Aspirin resistance in pregnancy is associated with reduced interleukin-2 (IL-2) concentrations in maternal serum: Implications for aspirin prophylaxis for preeclampsia. Pregnancy Hypertens 2024; 37:101131. [PMID: 38851168 DOI: 10.1016/j.preghy.2024.101131] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/06/2023] [Revised: 04/19/2024] [Accepted: 05/30/2024] [Indexed: 06/10/2024]
Abstract
OBJECTIVES To evaluate the impact of aspirin resistance on the incidence of preeclampsia and maternal serum biomarker levels in pregnant individuals at high-risk of preeclampsia receiving low dose aspirin (LDA). STUDY DESIGN We performed a secondary analysis of a randomized, placebo-controlled trial of LDA (60 mg daily) for preeclampsia prevention in high-risk individuals (N = 524) on pregnancy outcomes and concentrations of PLGF, IL-2, IL-6, thromboxane B2 (TXB2), sTNF-R1 and sTNF-R2 from maternal serum. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES LDA-resistant individuals were defined as those having a TXB2 concentration >10 ng/ml or <75 % reduction in concentration at 24-28 weeks after LDA administration. Comparisons of outcomes were performed using a Fisher's Exact Test. Mean concentrations of maternal serum biomarkers were compared using a Student's t-test. Pearson correlation was calculated for all pairwise biomarkers. Longitudinal analysis across gestation was performed using linear mixed-effects models accounting for repeated measures and including BMI and maternal age as covariates. RESULTS We classified 60/271 (22.1 %) individuals as LDA-resistant, 179/271 (66.1 %) as LDA-sensitive, and 32/271 (11.8 %) as non-adherent. The prevalence of preeclampsia was not significantly different between the LDA and placebo groups (OR = 1.43 (0.99-2.28), p-value = 0.12) nor between LDA-sensitive and LDA-resistant individuals (OR = 1.27 (0.61-2.8), p-value = 0.60). Mean maternal serum IL-2 concentrations were significantly lower in LDA-resistant individuals relative to LDA-sensitive individuals (FDR < 0.05). CONCLUSIONS These results suggest a potential role for IL-2 in the development of preeclampsia modulated by an individuals' response to aspirin, presenting an opportunity to optimize aspirin prophylaxis on an individual level to reduce the incidence of preeclampsia.

Chemical inhibition of Arabidopsis PIN-FORMED auxin transporters by the anti-inflammatory drug naproxen. PLANT COMMUNICATIONS 2023; 4:100632. [PMID: 37254481 PMCID: PMC10721474 DOI: 10.1016/j.xplc.2023.100632] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/17/2023] [Revised: 04/12/2023] [Accepted: 05/24/2023] [Indexed: 06/01/2023]
Abstract
The phytohormone auxin plays central roles in many growth and developmental processes in plants. Development of chemical tools targeting the auxin pathway is useful for both plant biology and agriculture. Here we reveal that naproxen, a synthetic compound with anti-inflammatory activity in humans, acts as an auxin transport inhibitor targeting PIN-FORMED (PIN) transporters in plants. Physiological experiments indicate that exogenous naproxen treatment affects pleiotropic auxin-regulated developmental processes. Additional cellular and biochemical evidence indicates that naproxen suppresses auxin transport, specifically PIN-mediated auxin efflux. Moreover, biochemical and structural analyses confirm that naproxen binds directly to PIN1 protein via the same binding cavity as the indole-3-acetic acid substrate. Thus, by combining cellular, biochemical, and structural approaches, this study clearly establishes that naproxen is a PIN inhibitor and elucidates the underlying mechanisms. Further use of this compound may advance our understanding of the molecular mechanisms of PIN-mediated auxin transport and expand our toolkit in auxin biology and agriculture.

[DOI: 10.26442/00403660.2022.05.201495] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/16/2022] [Accepted: 06/16/2022] [Indexed: 11/22/2022]
Abstract
Aim. To evaluate the possible association of CYP2C8 gene polymorphisms with the clinical efficacy and safety of ketorolac in relation to postoperative pain.
Materials and methods. The study included 107 patients after video laparoscopic cholecystectomy, who received ketorolac (30 mg 2.0 w/m 3 r/d) as postoperative pain relief. All patients were genotyped for CYP2C8. The pain syndrome was assessed using the visual analog scale, the McGill pain questionnaire. The profile of adverse reactions was assessed by the dynamics of red blood counts, as a possible trigger for the development of gastrointestinal bleeding according to the method of global assessment of triggers (Global Trigger Tool GTT).
Results. According to visual analog scale data: in carriers of the genotype CYP2C8*3 (rs10509681) and CYP2C8*3 (rs11572080) after 12, 24, 36, 48 hours the intensity of pain syndrome is lower than in carriers of the wild type (p0.05). According to the McGill pain questionnaire, there were no statistically significant differences in pain intensity between the two groups.
Conclusion. In carriers of the genotype CYP2C8*3 (rs10509681) and CYP2C8*3 (rs11572080), the effectiveness of anesthesia with ketorolac is higher than in carriers of the wild type. Carriage of the genotype CYP2C8*3 (rs10509681) and CYP2C8*3 (rs10509681) does not affect the risk of developing adverse reactions after ketorolac anesthesia.

Abstract
Drug resistance as a remarkable issue in cancer treatment is associated with inflammation which occurs through complex chemical reactions in the tumor microenvironment. Recent studies have implicated that glucocorticoids and NSAIDs are mainly useful combinations for inflammatory response modulation in chemotherapeutic protocols for cancer treatment. Immunosuppressive actions of glucocorticoids and NSAIDs are mainly mediated by the transrepression or activation regulation of inflammatory genes with different DNA-bound transcription factors including AP-1, NFAT, NF-κB, STAT and also, varying functions of COX enzymes in cancer cells. Interestingly, many investigations have proved the benefits of these anti-inflammatory agents in the quenching of multidrug resistance pathways. Numerous analyses on the ABC transporter promoters showed conserved nucleotide sequences with several DNA response elements that participate in transcriptional regulation. Furthermore, genetic variations in nucleotide sequences of membrane transporters were strongly associated with changes in these transporters' expression or function and a substantial impact on systemic drug exposure and toxicity. It appeared that several polymorphisms in MDR transporter genes especially MDR1 have influenced the regulatory mechanisms and explained differences in glucocorticoid responses.

Abstract
Etiology of back pain is multifactorial and not completely understood, and for the majority of people who suffer from chronic low back pain (cLBP), the precise cause cannot be determined. We know that back pain is somewhat heritable, chronic pain more so than acute. The aim of this review is to compile the genes identified by numerous genetic association studies of chronic pain conditions, focusing on cLBP specifically. Higher-order neurologic processes involved in pain maintenance and generation may explain genetic contributions and functional predisposition to formation of cLBP that does not involve spine pathology. Several genes have been identified in genetic association studies of cLBP and roughly, these genes could be grouped into several categories, coding for: receptors, enzymes, cytokines and related molecules, and transcription factors. Treatment of cLBP should be multimodal. In this review, we discuss how an individual's genotype could affect their response to therapy, as well as how genetic polymorphisms in CYP450 and other enzymes are crucial for affecting the metabolic profile of drugs used for the treatment of cLBP. Implementation of gene-focused pharmacotherapy has the potential to deliver select, more efficacious drugs and avoid unnecessary, polypharmacy-related adverse events in many painful conditions, including cLBP.

Abstract
General anesthesia is a state of unconsciousness, amnesia, analgesia and akinesia induced by drugs including opioids, hypnotic-sedative agents, muscle relaxants and antiemetics. Clinical and genetic factors are reported to influence the efficacy and side effects of these agents. Based on the evidence, clinical action is needed to improve clinical outcomes. This review summarizes the latest knowledge with regards to the pharmacogenetics of anesthetics and general anesthesia related complications.

Abstract
There is interpatient variability to analgesic administration. Much can be traced to pharmacogenomics variations between individuals. Certain ethnicities are more prone to reduced function of CYP2D6. Weak opioids are subject to interpatient variation based on their CYP2D6 type. Strong opioids have variations based on their transport and individual metabolism. Several cytochrome enzymes have been found to be involved with ketamine but there is no strong evidence of individual polymorphisms manifesting in clinical outcomes. Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs have adverse outcomes that certain CYP variants are more prone toward. There are now recommendations for dosing based on specific genomic makeup.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE We evaluated the COX-2 inhibitors, etoricoxib and celecoxib, in Korean patients with osteoarthritis (OA). METHODS This study included patients (≥ 40 years of age) with a clinical and radiographic diagnosis of knee OA. Patients were randomized to etoricoxib 30 mg (qd) or celecoxib 200 mg (qd) in a 12 week randomized, controlled, double-blind study. Prior NSAID users were to demonstrate a worsening of symptoms upon withdrawal of medication. Efficacy endpoints included the time-weighted average change from baseline in the WOMAC VA 3.0 Pain Subscale (100 mm Visual Analog Scale [VAS]; primary endpoint), the WOMAC VA 3.0 Physical Function Subscale (100 mm VAS), and Patient Global Assessment of Disease Status (PGAD) (100 mm VAS). The primary hypothesis was that etoricoxib 30 mg is non-inferior to celecoxib 200 mg as assessed by the primary endpoint (the non-inferiority margin was set at 10 mm VAS). Adverse events (AEs), laboratory parameters, and vital signs were monitored. RESULTS There were 239 patients (89.5% female; mean age: 63.3 years) randomized to etoricoxib 30 mg (n = 120) and celecoxib 200 mg (n = 119). The differences (etoricoxib vs celecoxib) in least square (LS) mean change (95% CI) for WOMAC Pain, WOMAC Physical Function, and PGAD were -1.63 mm (-5.37, 2.10), -1.32 mm (-4.88, 2.23), and -1.09 mm (-5.48, 3.30), respectively. Drug-related clinical AEs occurred in 6.7% (etoricoxib) and 2.5% (celecoxib) of patients. This study was limited because it was not designed or powered to adequately capture and evaluate rare AEs associated with NSAID treatment. CONCLUSIONS Etoricoxib 30 mg administered once daily in Korean patients with knee OA demonstrated non-inferior clinical efficacy to celecoxib 200 mg over 12 weeks of treatment as assessed by all primary and secondary outcomes. Etoricoxib 30 mg qd and celecoxib 200 mg qd were generally safe and well tolerated. CLINICAL TRIAL REGISTRATION NCT01554163.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Assess the efficacy and safety of etoricoxib 120 mg compared with ibuprofen 600 mg qid in the treatment of moderate to severe primary dysmenorrhea in Chinese women. METHODS This multicenter, double-blind, two-period, cross-over study randomized healthy, Chinese women ≥18 years of age to etoricoxib 120 mg qd or ibuprofen up to 2400 mg (600 mg qid) upon onset of moderate or severe primary dysmenorrhea symptoms during two menstrual cycles. The primary efficacy endpoint was Total Pain Relief score over the first 6 hours (TOPAR6). Secondary endpoints included Sum of Pain Intensity Difference scores over the first 6 hours (SPID6) and Patient's Global Evaluation (GLOBAL) of pain at 6 and 24 hours post initial dose. The primary hypothesis was that etoricoxib would be non-inferior to ibuprofen. Adverse experiences (AE) were monitored and evaluated. RESULTS A total of 139 patients were included in this study. Difference in least squares (LS) mean (95% CI) TOPAR6 score for etoricoxib vs. ibuprofen was 0.89 (0.03, 1.76) (p = 0.043). LS mean (95% CI) difference for etoricoxib vs. ibuprofen SPID6, GLOBAL6, and GLOBAL24 were 0.20 (-1.16, 1.57) (p = 0.768), 0.26 (0.07, 0.45) (p = 0.007), and 0.36 (0.17, 0.54) (p < 0.001), respectively. AEs were rare, with the following AEs determined to be drug-related: hypomenorrhea (two patients on etoricoxib) and allergic dermatitis (one patient on ibuprofen). Limitations of the study design include a sample size that is not adequate for evaluation of rare adverse effects, an evaluation period that was limited to 24 hours, and inconsistent frequency of active treatment doses between etoricoxib (once daily) and ibuprofen (up to four times daily). CONCLUSIONS The primary objective of the study was met, demonstrating that etoricoxib 120 mg qd was non-inferior to ibuprofen 600 mg qid; further, etoricoxib was statistically superior to ibuprofen 600 mg qid according to the primary endpoint (TOPAR6) and patient global assessments of study medication. Etoricoxib and ibuprofen were generally well tolerated.
