The effect of local anaesthetics on apoptosis and NETosis of human neutrophils in vitro: comparison between lidocaine and ropivacaine. Hum Cell 2023; 36:2027-2039. [PMID: 37589878 PMCID: PMC10587218 DOI: 10.1007/s13577-023-00963-x] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/14/2023] [Accepted: 07/28/2023] [Indexed: 08/18/2023]
Abstract
There are immunological consequences to the method by which neutrophils undergo cell death. Neutrophil apoptosis, called silent death, leads to the resolution of inflammation, while NETosis deepens and prolongs the inflammatory response and is associated with a worse prognosis of severe infections, e.g., sepsis. Besides nociceptive inhibition, local anaesthetics modulate leukocyte functions, even at low, clinically relevant concentrations. There is currently no data on ropivacaine NETosis, and this study aimed to evaluate the impact of clinical concentrations of ropivacaine (0.0007, 0.007 and 1.4 mmol/L) and lidocaine (0.002, 0.02 and 4 mmol/L) on apoptosis and NETosis of adult peripheral blood neutrophils after 2 h of incubation. Neutrophil identification, apoptosis and NETosis were evaluated by flow cytometry using forward and side scatter characteristics and fluorescent labelling: CD15 for neutrophils identification; Annexin V and propidium iodide for apoptosis and citrullinated histone H3 and myeloperoxidase for NETosis. Lidocaine (4 mmol/L) and ropivacaine (1.4 mmol/L) induced early apoptosis in resting but not in stimulated neutrophils. Low doses of ropivacaine (0.0007 and 0.007 mmol/L) decreased the number of late apoptotic neutrophils, and the lowest dose slightly increased their viability. None of the drugs induced NETosis in resting neutrophils but decreased NETosis at clinical concentrations compared to PMA-stimulated 4 mM lidocaine, PMA-stimulated control, and 1.4 mM ropivacaine. The effect of lidocaine and ropivacaine on apoptosis and NETosis depended on neutrophil stimulation and drug concentrations. Ropivacaine tends to be cytoprotective at concentrations observed in plasma under local anaesthesia. Lidocaine enhanced NETosis at high concentration only in stimulated neutrophils. Thus, both drugs have the ability to change the course of inflammation.

Abstract
Mitochondria are central organelles in the homeostasis of the cardiovascular system via the integration of several physiological processes, such as ATP generation via oxidative phosphorylation, synthesis/exchange of metabolites, calcium sequestration, reactive oxygen species (ROS) production/buffering and control of cellular survival/death. Mitochondrial impairment has been widely recognized as a central pathomechanism of almost all cardiovascular diseases, rendering these organelles important therapeutic targets. Mitochondrial dysfunction has been reported to occur in the setting of drug-induced toxicity in several tissues and organs, including the heart. Members of the drug classes currently used in the therapeutics of cardiovascular pathologies have been reported to both support and undermine mitochondrial function. For the latter case, mitochondrial toxicity is the consequence of drug interference (direct or off-target effects) with mitochondrial respiration/energy conversion, DNA replication, ROS production and detoxification, cell death signaling and mitochondrial dynamics. The present narrative review aims to summarize the beneficial and deleterious mitochondrial effects of common cardiovascular medications as described in various experimental models and identify those for which evidence for both types of effects is available in the literature.

Abstract
Cancer is a major global health problem and the second leading cause of death worldwide. When detected early, surgery provides a potentially curative intervention for many solid organ tumours. Unfortunately, cancer frequently recurs postoperatively. Evidence from laboratory and retrospective clinical studies suggests that the choice of anaesthetic and analgesic agents used perioperatively may influence the activity of residual cancer cells and thus affect subsequent recurrence risk. The amide local anaesthetic lidocaine has a well-established role in perioperative therapeutics, whether used systemically as an analgesic agent or in the provision of regional anaesthesia. Under laboratory conditions, lidocaine has been shown to inhibit cancer cell behaviour and exerts beneficial effects on components of the inflammatory and immune responses which are known to affect cancer biology. These findings raise the possibility that lidocaine administered perioperatively as a safe and inexpensive intravenous infusion may provide significant benefits in terms of long term cancer outcomes. However, despite the volume of promising laboratory data, robust prospective clinical evidence supporting beneficial anti-cancer effects of perioperative lidocaine treatment is lacking, although trials are planned to address this. This review provides a state of the art summary of the current knowledge base and recent advances regarding perioperative lidocaine therapy, its biological effects and influence on postoperative cancer outcomes.

Abstract
Local anesthetics (LAs) are capable of influencing cell viability in systemic immunity and may also modify metabolism of those present in umbilical cord blood (UCB) following obstetric neuraxial analgesia and anaesthesia. Data regarding UCB immature cells, important for the neonate and critical for putative UCB transplantations, are lacking. LAs are capable of stimulating intracellular nitric oxide (NO) in human neutrophils; no information is available concerning newly perpetuated cells and its potential association with viability. The study aimed at assessing the LAs influence on the cell viability and intracellular NO production by UCB CD34+CD133– and CD34+ CD133+ cell populations. Mononuclear cells separated from UCB samples (n = 19) were incubated with bupivacaine (0.0005, 0.005, 1 mM), lidocaine (0.002, 0.02, 4 mM), and ropivacaine (0.0007, 0.007, 1.4 mM) for 4 h. Flow cytometry was applied for the assessment of cell viability and intracellular NO generation in CD34+CD133– and CD34+CD133+ cell populations using annexinV/7-AAD and DAF-2DA stainings, respectively. CD34+CD133+ cells showed less pronounced late apoptosis and necrosis as compared to CD34+CD133-population. Intracellular NO generation was comparable between both cell populations studied. LAs neither influenced cell viability nor changed NO production in either population. LAs do not interfere with viability and intracellular NO generation in the UCB CD34+CD133– and CD34+CD133+ cell populations.

Abstract
Objective This study aimed to test the hypothesis that levobupivacaine has anti-tumour effects on breast cancer cells. Results Colony formation and transwell assay were used to determine breast cancer cells proliferation. Flow Cytometry (annexin V and PI staining) was used to investigate breast cancer cells apoptosis. The effects of levobupivacaine on cellular signalling and molecular response were studied with Quantitative Polymerase Chain Reaction and western blot. Induction of apoptosis was confirmed by cell viability, morphological changes showed cell shrinkage, rounding, and detachments from plates. The results of the western blot and Quantitative Polymerase Chain Reaction indicated activation of active caspase-3 and inhibition of FOXO1. The results of the flow Cytometry confirmed that levobupivacaine inhibited breast cancer cell proliferation and enhanced apoptosis of breast cancer cells. Quantitative Polymerase Chain Reaction and Western blot analysis showed increased p21 and decreased cyclin D. Quantitative Polymerase Chain Reaction and western blot analysis showed that levobupivacaine significantly increased Bax expression, accompanied by a significant decreased Bcl-2 expression and inhibition of PI3K/Akt/mTOR signalling pathway. These findings suggested that levobupivacaine inhibits proliferation and promotes breast cancer cells apoptosis in vitro.

Abstract
Background Lidocaine spray is a local anesthetic that improves random-pattern skin flap survival. The fractional ablative carbon dioxide laser (FxCL) produces vertical microchannels that delivers topically applied drugs to the skin. In this study, we hypothesized that FxCL therapy would enhance the lidocaine effect to improve random-pattern skin flap survival in rats. Methods McFarlane random-pattern skin flaps were elevated in 48 rats, which were divided into four groups according to treatment: FxCL+lidocaine, FxCL, lidocaine, and nontreatment (control). On postoperative day 7, necrotic flap areas, the number of capillary vessels, and neutrophil count were evaluated. Anti-rat vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and CD31 antibody activity were also evaluated by immunohistochemical staining. Results Flap survival rate was 53.41%± 5.43%, 58.16%± 4.80%, 57.08%± 5.91%, and 69.08%±3.20% in the control, lidocaine, FxCL, and FxCL+lidocaine groups, respectively. Mean neutrophil count in the intermediate zone excluding the necrotic tissue was 41.70± 8.40, 35.43± 6.41, 37.23±7.15, and 27.20± 4.24 cells/field in the control, lidocaine, FxCL, and FxCL+lidocaine groups, respectively. Anti-rat VEGF and CD31 antibody activity were the highest in the FxCL+lidocaine group. Conclusion FxCL with lidocaine had a positive effect on random-pattern skin flap survival in rats. Thus, FxCL with lidocaine spray should be considered as a new treatment option to improve flap viability.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Bupivacaine is a commonly used local anesthetic that has been shown to be cytotoxic to articular chondrocytes and various tumor cells. This study evaluates the in vitro effects of bupivacaine on cartilaginous tumor cells. METHODS Multiple different cartilaginous tumors were evaluated, including enchondromas, chondroblastomas, a low-grade chondrosarcoma, which were harvested from patients during tumor resection, and a grade-II chondrosarcoma SW1535 (ATCC HTB-94). The tumor cells were treated with 0.25% and 0.5% bupivacaine at various times points, and the result was compared with that of untreated tumor cells. Tumor cell viability and apoptosis were evaluated by MTT (3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyl tetrazolium bromide) assay and flow cytometry. RESULTS The tumors were analyzed in groups according to their pathologic diagnosis. Increasing periods of exposure to bupivacaine decreased the cell viability in all tumor samples. The cytotoxicity of 0.5% bupivacaine was significantly greater than that of 0.25% bupivacaine in all tumor cells tested. DISCUSSION At clinically relevant concentrations, in vitro exposure to bupivacaine caused a decrease in cellular viability and an increase in the induction of apoptosis in a dose- and time-dependent manner in each of the tumor cells evaluated in this study.

Abstract
Nitric oxide (NO) generation by systemic neonatal neutrophils is not clarified. It is also not known whether local anaesthetics (LAs) transferred to the fetal systemic circulation following maternal epidural blockade may affect this process. In the present study, NO generation was evaluated in neutrophils from cord blood (CB, n = 11) and adult blood (n = 10) following exposure to bupivacaine (0.0005, 0.005, 1 mM), lidocaine (0.002, 0.02, 4 mM) and ropivacaine (0.0007, 0.007, 1.4 mM) using flow cytometry, as well as indirectly by determining nitrite concentrations in cell incubation media. To determine the role of NO synthase (NOS) isoforms in NO generation following exposure to LAs, experiments were repeated in the presence of the NOS inhibitors, NG-nitro-L-arginine methyl ester and aminoguanidine; in addition, the expression of NOS isoforms was analysed. CB neutrophils produced less NO than adult neutrophils. LAs, especially ropivacaine and lidocaine, stimulated neutrophil NO generation, but in CB neutrophils this effect was negligible at clinically relevant drug concentrations. A mechanism involving NOS activity was responsible for the observed phenomena. In conclusion, LAs are able to upregulate neutrophil NO production, but in neonates this effect is likely to be clinically insignificant.

Abstract
Malignant glioma is the most common type of brain cancer with poor prognosis. Surgical resection, chemotherapy and radiotherapy are the main therapeutic options; however, in addition to their insufficient efficacy, they are associated with the pain experienced by patients. To relieve pain, local anesthetics, such as lidocaine can be used. In the present study, the effects of lidocaine on the C6 rat glioma cell line were investigated. An MTT assay and Annexin V/propidium iodide analysis indicated the increase in the percentage of apoptotic and necrotic cells in response to lidocaine. Furthermore, light microscopy analysis on the ultrastructural level presented the occurrence of vacuole-like structures associated with autophagy, which was supported by the analysis of autophagy markers (microtubule-associated protein 1A/1B-light chain 3, acridine orange and Beclin-1). Additionally, reorganization of the cytoskeleton was observed following treatment with lidocaine, which serves an important role in the course of autophagy. To determine the nature of autophagy, an inhibitor, bafilomycin A1 was applied. This compound suppressed the fusion of autophagosomes with lysosomes and increased the percentage of apoptotic cells. These results demonstrated that lidocaine may induce cytoprotective autophagy and that manipulation of this process could be an alternative therapeutic strategy in the treatment of cancer.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Whether local anesthetics exert anti-inflammatory effects in fetal and newborn systemic neutrophils is unclear. The aim of the present study was to assess the effects of bupivacaine and lidocaine on the respiratory burst of cord blood neutrophils in vitro compared with adult cells. METHODS Whole cord blood (n = 12) and control adult blood samples (n = 7) were incubated with bupivacaine (0.0005, 0.005, 0.05, 1 mmol/l) and lidocaine (0.002, 0.02, 0.2, 4 mmol/l) for 1 and 4 h. The production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) by unstimulated neutrophils and the phorbol myristate acetate-induced oxidative burst were assessed by flow cytometry. A subset of neutrophils showing high fluorescence intensity (rho+) was analyzed separately. RESULTS After 1 h incubation, local anesthetics decreased the respiratory burst in whole cord blood and adult neutrophils in a similar manner. At the clinically relevant concentration of 0.0005 mmol/l, bupivacaine was active, but its effect in cord blood cells could not be detected after 4 h. The cord blood rho+ cell subset was unresponsive to the inhibitory action of bupivacaine. In rho+ neutrophils, basal ROS production was stimulated by lidocaine at the lowest concentration tested. CONCLUSION Bupivacaine and lidocaine can decrease the respiratory burst in neutrophils of term newborns.

Abstract
Lidocaine has been recognized to induce neurotoxicity. However, the molecular mechanism underlying this effect, especially the critical molecules in cells that mediated the lidocaine-induced apoptosis were unclear. In the present study, PC12 cells were administrated with lidocaine for 48h. Using MTT assay and flow cytometry, we found lidocaine significantly decreased the cell proliferation and S phases in PC12 cells with treatment concentrations, and significantly enhanced cell apoptosis with treatment concentrations. Two-dimensional gel electrophoresis (2-DE) analysis and LC-MS/MS were used to identification of protein biomarkers. Six proteins were identified. Among them, three were up-expressed including ANXA6, GNB2 and STMN1, other three were down-expressed including ubiquitin-linke protein 7 (UBL7), DDAH2 and BLVRB. Using qRT-PCR, we confirmed that lidocaine up-regulated the mRNA expression of STMN1, GNB2, ANXA6 and DDAH2, and found that the GNB2 had the largest change (about increased by 6.4 folds). The up-regulation of GNB2 by lidocaine was also validated by western blot. After transfected with 100μM GNB2-Rat-453 siRNA, the expression of GNB2 in PC12 cells was almost completely inhibited; and the cell proliferation and cells in S phases were significantly enhanced, cell apoptosis including both early apoptosis and later apoptosis were significantly reduced in the presence of 0.5mM lidocaine for 48h. Therefore, neuronal apoptosis was induced by lidocaine and this effect was mediated by GNB2. Further research is needed to assess the clinical relevance and exact mechanism of neuronal apoptosis caused by lidocaine.

Abstract
Lidocaine has been indicated to promote apoptosis and to promote endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress. However, the mechanism underlining ER stress-mediated apoptosis is unclear. In the present study, we investigated the promotion to ER stress in the lidocaine-induced apoptosis in human neuroblastoma SH-SY5Y cells. Firstly, we confirmed that lidocaine treatment induced apoptosis in SH-SY5Y cells, time-dependently and dose-dependently, via MTT cell viability assay and annexin V/FITC apoptosis detection with a FACScan flow cytometer. And the anti-apoptosis Bcl-2 and Bcl-xL were downregulated, whereas the apoptosis-executive caspase 3 was promoted through Western blot assay and caspase 3 activity assay. Moreover, the ER stress-associated binding immunoglobulin protein (BiP), PKR-like ER kinase (PERK), activating transcription factor 4 (ATF4) and CCAAT/enhancer-binding protein homologous protein (CHOP) were also upregulated at both mRNA and protein levels by lidocaine treatment. On the other hand, downregulation of the ER stress-associated BiP by RNAi method not only blocked the lidocaine-promoted ER stress but also attenuated the lidocaine-induced SH-SY5Y cell apoptosis. In conclusion, the present study confirmed the involvement of ER stress in the lidocaine-induced apoptosis in human neuroblastoma SH-SY5Y cells. Our study provides a better understanding on the mechanism of lidocaine's neurovirulence.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Children often receive inferior alveolar nerve blocks (IANBs) when their third molars are just beginning to develop. The location of the third-molar follicle is close to where the needle penetrates during an IANB. The authors examined the possible association between IANBs and missing third molars. METHODS The authors examined 439 potential sites of third-molar development for evidence of third-molar follicles on panoramic radiographs of randomly selected children 7 years and older. The authors conducted a statistical comparison of the incidence of missing third-molar follicles in a control group of children who had no history of receiving IANBs with children in a test group who had a definitive history of receiving IANBs by means of generalized estimating equations. RESULTS The authors found a statistically significant greater incidence of missing third-molar follicles in mandibular quadrants that had a definitive history of receiving IANBs compared with mandibular quadrants that had no history of receiving IANB. CONCLUSION IANBs administered to young children when the third-molar tooth bud is immature may stop third-molar development. Owing to the significant clinical implications, further research is needed to verify these results. PRACTICAL IMPLICATIONS Dentists inadvertently may be stopping the development of third molars when administering IANBs to children.

Abstract
Local anesthetics are frequently used in fine-needle aspiration of thyroid lesions and locoregional control of persistent or recurrent thyroid cancer. Recent evidence suggests that local anesthetics have a broad spectrum of effects including inhibition of cell proliferation and induction of apoptosis in neuronal and other types of cells. In this study, we demonstrated that treatment with lidocaine and bupivacaine resulted in decreased cell viability and colony formation of both 8505C and K1 cells in a dose-dependent manner. Lidocaine and bupivacaine induced apoptosis, and necrosis in high concentrations, as determined by flow cytometry. Lidocaine and bupivacaine caused disruption of mitochondrial membrane potential and release of cytochrome c, accompanied by activation of caspase 3 and 7, PARP cleavage, and induction of a higher ratio of Bax/Bcl-2. Based on microarray and pathway analysis, apoptosis is the prominent transcriptional change common to lidocaine and bupivacaine treatment. Furthermore, lidocaine and bupivacaine attenuated extracellular signal-regulated kinase 1/2 (ERK1/2) activity and induced activation of p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) and c-jun N-terminal kinase. Pharmacological inhibitors of MAPK/ERK kinase and p38 MAPK suppressed caspase 3 activation and PARP cleavage. Taken together, our results for the first time demonstrate the cytotoxic effects of local anesthetics on thyroid cancer cells and implicate the MAPK pathways as an important mechanism. Our findings have potential clinical relevance in that the use of local anesthetics may confer previously unrecognized benefits in the management of patients with thyroid cancer.

Abstract
We designed to study the role of mitochondria in astaxanthin-induced apoptosis in hepatocellular carcinoma cells. Effect of astaxanthin on cell proliferation was studied by using methyl thiazolyl tetrazolium (MTT) in three tumor cell lines (CBRH-7919, SHZ-88 and Lewis) and normal human hepatocyte HL-7702 cell. Cell apoptosis rate, changes of mitochondrial morphology, mitochondrial transmembrane potential and electron transport chain were evaluated respectively. Expressions of B cell lymphoma/leukemia-2 (Bcl-2) and Bcl-2 associated X protein (Bax) were detected by Western blot. Results as following, astaxanthin had little effect on HL-7702 cell, however its inhibition was most pronounced in CBRH-7919 cell line with an IC₅₀ of 39 µM. This dose of astaxanthin and CBRH-7919 cell line were chosen for further studies. Astaxanthin could induce cell apoptosis and mitochondrial membrane damage. The mitochondrial transmembrane potential and function of electron transport chain were decreased. The expression of Bcl-2 protein was down-regulated but that of Bax protein was up-regulated. In conclusion, astaxanthin showed anticancer effect by inducing cell apoptosis through the regulation of mitochondrial-dependent manner.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The gastrointestinal mucosa is an important route of entry for microbial pathogens. The immune cells of Peyer's patch (PP) compartments contribute to the active immune response against infection. Although local anesthetics are widely used in clinical practice, it remains unclear whether local anesthetics such as lidocaine affect PP T cell functions. METHODS The aim of this study was to examine if lidocaine has any effects on mouse PP T cell functions. To test this, freshly isolated mouse Peyer's patch T cells were incubated with lidocaine. The effects of lidocaine on concanavalin A-stimulated PP T cell proliferation and cytokine production were assessed. The effect of lidocaine on PP T cell mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) activation was also assessed. RESULTS The results indicate that lidocaine suppresses cell proliferation, cytokine production, and MAPK activation in PP T cells. Furthermore, we found that the chronic in vivo exposure to lidocaine increases bacterial accumulation in PP. CONCLUSION The enhanced immunosuppressive effects of lidocaine on PP T cell functions could contribute to the host's enhanced susceptibility to infection.
