Plasma Somatostatin Levels Increase during Scoliosis Surgery, but Not Herniated Disc Operations: Results of a Pilot Study. Biomedicines 2023; 11:2154. [PMID: 37626651 PMCID: PMC10452449 DOI: 10.3390/biomedicines11082154] [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: 06/20/2023] [Revised: 07/19/2023] [Accepted: 07/25/2023] [Indexed: 08/27/2023] Open
Abstract
Somatostatin (SST) released from capsaicin-sensitive sensory nerves in response to stimulation exerts systemic anti-inflammatory, analgesic actions. Its elevation correlates with the extent of tissue injury. We measured plasma SST alterations during spine operations (scoliosis and herniated disc) to determine whether its release might be a general protective mechanism during painful conditions. Sampling timepoints were baseline (1), after: soft tissue retraction (2), osteotomy (3), skin closure (4), the following morning (5). Plasma SST-like immunoreactivity (SST-LI) determined by radioimmunoassay was correlated with pain intensity and the correction angle (Cobb angle). In scoliosis surgery, postoperative pain intensity (VAS 2.) 1 day after surgery significantly increased (from 1.44 SEM ± 0.68 to 6.77 SEM ± 0.82, p = 0.0028) and positively correlated with the Cobb angle (p = 0.0235). The baseline Cobb degree negatively correlated (p = 0.0459) with the preoperative SST-LI. The plasma SST-LI significantly increased in fraction 3 compared to the baseline (p < 0.05), and significantly decreased thereafter (p < 0.001). In contrast, in herniated disc operations no SST-LI changes were observed in either group. The VAS decreased after surgery both in the traditional (mean 6.83 to 2.29, p = 0.0005) and microdiscectomy groups (mean 7.22 to 2.11, p = 0.0009). More extensive and destructive scoliosis surgery might cause greater tissue damage with greater pain (inflammation), which results in a significant SST release into the plasma from the sensory nerves. SST is suggested to be involved in an endogenous postoperative analgesic (anti-inflammatory) mechanism.

Commensal microbiota modulates phenotypic characteristics and gene expression in piglet Peyer's patches. Front Physiol 2023; 14:1084332. [PMID: 37035673 PMCID: PMC10073539 DOI: 10.3389/fphys.2023.1084332] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/11/2023] [Accepted: 03/09/2023] [Indexed: 04/11/2023] Open
Abstract
The gastrointestinal tract contains a complex microbial community. Peyer's patches (PPs) play an important role in inducing mucosal immune responses in the gastrointestinal tract. However, little is known about the effect of commensal microbiota on the host's PPs. Here, we analyzed the phenotypic-to-transcriptome changes in the intestine PPs of specific pathogen-free (SPF) and germ-free (GF) piglets (fed in an environment with and without commensal microbiota, respectively) to elucidate the role of commensal microbiota in host intestine mucosal immunity. Analyses of anatomical and histological characteristics showed that commensal microbiota deficiency led to PP hypoplasia, especially regarding B and T cells. A total of 12,444 mRNAs were expressed in 12 libraries; 2,156 and 425 differentially expressed (DE) mRNAs were detected in the jejunal PP (JPP) and ileal PP (IPP), respectively (SPF vs. GF). The shared DE mRNAs of the JPP and IPP were mainly involved in basic physiological and metabolic processes, while the specific DE mRNAs were enriched in regulating immune cells in the JPP and microbial responses and cellular immunity in the IPP. Commensal microbiota significantly modulated the expression of genes related to B-cell functions, including activation, proliferation, differentiation, apoptosis, receptor signaling, germinal center formation, and IgA isotype class switching, particularly in the JPP. TLR4 pathway-related genes were induced in response to microbial colonization and in LPS/SCFA-treated B cells. We also detected 69 and 21 DE lncRNAs in the JPP and IPP, respectively, and four one-to-one lncRNA-mRNA pairs were identified. These findings might represent key regulatory axes for host intestine mucosal immunity development during microbial colonization. Overall, the findings of this study revealed that commensal microbiota modulated phenotypic characteristics and gene expression in the piglet intestine PPs and underscored the importance of early microbial colonization for host mucosal immunity development.

Abstract
The intestinal barrier is a dynamic entity that is organized as a multilayer system and includes various intracellular and extracellular elements. The gut barrier functions in a coordinated manner to impede the passage of antigens, toxins, and microbiome components and simultaneously preserves the balanced development of the epithelial barrier and the immune system and the acquisition of tolerance to dietary antigens and intestinal pathogens.Numerous scientific studies have shown a significant association between gut barrier damage and gastrointestinal and extraintestinal diseases such as inflammatory bowel disease, celiac disease and hepatic fibrosis. Various internal and external factors regulate the intestinal barrier. Gastrointestinal peptides originate from enteroendocrine cells in the luminal digestive tract and are critical gut barrier regulators. Recent studies have demonstrated that gastrointestinal peptides have a therapeutic effect on digestive tract diseases, enhancing epithelial barrier activity and restoring the gut barrier. This review demonstrates the roles and mechanisms of gastrointestinal polypeptides, especially somatostatin (SST) and vasoactive intestinal peptide (VIP), in intestinal barrier regulation.

Abstract
Acute B-lymphocytic leukemia (B-ALL) is associated with a high mortality rate, with no effective treatment strategies available. The identification of diagnostic and prognostic biomarkers of B-ALL can contribute to the development of novel therapeutic methods and drugs, which can improve the survival outcomes of patients with B-ALL. The present study aimed to identify downregulated circular RNAs (circRNAs) in patients with B-ALL. RNA sequencing was performed to construct the circRNA expression profiles in B-ALL cells and normal human lymphoblasts. The Database for Annotation, Visualization and Integrated Discovery was used to perform Gene Ontology enrichment and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes pathway analyses. In addition, reverse transcription-quantitative (RT-q)PCR analysis was performed to detect the expression levels of the downregulated circRNAs. A total of 263 differentially expressed circRNAs were identified, including 76 upregulated and 187 downregulated circRNAs, respectively. The upregulated circRNAs were mainly enriched in ‘macromolecule modification’, ‘protein modification’ and ‘cellular protein modification processes’, while the downregulated circRNAs were mainly enriched in the ‘negative regulation of RNA biosynthetic processes’, ‘natural killer cell-mediated cytotoxicity’ and ‘viral carcinogenesis’. RT-qPCR analysis demonstrated that two of the downregulated circRNAs (hsa_circ_0000745 and chr15:87949594-87966067-), identified during microarray analysis were also significantly downregulated in Ball-1 cells and B-ALL bone marrow samples. Thus, these circRNAs may serve as biomarkers for patients with B-ALL.

Protective Role of Somatostatin in Sepsis-Induced Intestinal Barrier Dysfunction through Inhibiting the Activation of NF- κB Pathway. Gastroenterol Res Pract 2020; 2020:2549486. [PMID: 33376482 PMCID: PMC7746440 DOI: 10.1155/2020/2549486] [Citation(s) in RCA: 10] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/20/2020] [Revised: 11/10/2020] [Accepted: 11/16/2020] [Indexed: 12/14/2022] Open
Abstract
Somatostatin (SST) has a protective role in intestinal injury, inflammatory response, and intestinal mucosal barrier in rats with acute pancreatitis. However, its function in sepsis-induced intestinal barrier dysfunction remains largely unknown. A mouse sepsis model was constructed, and SST was injected into the tail vein. Then, hematoxylin and eosin staining (HE) was used to detect the intestinal barrier dysfunction. Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay was used to detect the level of tumor necrosis factor α- (TNF-) α, interleukin- (IL-) 6, and interleukin- (IL-) 10 in the ileum. Expressions of tight junction proteins, zonula occludens- (ZO-) 1 and Claudin-1, and NF-κB p65 in the ileum were detected using western blot and immunohistochemistry as needed. Furthermore, JSH-23 as an inhibitor of the NF-κB pathway was injected into sepsis mice with SST or not. Mice with sepsis showed an obvious intestinal barrier dysfunction with decreasing specific somatostatin receptor subtype (SSTRs), and increasing TNF-α, IL-6, and IL-10 in the ileum. SST could relieve the injury, the decrease of SSTRs, and the increase of TNF-α and IL-6 induced by sepsis and also further enhanced the expression of IL-10. Further analysis showed that ZO-1 and Claudin-1 were reduced in the ileum by sepsis but enhanced by SST. NF-κB p65 was promoted in the ileum by sepsis but inhibited by SST. Further experiments confirmed that NF-κB inhibitor JSH-23 could repair the intestinal barrier dysfunction and enhance the protective effect of SST on the intestinal barrier. SST, with a protective effect on intestinal barrier dysfunction through suppression of NF-κB, could be a potential therapeutic drug for sepsis-induced intestinal barrier dysfunction.

Abstract
Numerous studies have reported that diabetes is associated with an increased susceptibility to cardiac ischemia- reperfusion injury; however, the mechanism underlying the role of diabetes during intestinal ischemia-reperfusion (IIR) has yet to be elucidated. The present study evaluated the intestinal pathological alterations and possible underlying mechanisms in a mouse model of type 1 diabetes mellitus with IIR. The effects of diabetes were investigated by assessing the histopathology, oxidative stress, inflammatory cytokine levels in intestine tissues and blood plasma, and protein expression levels of phosphatase and tensin homolog-induced putative kinase (PINK1), Parkin and the ratio of light chain 3B (LC3B) II/I. The results demonstrated that diabetes increased the Chiu's intestinal injury score, concentration of interleukin (IL)-1β, IL-6 and tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α, and levels of oxidative stress. Furthermore, the alterations were more pronounced in the diabetes with IIR group. The expression levels of PINK1 and Parkin, as well as the ratio of LC3BII/I, were significantly upregulated in the IIR group compared with the Sham group. Diabetes activated PINK1 and Parkin, and increased the expression of LC3BII. Furthermore, transmission electron microscopy revealed that mitochondrial destruction and the number of autophagosomes was increased in the diabetic groups compared with the non-diabetic groups. Collectively, the results of the present study suggest that diabetes increased intestinal vulnerability to IIR by enhancing inflammation and oxidative stress. Furthermore, IIR was associated with overactivation of mitochondrial autophagy; therefore, the increased vulnerability to IIR-induced intestine damage due to diabetes may be associated with PINK1/Parkin-regulated mitochondrial autophagy.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Severe acute pancreatitis (SAP) is still a big challenge. Accumulated data showed that overexpression of cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) in acute pancreatitis and experimental pancreatitis could be attenuated with COX-2 inhibitors. This study was aimed to evaluate whether the occurrence of SAP could be prevented by selective COX-2 inhibitors. METHODS A total of 190 patients with predicted SAP were randomized into convention group or convention plus COX-2 inhibitors (C+COX-2-Is) group. Besides conventional treatment to all patients in 2 groups, parecoxib (40 mg/d intravenous injection for 3 days) and celecoxib (200 mg oral or tube feeding twice daily for 7 days) were sequentially administrated to the patients in the C+COX-2-Is group. The primary outcome was predefined as the occurrence of SAP. The serum levels of interleukin-6 (IL-6) and tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) for all of the patients were measured. RESULTS The occurrence of SAP in the C+COX-2-Is group was decreased 47.08% compared with the convention group, 21.05% (20/95) vs 39.78% (37/93), P = 0.005. A reduction of late local complications was also shown in the C+COX-2-Is group, 18.95% (18/93) vs 34.41% (32/95), P = 0.016. The serum levels of IL-6 and TNF-α were significantly lower in the C+COX-2-Is group than those in the convention group, P < 0.05. Parecoxib relieved abdominal pain more rapidly and decreased the consumption of meperidine. An incremental reduction of cost for 1% decrease of SAP occurrence was RMB475. DISCUSSION Sequential administration of parecoxib and celecoxib in patients with predicted SAP obtained about half-reduction of SAP occurrence through decreasing serum levels of TNF-α and IL-6. This regimen presented good cost-effectiveness.

Abstract
The intestinal epithelium must balance efficient absorption of nutrients with partitioning commensals and pathogens from the bodies' largest immune system. If this crucial barrier fails, inappropriate immune responses can result in inflammatory bowel disease or chronic infection. Enteroendocrine cells represent 1% of this epithelium and have classically been studied for their detection of nutrients and release of peptide hormones to mediate digestion. Intriguingly, enteroendocrine cells are the key sensors of microbial metabolites, can release cytokines in response to pathogen associated molecules and peptide hormone receptors are expressed on numerous intestinal immune cells; thus enteroendocrine cells are uniquely equipped to be crucial and novel orchestrators of intestinal inflammation. In this review, we introduce enteroendocrine chemosensory roles, summarize studies correlating enteroendocrine perturbations with intestinal inflammation and describe the mechanistic interactions by which enteroendocrine and mucosal immune cells interact during disease; highlighting this immunoendocrine axis as a key aspect of innate immunity.
