[PMID: 38757723 PMCID: PMC11104694 DOI: 10.1080/0886022x.2024.2354918] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/05/2023] [Accepted: 05/08/2024] [Indexed: 05/18/2024] Open
Abstract
Cisplatin is a particularly potent antineoplastic drug. However, its usefulness is restricted due to the induction of nephrotoxicity. More recent research has indicated that β-hydroxybutyrate (β-HB) protects against acute or chronic organ damage as an efficient healing agent. Nonetheless, the therapeutic mechanisms of β-HB in acute kidney damage caused by chemotherapeutic drugs remain unclear. Our study developed a model of cisplatin-induced acute kidney injury (AKI), which involved the administration of a ketogenic diet or β-HB. We analyzed blood urea nitrogen (BUN) and creatinine (Cr) levels in serum, and used western blotting and immunohistochemical staining to assess ferroptosis and the calcium/calmodulin-dependent kinase kinase 2 (Camkk2)/AMPK pathway. The mitochondrial morphology and function were examined. Additionally, we conducted in vivo and in vitro experiments using selective Camkk2 inhibitor or activator to investigate the protective mechanism of β-HB on cisplatin-induced AKI. Exogenous or endogenous β-HB effectively alleviated cisplatin-induced abnormally elevated levels of BUN and Cr and renal tubular necrosis in vivo. Additionally, β-HB reduced ferroptosis biomarkers and increased the levels of anti-ferroptosis biomarkers in the kidney. β-HB also improved mitochondrial morphology and function. Moreover, β-HB significantly attenuated cisplatin-induced cell ferroptosis and damage in vitro. Furthermore, western blotting and immunohistochemical staining indicated that β-HB may prevent kidney injury by regulating the Camkk2-AMPK pathway. The use of the Camkk2 inhibitor or activator verified the involvement of Camkk2 in the renal protection by β-HB. This study provided evidence of the protective effects of β-HB against cisplatin-induced nephrotoxicity and identified inhibited ferroptosis and Camkk2 as potential molecular mechanisms.

The effects of pentoxifylline and caffeic acid phenethyl ester on TNF-α and lung histopathology in D-galactosamine-induced pulmonary injury in rats. Tissue Cell 2023; 82:102085. [PMID: 37018928 DOI: 10.1016/j.tice.2023.102085] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/25/2022] [Revised: 03/31/2023] [Accepted: 03/31/2023] [Indexed: 04/03/2023]
Abstract
In this study, we aimed to investigate the effects of pentoxifylline [PTX] and caffeic acid phenethyl ester [CAPE] in D-galactosamine [D-GAL]-induced pulmonary injury in rats. The rats were randomly divided into six groups: control, D-GAL, D-GAL+PTX, D-GAL+CAPE, PTX and CAPE. Each group included eight animals. Lung sections from the control, PTX and CAPE groups had a normal histological appearance. The D-GAL group showed histopathological changes in lung tissue, including haemorrhage, oedema, inter-alveolar septal thickening and widespread infiltration of inflammatory lymphocytes and macrophages. Administration of PTX and CAPE significantly reduced histopathological damage scores in the D-GAL+PTX and D-GAL+CAPE groups compared with the D-GAL group. PTX and CAPE treatment also significantly decreased malondialdehyde levels, increased levels of reduced GSH and increased catalase and superoxide dismutase activity in lung tissue samples. These results indicate that the destructive effects of D-GAL-induced inflammation in the rat lung are significantly reduced following administration of PTX and CAPE.

Front Immunol 2023; 13:1096813.

Abstract
Introduction Subclinical ketosis (SCK) in dairy cows, a common metabolic disorder during the perinatal period, is accompanied by systemic inflammation and a high concentration of blood β-hydroxybutyrate (BHB). BHB induced adhesion of neutrophils may play a crucial role in the development of systemic inflammation in SCK cows. Autophagy, an intracellular degradation system, regulates the recycling of membrane adhesion molecules and may be involved in BHB regulating adhesion and pro-inflammatory activation of bovine neutrophils. Thus, the objective of this study was to determine the relationship between BHB, autophagy, and neutrophil adhesion. Results and discussion Here, elevated abundance of serum amyloid A, haptoglobin, C-reactive protein, interleukin-1β, interleukin-6, and tumor necrosis factor-α were found in SCK cows, and all these pro-inflammatory factors had a strong positive correlation with serum BHB. After BHB treatment, the number of adherent neutrophils and the adhesion associated protein abundance of both total and membrane CD11a, CD11b, and CD18 was greater, confirming that BHB promoted the adhesion of bovine neutrophils. However, the mRNA abundance of ITGAL (CD11a), ITGAM (CD11b), and ITGB2 (CD18) did not show a significant difference, suggesting that the degradation of adhesion molecules may be impaired. Transmission electron microscopy revealed a decreased number of autophagosomes and a decrease in mRNA abundance of SQSTM1 (p62) and MAP1LC3B (LC3) after BHB treatment. In parallel, protein abundance of p62 increased while the ratio of protein LC3 II to LC3 I decreased after BHB treatment, indicating that BHB inhibits autophagy of bovine neutrophils. To confirm the regulatory role of autophagy in BHB promoting neutrophil adhesion, we used an autophagy activator rapamycin (RAPA). Data showed that RAPA relieved the inhibitory effect on autophagy and the promotive effect on cell adhesion induced by BHB. Importantly, BHB inhibited the colocalization of LC3 and CD11b, which was relieved by RAPA, further confirming the regulatory role of autophagy in the recycling of the above adhesion molecules. Furthermore, BHB treatment increased the mRNA abundance and the release of pro-inflammatory factors IL-1B, IL-6, and TNF of bovine neutrophils, and these effects were attenuated by RAPA. Overall, the present study revealed that BHB promotes the adhesion of bovine neutrophils by inhibiting autophagy.

Abstract
Acute liver injury (ALI) is a life-threatening syndrome with high mortality and lacks effective therapies. Rodents under LPS (lipopolysaccharide)/D-Gal (D-galactosamine) stress mimic ALI by presenting dramatically increased inflammation and cell death in the liver. Euglena gracilis, functioning like dietary fiber, is commonly used as a paramylon (Pa)-rich nutritional supplement that has various biological effects such as regulating immune system, anti-obesity, and anti-tumor. Here, we found that Pa or sonicated and alkalized paramylon (SA-Pa) alleviated the LPS/D-Gal-induced hepatic histopathological abnormalities in mice. Compared with Pa, SA-Pa had lower molecular weights/sizes and showed better efficacy in alleviating injury-induced hepatic functions, as well as the transcriptional levels of inflammatory cytokines. Moreover, SA-Pa treatment promoted M2 macrophage activation that enhanced the anti-inflammatory function in the liver, and downregulated STAT3 target genes, such as Fos, Jun, and Socs3 upon the injury. Meanwhile, SA-Pa treatment also alleviated apoptosis and necroptosis caused by the injury. Our results demonstrated that SA-Pa efficiently protected the liver from LPS/D-Gal-induced ALI by alleviating inflammation and cell death.

Hepatoprotective effect of diallyl trisulfide against lipopolysaccharide and D-galactosamine induced acute liver failure in mice via suppressing inflammation and apoptosis. Toxicol Res (Camb) 2022; 11:263-271.

Abstract
Acute liver failure (ALF), characterized by the quick occurrence of disorder in liver, is a serious liver injury with extremely high mortality. Therefore, we investigated whether diallyl trisulfide (DATS), a natural product from garlic, protected against ALF in mice and studied underlying mechanisms. In the present study, lipopolysaccharide (LPS) (10 μg·kg-1)/D-galactosamine (D-gal) (500 mg·kg-1) was intraperitoneally injected to ICR mice to induce ALF. The mice were orally administered 20-, 40-, or 80-mg·kg-1 DATS) 1 h before LPS/D-gal exposure. Serum biochemical analyses and pathological study found that DATS pretreatment effectively prevented the ALF in LPS/D-gal-treated mice. Mechanistically, pretreatment of DATS inhibited the increase of the numbers of CD11b+ Kupffer cells and other macrophages in the liver, the release of tumor necrosis factor-α into the blood, and Caspase-1 activation induced by LPS/D-gal treatment in mice. Furthermore, DATS inhibited the activation of Caspase-3, downregulation of Bcl-2/Bax ratio, and increase of TUNEL positive staining. Altogether, our findings suggest that DATS exhibits hepatoprotective effects against ALF elicited by LPS/D-gal challenge, which probably associated with anti-inflammation and anti-apoptosis.

Abstract
Stroke is one of the leading causes of disability and death. Increasing evidence indicates that β-hydroxybutyrate (BHB) exerts beneficial effects in treating stroke, but the underlying mechanism remains largely unknown. In this study, we injected different doses of BHB into the lateral ventricle in middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO) model rats and neuronal cells were treated with different doses of BHB followed by oxygen-glucose deprivation (OGD). We found that a moderate dose of BHB enhanced mitochondrial complex I respiratory chain complex I activity, reduced oxidative stress, inhibited mitochondrial apoptosis, improved neurological scores, and reduced infarct volume after ischemia. We further showed that the effects of BHB were achieved by upregulating the dedicated BHB transporter SMCT1 and activating the Erk/CREB/eNOS pathway. These results provide us with a foundation for a novel understanding of the neuroprotective effects of BHB in stroke.
