[PMID: 36852300 PMCID: PMC9961174 DOI: 10.2147/jir.s396049] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/03/2022] [Accepted: 02/14/2023] [Indexed: 02/22/2023] Open
Abstract
Purpose Neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs) play an important role in ischemia-reperfusion injury (IRI) of the hindlimb. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of recombinant DNase I and sivelestat in eliminating NETs and their effects on IRI limbs. Patients and Methods An air pump was used to apply a pressure of 300 mmHg to the root of the right hindlimb of the rat for 2 h and then deflated to replicate the IRI model. The formation of NETs was determined by the detection of myeloperoxidase (MPO), neutrophil elastase (NE), and histone H3 in the skeletal muscles of the hindlimbs. Animals were administered 2.5 mg/kg bw/d DNase I, 15 or 60 mg/kg bw/d sivelestat by injection into the tail vein or intramuscularly into the ischemic area for 7d. Elimination of NETs, hindlimb perfusion, muscle fibrosis, angiogenesis and motor function were assessed. Results DNase I reduced NETs, attenuated muscle fibrosis, promoted angiogenesis in IRI area and improved limb motor function. Local administration of DNase I improved hindlimb perfusion more than intravenous administration. Sivelestat at a dose of 15 mg/kg bw/d increased perfusion, counteracted skeletal muscle fibrosis, promoted angiogenesis and enhanced motor function. However, sivelestat at a dosage of 60 mg/kg bw/d had an adverse effect on tissue repair, especially when injected locally. Conclusion Both DNase I and moderate doses of sivelestat can eliminate IRI-derived NETs. They improve hindlimb function by improving perfusion and angiogenesis, preventing muscle fibrosis. Appropriate administration mode and dosage is the key to prevent IRI by elimination of NETs. DNase I is more valid when administered topically and sivelestat is more effective when administered intravenously. These results will provide a better strategy for the treatment of IRI in clinical.

Abstract
Necrosis is the main mode of cell death, which leads to multiple clinical conditions affecting hundreds of millions of people worldwide. Its molecular mechanisms are poorly understood, hampering therapeutics development. Here, we identify key proteolytic activities essential for necrosis using various biochemical approaches, enzymatic assays, medicinal chemistry, and siRNA library screening. These findings provide strategies to treat and prevent necrosis, including known medicines used for other indications, siRNAs, and establish a platform for the design of new inhibitory molecules. Indeed, inhibitors of these pathways demonstrated protective activity in vitro and in vivo in animal models of traumatic brain injury, acute myocardial infarction, and drug-induced liver toxicity. Consequently, this study may pave the way for the development of novel therapies for the treatment, inhibition, or prevention of a large number of hitherto untreatable diseases.

Abstract
Stroke remains the leading cause of morbidity and mortality. Stem cell-based therapy offers promising hope for survivors and their families. Despite the clinical translation of stem cell-based therapies in stroke patients for almost two decades, results of these randomized controlled trials are not very optimistic. In these lines, an amalgamation of nanocarriers based drug delivery with stem cells holds great promise in enhancing stroke recovery. In the present study, we treated oxygen-glucose deprivation (OGD) exposed dental pulp stem cells (DPSCs) and mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) with sivelestat-loaded nanostructured lipid carriers (NLCs). Various physicochemical limitations associated with sivelestat drug applications and its recent inefficacy in the clinical trials necessitates the development of novel delivery approaches for sivelestat. Therefore, to improve its efficacy on the survival of DPSCs and MSCs cell types under OGD insult, the current NLCs were formulated and characterized. Resulting NLCs exhibited a hydrodynamic diameter of 160-180 nm by DLS technique and possessed good PDI values of 0.2-0.3. Their shape, size and surface morphology were corroborated with microscopic techniques like TEM, SEM, and AFM. FTIR and UV-Vis techniques confirmed nanocarrier's loading capacity, encapsulation efficiency of sivelestat, and drug release profile. Oxidative stress in DPSCs and MSCs was assessed by DHE and DCFDA staining, and cell viability was assessed by Trypan blue exclusion test and MTT assay. Results indicated that sivelestat-loaded NLCs protected the loss of cell membrane integrity and restored cell morphology. Furthermore, NLCs successfully defended human DPSCs and MSCs against OGD-induced oxidative and inflammatory stress. In conclusion, modulation of oxidative and inflammatory stress by treatment with sivelestat-loaded NLCs in DPSCs and MSCs provides a novel strategy to rescue stem cells during ischemic stroke.

Abstract
Purpose: Sivelestat, a neutrophil elastase inhibitor, attenuates global ischemia-induced myocardial damage and coronary endothelial dysfunction. Here, we investigated whether sivelestat exerts the cardioprotective effects against cardioplegic arrest in rat hearts. Methods: Isolated Langendorff-perfused rat hearts were randomly allocated to three groups and subjected to 2-min infusions with St. Thomas’ Hospital cardioplegic solution No. 2 (STH2) and 30-min global ischemia followed by 60-min reperfusion as follows: (i) control (STH2 treatment only), (ii) sivelestat (19 μmol/L) infusion for the first 10 min of reperfusion, and (iii) sivelestat (19 μmol/L) infusion for 10 min before ischemia and for the first 10 min of reperfusion. Left ventricular developed pressure (LVDP) recovery and troponin T leakage were measured at the end of reperfusion. Coronary flow response to acetylcholine (ACh) was assessed. Results: Single and multiple doses of sivelestat significantly improved LVDP recovery (69 ± 15 and 69 ± 14 vs 48 ± 15 [control]; p <0.05) and decreased troponin T leakage (0.4 ± 0.3 and 0.7 ± 0.5 vs 1.7 ± 0.6 [control]; p <0.05). Multiple doses of sivelestat significantly improved coronary flow response to ACh (121 ± 9 vs 105 ± 4; p <0.05). Conclusions: Addition of sivelestat to STH2 attenuates myocardial injury after cardioplegic arrest in rat hearts. This cardioprotective effect was achieved even when sivelestat was administered during early reperfusion.

Abstract
As reperfusion therapies have become more widely used in acute myocardial infarction patients, ischemia-induced myocardial damage has been markedly reduced, but reperfusion-induced cardiac injury has become increasingly evident. The features of cardiac ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) injury include microvascular perfusion defects, platelet activation and sequential cardiomyocyte death due to additional ischemic events at the reperfusion stage. Microvascular obstruction, defined as a no-reflow phenomenon, determines the infarct zone, myocardial function and peri-operative mortality. Cardiac microvascular endothelial cell injury may occur much earlier and with much greater severity than cardiomyocyte injury. Endothelial cells contain fewer mitochondria than other cardiac cells, and several of the pathological alterations during cardiac microvascular I/R injury involve mitochondria, such as increased mitochondrial reactive oxygen species (mROS) levels and disturbed mitochondrial dynamics. Although mROS are necessary physiological second messengers, high mROS levels induce oxidative stress, endothelial senescence and apoptosis. Mitochondrial dynamics, including fission, fusion and mitophagy, determine the shape, distribution, size and function of mitochondria. These adaptive responses modify extracellular signals and orchestrate intracellular processes such as cell proliferation, migration, metabolism, angiogenesis, permeability transition, adhesive molecule expression, endothelial barrier function and anticoagulation. In this review, we discuss the involvement of mROS and mitochondrial morphofunction in cardiac microvascular I/R injury.

Abstract
Human cardiac stem/progenitor cells (hCPCs) may serve in regenerative medicine to repair the infarcted heart. However, this approach is severely limited by the poor survival of donor cells. Recent studies suggest that the mammalian globin cytoglobin (CYGB) regulates nitric oxide (NO) metabolism and cell death. In the present study, we found that CYGB is expressed in hCPCs. Through molecular approaches aimed at increasing or decreasing CYGB expression in hCPCs, we found that CYGB functions as a pro-survival factor in response to oxidative stress. This was associated with the upregulation of primary antioxidant systems such as peroxiredoxins-1, heme oxygenase-1, and anti-apoptotic factors, including BCL2, BCL-XL, and MCL1. Most significantly, we established that CYGB increased the expression of NFкB-dependent genes including iNOS, and that iNOS-dependent NO production was required for a feedforward loop that maintains CYGB expression. Our study delineates for the first time a role for a globin in regulating hCPC survival and establishes mechanistic insights in the function of CYGB. It provides a rationale for the exploration of the CYGB pathway as a molecular target that can be used to enhance the effectiveness of cardiac stem/progenitor cell therapy for ischemic heart disease.

Abstract
To date, it remains unclear whether mild form of acute pancreatitis (AP) may cause myocardial damage which may be asymptomatic for a long time. Pathogenesis of AP-related cardiac injury may be attributed in part to ROS/RNS overproduction. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the oxidative stress changes in both the pancreas and the heart and to estimate the protective effects of 1-oxyl-2,2,6,6-tetramethyl-4-hydroxypiperidine (tempol) at the early phase of AP. Cerulein-induced AP led to the development of acute edematous pancreatitis with a significant decrease in the level of sulfhydryl (–SH) groups (oxidation marker) both in heart and in pancreatic tissues as well as a substantial increase in plasma creatine kinase isoenzyme (CK-MB) activity (marker of the heart muscle lesion) which confirmed the role of oxidative stress in the pathogenesis of cardiac damage. The tempol treatment significantly reduced the intensity of inflammation and oxidative damage and decreased the morphological evidence of pancreas injury at early AP stages. Moreover, it markedly attenuated AP-induced cardiac damage revealed by normalization of the –SH group levels and CK-MB activity. On the basis of these studies, it is possible to conclude that tempol has a profound protective effect against cardiac and pancreatic damage induced by AP.
