Abstract
Hepatic ischemia-reperfusion injury (HIRI) is a major complication of liver trauma, resection, and transplantation that can lead to liver dysfunction and failure. Scholars have proposed a variety of liver protection methods aimed at reducing ischemia-reperfusion damage, but there is still a lack of effective treatment methods, which urgently needs to find new effective treatment methods for patients. Many studies have reported that signaling pathway plays a key role in HIRI pathological process and liver function recovery mechanism, among which nuclear transfer factor-κB (NF-κB) signaling pathway is one of the signal transduction closely related to disease. NF-κB pathway is closely related to HIRI pathologic process, and inhibition of this pathway can delay oxidative stress, inflammatory response, cell death, and mitochondrial dysfunction. In addition, NF-κB can also interact with PI3K/Akt, MAPK, and Nrf2 signaling pathways to participate in HIRI regulation. Based on the role of NF-κB pathway in HIRI, it may be a potential target pathway for HIRI. This review emphasizes the role of inhibiting the NF-κB signaling pathway in oxidative stress, inflammatory response, cell death, and mitochondrial dysfunction in HIRI, as well as the effects of related drugs or inhibitors targeting NF-κB on HIRI. The objective of this review is to elucidate the role and mechanism of NF-κB pathway in HIRI, emphasize the important role of NF-κB pathway in the prevention and treatment of HIRI, and provide a theoretical basis for the target NF-κB pathway as a therapy for HIRI.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The NOD-like receptor protein 3 (NLRP3) mediated pyroptosis of macrophages is closely associated with liver ischemia reperfusion injury (IRI). As a covalent inhibitor of NLRP3, Oridonin (Ori), has strong anti-inflammasome effect, but its effect and mechanisms for liver IRI are still unknown. METHODS Mice and liver macrophages were treated with Ori, respectively. Co-IP and LC-MS/MS analysis of the interaction between PKM2 and NLRP3 in macrophages. Liver damage was detected using H&E staining. Pyroptosis was detected by WB, TEM, and ELISA. RESULTS Ori ameliorated liver macrophage pyroptosis and liver IRI. Mechanistically, Ori inhibited the interaction between pyruvate kinase M2 isoform (PKM2) and NLRP3 in hypoxia/reoxygenation(H/R)-induced macrophages, while the inhibition of PKM2/NLRP3 reduced liver macrophage pyroptosis and liver IRI. CONCLUSION Ori exerted protective effects on liver IRI via suppressing PKM2/NLRP3-mediated liver macrophage pyroptosis, which might become a potential therapeutic target in the clinic.

Abstract
Ischemia/reperfusion injury (IRI) is a key determining agent in the pathophysiology of clinical organ dysfunction. It is characterized by an aseptic local inflammatory reaction due to a decrease in blood supply, hence deprivation of dependent oxygen and nutrients. In instances of liver transplantation, this injury may have irreversible implications, resulting in eventual organ rejection. The deterioration associated with IRI is affected by the hepatic health status and various factors such as alterations in metabolism, oxidative stress, and pro-inflammatory cytokines. The primary cause of inflammation is the initial immune response of pro-inflammatory cytokines, while Kupffer cells (KFCs) and neutrophil-produced chemokines also play a significant role. Upon reperfusion, the activation of inflammatory responses can elicit further cellular damage and organ dysfunction. This review discusses the interplay between chemokines, pro-inflammatory cytokines, and other inflammatory mediators that contribute to the damage to hepatocytes and liver failure in rats following IR. Furthermore, it delves into the impact of anti-inflammatory therapies in safeguarding against liver failure and hepatocellular damage in rats following IR. This review investigates the correlation between cytokine factors and liver dysfunction via examining databases, such as PubMed, Google Scholar, Science Direct, Egyptian Knowledge Bank (EKB), and Research Gate.

Potential effects of different cell death inhibitors in protecting against ischemia-reperfusion injury in steatotic liver. Int Immunopharmacol 2024; 128:111545. [PMID: 38244517 DOI: 10.1016/j.intimp.2024.111545] [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: 11/20/2023] [Revised: 01/09/2024] [Accepted: 01/11/2024] [Indexed: 01/22/2024]
Abstract
Liver ischemia-reperfusion injury (IRI) remains a common issue and with the increasing incidence of Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), which are more sensitive to IRI, it is crucial to explore the possible strategy to alleviate the steatotic liver IRI. Several modes of cell death are involved in hepatocytes and immune cells during hepatic IRI, and the effects of different cell death inhibitors including apoptosis, necroptosis, pyroptosis, and ferroptosis in steatotic liver IRI have not been investigated. We established 70% IRI model on steatotic liver in mice. Apoptosis, necroptosis, pyroptosis and ferroptosis inhibitors were used to evaluate their effects on liver injury, inflammatory response, and immune cell infiltration. Immunofluorescence and immunohistochemical results demonstrated that there were apoptosis, necroptosis, pyroptosis, and ferroptosis in the progression of IRI in steatotic liver. All four types of cell death inhibitors showed protective effects, but ferroptosis inhibitor Fer-1 and pyroptosis inhibitor VX765 exerted better protective effects compared the apoptosis inhibitor Z-VAD and necroptosis inhibitor Nec-1. Further, we found that pyroptosis occurred mainly in macrophages and ferroptosis occured primarily in hepatocytes during steatotic liver IRI. Ferroptosis in heaptocytes and pyroptosis in macrophages are two major cell death types involved in steatotic liver IRI and inhibiting these cell death exerted good protective effects.

Abstract
Interleukin-33 (IL-33) and its receptor Serum Stimulation-2 (ST2, also called Il1rl1) are members of the IL-1 superfamily that plays a crucial role in allergic diseases. The interaction of IL-33 and ST2 mainly activates NF-κB signaling and MAPK signaling via the MyD88/IRAK/TRAF6 module, resulting in the production and secretion of pro-inflammatory cytokines. The IL-33/ST2 axis participates in the pathogenesis of allergic diseases, and therefore serves as a promising strategy for allergy treatment. In recent years, strategies blocking IL-33/ST2 through targeting regulation of IL-33 and ST2 or targeting the molecules involved in the signal transduction have been extensively studied mostly in animal models. These studies provide various potential therapeutic agents other than antibodies, such as small molecules, nucleic acids and traditional Chinese medicines. Herein, we reviewed potential targets and agents targeting IL-33/ST2 axis in the treatment of allergic diseases, providing directions for further investigations on treatments for IL-33 induced allergic diseases.

Abstract
Hepatic ischemia-reperfusion syndrome has been the subject of intensive study and experimentation in recent decades since it is responsible for the outcome of several clinical entities, such as major hepatic resections and liver transplantation. In addition to the organ's post reperfusion injury, this syndrome appears to play a central role in the dysfunction of distant tissues and systems. Thus, continuous research should be directed toward finding effective therapeutic options to improve the outcome and reduce the postoperative morbidity and mortality rates. Treprostinil is a synthetic analog of prostaglandin I2, and its experimental administration has shown encouraging results. It has already been approved by the Food and Drug Administration in the United States for pulmonary arterial hypertension and has been used in liver transplantation, where preliminary encouraging results showed its safety and feasibility by using continuous intravenous administration at a dose of 5 ng/kg/min. Treprostinil improves renal and hepatic function, diminishes hepatic oxidative stress and lipid peroxidation, reduces hepatictoll-like receptor 9 and inflammation, inhibits hepatic apoptosis and restores hepatic adenosine triphosphate (ATP) levels and ATP synthases, which is necessary for functional maintenance of mitochondria. Treprostinil exhibits vasodilatory properties and antiplatelet activity and regulates proinflammatory cytokines; therefore, it can potentially minimize ischemia-reperfusion injury. Additionally, it may have beneficial effects on cardiovascular parameters, and much current research interest is concentrated on this compound.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Hepatic ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury is one of the major pathological processes associated with various liver surgeries. However, there is still a lack of strategies to protect against hepatic I/R injury because of the unknown underlying mechanism. The present study aimed to identify a potential strategy and provide a fundamental experimental basis for treating hepatic I/R injury. METHOD A classic 70% ischemia/reperfusion injury was established. Immunoprecipitation was used to identify direct interactions between proteins. The expression of proteins from different subcellular localizations was detected by Western blotting. Cell translocation was directly observed by immunofluorescence. HE, TUNEL and ELISA were performed for function tests. RESULT We report that tripartite motif containing 37 (TRIM37) aggravates hepatic I/R injury through the reinforcement of IKK-induced inflammation following dual patterns. Mechanistically, TRIM37 directly interacts with tumor necrosis factor receptor-associated factor 6 (TRAF6), inducing K63 ubiquitination and eventually leading to the phosphorylation of IKKβ. TRIM37 enhances the translocation of IKKγ, a regulatory subunit of the IKK complex, from the nucleus to the cytoplasm, thereby stabilizing the cytoplasmic IKK complex and prolonging the duration of inflammation. Inhibition of IKK rescued the function of TRIM37 in vivo and in vitro. CONCLUSION Collectively, the present study discloses some potential function of TRIM37 in hepatic I/R injury. Targeting TRIM37 might be potential for treatment against hepatic I/R injury.Targeting TRIM37 might be a potential treatment strategy against hepatic I/R injury.

Abstract
The mitogen-activated protein kinase signaling pathway can be activated by a variety of growth factors, cytokines, and hormones, and mediates numerous intracellular signals related to cellular activities, including cell proliferation, motility, and differentiation. It has been widely studied in the occurrence and development of inflammation and tumor. Hepatic ischemia-reperfusion injury (HIRI) is a common pathophysiological phenomenon that occurs in surgical procedures such as lobectomy and liver transplantation, which is characterized by severe inflammatory reaction after ischemia and reperfusion. In this review, we mainly discuss the role of p38, ERK1/2, JNK in MAPK family and TAK1 and ASK1 in MAPKKK family in HIRI, and try to find an effective treatment for HIRI.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Hepatic ischemia-reperfusion injury (HIRI) is a common complication of liver surgeries, such as hepatectomy and liver transplantation. In recent years, several non-coding RNAs (ncRNAs) including long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) and microRNAs (miRNAs) have been identified as factors involved in the pathological progression of HIRI. In this review, we summarized the latest research on lncRNAs, miRNAs and the lncRNA-miRNA regulatory networks in HIRI. DATA SOURCES The PubMed and Web of Science databases were searched for articles published up to December 2021 using the following keywords: "hepatic ischemia-reperfusion injury", "lncRNA", "long non-coding RNA", "miRNA" and "microRNA". The bibliography of the selected articles was manually screened to identify additional studies. RESULTS The mechanism of HIRI is complex, and involves multiple lncRNAs and miRNAs. The roles of lncRNAs such as AK139328, CCAT1, MALAT1, TUG1 and NEAT1 have been established in HIRI. In addition, numerous miRNAs are associated with apoptosis, autophagy, oxidative stress and cellular inflammation that accompany HIRI pathogenesis. Based on the literature, we conclude that four lncRNA-miRNA regulatory networks mediate the pathological progression of HIRI. Furthermore, the expression levels of some lncRNAs and miRNAs undergo significant changes during the progression of HIRI, and thus are potential prognostic markers and therapeutic targets. CONCLUSIONS Complex lncRNA-miRNA-mRNA networks regulate HIRI progression through mutual activation and antagonism. It is necessary to screen for more HIRI-associated lncRNAs and miRNAs in order to identify novel therapeutic targets.

Abstract
Hepatic ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury occurs frequently in various liver operations and diseases, but its effective treatment remains inadequate because the key switch that leads to hepatic explosive inflammation has not been well disclosed. Dual specificity phosphatase 9 (DUSP9) is widely involved in the innate immune response of solid organs and is sometimes regulated by ubiquitin. In the present study, we find that DUSP9 is reduced in mouse hepatic I/R injury. DUSP9 enrichment attenuates hepatic inflammation both in vivo and in vitro as revealed by western blot analysis and qRT-PCR. In contrast, DUSP9 depletion leads to more severe I/R injury. Mechanistically, DUSP9 inhibits the phosphorylation of apoptosis signal-regulating kinase 1 (ASK1) by directly binding to ASK1, thereby decreasing tumor necrosis factor receptor-associated factor 6 (TRAF6), K63 ubiquitin and the phosphorylation of p38/JNK1 instead of ERK1. The present study documents a novel role of DUSP9 in hepatic I/R injury and implies the potential of targeting the DUSP9/ASK1 axis towards mitogen-activated protein kinase and TRAF6/inhibitor of κB kinase pathways.

Abstract
Hepatic ischemia-reperfusion injury (IRI) represents a major challenge during liver surgery, liver preservation for transplantation, and can cause hemorrhagic shock with severe hypoxemia and trauma. The reduction of blood supply with a concomitant deficit in oxygen delivery initiates various molecular mechanisms involving the innate and adaptive immune response, alterations in gene transcription, induction of cell death programs, and changes in metabolic state and vascular function. Hepatic IRI is a major cause of morbidity and mortality, and is associated with an increased risk for tumor growth and recurrence after oncologic surgery for primary and secondary hepatobiliary malignancies. Therapeutic strategies to prevent or treat hepatic IRI have been investigated in animal models but, for the most part, have failed to provide a protective effect in a clinical setting. This review focuses on the molecular mechanisms underlying hepatic IRI and regeneration, as well as its clinical implications. A better understanding of this complex and highly dynamic process may allow for the development of innovative therapeutic approaches and optimize patient outcomes.

[PMID: 35260558 PMCID: PMC8904859 DOI: 10.1038/s41420-021-00784-7] [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: 05/11/2021] [Revised: 11/24/2021] [Accepted: 12/02/2021] [Indexed: 11/24/2022]
Abstract
The purpose of the present study is to define the role of sevoflurane (SEV) in hepatic ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) injury as well as its underlying mechanism. Initially, hepatic I/R animal models and I/R hepatocyte models were established in C57BL/6 mice and normal mouse hepatocytes (BNL CL.2) after SEV preconditioning, respectively, followed by detection of microRNA-124-3p (miR-124-3p), TRAF3, and CREB expression by RT-qPCR and Western blot analysis. In addition, miR-124-3p, TRAF3 and CREB expression in hepatocytes was altered to identify their roles in modulating the levels of glutathione transferase (GST), aspartate aminotransferase (AST) and alanine aminotransferase (ALT), and inflammation-related factors and hepatocyte apoptosis by ELISA and flow cytometry respectively. The effects of SEV on the miR-124-3p/TRAF3/CREB axis were also verified in vitro and in vivo. IP assay was performed to verify the effect of TRAF3 on CREB ubiquitination in BNL CL.2 cells, and the cycloheximide (CHX) intervention experiment to detect the stability of CREB protein. SEV augmented the miR-124-3p expression in I/R animal and cell models. Moreover, SEV was observed to suppress I/R-induced liver damage, GST, ALT, and AST levels, hepatocyte apoptosis and inflammation. Overexpression of miR-124-3p resulted in alleviation of hepatic I/R injury, which was countered by TRAF3 overexpression. miR-124-3p targeted TRAF3, while TRAF3 promoted CREB ubiquitination and reduced protein stability of CREB. SEV could impede I/R-induced liver damage, GST, ALT, and AST levels, hepatocyte apoptosis and inflammation via mediation of the miR-124-3p/TRAF3/CREB axis in vitro and in vivo. Collectively, SEV may upregulate miR-124-3p to inhibit TRAF3 expression, thereby reducing the ubiquitination and degradation of CREB, alleviating hepatic I/R injury.

Abstract
Hepatic ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury plays a pivotal pathogenic role in trauma, hepatectomy, and liver transplantation. However, the whole mechanism remains undescribed. The objective of this study is to investigate the internal mechanism by which microRNA-22 (miR-22) targets family with sequence similarity 49 member B (FAM49B), thus aggravating hepatic I/R injury. Here, we found that miR-22 was upregulated while FAM49B was reduced in hepatic I/R injury. Inhibition of miR-22 in vitro was able to intensify expression of FAM49B, thus reducing phosphorylation of inhibitors of nuclear factor kappa-B kinase (IKK) and downstream pro-inflammatory proteins. A dual luciferase reporter assay indicated that miR-22 directly targeted FAM49B. Remission of hepatic pathologic alterations, apoptosis, and release of cytokines derived from constraints of miR-22 were abolished in vivo by repressing FAM49B. Further interference of Ras-related C3 botulinum toxin substrate 1 (Rac1) reversed the function of FAM49B inhibition, thus achieving anti-inflammatory consequences.

Abstract
Blood-borne miRNAs serve as disease diagnostic biomarkers and await clinical validation. Here, we evaluated Cel-miR-39-3p and miRNA16-5p as calibrator for the quantification of 15 miRNAs linked to hepatic impairment. We added defined copy numbers of Cel-miR-39-3p to plasma of healthy controls (N = 5) and patient samples undergoing liver resection (N = 51). The miRNAs were isolated according to SOPs and quantified by RT-qPCR using the 2-(ΔΔ-CT)-method. Although miRNA16-5p and the spike-in control behaved similar in qPCR assays (R2 = 0.8591) the spike-in control suffered from high inter-patient variability (median 7.6-fold) and low recoveries (median 5.6%, 95% CI 1.5-11.8%). Adding Cel-miR-39-3p to blood samples prior to RNA-isolation improved the recoveries (median 105.7%; 95% CI 29.9-219.9%), yet the inter-patient variability remained high (median 7.2-fold). Alike, we observed significant variability in CT-values for miRNA16-5p (range 14.7-fold) thus rendering this internal, blood-borne reference gene unacceptable as comparator. Specifically, 10 out of 15 diagnostic miRNAs failed the criteria R2 ≥ 0.8 even though we added a defined copy number of Cel-miR-39-3p. This suggests interference of the spike-in control with individual miRNAs in the assay. Our study highlights current limitations in the quantification of blood-borne miRNAs that is of particularly importance when used for disease diagnostic and therapeutic interventions.

Abstract
Ischemia/reperfusion (I/R)‑induced liver injury remains a primary concern in liver transplantation and hepatectomy. Previous studies have indicated that microRNAs (miRs) are involved in multiple pathophysiological processes, including liver I/R. miR‑140‑5p reportedly inhibits inflammatory responses and apoptosis in several diseases; however, the role of miR‑140‑5p in liver I/R remains unknown. The present study aimed to investigate the potential role and mechanism of miR‑140‑5p on liver I/R injury. Mouse liver I/R and mouse AML12 cell hypoxia/reoxygenation (H/R) models were established. miR‑140‑5p mimics, inhibitor or agonists were used to overexpress or inhibit miR‑140‑5p in vitro and in vivo. Reverse transcription‑quantitative polymerase chain reaction was used to detect miR‑140‑5p expression. Liver and cell injury were evaluated using several biochemical assays. The association between miR‑140‑5p and calpain‑1 (CAPN1) was confirmed using a dual‑luciferase reporter assay. The results revealed that miR‑140‑5p expression was decreased in the mouse model of liver I/R injury and AML12 cells subjected to H/R, while overexpressed miR‑140‑5p reduced liver injury in vivo and cell injury in vitro. In addition, CAPN1 was determined to be a target of miR‑140‑5p; overexpressed CAPN1 abrogated the effect of miR‑140‑5p on H/R‑induced cell injury. The present study indicated that miR‑140‑5p protected against liver I/R by targeting CAPN1, which may provide a novel therapeutic target for liver I/R injury.

Rosuvastatin alleviated the liver ischemia reperfusion injury by activating the expression of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma (PPARγ). J Bioenerg Biomembr 2021; 53:573-583.

Abstract
Liver ischemia and reperfusion could cause serious damage to liver tissues. Abnormal liver function could induce serious damage and threaten human health. Evidence emerged to suggest that rosuvastatin could relieve cerebral ischemia-reperfusion injury and alleviate the disease related to vessels by activating the expression of PPARγ. However, whether rosuvastatin could relieve the liver ischemia reperfusion injury by enhancing the expression of PPARγ is unclear. For the strictness of experimental findings, we established both the rat models and the cell model of liver ischemia reperfusion injury by respectively treating rats and cells with rosuvastatin. PPARγ inhibitor was also used for the stimulation of these cells and rats. Reactive oxygen species (ROS) levels, apoptosis and related protein levels were determined with ROS staining, ROS staining and western blotting for the detection of injury induced by oxygen-glucose deprivation and re-oxygenation (OGD/R). Pretreatment of rosuvastatin promoted the expression of PPARγ in liver tissues and MIHA cells. It also inhibited the ischemia reperfusion and OGD/R induced production of ROS while promoted the release of SOD in liver tissues and MIHA cells. Furthermore, rosuvastatin also alleviated the ischemia reperfusion -induced apoptosis of liver tissues and OGD/R-induced MIHA cells apoptosis. However, application of PPARγ inhibitor abolished the restorative effects of rosuvastatin on the apoptosis and oxidative stress on liver tissues and MIHA cells. Rosuvastatin prevented the liver ischemia reperfusion injury of rats by activating PPARγ.

Abstract
Liver ischemia/reperfusion injury (IRI) is an inevitable pathological process exacerbating the occurrence of rejection in liver transplantation. At present, there is still a lack of sufficient cognition for the mechanism as well as effective clinical strategies. F-box/WD repeat-containing protein 5 (FBXW5), a key modulator of stress signalling, was recently reported to participate in hepatic immunity. However, the role of FBXW5 in liver IRI is still unclear. In the present study, we found expression of FBXW5 was increased in liver IRI both in vivo and in vitro. Inhibition of FBXW5 significantly alleviated both mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) and inhibitor of nuclear factor kappa-B kinase (IKK) pathways, thus resulting in cytokine release, hepatic pathological injury and apoptosis. Over-expression of FBXW5 achieved an opposite effect. Investigations on the mechanism showed that FBXW5 intensified hepatic inflammation by promoting phosphorylation of ASK1, while blockade of TRAF6 could abolish this process. Moreover, reinforce of mTOR amplified the anti-inflammatory efficacy derived from inhibition of FBXW5, indicating the function of FBXW5/ASK1/TRAF6 axis in hepatic IRI might be relatively independent of mTOR-guided M2 polarization of Kupffer cell. Taken together, FBXW5 could be a key accelerator in liver IRI by enhancing activation of ASK1 in a TRAF6-dependent manner. The joint intervention towards both FBXW5 and mTOR might be a promising strategy to protect liver from IRI.

Int J Mol Sci 2021; 22:ijms22136680.

Abstract
Clozapine is widely employed in the treatment of schizophrenia. Compared with that of atypical first-generation antipsychotics, atypical second-generation antipsychotics such as clozapine have less severe side effects and may positively affect obesity and blood glucose level. However, no systematic study of clozapine’s adverse metabolic effects—such as changes in kidney and liver function, body weight, glucose and triglyceride levels, and retinopathy—was conducted. This research investigated how clozapine affects weight, the bodily distribution of chromium, liver damage, fatty liver scores, glucose homeostasis, renal impairment, and retinopathy in mice fed a high fat diet (HFD). We discovered that obese mice treated with clozapine gained more weight and had greater kidney, liver, and retroperitoneal and epididymal fat pad masses; higher daily food efficiency; higher serum or hepatic triglyceride, aspartate aminotransferase, alanine aminotransferase, blood urea nitrogen, and creatinine levels; and higher hepatic lipid regulation marker expression than did the HFD-fed control mice. Furthermore, the clozapine group mice exhibited insulin resistance, poorer insulin sensitivity, greater glucose intolerance, and less Akt phosphorylation; their GLUT4 expression was lower, they had renal damage, more reactive oxygen species, and IL-1 expression, and, finally, their levels of antioxidative enzymes (superoxide dismutase, glutathione peroxidase, and catalase) were lower. Moreover, clozapine reduced the thickness of retinal cell layers and increased iNOS and NF-κB expression; a net negative chromium balance occurred because more chromium was excreted through urine, and this influenced chromium mobilization, which did not help overcome the hyperglycemia. Our clozapine group had considerably higher fatty liver scores, which was supported by the findings of lowered adiponectin protein levels and increased FASN protein, PNPLA3 protein, FABP4 mRNA, and SREBP1 mRNA levels. We conclude that clozapine can worsen nonalcoholic fatty liver disease, diabetes, and kidney and retinal injury. Therefore, long-term administration of clozapine warrants higher attention.

Abstract
Nuclear receptor subfamily 4, group A, member 1 (NR4A1) can aggravate ischaemia‐reperfusion (I/R) injury in the heart, kidney and brain. Thus, the present study aimed to unravel the role of NR4A1 on hepatic I/R injury. For this purpose, the mouse hepatic I/R model and H/R‐exposed mouse hepatocytes model were established to stimulate the hepatic and hepatocellular damage. Then, the levels of ALT and AST as well as TNF‐α and IL‐1β expression were measured in the mouse serum and supernatant of hepatocyte s, respectively. Thereafter, we quantified the levels of NR4A1, CYR61, NF‐kB p65 and TGFβ1 under pathological conditions, and their interactions were analysed using ChIP and dual‐luciferase reporter gene assays. The in vivo and in vitro effects of NR4A1, CYR61, NF‐kB p65 and TGFβ1 on I/R‐induced hepatic and H/R‐induced hepatocellular damage were evaluated using gain‐ and loss‐of‐function approaches. NR4A1 was up‐regulated in the hepatic tissues of I/R‐operated mice and in H/R‐treated hepatocytes. Silencing NR4A1 relieved the I/R‐induced hepatic injury, as supported by suppression of ALT and AST as well as TNF‐α and IL‐1β. Meanwhile, NR4A1 knockdown attenuated the H/R‐induced hepatocellular damage by inhibiting the apoptosis of hepatocyte s. Moreover, we also found that NR4A1 up‐regulated the expression of CYR61 which resulted in the activation of the NF‐κB signalling pathway, thereby enhancing the transcription of TGFβ1, which was validated to be the mechanism underlying the contributory role of NR4A1 in hepatic I/R injury. Taken together, NR4A1 silencing reduced the expression of CYR61/NF‐κB/TGFβ1, thereby relieving the hepatic I/R injury.

Sevoflurane Postconditioning Attenuates Hepatic Ischemia-Reperfusion Injury by Limiting HMGB1/TLR4/NF-κB Pathway via Modulating microRNA-142 in vivo and in vitro. Front Pharmacol 2021; 12:646307. [PMID: 33935744 PMCID: PMC8085516 DOI: 10.3389/fphar.2021.646307] [Citation(s) in RCA: 10] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/26/2020] [Accepted: 03/29/2021] [Indexed: 12/12/2022] Open
Abstract
Preconditioning of sevoflurane (Sevo) has been demonstrated to protect the liver from ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury. However, it is unknown whether it has hepatoprotective when given at the onset of reperfusion (postconditioning), a protocol with more clinical impact. The present study aimed to explore the hepatoprotective effects of Sevo postconditioning against hepatic IR injury in vivo and in vitro and the possible mechanisms. Using a mouse model of hepatic I/R, Sevo postconditioning significantly improved hepatic injury after reperfusion, as demonstrated by reduced AST, ALT, and LDH serum levels and reduced histologic damage in liver tissues. Furthermore, Sevo postconditioning could suppress the apoptosis, inhibit oxidative stress and inflammatory response in liver tissue of HIRI mice, as well as improve the survival rate of HIRI mice. Through analyzing GSE72314 from the gene expression omnibus (GEO) database, it was demonstrated that microRNA (miR)-142 is downregulated by HIRI, which was reversed by Sevo treatment. Further investigation showed that agomiR-142 injection could enhance the hepatoprotective effects of Sevo postconditioning on I/R injury, while antagomiR-142 reversed these effects in mice. Notably, high mobility group box 1 (HMGB1), an important inflammatory factor, was directly targeted by miR-142 in hepatic cells, and we further found that Sevo could inhibit the expression of HMGB1 through up-regulating miR-142 expression in HIRI mice model. In addition, we found that I/R injury induced the activation of TLR4/NF-κB inflammatory pathway was partially suppressed by Sevo postconditioning, and miR-142 mediated the regulatory role of Sevo postconditioning. In line with the in vivo results, Sevo treatment improved the cell viability, inhibited cell apoptosis, oxidative stress and inflammatory response in vitro HIRI model, while these effects were reversed by antagomiR-142 transfection. Collectively, our findings demonstrated that Sevo postconditioning counteracts the downregulation of miR-142 provoked by I/R, in turn decreased the expression of HMGB1, blocking TLR4/NF-κB pathway activation, thus improving hepatic I/R injury. Our data suggest that Sevo may be a valuable alternative anaesthetic agent in liver transplantation and major liver surgeries.

Abstract
Hepatic ischemia/reperfusion injury (IRI) is an inevitable pathological process in liver resection, shock and transplantation. However, the internal mechanism of hepatic IRI, including inflammatory transduction of multiple signaling pathways, is not fully understood. In the present study, we identified pleckstrin homology-like domain family member 1 (PHLDA1), suppressed by microRNA (miR)-194, as a critical intersection of dual inflammatory signals in hepatic IRI. PHLDA1 was upregulated in hepatic IRI with a concomitant downregulation of miR-194. Overexpression of miR-194 diminished PHLDA1 and inhibitors of the nuclear factor kappa-B kinase (IKK) pathway, thus leading to remission of hepatic pathological injury, apoptosis and release of cytokines. Further enrichment of PHLDA1 reversed the function of miR-194 both in vivo and in vitro. For an in-depth query, we verified PHLDA1 as a direct target of miR-194. Notably, inflammatory signal transduction of PHLDA1 was induced by activating TNF receptor-associated factor 6 (TRAF6), sequentially initiating IKK and mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK), both of which aggravate stress and inflammation in hepatic IRI. In conclusion, the miR-194/PHLDA1 axis was a key upstream regulator of IKK and MAPK in hepatic IRI. Targeting PHLDA1 might be a potential strategy for hepatic IRI therapy.

Abstract
AIMS Hepatic ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury is a critical factor affecting the prognosis of liver surgery. The aim of this study is to explore the effects of SET8 on hepatic I/R injury and the putative mechanisms. MAIN METHODS The expression of SET8 and MARK4 in I/R group and sham group were detected both in vivo and in vitro. In addition, mouse and RAW 264.7 cells were transfected with MARK4 siRNA and SET8 siRNA knockdown of MARK4 and SET8, respectively. The expression of SET8, MARK4 and NLRP3-associated proteins were detected after different treatments. The pathology of liver and the serologic detection were detected after different treatments. KEY FINDINGS Our present study identified SET domain-containing protein 8 (SET8) as an efficient protein, which can negatively regulate hepatic I/R-mediated inflammatory response and ameliorate hepatic I/R injury by suppressing microtubule affinity-regulating kinase 4 (MARK4)/ NLR family pyrin domain containing 3 (NLRP3) inflammasome pathway. The data showed that MARK4 deficiency inhibited hypoxia/reoxygenation (H/R)-induced NLRP3 inflammasome activation, while SET8 deficiency showed the opposite effect. We further demonstrated that SET8 restrained NLRP3 inflammasome activation by inhibiting MARK4. Moreover, we verified SET8 made protective effect on hepatic I/R injury. SIGNIFICANCE SET8 plays an essential role in hepatic ischemia/reperfusion injury in mice by suppressing MARK4/NLRP3 inflammasome pathway. Our results may offer a new strategy to mitigate hepatic I/R injury.

Abstract
BACKGROUND A number of anesthetics have protective effect against ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) injury, including desflurane. But the function and molecular mechanism of desflurane in liver I/R injury have not been fully understood. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of desflurane on liver I/R injury and further investigated the molecular mechanisms involving in miR-135b-5p. METHODS The models of liver I/R injury in rats were established, and received desflurane treatment throughout the injury. Serum alanine transaminase (ALT) and aspartate transaminase (AST) were measured and compared between groups. H/R-induced cell model in L02 was established, and were treated with desflurane before hypoxia. Quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction was performed to determine the expression of miR-135b-5p in different groups. The cell apoptosis was detected using flow cytometry assay. Western blot was used for the measurement of protein levels. RESULTS I/R significantly increased serum levels of ALT and AST in rats, which were reversed by desflurane treatment. Desflurane also significantly attenuated the increase of cell apoptosis induced by I/R in both vivo and vitro. MiR-135b-5p significantly reversed the protective effect of desflurane against liver I/R injury. Additionally, Janus protein tyrosine kinase (JAK)2 was shown to be a target gene of miR-135b-5p, and miR-135b-5p overexpression significantly decreased the protein levels of p-JAK2, JAK2, p-STAT3. CONCLUSION Desflurane attenuated liver I/R injury through regulating miR-135b-5p, and JAK2 was the target gene of mIR-135b-5p. These findings provide references for further development of therapeutic strategies in liver injury.

Abstract
Ischemia reperfusion injury (IRI) is a condition that occurs wherever blood flow and oxygen is reduced or absent, such as trauma, vascular disease, stroke, and solid organ transplantation. This condition can lead to tissue damage, especially during organ transplantation. Under such circumstances, some signaling pathways are activated, leading to up- or down- regulation of several genes such as microRNAs (miRNAs) that might attenuate or ameliorate this status. Therefore, by manipulating miRNAs level, they can be used as a biomarker for early diagnosis of IRI or suggestive to be therapeutic agents in clinical situation in future.

Abstract
Tumor necrosis factor receptor-associated factor (TRAF) proteins are a family of signaling molecules that function downstream of multiple receptor signaling pathways, and they play a pivotal role in the regulation of intracellular biological progresses. These TRAF-dependent signaling pathways and physiological functions have been involved in the occurrence and progression of ischemia-reperfusion injury (IRI), which is a common pathophysiological process that occurs in a wide variety of clinical events, including ischemic shock, organ transplantation, and thrombolytic therapy, resulting in a poor prognosis and high mortality. IRI occurs in multiple organs, including liver, kidney, heart, lung, brain, intestine, and retina. In recent years, mounting compelling evidence has confirmed that the genetic alterations of TRAFs can cause subversive phenotype changes during IRI of those organs. In this review, based on current knowledge, we summarized and analyzed the regulatory effect of TRAFs on the IRI of various organs, providing clear direction and a firm theoretical basis for the development of treatment strategies to manipulate TRAF proteins or TRAF-dependent signaling pathways in IRI-related diseases.

Abstract
Neovascularization in the retina can cause loss of vision. Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) serves an important role in the pathogenesis of retinal vascular diseases. Hypoxia is a notable cause of VEGF release and both STAT3 and ERBB2 are known to be associated with VEGF. In addition, STAT3 and ERBB2 interact with each other. In the present study, it was hypothesized that signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 (STAT3) and erbB-2 receptor tyrosine kinase 2 (ERBB2) may be involved in the regulation of hypoxia-induced VEGF in the retina. Cells of the retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) are an important source of VEGF. Therefore, the RPE-derived human cell line ARPE-19 was exposed to hypoxia. Hypoxia-induced phosphorylation of STAT3 and ERBB2 in ARPE-19 cells was decreased by AG490, an inhibitor of Janus kinase 2, as were hypoxia-induced VEGF release and tube formation in human umbilical vein endothelial cells. Thus, phosphorylation of ERBB2 and STAT3 regulates hypoxia-induced VEGF release in ARPE-19 cells. The results of the present study suggested that inhibition of ERBB2 and STAT3-mediated pathways under hypoxia may represent a new strategy for treating retinal vascular disease.

Abstract
Ischemia, being defined as blood supply deficiency is involved in the pathogenesis of a number of life-threatening conditions such as myocardial infarction and cerebral stroke. Assessment of the molecular pathology of these conditions has led to identification of the role of reperfusion in induction and aggravation of tissue injury and necrosis. Thus, the term "ischemia/ reperfusion (I/R) injury" has been introduced. This process involves aberrant regulation of the mitochondrial function, apoptotic and autophagic pathways and signal transducers. More recently, non-coding RNAs including long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) ad microRNAs (miRNAs) have been shown to influence I/R injury. Animal studies and clinical investigations have shown up-/down-regulation of tens of lncRNAs and miRNAs in this process. In the current study, we summarize the role of these transcripts in the pathophysiology of I/R injury and their potential as biomarkers for detection of extent of tissue injury.

Inhibition of miR-450b-5p ameliorates hepatic ischemia/reperfusion injury via targeting CRYAB. Cell Death Dis 2020; 11:455.

Abstract
Hepatic ischemia/reperfusion injury (IRI) is an unavoidable course in liver transplantation, during which the immune response of inflammation plays a leading part. MicroRNA-450b-5p (miR-450b-5p), which has been reported to participate in several inflammatory diseases, was investigated in this study. The purpose of this study is to identify the potential function of miR-450b-5p toward remission of hepatic IRI and elucidate the specific mechanism. Herein we found that expression of miR-450b-5p, interleukin (IL)-1β, tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), and IL-6 was stimulated in hepatic IRI. Inhibition of miR-450b-5p could remarkably alleviate mouse hepatic IRI and improve liver function measured by hematoxylin-eosin (HE) staining, terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase dUTP nick-end labeling (TUNEL), and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). We further assessed protein expression undergoing Western blot and immunofluorescence, and discovered that miR-450b-5p suppressed alpha B-crystallin (CRYAB), thus restraining the inhibitory κB kinase (IKK) β-mediated canonical nuclear factor-κB (NF-κB) signaling, instead of the noncanonical path guided by IKKα in hepatic IRI. In addition, we demonstrated CRYAB as an activator of M2 polarization through protein kinase B (Akt) 1/mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR), thus resulting in relief of liver IRI. Combination treatment containing both paths revealed a better antidamage efficacy than adjusting either path alone, suggesting that the joint therapy might be a promising solution in hepatic IRI.

In addition, treatment of ASE reduced the levels of pro-inflammatory cytokines (IL-1β, TNF-α, IL-6, MCP-1), and increased the activities of antioxidant enzyme (GSH-Px, SOD, and CAT). Furthermore, ASE could suppress the mRNA expression of COX-2 and CHI3L1 and improve the mRNA expression of CAT and GPx-1 in ankle tissues of RA rats.Discussion and conclusions: For the first time, our results indicated ASE exerts anti-RA effects via inhibiting pro-inflammatory factors and alleviating oxidative stress. Our finding sheds light on the research and development of anti-RA functional foods from adlay seed.

Coenzyme Q 10 protects hepatocytes from ischemia reperfusion-induced apoptosis and oxidative stress via regulation of Bax/Bcl-2/PUMA and Nrf-2/FOXO-3/Sirt-1 signaling pathways. Tissue Cell 2019; 60:1-13.

Abstract
Coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10) is a component of the mitochondrial electron transport chain and regarded as a strong anti-oxidant agent. In this study, we focused on the mechanistic insights involved in the hepato-protective effects of CoQ10 against hepatic ischemia reperfusion (IR) injury. Our results revealed that CoQ10 significantly improved hepatic dysfunctions and oxidative stress caused by IR injury. Interestingly, as compared to IR subjected rat, CoQ10 inhibited apoptosis by marked down-regulation of both Bax and PUMA genes while the level of Bcl-2 gene was significantly increased. Moreover, CoQ10 up-regulated PI3K, Akt and mTOR protein expressions while it inhibited the expression of both GSK-3β and β-catenin. Additionally, CoQ10 restored oxidant/antioxidant balance via marked activated Nrf-2 protein as well as up-regulation of both Sirt-1 and FOXO-3 genes. Moreover, CoQ10 strongly inhibited inflammatory response through down-regulation of NF-κB-p65 and decrease both JAK1 and STAT-3 protein expressions with a subsequent modulating circulating inflammatory cytokines. Furthermore, histopathological analysis showed that CoQ10 remarkably ameliorated the histopathological damage induced by IR injury. Taken together, our results suggested and proved that CoQ10 provided a hepato-protection against hepatic IR injury via inhibition of apoptosis, oxidative stress, inflammation and their closed related pathways.

Abstract
An ischemic stroke is a devastating neurological disease with the typical occurrence of brain ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury, and it has high mortality and disability globally. Microglia activation after a stroke results in the release of pro-inflammatory cytokines that can further aggravate brain damage. A recent study confirmed the potential role of ubiquitin-specific peptidase 4 (USP4) in the injury process. Nevertheless, the role and mechanism of USP4 during an ischemic stroke remain elusive. In this research, we simulated an I/R injury by oxygen glucose deprivation/reoxygenation (OGD/R) in vitro and confirmed the obvious down-regulation of USP4 in microglia under OGD/R conditions. Moreover, USP4 elevation antagonized the OGD/R-induced microglia proliferation and activation by suppressing the NO levels and the expression of the microglial marker IBA-1. Additionally, the overexpression of USP4 suppressed the release of microglia activation-induced pro-inflammatory cytokines, including IL-1β, IL-6, and TNF-α. Intriguingly, incubation with the conditioned medium from the microglia under OGD/R conditions induced neurotoxicity by inhibiting cell viability and increasing the LDH release, apoptosis, and caspase-3 activity, which were reversed following USP4 overexpression. Mechanism analysis corroborated that USP4 up-regulation repressed the OGD/R-induced activation of TRAF6-NF-κB signaling. Notably, restoring the TRAF6 signaling ameliorated the suppressive effects of USP4 elevation on microglia activation, inflammation, and the subsequent neuron injury. These findings suggest that USP4 may alleviate ischemic stroke by restraining microglia-mediated neuro-inflammation and neurotoxicity via the TRAF6-NF-κB pathway, due to which it is a promising therapeutic agent against strokes. An ischemic stroke is a devastating neurological disease with the typical occurrence of brain ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury, and it has high mortality and disability globally.![]()
