Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW Patients with mast cell disorders frequently experience symptoms from excessive mediator release like histamine and tryptase, ranging from mild flushing to severe anaphylactic responses. Hypersensitivity reactions (HRs) to drugs are a major cause of anaphylaxis in these patients, who often worry about triggering mast cell degranulation when taking medications. The aim of this review is to explore the complex interactions between mast cell disorders and drug HRs, focusing on the clinical challenges of managing these conditions effectively to enhance understanding and guide safer clinical practices. RECENT FINDINGS Among the drugs most commonly associated with hypersensitivity reactions in patients with mast cell disorders are non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, antibiotics, and perioperative agents. Recent studies have highlighted the role of Mas-related G-protein coupled receptor member X2 (MRGPRX2) - a receptor involved in non-immunoglobulin E mediated mast cell degranulation - in exacerbating HRs. Investigations reveal varied drug tolerance among patients, underscoring the need for individual risk assessments. SUMMARY Tailored diagnostic approaches are crucial for confirming drug allergies and assessing tolerance in patients with mastocytosis, preventing unnecessary medication avoidance and ensuring safety before acute situations arise.

Abstract
Fentanyl overdose is a survivable condition that commonly resolves without chronic overt changes in phenotype. While the acute physiological effects of fentanyl overdose, such as opioid-induced respiratory depression (OIRD) and Wooden Chest Syndrome, represent immediate risks of lethality, little is known about longer-term systemic or organ-level impacts for survivors. In this study, we investigated the effects of a single, bolus fentanyl overdose on components of the cardiopulmonary system up to one week post. SKH1 mice were administered subcutaneous fentanyl at the highest non-lethal dose (62 mg/kg), LD10 (110 mg/kg), or LD50 (135 mg/kg), before euthanasia at 40 min, 6 h, 24 h, or 7 d post-exposure. The cerebral cortex, heart, lungs, and plasma were assayed using an immune monitoring 48-plex panel. The results showed significantly dysregulated cytokine, chemokine, and growth factor concentrations compared to time-matched controls, principally in hearts, then lungs and plasma to a lesser extent, for the length of the study, with the cortex largely unaffected. Major significant analytes contributing to variance included eotaxin-1, IL-33, and betacellulin, which were generally downregulated across time. The results of this study suggest that cardiopulmonary toxicity may persist from a single fentanyl overdose and have wide implications for the endurance of the expanding population of survivors.

Abstract
Indocyanine green angiography (ICGA) has been widely employed for quantitative evaluation of the rat comb burn model, but the imaging equipment, imaging protocol, and fluorescence data interpretation of ICGA remain unsatisfactory. This study aims to provide better solutions for the application of ICGA in perfusion analysis. The rat comb burn model was established under a series of different comb contact durations, including 10, 20, 25, 30, 35, and 40 s. Indocyanine green angiography was used to analyze wound perfusion. In total, 16 rats were divided into ibuprofen and control groups for the burn model, and their perfusion was compared. A total of 16 identical models were divided into standard- and high-dose indocyanine green (ICG) groups, and ICGA was conducted to investigate the dynamic change in wound fluorescence. Escharectomy was performed under real-time fluorescence mapping and navigation. The results showed that a comb contact duration of 30 s was optimum for the burn model. Indocyanine green angiography could accurately evaluate the histologically determined depth of thermal injury and wound perfusion in the rat comb model. Digital subtraction of residual fluorescence was necessary for multiple comparisons of perfusion. Dynamic changes in fluorescence and necrotic tissues were observed more clearly by high-dose (0.5 mg/kg) ICG in angiography. In conclusion, perfusion analysis by ICGA can be used to assess the histologically determined depth of thermal injury and the impact of a specific treatment on wound perfusion. Indocyanine green angiography can help to identify necrotic tissue. The above findings and related imaging protocols lay the foundation for future research.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE Pruritus (also known as itch) is defined as an unpleasant and irritating sensation of the skin that provokes an urge to scratch or rub. It is well known that opioid administration can cause pruritus, which is paradoxical as itch and pain share overlapping sensory pathways. Because opioids inhibit pain but can cause itching. Significant progress has been made to improve our understanding of the fundamental neurobiology of itch; however, much remains unknown about the mechanisms of opioid-induced pruritus. The prevention and treatment of opioid-induced pruritus remains a challenge in the field of pain management. The objective of this narrative review is to present and discuss the current body of literature and summarize the current understanding of the mechanisms underlying opioid-induced pruritus, and its relationship to analgesia, and possible treatment options. RESULTS The incidence of opioid-induced pruritus differs with different opioids and routes of administration, and the various mechanisms can be broadly divided into peripheral and central. Especially central mechanisms are intricate, even at the level of the spinal dorsal horn. There is evidence that opioid receptor antagonists and mixed agonist and antagonists, especially μ-opioid antagonists and κ-opioid agonists, are effective in relieving opioid-induced pruritus. Various treatments have been used for opioid-induced pruritus; however, most of them are controversial and have conflicting results. CONCLUSION The use of a multimodal analgesic treatment regimen combined with a mixed antagonist and κ agonists, especially μ-opioid antagonists, and κ-opioid agonists, seems to be the current best treatment modality for the management of opioid-induced pruritus and pain. SIGNIFICANCE Opioids remain the gold standard for the treatment of moderate to severe acute pain as well as cancer pain. It is well known that opioid-induced pruritus often does not respond to regular antipruritic treatment, thereby posing a challenge to clinicians in the field of pain management. We believe that our review makes a significant contribution to the literature, as studies on the mechanisms of opioid-induced pruritus and effective management strategies are crucial for the management of these patients.

Abstract
Mastocytosis is a myeloproliferative neoplasm characterized by abnormal proliferation and activation of clonal mast cells typically bearing the KITD816V mutation. Symptoms manifest due to the release of bioactive mediators and the tissue infiltration by neoplastic mast cells. Mast cell activation symptoms include flushing, pruritus, urticaria, abdominal cramping, diarrhea, wheezing, neuropsychiatric symptoms, and anaphylaxis. Up to 50% of patients with mastocytosis report a history of provoked and unprovoked anaphylaxis, with Hymenoptera venom and drugs the most common culprits. NSAIDs, antibiotics, vaccines, perioperative medications, and radiocontrast media are often empirically avoided without evidence of reactions, depriving patients of needed medications and placing them at risk for unfavorable outcomes. The purpose of this review is to highlight the most common agents responsible for adverse drug reactions in patients with mastocytosis, with a review of current epidemiology, diagnosis, and management of drug hypersensitivity and Hymenoptera venom allergy.

THE JOURNAL OF ALLERGY AND CLINICAL IMMUNOLOGY. GLOBAL 2023; 2:100165.

Abstract
Background Epinephrine delivery via an intranasal spray (neffy) is being evaluated as an additional option to treat severe allergic reaction and may provide clinical benefit by reducing the time to dosing in community settings by avoiding needles. Given that hypotension is a hallmark symptom of severe allergic reactions, a preclinical study was conducted to evaluate the impact of this factor on epinephrine absorption via neffy. Objective The objective of this study was to evaluate the absorption of epinephrine via neffy in a dog model of anaphylaxis with severe hypotension. Methods Epinephrine absorption via neffy was evaluated in anesthetized beagle dogs under both normal conditions and hypotension associated with anaphylaxis. A total of 14 dogs (10 males and 4 females) were dosed with neffy, 1.0 mg, under normal conditions, followed by neffy, 1.0 mg, under conditions of anaphylaxis. Results The mean maximum concentration of epinephrine was higher during anaphylaxis than under normal conditions (2,670 ± 2,150 pg/mL and 1,330 ± 739 pg/mL [P < .05]). Relative to normal conditions, anaphylaxis resulted in higher overall epinephrine exposure (area under the curve from 0 to 45 minutes = 54,400 ± 18,100 min × pg/mL and 34,300 ± 21,500 minutes × pg/mL [P < .05]), which is likely due to the increase in vascular permeability commonly observed during severe allergic reactions. Conclusion Taken together with real-world evidence from nasal naloxone treatment for opioid overdose demonstrating that the reduced blood flow or hypotension associated with overdose does not appear to suppress naloxone's efficacy, the current findings demonstrate that epinephrine is well absorbed following neffy delivery during the hypotension associated with severe anaphylaxis reactions.

Abstract
Patients with mastocytosis have an increased risk for mast cell activation events including anaphylaxis when exposed to certain drugs and Hymenoptera venom. Hypotension and cardiovascular collapse without skin or other systemic manifestations can occur after Hymenoptera stings, during the perioperative period, and after exposure to nonsteroidal ntiinflammatory drugs, opioids, and other mast cell activating medications, including vancomycin and quinolones. This chapter reviews the epidemiology, mechanisms, diagnosis, management, and treatment options for Hymenoptera venom and drug-induced reactions in patients with mastocytosis.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Pain and itch share similar neuronal networks; hence, it is difficult to explain why opioids can relieve pain but provoke itching. The present human volunteer study aimed to investigate the similarities and differences in responses to experimentally provoked pain and itching to explore the underlying fundamental mechanisms. METHODS Twenty-four healthy volunteers were enrolled in this single-center, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, parallel-group trial. Three volar forearms and two mandibular areas were marked, and participants randomly received morphine (20 mg) or identical placebo tablets. Heat, cold, and pressure pain thresholds, and vasomotor responses were assessed at baseline and after oral morphine administration. Itch provocations were induced by intradermal application of 1 % histamine or a topical cowhage (non-histaminergic itch) to a marked area of the skin. The participants were subsequently asked to rate their itching and pain intensities. The assessments were repeated for all marked areas. RESULTS Morphine caused analgesia, as assessed by the significant modulation of cold and pressure pain thresholds (p<0.05). There were no significant differences in histaminergic or non-histaminergic itch or pain intensity between the morphine and placebo groups. Superficial blood perfusion (vasomotor response) following histamine provocation was significantly increased by morphine (p<0.05) in both areas. No correlation was found between the provoked itch intensity and analgesic efficacy in any area or group. CONCLUSIONS Oral administration of morphine caused analgesia without modulating itch intensities but increased neurogenic inflammation in response to histamine, suggesting that different opioid mechanisms in histaminergic and non-histaminergic neurons evoke neurogenic inflammation.

Abstract
Hemorrhage is a leading cause of preventable battlefield and civilian trauma deaths. Ketamine, fentanyl, and morphine are recommended analgesics for use in the prehospital (i.e., field) setting to reduce pain. However, it is unknown whether any of these analgesics reduce hemorrhagic tolerance in humans. We tested the hypothesis that fentanyl (75 µg) and morphine (5 mg), but not ketamine (20 mg), would reduce tolerance to simulated hemorrhage in conscious humans. Each of the three analgesics was evaluated independently among different cohorts of healthy adults in a randomized, crossover (within drug/placebo comparison), placebo-controlled fashion using doses derived from the Tactical Combat Casualty Care Guidelines for Medical Personnel. One minute after an intravenous infusion of the analgesic or placebo (saline), we employed a pre-syncopal limited progressive lower-body negative pressure (LBNP) protocol to determine hemorrhagic tolerance. Hemorrhagic tolerance was quantified as a cumulative stress index (CSI), which is the sum of products of the LBNP and the duration (e.g., [40 mmHg x 3 min] + [50 mmHg x 3 min] …). Compared with ketamine (p = 0.002 post hoc result) and fentanyl (p = 0.02 post hoc result), morphine reduced the CSI (ketamine (n = 30): 99 [73-139], fentanyl (n = 28): 95 [68-130], morphine (n = 30): 62 [35-85]; values expressed as a % of the respective placebo trial's CSI; median [IQR]; Kruskal-Wallis test p = 0.002). Morphine-induced reductions in tolerance to central hypovolemia were not well explained by a prediction model including biological sex, body mass, and age (R2=0.05, p = 0.74). These experimental data demonstrate that morphine reduces tolerance to simulated hemorrhage while fentanyl and ketamine do not affect tolerance. Thus, these laboratory-based data, captured via simulated hemorrhage, suggest that morphine should not be used for a hemorrhaging individual in the prehospital setting.

Abstract
Insights into the pathophysiology of many non-immune-mediated drug reactions referred to as toxicities, sensitivities, intolerances, or pseudoallergies have resulted from research identifying the mastocyte-related G-protein-coupled receptor (GPCR) member X2 (MRGPRX2), a human mast cell receptor mediating adverse reactions without the involvement of antibody priming. Opioid-induced degranulation of mast cells, particularly morphine, provoking release of histamine and other preformed mediators and causing hemodynamic and cutaneous changes seen as flushing, headache and wheal and flare reactions in the skin, is an example of results of MRGPRX2 activation. Opioids including morphine, codeine, dextromethorphan and metazocine as well as endogenous prodynorphin opioid peptides activate MRGPRX2 at concentrations causing mast cell degranulation. Unlike the canonical opioid receptors, MRGPRX2 shows stereochemical recognition preference for dextro rather than levo opioid enantiomers. Opioid analgesic drugs (OADs) display a range of histamine-releasing potencies from the strong releaser morphine to doubtful releasers like hydromorphone and the non-releaser fentanyl. Whether there is a correlation between histamine release by individual OADs, MRGPRX2 activation, and presence or absence of adverse cutaneous effects is not known. To investigate the question, ongoing research with recently pursued methodologies and strategies employing basophil and mast cell tests resulting from MRGPRX2 insights should help to elucidate whether or not an opioid's histamine-releasing potency, and its property of provoking an adverse reaction, are each a reflection of its activation of MRGPRX2.

[PMID: 36654513 DOI: 10.1111/cea.14264] [Citation(s) in RCA: 8] [Impact Index Per Article: 8.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/22/2022] [Revised: 11/12/2022] [Accepted: 11/23/2022] [Indexed: 01/20/2023]
Abstract
The association between Hymenoptera venom-triggered anaphylaxis (HVA) and clonal mast cell-related disorders (cMCD) has been known for decades. However, recent breakthroughs in peripheral blood screening for KIT p.D816V missense variant have revealed the true extent of this clinical association whilst adding to our understanding of the underlying aetiology. Thus, recent large studies highlighted the presence of KIT p.D816V among 18.2% and 23% of patients with severe Hymenoptera venom-triggered anaphylaxis. A significant proportion of those patients have normal serum basal tryptase (BST) levels, with no cutaneous findings such as urticaria pigmentosa or other systemic findings such as organomegaly that would have suggested the presence of cMCD. These findings of an increased prevalence suggest that the impact of cMCD on anaphylaxis could be clinically underestimated and that the leading question for clinicians could be changed from 'how many patients with cMCD have anaphylaxis?' to 'how many patients with anaphylaxis have cMCD?'. The discovery of hereditary α-tryptasemia (HαT)-a genetic trait caused by an increased copy number of the Tryptase Alpha/Beta 1 (TPSAB1) gene-, first described in 2016, is now known to underlie the majority of cases of elevated BST outside of cMCD and chronic kidney disease. HαT is the first common heritable genetic modifier of anaphylaxis described, and it is associated with increased risk for severe HVA (relative risk = 2.0), idiopathic anaphylaxis, and an increased prevalence of anaphylaxis in patients with cMCD, possibly due to the unique activity profile of α/β -tryptase heterotetramers that may potentiate immediate hypersensitivity reaction severity. Our narrative review aims to highlight recent research to have increased our understanding of cMCD and HαT, through recent lessons learned from studying their association with HVA. Additionally, we examined the studies of mast cell-related disorders in food and drug allergy in an effort to determine whether one should also consider cMCD and/or HαT in cases of severe anaphylaxis triggered by food or drugs.

[PMCID: PMC10264870 DOI: 10.1007/s44254-023-00018-2] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/18/2022] [Revised: 03/02/2023] [Accepted: 04/11/2023] [Indexed: 11/13/2023]
Abstract
The list of drugs patients may be exposed to during the perioperative and postoperative periods is potentially extensive. It includes induction agents, neuromuscular blocking drugs (NMBDs), opioids, antibiotics, sugammadex, colloids, local anesthetics, polypeptides, antifibrinolytic agents, heparin and related anticoagulants, blue dyes, chlorhexidine, and a range of other agents depending on several factors related to individual patients’ clinical condition and progress in the postoperative recovery period. To avoid poor or ultrarapid metabolizers to a particular drug (for example tramadol and codeine) or possible adverse drug reactions (ADRs), some drugs may need to be avoided during or after surgery. This will be the case for patients with a history of anaphylaxis or other adverse events/intolerances to a known drug. Other drugs may be ceased for a period before surgery, e.g., anticoagulants that increase the chance of bleeding; diuretics for patients with acute renal failure; antihypertensives relative to kidney injury after major vascular surgery; and serotonergic drugs that together with some opioids may rarely induce serotonin toxicity. Studies of germline variations shown by genotyping and phenotyping to identify a predisposition of genetic factors to ADRs offer an increasingly important approach to individualize drug therapy. Studies of associations of human leukocyte antigen (HLA) genes with some serious delayed immune-mediated reactions are ongoing and variations of drug-metabolizing cytochrome CYP450 enzymes, P-glycoprotein, and catechol-O -methyltransferase show promise for the assessment of ADRs and non-responses to drugs, particularly opioids and other analgesics. Surveys of ADRs from an increasing number of institutions often cover small numbers of patients, are retrospective in nature, fail to clearly identify culprit drugs, and do not adequately distinguish immune-mediated from non-immune-mediated anaphylactoid reactions. From the many surveys undertaken, the large list of agents identified during and after anesthesia and surgery are examined for their ADR involvement. Drugs are classified into those most often involved, (NMBD and antibiotics); drugs that are becoming more frequently implicated, namely antibiotics (particularly teicoplanin), and blue dyes; those becoming less frequently involved; and drugs more rarely involved in perioperative, and postoperative adverse reactions but still important and necessary to keep in mind for the occasional potential sensitive patient. Clinicians should be aware of the similarities between drug-induced true allergic type I IgE/FcεRI- and pseudoallergic MRGPRX2-mediated ADRs, the clinical features of each, and their distinguishing characteristics. Procedures for identifying MRGPRX2 agonists and diagnosing and distinguishing pseudoallergic from allergic reaction mechanisms are discussed.

Abstract
Mast cell activation syndrome (MCAS) includes a group of disorders that result in the inappropriate release of inflammatory mediators from mast cells. These mediators can affect multiple organ systems and lead to significant morbidity, and possible fatality. Although reactions, typically in response to various nonspecific stimuli, are usually mild, they may put those with MCAS at increased risk of anaphylaxis. In this case report, we present two clinical scenarios of MCAS, and identify possible factors triggering mast cell mediator release. We also define a preoperative preventive pathway, outline anesthetic considerations, and discuss the management of immediate hypersensitivity reactions in patients with MCAS. Meticulous preoperative preparation, avoidance of triggers, and development of a plan to treat possible adverse organ responses are paramount of good outcomes.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW To review the blood pressure (BP) effects of pain and analgesic medications and to help interpret BP changes in people suffering from acute or chronic pain. RECENT FINDINGS Acute pain evokes a stress response which prompts a transient BP increase. Chronic pain is associated with impaired regulation of cardiovascular and analgesia systems, which may predispose to persistent BP elevation. Also analgesics may have BP effects, which vary according to the drug class considered. Data on paracetamol are controversial, while multiple studies indicate that non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs may increase BP, with celecoxib showing a lesser impact. Hypotension has been reported with opioid drugs. Among adjuvants, tricyclic antidepressants and serotonin-norepinephrine reuptake inhibitors could be pro-hypertensive due to potentiation of adrenergic transmission. Pain and analgesics may induce a clinically significant BP destabilization. The implications on hypertension incidence and BP control remain unclear and should be explored in future studies.

Low-dose morphine reduces pain perception and blood pressure, but not muscle sympathetic outflow, responses during the cold pressor test. Am J Physiol Heart Circ Physiol 2022; 323:H223-H234. [PMID: 35714174 PMCID: PMC9273278 DOI: 10.1152/ajpheart.00092.2022] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/22/2022] [Revised: 06/13/2022] [Accepted: 06/13/2022] [Indexed: 11/22/2022]
Abstract
Our knowledge about how low-dose (analgesic) morphine affects autonomic cardiovascular regulation is primarily limited to animal experiments. Notably, it is unknown if low-dose morphine affects human autonomic cardiovascular responses during painful stimuli in conscious humans. Therefore, we tested the hypothesis that low-dose morphine reduces perceived pain and subsequent sympathetic and cardiovascular responses in humans during an experimental noxious stimulus. Twenty-nine participants (14 females/15 males; 29 ± 6 yr; 26 ± 4 kg·m-2, means ± SD) completed this randomized, crossover, placebo-controlled trial during two laboratory visits. During each visit, participants completed a cold pressor test (CPT; hand in ∼0.4°C ice bath for 2 min) before and ∼35 min after drug/placebo administration (5 mg iv morphine or saline). We compared pain perception (100 mm visual analog scale), muscle sympathetic nerve activity (MSNA; microneurography; 14 paired recordings), and beat-to-beat blood pressure (BP; photoplethysmography) between trials (at both pre- and postdrug/placebo time points) using paired, two-tailed t tests. Before drug/placebo infusion, perceived pain (P = 0.92), ΔMSNA burst frequency (n = 14, P = 0.21), and Δmean BP (P = 0.39) during the CPT were not different between trials. After the drug/placebo infusion, morphine versus placebo attenuated perceived pain (morphine: 43 ± 20 vs. placebo: 57 ± 24 mm, P < 0.001) and Δmean BP (morphine: 10 ± 7 vs. placebo: 13 ± 8 mmHg, P = 0.003), but not ΔMSNA burst frequency (morphine: 10 ± 11 vs. placebo: 13 ± 11 bursts·min-1, P = 0.12), during the CPT. Reductions in pain perception and Δmean BP were only weakly related (r = 0.34, P = 0.07; postmorphine CPT minus postplacebo CPT). These data provide valuable information regarding how low-dose morphine affects autonomic cardiovascular responses during an experimental painful stimulus.NEW & NOTEWORTHY In this randomized, crossover, placebo-controlled trial, we found that low-dose morphine administration reduced pain perception and blood pressure responses during the cold pressor test via attenuated increases in heart rate and cardiac output. We also determined that muscle sympathetic outflow responses during the cold pressor test seem to be unaffected by low-dose morphine administration. Finally, our exploratory analysis suggests that biological sex does not influence morphine-induced antinociception in healthy adults.

Τhe Effect of Opioid Administration on Cytologic and Histopathologic Diagnosis of Canine Cutaneous Mast Cell Tumors Treated by Surgical Excision. Vet Sci 2022; 9:vetsci9050202. [PMID: 35622730 PMCID: PMC9143400 DOI: 10.3390/vetsci9050202] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/21/2022] [Revised: 04/17/2022] [Accepted: 04/19/2022] [Indexed: 12/04/2022] Open
Abstract
Mast cell tumor (MCT) is a frequent cutaneous tumor in dogs, with a variable biological behavior. Studies correlate cytologic and histopathologic features of MCTs with their biological behavior, prognosis, and response to treatment. The use of preoperative opioids is common in canine patients undergoing surgical removal of these tumors. Certain opioids can induce or downregulate mast cell degranulation and influence cancer progression. The aim of the present study was to investigate whether the administration of morphine or butorphanol during surgical excision of canine cutaneous MCTs affects their cytologic and histopathologic appearance, thus influencing cytologic and histopathologic grading. This was a prospective, blinded, randomized, cohort clinical study. Forty-five dogs with cutaneous MCTs were randomly allocated into three groups according to preanaesthetic medication: dexmedetomidine combined with morphine (group M) or butorphanol (group B) or normal saline (group C). Cytologic specimens and histopathologic samples were obtained both prior to and after surgery. Samples were graded according to Kiupel’s and Patnaik’s systems, examined immunohistochemically for Ki-67 protein (Ki-67) and c-kit proto-oncogene product (KIT) expression, and histochemically for argyrophilic nucleolar organizing regions (AgNORs). Based on both Kiupel’s and Patnaik’s systems, no statistically significant differences were noted concerning the number of cases with grading discrepancies in grades allocated prior to versus after surgery among the groups. The same applied for cytological grading and immunohistochemical and histochemical evaluation. It seems that administration of morphine or butorphanol as part of the preanesthetic medication for surgical removal of canine cutaneous mast cell tumors does not influence histopathologic and cytologic grading of MCTs.

Abstract
Atopic dermatitis (AD) is one of the most common skin diseases, the prevalence of which is especially high among children. Although our understanding about its pathogenesis has substantially grown in recent years, and hence, several novel therapeutic targets have been successfully exploited in the management of the disease, we still lack curative treatments for it. Thus, there is an unmet societal demand to identify further details of its pathogenesis to thereby pave the way for novel therapeutic approaches with favorable side effect profiles. It is commonly accepted that dysfunction of the complex cutaneous barrier plays a central role in the development of AD; therefore, the signaling pathways involved in the regulation of this quite complex process are likely to be involved in the pathogenesis of the disease and can provide novel, promising, yet unexplored therapeutic targets. Thus, in the current review, we aim to summarize the available potentially AD-relevant data regarding one such signaling pathway, namely cutaneous opioidergic signaling.

Abstract
Fentanyl and fentanyl analogues (also called fentalogs) are used as medical prescriptions to treat pain for a long time. Apart from their pharmaceutical applications, they are misused immensely, causing the opioid crisis. Fentanyl and its analogues are produced in clandestine laboratories and sold over dark Web markets to different parts of the world, leading to a rise in the death rate due to drug overdose. This is because the users are unaware of the lethal effects of the newer forms of fentalogs. Unlike other drugs, these fentalogs cannot be detected easily, as very little data are available, and this is one of the major reasons for the risk of life-threatening poisoning or deaths. Hence, rigorous studies of these drugs and their possible metabolites are required. It is also necessary to develop techniques for the detection of minute traces of metabolites in biological fluids. This Review provides an overview of the application of hyphenated chromatographic techniques used to analyze multiple novel fentalogs, using in vivo and in vitro methods. The article focuses on the metabolites formed in phase I and phase II processes in biological specimens obtained in recent cases of drug abuse and overdose deaths that could be useful for the detection and differentiation of multiple fentalogs.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To determine the effects of morphine on histamine release from 2 canine mast cell tumor (MCT) cell lines and on plasma histamine concentrations in dogs with cutaneous MCTs. ANIMALS 10 dogs with cutaneous MCT and 10 dogs with soft tissue sarcoma (STS). PROCEDURES The study consisted of 2 phases. First, 2 canine MCT cell lines were exposed to 3 pharmacologically relevant morphine concentrations, and histamine concentrations were determined by an ELISA. Second, dogs with MCT or STS received 0.5 mg of morphine/kg, IM, before surgery for tumor excision. Clinical signs, respiratory rate, heart rate, arterial blood pressure, rectal temperature, and plasma histamine concentrations were recorded before and 5, 15, 30, and 60 minutes after morphine administration but prior to surgery. Data were compared by use of a 2-way ANOVA with the Sidak multiple comparisons test. RESULTS In the first phase, canine MCT cell lines did not release histamine when exposed to pharmacologically relevant morphine concentrations. In the second phase, no differences were noted for heart rate, arterial blood pressure, and rectal temperature between MCT and STS groups. Plasma histamine concentrations did not significantly differ over time within groups and between groups. CONCLUSIONS AND CLINICAL RELEVANCE No significant changes in histamine concentrations were noted for both in vitro and in vivo study phases, and no hemodynamic changes were noted for the in vivo study phase. These preliminary results suggested that morphine may be used safely in some dogs with MCT.

Abstract
Opioid-induced respiratory depression is potentially life-threatening and often regarded as the main hazard of opioid use. Main cause of death is cardiorespiratory arrest with hypoxia and hypercapnia. Respiratory depression is mediated by opioid μ receptors expressed on respiratory neurons in the CNS. Studies on the major sites in the brainstem mediating respiratory rate suppression, the pre-Bӧtzinger complex and parabrachial complex (including the Kӧlliker Fuse nucleus), have yielded conflicting findings and interpretations but recent investigations involving deletion of μ receptors from neurons have led to greater consensus. Some opioid analgesic drugs are histamine releasers. The range of clinical effects of released histamine include increased cardiac output due to an increase in heart rate, increased force of myocardial contraction, and a dilatatory effect on small blood vessels leading to flushing, decreased vascular resistance and hypotension. Resultant hemodynamic changes do not necessarily relate directly to the concentration of histamine in plasma due to a range of variables including functional differences between mast cells and histamine-induced anaphylactoid reactions may occur less often than commonly believed. Opioid-induced histamine release rarely if ever provokes bronchospasm and histamine released by opioids in normal doses does not lead to anaphylactoid reactions or result in IgE-mediated reactions in normal patients. Hypersensitivities to opioids, mainly some skin reactions and occasional type I hypersensitivities, chiefly anaphylaxis and urticaria, are uncommon. Hypersensitivities to morphine, codeine, heroin, methadone, meperidine, fentanyl, remifentanil, buprenorphine, tramadol, and dextromethorphan are summarized. In 2016, the FDA issued a Drug Safety Communication concerning the association of opioids with serotonin syndrome, a toxicity associated with raised intra-synaptic concentrations of serotonin in the CNS, inhibition of serotonin reuptake, and activation of 5-HT receptors. Opioids may provoke serotonin toxicity especially if administered in conjunction with other serotonergic medications. The increasing use of opioid analgesics and widespread prescribing of antidepressants and psychiatric medicines, indicates the likelihood of an increased incidence of serotonin toxicity in opioid-treated patients.

Abstract
Opioids are a mainstay of treatment for pain worldwide. Pruritus, a common side effect of opioids, is a patient dissatisfier that limits their use in many clinical settings. Both parenteral and neuraxial administration of opioids frequently evoke pruritus. The ability of opioids to suppress pain while causing itch continues to perplex clinicians and researchers alike. Several mechanisms have been proposed to explain how opioids can give rise to pruritus, but specific knowledge gaps perpetuate debate. This review summarizes the clinical burden of opioid-induced pruritus and emphasizes recent discoveries of peripheral and central mechanisms for opioid-induced pruritus, particularly with respect to scientific and conceptual advances in spinal cord circuitry and mast cell biology. The mechanisms and effectiveness of existing medications used for clinical management of pruritus will be evaluated, and we will highlight the emerging preclinical utility of selective κ-opioid receptor agonists, such as nalfurafine, for the management of opioid-induced pruritus.

MRGPRX2 Is the Codeine Receptor of Human Skin Mast Cells: Desensitization through β-Arrestin and Lack of Correlation with the FcεRI Pathway. J Invest Dermatol 2021; 141:1286-1296.e4. [PMID: 33058860 PMCID: PMC8041898 DOI: 10.1016/j.jid.2020.09.017] [Citation(s) in RCA: 38] [Impact Index Per Article: 12.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/01/2020] [Revised: 08/23/2020] [Accepted: 09/17/2020] [Indexed: 12/28/2022]
Abstract
Codeine stimulates skin mast cells and is therefore used in skin tests and as an inducer of experimental itch. MRGPRX2 responds to various drugs, including opioids, to elicit pseudoallergic reactions, but whether it represents the main opiate receptor of skin mast cells remains unknown. By combining a number of approaches, including the silencing of MRGPRX2, we now report that MRGPRX2 is indeed the dominant codeine receptor of dermal mast cells. Activation by codeine displayed profound subject variability and correlated with secretion elicited by compound 48/80 or substance P but not by FcεRI aggregation. Degranulation by codeine was attenuated by stem cell factor, whereas the opposite was found for FcεRI. Compound 48/80 or codeine alone was able to achieve maximum MRGPRX2 activation. MRGPRX2 was rapidly internalized on codeine binding in a β-arrestin-1‒dependent manner. Codeine-triggered β-arrestin activation was also established by the Tango assay. Prestimulation with MRGPRX2 agonists (but not C3a or FcεRI aggregation) resulted in refractoriness to further stimulation by the same or another MRGPRX2 ligand (cross desensitization). This was duplicated in a cell line (RBL-MRGPRX2). Collectively, codeine degranulates skin mast cells through MRGPRX2, at which it acts as a balanced ligand. It has yet to be determined whether codeine-induced refractoriness could be exploited to desensitize MRGPRX2 to prevent severe pseudoallergic reactions.

Abstract
Anaphylaxis is a rapidly evolving, acute, life-threatening reaction that occurs rapidly on contact with a trigger. Anaphylaxis is classically defined as an allergen-driven process that induces specific IgE and the activation of mast cells and basophils through the cross-linking of IgE receptors. However, it is clear that non-IgE-mediated pathways can induce symptoms indistinguishable from those of classic anaphylaxis, and their activation could explain the severity of IgE-mediated anaphylaxis. Indeed, mast cells and basophils can be activated by antibodies against IgE or their receptors, by molecules such as anaphylatoxins, or through G-coupled receptors. Some other allergens can induce antibodies of class IgG that can activate neutrophils to produce a molecule similar to histamine to induce anaphylaxis. Finally, some inflammatory mediators such as bradykinin or prostaglandin can also modulate mast cell and basophil activation as well as directly cause vasodilation and bronchoconstriction, resulting in anaphylaxis-like reactions.

Effect of Meperidine on Equine Blood Histamine, Tryptase, and Immunoglobulin-E Concentrations. Front Vet Sci 2020; 7:584922. [PMID: 33426016 PMCID: PMC7786019 DOI: 10.3389/fvets.2020.584922] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/18/2020] [Accepted: 12/07/2020] [Indexed: 11/29/2022] Open
Abstract
Objectives: To evaluate changes in immunological parameters following subcutaneous (SC) and intramuscular (IM) administration of meperidine in horses through quantitative analysis of plasma tryptase, histamine, and IgE levels. Methods: Six adult horses were enrolled in a prospective randomized crossover design. Horses were administered one treatment per day, with a seven day washout period: (a) meperidine 1 mg/kg IM, saline 6 mL SC; (b) saline 6 mL IM, meperidine 1 mg/kg SC; (c) saline 6 mL SC, saline 6 mL IM. Blood samples were obtained for plasmatic histamine (baseline, 5, 10, 15, 30, and 60 min) via LC-MS/MS and plasmatic tryptase (baseline, 15, 30, 60, 120, and 240 min) quantification with enzyme-linked immunoabsorbent assays. Serum immunoglobulin E (IgE) concentrations prior to any meperidine treatment and 7–14 days following the first meperidine treatment were evaluated with enzyme-linked immunoabsorbent assays. Histamine and tryptase concentrations were evaluated with a mixed-effect analysis of variance. The levels of IgE at baseline (before the administration of the first dose of meperidine) were compared with the IgE values at 60 min following the second meperidine administration with the Paired t test. Biopsies of localized injection site reactions from subcutaneous meperidine administration were collected from two horses. Results: No statistically significant elevations from baseline in histamine (p = 0.595), tryptase (p = 0.836), or IgE (p = 0.844) were found in any of the horses in this study. There were no differences between treatment groups. Administration of SC meperidine caused a localized vasculitis and thrombosis with regional edema and hemorrhage. Conclusion: No evidence of anaphylactoid or anaphylactic type reactions occurred following IM or SC meperidine administration.

Abstract
This paper introduces a new technique combining microdialysis with patch clamp to detect the changes in ATP (adenosine triphosphate) concentration in acupoints during acupuncture. The microdialysis probe was implanted into the Zusanli acupoint (ST 36) of adult SD (Sprague Dawley) rats to sample acupoint fluid containing ATP released during acupuncture. Then, the fluid with ATP was delivered in real time to 293 T cells overexpressing P2X3 receptors, with which we could carry out patch clamp experiments. The results showed that changes in membrane currents could reflect changes in the concentration of ATP. Thus, we can successfully detect ATP released in acupoints during acupuncture in real time. This technique provides us with a new way to study the mechanism of acupuncture signal initiation.

Abstract
Multiple opioids are known to trigger mast cell degranulation. We report the case of a neonate with blistering skin lesions at birth who died of multi-organ failure after administration of morphine. Given the excessive histamine release and potential complications associated with morphine administration, alternative opioids and adjuvants should be considered in infants presenting with evidence of bullous or infiltrative skin lesions until mastocytosis is ruled out.

Abstract
The role of mast cells has been questioned in sickle cell disease (SCD). We performed a prospective study evaluating plasma histamine and tryptase levels in a cohort of paediatric and adult patients, in steady state (n = 132) and during vaso-occlusive crisis (VOC) (n = 121). Histamine level was elevated in 18% of patients in steady state and in 61% during VOC. Median histamine level was significantly higher during VOC than in steady state (24·1 [7·0-45·0] vs 9·6 [6·2-14·4] nmol/l, P < 0·0001). Tryptase level was slightly increased during VOC without reaching pathological values. These results suggest a role of mast cell activation in SCD pathophysiology.

Abstract
Providers caring for patients with mastocytosis are tasked with the decision to consider therapeutic options. This can come with some trepidation because information available in the public domain lists numerous mast cell (MC) activators based on data that do not discriminate between primates, rodents, and MC lines; do not consider dosage; and do not take into account previous exposure and resultant clinical findings. This being said, there is support in the literature for an enhanced MC response in some patients with mastocytosis and in cases in which there is a greater incidence of adverse reactions associated with certain antigens, such as venoms and drugs. Thus this report provides a comprehensive guide for those providers who must decide on therapeutic options in the management of patients with clonal MC disease.

Abstract
Chronic pain is an important health and social problem. Misuse and abuse of opioids in chronic non-cancer pain management seem to be a huge problem, in some countries. This could probably affect the normal use of such analgesics in patients in need of them. Basic and clinical researches should find the solution to mitigate the potential damage. Dysregulation of mast cell and microglia activation plays an important role in the pathogenesis and management of chronic pain. Persistent mast cell activation sensitizes nociceptors and initiates central nervous system inflammatory processes, involving microglial cell activation and sensitization of spinal somatosensory neurons. Exposure of mast cells and microglia to opioids is well known to provoke activation of these non-neuronal immune cell populations, thereby contributing to an exacerbation of pro-inflammatory and pro-nociceptive processes and promoting, over the long-term, opioid-induced hyperalgesia and tolerance. This review is intended to provide the reader with an overview of the role for these non-neuronal cells in opioid-induced chronic pain and tolerance as a consequence of prolonged exposure to these drugs. In addition, we will examine a potential strategy with the aim to modulate opioid-induced over-activation of glia and mast cells, based on endogenous defense mechanisms and fatty acid amide signaling molecules.

Abstract
Pruritus, the most common cutaneous symptom, is widely seen in many skin complaints. It is an uncomfortable feeling on the skin and sometimes impairs patients' quality of life. At present, the specific mechanism of pruritus still remains unclear. Antihistamines, which are usually used to relieve pruritus, ineffectively work in some patients with itching. Recent evidence has suggested that, apart from histamine, many mediators and signaling pathways are involved in the pathogenesis of pruritus. Various therapeutic options for itching correspondingly have been developed. In this review, we summarize the updated pathogenesis and therapeutic strategies for pruritus.

Abstract
Drug hypersensitivity may manifest ranging from milder skin reactions (e.g., maculopapular exanthema and urticaria) to severe systemic reactions, such as anaphylaxis, drug reactions with eosinophilia and systemic symptoms (DRESS)/drug-induced hypersensitivity syndrome (DIHS), or Stevens–Johnson syndrome (SJS)/toxic epidermal necrolysis (TEN). Current pharmacogenomic studies have made important strides in the prevention of some drug hypersensitivity through the identification of relevant genetic variants, particularly for genes encoding drug-metabolizing enzymes and human leukocyte antigens (HLAs). The associations identified by these studies are usually drug, phenotype, and ethnic specific. The drug presentation models that explain how small drug antigens might interact with HLA and T cell receptor (TCR) molecules in drug hypersensitivity include the hapten theory, the p-i concept, the altered peptide repertoire model, and the altered TCR repertoire model. The broad spectrum of clinical manifestations of drug hypersensitivity involving different drugs, as well as the various pathomechanisms involved, makes the diagnosis and management of it more challenging. This review highlights recent advances in our understanding of the predisposing factors, immune mechanisms, pathogenesis, diagnostic tools, and therapeutic approaches for drug hypersensitivity.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW Most cancer patients experience pain and many will require opioids. However, the effects of opioids on cancer progression, metastasis, and recurrence is increasingly being questioned. There is evidence that opioids affect immune system function, angiogenesis, apoptosis, and invasion in a potentially deleterious manner. This review will examine the preclinical and clinical evidence. RECENT FINDINGS Recent clinical data have struggled to find robust evidence that opioids promote cancer progression. Although most study has involved morphine, differential effects of other opioids on immune function and cancer are revealing a more complex picture. SUMMARY Although there is a biologically plausible story, evidence for the action of opioids on cancer is mixed. Indeed, it may even be that in the chronic setting morphine has a beneficial effect on outcome in certain cancer types. This review critically examines and evaluates the evidence for the action of opioids on the processes involved in cancer progression. In the light of the uncertainty of opioid effect on cancer, any decision making should be tempered by knowing that stress and pain undoubtedly contribute to cancer progression.

Toxicol Appl Pharmacol 2018; 338:54-64. [PMID: 29111148 PMCID: PMC9841896 DOI: 10.1016/j.taap.2017.10.017] [Citation(s) in RCA: 11] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/26/2017] [Revised: 10/10/2017] [Accepted: 10/20/2017] [Indexed: 02/06/2023]
Abstract
Mast cell (MC) degranulation has been implicated in the side effect profile of a variety of clinically useful agents. Thus, after intrathecal delivery, formation of space-occupying, meningeally-derived masses may be related to local MC degranulation. We systematically characterized degranulating effects of opioid and nonopioid analgesics on cutaneous flares in the dog and in primary human MC (hMC) cultures. METHODS Dogs were anesthetized with IV propofol and received intradermal (ID) injections (50μL). Flare diameters were measured at 30min. Drugs showing flare responses were tested after intramuscular (IM) cromolyn (10mg/kg), a MC stabilizer. Human primary MCs (human cord blood CD34+/CD45+ cells) were employed and β-hexosaminidase in cell-free supernatants were measured to assess degranulation. RESULTS A significant skin flare for several classes of agents was observed including opioids, ziconotide, ketamine, ST-91, neostigmine, adenosine, bupivacaine, lidocaine, MK-801 and 48/80. Tizanidine, fentanyl, alfentanil, gabapentin and baclofen produced no flare. Flare produced by all ID agents, except adenosine, bupivacaine and lidocaine, was reduced by cromolyn. Naloxone had no effect upon opiate or 48/80 evoked flares. In hMC studies, 48/80 resulted in a concentration-dependent release of β-hexosaminidase. The rank order of drug-induced hMC β-hexosaminidase release was similar to that for flares. CONCLUSIONS A variety of therapeutically useful drugs degranulate MCs. This action may account for side effects such as the intrathecal granuloma resulting from spinally-delivered opioids. This degranulating effect may be useful in predicting potential intrathecal toxicity in the development of novel agents.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Mastocytosis is a chronic hematologic disorder that is characterized by the accumulation of aberrant mast cells and typically involves the skin and/or bone marrow. Patients with mastocytosis are at increased risk of anaphylaxis. Based on theoretical assumptions, medical procedures requiring general anesthesia or radiocontrast media are deemed hazardous for patients with mastocytosis. The objective of this article is to provide a comprehensive overview of the actual risk of iatrogenic anaphylaxis and provide recommendations for daily practice. DATA SOURCES Various scientific search engines were used (eg, PubMed and Medline). STUDY SELECTIONS Because of the paucity of high-level studies on this topic, all available evidence was considered, including case reports. RESULTS Reliable data on the incidence of iatrogenic anaphylaxis in mastocytosis are lacking. However, although the incidence as reported in (retrospective) cohort studies is higher than in the general population, it is still lower than commonly anticipated, with an incidence of 5.4% in 1 study. Adequate premedication and avoidance of certain physical stimuli can further decrease this risk by 10-fold. The role of drugs as elicitors of anaphylaxis is perhaps overestimated, and physical stimuli are at least as important in inducing release of mast cell mediators. CONCLUSION This article provides practical recommendations for the management of invasive procedures in patients with mastocytosis based on current knowledge of this topic.
