Int Immunopharmacol 2024; 137:112488. [PMID: 38889510 DOI: 10.1016/j.intimp.2024.112488] [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: 02/04/2024] [Revised: 06/10/2024] [Accepted: 06/12/2024] [Indexed: 06/20/2024]
Abstract
Monomethyl fumarate (MMF), a potent anti-inflammatory agent used to treat multiple sclerosis, has demonstrated efficacy in various inflammatory and ischemia/reperfusion (IR) models; however, its impact on IR-induced acute lung injury (ALI) has not been explored. We investigated, for the first time, whether MMF attenuates lung IR injury through inhibition of the GAPDH/Siah1 signaling pathway. Rats were subjected to IR injury using an isolated perfused lung model, and proximity ligation assays were employed to evaluate the presence and distribution of the GAPDH/Siah1 complex. In vitro studies involved pretreating human primary alveolar epithelial cells (HPAECs) with MMF and/or inducing GAPDH overexpression or silencing, followed by exposure to hypoxia-reoxygenation. The findings revealed significantly reduced lung damage indicators, including edema, proinflammatory cytokines, oxidative stress and apoptosis, in MMF-treated rats. Notably, MMF treatment inhibited GAPDH/Siah1 complex formation and nuclear translocation, indicating that disruption of the GAPDH/Siah1 cascade was the primary cause of these improvements. Our in vitro studies on pretreated HPAECs corroborate these in vivo findings, further strengthening this interpretation. Our study results suggest that the protective effects of MMF against lung IR injury may be attributed, at least in part, to its ability to disrupt the GAPDH/Siah1 signaling cascade, thereby attenuating inflammatory and apoptotic responses. Given these encouraging results, MMF has emerged as a promising therapeutic candidate for the management of lung IR injury.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Limb ischemia-reperfusion is a common phenomenon in clinical surgery, which disrupts the balanced physiological response process and ultimately leads to changes in intracellular viscosity. Intracellular viscosity is an important microenvironmental parameter that affects the normal function of organisms, and its level is closely related to many diseases. In addition, oxidative stress in the lower limbs can impair body function, and changes in pressure can lead to changes in the viscosity of limb tissues. Therefore, it is necessary to develop effective tools to detect changes in intracellular viscosity and visualize the progression of hind limb ischemia-reperfusion injury. RESULTS In order to solve this problem, a near infrared viscometry sensitive fluorescence probe (PH-XQ) with long emission wavelength and stable luminescence performance was designed and synthesized by using oxanthracene derivatives and malononitrile. The fluorescence probe (PH-XQ) has excellent selectivity, high sensitivity, low toxicity, high biocompatibility and excellent detection performance. The fluorescence intensity of the PH-XQ probe at 667 nm is highly sensitive to the change of viscosity. With the increase of viscosity, the fluorescence intensity of probe PH-XQ was significantly enhanced, and the fluorescence enhancement ratio was about 14-fold. In addition, PH-XQ can detect not only changes in viscosity between normal cells and drug-induced inflammatory cells, but also changes in the viscosity of the hind limbs of normal mice and mice after ischemia reperfusion. SIGNIFICANCE In particular, we are the first to successfully detect changes in handlimb viscosity after ischemia-reperfusion in mice using a probe. This study clearly elucidates changes in viscosity during ischemia-reperfusion of mouse limbs, providing favorable support for the relationship between viscosity and related diseases, and further providing a potential tool for the diagnosis of viscosity-related diseases.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Methylphenidate (MPH) abuse has been criticized for its role in neurodegeneration. Also, a high risk of seizure was reported in the first month of MPH treatment. Topiramate, a broad-spectrum Antiepileptic Drug (AED), has been used as a neuroprotective agent in both aforementioned complications. Nanotechnology is introduced to increase desirable neurological treatment with minimum side effects. We aimed to investigate the potential neuroprotective activity of topiramate loaded on nanoparticles. METHODS AND RESULTS MTT assay was performed to evaluate the cellular cytotoxicity of Mesoporous Silica Nanoparticles (MSN). Male rats were randomly divided into eight groups. Rats received an intraperitoneal (i.p) MPH (10 mg/kg) injection and a daily oral dose of topiramate (TPM, 30 mg/kg), MSN with Zn core (10 and 30 mg/kg), and MSN with Cu core (10 and 30 mg/kg) for three weeks. On day 21, a seizure was induced by a single injection of pentylenetetrazole (PTZ) to evaluate the protective effects of TPM-loaded nanoparticles on seizure latency and duration following MPH-induced neurotoxicity. Moreover, the hippocampal content of tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), interleukin-1β (IL-1β), malondialdehyde (MDA), and the anti-oxidant enzymes (SOD, GPx, and GR) activities were assessed. Also, BAX and Bcl-2 as two main apoptotic markers were evaluated. RESULTS MPH neurotoxicity was observed as a raised duration and reduced latency in PTZ-induced seizure. However, TPM-loaded MSN with Zn species (NE) treatment reduced the duration and improved the latency time. Also, NE and, somewhat, TPM-loaded MSN with Cu species (NM) administration reduced inflammatory cytokines, MDA, and Bax levels and increased activities in the rat hippocampus. CONCLUSION TPM-loaded nanoparticles could be used as neuroprotective agents against MPH-induced neurodegeneration by improving seizure parameters and reducing inflammatory, oxidant, and apoptotic factors.

Ren Fail 2023; 45:2259234. [PMID: 37732403 PMCID: PMC10515692 DOI: 10.1080/0886022x.2023.2259234] [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: 04/05/2023] [Accepted: 09/11/2023] [Indexed: 09/22/2023] Open
Abstract
Renal ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) injury leads to irreversible brain damage with serious consequences. Activation of oxidative stress and release of inflammatory mediators are considered potential pathological mechanisms. Butylphthalide (NBP) has anti-inflammatory and antioxidant effects on I/R injuries. However, it is unclear whether NBP can effectively mitigate renal I/R secondary to brain injury as well as its mechanism, which are the aims of this study. Both renal I/R injury rats and oxygen and glucose deprivation cell models were established and pre-intervened NBP. The Morris water maze assay was used to detect behavior. Hippocampal histopathology and function were examined after renal I/R. Apoptosis and tube-forming capacity of brain microvascular endothelial cells (BMVECs) were tested. Immunohistochemistry and Western blot were used to measure protein expression of nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 (Nrf2)/Heme Oxygenase-1 (HO-1) pathway and NOD-like receptor C2 (NOD2)/Mitogen-activated protein kinases (MAPK)/Nuclear factor kappa-B (NF-κB) pathway. NBP treatment attenuated renal I/R-induced brain tissue damage and learning and memory dysfunction. NBP treatment inhibited apoptosis and promoted blood-brain barrier restoration and microangiogenesis. Also, it decreased oxidative stress levels and pro-inflammatory factor expression in renal I/R rats. Furthermore, NBP enhanced BMVECs' viability and tube-forming capacity while inhibiting apoptosis and oxidative stress. Notably, the alleviating effects of NBP were attributed to Nrf2/HO-1 pathway activation and NOD2/MAPK/NF-κB inhibition. This study demonstrates that NBP maintains BBB function by activating the Nrf2/HO-1 pathway and inhibiting the NOD2/MAPK/NF-κB pathway to suppress inflammation and oxidative stress, thereby alleviating renal I/R-induced brain injury.

Abstract
Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is the most prevalent primary liver malignancy worldwide and is associated with a poor prognosis. Sophisticated molecular mechanisms and biological characteristics need to be explored to gain a better understanding of HCC. The role of metabolites in cancer immunometabolism has been widely recognized as a hallmark of cancer in the tumor microenvironment (TME). Recent studies have focused on metabolites that are derived from carbohydrate, lipid, and protein metabolism, because alterations in these may contribute to HCC progression, ischemia-reperfusion (IR) injury during liver transplantation (LT), and post-LT rejection. Immune cells play a central role in the HCC microenvironment and the duration of IR or rejection. They shape immune responses through metabolite modifications and by engaging in complex crosstalk with tumor cells. A growing number of publications suggest that immune cell functions in the TME are closely linked to metabolic changes. In this review, we summarize recent findings on the primary metabolites in the TME and post-LT metabolism and relate these studies to HCC development, IR injury, and post-LT rejection. Our understanding of aberrant metabolism and metabolite targeting based on regulatory metabolic pathways may provide a novel strategy to enhance immunometabolism manipulation by reprogramming cell metabolism.

Abstract
The 4,4'-diaminodiphenyl sulfone (DDS), also known as dapsone, is traditionally used as a potent anti-bacterial agent in clinical management of leprosy. For decades, dapsone has been among the first-line medications used in multidrug treatment of leprosy recommended by the World Health Organization (WHO). Shortly after dapsone's discovery as an antibiotic in 1937, the dual function of dapsone (anti-microbial and anti-inflammatory) was elucidated. Dapsone exerts its anti-bacterial effects by inhibiting dihydrofolic acid synthesis, leading to inhibition of bacterial growth, while its anti-inflammatory properties are triggered by inhibiting reactive oxygen species (ROS) production, reducing the effect of eosinophil peroxidase on mast cells and downregulating neutrophil-mediated inflammatory responses. Among the leading mechanisms associated with its anti-microbial/anti-protozoal effects, dapsone clearly has multiple antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and anti-apoptotic functions. In this regard, it has been described in treating a wide variety of inflammatory and infectious skin conditions. Previous reports have explored different molecular targets for dapsone and provided insight into the anti-inflammatory mechanism of dapsone. This article reviews several basic, experimental, and clinical approaches on anti-inflammatory effect of dapsone.

Abstract
Purpose: To examine the effect of desloratadine on kidney ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) injury in albino Wistar male rats using biochemical and histopathological methods.Methods: The treated with ischemia-reperfusion + 5 mg/kg desloratadine (IRD) group (n-6) was given 5 mg/kg desloratadine by gavage orally, and applied renal ischemia-reperfusion (BIR) group (n-6) and control (SG) group undergoing Sham operation (n-6) rats were given distilled water as solvent one hour before ketamine anesthesia. During the anesthesia period, ischemia was induced for 2 h unilaterally in the left kidney of all rats followed by reperfusion for 6 h. The kidneys of the SG group had sham operation without any intervention.Results: Our biochemical test results showed that malondialdehyde (MDA), nuclear factor kappa (NF-κB), tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-α), interleukin one beta (IL-1β), creatinine, and blood urea nitrogen (BUN) levels were significantly increased in the BIR group compared to the healthy control and IRD groups treated with desloratadine. Histopathological results were revealed tubular dilatation, tubular necrosis, loss of brushy margins, cast formation, and apoptotic bodies in tubular epithelial cells in the BIR group. There were no histopathological findings except for the swelling of tubule epithelial cells and the accumulation of proteinous material in some tubule lumens in renal tissue of desloratadine-treated rats.Conclusions: Experimental results suggested that desloratadine may be useful in the treatment of renal I/R injury.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Sepsis is a clinical crisis which has been considered as one of the important causes of mortality across the world. We hypothesized that modulation of hyper-inflammatory phase of sepsis pathophysiology can lead to protective effects on survival outcome. Glatiramer acetate (GA) is a neuroprotective drug commonly used in multiple sclerosis (MS). GA is characterized by immunom activity via regulation of innate and adaptive immunity. This study was designed to evaluate the acute treatment with GA on initial inflammatory response-induced mortality in septic mice. METHODS Cecal ligation and puncture (CLP) model was operated on male mice as a model of Polymicrobial sepsis. GA was administrated intraperitoneally after the sepsis induction at doses of 0.5, 1, and 2 mg/kg in three treatment groups. To investigate the effect of GA on short-term survival, septic mice were observed during 72 h after CLP. Serum levels of TNF-α, IL-1β, and IL-6 as pro-inflammatory cytokines and also IL-10 as a critical anti-inflammatory cytokine were analysed. To consider sepsis-induced acute kidney injury, renal functional biomarkers and histopathological changes was assessed. RESULTS GA treatment significantly improved survival rate at doses of 1, and 2 mg/kg. Survival improvement was accompanied by remarkable reduction in the pro-inflammatory cytokines and enhanced production of IL-10. GA showed to have protective effects on renal function as well. CONCLUSIONS Immunomodulatory and anti-inflammatory properties of GA resulted in increase in survival rate and decrease in inflammatory markers in mice model of cecal ligation and puncture-induced sepsis.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Acid-base balance disorders are a crucial element of ischemia-reperfusion injury during organ transplantation. Hypoxia during organ procurement and storage cause cellular homeostasis imbalance with impact on further graft function. Acidosis in preserved kidney caused by lactate accumulation may have an important role as a common denominator of various pathways leading to cellular damage. METHODS Our trial sought to answer questions regarding a range of pH alterations in the kidney before the transplantation, their potential cause, and how this may affect further outcome of the kidney transplantation procedure. Perfusion fluid for pH analysis was obtained from perfusion pump (PP) or through kidney flushing at the end of preservation depending on the storage method. RESULTS A total of 66 sample results were collated with the data from the transplant registry, hospitalization, and outpatient department. Statistical analysis was conducted linking pH results with factors related to donor, recipient, preservation, and outcome according to designed schematics. Mean perfusate pH was significantly lower in simple hypothermia (SH) vs the PP storage group (6.77 vs 7.11; P < .001). All samples of perfusate pH in the SH group were below physiological values (<7.35), and in 10% of samples in the SH group, pH >7.00. CONCLUSIONS We concluded that kidney storage in cold ischemia is associated with organ acidosis independent of preservation method and that SH is correlated with significantly bigger acidosis than storage in PP, which is an important procedure removing an excessive amount of hydrogen ions from kidney microcirculation, decreasing cell damage.

Abstract
Background: Ischemia/reperfusion can cause injury to tissues and compromise functionality of organs due to inflammatory processes. Significantly, development of these effects in kidney tissue has been a challenging issue that leads to acute renal injury. In this study, anti-inflammatory, anti-oxidative, and protective features of dapsone on kidney ischemia/reperfusion injury were investigated.Material and methods: Renal ischemia was induced in rats by bilateral renal arteries clamping for 45 min followed by 24 h reperfusion phase. The effects of different doses of dapsone (1, 3, 10 mg/kg) on ischemia/reperfusion injury in kidney tissue were investigated by targeting BUN, Creatinine, LDH, MDA, MPO, IL-1β, TNF-α, and NFκB. In addition histopathological examination was performed by H&E staining method.Results and discussion: Comparing the findings of this study showed significant reduction in BUN and LDH in 10 mg/kg dapsone received groups, and Cr, MDA, and MPO in 3 mg/kg dapsone received groups. The serum level of TNF-α was significantly decreased with both doses of 3 and 10 mg/kg dapsone. The same results were observed in the serum level of IL-1β and NFκB.
