McDonough J, Singhal NK, Getsy PM, Knies K, Knauss ZT, Mueller D, Bates JN, Damron DS, Lewis SJ. The epigenetic signatures of opioid addiction and physical dependence are prevented by D-cysteine ethyl ester and betaine. Front Pharmacol 2024; 15:1416701. [PMID: 39281282 PMCID: PMC11392886 DOI: 10.3389/fphar.2024.1416701] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/12/2024] [Accepted: 07/29/2024] [Indexed: 09/18/2024] Open
Abstract
We have reported that D,L-thiol esters, including D-cysteine ethyl ester (D-CYSee), are effective at overcoming opioid-induced respiratory depression (OIRD) in rats. Our on-going studies reveal that co-injections of D-CYSee with multi-day morphine injections markedly diminish spontaneous withdrawal that usually occurs after cessation of multiple injections of morphine in rats. Chronically administered opioids are known (1) to alter cellular redox status, thus inducing an oxidative state, and (2) for an overall decrease in DNA methylation, therefore resulting in the transcriptional activation of previously silenced long interspersed elements (LINE-1) retrotransposon genes. The first objective of the present study was to determine whether D-CYSee and the one carbon metabolism with the methyl donor, betaine, would maintain redox control and normal DNA methylation levels in human neuroblastoma cell cultures (SH-SY5Y) under overnight challenge with morphine (100 nM). The second objective was to determine whether D-CYSee and/or betaine could diminish the degree of physical dependence to morphine in male Sprague Dawley rats. Our data showed that overnight treatment with morphine reduced cellular GSH levels, induced mitochondrial damage, decreased global DNA methylation, and increased LINE-1 mRNA expression. These adverse effects by morphine, which diminished the reducing capacity and compromised the maintenance of the membrane potential of SH-SY5Y cells, was prevented by concurrent application of D-CYSee (100 µM) or betaine (300 µM). Furthermore, our data demonstrated that co-injections of D-CYSee (250 μmol/kg, IV) and to a lesser extent, betaine (250 μmol/kg, IV), markedly diminished the development of physical dependence induced by multi-day morphine injections (escalating daily doses of 10-30 mg/kg, IV), as assessed by the lesser number of withdrawal phenomena elicited by the injection of the opioid receptor antagonist, naloxone (1.5 mg/kg, IV). These findings provide evidence that D-CYSee and betaine prevent the appearance of redox alterations and epigenetic signatures commonly seen in neural cells involved in opioid physical dependence/addiction, and lessen development of physical dependence to morphine.

Caffeine improves mitochondrial dysfunction in the white matter of neonatal rats with hypoxia-ischemia through deacetylation: a proteomic analysis of lysine acetylation. Front Mol Neurosci 2024; 17:1394886. [PMID: 38745725 PMCID: PMC11091324 DOI: 10.3389/fnmol.2024.1394886] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/02/2024] [Accepted: 04/10/2024] [Indexed: 05/16/2024] Open
Abstract
Aims White matter damage (WMD) is linked to both cerebral palsy and cognitive deficits in infants born prematurely. The focus of this study was to examine how caffeine influences the acetylation of proteins within the neonatal white matter and to evaluate its effectiveness in treating white matter damage caused by hypoxia-ischemia. Main methods We employed a method combining affinity enrichment with advanced liquid chromatography and mass spectrometry to profile acetylation in proteins from the white matter of neonatal rats grouped into control (Sham), hypoxic-ischemic (HI), and caffeine-treated (Caffeine) groups. Key findings Our findings included 1,999 sites of lysine acetylation across 1,123 proteins, with quantifiable changes noted in 1,342 sites within 689 proteins. Analysis of these patterns identified recurring sequences adjacent to the acetylation sites, notably YKacN, FkacN, and G * * * GkacS. Investigation into the biological roles of these proteins through Gene Ontology analysis indicated their involvement in a variety of cellular processes, predominantly within mitochondrial locations. Further analysis indicated that the acetylation of tau (Mapt), a protein associated with microtubules, was elevated in the HI condition; however, caffeine treatment appeared to mitigate this over-modification, thus potentially aiding in reducing oxidative stress, inflammation in the nervous system, and improving mitochondrial health. Caffeine inhibited acetylated Mapt through sirtuin 2 (SITR2), promoted Mapt nuclear translocation, and improved mitochondrial dysfunction, which was subsequently weakened by the SIRT2 inhibitor, AK-7. Significance Caffeine-induced changes in lysine acetylation may play a key role in improving mitochondrial dysfunction and inhibiting oxidative stress and neuroinflammation.

Abstract
It is reported that tramadol can induce neurotoxic effects with the production of DNA damage, mitochondrial dysfunction, and oxidative stress. The current study aimed to evaluate the potential role of mitochondrial impairment in the pathogenesis of tramadol-induced neurotoxicity, and protective effect of sinapic acid (SA) against it in isolated mitochondria from rat brain. Mitochondria were isolated and were incubated with toxic concentrations (100 μM) of tramadol and then cotreated with tramadol + SA (10, 50, and 100 μM). Biomarkers of mitochondrial toxicity including succinate dehydrogenases (SDH) activity, reactive oxygen species (ROS), lipid peroxidation (LPO), mitochondrial membrane potential (MMP), GSH depletion, and mitochondrial swelling were assessed. Our results showed a significant decrease in SDH activity, and a significant increase in ROS, LPO, GSH depletion, MMP collapse, and mitochondrial swelling was detected in tramadol group. We observed that 50 and 100 μM SA cotreatment for 1 h efficiently ameliorated tramadol-caused damage in mitochondrial dysfunction, accumulation of ROS, LPO, GSH depletion, depolarization of mitochondrial membrane potential, and mitochondrial swelling. These data suggest that mitochondrial impairment and oxidative stress are mechanisms involved in the pathogenesis of tramadol-induced neurotoxicity. Also, results indicate that SA antagonizes against tramadol-induced mitochondrial toxicity and suggest SA may be a preventive/therapeutic agent for tramadol-induced neurotoxicity complications.

Abstract
This study was designed to evaluate the subchronic toxicity of the compound of diphenhydramine hydrochloride (DH) and caffeine in Sprague-Dawley (SD) rats and beagle dogs. A total of 180 SD rats (15/sex/group) were randomly divided into the compound low-, medium- and high-dose groups (51, 102, 204 mg/kg), DH group (60 mg/kg), caffeine group (144 mg/kg) and the vehicle control group. Sixty beagle dogs (5/sex/group) were randomly divided into the compound low-, medium- and high-dose groups (male: 14.20, 28.30, 56.60 mg/kg, female: 5.66, 14.20, 28.30 mg/kg), DH group (male: 16.60 mg/kg, female: 8.30 mg/kg), caffeine group (male: 40.00 mg/kg, female: 20.00 mg/kg) and the vehicle control group. Rats and dogs were given continuous oral administration for 28 days following a 28-day recovery period. The adverse effects of the compound on rats and beagle dogs mainly included anorexia and liver function impairment. Most adverse effects induced by administration were reversible. Under the experimental conditions, the no-observed-adverse-effect level (NOAEL) of the compound of DH and caffeine was 51 mg/kg/day for SD rats and 28.30 mg/kg/day (male) and 5.66 mg/kg/day (female) for beagle dogs.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Tramadol (TRA) is an analgesic prescribed for treating mild to moderate pains, the abuse of which has increased in recent years. Chronic tramadol consumption produces neurotoxicity, although the mechanisms are unclear. The present study investigated the involvement of apoptosis and autophagy signaling pathways and the mitochondrial system in TRA-induced neurotoxicity. MATERIALS AND METHODS Sixty adult male Wistar rats were divided into five groups that received standard saline or TRA in doses of 25, 50, 75, 100, or 150 mg/kg intraperitoneally for 21 days. On the 22nd day, the Open Field Test (OFT) was conducted. Jun N-Terminal Kinase (JNK), B-cell lymphoma-2 (Bcl-2), Beclin1, and Bcl-2-like protein 4 (Bax) proteins and tumor necrosis factor α (TNF-α) and interleukin 1β (IL-1β) were measured in rat hippocampal tissue. RESULTS TRA at doses 75, 100, and 150 mg/kg caused locomotor dysfunction in rats and increased total and phosphorylated forms of JNK and Beclin-1, Bax, and Caspase-3. TRA at the three higher doses also increased the phosphorylated (inactive) form of Bcl-2 level while decreasing the unphosphorylated (active) form of Bcl-2. Similarly, the protein levels of TNF-α and IL-1β were increased dose-dependently. The mitochondrial respiratory chain enzymes were reduced at the three higher doses of TRA. CONCLUSION TRA activated apoptosis and autophagy via modulation of TNF-α or IL-1β/JNK/Bcl-2/Beclin1 and Bcl-2/Bax signaling pathways and dysfunction of mitochondrial respiratory chain enzymes.

Abstract
Background Previous studies have shown controversial results regarding the pro- or anticonvulsant effects of tramadol. Additionally, the underlying mechanism of seizure induction or alleviation by tramadol has not been fully understood. In the current study, the effects of tramadol on pentylenetetrazole (PTZ)-induced seizure and the possible involvement of the N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) pathway were assessed in mice. Methods Male Naval Medical Research Institute (NMRI) mice were treated with intravenous infusion of PTZ in order to induce clonic seizures and determine seizure threshold. Tramadol was injected intraperitoneally (0.1-150 mg/kg) 30 minutes prior to elicitation of seizures. The possible effects of intraperitoneal injections of NMDA receptor antagonists, ketamine (0.5 mg/kg) and MK-801 (0.5 mg/kg) on the anticonvulsant property of tramadol were investigated subsequently. Results Tramadol (1-100 mg/kg) increased PTZ-induced seizure threshold in a dose-dependent, time-independent manner, with optimal anticonvulsant effect at a dose of 100 mg/kg. Acute administration of either ketamine (0.5 mg/kg) or MK-801 (0.5 mg/kg) potentiated the anticonvulsant effect of a subeffective dose of tramadol (0.3 mg/kg). Conclusion These results suggest a possible role of the NMDA pathway in the anticonvulsant effect of tramadol.

Abstract
Tramadol overdose is frequently associated with the onset of seizures, usually considered as serotonin syndrome manifestations. Recently, the serotoninergic mechanism of tramadol-attributed seizures has been questioned. This study’s aim was to identify the mechanisms involved in tramadol-induced seizures in overdose in rats. The investigations included (1) the effects of specific pretreatments on tramadol-induced seizure onset and brain monoamine concentrations, (2) the interaction between tramadol and γ-aminobutyric acid (GABA)A receptors in vivo in the brain using positron emission tomography (PET) imaging and 11C-flumazenil. Diazepam abolished tramadol-induced seizures, in contrast to naloxone, cyproheptadine and fexofenadine pretreatments. Despite seizure abolishment, diazepam significantly enhanced tramadol-induced increase in the brain serotonin (p < 0.01), histamine (p < 0.01), dopamine (p < 0.05) and norepinephrine (p < 0.05). No displacement of 11C-flumazenil brain kinetics was observed following tramadol administration in contrast to diazepam, suggesting that the observed interaction was not related to a competitive mechanism between tramadol and flumazenil at the benzodiazepine-binding site. Our findings do not support the involvement of serotoninergic, histaminergic, dopaminergic, norepinephrine or opioidergic pathways in tramadol-induced seizures in overdose, but they strongly suggest a tramadol-induced allosteric change of the benzodiazepine-binding site of GABAA receptors. Management of tramadol-poisoned patients should take into account that tramadol-induced seizures are mainly related to a GABAergic pathway.

Abstract
Tramadol, an opioid used as analgesic, can induce neurotoxic effects associated to cognitive dysfunction. Moreover, caffeine has been reported to have neuroprotective effects. In this regard, we hypothesized that administration of caffeine can modulate tramadol-induced damages in cerebellum. For this study, forty male Wistar rats were divided into four groups: the control group, the tramadol group (50mg/kg), the caffeine group (37.5mg/kg), and the tramadol+caffeine group (50mg/kg tramadol+37.5mg/kg caffeine). At the end of study (day 21), after performing rotarod behavioral test, cerebellum tissue samples were removed and prepared for further evaluations including biochemical profile markers (MDA, GPx, and SOD), immunohistochemistry for Caspase-3, as well as the expression of genes involved in cellular processes such as inflammation markers (IL-1β, HMGB1, IL-6, and TNF), apoptosis markers (Caspase-3, Caspase-8, Bax, and P21), and autophagy markers (LAMP2, ATG5, BECN1, and ATG12). Stereological evaluations were performed to determine the total volume of granular and molecular layers and white matter of cerebellum tissue and numerical density of the Purkinje cells. Our results showed that the stereological parameters, biochemical profiles (except MDA) and behavioral function were significantly higher in the tramadol+caffeine group compared to the tramadol group. Autophagy-related genes were significantly upregulated in tramadol+caffeine group compared to the tramadol group. While the expression of inflammatory and apoptosis genes, MDA level, as well as density of apoptosis cells were significantly lower in the tramadol+caffeine group compared to the tramadol group. Briefly, it can be concluded that administration of caffeine has neuroprotective effects in cerebellar damages induced by tramadol.

Abstract
Dietary intake of caffeine has significantly increased in recent years, and beneficial and harmful effects of caffeine have been extensively studied. This paper reviews antioxidant and anti-inflammatory activities of caffeine as well as its protective effects on cardiovascular diseases, obesity, diabetes mellitus, cancers, and neurodegenerative and liver diseases. In addition, we summarize the side effects of long-term or excessive caffeine consumption on sleep, migraine, intraocular pressure, pregnant women, children, and adolescents. The health benefits of caffeine depend on the amount of caffeine intake and the physical condition of consumers. Moderate intake of caffeine helps to prevent and modulate several diseases. However, the long-term or over-consumption of caffeine can lead to addiction, insomnia, migraine, and other side effects. In addition, children, adolescents, pregnant women, and people who are sensitive to caffeine should be recommended to restrict/reduce their intake to avoid potential adverse effects.

Evaluation of mitochondrial dysfunction due to oxidative stress in therapeutic, toxic and lethal concentrations of tramadol. Toxicol Res (Camb) 2021; 10:1162-1170.

Abstract
Tramadol (TR) is a centrally acting analgesic drug that is used to relieve pain. The therapeutic (0.1-0.8 mg/l), toxic (1-2 mg/l) and lethal (>2 mg/l) ranges were reported for TR. The present study was designed to evaluate which doses of TR can induce liver mitochondrial toxicity. Mitochondria were isolated from the five rats' liver and were incubated with therapeutic to lethal concentrations (1.7-600 μM) of TR. Biomarkers of oxidative stress including: reactive oxygen species (ROS), lipid peroxidation (LPO), protein carbonyl content, glutathione (GSH) content, mitochondrial function, mitochondrial membrane potential (MMP) and mitochondrial swelling were assessed. Our results showed that ROS and LPO at 100 μM and protein carbonylation at 600 μM concentrations of TR were significantly increased. GSH was decreased specifically at 600 μM concentration. Mitochondrial function, MMP and mitochondrial swelling decreased in isolated rat liver mitochondria after exposure to 100 and 300 μM, respectively. This study suggested that TR at therapeutic and toxic levels by single exposure could not induce mitochondrial toxicity. But, in lethal concentration (≥100 μM), TR induced oxidative damage and mitochondria dysfunction. This study suggested that ROS overproduction by increasing of TR concentration induced mitochondrial dysfunction and caused mitochondrial damage via Complex II and membrane permeability transition pores disorders, MMP collapse and mitochondria swelling.

Abstract
New toxins are emerging all the time. In this article, the authors review common toxins that cause seizure, their mechanisms, associated toxidromes, and treatments. Stimulants, cholinergic agents, gamma-aminobutyric acid antagonists, glutamate agonists, histamine and adenosine antagonists, and withdrawal states are highlighted. Understanding current mechanisms for common toxin-induced seizures can promote understanding for future toxins and predicting if seizure may occur as a result of toxicity.

Abstract
Background Dynamic-related protein 1 (Drp1) is a key protein involved in the regulation of mitochondrial fission, and it could affect the dynamic balance of mitochondria and appears to be protective against neuronal injury in epileptic seizures. Equilibrative nucleoside transporter 1 (ENT1) is expressed and functional in the mitochondrial membrane that equilibrates adenosine concentration across membranes. Whether Drp1 participates in the pathogenesis of epileptic seizures via regulating function of ENT1 remains unclear. Methods In the present study, we used pilocarpine to induce status epilepticus (SE) in rats, and we used mitochondrial division inhibitor 1 (Mdivi-1), a selective inhibitor to Drp1, to suppress mitochondrial fission in pilocarpine-induced SE model. Mdivi-1administered by intraperitoneal injection before SE induction, and the latency to firstepileptic seizure and the number of epileptic seizures was thereafter observed. The distribution of Drp1 was detected by immunofluorescence, and the expression patterns of Drp1 and ENT1 were detected by Western blot. Furthermore, the mitochondrial ultrastructure of neurons in the hippocampal CA1 region was observed by transmission electron microscopy. Results We found that Drp1 was expressed mainly in neurons and Drp1 expression was significantly upregulated in the hippocampal and temporal neocortex tissues at 6 h and 24 h after induction of SE. Mitochondrial fission inhibitor 1 attenuated epileptic seizures after induction of SE, reduced mitochondrial damage and ENT1 expression. Conclusions These data indicate that Drp1 is upregulated in hippocampus and temporal neocortex after pilocarpine-induced SE and the inhibition of Drp1 may lead to potential therapeutic target for SE by regulating ENT1 after pilocarpine-induced SE.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Tramadol is widely being used in chronic pain management for improving patients' life quality and reducing trauma. Although it is listed in several medicinal guidelines, its use is controversial because of the conflicting results obtained in pharmacokinetic/pharmacodynamic studies. This multi-receptor drug acts as µ1 opioid receptor agonist, monoamine reuptake inhibitor, and inhibitor of ligand-gated ion channels and some special protein-coupled receptors. AREAS COVERED This review provides a comprehensive view on the pharmacokinetic, pharmacodynamic, and toxicity of tramadol with a deep look on its side effects, biochemical and pathological changes, and possible drug interactions. In addition, the main ways of tramadol poisoning management describe according to in vivo and clinical trial studies. EXPERT OPINION Given the broad spectrum of targets, increasing the cases of overdoses and toxicity, and probable drugs interaction, it is necessary to take another look at the pharmacology of tramadol. Regarding the adverse effects of tramadol on different tissues, especially the nervous system and liver tissue, more attentions to tramadol metabolites, their interaction with other drugs, and active agents seem critical. Seizure as the most cited effect of tramadol and its destructive effects on tissues would alleviate by co-administration with drugs with antioxidant properties.
