Endothelial ROBO4 suppresses PTGS2/COX-2 expression and inflammatory diseases. Commun Biol 2024; 7:599.

Abstract
Accumulating evidence suggests that endothelial cells can be useful therapeutic targets. One of the potential targets is an endothelial cell-specific protein, Roundabout4 (ROBO4). ROBO4 has been shown to ameliorate multiple diseases in mice, including infectious diseases and sepsis. However, its mechanisms are not fully understood. In this study, using RNA-seq analysis, we found that ROBO4 downregulates prostaglandin-endoperoxide synthase 2 (PTGS2), which encodes cyclooxygenase-2. Mechanistic analysis reveals that ROBO4 interacts with IQ motif-containing GTPase-activating protein 1 (IQGAP1) and TNF receptor-associated factor 7 (TRAF7), a ubiquitin E3 ligase. In this complex, ROBO4 enhances IQGAP1 ubiquitination through TRAF7, inhibits prolonged RAC1 activation, and decreases PTGS2 expression in inflammatory endothelial cells. In addition, Robo4-deficiency in mice exacerbates PTGS2-associated inflammatory diseases, including arthritis, edema, and pain. Thus, we reveal the molecular mechanism by which ROBO4 suppresses the inflammatory response and vascular hyperpermeability, highlighting its potential as a promising therapeutic target for inflammatory diseases.

Zhang W, Zhao Q, Yang G, Han N, Peng C, Chen H. Efficacy and safety of preoperative versus postoperative NSAIDs on pain relief in patients undergoing hip arthroscopy surgery: A multicentre, randomized, controlled trial. J Clin Pharm Ther 2022; 47:2091-2100. [PMID: 36054477 DOI: 10.1111/jcpt.13755] [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: 06/16/2022] [Revised: 07/07/2022] [Accepted: 07/25/2022] [Indexed: 12/24/2022]
Abstract
WHAT IS KNOWN AND OBJECTIVE Postoperative pain relief is a critical issue for hip arthroscopy surgery (HAS). This study aimed to investigate the effect of preemptive non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) for postoperative analgesia in femoroacetabular impingement (FAI) patients receiving HAS. METHODS This multicenter, randomized, controlled study enrolled 204 FAI patients receiving HAS, then assigned them to preoperative (PRE, N = 103) or postoperative (POS, N = 101) group as a 1:1 ratio; the PRE group administrated NSAIDs from 24 h pre-surgery to day 7 (D7) post-surgery, while the POS group administrated NSAIDs from 12 h post-surgery to D7 post-surgery. RESULTS AND DISCUSSION Pain at rest was reduced at D1 (p = 0.016) and D2 (p = 0.023); pain at movement was decreased at D1 (p = 0.002), D2 (p = 0.020), and D3 (p = 0.030) in the PRE group compared with POS group, but not at other time points (all p > 0.05). Patient's satisfaction was increased at D1 (p = 0.013) and D3 (p = 0.029) in the PRE group compared to the POS group, but not at D7 (p = 0.145). Pethidine was less consumed at D3 (p = 0.038) and D7 (p = 0.017) in the PRE group in contrast with the POS group. Harris hip scores were similar at D7 (p = 0.124), month 1 (M1) (p = 0.273), and M3 (p = 0.360) between groups. Adverse events incidence was similar between groups (all p > 0.05). Besides, subgroup analysis discovered that pain was not influenced by the types of NSAID in both groups (all p > 0.05). WHAT IS NEW AND CONCLUSION Starting NSAIDs before HAS provides better short-term pain relief and improves patient's satisfaction compared with its postoperative utilization, while does not induce additional adverse events in FAI patients.
