[PMID: 38513917 DOI: 10.1016/j.healun.2024.03.006] [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: 01/27/2024] [Revised: 03/09/2024] [Accepted: 03/12/2024] [Indexed: 03/23/2024] Open
Abstract
Ischemia-reperfusion (IR) injury contributes to primary graft dysfunction, a major cause of early mortality after lung transplantation. Transcriptomics uses high-throughput techniques to profile the RNA transcripts within a sample and provides a unique view of the mechanisms underlying various biological processes. This review aims to highlight the applications of transcriptomics in lung IR injury studies, which have thus far revealed inflammatory responses to be the major event activated by IR, identified potential biomarkers and therapeutic targets, and investigated the mechanisms of therapeutic interventions. Ex vivo lung perfusion, together with advanced bioinformatic and transcriptomic techniques, including single-cell RNA-sequencing, microRNA profiling, and multi-omics, continue to expand the capabilities of transcriptomics. In the future, the construction of biospecimen banks and the promotion of international collaborations among clinicians and researchers have the potential to advance our understanding of IR injury and improve the management of lung transplant recipients.

[PMID: 38454201 PMCID: PMC11114182 DOI: 10.5152/thoracrespract.2024.23061] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/25/2023] [Accepted: 12/22/2023] [Indexed: 03/09/2024]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE In this study, the effect of tocilizumab (TCZ) on lung tissue in lung ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) injury in rats was investigated. MATERIAL AND METHODS A total of 24 Wistar rats were divided into 4 equal groups, with 6 rats in each group: Left lung I/R was applied to I/R groups. In the I/R groups, the left lung hilum was clamped for 45 minutes, and then the clamp was removed and reperfused for 120 minutes. In the TCZ groups, 4 mg/kg and 8 mg/kg of TCZ were administered intraperitoneally to the rats 30 minutes before surgery. RESULTS The tumor necrosis factor-alpha mean value was not statistically significant between the groups (P = .091). Statistically significant results were observed between group I/R-TCZ (8 mg/kg) and group I/R for catalase. (P = .005). Statistically significant results were observed between group I/R-TCZ (8 mg/kg) and group I/R for malondialdehyde. (P = .009). The difference in total ischemia score between group I/R-TCZ (4 mg/kg) and group I/R-TCZ (8 mg/kg) and group I/R was statistically significant (P < .001). In terms of alveolar hemorrhage, there was a statistically significant difference between group I/R-TCZ (4 mg/kg) and group I/R-TCZ (8 mg/kg) and group I/R (P = .01 and P = .002, respectively). There was a statistically significant difference between group I/R-TCZ (8 mg/kg) and group I/R in terms of neutrophil accumulation (P = .01). In terms of interstitial edema, there was a statistically significant difference between group I/R-TCZ (4 mg/kg) and group I/R-TCZ (8 mg/kg) and group I/R (P = .006 and P = .001, respectively). In terms of pulmonary edema, there was a statistically significant difference between group I/R-TCZ (4 mg/kg) and group I/R-TCZ (8 mg/kg) and group I/R (P = .01 and P = .009, respectively). CONCLUSION Lung tissue may be affected by I/R injury and this damage can be reversed with the use of TCZ.

New Insights into the Regulatory Role of Ferroptosis in Ankylosing Spondylitis via Consensus Clustering of Ferroptosis-Related Genes and Weighted Gene Co-Expression Network Analysis. Genes (Basel) 2022; 13:genes13081373. [PMID: 36011284 PMCID: PMC9407156 DOI: 10.3390/genes13081373] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/01/2022] [Revised: 07/26/2022] [Accepted: 07/27/2022] [Indexed: 11/25/2022] Open
Abstract
Background: The pathogenesis of ankylosing spondylitis (AS) remains undetermined. Ferroptosis is a newly discovered form of regulated cell death involved in multiple autoimmune diseases. Currently, there are no reports on the connection between ferroptosis and AS. Methods: AS samples from the Gene Expression Omnibus were divided into two subgroups using consensus clustering of ferroptosis-related genes (FRGs). Weighted gene co-expression network analysis (WGCNA) of the intergroup differentially expressed genes (DEGs) and protein–protein interaction (PPI) analysis of the key module were used to screen out hub genes. A multifactor regulatory network was then constructed based on hub genes. Results: The 52 AS patients in dataset GSE73754 were divided into cluster 1 (n = 24) and cluster 2 (n = 28). DEGs were mainly enriched in pathways related to mitochondria, ubiquitin, and neurodegeneration. Candidate hub genes, screened by PPI and WGCNA, were intersected. Subsequently, 12 overlapping genes were identified as definitive hub genes. A multifactor interaction network with 45 nodes and 150 edges was generated, comprising the 12 hub genes and 32 non-coding RNAs. Conclusions: AS can be divided into two subtypes according to FRG expression. Ferroptosis might play a regulatory role in AS. Tailoring treatment according to the ferroptosis status of AS patients can be a promising direction.

The Impact of General Anesthesia on Redox Stability and Epigenetic Inflammation Pathways: Crosstalk on Perioperative Antioxidant Therapy. Cells 2022; 11:cells11121880. [PMID: 35741011 PMCID: PMC9221536 DOI: 10.3390/cells11121880] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/20/2022] [Revised: 05/31/2022] [Accepted: 06/07/2022] [Indexed: 02/07/2023] Open
Abstract
Worldwide, the prevalence of surgery under general anesthesia has significantly increased, both because of modern anesthetic and pain-control techniques and because of better diagnosis and the increased complexity of surgical techniques. Apart from developing new concepts in the surgical field, researchers and clinicians are now working on minimizing the impact of surgical trauma and offering minimal invasive procedures due to the recent discoveries in the field of cellular and molecular mechanisms that have revealed a systemic inflammatory and pro-oxidative impact not only in the perioperative period but also in the long term, contributing to more difficult recovery, increased morbidity and mortality, and a negative financial impact. Detailed molecular and cellular analysis has shown an overproduction of inflammatory and pro-oxidative species, responsible for augmenting the systemic inflammatory status and making postoperative recovery more difficult. Moreover, there are a series of changes in certain epigenetic structures, the most important being the microRNAs. This review describes the most important molecular and cellular mechanisms that impact the surgical patient undergoing general anesthesia, and it presents a series of antioxidant therapies that can reduce systemic inflammation.
