Abstract
Ischemia/reperfusion injury (IRI) is a key determining agent in the pathophysiology of clinical organ dysfunction. It is characterized by an aseptic local inflammatory reaction due to a decrease in blood supply, hence deprivation of dependent oxygen and nutrients. In instances of liver transplantation, this injury may have irreversible implications, resulting in eventual organ rejection. The deterioration associated with IRI is affected by the hepatic health status and various factors such as alterations in metabolism, oxidative stress, and pro-inflammatory cytokines. The primary cause of inflammation is the initial immune response of pro-inflammatory cytokines, while Kupffer cells (KFCs) and neutrophil-produced chemokines also play a significant role. Upon reperfusion, the activation of inflammatory responses can elicit further cellular damage and organ dysfunction. This review discusses the interplay between chemokines, pro-inflammatory cytokines, and other inflammatory mediators that contribute to the damage to hepatocytes and liver failure in rats following IR. Furthermore, it delves into the impact of anti-inflammatory therapies in safeguarding against liver failure and hepatocellular damage in rats following IR. This review investigates the correlation between cytokine factors and liver dysfunction via examining databases, such as PubMed, Google Scholar, Science Direct, Egyptian Knowledge Bank (EKB), and Research Gate.

Abstract
This study aimed to investigate the effects of fullerene C60 on rat liver tissue in a liver ischemia reperfusion injury (IRI) model under sevoflurane anesthesia to evaluate the ability of nanoparticles to prevent hepatic complications. A total of 36 adult female Wistar Albino rats were divided into six groups, each containing six groups as follows: sham group (Group S), fullerene C60 group (Group FC60), ischemia-reperfusion group (Group IR), ischemia-reperfusion-sevoflurane group (Group IR-Sevo), ischemia-reperfusion-fullerene C60 group (Group IR-FC60), and ischemia-reperfusion-fullerene C60-sevoflurane group (Group IR-FC60-Sevo). Fullerene C60 100 mg/kg was administered to IR-FC60 and IR-FC60-Sevo groups. In the IR group, 2 h of ischemia and 2 h of reperfusion were performed. At the end of reperfusion, liver tissues were removed for biochemical assays and histopathological examinations. Hepatocyte degeneration, sinusoidal dilatation, prenecrotic cells, and mononuclear cell infiltration in the parenchyma were significantly higher in Group IR than in all other groups. Thiobarbituric acid reactive substances levels were significantly higher in Group IR than in the other groups, and the lowest thiobarbituric acid reactive substances level was in Group IR-FC60 than in the other groups, except for Groups S and FC60. Catalase and Glutathione-S-transferase activities were reduced in the IR group compared to all other groups. Fullerene C60 had protective effects against liver IR injury in rats under sevoflurane anesthesia. The use of fullerene C60 could reduce the adverse effects of IRI and the associated costs of liver transplantation surgery.

Abstract
Introduction: Hepatic ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury is common after liver surgery, particularly in patients of older age. However, an understanding of the mechanism of injury remains incomplete. In this study, we explored the molecular mechanisms underlying hepatic I/R injury and associations with age in a murine model. Methods: Gene expression profiling datasets (GSE72315 and GSE10654) and a microRNA (miRNA) expression profiling dataset (GSE72315) were downloaded from Gene Expression Omnibus. Differentially expressed genes (DEGs) and miRNAs (DEMiRs) were identified using online GEO2R or R before and after hepatic I/R injury in mice. Significant Gene Ontology (GO) terms were analyzed with the DAVID functional annotation tool. The DEMiR-miRNA target gene (miRTG) networks were constructed with miRTarBase, and the differentially expressed miRNAs and genes were analyzed with real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction and immunofluorescence staining. Results: Through bioinformatic analysis, seven novel candidate miRNAs were identified that may regulate the expression of nine genes in hepatic I/R injury. Before and after hepatic I/R injury, mmu-miR-9-5p, mmu-miR-329-3p, and mmu-miR-290a-5p showed significant differential expression both in young (1 month old) and old (1 year old) mice. miR-329-3p had the most significant differential expression, and its predicted target genes Adamts4 and Dnajb1 were also significantly upregulated. Conclusions: The decrease in miR-329-3p expression upregulated Adamts4 and Dnajb1 expression in mouse hepatic I/R injury in an age-independent manner. This finding contributes to our understanding of hepatic I/R injury, and highlights novel molecular targets for future therapeutic development.

Abstract
Several studies have shown that males suffer more severe damage than females in the process of ischemia and reperfusion of the brain, heart and kidney. Accordingly, our study will reveal the correlation between the severity of hepatic ischemia‒reperfusion injury (HIRI) and sex, and preliminarily analyze the underlying mechanism. A total of 75 patients who were considered to have "benign liver tumors" at the initial admission and underwent partial hepatectomy were enrolled. We identified potential differences between different groups and discussed the correlation between the severity of HIRI and sex through a comparative analysis. Results showed that HIRI was more severe in males than in females, especially in younger patients. To explore whether estrogen level differences are the main reason for the sex differences in HIRI, we further revealed that HIRI in premenopausal females was more severe than that in postmenopausal females. By comparing the levels of gonadal hormones, we speculated that multiple gonadal hormones, including follicle-stimulating hormone, luteinizing hormone and testosterone, may jointly participate in the regulation of sex differences in HIRI together with estrogen.

Abstract
Liver ischemia-reperfusion (IR) injury is associated with poor outcome after liver transplantation and liver resections. Hexafluoroisopropanol (HFIP) is a tri-fluorinated metabolites of volatile anesthetics and has modulatory effects on inflammation that have been observed mainly in cell culture experiments. In this survey, we investigated the effects of HFIP in a rat model of normothermic hepatic ischemia-reperfusion injury. Twenty-four male Wistar rats were randomized into three groups: (1) control in which animals were submitted to 30 min of partial liver ischemia with resection of non-ischemic liver lobes immediate after reperfusion, (2) pre-ischemia (PI) group in which animals received intravenous HFIP (67 mg/kg) 5 min before liver ischemia, and (3) pre-reperfusion (PR) group in which animals received intravenous HFIP (67 mg/kg) 5 min before reperfusion. Four hours after reperfusion, all animals were euthanized for sample collection. Aspartate and alanine transaminases, glucose, and high mobility group box-1 (HMGB-1) protein concentrations showed a significant decreased, and malondialdehyde was increased in the PR group compared with control and PI groups. Interleukin 6 (IL-6) was increased in the PI group compared with control and PR groups. IL-10 and -12 were increased in the PR and PI groups, respectively, when compared with the control group. Glucose decreased in the PR when compared with the control group. Post-conditioning with HFIP led to a decrease in hepatocellular injury and was associated with a downregulation of HMGB-1. The HFIP resulted in a better control of inflammatory response to ischemia-reperfusion even without causing a reduction in oxidative stress.

Abstract
Knowledge shows a divergence of results between preclinical and clinical studies regarding anesthesia and postoperative progression of cancer. While laboratory and animal data from then 2000s onwards raised much enthusiasm in this field of research leading to several clinical investigations worldwide, data from randomized trials seem to have killed off hope for many scientists. However several aspects of the actual knowledge should be reevaluated and there is space for new strategies of investigation. In this paper, we perform a critical review of actual knowledge and propose new research strategies with a special focus on anesthetic management and repurposed anesthetic adjuvants for pancreatic cancer.

Mol Med Rep 2021; 25:1.

Abstract
Hepatic ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury (HIRI) often occurs following tissue resection, hemorrhagic shock or transplantation surgery. Previous investigations showed that sevoflurane (Sevo), an inhalation anesthetic, had protective properties against different organ damage in animal models including HIRI. This study is aimed to investigate the underlying mechanisms involved in the protective effects of Sevo on HIRI. The present study results showed that treatment with Sevo improved histologic damage, inflammatory response, oxidative stress and apoptosis after hepatic I/R, indicating the protective role of Sevo against liver I/R injury. Importantly, in order to determine the molecular mechanism of Sevo in HIRI, the focus of the study was on microRNA (miR) regulation. By retrieving the microarray data in the Gene Expression Omnibus dataset (GSE72315), miR-218-5p was found to be significantly downregulated by Sevo. Moreover, miR-218-5p overexpression using agomiR-218-5p reversed the protective roles of Sevo against HIRI. Furthermore, GAB2, a positive regulator of PI3K/AKT signaling pathway, was found as a target gene of miR-218-5p. It was also found that the Sevo-mediated protective effects may be dependent on the activation of GAB2/PI3K/AKT. Collectively, these data revealed that Sevo alleviated HIRI in mice by restraining apoptosis, relieving oxidative stress and inflammatory response through the miR-218-5p/GAB2/PI3K/AKT pathway, which helps in understanding the novel mechanism of the hepatic-protection of Sevo.

Abstract
Hepatic ischaemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury represents an event characterized by anoxic cell death and an inflammatory response, that can limit the treatment efficacy of liver surgery. Ischaemic preconditioning agents such as sevoflurane (Sevo) have been highlighted to play protective roles in hepatic I/R injury. The current study aimed to investigate the molecular mechanism underlying the effects associated with Sevo in hepatic I/R injury. Initially, mouse hepatic I/R injury models were established via occlusion of the hepatic portal vein and subsequent reperfusion. The expression of forkhead box protein O4 (FOXO4) was detected using reverse transcription quantitative polymerase chain reaction and Western blot analysis from clinical liver tissue samples obtained from patients who had previously undergone liver transplantation, mouse I/R models and oxygen-deprived hepatocytes. The morphology of the liver tissues was analysed using haematoxylin-eosin (HE) staining, with apoptosis detected via TUNEL staining. Immunohistochemistry methods were employed to identify the FOXO4-positive cells. Mice with knocked out FOXO4 (FOXO4-KO mice) were subjected to I/R. In this study, we found FOXO4 was highly expressed following hepatic I/R injury. After treatment with Sevo, I/R modelled mice exhibited an alleviated degree of liver injury, fewer apoptotic cells and FOXO4-positive cells. FOXO4 was a target gene of miR-96. Knockdown of FOXO4 could alleviate hepatic I/R injury and decrease cell apoptosis. Taken together, the key observations of our study suggest that Sevo alleviates hepatic I/R injury by means of promoting the expression of miR-96 while inhibiting FOXO4 expression. This study highlights the molecular mechanism mediated by Sevo in hepatic I/R injury.

[PMID: 33935744 PMCID: PMC8085516 DOI: 10.3389/fphar.2021.646307] [Citation(s) in RCA: 19] [Impact Index Per Article: 6.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/26/2020] [Accepted: 03/29/2021] [Indexed: 12/12/2022] Open
Abstract
Preconditioning of sevoflurane (Sevo) has been demonstrated to protect the liver from ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury. However, it is unknown whether it has hepatoprotective when given at the onset of reperfusion (postconditioning), a protocol with more clinical impact. The present study aimed to explore the hepatoprotective effects of Sevo postconditioning against hepatic IR injury in vivo and in vitro and the possible mechanisms. Using a mouse model of hepatic I/R, Sevo postconditioning significantly improved hepatic injury after reperfusion, as demonstrated by reduced AST, ALT, and LDH serum levels and reduced histologic damage in liver tissues. Furthermore, Sevo postconditioning could suppress the apoptosis, inhibit oxidative stress and inflammatory response in liver tissue of HIRI mice, as well as improve the survival rate of HIRI mice. Through analyzing GSE72314 from the gene expression omnibus (GEO) database, it was demonstrated that microRNA (miR)-142 is downregulated by HIRI, which was reversed by Sevo treatment. Further investigation showed that agomiR-142 injection could enhance the hepatoprotective effects of Sevo postconditioning on I/R injury, while antagomiR-142 reversed these effects in mice. Notably, high mobility group box 1 (HMGB1), an important inflammatory factor, was directly targeted by miR-142 in hepatic cells, and we further found that Sevo could inhibit the expression of HMGB1 through up-regulating miR-142 expression in HIRI mice model. In addition, we found that I/R injury induced the activation of TLR4/NF-κB inflammatory pathway was partially suppressed by Sevo postconditioning, and miR-142 mediated the regulatory role of Sevo postconditioning. In line with the in vivo results, Sevo treatment improved the cell viability, inhibited cell apoptosis, oxidative stress and inflammatory response in vitro HIRI model, while these effects were reversed by antagomiR-142 transfection. Collectively, our findings demonstrated that Sevo postconditioning counteracts the downregulation of miR-142 provoked by I/R, in turn decreased the expression of HMGB1, blocking TLR4/NF-κB pathway activation, thus improving hepatic I/R injury. Our data suggest that Sevo may be a valuable alternative anaesthetic agent in liver transplantation and major liver surgeries.

Ishikawa M, Iwasaki M, Sakamoto A, Ma D. Anesthetics may modulate cancer surgical outcome: a possible role of miRNAs regulation. BMC Anesthesiol 2021; 21:71. [PMID: 33750303 PMCID: PMC7941705 DOI: 10.1186/s12871-021-01294-w] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/20/2020] [Accepted: 03/01/2021] [Indexed: 02/06/2023] Open
Abstract
Background microRNAs (miRNAs) are single-stranded and noncoding RNA molecules that control post-transcriptional gene regulation. miRNAs can be tumor suppressors or oncogenes through various mechanism including cancer cell biology, cell-to-cell communication, and anti-cancer immunity. Main Body Anesthetics can affect cell biology through miRNA-mediated regulation of messenger RNA (mRNA). Indeed, sevoflurane was reported to upregulate miR-203 and suppresses breast cancer cell proliferation. Propofol reduces matrix metalloproteinase expression through its impact on miRNAs, leading to anti-cancer microenvironmental changes. Propofol also modifies miRNA expression profile in circulating extracellular vesicles with their subsequent anti-cancer effects via modulating cell-to-cell communication. Conclusion Inhalational and intravenous anesthetics can alter cancer cell biology through various cellular signaling pathways induced by miRNAs’ modification. However, this area of research is insufficient and further study is needed to figure out optimal anesthesia regimens for cancer patients.

[PMID: 33116633 PMCID: PMC7573327 DOI: 10.2147/ott.s253532] [Citation(s) in RCA: 11] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/02/2020] [Accepted: 07/07/2020] [Indexed: 12/18/2022] Open
Abstract
PURPOSE The aim was to research the role of LINC01116 in the prognosis of colorectal cancer (CRC) patients and development of colorectal cancer cells. METHODS In total 62 colorectal cancer patient tissues and human CRC cell lines (OUMS23, SW116, SW480 and LOVO) were obtained for this study. SiLINC01116, miR-9-5p mimic, LINC01116, oe-STMN1 and their controls were transfected. The qRT-PCR method and Western blot were used to detect the levels of LINC01116, miR-9-5p and STMN1 in tissues and cells. CCK8 assay and flow cytometry were processed for proliferation and apoptosis, respectively. Transwell assay was undertaken to verify invasion and migration. Luciferase assay and pull down assay were processed to confirm the binding relationship among LINC01116, miR-9-5p and STMN1. Immunohistochemistry assay also detected the expression of STMN1. Kaplan-Meier survival curve was used to analyze patient survival rate. Pearson correlation analysis was used to evaluate the regulatory relationship between LINC01116, miR-9-5p and STMN1 in tissues. RESULTS LINC01116 was expressed higher in CRC tissues and cells. Patients with higher expression of LINC01116 had worse prognosis. Knockdown of LINC01116 suppressed development of CRC cell. LINC01116 negatively regulated miR-9-5p, while MiR-9-5p was negatively related to STMN1. miR-9-5p mimic could rescue the effect of LINC01116, inhibit migration and invasion, and improve apoptosis of CRC cells. Oe-STMN1 could also rescue the effect of miR-9-5p on the development of colorectal cancer. CONCLUSION LINC01116 promoted the development of colorectal cancer via modulating miR-9-5p/STMN1 axis.

Zhang Y, Shi Y, Li Z, Sun L, Zhang M, Yu L, Wu S. BPA disrupts 17‑estradiol‑mediated hepatic protection against ischemia/reperfusion injury in rat liver by upregulating the Ang II/AT1R signaling pathway. Mol Med Rep 2020; 22:416-422. [PMID: 32319667 PMCID: PMC7248534 DOI: 10.3892/mmr.2020.11072] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/23/2019] [Accepted: 03/23/2020] [Indexed: 12/17/2022] Open
Abstract
Bisphenol A (BPA), a xenoestrogen commonly used in plastics, may act as an endocrine disruptor, which indicates that BPA might be a public health risk. The present study aimed to investigate the effect of BPA on 17β-estradiol (E2)-mediated protection against liver ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury, and to identify the underlying mechanisms using a rat model. A total of 56 male Sprague Dawley rats were randomly divided into the following seven groups: i) Sham; ii) I/R; iii) Sham + BPA; iv) I/R + BPA; v) I/R + E2; vi) I/R + E2 + BPA; and vii) I/R + E2 + BPA + losartan [LOS; an angiotensin II (Ang II) type I receptor (ATIR) antagonist]. A rat model of hepatic I/R injury was established by inducing hepatic ischemia for 60 min followed by reperfusion for 24 h. When ischemia was induced, rats were treated with vehicle, E2, BPA or LOS. After 24 h of reperfusion, blood samples and hepatic tissues were collected for histopathological and biochemical examinations. The results suggested that 4 mg/kg BPA did not significantly alter the liver function, or Ang II and AT1R expression levels in the Sham and I/R groups. However, 4 mg/kg BPA inhibited E2-mediated hepatic protection by enhancing hepatic necrosis, and increasing the release of alanine transaminase, alkaline phosphatase and total bilirubin (P<0.05). Moreover, BPA increased serum and hepatic Ang II levels, as well as AT1R protein expression levels in the E2-treated rat model of liver I/R injury (P<0.05). LOS treatment reversed the negative effects of BPA on hepatic necrosis and liver serum marker levels, although it did not reverse BPA-mediated upregulation of serum and hepatic Ang II levels, or hepatic AT1R expression. Therefore, the present study suggested that BPA disrupted E2-mediated hepatic protection following I/R injury, but did not significantly affect healthy or I/R-injured livers; therefore, the mechanism underlying the effects of BPA may be associated with upregulation of the Ang II/AT1R signaling pathway.
