Animals (Basel) 2023; 13:3392. [PMID: 37958147 PMCID: PMC10648213 DOI: 10.3390/ani13213392] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/16/2023] [Revised: 10/11/2023] [Accepted: 10/30/2023] [Indexed: 11/15/2023] Open
Abstract
Throughout the course of oncological disease, the majority of patients require surgical, anaesthetic and analgesic intervention. However, during the perioperative period, anaesthetic agents and techniques, surgical tissue trauma, adjuvant drugs for local pain and inflammation and other non-pharmacological factors, such as blood transfusions, hydration, temperature and nutrition, may influence the prognosis of the disease. These factors significantly impact the oncologic patient's immune response, which is the primary barrier to tumour progress, promoting a window of vulnerability for its dissemination and recurrence. More research is required to ascertain which anaesthetics and techniques have immunoprotective and anti-tumour effects, which will contribute to developing novel anaesthetic strategies in veterinary medicine.

Acyl-CoA Binding Domain Containing 4 Polymorphism rs4986172 and Expression Can Serve as Overall Survival Biomarkers for Hepatitis B Virus-Related Hepatocellular Carcinoma Patients After Hepatectomy. Pharmgenomics Pers Med 2022; 15:277-300. [PMID: 35378899 PMCID: PMC8976523 DOI: 10.2147/pgpm.s349350] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/14/2021] [Accepted: 03/04/2022] [Indexed: 11/23/2022] Open
Abstract
Background The aim of our study was to evaluate the potential of expression and single nucleotide polymorphism of Acyl-CoA binding domain containing 4 (ACBD4) gene as prognosis biomarkers in patients with hepatitis B virus (HBV)-related hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) after hepatectomy. Methods HBV-related HCC patients from the First Affiliated Hospital of Guangxi Medical University and GSE14520 were included in the current study, as well as The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) HCC verification cohort. Prognostic analysis and multiple functional enrichment analysis methods were used to evaluate the prognostic value and potential biological functions of the ACBD4 gene in HBV-related HCC. Results We found that ACBD4 gene is highly expressed in normal liver tissues and markedly down-regulated in HBV-related HCC tissues. ACBD4 gene was significantly related to overall survival (OS) of HCC in TCGA and GSE14520 cohorts, and patients with low ACBD4 expression were markedly related to poor OS. Rs4986172 was observed as an OS biomarker after hepatectomy in the Guangxi HBV-related HCC cohort. The OS of rs4986172 GG genotype was worse than that of HCC patients with A allele (AA and AG genotypes). Multifunctional enrichment analysis suggested that ACBD4 gene is closely related to the metabolic, peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor and cytochrome P450 pathway. Through connectivity map, we also identified eight compounds that may be used as targeted therapeutic agents for ACBD4 gene in HBV-related HCC; these compounds were scopoletin, alfaxalone, bephenium hydroxynaphthoate, apramycin, 4,5-dianilinophthalimide, DL-thiorphan, aminohippuric acid and quinidine. Immune microenvironment analysis revealed that there were significant differences in immune scores of HBV-related HCC tumor tissues with different ACBD4 expression levels. Conclusion Our study reveals that ACBD4 expression and rs4986172 can be serve as biomarkers of OS in HBV-related HCC patients after hepatectomy.

Abstract
Four novel indole steroids based on dehydroepiandrosterone (IS-1), estrone (IS-2) and pregnenolone (IS-3) were obtained and studied for their ability to inhibit C6 glioma proliferation. A reduction in cell proliferation by 52 ± 13% was observed for IS-1 at 10 μM, whereas IS-3 and abiraterone acetate at 10 μM caused a 36 ± 8% decrease. Surprisingly, the cellular effects reported for abiraterone, namely, cytochrome P450 CYP17A1 inhibition and endoplasmic reticulum stress were not detected for IS-1. However, both abiraterone and IS-1 significantly increased glutathione levels. Docking studies predicted good affinity of IS-1 to liver X receptors and regulatory protein Keap1, which are proposed to be involved in the compounds' antiproliferative activity.

Abstract
Leaf and stem extracts of popular green roof vegetation, Portulaca grandiflora, were used for the synthesis of gold nanoparticles. The synthesized gold nanoparticles were characterized using UV–visible spectroscopy, Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy, X‐ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) analysis. FTIR results indicated the presence of proteins and polyphenols in plant extracts which were responsible for the reduction and stabilization of gold nanoparticles. SEM and TEM images confirmed the formation of spherical, rhombus, triangular, tetragonal, pentagonal, rods and hexagonal shaped gold nanoparticles. The size of the particles was in the range of 8 and 72 nm. The antiproliferative effects of synthesized gold nanoparticles were assessed using C6 glioma human cancer cells. Results indicated that gold nanoparticles synthesized using leaf extracts (150 µg/mL) and stem extracts (200 µg/mL) of P. grandiflora decreased the viability of C6 glioma cell lines up to 50%. © 2016 American Institute of Chemical Engineers Environ Prog, 35: 1732–1740, 2016

Abstract
Previous studies have demonstrated that FoxJ2 (forkhead box J2) is a member of Forkhead Box transcription factors and acts as an important prognostic indicator in human breast cancer. Our study aimed to assess the expression and function in human glioma. Western blot analysis and immunohistochemistry were performed in human glioma tissues. Low FoxJ2 expression was observed in 80 samples and its level was correlated with the grade of malignancy. A strongly positive correlation was observed between FoxJ2 and E-cadherin. Overexpression of FoxJ2 increased E-cadherin expression and decreased vimentin expression. The wound healing and transwell assays showed that overexpression of FoxJ2 significantly inhibited their migration in U87 cells. Consistent with this, knockdown of FoxJ2 promoted cellular motility. In a word, FoxJ2 suppressed cell migration and invasion in glioma, which might be a potential novel molecular targeted therapy for surgery and immune treatment.

Abstract
Overstimulation of NMDA-type glutamate receptors is believed to be responsible for neuronal death of the CNS in various disorders, including cerebral and spinal cord ischemia. However, the intrinsic and physiological mechanisms of modulation of these receptors are essentially unknown. Here we report that cholestane-3β,5α,6β-triol (triol), a major metabolite of cholesterol, is an endogenous neuroprotectant and protects against neuronal injury both in vitro and in vivo via negative modulation of NMDA receptors. Treatment of cultured neurons with triol protects against glutamate-induced neurotoxicity, and administration of triol significantly decreases neuronal injury after spinal cord ischemia in rabbits and transient focal cerebral ischemia in rats. An inducible elevation of triol is associated with ischemic preconditioning and subsequent neuroprotection in the spinal cord of rabbits. This neuroprotection is effectively abolished by preadministration of a specific inhibitor of triol synthesis. Physiological concentrations of triol attenuate [Ca(2+)]i induced by glutamate and decrease inward NMDA-mediated currents in cultured cortical neurons and HEK-293 cells transiently transfected with NR1/NR2B NMDA receptors. Saturable binding of [(3)H]triol to cerebellar granule neurons and displacement of [(3)H]MK-801 binding to NMDA receptors by triol suggest that direct blockade of NMDA receptors may underlie the neuroprotective properties. Our findings suggest that the naturally occurring oxysterol, the major cholesterol metabolite triol, functions as an endogenous neuroprotectant in vivo, which may provide novel insights into understanding and developing potential therapeutics for disorders in the CNS.
