Zhang D, Wu Q, Liu F, Shen T, Dai S. Isoflurane preconditioning attenuates OGD/R-induced cardiomyocyte cytotoxicity by regulating the miR-210/BNIP3 axis. J Appl Toxicol 2024. [PMID: 39032053 DOI: 10.1002/jat.4674] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/24/2024] [Revised: 06/20/2024] [Accepted: 07/09/2024] [Indexed: 07/22/2024]
Abstract
Isoflurane, a commonly used inhaled anesthetic, has been found to have a cardioprotective effect. However, the precise mechanisms have not been fully elucidated. Here, we found that isoflurane preconditioning enhanced OGD/R-induced upregulation of miR-210, a hypoxia-responsive miRNA, in AC16 human myocardial cells. To further test the roles of miR-210 in regulating the effects of isoflurane preconditioning on OGD/R-induced cardiomyocyte injury, AC16 cells were transfected with anti-miR-210 or control anti-miRNA. Results showed that isoflurane preconditioning attenuated OGD/R-induced cardiomyocyte cytotoxicity (as assessed by cell viability, LDH and CK-MB levels), which could be reversed by anti-miR-210. Isoflurane preconditioning also prevented OGD/R-induced increase in apoptotic rate, caspase-3 and caspase-9 activities, and Bax level and decrease in Bcl-2 expression level, while anti-miR-210 blocked these effects. We also found that anti-miR-210 prevented the inhibitory effects of isoflurane preconditioning on OGD/R-induced decrease in adenosine triphosphate content; mitochondrial volume; citrate synthase activity; complex I, II, and IV activities; and p-DRP1 and MFN2 expression. Besides, the expression of BNIP3, a reported direct target of miR-210, was significantly decreased under hypoxia condition and could be regulated by isoflurane preconditioning. In addition, BNIP3 knockdown attenuated the effects of miR-210 silencing on the cytoprotection of isoflurane preconditioning. These findings suggested that isoflurane preconditioning exerted protective effects against OGD/R-induced cardiac cytotoxicity by regulating the miR-210/BNIP3 axis.

Chem Biol Interact 2024; 397:111078. [PMID: 38815668 DOI: 10.1016/j.cbi.2024.111078] [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: 03/26/2024] [Revised: 05/20/2024] [Accepted: 05/27/2024] [Indexed: 06/01/2024]
Abstract
Sevoflurane can attenuate lung ischaemia‒reperfusion injury (LIRI). However, the protective mechanism is unclear. In this study, we developed a LIRI model in vivo that animals (SD, n = 15) were subjected to the administration of 2.2 % sevoflurane 30 min before the onset of left pulmonary artery clamping for 45 min, which was then followed by 60 min of reperfusion treatment. Then, transcriptome sequencing was used to analyse lung tissues. Autophagy inhibition (3-MA) and Rac1-overexpression transfection plasmids were used in BEAS-2B cells, and BEAS-2B cells were subjected to hypoxia reoxygenation (H/R) and sevoflurane treatment. In both animal tissue and cells, inflammatory cytokines and apoptotic and autophagy molecules were measured by quantitative real-time PCR, western blotting and immunostaining. As a result, decreased arterial partial oxygen and damage to the histological structure of lung tissues were observed in LIRI model rats, and these effects were reversed by sevoflurane treatment. Activation of inflammation (elevated IL-1β, IL-6, and TNF-α) and apoptosis (elevated cleaved caspase3/caspase3 and Bax, degraded expression of Bcl2) and inhibition of autophagy (elevated P62, degraded expression of Beclin1 and LC3-II/LC3I) in the model group were ameliorated by sevoflurane. Transcriptome sequencing indicated that the PI3K/Akt pathway regulated by Rac1 plays an important role in LIRI. Furthermore, overexpression of Rac1 in a cell line inhibited the protective effect of sevoflurane in LIRI. Autophagy inhibition (3-MA) also prevented the protective effect of sevoflurane on inflammation and apoptosis. As shown in the present study, sevoflurane enhances autophagy via Rac1/PI3K/AKT signalling to attenuate lung ischaemia‒reperfusion injury.

J Anesth 2024:10.1007/s00540-024-03362-0. [PMID: 38842681 DOI: 10.1007/s00540-024-03362-0] [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: 02/14/2023] [Accepted: 05/31/2024] [Indexed: 06/07/2024]
Abstract
PURPOSE This study was performed to evaluate the changes in oxygen supply-demand balance during induction of general anesthesia using an indirect calorimeter capable of measuring oxygen consumption (VO2) and carbon dioxide production (VCO2). METHODS This study included patients scheduled for surgery in whom remimazolam was administered as a general anesthetic. VO2 and VCO2 were measured at different intervals: upon awakening (T1), 15 min after tracheal intubation (T2), and 1 h after T2 (T3). Oxygen delivery (DO2) was calculated simultaneously with these measurements. VO2 was ascertained using an indirect calorimeter and further calculated using vital signs, among other factors. DO2 was derived from cardiac output and arterial blood gas analysis performed with an arterial pressure-based cardiac output measurement system. RESULTS VO2, VCO2, and DO2 decreased significantly from T1 to T2 and T3 [VO2/body surface area (BSA) (ml/min/m2): T1, 130 (122-146); T2, 107 (83-139); T3, 97 (93-121); p = 0.011], [VCO2/BSA (ml/min/m2): T1, 115 (105-129); T2, 90 (71-107); T3, 81 (69-101); p = 0.011], [DO2/BSA (ml/min/m2): T1, 467 (395-582); T2, 347 (286-392); T3, 382 (238-414); p = 0.0020]. Among the study subjects, a subset exhibited minimal reduction in VCO2. Although the respiratory frequency was titrated on the basis of end-tidal CO2 levels, there was no significant difference between the groups. CONCLUSION General anesthetic induction with remimazolam decreased VO2, VCO2, and DO2.

Abstract
Smoke intoxication is a central event in mass burn incidents, and toxic smoke acts at different levels of the body, blocking breathing and oxygenation. The majority of these patients require early induction of anesthesia to preserve vital functions. We studied the influence of hemoglobin (HMG) and myoglobin (MGB) blockade by hydrochloric acid (HCl) in an interaction model with gaseous anesthetics using molecular docking techniques. In the next part of the study, molecular dynamics (MD) simulations were performed on the top-scoring ligand-receptor complexes to investigate the stability of the ligand-receptor complexes and the interactions between ligands and receptors in more detail. Through docking analysis, we observed that hemoglobin creates more stable complexes with anesthetic gases than myoglobin. Intoxication with gaseous hydrochloric acid produces conformational and binding energy changes of anesthetic gases to the substrate (both the pathway and the binding site), the most significant being recorded in the case of desflurane and sevoflurane, while for halothane and isoflurane, they remain unchanged. According to our theoretical model, the selection of anesthetic agents for patients affected by fire smoke containing hydrochloric acid is critical to ensure optimal anesthetic effects. In this regard, our model suggests that halothane and isoflurane are the most suitable choices for predicting the anesthetic effects in such patients when compared to sevoflurane and desflurane.

Abstract
Mechano-rehabilitation, also known as mechanotherapy, represents the forefront of noninvasive treatment for musculoskeletal (MSK) tissue disorders, encompassing conditions affecting tendons, cartilage, ligaments, and muscles. Recent emphasis has underscored the significance of macrophage presence in the healing of MSK tissues. However, a considerable gap still exists in comprehending how mechanical strains associated with mechanotherapy impact both the naïve and pro-inflammatory macrophage phenotypes within the three-dimensional (3D) tissue matrix, as well as whether the shift in macrophage phenotype is contingent on the mechanical strains inherent to mechanotherapy. In this study, we delineated alterations in mechano-adaptation and polarization of both naive and M1 macrophages within 3D matrices, elucidating their response to varying degrees of mechanical strain exposure (3%, 6%, and 12%). To evaluate macrophage mechano-adaptation and mechano-sensitivity within 3D collagen matrices under mechanical loading, we employed structural techniques (scanning electron microscopy, histology), quantitative morphological measures for phenotypic assessment, and genotypic methods such as quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction. Our data reveal that the response of macrophages to mechanical loading is not only contingent on their specific sub-phenotype but also varies with the amplitude of mechanical strain. Notably, although supra-mechanical loading (12% strain) was requisite to induce a phenotypic shift in naive (M0) macrophages, as little as 3% mechanical strain proved sufficient to prompt phenotypic alterations in pro-inflammatory (M1) macrophages. These findings pave the way for leveraging the macrophage mechanome in customized and targeted applications of mechanical strain within the mechano-therapeutic framework. Considering the prevalence of MSK tissue injuries and their profound societal and economic implications, the development of well-informed and effective clinical mechanotherapy modalities for MSK tissue healing becomes an imperative endeavor. Impact statement Mechanotherapy is a primary noninvasive treatment for musculoskeletal (MSK) tissue injuries, but the effect of mechanical strain on macrophage phenotypes is not fully understood. A recent study found that macrophage response to mechanical loading is both sub-phenotype specific and amplitude-dependent, with even small strains enough to induce phenotypic changes in pro-inflammatory macrophages. These findings could pave the way for using macrophage mechanome in targeted mechanotherapy applications for better MSK tissue healing.

Abstract
In the last few years, the use of anesthetic drugs has been related to effects other than those initially related to their fundamental effect, hypnosis. Halogenated anesthetics, mainly sevoflurane, have been used as a therapeutic tool in patients undergoing cardiac surgery, thanks to the beneficial effect of the cardiac protection they generate. This effect has been described in several research studies. The mechanism by which they produce this effect has been associated with the effects generated by anesthetic preconditioning and postconditioning. The mechanisms by which these effects are induced are directly related to the modulation of oxidative stress and the cellular damage generated by the ischemia/reperfusion procedure through the overexpression of different enzymes, most of them included in the Reperfusion Injury Salvage Kinase (RISK) and the Survivor Activating Factor Enhancement (SAFE) pathways. Mitochondria is the final target of the different routes of pre- and post-anesthetic conditioning, and it is preserved from the damage generated in moments of lack of oxygen and after the recovery of the normal oxygen concentration. The final consequence of this effect has been related to better cardiac function in this type of patient, with less myocardial damage, less need for inotropic drugs to achieve normal myocardial function, and a shorter hospital stay in intensive care units. The mechanisms through which mitochondrial homeostasis is maintained and its relationship with the clinical effect are the basis of our review. From a translational perspective, we provide information regarding mitochondrial physiology and physiopathology in cardiac failure and the role of halogenated anesthetics in modulating oxidative stress and inducing myocardial conditioning.

Abstract
ABSTRACT Coronary heart disease is an affliction that is common and has an adverse effect on patients' quality of life and survival while also raising the risk of intraoperative anesthesia. Mitochondria are the organelles most closely associated with the pathogenesis, development, and prognosis of coronary heart disease. Ion abnormalities, an acidic environment, the production of reactive oxygen species, and other changes during abnormal myocardial metabolism cause the opening of mitochondrial permeability transition pores, which disrupts electron transport, impairs mitochondrial function, and even causes cell death. Differences in reliability and cost-effectiveness between desflurane and other volatile anesthetics are minor, but desflurane has shown better myocardial protective benefits in the surgical management of patients with coronary artery disease. The results of myocardial protection by desflurane are briefly summarized in this review, and biological functions of the mitochondrial permeability transition pore, mitochondrial electron transport chain, reactive oxygen species, adenosine triphosphate-dependent potassium channels, G protein-coupled receptors, and protein kinase C are discussed in relation to the protective mechanism of desflurane. This article also discusses the effects of desflurane on patient hemodynamics, myocardial function, and postoperative parameters during coronary artery bypass grafting. Although there are limited and insufficient clinical investigations, they do highlight the possible advantages of desflurane and offer additional suggestions for patients.

Abstract
Background and Objectives: Cerebral ischemia is one of the major preoperative complications. Dexmedetomidine is a well-known sedative-hypnotic agent that has potential organ-protective effects. We examine the miRNAs associated with preconditioning effects of dexmedetomidine in cerebral ischemia. Materials and Methods: Transient infarcts were induced in mice via reperfusion after temporary occlusion of one side of the middle cerebral artery. A subset of these mice was exposed to dexmedetomidine prior to cerebral infarction and miRNA profiling of the whole brain was performed. We administered dexmedetomidine and miRNA-323-5p mimic/inhibitor to oxygen-glucose deprivation/reoxygenation astrocytes. Additionally, we administered miR-323-5p mimic and inhibitor to mice via intracerebroventricular injection 2 h prior to induction of middle cerebral artery occlusion. Results: The infarct volume was significantly lower in the dexmedetomidine-preconditioned mice. Analysis of brain samples revealed an increased expression of five miRNAs and decreased expression of three miRNAs in the dexmedetomidine-pretreated group. The viability of cells significantly increased and expression of miR-323-5p was attenuated in the dexmedetomidine-treated oxygen-glucose deprivation/reoxygenation groups. Transfection with anti-miR-323-5p contributed to increased astrocyte viability. When miRNA-323-5p was injected intraventricularly, infarct volume was significantly reduced when preconditioned with the miR-323-5p inhibitor compared with mimic and negative control. Conclusions: Dexmedetomidine has a protective effect against transient neuronal ischemia-reperfusion injury and eight specific miRNAs were profiled. Also, miRNA-323-5p downregulation has a cell protective effect under ischemic conditions both in vivo and in vitro. Our findings suggest the potential of the miR-323-5p inhibitor as a therapeutic agent against cerebral infarction.

Abstract
Pharmacological conditioning aims to protect the heart from myocardial ischemia-reperfusion injury (IRI). Despite extensive research in this area, today, a significant gap remains between experimental findings and clinical practice. This review provides an update on recent developments in pharmacological conditioning in the experimental setting and summarizes the clinical evidence of these cardioprotective strategies in the perioperative setting. We start describing the crucial cellular processes during ischemia and reperfusion that drive acute IRI through changes in critical compounds (∆GATP, Na+, Ca2+, pH, glycogen, succinate, glucose-6-phosphate, mitoHKII, acylcarnitines, BH4, and NAD+). These compounds all precipitate common end-effector mechanisms of IRI, such as reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation, Ca2+ overload, and mitochondrial permeability transition pore opening (mPTP). We further discuss novel promising interventions targeting these processes, with emphasis on cardiomyocytes and the endothelium. The limited translatability from basic research to clinical practice is likely due to the lack of comorbidities, comedications, and peri-operative treatments in preclinical animal models, employing only monotherapy/monointervention, and the use of no-flow (always in preclinical models) versus low-flow ischemia (often in humans). Future research should focus on improved matching between preclinical models and clinical reality, and on aligning multitarget therapy with optimized dosing and timing towards the human condition.

Abstract
Recent research has contested the previously accepted paradigm that volatile anaesthetics improve outcomes in cardiac surgery patients when compared to intravenous anaesthesia. In this review we summarise the mechanisms of myocardial ischaemia/reperfusion injury and cardioprotection in cardiac surgery. In addition, we make a comprehensive analysis of evidence comparing outcomes in patients undergoing cardiac surgery under volatile or intravenous anaesthesia, in terms of mortality and morbidity (cardiac, neurological, renal, pulmonary).

Abstract
There are two established techniques of delivering general anaesthesia: propofol-based total intravenous anaesthesia (TIVA) and volatile agent-based inhaled anaesthesia. Both techniques are offered as standard of care and have an established safety track record lasting more than 30 years. However, it is not currently known whether the choice of anaesthetic technique results in a fundamentally different patient experience or affects early, intermediate-term, and longer-term postoperative outcomes. This editorial comments on a recently published study that suggests that inhaled volatile anaesthesia might be associated with fewer postoperative surgical complications than propofol-based TIVA for patients undergoing colorectal cancer surgery. We consider the strengths and limitations of the study, place these findings in the context of the broader evidence, and discuss how the current controversies regarding anaesthetic technique can be resolved, thereby helping to bring precision medicine into the modern practice of perioperative care.

Analysis of Volatile Anesthetic-Induced Organ Protection in Simultaneous Pancreas-Kidney Transplantation. J Clin Med 2022; 11:jcm11123385. [PMID: 35743457 PMCID: PMC9225086 DOI: 10.3390/jcm11123385] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/25/2022] [Revised: 04/26/2022] [Accepted: 06/09/2022] [Indexed: 02/01/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Despite recent advances in surgical procedures and immunosuppressive regimes, early pancreatic graft dysfunction, mainly specified as ischemia-reperfusion injury (IRI)-Remains a common cause of pancreas graft failure with potentially worse outcomes in simultaneous pancreas-kidney transplantation (SPKT). Anesthetic conditioning is a widely described strategy to attenuate IRI and facilitate graft protection. Here, we investigate the effects of different volatile anesthetics (VAs) on early IRI-associated posttransplant clinical outcomes as well as graft function and outcome in SPKT recipients. METHODS Medical data of 105 patients undergoing SPKT between 1998-2018 were retrospectively analyzed and stratified according to the used VAs. The primary study endpoint was the association and effect of VAs on pancreas allograft failure following SPKT; secondary endpoint analyses included "IRI- associated posttransplant clinical outcome" as well as long-term graft function and outcome. Additionally, peak serum levels of C-reactive protein (CRP) and lipase during the first 72 h after SPKT were determined and used as further markers for "pancreatic IRI" and graft injury. Typical clinicopathological characteristics and postoperative outcomes such as early graft outcome and long-term function were analyzed. RESULTS Of the 105 included patients in this study three VAs were used: isoflurane (n = 58 patients; 55%), sevoflurane (n = 22 patients; 21%), and desflurane (n = 25 patients, 24%). Donor and recipient characteristics were comparable between both groups. Early graft loss within 3 months (24% versus 5% versus 8%, p = 0.04) as well as IRI-associated postoperative clinical complications (pancreatitis: 21% versus 5% versus 5%, p = 0.04; vascular thrombosis: 13% versus 0% versus 5%; p = 0.09) occurred more frequently in the Isoflurane group compared with the sevoflurane and desflurane groups. Anesthesia with sevoflurane resulted in the lowest serum peak levels of lipase and CRP during the first 3 days after transplantation, followed by desflurane and isoflurane (p = 0.039 and p = 0.001, respectively). There was no difference with regard to 10-year pancreas graft survival as well as endocrine/metabolic function among all three VA groups. Multivariate analysis revealed the choice of VAs as an independent prognostic factor for graft failure three months after SPKT (HR 0.38, 95%CI: 0.17-0.84; p = 0.029). CONCLUSIONS In our study, sevoflurane and desflurane were associated with significantly increased early graft survival as well as decreased IRI-associated post-transplant clinical outcomes when compared with the isoflurane group and should be the focus of future clinical studies evaluating the positive effects of different VA agents in patients receiving SPKT.

Inhalation anaesthesia compared with total intravenous anaesthesia and postoperative complications in colorectal cancer surgery: an observational registry-based study †.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Postoperative complications are common after colorectal surgery, and possibly related to the type of anaesthesia. We aimed to determine associations between the type of anaesthesia and complications after colorectal cancer surgery using Danish registries. METHODS Patients undergoing colorectal cancer surgery (2004-18) were identified in the Danish Colorectal Cancer Group Database. The cohort was enriched with the Danish Anaesthesia Database and Danish National Prescription Registry data linked by Danish Central Person Registration number. Patients were classified according to type of general anaesthesia: inhalation or TIVA. Confounders were adjusted by propensity score matching. The primary outcome was complications within 30 days postoperatively. Secondarily, we assessed specific medical and surgical complications. RESULTS We identified 22 179 individuals undergoing colorectal cancer surgery with accompanying anaesthesia data. Propensity score matching yielded 8722 individuals per group. After propensity score matching, postoperative complications were seen in 1933 (22.2%) patients undergoing inhalation anaesthesia and in 2199 (25.2%) undergoing TIVA (odds ratio [OR]=0.84; 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.79-0.91). Although no difference was observed for medical complications, 1369 (15.7%) undergoing inhalation anaesthesia had surgical complications compared with 1708 (19.6%) undergoing TIVA (OR=0.76; 95% CI, 0.71-0.83). Rates of wound dehiscence, anastomotic leak, ileus, wound abscess, intra-abdominal abscess, and sepsis were statistically significantly lower in the inhalation anaesthesia group. CONCLUSION In this propensity score-matched registry study, use of inhalation anaesthesia was associated with fewer postoperative complications after colorectal cancer surgery than use of TIVA. Inhalation anaesthesia was associated with fewer complications related to wound healing and surgical infections.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Although extensive reports have demonstrated the neuroprotection of sevoflurane postconditioning in cases of focal and global cerebral ischemia/reperfusion, the underlying mechanisms are not completely elucidated. This study investigated whether this effect is related to endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS) and mediated by the phosphoinositide-3-kinase pathway in a rat model of hemorrhagic shock and resuscitation. METHODS Adult male Sprague Dawley rats were subjected to hemorrhagic shock for 60 minutes and then resuscitation for 30 minutes in experimental groups. Sevoflurane postconditioning was performed at the beginning of resuscitation to completion. At 24 hours after resuscitation, the brain infarct volume was evaluated by 2,3,5-triphenyltetrazolium chloride staining. The neuronal morphological changes and apoptosis were determined by hematoxylin and eosin staining and immunohistochemistry analysis, respectively. The activity of phosphorylated Akt and eNOS was evaluated by Western blot analysis. RESULTS Brain injuries such as the cerebral infarct volume and pathological neuronal changes as well as cell apoptosis were observed in the hippocampus after hemorrhagic shock and resuscitation. Postconditioning with 2.4% sevoflurane significantly attenuated brain injuries. Wortmannin prevented the improvements of neuronal characteristics elicited by sevoflurane postconditioning as well as the hyperactivity of eNOS and phosphorylated Akt. CONCLUSIONS Sevoflurane postconditioning could attenuate brain injury induced by hemorrhagic shock and resuscitation, and this neuroprotective effect may be partly by upregulation of eNOS through the phosphoinositide-3-kinase/Akt signaling pathway.

Abstract
The aim of pharmacological conditioning is to protect the heart against myocardial ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) injury and its consequences. There is extensive literature that reports a multitude of different cardioprotective signaling molecules and mechanisms in diverse experimental protocols. Several pharmacological agents have been evaluated in terms of myocardial I/R injury. While results from experimental studies are immensely encouraging, translation into the clinical setting remains unsatisfactory. This narrative review wants to focus on two aspects: (1) give a comprehensive update on new developments of pharmacological conditioning in the experimental setting concentrating on recent literature of the last two years and (2) briefly summarize clinical evidence of these cardioprotective substances in the perioperative setting highlighting their clinical implications. By directly opposing each pharmacological agent regarding its recent experimental knowledge and most important available clinical data, a clear overview is given demonstrating the remaining gap between basic research and clinical practice. Finally, future perspectives are given on how we might overcome the limited translatability in the field of pharmacological conditioning.

Abstract
Postoperative neurologic complications have a significant effect on morbidity, mortality, and long-term disability in patients undergoing cardiac surgery. The etiology of brain injury in patients undergoing cardiac surgery is multifactorial and remains unclear. There are several perioperative causative factors for neurologic complications, including microembolization, hypoperfusion, and systemic inflammatory response syndrome. Despite technologic advances and the development of new anesthetic drugs, there remains a high rate of postoperative neurologic complications. Moreover, despite the strong evidence that volatile anesthesia exerts cardioprotective effects in patients undergoing cardiac surgery, the neuroprotective effects of volatile agents remain unclear. Several studies have reported an association of using volatile anesthetics with improvement of biochemical markers of brain injury and postoperative neurocognitive function. However, there is a need for additional studies to define the optimal anesthetic drug for protecting the brain in patients undergoing cardiac surgery.

Abstract
Hintergrund Ziel der perioperativen Kardioprotektion ist es, die Auswirkungen eines Ischämie- und Reperfusionsschadens zu minimieren. Aus anästhesiologischer Sicht spielt dieser Aspekt insbesondere in der Herzchirurgie bei Patienten mit Einsatz der Herz-Lungen-Maschine, aber auch allgemein bei längerfristigen hypotensiven Phasen oder perioperativen ischämischen Ereignissen im nichtkardiochirurgischen Setting eine wichtige Rolle. Im Laufe der letzten Jahre konnten diverse pharmakologische sowie nichtpharmakologische Strategien der Kardioprotektion identifiziert werden. Die Ergebnisse von Studien an isoliertem Gewebe sowie von tierexperimentellen In-vivo-Studien sind vielversprechend. Eine Translation dieser kardioprotektiven Strategien in die klinische Praxis ist bislang jedoch nicht gelungen. Große klinische Studien konnten keine signifikante Verbesserung des Outcome der Patienten zeigen. Ziel der Arbeit Dieser Übersichtsartikel gibt einen Überblick über die aktuelle experimentelle Evidenz pharmakologischer und nichtpharmakologischer Kardioprotektion. Außerdem sollen mögliche Gründe für die limitierte Translation diskutiert werden. Schließlich werden Möglichkeiten aufgezeigt, wie der Schritt „from bench to bedside“ in Zukunft doch noch gelingen könnte. Material und Methoden Narrative Übersichtsarbeit. Ergebnisse und Diskussion Trotz der vielversprechenden präklinischen experimentellen Ansätze zum Thema Kardioprotektion besteht nach wie vor eine große Diskrepanz zu den Ergebnissen aus großen klinischen Studien in der perioperativen Phase. Mögliche Gründe für die limitierte Translation könnten insbesondere Komorbiditäten und Komedikationen, die Wahl des Anästhesieverfahrens, aber auch die Wahl des Studiendesigns sein. Eine sorgfältige Studienplanung mit Berücksichtigung der genannten Probleme sowie ein simultaner Einsatz mehrerer kardioprotektiver Strategien mit dem Ziel eines additiven bzw. synergistischen Effekts stellen mögliche Ansätze für die Zukunft dar.

Abstract
Cardioprotection encompasses a variety of strategies protecting the heart against myocardial injury that occurs during and after inadequate blood supply to the heart during myocardial infarction. While restoring reperfusion is crucial for salvaging myocardium from further damage, paradoxically, it itself accounts for additional cell death-a phenomenon named ischemia/reperfusion injury. Therefore, therapeutic strategies are necessary to render the heart protected against myocardial infarction. Ischemic pre- and postconditioning, by short periods of sublethal cardiac ischemia and reperfusion, are still the strongest mechanisms to achieve cardioprotection. However, it is highly impractical and far too invasive for clinical use. Fortunately, it can be mimicked pharmacologically, for example, by volatile anesthetics, noble gases, opioids, propofol, dexmedetomidine, and phosphodiesterase inhibitors. These substances are all routinely used in the clinical setting and seem promising candidates for successful translation of cardioprotection from experimental protocols to clinical trials. This review presents the fundamental mechanisms of conditioning strategies and provides an overview of the most recent and relevant findings on different concepts achieving cardioprotection in the experimental setting, specifically emphasizing pharmacological approaches in the perioperative context.

Abstract
Background: Hepatic dysfunction plays a major role in adverse outcomes in sepsis. Volatile anesthetic agents may protect against organ dysfunction in the setting of critical illness and infection. The goal of this study was to study the impact of Sepsis-inflammation on hepatic subcellular energetics in animals anesthetized with both Propofol (intravenous anesthetic agent and GABA agonist) and Isoflurane (volatile anesthetic i.e., VAA). Methods: Sprague-Dawley rats were anesthetized with Propofol or isoflurane. Rats in each group were randomized to celiotomy and closure (control) or cecal ligation and puncture “CLP” (Sepsis-inflammation) for 8 h. Results: Inflammation led to upregulation in hepatic hypoxia-inducible factor-1 in both groups. Rats anesthetized with isoflurane also exhibited increases in bcl-2, inducible nitric oxide synthase, and heme oxygenase-1(HO-1) during inflammation, whereas rats anesthetized with Propofol did not. In rats anesthetized with isoflurane, decreased mRNA, protein (Complex II, IV, V), and activity levels (Complex II/III,IV,V) were identified for all components of the electron transport chain, leading to a decrease in mitochondrial ATP. In contrast, in rats anesthetized with Propofol, these changes were not identified after exposure to inflammation. RNA-Seq and real-time quantitative PCR (qPCR) expression analysis identified a substantial difference between groups (isoflurane vs. Propofol) in mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) related gene expression following exposure to Sepsis-inflammation. Conclusions: Compared to rats anesthetized with Propofol, those anesthetized with isoflurane exhibit more oxidative stress, decreased oxidative phosphorylation protein expression, and electron transport chain activity and increased expression of organ-protective proteins.

Abstract
Despite improvements in surgical techniques and perioperative care, cardiac surgery still is burdened by relatively high mortality and frequent major postoperative complications, including myocardial dysfunction, pulmonary complications, neurologic injury, and acute kidney injury. Although the surgeon's skills and volume and patient- and procedure-related risk factors play a major role in the success of cardiac surgery, there is growing evidence that also optimizing perioperative care may improve outcomes significantly. The present review focuses on the aspects of perioperative care that are strictly related to the anesthesia regimen, with special reference to volatile anesthetics and neuraxial anesthesia, whose effect on outcome in adult cardiac surgery has been investigated extensively.

The Role of Heme Oxygenase-1 in Remote Ischemic and Anesthetic Organ Conditioning. Antioxidants (Basel) 2019; 8:antiox8090403. [PMID: 31527528 PMCID: PMC6770180 DOI: 10.3390/antiox8090403] [Citation(s) in RCA: 9] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/29/2019] [Revised: 09/12/2019] [Accepted: 09/12/2019] [Indexed: 12/14/2022] Open
Abstract
The cytoprotective effects of the heme oxygenase (HO) pathway are widely acknowledged. These effects are mainly mediated by degradation of free, pro-oxidant heme and the generation of carbon monoxide (CO) and biliverdin. The underlying mechanisms of protection include anti-oxidant, anti-apoptotic, anti-inflammatory and vasodilatory properties. Upregulation of the inducible isoform HO-1 under stress conditions plays a crucial role in preventing or reducing cell damage. Therefore, modulation of the HO-1 system might provide an efficient strategy for organ protection. Pharmacological agents investigated in the context of organ conditioning include clinically used anesthetics and sedatives. A review from Hoetzel and Schmidt from 2010 nicely summarized the effects of anesthetics on HO-1 expression and their role in disease models. They concluded that HO-1 upregulation by anesthetics might prevent or at least reduce organ injury due to harmful stimuli. Due to its clinical safety, anesthetic conditioning might represent an attractive pharmacological tool for HO-1 modulation in patients. Remote ischemic conditioning (RIC), first described in 1993, represents a similar secure option to induce organ protection, especially in its non-invasive form. The efficacy of RIC has been intensively studied herein, including on patients. Studies on the role of RIC in influencing HO-1 expression to induce organ protection are emerging. In the first part of this review, recently published pre-clinical and clinical studies investigating the effects of anesthetics on HO-1 expression patterns, the underlying signaling pathways mediating modulation and its causative role in organ protection are summarized. The second part of this review sums up the effects of RIC.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Inflammation is one of the most significant mechanisms of hepatic ischemia-reperfusion injury (IRI). Sufentanil has a protective effect against liver injury by reducing inflammatory response. In this study, we used a cellular hepatic ischemic/reoxygenated (IR) model to determine whether sufentanil preconditioning protects against hepatic IRI. MATERIAL AND METHODS The human normal liver cells line L-O2 was studied. The levels of glutamic oxaloacetic transaminase (AST), lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), malonaldehyde (MDA), and superoxide dismutase (SOD) were measured using corresponding assay kits. The protein levels of total and phosphorylated ERK1/2, JNK, and p38, and the expression of p65 and COX2 genes, were measured by Western blotting. The levels of inflammatory factors were examined by ELISA. The Cell Counting Kit-8 (CCK-8) was used to determine if the viability of L-O2 cells was affected by sufentanil. The effects of sufentanil on IR-induced cell apoptosis were examined by flow cytometry. RESULTS IR-induced caused L-O2 cells to become rounded and to have a lower adhesive rate than normal cells. The levels of AST, LDH, and MDA were higher but the level of SOD was lower in the IR group than in the control group. The phosphorylated protein levels of ERK1/2, JNK, and p38, along with the expression of p65 and COX2, were upregulated in the IR group compared to the normal group. In addition, a variety of inflammatory factors were secreted in L-O2 cells after IR. The viability of L-O2 cells decreased and cell apoptosis increased significantly after IR treatment. All indexes of cell injury were reversed by sufentanil in a concentration-dependent manner. CONCLUSIONS Sufentanil stimulation triggers downregulation of inflammatory factors such as HIF-1alpha, TNF-alpha, IL-1ß, and IL-6, possibly through suppressing the p38/ERK/JNK/NF-kappaB-p65/COX2 pathways, and thereby reduces the damage to IR hepatic cells.

Abstract
Background Anesthetic pre-conditioning attenuates inflammatory response during ischemia-reperfusion lung injury. The molecular mechanisms to explain it are not fully understood. The aim of our investigation was to analyze the molecular mechanism that explain the anti-inflammatory effects of anesthetic pre-conditioning with sevoflurane focusing on its effects on MAPKs (mitogen-activated protein kinases), NF-κB (nuclear factor kappa beta) pathways, and apoptosis in an experimental lung autotransplant model. Methods Twenty large white pigs undergoing pneumonectomy plus lung autotransplant were divided into two 10-member groups on the basis of the anesthetic received (propofol or sevoflurane). Anesthetic pre-conditioning group received sevoflurane 3% after anesthesia induction and it stopped when one-lung ventilation get started. Control group did not receive sevoflurane in any moment during the whole study period. Intracellular signal-transduction pathways (MAPK family), transcription factor (NF-κB), and apoptosis (caspases 3 and 9) were analyzed during experiment. Results Pigs that received anesthetic pre-conditioning with sevoflurane have shown significant lower values of MAPK-p38, MAPK-P-p38, JNK (c-Jun N-terminal kinases), NF-κB p50 intranuclear, and caspases (p < 0.05) than pigs anesthetized with intravenous propofol. Conclusions Lung protection of anesthetic pre-conditioning with sevoflurane during experimental lung autotransplant is, at least, partially associated with MAPKs and NF κB pathways attenuation, and antiapoptotic effects.

Abstract
The family of vascular endothelial growth factors (VEGFs) are known for their regulation of vascularization. In the brain, VEGFs are important regulators of angiogenesis, neuroprotection and neurogenesis. Dysregulation of VEGFs is involved in a large number of neurodegenerative diseases and acute neurological insults, including stroke. Stroke is the main cause of acquired disabilities, and normally results from an occlusion of a cerebral artery or a hemorrhage, both leading to focal ischemia. Neurons in the ischemic core rapidly undergo necrosis. Cells in the penumbra are exposed to ischemia, but may be rescued if adequate perfusion is restored in time. The neuroprotective and angiogenic effects of VEGFs would theoretically make VEGFs ideal candidates for drug therapy in stroke. However, contradictory to what one might expect, endogenously upregulated levels of VEGF as well as the administration of exogenous VEGF is detrimental in acute stroke. This is probably due to VEGF-mediated blood–brain-barrier breakdown and vascular leakage, leading to edema and increased intracranial pressure as well as neuroinflammation. The key to understanding this Janus face of VEGF function in stroke may lie in the timing; the harmful effect of VEGFs on vessel integrity is transient, as both VEGF preconditioning and increased VEGF after the acute phase has a neuroprotective effect. The present review discusses the multifaceted action of VEGFs in stroke prevention and therapy.
