Abstract
Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), a respiratory sleep disorder associated with cardiovascular diseases, is more prevalent in men. However, OSA occurrence in pregnant women rises to a level comparable to men during late gestation, creating persistent effects on both maternal and offspring health. The exact mechanisms behind OSA-induced cardiovascular diseases remain unclear, but inflammation and oxidative stress play a key role. Animal models using intermittent hypoxia (IH), a hallmark of OSA, reveal several pro-inflammatory signaling pathways at play in males, such as TLR4/MyD88/NF-κB/MAPK, miRNA/NLRP3, and COX signaling, along with shifts in immune cell populations and function. Limited evidence suggests similarities in pregnancies and offspring. In addition, suppressing these inflammatory molecules ameliorates IH-induced inflammation and tissue injury, providing new potential targets to treat OSA-associated cardiovascular diseases. This review will focus on the inflammatory mechanisms linking IH to cardiovascular dysfunction in males, pregnancies, and their offspring. The goal is to inspire further investigations into the understudied populations of pregnant females and their offspring, which ultimately uncover underlying mechanisms and therapeutic interventions for OSA-associated diseases.

Abstract
BACKGROUND: Propofol is an anesthetic agent and can impede the progression of human diseases. Circular RNA (circRNA) circ_0003645 has been identified to promote the development of atherosclerosis (AS). This study aimed at the functional mechanism of propofol and circ_0003645 in AS. METHODS: AS cell model was established by treatment of oxidized low-density lipoprotein (ox-LDL) in human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs). Cell viability or apoptosis detection was performed by Cell Counting Kit-8 (CCK-8) assay and flow cytometry. Circ_0003645, microRNA-149-3p (miR-149-3p) and tumor necrosis factor receptor-associated factor 7 (TRAF7) levels were determined by the quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR). Inflammatory cytokines were examined using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Protein analysis was conducted by western blot. The interaction of miR-149-3p and circ_0003645 or TRAF7 was analyzed using dual-luciferase reporter assay and RNA immunoprecipitation (RIP) assay. RESULTS: Treatment of ox-LDL inhibited cell viability and enhanced apoptosis in HUVECs to establish the AS cell model. Propofol protected against cell viability inhibition and apoptosis promotion in AS cell model. Circ_0003645 expression was downregulated by propofol in AS cell model. Propofol alleviated cell apoptosis and inflammation by decreasing the circ_0003645 level. Circ_0003645 targeted miR-149-3p, and circ_0003645/miR-149-3p axis was involved in the functional regulation of propofol. TRAF7 was the target of miR-149-3p. Inhibition of miR-149-3p affected the function of propofol by upregulating the TRAF7 expression. Circ_0003645 sponged miR-149-3p to induce the upregulation of TRAF7 following propofol treatment. CONCLUSION: It has been suggested that propofol acted as an inhibitor against the ox-LDL-induced cell injury by the circ_0003645/miR-149-3p/TRAF7 axis.

Abstract
Intermittent hypoxia (IH) has a dual nature. On the one hand, chronic IH (CIH) is an important pathologic feature of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) syndrome (OSAS), and many studies have confirmed that OSA-related CIH (OSA-CIH) has atherogenic effects involving complex and interacting mechanisms. Limited preventive and treatment methods are currently available for this condition. On the other hand, non-OSA-related IH has beneficial or detrimental effects on the body, depending on the degree, duration, and cyclic cycle of hypoxia. It includes two main states: intermittent hypoxia in a simulated plateau environment and intermittent hypoxia in a normobaric environment. In this paper, we compare the two types of IH and summarizes the pathologic mechanisms and research advances in the treatment of OSA-CIH-induced atherosclerosis (AS), to provide evidence for the systematic prevention and treatment of OSAS-related AS.

Abstract
Chronic (continuous, non-interrupted) hypoxia and cycling (intermittent, transient) hypoxia are two types of hypoxia occurring in malignant tumors. They are both associated with the activation of hypoxia-inducible factor-1 (HIF-1) and nuclear factor κB (NF-κB), which induce changes in gene expression. This paper discusses in detail the mechanisms of activation of these two transcription factors in chronic and cycling hypoxia and the crosstalk between both signaling pathways. In particular, it focuses on the importance of reactive oxygen species (ROS), reactive nitrogen species (RNS) together with nitric oxide synthase, acetylation of HIF-1, and the action of MAPK cascades. The paper also discusses the importance of hypoxia in the formation of chronic low-grade inflammation in cancerous tumors. Finally, we discuss the effects of cycling hypoxia on the tumor microenvironment, in particular on the expression of VEGF-A, CCL2/MCP-1, CXCL1/GRO-α, CXCL8/IL-8, and COX-2 together with PGE2. These factors induce angiogenesis and recruit various cells into the tumor niche, including neutrophils and monocytes which, in the tumor, are transformed into tumor-associated neutrophils (TAN) and tumor-associated macrophages (TAM) that participate in tumorigenesis.

Abstract
Ketamine and propofol are commonly used anaesthetic reagents. Recent research revealed that ketamine and propofol have an important role in cell survival. However, it remains unknown whether they affect the outcome of hypoxic-ischemic brain injury. To address this issue, we in this study investigated the effects of ketamine and propofol on the survival and proliferation of neuronal PC12 cells after exposure to oxygen-glucose deprivation- (OGD-) induced injury. PC12 cells were maintained under a 3-dimensional (3D) culture system to mimic a real physiological microenvironment. The cell injury was induced by 5% CO2 and 95% N2 for a different time point. MTT assay was used for the cell proliferation assay. The cell apoptosis was evaluated by annexin V and propidium iodide (PI) labeling, immunofluorescence staining, transmission electron microscopy (TEM), flow cytometry, and Western blot, respectively. Our results showed that PC12 cell apoptosis was significantly increased for up to 70% after the cells were treated with OGD for 24 hours and reduced to baseline at the 72-hour time point. However, pretreatment with ketamine and propofol significantly protected the cells from OGD-induced cell apoptosis, as evidenced by more expression of antiapoptotic Bcl-2 and lower expression of proapoptotic cleaved caspase-3, phosphor-SAPK/JNK, and phosphor-c-Jun than those of untreated control cells. Thus, we conclude that ketamine and propofol protected PC12 cells from OGD-induced cell apoptosis, at least partially through the SAPK/JNK signalling pathway.

Abstract
Propofol is an anesthetic agent moderating GABA receptors in the nervous system. A number of studies have demonstrated that propofol exerts a negative effect on neural stem cell development in the neonatal mouse hippocampus. However, to the best of our knowledge, there is no study available to date illustrating whether neonatal exposure to propofol affects Leydig stem/progenitor cell development for normal male reproductive development and functions, and the regulatory mechanism remains elusive. In the present study, TM3 cells, a mouse Leydig stem/progenitor cell line, was treated with propofol. The data illustrated that propofol significantly reduced TM3 cell viability. TM3 subG1 phase cell numbers were significantly increased by propofol assayed by flow cytometric analysis. Annexin V/PI double staining assay of the TM3 Leydig cells also demonstrated that propofol increased TM3 cell apoptosis. In addition, cleaved caspase‑8, ‑9 and ‑3 and/or poly(ADP‑ribose) polymerase (PARP) were significantly activated by propofol in the TM3 cells. Furthermore, the expression levels of phospho‑JNK, phospho‑ERK1/2 and phospho‑p38 were activated by propofol in the TM3 cells, indicating that propofol induced apoptosis through the mitogen‑activated protein kinase (MAPK) pathway. Additionally, propofol diminished the phosphorylation of Akt to increase the apoptosis of TM3 cells. On the whole, the findings of the present study demonstrate that propofol induces TM3 cell apoptosis by activating caspases and MAPK pathways, as well as by inhibiting the Akt pathway in TM3 cells. These findings illustrate that propofol affects the viability of Leydig stem/progenitor cells possibly related to the development of the male reproductive system.

Abstract
Glomerulonephritis related renal failure is a frequent cause of end-stage renal disease, and immunoglobulin A nephropathy (IgAN) is the most frequent type of primary glomerulonephritis. As damage induced by IgAN mostly attributes to inflammation responses, inhibiting inflammation in glomerulus can protect normal renal function and delay the onset of renal failure. Hence, reducing levels of p38 MAPK and p65 which are essential regulators in p38 MAPK and NF-κB related inflammation responses could be effective against IgAN. Here, we rationally designed and constructed size- and surface charge- dependent glomerulus-targeting liposomal nanoparticles which are loaded with both p38α MAPK and p65 siRNA. Experiments show that our nanoparticles successfully crossed fenestrated endothelium, accumulated in mesangial cells and endothelial cells, efficiently silenced p38α MAPK and p65 genes, and eventually alleviated proteinuria, inflammation and excessive extracellular matrix deposition in mouse IgAN models. This siRNA co-delivery system thus represents a promising treatment option for IgAN and offers a versatile platform for other glomerular problems. Our work also highlights a novel strategy of glomerulus-targeting and an encouraging therapeutic route for other inflammatory diseases.

Abstract
Background Emerging data suggests that volatile anesthetic agents may have organ protection properties in the setting of critical illness. The purpose of this study was to better understand the effect of inflammation on cerebral subcellular energetics in animals exposed to two different anesthetic agents—a GABA agonist (propofol) and a volatile agent (isoflurane). Results Forty-eight Sprague–Dawley rats were anesthetized with isoflurane or propofol. In each group, rats were randomized to celiotomy and closure (sham) or cecal ligation and puncture (inflammation [sepsis model]) for 8 h. Brain tissue oxygen saturation and the oxidation state of cytochrome aa3 were measured. Brain tissue was extracted using the freeze-blow technique. All rats experienced progressive increases in tissue oxygenation and cytochrome aa3 reduction over time. Inflammation had no impact on cytochrome aa3, but isoflurane caused significant cytochrome aa3 reduction. During isoflurane (not propofol) anesthesia, inflammation led to an increase in lactate (+ 0.64 vs. − 0.80 mEq/L, p = 0.0061). There were no differences in ADP:ATP ratios between groups. In the isoflurane (not propofol) group, inflammation increased the expression of hypoxia-inducible factor-1α (62%, p = 0.0012), heme oxygenase-1 (67%, p = 0.0011), and inducible nitric oxide synthase (31%, p = 0.023) in the brain. Animals exposed to inflammation and isoflurane (but not propofol) exhibited increased expression of protein carbonyls (9.2 vs. 7.0 nM/mg protein, p = 0.0050) and S-nitrosylation (49%, p = 0.045) in the brain. RNA sequencing identified an increase in heat shock protein 90 and NF-κβ inhibitor mRNA in the inflammation/isoflurane group. Conclusions In the setting of inflammation, rats exposed to isoflurane show increased hypoxia-inducible factor-1α expression despite a lack of hypoxia, increased oxidative stress in the brain, and increased serum lactate, all of which suggest a relative increase in anaerobic metabolism compared to propofol. Differences in oxidative stress as well as heat shock protein 90 and NF-κβ inhibitor may account for the differential expression of cerebral hypoxia-inducible factor-1α during inflammation.

Abstract
Intermittent hypoxia/reoxygenation (IHR), characterized by repeated episodes of hypoxia interspersed with periods of reoxygenation, has been found to induce pro‑inflammatory cytokine production and is increasingly recognized as a major pathophysiological factor in various disease processes with distinct cell and molecular responses. The present study is the first, to the best of our knowledge, to investigate the effects of ubiquitin‑specific peptidase 8 (USP8) on IHR‑induced inflammation in renal tubular epithelial cells and examine the underlying mechanism. Following transfection of plasmids, HK‑2 and TCMK‑1 cells were incubated for eight cycles of IHR treatment including 3 h of hypoxic incubation followed by 3 h of normoxic culture. It was demonstrated that the expression of USP8 was decreased in IHR conditions but not in normoxic or continuous hypoxic conditions. In addition, IHR‑induced inflammation was suppressed in USP8‑overexpressinh renal tubular epithelial cells, and the silencing of USP8 markedly aggravated inflammation. Furthermore, it was found that the overexpression of USP8 inhibited the IHR‑induced activation of nuclear factor‑κB and it was demonstrated that USP8 interacted with transforming growth factor‑β‑activated kinase‑1 (TAK1) and deubiquitinated the K63‑linked ubiquitination of TAK1. Taken together, the results demonstrated the role of USP8 in IHR‑induced inflammation and suggested USP8 as a potential and specific therapeutic target for IHR‑related diseases.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The pathogenesis of chronic intermittent hypoxia (CIH)-induced abnormal hepatic lipid metabolism in rats remains unclear. Here, we investigated the therapeutic effect of N-acetylcysteine (NAC) on abnormal hepatic lipid metabolism. MATERIAL AND METHODS Rats were subjected to hypoxia and NAC treatment, and evaluated in terms of hepatic lipid metabolism, hepatocyte ultrastructure, oxidative stress in hepatocytes, expression of nuclear factor-kappa B (NF-κB) and inflammatory cytokines (IL-1β, IL-6, and TNFα), serum lipoprotein lipase (LPL) levels, and blood lipids (triglycerides and cholesterol). RESULTS Compared to the normoxic control group, animals in the hypoxic model group showed significant body weight gain; abnormal hepatic lipid metabolism; lipid vacuolization; accumulation of lipid droplets; abundant autophagosomes and lysosomes; significant increases in oxidative stress, inflammation level, and blood lipid levels; and significantly reduced LPL levels. Compared to control animals, rats in the treatment group exhibited normal body weight gain, improved lipid metabolism, fewer lipid droplets, alleviated ultrastructural injuries, decreased oxidative stress and inflammation level, as well as elevated LPL and reduced blood lipid levels. CONCLUSIONS The harmful effects of CIH on rat liver are possibly associated with the reactive oxygen species (ROS)/NF-κB signaling pathway. NAC is capable of attenuating lipid metabolism alterations and abnormal body weight gain in the CIH rat model, via a possible mechanism related to inhibition of ROS/NF-κB signaling.

Genistein exerts potent antitumour effects alongside anaesthetic, propofol, by suppressing cell proliferation and nuclear factor-κB-mediated signalling and through upregulating microRNA-218 expression in an intracranial rat brain tumour model. J Pharm Pharmacol 2017; 69:1565-1577.

Abstract
Abstract
Objective
This study was implemented to evaluate the effect of genistein and propofol on intracranial tumour model.
Methods
Male Fischer 344 rats were subjected to intracranial implantation of 9L gliosarcoma cells. Genistein (100 or 200 mg/kg b.wt) was administered orally regularly from 3rd day after implantation to 25th day. Propofol (20 mg/kg; i.p.) was administered once every 5 days till 25th day and was administered 2 h after genistein.
Key findings
Human gliosarcoma cells (U251) exposed to genistein (12.5–200 μg) for 24 h exhibited reduced cell viability as assessed by MTT assay and Hoechst staining. In intracranial tumour model, genistein treatment either with or without administration of propofol significantly reduced tumour volume and extended survival time of tumour-bearing rats. Genistein, either alone or with propofol upregulated pro-apoptotic proteins (Bad and Bax) and miRNA-218 expression and also had induced activation of cleaved caspase-3. Activated NF-κB signalling and overproduction of pro-inflammatory cytokines (TNF-α, IL-1β and IL-6) were reduced.
Conclusions
Genistein and propofol effectively inhibited growth of gliosarcoma cells and induced apoptosis. Genistein administration with propofol was found to be more effective than propofol or genistein alone suggesting the positive effects of genistein on propofol-mediated antitumour effects and vice versa.

Abstract
Cancer cell migration and invasion are essential features of the metastatic process. Volatile anesthetic sevoflurane inhibits the migration and invasion of multiple cancer cell lines; however, its effects on glioma cells are unclear. Emerging evidence suggests that microRNA (miRNA)-637 regulates glioma cell migration and invasion through the Akt1 pathway. Sevoflurane has been shown to modulate a number of miRNAs. In the present study, we examined whether sevoflurane inhibits glioma cell migration and invasion and, if so, whether these beneficial effects are mediated by miRNA-637. U251 glioma cells were treated without (control) or with sevoflurane at low, moderate or high concentrations for 6 h. To explore the molecular mechanisms, an additional group of U251 cells was treated with a miRNA‑637 inhibitor prior to treatment with a high concentration of sevoflurane. Compared with the control group, sevoflurane inhibited the migration and invasion of U251 cells in a dose-dependent manner. Molecular analyses revealed that sevoflurane increased the expression of miRNA‑637 and decreased the expression of Akt1 and phosphorylated Akt1 in a dose-dependent manner. Moreover, the inhibitory effects of sevoflurane on U251 cell migration and invasion were completely abolished by pre-treatment with miRNA‑637 inhibitor, which reversed the sevoflurane-induced reduction in the expression of Akt1 and phosphorylated Akt1 in the U251 cells. These results demonstrate that sevoflurane inhibits glioma cell migration and invasion and that these beneficial effects are mediated by the upregulation of miRNA‑637, which suppresses Akt1 expression and activity. These findings may have significant clinical implications for anesthesiologists regarding the choice of volatile anesthetic agents for the surgical resection of gliomas to prevent metastases and improve patient outcomes.

Abstract
The anoxemia theory proposes that an imbalance between the demand for and supply of oxygen in the arterial wall is a key factor in the development of atherosclerosis. There is now substantial evidence that there are regions within the atherosclerotic plaque in which profound hypoxia exists; this may fundamentally change the function, metabolism, and responses of many of the cell types found within the developing plaque and whether the plaque will evolve into a stable or unstable phenotype. Hypoxia is characterized in molecular terms by the stabilization of hypoxia-inducible factor (HIF) 1α, a subunit of the heterodimeric nuclear transcriptional factor HIF-1 and a master regulator of oxygen homeostasis. The expression of HIF-1 is localized to perivascular tissues, inflammatory macrophages, and smooth muscle cells adjacent to the necrotic core of atherosclerotic lesions and regulates several genes that are important to vascular function including vascular endothelial growth factor, nitric oxide synthase, endothelin-1, and erythropoietin. This review summarizes the effects of hypoxia on the functions of cells involved in atherogenesis and the evidence for its potential importance from experimental models and clinical studies.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Propofol has been shown to attenuate airway hyperresponsiveness in asthma patients. Our previous study showed that it may alleviate lung inflammation in a mouse model of asthma. Given the critical role of T-helper cell type-2 (Th2) differentiation in asthma pathology and the immunomodulatory role of the gamma-aminobutyric acid type A (GABAA) receptor, we hypothesized that propofol could alleviate asthma inflammation by inhibiting Th2 cell differentiation via the GABA receptor. METHODS For in vivo testing, chicken ovalbumin-sensitized and challenged asthmatic mice were used to determine the effect of propofol on Th2-type asthma inflammation. For in vitro testing, Th2-type cytokines as well as the cell proliferation and apoptosis were measured to assess the effects of propofol on Th2 cell differentiation and determine the underlying mechanisms. RESULTS We found that propofol significantly decreased inflammatory cell counts and interleukin-4 and inflammation score in vivo. Propofol, but not intralipid, significantly reduced the Th2-type cytokine interleukin-5 secretion and caused Th2 cell apoptosis without obvious inhibition of proliferation in vitro. A GABA receptor agonist simulated the effect of propofol, whereas pretreatment with an antagonist reversed this effect. CONCLUSIONS This study demonstrates that the antiinflammatory effects of propofol on Th2-type asthma inflammation in mice are mediated by inducing apoptosis without compromising proliferation during Th2 cell differentiation via activation of the GABA receptor.

Abstract
Anesthetics have been reported to promote Alzheimer's disease neuropathogenesis by inducing amyloid beta (Aβ) protein accumulation and apoptosis. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of propofol on the apoptosis, Aβ accumulation, and inflammation induced by sevoflurane in human neuroglioma cells. Human neuroglioma cells were treated with or without sevoflurane and then co-incubated with or without propofol. Cell apoptosis was evaluated by fluorescence-activated cell sorting analysis (FACS) using AV-PI kits, and data showed that apoptosis induced by sevoflurane was significantly attenuated by propofol treatment. In addition, with the reactive oxygen species (ROS) production measured by FACS after staining with dichloro-dihydrofluorescein diacetate, propofol could significantly reduce the production of ROS as well as the accumulation of Aβ induced by sevoflurane assessed by enzyme-linked immuno sorbent assay (ELISA) analysis. On the other hand, the same treatment decreased the inflammation factor production of interleukin-6. Moreover, the level of nuclear factor-kappa B (NF-κB) was tested by Western blot and immunofluorescence assay. We found that the activation of NF-κB pathway was suppressed by propofol. The results suggest that propofol can effectively attenuate the apoptosis, Aβ accumulation, and inflammation induced by sevoflurane in human neuroglioma cells through NF-κB signal pathway.
