Abstract
This study aimed to examine the effect of Phosphodiesterase 4 (PDE4) inhibition on Aquaporin-5 (AQP5) and its potential cell signaling pathway in the ovarian ischemia reperfusion (OIR) model. Thirty adult female rats were divided into five groups: Group 1; Control: Sham operation, Group 2; OIR that 3 hour ischemia followed by 3 hour reperfusion, Group 3; OIR + Rolipram 1 mg/kg, Group 4; OIR + Rolipram 3 mg/kg, Group 5; OIR + Rolipram 5 mg/kg. Rolipram was administered intraperitoneally to the rats in groups 3-4 and 5 at determined doses 30 minutes before reperfusion. From ovary tissue; Tumor necrosis factor-a (TNF-α), Cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP), Nuclear factor kappa (NF-κB), Interleukin-6 (IL-6), Phosphodiesterase 4D (PDE4D), Mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) and AQP5 levels were measured by ELISA. We also measured the level of AQP5 in ovary tissue by real-time reverse-transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR). In the OIR groups; TNF-α, NF-κB, IL-6, MAPK inflammatory levels increased, and cAMP and AQP5 levels decreased, which improved with the administration of rolipram doses. Also histopathological results showed damaged ovarian tissue after OIR, while rolipram administration decrased tissue damage in a dose dependent manner. We propose that the protective effect of PDE4 inhibition in OIR may be regulated by AQP5 and its potential cell signaling pathway and may be a new target in OIR therapy. However, clinical studies are needed to appraise these data in humans.

[PMID: 38709282 PMCID: PMC11131991 DOI: 10.18632/aging.205797] [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: 12/13/2023] [Accepted: 04/09/2024] [Indexed: 05/07/2024]
Abstract
BACKGROUND This study combined bioinformatics and experimental verification in a mouse model of intestinal ischemia-reperfusion injury (IRI) to explore the protection mechanism exerted by butyrate against IRI. METHODS GeneCards, Bioinformatics Analysis Tool for Molecular Mechanisms of Traditional Chinese Medicine and GSE190581 were used to explore the relationship between butyrate and IRI and aging. Protein-protein interaction networks involving butyrate and IRI were constructed via the STRING database, with hub gene analysis performed through Cytoscape. Functional enrichment analysis was conducted on intersection genes. A mouse model of IRI was established, followed by direct arterial injection of butyrate. The experiment comprised five groups: normal, sham, model, vehicle, low-dose butyrate, and high-dose butyrate. Intestinal tissue observation was done via transmission electron microscopy (TEM), histological examination via hematoxylin and eosin (H&E) staining, tight junction proteins detection via immunohistochemistry, and Western blot analysis of hub genes. Drug-target interactions were evaluated through molecular docking. RESULTS Butyrate protected against IRI by targeting 458 genes, including HMGB1 and TLR4. Toll-like receptor pathway was implicated. Butyrate improved intestinal IRI by reducing mucosal damage, increasing tight junction proteins, and lowering levels of HMGB1, TLR4, and MyD88. Molecular docking showed strong binding energies between butyrate and HMGB1 (-3.7 kcal/mol) and TLR4 (-3.8 kcal/mol). CONCLUSIONS According to bioinformatics predictions, butyrate mitigates IRI via multiple-target and multiple-channel mechanisms. The extent of IRI can be reduced by butyrate through the inhibition of the HMGB1-TLR4-MyD88 signaling pathway, which is related to senescence.

Attenuation of intestinal ischemia-reperfusion-injury by anesthetics: a potentially protective effect of anesthetic management in experimental studies. Front Pharmacol 2024; 15:1367170.

Abstract
Intestinal ischemia-reperfusion injury (IRI) is a potentially severe clinical syndrome after major surgical procedures. In addition to causing intestinal mucosa injury, intestinal IRI further damages distant organs, causing the severity of the condition in patients. So far, effective therapy for intestinal IRI is still absent, and the survival rate of the patients is low. Previous experimental studies have shown that some anesthetics can alleviate intestinal IRI and protect organs while exerting their pharmacological effects, indicating that reasonable perioperative anesthesia management may provide potential benefits for patients to avoid intestinal IRI. These meaningful findings drive scholars to investigate the mechanism of anesthetics in treating intestinal IRI in-depth to discuss the possible new clinical uses. In the present mini-review, we will introduce the protective effects of different anesthetics in intestinal IRI to help us enrich our knowledge in this area.

Front Pediatr 2023; 11:1092548. [PMID: 37325352 PMCID: PMC10264573 DOI: 10.3389/fped.2023.1092548] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/08/2022] [Accepted: 04/07/2023] [Indexed: 06/17/2023] Open
Abstract
Purpose The aim of this study was to develop and validate a nomogram for predicting surgical intervention in pediatric intussusception after hydrostatic reduction. Methods Children with intussusception who had treated with sonographically guided saline hydrostatic reduction as an initial treatment were enrolled in this study. The enrolled patients were randomly selected for training and validation sets, and the split ratio was 7:3. The medical records of enrolled patients were retrospectively reviewed. The patients were divided into a surgery and a non-surgery group according to the results of the nonsurgical reduction. A model for predicting the risk of surgical treatment was virtualized by the nomogram using logistic regression analysis. Results The training set consisted of 139 patients and the validation set included 74. After logistic regression analysis using training set, duration of symptoms, bloody stools, white blood cells (WBCs), creatine kinase isoenzyme (CK-MB), long-axis diameter, poor prognostic signs by ultrasound and mental state were identified as the independent predictors of surgical intervention for intussusception. A model that incorporated the above independent predictors was developed and presented as a nomogram. The C-index of the nomogram in the validation set was 0.948 (95% CI, 0.888-1.000). The calibration curve demonstrated a good agreement between prediction and observation. The decision curve analysis (DCA) curve showed that the model achieved a net benefit across all threshold probabilities. Conclusion Based on the predictors of duration of symptoms, bloody stools, WBCs, CK-MB, long-axis diameter, poor prognostic signs by ultrasound and mental state, we developed a nomogram for predicting surgical intervention after hydrostatic reduction. This nomogram could be applied directly to facilitate pre-surgery decision for pediatric intussusception.

Int J Mol Sci 2022; 23:ijms232214141.

Abstract
Transient receptor potential vanillic acid 1 (TRPV1) is an ion channel activated by heat and inflammatory factors involved in the development of various types of pain. The P2X7 receptor is in the P2X family and is associated with pain mediated by satellite glial cells. There might be some connection between the P2X7 receptor and TRPV1 in neuropathic pain in diabetic rats. A type 2 diabetic neuropathic pain rat model was induced using high glucose and high-fat diet for 4 weeks and low-dose streptozocin (35 mg/kg) intraperitoneal injection to destroy islet B cells. Male Sprague Dawley rats were administrated by intrathecal injection of P2X7 shRNA and p38 inhibitor, and we recorded abnormal mechanical and thermal pain and nociceptive hyperalgesia. One week later, the dorsal root ganglia from the L4-L6 segment of the spinal cord were harvested for subsequent experiments. We measured pro-inflammatory cytokines, examined the relationship between TRPV1 on neurons and P2X7 receptor on satellite glial cells by measuring protein and transcription levels of P2X7 receptor and TRPV1, and measured protein expression in the PKCε/P38 MAPK/NF-κB signaling pathway after intrathecal injection. P2X7 shRNA and p38 inhibitor relieved hyperalgesia in diabetic neuropathic pain rats and modulated inflammatory factors in vivo. P2X7 shRNA and P38 inhibitors significantly reduced TRPV1 expression by downregulating the PKCε/P38 MAPK/NF-κB signaling pathway and inflammatory factors in dorsal root ganglia. Intrathecal injection of P2X7 shRNA alleviates nociceptive reactions in rats with diabetic neuropathic pain involving TRPV1 via PKCε/P38 MAPK/NF-κB signaling pathway.

Remifentanil Promotes PDIA3 Expression by Activating p38MAPK to Inhibit Intestinal Ischemia/Reperfusion-Induced Oxidative and Endoplasmic Reticulum Stress. Front Cell Dev Biol 2022; 10:818513. [PMID: 35155431 PMCID: PMC8826554 DOI: 10.3389/fcell.2022.818513] [Citation(s) in RCA: 11] [Impact Index Per Article: 5.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/19/2021] [Accepted: 01/06/2022] [Indexed: 11/13/2022] Open
Abstract
Background: Remifentanil protects against intestinal ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury; however, its exact mechanism remains to be elucidated. The objective of this study was to investigate the underlying molecular mechanism of remifentanil in intestinal I/R injury in mice.Methods: We evaluated the intestine-protective effect of remifentanil in adult male mice with 45 min superior mesenteric artery occlusion followed by 4 h reperfusion by determining the following: intestinal Chiu’s scores, diamine oxidase, and intestinal fatty acid binding protein in serum; the apoptotic index, lipid peroxidation product malondialdehyde (MDA), and superoxide dismutase (SOD) activity in the intestinal mucosa; and the intestinal mRNA and protein expressions of Bip, CHOP, caspase-12, and cleaved caspase-3, reflecting endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress. Furthermore, conditional knockout mice, in which the protein disulfide isomerase A3 (PDIA3) gene was deleted from the intestinal epithelium, and SB203580 (a selective p38MAPK inhibitor) were used to determine the role of PDIA3 and p38MAPK in I/R progression and intestinal protection by remifentanil.Results: Our data showed that intestinal I/R induced obvious oxidative stress and endoplasmic reticulum stress–related cell apoptosis, as evidenced by an increase in the intestinal mucosal malondialdehyde, a decrease in the intestinal mucosal SOD, and an increase in the apoptotic index and the mRNA and protein expression of Bip, CHOP, caspase-12, and cleaved caspase-3. Remifentanil significantly improved these changes. Moreover, the deletion of intestinal epithelium PDIA3 blocked the protective effects of remifentanil. SB203580 also abolished the intestinal protection of remifentanil and downregulated the mRNA and protein expression of PDIA3.Conclusion: Remifentanil appears to act via p38MAPK to protect the small intestine from intestinal I/R injury by its PDIA3-mediated antioxidant and anti-ER stress properties.
