[PMID: 35435293 DOI: 10.1111/ctr.14667] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/10/2021] [Revised: 03/06/2022] [Accepted: 03/31/2022] [Indexed: 11/29/2022]
Abstract
Living donor liver transplantation was first developed to mitigate the limited access to deceased donor organs in Asia in the 1990s. This alternative liver transplantation option has become an established and widely practiced transplantation method for adult patients suffering from end-stage liver disease. It has successfully addressed the shortage of deceased donors. The Society for the Advancement of Transplant Anesthesia and the Korean Society of Transplant Anesthesia jointly reviewed published studies on the perioperative management of live donor liver transplant recipients. The review aims to offer transplant anesthesiologists and critical care physicians a comprehensive overview of the perioperative management of adult live liver transplantation recipients. We feature the status, outcomes, surgical procedure, portal venous decompression, anesthetic management, prevention of acute kidney injury, avoidance of blood transfusion, monitoring and therapeutic strategies of hemodynamic derangements, and Enhanced Recovery After Surgery protocols for liver transplant recipients.

Chitosan protects liver against ischemia-reperfusion injury via regulating Bcl-2/Bax, TNF-α and TGF-β expression. Int J Biol Macromol 2020; 164:1565-1574. [PMID: 32735924 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijbiomac.2020.07.212] [Citation(s) in RCA: 11] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/26/2020] [Revised: 07/15/2020] [Accepted: 07/26/2020] [Indexed: 01/20/2023]
Abstract
The study aimed to investigate the potential attenuation effect of chitosan in liver ischemia/reperfusion injury (I/R), and its relevant protective mechanisms. Chitosan (200 mg/kg) has been administered orally for 30 days, later animals underwent liver 45 min ischemia and reperfusion for 60 min. Following treatment with chitosan, the levels of serum aminotransferases and lactate dehydrogenase were significantly reduced. Similarly, hepatic (GSH, SOD, CAT, GST and GPx) were enhanced, and the level of tissue malondialdehyde (MDA) was decreased. In addition, inflammatory cytokinesis (TNF-α and TGF-β) have recorded a significant decrease in their mRNA expression and protein levels using qPCR and ELISA respectively. Marked reduction of apoptosis has been indicated by the elevation in BCL2, and decreasing in BAX, Caspace-3 and Cytochrome-c expression levels, which furthermore confirmed by DNA fragmentation assay. The enhancement of the previous parameters resulted in a marked improvement in the liver architectures after chitosan administration. In conclusion, chitosan has proved its efficiency as an anti-inflammatory and antioxidant agent through its inhibitory effect of cytokines and reducing ROS respectively. In addition, chitosan could modulate the changes in histological structure and alleviate apoptosis induced by liver I/R, which recommend it as an efficient agent for protection against liver I/R injury.

Abstract
BACKGROUND We investigated the effects of propofol vs desflurane on ischemia and reperfusion injury (IRI)-induced inflammatory responses, especially in matrix metalloproteinase-9 (MMP-9) downregulation and heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1) upregulation, which may result in different clinical outcomes in liver transplant recipients. METHODS Fifty liver transplant recipients were randomized to receive propofol-based total intravenous anesthesia (TIVA group, n = 25) or desflurane anesthesia (DES group, n = 25). We then measured the following: perioperative serum cytokine concentrations (interleukin 1 receptor antagonist [IL-1RA], IL-6, IL-8, and IL-10); MMP-9 and HO-1 mRNA expression levels at predefined intervals. Further, postoperative outcomes were compared between the 2 groups. RESULTS The TIVA group showed a significant HO-1 level increase following the anhepatic phase and a significant MMP-9 reduction after reperfusion, in addition to a significant increase in IL-10 levels after the anhepatic phase and IL-1RA levels after reperfusion. Compared to DES patients, TIVA patients showed a faster return of the international normalized ratio to normal values, lower plasma alanine aminotransferase concentrations 24 hours after transplantation, and fewer patients developing acute lung injury. Moreover, compared with DES patients, TIVA patients showed a significant reduction in serum blood lactate levels. However, there were no differences in postoperative outcomes between the two groups. CONCLUSION Propofol-based TIVA attenuated inflammatory response (elevated IL-1RA and IL-10 levels), downregulated MMP-9 response, and increased HO-1 expression with improved recovery of graft function and better microcirculation compared with desflurane anesthesia in liver transplant recipients.

Abstract
Abstract
Reducing oxidative stress is an effective method to prevent hepatic ischaemia/reperfusion injury (HIRI). This study focuses on the role of propofol on the oxidative stress of hepatic cells and the involved lncRNA-TUG1/Brahma-related gene 1 (Brg1) pathway in HIRI mice. The mouse HIRI model was established and was intraperitoneally injected with propofol postconditioning. Hepatic injury indexes were used to evaluate HIRI. The oxidative stress was indicated by increasing 8-isoprostane concentration. Mouse hepatic cell line AML12 was treated with hypoxia and subsequent reoxygenation (H/R). The targeted regulation of lncRNA-TUG1 on Brg1 was proved by RNA pull-down, RIP (RNA-binding protein immunoprecipitation) and the expression level of Brg1 responds to silencing or overexpression of lncRNA-TUG1. Propofol alleviates HIRI and induces the upregulation of lncRNA-TUG1 in the mouse HIRI model. Propofol increases cell viability and lncRNA-TUG1 expression level in H/R-treated hepatic cells. In H/R plus propofol-treated hepatic cells, lncRNA-TUG1 silencing reduces cell viability and increased oxidative stress. LncRNA-TUG1 interacts with Brg1 protein and keeps its level via inhibiting its degradation. Brg1 overexpression reverses lncRNA-TUG1 induced the reduction of cell viability and the increase in oxidative stress. LncRNA-TUG1 silencing abrogates the protective role of propofol against HIRI in the mouse HIRI model. LncRNA-TUG1 has a targeted regulation of Brg1, and thereby affects the oxidative stress induced by HIRI. This pathway mediates the protective effect of propofol against HIRI of hepatic cell.

Abstract
Mitochondrial dysfunction, reactive oxygen species (ROS) production and oxidative stress during reperfusion are determinant in hepatic ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury but may be impacted by different anesthetic agents. Thus, we aimed at comparing the effects of inhaled sevoflurane or intravenous propofol anesthesia on liver mitochondria in a rodent model of hepatic I/R injury. To this, male Wistar rats underwent I/R surgery using sevoflurane or propofol. In the I/R model, propofol limited the raise in serum aminotransferase levels as compared to sevoflurane. Mitochondrial oxygen uptake, respiratory activity, membrane potential and proton leak were altered in I/R; however, this impairment was significantly prevented by propofol but not sevoflurane. In addition, differently from sevoflurane, propofol limited hepatic I/R-induced mitochondria H2O2 production rate, free radical leak and hydroxynonenal-protein adducts levels. The I/R group anesthetized with propofol also showed a better recovery of hepatic ATP homeostasis and conserved integrity of mitochondrial PTP. Moreover, hypoxia-inducible factor 1 alpha (HIF-1α) expression was limited in such group. By using a cell model of desferoxamine-dependent HIF activation, we demonstrated that propofol was able to inhibit apoptosis and mitochondrial depolarization associated to HIF-1α action. In conclusion, hepatic I/R injury induces mitochondrial dysfunction that is not prevented by inhaled sevoflurane. On the contrary, propofol reduces liver damage and mitochondrial dysfunction by preserving respiratory activity, membrane potential and energy homeostasis, and limiting free radicals production as well as PTP opening. These hepatoprotective effects may involve the inhibition of HIF-1α.

Abstract
To investigate the effect of propofol on the expression of rabbit ischemia-reperfusion injury-related proteins and the mechanism involved. Thirty healthy adult New Zealand rabbit were selected. After establishment of liver I/R model, the rabbits were divided into group A (sham operation group), group B (control group using saline), and group C (propofol group) with ten rabbits in each group. The total protein concentration, differentially expressed protein spots and the difference of apoptotic proteins expression levels among the three groups were compared. The total protein concentrations in group A, B, and C were 0.778, 0.835, and 0.765 μg/μl, respectively, and the protein concentration in group B was significantly higher than group A and C (p < 0.05), with no significant difference between group A and C (p > 0.05); results analyzed by PDQuest software showed that the average number of protein spots and matching ratio had no significant difference among the three groups (p > 0.05); MALDI-TOF-MS mass spectrometry identified 16 differentially expressed protein spots; the numbers of Caspase-3 positive cells in group B and C were significantly higher than those in group A, and the numbers of Bcl-2 and Bax positive cells in group B and C were significantly lower than those in group A (p < 0.05); the number of Capase-3 positive cells in group C was significantly higher than those in group B, and the number of Bcl-2 positive cells in group C was significantly lower than those in group B (p < 0.05). The numbers of Bax positive cells had no significant difference between group B and C (p > 0.05); densities of Caspase-3, Bcl-2 and Bax in group B and C were significantly higher than those in group A (p < 0.05); Western blotting results from the comparison of the number of positive cells between group B and C was in accordance to the result obtained from immunohistochemistry. After I/R injury in rabbit, there was deregulation of various proteins such as Caspase-3, Bcl-2 and Bax, which was an important factor contributing to liver injury even systematic disease. Propofol could regulate the expression of I/R injury-related proteins and inhibit the attack of free radical to liver, having a remarkable advantage in preventing I/R injury and controlling the development of I/R injury. This study provides an effective theoretical basis for the prevention and treatment of I/R injury.

Abstract
This study aimed to determine the effects of different concentrations of propofol
(2,6-diisopropylphenol) on lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced expression and release of
high-mobility group box 1 protein (HMGB1) in mouse macrophages. Mouse macrophage cell
line RAW264.7 cells were randomly divided into 5 treatment groups. Expression levels
of HMGB1 mRNA were detected using RT-PCR, and cell culture
supernatant HMGB1 protein levels were detected using enzyme-linked immunosorbent
assay (ELISA). Translocation of HMGB1 from the nucleus to the cytoplasm in
macrophages was observed by Western blotting and activity of nuclear factor
kappa-light-chain-enhancer of activated B cells (NF-κB) in the nucleus was detected
using ELISA. HMGB1 mRNA expression levels increased significantly in
the cell culture supernatant and in cells after 24 h of stimulating RAW264.7 cells
with LPS (500 ng/mL). However, HMGB1 mRNA expression levels in the
P2 and P3 groups, which received 500 ng/mL LPS with 25 or 50 μmol/mL propofol,
respectively, were significantly lower than those in the group receiving LPS
stimulation (P<0.05). After stimulation by LPS, HMGB1 protein levels were reduced
significantly in the nucleus but were increased in the cytoplasm (P<0.05).
Simultaneously, the activity of NF-κB was enhanced significantly (P<0.05). After
propofol intervention, HMGB1 translocation from the nucleus to the cytoplasm and
NF-κB activity were inhibited significantly (each P<0.05). Thus, propofol can
inhibit the LPS-induced expression and release of HMGB1 by inhibiting HMGB1
translocation and NF-κB activity in RAW264.7 cells, suggesting propofol may be
protective in patients with sepsis.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Propofol-based total intravenous anesthesia (TIVA) has been used successfully for liver transplantation (LT) in recent years. However, there are few discourses in the literature which focus on the merits and weakness in perioperative management, biochemical changes, and postoperative recovery between TIVA and desflurane anesthesia (DES). METHODS We retrospectively compared the circumstances of liver transplantation recipients who had the surgery carried out under propofol-based TIVA or DES in the period from September 2007 to August 2010. Preoperative characteristics, date of intraoperative management, hemodynamic profiles, concentration of anesthetics, biochemical changes, and circumstances of postoperative recovery were retrieved from the hospital database for analysis. RESULTS We included 111 patients who received the surgery under either TIVA (n = 66) or DES (n = 45). Patient demographics, baseline laboratory data, operation time, and fluid management did not differ between the two groups. In comparison with the DES group, fewer patients had to be administered norepinephrine (21.2% vs. 42.2%; p = 0.020) in the TIVA group; moreover, the total dosage of norepinephrine was lower (0.003 ± 0.005 mg vs. 0.006 ± 0.008 mg; p = 0.012) in the TIVA group during liver reperfusion phase. Blood lactate level was higher in the DES group than in the TIVA group after the anhepatic phase. TIVA patients woke up faster than those in the DES group (54.0 ± 33.4 minutes vs. 95.0 ± 78.3 minutes; p = 0.034). CONCLUSION Our results suggest that propofol-based TIVA may provide better hemodynamics and microcirculation during the anhepatic phase in liver transplantation.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Liver abnormalities are seen in a small proportion of patients following anaesthesia with sevoflurane. OBJECTIVES To investigate whether the cytotoxicity of sevoflurane against rat liver cells was mediated by gap junction intercellular communications, and the effect of propofol on sevoflurane-induced cytotoxicity. DESIGN Experimental study. SETTING The study was carried out in the central laboratory of The Third Affiliated Hospital, Sun Yat-sen University. CELL LINE BRL-3A rat liver cells. METHODS Immortal rat liver cells BRL-3A were grown at low and high density. Colony-forming assays were performed to determine clonogenic growth of these cells. To investigate the effect of oleamide and propofol on gap junction function, we measured fluorescence transmission between cells using parachute dye-coupling assays. Immunoblotting assays were performed to determine connexin32 and connexin43 expression. RESULTS Our colony formation assays revealed that, in low-density culture, sevoflurane caused no apparent inhibition of clonogenic growth of BRL-3A cells. In high-density culture, 2.2 to 4.4% sevoflurane markedly inhibited clonogenic growth of BRL-3A cells with 67.6 (0.34)% and 61.2 (0.17)% of the cells being viable, respectively (P = 0.003 vs. low-density culture), suggesting cell density dependency of sevoflurane-induced cytotoxicity. Our colony formation assays revealed that propofol markedly attenuated the suppression by sevoflurane of the clonogenic growth of BRL-3A cells (viability: propofol and sevoflurane, 91.5 (0.014)% vs. sevoflurane, 56.6 (0.019)%; P <0.01). Blocking gap junctions with 10 μmol l oleamide significantly attenuated 4.4% sevoflurane-induced suppression with a viability of 83.6 ± 0.138% (oleamide and sevoflurane vs. sevoflurane, P < 0.01). Immunoblotting assays further showed that propofol (3.2 μg ml) markedly reduced CX32 levels and significantly inhibited gap junctional intercellular communications as revealed by parachute dye-coupling assays. Values are mean (SD). CONCLUSION This study provides the first direct evidence that sevoflurane-induced cytotoxicity, which is mediated through gap junctions, is attenuated by propofol, possibly by its action on Cx32 homomeric or heteromeric complexes.

Abstract
Propofol is an intravenous anesthetic, reported to have a protective effect against ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury in heart and brain, but no definite data are available concerning its effect in hepatic I/R. This work investigated the effect of propofol anesthesia on hepatic I/R injury using in vivo rat model. Four groups of rats were included: sham operated, I/R (30 min ischemia and 2 h reperfusion), I/R treated with propofol (10 mg/kg/h), and I/R treated with propofol (20 mg/kg/h). Liver enzyme leakage, TNF-α and caspase-3 levels, and antiapoptotic Bcl-xL/apoptotic Bax gene expression, together with histopathological changes, were used to evaluate the extent of hepatic I/R injury. Compared with sham-operated group, I/R group showed significant increase in serum levels of liver enzymes (ALT, AST), TNF-α, and caspase-3 and significant decrease in the Bcl-xL/Bax ratio, associated with histopathologic damage in liver. Propofol infusion significantly attenuated these changes with reduced hepatic histopathologic lesions compared with nonpreconditioned I/R group. However, no significant differences were found between two groups treated with different doses of propofol. In conclusion, propofol infusion reduced hepatic I/R injury with decreased markers of cellular apoptosis. Therefore, propofol anesthesia may provide a useful hepatic protection during liver surgery.
