the expression of inflammatory genes. The activation of inflammatory responses mediated by TLR signaling is closely associated with brain tissue damage and neurological dysfunction following TBI. TLRs and their downstream protein kinases may be potential targets for the treatment of TBI. Modulation of TLR-mediated signaling may attenuate brain damage and improve TBI outcome. In this review, we briefly discuss the role of TLR-mediated signaling in TBI and the new treatments targeting TLR signaling. This article is part of the Special Issue entitled "Novel Treatments for Traumatic Brain Injury".

Abstract
The prevalence of vascular dementia is increasing at an alarming rate. The Confirmation of the clinical diagnosis of vascular dementia depends on post-mortem examination of the brain. In our study, we investigated the vascular disease and neuroinflammation during vascular dementia. Our results showed a β-amyloid deposits, neovascularization, neuronal hypertrophy and neuroinflammation in the hippocampus tissue. Interestingly, the neuroinflammation was characterized by a higher expression of TNF-α, IL-1β, TGF-β and iNOS which are TLR4/RelA pathway dependent. Finally, the finding of necroptosis by impaired blood supply and inflammation state suggests that the cognitive impairment was caused by vascular disease and neuroinflammation.

Abstract
Sjögren's syndrome (SS) is an autoimmune disease of exocrine tissue that primarily affects women. Although patients typically experience xerostomia and xerophthalmia, numerous systemic disease manifestations are seen. Innate immune hyperactivity is integral to many autoimmune diseases, including SS. Results from SS mouse models suggest that innate immune dysregulation drives disease and this is a seminal event in SS pathogenesis. Findings in SS patients corroborate those in mouse models, as innate immune cells and pathways are dysregulated both in exocrine tissue and in peripheral blood. We will review the role of the innate immune system in SS pathogenesis. We will discuss the etiology of SS with an emphasis on innate immune dysfunction. Moreover, we will review the innate cells that mediate inflammation in SS, the pathways implicated in disease, and the potential mechanisms governing their dysregulation. Finally, we will discuss emerging therapeutic approaches to target dysregulated innate immune signaling in SS.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION The incidence of type 1 diabetes (T1D) is increasing worldwide and there is a very large need for effective therapies. Essentially no therapies other than insulin are currently approved for the treatment of T1D. Drugs already in use for type 2 diabetes and many new drugs are under clinical development for T1D, including compounds with both established and new mechanisms of action. Content of the Review: Most of the new compounds in clinical development are currently in Phase 1 and 2. Drug classes discussed in this review include new insulins, SGLT inhibitors, GLP-1 agonists, immunomodulatory drugs including autoantigens and anti-cytokines, agents that regenerate β-cells and others. Regulatory Considerations: In addition, considerations are provided with regard to the regulatory environment for the clinical development of drugs for T1D, with a focus on the United States Food and Drug Administration and the European Medicines Agency. Future opportunities, such as combination treatments of immunomodulatory and beta-cell regenerating therapies, are also discussed.
