[PMID: 39135955 PMCID: PMC11318589 DOI: 10.7717/peerj.17775] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/21/2023] [Accepted: 06/28/2024] [Indexed: 08/15/2024] Open
Abstract
Background Perioperative neurocognitive disorders (PND) refer to neurocognitive abnormalities during perioperative period, which are a great challenge for elderly patients and associated with increased morbidity and mortality. Our studies showed that long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) regulate mitochondrial function and aging-related pathologies in the aged hippocampus after anesthesia, and lncRNAs are associated with multiple neurodegenerations. However, the regulatory role of lncRNAs in PND-related pathological processes remains unclear. Methods A total of 18-month mice were assigned to control and surgery (PND) groups, mice in PND group received sevoflurane anesthesia and laparotomy. Cognitive function was assessed with fear conditioning test. Hippocampal RNAs were isolated for sequencing, lncRNA and microRNA libraries were constructed, mRNAs were identified, Gene Ontology (GO) analysis were performed, and lncRNA-microRNA-mRNA networks were established. qPCR was performed for gene expression verification. Results A total of 312 differentially expressed (DE) lncRNAs, 340 DE-Transcripts of Uncertain Coding Potential (TUCPs), and 2,003 DEmRNAs were identified in the hippocampus between groups. The lncRNA-microRNA-mRNA competing endogenous RNA (ceRNA) network was constructed with 29 DElncRNAs, 90 microRNAs, 493 DEmRNAs, 148 lncRNA-microRNA interaction pairs, 794 microRNA-mRNA interaction pairs, and 110 lncRNA-mRNA co-expression pairs. 795 GO terms were obtained. Based on the frequencies of involved pathological processes, BP terms were divided into eight categories: neurological system alternation, neuronal development, metabolism alternation, immunity and neuroinflammation, apoptosis and autophagy, cellular communication, molecular modification, and behavior changes. LncRNA-microRNA-mRNA ceRNA networks in these pathological categories were constructed, and involved pathways and targeted genes were revealed. The top relevant lncRNAs in these ceRNA networks included RP23-65G6.4, RP24-396L14.1, RP23-251I16.2, XLOC_113622, RP24-496E14.1, etc., and the top relevant mRNAs in these ceRNA networks included Dlg4 (synaptic function), Avp (lipophagy), Islr2 (synaptic function), Hcrt (regulation of awake behavior), Tnc (neurotransmitter uptake). Conclusion In summary, we have constructed the lncRNA-associated ceRNA network during PND development in mice, explored the role of lncRNAs in multiple pathological processes in the mouse hippocampus, and provided insights into the potential mechanisms and therapeutic gene targets for PND.

Abstract
Mitochondrial dysfunction plays a pivotal role in the development of age-related diseases, particularly neurodegenerative disorders. The etiology of mitochondrial dysfunction involves a multitude of factors that remain elusive. This review centers on elucidating the role(s) of excitotoxicity, oxytosis/ferroptosis and neurodegeneration within the context of mitochondrial bioenergetics, biogenesis, mitophagy and oxidative stress and explores their intricate interplay in the pathogenesis of neurodegenerative diseases. The effective coordination of mitochondrial turnover processes, notably mitophagy and biogenesis, is assumed to be critically important for cellular resilience and longevity. However, the age-associated decrease in mitophagy impedes the elimination of dysfunctional mitochondria, consequently impairing mitochondrial biogenesis. This deleterious cascade results in the accumulation of damaged mitochondria and deterioration of cellular functions. Both excitotoxicity and oxytosis/ferroptosis have been demonstrated to contribute significantly to the pathophysiology of neurodegenerative diseases, including Alzheimer's disease (AD), Parkinson's disease (PD), Huntington's Disease (HD), Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) and Multiple Sclerosis (MS). Excitotoxicity, characterized by excessive glutamate signaling, initiates a cascade of events involving calcium dysregulation, energy depletion, and oxidative stress and is intricately linked to mitochondrial dysfunction. Furthermore, emerging concepts surrounding oxytosis/ferroptosis underscore the importance of iron-dependent lipid peroxidation and mitochondrial engagement in the pathogenesis of neurodegeneration. This review not only discusses the individual contributions of excitotoxicity and ferroptosis but also emphasizes their convergence with mitochondrial dysfunction, a key driver of neurodegenerative diseases. Understanding the intricate crosstalk between excitotoxicity, oxytosis/ferroptosis, and mitochondrial dysfunction holds potential to pave the way for mitochondrion-targeted therapeutic strategies. Such strategies, with a focus on bioenergetics, biogenesis, mitophagy, and oxidative stress, emerge as promising avenues for therapeutic intervention.

Abstract
Anesthetic-induced developmental neurotoxicity (AIDN) can arise due to various factors, among which aberrant nerve cell death is a prominent risk factor. Animal studies have reported that repeated or prolonged anesthetic exposure can cause significant neuroapoptosis in the developing brain. Lately, non-apoptotic programmed cell deaths (PCDs), characterized by inflammation and oxidative stress, have gained increasing attention. Substantial evidence suggests that non-apoptotic PCDs are essential for neuronal cell death in AIDN compared to apoptosis. This article examines relevant publications in the PubMed database until April 2024. Only original articles in English that investigated the potential manifestations of non-apoptotic PCD in AIDN were analysed. Specifically, it investigates necroptosis, pyroptosis, ferroptosis, and parthanatos, elucidating the signaling mechanisms associated with each form. Furthermore, this study explores the potential relevance of these non-apoptotic PCDs pathways to the pathological mechanisms underlying AIDN, drawing upon their distinctive characteristics. Despite the considerable challenges involved in translating fundamental scientific knowledge into clinical therapeutic interventions, this comprehensive review offers a theoretical foundation for developing innovative preventive and treatment strategies targeting non-apoptotic PCDs in the context of AIDN.

[PMID: 38928480 PMCID: PMC11204258 DOI: 10.3390/ijms25126774] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/25/2024] [Revised: 06/10/2024] [Accepted: 06/18/2024] [Indexed: 06/28/2024] Open
Abstract
Our study aimed to investigate the role of ferroptosis in sevoflurane-induced hearing impairment and explore the mechanism of the microRNA-182-5p (miR-182-5p)/Glutathione Peroxidase 4 (GPX4) pathway in sevoflurane-induced ototoxicity. Immunofluorescence staining was performed using myosin 7a and CtBP2. Cell viability was assessed using the CCK-8 kit. Fe2+ concentration was measured using FerroOrange and Mi-to-FerroGreen fluorescent probes. The lipid peroxide level was assessed using BODIPY 581/591 C11 and MitoSOX fluorescent probes. The auditory brainstem response (ABR) test was conducted to evaluate the hearing status. Bioinformatics tools and dual luciferase gene reporter analysis were used to confirm the direct targeting of miR-182-5p on GPX4 mRNA. GPX4 and miR-182-5p expression in cells was assessed by qRT-PCR and Western blot. Ferrostatin-1 (Fer-1) pretreatment significantly improved hearing impairment and damage to ribbon synapses in mice caused by sevoflurane exposure. Immunofluorescence staining revealed that Fer-1 pretreatment reduced intracellular and mitochondrial iron overload, as well as lipid peroxide accumulation. Our findings indicated that miR-182-5p was upregulated in sevoflurane-exposed HEI-OC1 cells, and miR-182-5p regulated GPX4 expression by binding to the 3'UTR of GPX4 mRNA. The inhibition of miR-182-5p attenuated sevoflurane-induced iron overload and lipid peroxide accumulation. Our study elucidated that the miR-182-5p/GPX4 pathway was implicated in sevoflurane-induced ototoxicity by promoting ferroptosis.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Mitochondrial Ts translation elongation factor (TSFM) is an enzyme that catalyzes exchange of guanine nucleotides. By forming a complex with mitochondrial Tu translation elongation factor (TUFM), TSFM participates in mitochondrial protein translation. We have previously reported that TUFM regulates translation of beta-site APP cleaving enzyme 1 (BACE1) via ROS (reactive oxygen species)-dependent mechanism, suggesting a potential role in amyloid precursor protein (APP) processing associated with Alzheimer's disease (AD), which led to the speculation that TSFM may regulate APP processing in a similar way to TUFM. METHODS AND RESULTS Here, we report that in cultured cells, knockdown or overexpression TSFM did not change protein levels in BACE1 and APP. Besides, the levels of cytoplasmic ROS and mitochondrial superoxide, in addition to ATP level, cell viability and mitochondrial membrane potential were not significantly altered by TSFM knockdown in the short term. Further transcriptome analysis revealed that expression of majority of mitochondrial genes were not remarkably changed by TSFM silencing. The possibility of TSFM involved in cardiomyopathy and cancer development was uncovered using bioinformatics analysis. CONCLUSIONS Collectively, short-term regulation of TSFM level in cultured cells does not cause a significant change in proteins involved in APP processing, levels in ROS and ATP associated with mitochondrial function. Whereas our study could contribute to comprehend certain clinical features of TSFM mutations, the roles of TSFM in cardiomyopathy and cancer development might deserve further investigation.

Sevoflurane Exposure Induces Neuronal Cell Ferroptosis Initiated by Increase of Intracellular Hydrogen Peroxide in the Developing Brain via ER Stress ATF3 Activation. Mol Neurobiol 2024; 61:2313-2335.

Abstract
Neuronal cell death is acknowledged as the primary pathological basis underlying developmental neurotoxicity in response to sevoflurane exposure, but the exact mechanism remains unclear. Ferroptosis is a form of programmed cell death characterized by iron-dependent lipid peroxidation that is driven by hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) and ferrous iron through the Fenton reaction and participates in the pathogenesis of multiple neurological diseases. As stress response factor, activating transcription factor 3 (ATF3) can be activated by the PERK/ATF4 pathway during endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress, followed by increased intracellular H2O2, which is involved in regulation of apoptosis, autophagy, and ferroptosis. Here, we investigated whether ferroptosis and ATF3 activation were implicated in sevoflurane-induced neuronal cell death in the developing brain. The results showed that sevoflurane exposure induced neuronal death as a result of iron-dependent lipid peroxidation damage secondary to H2O2 accumulation and ferrous iron increase, which was consistent with the criteria for ferroptosis. Furthermore, we observed that increases in iron and H2O2 induced by sevoflurane exposure were associated with the upregulation and nuclear translocation of ATF3 in response to ER stress. Knockdown of ATF3 expression alleviated iron-dependent lipid peroxidation, which prevented sevoflurane-induced neuronal ferroptosis. Mechanistically, ATF3 promoted sevoflurane-induced H2O2 accumulation by activating NOX4 and suppressing catalase, GPX4, and SLC7A11 expression. Additionally, an increase in H2O2 was accompanied by the upregulation of TFR and TF and downregulation of FPN, which linked iron overload to ferroptosis induced by sevoflurane. Taken together, our results demonstrated that ER stress-mediated ATF3 activation contributed to sevoflurane-induced neuronal ferroptosis via H2O2 accumulation and the resultant iron overload.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To identify hub genes and biological processes of propofol-induced neurotoxicity and promote the development of pediatric anesthesiology. METHODS We downloaded the GSE106799 dataset from the Gene Expression Omnibus database. Differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were screened, then Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes, Gene Ontology and Gene Set Enrichment analyses were performed on all DEGs. We identified potential ferroptosis genes in the pathogenesis of propofol-induced neurotoxicity. A key module was obtained after performing weighted gene co-expression network analysis (WGCNA) on the GSE106799 dataset. Hub genes were identified after the least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO) regression analysis of the intersection of DEGs and genes from the key module. We established a competing endogenous RNA network and predicted potential drugs according to the hub genes. Total RNA and proteins were extracted for real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction and Western blotting, respectively. RESULTS A total of 112 DEGs, including 76 upregulated and 36 downregulated ones were screened out. Propofol-induced neurotoxicity involved processes such as nervous system development, activation of JAK/STAT and MAPK signaling pathways, vascular regeneration, and oxidative stress. The results of WGCNA suggested that the tan module was the most strongly associated with propofol-induced neurotoxicity. We identified 4 hub genes (EGR4, HAO1, ITK and GM14446) after LASSO regression analysis. Animal experiments demonstrated that propofol caused overexpression of the protein levels of HAO1, ITK and inflammatory factors in the brain, as well as the mRNA levels of HAO1, ITK and GM14446. Propofol inhibited expression of EGR4 at mRNA and protein levels. CONCLUSIONS Previous studies have demonstrated that EGR4, HAO1, ITK and GM14446 play a role in intellectual development, neuroinflammation and neuronal differentiation. These hub genes may help us to find new preventive and therapeutic targets for propofol-induced neurotoxicity.

Abstract
Surgery and anesthesia are vital medical interventions, but concerns over their potential cognitive side effects, particularly with the use of inhalational anesthetics like sevoflurane, have surfaced. This study delves into the neuroprotective potential of Echinatin against sevoflurane-induced neurotoxicity and the underlying mechanisms. Echinatin, a natural compound, has exhibited anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and anticancer properties. Sevoflurane, while a popular anesthetic, is associated with perioperative neurocognitive disorders (PND) and neurotoxicity. Our investigation began with cellular models, where Echinatin demonstrated a significant reduction in sevoflurane-induced apoptosis. Mechanistically, we identified ferroptosis, a novel form of programmed cell death characterized by iron accumulation and lipid peroxidation, as a key player in sevoflurane-induced neuronal injury. Echinatin notably suppressed ferroptosis in sevoflurane-exposed cells, suggesting a pivotal role in neuroprotection. Expanding our research to a murine model, we observed perturbations in iron homeostasis, inflammatory cytokines, and antioxidants due to sevoflurane exposure. Echinatin treatment effectively restored iron balance, mitigated inflammation, and preserved antioxidant levels in vivo. Behavioral assessments using the Morris water maze further confirmed Echinatin's neuroprotective potential, as it ameliorated sevoflurane-induced spatial learning and memory impairments. In conclusion, our study unveils Echinatin as a promising candidate for mitigating sevoflurane-induced neurotoxicity. Through the regulation of ferroptosis, iron homeostasis, and inflammation, Echinatin demonstrates significant neuroprotection both in vitro and in vivo. These findings illuminate the potential for Echinatin to enhance the safety of surgical procedures involving sevoflurane anesthesia, minimizing the risk of cognitive deficits and neurotoxicity.

[PMID: 38055149 DOI: 10.1007/s11064-023-04060-1] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/09/2023] [Revised: 10/28/2023] [Accepted: 10/31/2023] [Indexed: 12/07/2023]
Abstract
Isoflurane, a widely used inhalation anesthetic in clinical practice, is associated with an increased risk of neuronal injury. Heat shock protein 90 (HSP90) plays a crucial role in maintaining neuronal homeostasis under stress conditions; however, its role during isoflurane exposure remains poorly understood. In this study, we aimed to investigate the protective effects of HSP90 inhibition and explore the regulatory mechanisms underlying these effects during isoflurane exposure. We found that the HSP90 inhibitor 17-N-allylamino-17-demethoxygeldanamycin (17 AAG) has great protective effects in mitigating isoflurane-induced ferroptosis of mouse hippocampus and cultured neuronal cells. We focused on the activity of the crucial protein GPX4 in ferroptosis and found that 17 AAG exerted protective effects, preserving the physiological GPX4 activity under isoflurane exposure; further, 17 AAG restored the protein level of GPX4. Further, we observed that the chaperone-mediated autophagy (CMA) pathway was activated; 17 AAG also mediated GPX4 degradation under isoflurane exposure. Additionally, it interfered with the formation of complexes between HSP90 and Lamp-2a, inhibiting CMA activity, followed by the blockade of GPX4 degradation, further affecting the isoflurane-induced ferroptosis. Based on these findings, we proposed HSP90 inhibition as a protective mechanism against isoflurane-induced ferroptosis in neurons.

Dysregulation of iron homeostasis and ferroptosis in sevoflurane and isoflurane associated perioperative neurocognitive disorders. CNS Neurosci Ther 2024; 30:e14553. [PMID: 38334231 PMCID: PMC10853900 DOI: 10.1111/cns.14553] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/19/2023] [Revised: 11/06/2023] [Accepted: 11/22/2023] [Indexed: 02/10/2024] Open
Abstract
In recent years, sevoflurane and isoflurane are the most popular anesthetics in general anesthesia for their safe, rapid onset, and well tolerant. Nevertheless, many studies reported their neurotoxicity among pediatric and aged populations. This effect is usually manifested as cognitive impairment such as perioperative neurocognitive disorders. The wide application of sevoflurane and isoflurane during general anesthesia makes their safety a major health concern. Evidence indicates that iron dyshomeostasis and ferroptosis may establish a role in neurotoxicity of sevoflurane and isoflurane. However, the mechanisms of sevoflurane- and isoflurane-induced neuronal injury were not fully understood, which poses a barrier to the treatment of its neurotoxicity. We, therefore, reviewed the current knowledge on mechanisms of iron dyshomeostasis and ferroptosis and aimed to promote a better understanding of their roles in sevoflurane- and isoflurane-induced neurotoxicity.

Abstract
Ferroptosis is a newly identified myocardial cell death mechanism driven by iron-dependent lipid peroxidation. The presence of elevated intramyocardial lipid levels and excessive iron in patients with diabetes suggest a predominant role of ferroptosis in diabetic cardiomyopathy. As myocardial cell death is a precursor of heart failure, and intensive glycemic control cannot abate the increased risk of heart failure in patients with diabetes, targeting myocardial cell death via ferroptosis is a promising therapeutic avenue to prevent and/or treat diabetic cardiomyopathy. This review provides updated and comprehensive molecular mechanisms underpinning ferroptosis, clarifies several misconceptions about ferroptosis, emphasizes the importance of ferroptosis in diabetes-induced myocardial cell death, and offers valuable approaches to evaluate and target ferroptosis in the diabetic heart. Furthermore, basic concepts and ideas presented in this review, including glutathione peroxidase-4-independent and mitochondrial mechanisms of ferroptosis, are also important for investigating ferroptosis in other diabetic organs, as well as nondiabetic and metabolically compromised hearts.

Abstract
Anesthesiologists are often faced with patients combined with a series of organ injuries, such as acute lung injury, myocardial ischemia-reperfusion injury, and neurodegenerative diseases. With the in-depth study of these diseases, we are more aware of the choice and rational use of anesthetics for the prognosis of these patients. Ferroptosis is a new type of programmed cell death. This unique pattern of cell death, driven by an imbalance between oxides and antioxidants, is regulated by multiple cellular metabolic events, including redox homeostasis, iron handling, mitochondrial activity, and lipids peroxidation. Numerous studies confirmed that anesthetics modulate ferroptosis by interfering its machineries such as cystine-import-glutathione-glutathione peroxidase 4 axis, Heme oxygenase 1, nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2, and iron homeostasis system. In this literature review, we systemically illustrated possible involvement of ferroptosis in effects of anesthetics and adjuvant drugs on multiple organ diseases, hoping our work may serve as a basis for further studies on regulating ferroptosis through anesthetics related pharmacological modulation and promoting the rational use of anesthetics.

Abstract
Copper (Cu) is a vital trace element for maintaining human health. Current evidence suggests that genes responsible for regulating copper influx and detoxification help preserve its homeostasis. Adequate Cu levels sustain normal cardiac and blood vessel activity by maintaining mitochondrial function. Cuproptosis, unlike other forms of cell death, is characterized by alterations in mitochondrial enzymes. Therapeutics targeting cuproptosis in cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) mainly include copper chelators, inhibitors of copper chaperone proteins, and copper ionophores. In this review, we expound on the primary mechanisms, critical proteins, and signaling pathways involved in cuproptosis, along with its impact on CVDs and the role it plays in different types of cells. Additionally, we explored the influence of key regulatory proteins and signaling pathways associated with cuproptosis on CVDs and determined whether intervening in copper metabolism and cuproptosis can enhance the outcomes of CVDs. The insights from this review provide a fresh perspective on the pathogenesis of CVDs and new targets for intervention in these diseases.

Abstract
The use of general anesthetics in modern clinical practice is commonly regarded as safe for healthy individuals, but exposures at the extreme ends of the age spectrum have been linked to chronic cognitive impairments and persistent functional and structural alterations to the nervous system. The accumulation of evidence at both the epidemiological and experimental level prompted the addition of a warning label to inhaled anesthetics by the Food and Drug Administration cautioning their use in children under 3 years of age. Though the mechanism by which anesthetics may induce these detrimental changes remains to be fully elucidated, increasing evidence implicates mitochondria as a potential primary target of anesthetic damage, meditating many of the associated neurotoxic effects. Along with their commonly cited role in energy production via oxidative phosphorylation, mitochondria also play a central role in other critical cellular processes including calcium buffering, cell death pathways, and metabolite synthesis. In addition to meeting their immense energy demands, neurons are particularly dependent on the proper function and spatial organization of mitochondria to mediate specialized functions including neurotransmitter trafficking and release. Mitochondrial dependence is further highlighted in the developing brain, requiring spatiotemporally complex and metabolically expensive processes such as neurogenesis, synaptogenesis, and synaptic pruning, making the consequence of functional alterations potentially impactful. To this end, we explore and summarize the current mechanistic understanding of the effects of anesthetic exposure on mitochondria in the developing nervous system. We will specifically focus on the impact of anesthetic agents on mitochondrial dynamics, apoptosis, bioenergetics, stress pathways, and redox homeostasis. In addition, we will highlight critical knowledge gaps, pertinent challenges, and potential therapeutic targets warranting future exploration to guide mechanistic and outcomes research.

Abstract
Macrophage pyroptosis drives the secretion of IL-1β, which has been recently reported to be a featured salivary biomarker for discriminating periodontitis in the presence of diabetes. This study aimed to explore whether macrophage pyroptosis plays a role in the development of diabetes mellitus–periodontitis, as well as potential therapeutic strategies. By establishing a model of experimental diabetes mellitus–periodontitis in rats, we found that IL-1β and gasdermin D were highly expressed, leading to aggravated destruction of periodontal tissue. MCC950, a potent and selective molecule inhibitor of the NLRP3 inflammasome, effectively inhibited macrophage pyroptosis and attenuated alveolar bone losses in diabetes mellitus–periodontitis. Consistently, in vitro, high glucose could induce macrophage pyroptosis and thus promoted IL-1β production in macrophages stimulated by lipopolysaccharide. In addition, autophagy blockade by high glucose via the mTOR-ULK1 pathway led to severe oxidative stress response in macrophages stimulated by lipopolysaccharide. Activation of autophagy by rapamycin, clearance of mitochondrial ROS by mitoTEMPO, and inhibition of inflammasome by MCC950 could significantly reduce macrophage pyroptosis and IL-1β secretion. Our study demonstrates that hyperglycemia promotes IL-1β production and pyroptosis in macrophages suffered by periodontal microbial stimuli. Modulation of autophagy activity and specific targeting of the ROS-inflammasome pathway may offer promising therapeutic strategies to alleviate diabetes mellitus–periodontitis.

Abstract
It is common for elderly patients to develop postoperative cognitive dysfunction (POCD), but the pathophysiological mechanisms have not yet been fully explored. NLRP3 inflammasome activation and mitophagy impairment was involved in neurodegenerative disease. This study investigated the interaction of NLRP3 inflammasome and mitophagy in sevoflurane-induced cognitive dysfunction. We found that sevoflurane induced cleaved caspase-1 level, IL-1β and IL-18 maturation, and activated NLRP3 inflammasome in aged mice and the primary hippocampus neuron. The cleaved caspase-1 was demonstrated in microglia of hippocampus. Ac-YVAD-cmk, a selected caspase-1 inhibitor, reduced the expression of cleaved caspase-1, IL-1β, IL-18 and NLRP3 inflammasome activation induced by sevoflurane. Ac-YVAD-cmk ameliorated learning ability impairment in aged mice induced by sevoflurane using Morris water maze. Moreover, Ac-YVAD-cmk reversed the mitophagy flux dysfunction induced by sevoflurane in aged mice by western blotting, immunostaining and mt-Keima reporters. For the first time, we found caspase-1 inhibitor mitigated mitochondria dysfunction and revised mitophagy impairment induced by sevoflurane.

Abstract
General anesthetics-induced neurotoxicity and cognitive impairment in developing brains have become one of the current research hotspots in the medical science community. The underlying mechanisms are complex and involve various related molecular signaling pathways, cell mediators, autophagy, and other pathological processes. However, few drugs can be directly used to treat neurotoxicity and cognitive impairment caused by general anesthetics in clinical practice. This article reviews the molecular mechanism of general anesthesia-induced neurotoxicity and cognitive impairment in the neonatal brain after surgery in the hope of providing critical references for the treatments of clinical diseases.

Abstract
Ferroptosis is a novel programmed cell death form characterized by iron-mediated reactive oxygen species-induced lipid peroxidation and subsequent cell damage that is distinct from apoptosis, necroptosis, pyroptosis, and autophagy. Most studies on ferroptosis are based on its function and mechanism, but there have been relatively few studies on the effects of drugs, especially anaesthetics, on ferroptosis. Therefore, we summarized the recent literature on the effects of anaesthetics on ferroptosis to understand the underlying mechanism. In particular, we focused on the targets of various anaesthetics in different mechanisms of ferroptosis and the effects of ferroptosis induction or inhibition by narcotics on various diseases. The aims of this review are to provide a relatively reasonable drug regimen for clinicians, to explore potential ferroptosis protection drugs and targets, to reduce perioperative complications and to improve the postoperative performance of patients, especially those who are critically ill.
