Abstract
Cancer is a leading cause of death worldwide. With the increasingly aging population, the number of emerging cancer cases is expected to increase markedly in the foreseeable future. Surgical resection with adjuvant therapy is the best available option for the potential cure of many solid tumors; thus, approximately 80% of patients with cancer undergo at least one surgical procedure during their disease. Agents used in general anesthesia can modulate cytokine release, transcription factors, and/or oncogenes. This can affect host immunity and the capability of cancer cells to survive and migrate, not only during surgery but for up to several weeks after surgery. However, it remains unknown whether exposure to anesthetic agents affects cancer recurrence or metastasis. This review explores the current literature to explain whether and how the choice of anesthetic and perioperative medication affect cancer surgery outcomes.

Cheng H, Li Q. Sevoflurane inhibits cholangiocarcinoma via Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway. BMC Gastroenterol 2023; 23:279. [PMID: 37568083 PMCID: PMC10422733 DOI: 10.1186/s12876-023-02911-3] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/15/2022] [Accepted: 08/02/2023] [Indexed: 08/13/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Cholangiocarcinoma (CCA) is a refractory malignancy derived from bile duct epithelial cells. This study aimed to explore the role and molecular mechanisms of action of sevoflurane in CCA. METHODS CCK-8 assay was used to assess the proliferation of cholangiocarcinoma cells, and flow cytometry was used to detect cholangiocarcinoma cell apoptosis. The effects of sevoflurane on TFK1 and QBC939 cell migration and invasion were investigated using a Transwell assay. Western blotting and RT-qPCR were used to assess the expression of apoptosis-related proteins and genes, and gene expression of the Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway. RESULTS Our study found that sevoflurane inhibited cholangiocarcinoma cell proliferation in a dose-dependent manner. In addition, sevoflurane induced cholangiocarcinoma cell apoptosis, inhibited cholangiocarcinoma cell migration and invasion, as well as the Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway evidenced by decreased Wnt3a, β-catenin, c-Myc, and Cyclin D1 protein and mRNA expression, reduced p-GSK3β protein expression and p-GSK3β/GSK3β ratio. Further mechanistic studies revealed that Wnt/β-catenin pathway inducer SKL2001 reversed the inhibitory effect of sevoflurane on cholangiocarcinoma cells. CONCLUSIONS Sevoflurane induces apoptosis and inhibits the growth, migration, and invasion of cholangiocarcinoma cells by inhibiting the Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway. This study not only revealed the role of sevoflurane in the development of CCA but also elucidated new therapeutic agents for CCA.

Abstract
Cancer is one of the leading causes of death worldwide. There are only limited treatment strategies that can be applied to treat cancer, including surgical resection, chemotherapy, and radiotherapy, but these have only limited effectiveness. Developing a new drug for cancer therapy is protracted, costly, and inefficient. Recently, drug repurposing has become a rising research field to provide new meaning for an old drug. By searching a drug repurposing database ReDO_DB, a brief list of anesthetic/sedative drugs, such as haloperidol, ketamine, lidocaine, midazolam, propofol, and valproic acid, are shown to possess anti-cancer properties. Therefore, in the current review, we will provide a general overview of the anti-cancer mechanisms of these anesthetic/sedative drugs and explore the potential underlying signaling pathways and clinical application of these drugs applied individually or in combination with other anti-cancer agents.

Long-term oncological outcomes after oral cancer surgery using propofol-based total intravenous anesthesia versus sevoflurane-based inhalation anesthesia: A retrospective cohort study. PLoS One 2022; 17:e0268473. [PMID: 35559987 PMCID: PMC9106182 DOI: 10.1371/journal.pone.0268473] [Citation(s) in RCA: 7] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/22/2021] [Accepted: 04/30/2022] [Indexed: 12/24/2022] Open
Abstract
Background Previous studies have shown that the anesthetic technique may influence long-term outcomes after cancer surgery. However, the association between the anesthetic technique and long-term oncological outcomes after oral cancer surgery remains unclear. Therefore, we conducted this study to address this gap. Methods We reviewed the electronic medical records of patients who underwent elective oral cancer surgery between January 2014 and December 2015. The patients were grouped based on the anesthesia maintenance: either propofol or sevoflurane. Propensity score matching in a 1:1 ratio was performed to deal with the potential confounding effects of baseline characteristics. Univariate and multivariate Cox regression analyses were performed to compare hazard ratios (HRs) and identify the risk factors for death and recurrence. Survival analysis was performed using the Kaplan–Meier method, and survival curves were constructed from the date of surgery to death. Results In total, 1347 patients were eligible for analysis, with 343 and 1004 patients in the propofol and sevoflurane groups, respectively. After propensity score matching, 302 patients remained in each group. Kaplan–Meier survival curves demonstrated the 5-year overall and recurrence-free survival rates of 59.3% and 56.0% and 62.7% and 56.5% in the propofol and sevoflurane groups, respectively. There was no significant difference in overall survival or recurrence-free survival between the groups. The multivariate Cox analysis verified this conclusion with HRs of 1.10 and 1.11 for overall survival and recurrence-free survival, respectively, in the sevoflurane group. Older age, advanced tumor-node-metastasis (TNM) stage, and American Society of Anesthesiologists class III were associated with poor overall survival. Patients with advanced TNM stage and poorly differentiated squamous cell carcinoma had a higher recurrence risk than their counterparts. Conclusion The overall and recurrence-free survival rates were similar between propofol-based intravenous anesthesia and sevoflurane volatile anesthesia in patients who underwent oral cancer surgery.

Front Oncol 2022; 12:859621. [PMID: 35372041 PMCID: PMC8969566 DOI: 10.3389/fonc.2022.859621] [Citation(s) in RCA: 12] [Impact Index Per Article: 6.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/21/2022] [Accepted: 02/14/2022] [Indexed: 12/14/2022] Open
Abstract
ObjectiveTo clarify the function and mechanisms of sevoflurane (Sev) on ferroptosis in glioma cells.MethodsDifferent concentrations of Sev were used to treat glioma cells U87 and U251. Ferroptosis inducer Erastin was used to incubate glioma cells combined with Sev and ATF4 siRNA transfection treatment. CCK-8 assay and colorimetric assay were performed to analyze cell viability and Fe+ concentration, respectively. The releases of reactive oxygen species (ROS) were determined by flow cytometry analysis. Transcriptional sequencing was used to screen the differential genes affected by Sev in U251 cells. The mRNA and protein expression of ferroptosis-associated genes was detected by qRT-PCR and Western blotting.ResultsSev could suppress cell viability, increase ROS levels and Fe+ concentration, downregulate the protein expression levels of GPX4, and upregulate transferrin, ferritin, and Beclin-1 in a dose-dependent manner in U87 and U251 cells. The expression of ferroptosis and mitophagy-related gene activating transcription factor 4 (ATF4) was identified to be enhanced by Sev analyzed by transcriptional sequencing. ChaC glutathione-specific gamma-glutamylcyclotransferase 1 (CHAC1), which is involved in ferroptosis, is a downstream gene of ATF4. Inhibition of ATF4 could interrupt the expression of CHAC1 induced by Sev in U87 and U251 cells. Ferroptosis inducer Erastin treatment obviously inhibited the cell viability, elevated the Fe2+ concentration, and promoted ROS generation in U87 and U251 cells. The protein level of ATF4 and CHAC1 was increased in Erastin-treated U87 and U251 cells. Moreover, the interruption of Sev-induced ferroptosis and CHAC1 activating induced by ATF4 suppression could be reversed by Erastin.ConclusionsIn summary, this study suggested that Sev exposure-induced ferroptosis by the ATF4-CHAC1 pathway in glioma cells.

Abstract
Sevoflurane (SEV) is a common anesthetic to inhibit glioma progression. The previous studies have indicated the molecular mechanisms of SEV function in glioma. The objective of this study was to explore the association of circ_00037655 with SEV in glioma. Cell viability was evaluated by Cell Counting Kit-8 (CCK-8) assay. Cell proliferation was analyzed using Edu assay and colony formation assay. Flow cytometry was applied to determine cell apoptosis. Protein analysis was performed via western blot. Cell migration and invasion were assessed by transwell assay. Circ_0037655, microRNA-130a-5p (miR-130a-5p) and ribophorin II (RPN2) levels were detected using the quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR). Dual-luciferase reporter, RNA immunoprecipitation (RIP) and pull-down assays were used to analyze target interaction. The effect of circ_0037655 on SEV in vivo was researched by xenograft models. SEV reduced cell viability, proliferation, migration and invasion but induced apoptosis of glioma cells. Circ_0037655 expression was inhibited after SEV treatment in glioma cells. The effects of SEV on glioma cell behaviors were attenuated by upregulation of circ_0037655. Circ_0037655 interacted with miR-130a-5p and miR-130a-5p targeted RPN2. Circ_0037655 or miR-130a-5p regulated the anti-tumor function of SEV in glioma by targeting miR-130a-5p or RPN2. Circ_0037655 affected the expression of RPN2 via targeting miR-130a-5p. Circ_0037655 relieved SEV-induced glioma growth inhibition in vivo by mediating miR-130a-5p and RPN2 levels. SEV inhibited the malignant progression of glioma cells partly by regulating the circ_0037655/miR-130a-5p/RPN2 axis.

Transl Cancer Res 2022; 10:3788-3796. [PMID: 35116678 PMCID: PMC8798759 DOI: 10.21037/tcr-21-1385] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/04/2021] [Accepted: 08/12/2021] [Indexed: 12/19/2022]
Abstract
Background Angiopoietin-like protein 2 (ANGPTL2) is linked to various tumors. MicroRNA-204 (miR-204) is associated with colorectal cancer (CRC). Bioinformatic analysis has demonstrated a targeting relationship between miR-204 and ANGPTL2. The present study aimed to investigate the role of miR-204 in the proliferation and apoptosis of colorectal tumor cells. Methods Colorectal tumor tissues were collected. Normal colon mucosa was used as a control. The relationship between miR-204 and ANGPTL2 expression and tumor stage and prognosis was analyzed. The dual-luciferase reporter assay confirmed targeted regulation between miR-204 and ANGPTL2. SW480 cells were allocated to the miR-NC group and the miR-204 mimic group, followed by apoptotic analysis using flow cytometry and cellular proliferation analysis using EdU staining. Results Compared with normal colonic mucosa, miR-204 expression was decreased in colorectal tumor tissues and ANGPTL2 expression was increased, which correlated with TNM staging. The prognosis of patients with low miR-204 expression and high ANGPTL2 expression was worse than for patients with high miR-204 expression and low ANGPTL2 expression. The dual-luciferase reporter assay confirmed a targeting regulation relationship between miR-204 and ANGPTL2. Transfection of miR-204 mimic significantly inhibited the expression of ANGPTL2 and cell proliferation in SW480 cells and promoted apoptosis. Conclusions Downregulating miR-204 expression plays a vital role in upregulating ANGPTL2 expression and promoting the pathogenesis of CRC. MiR-204 is able to hinder the proliferation of colorectal tumor cells and encourage apoptosis by targeting the inhibition of ANGPTL2 expression.

Abstract
Perioperative interventions produce substantial biologic perturbations which are associated with the risk of recurrence after cancer surgery. The changes of tumor microenvironment caused by anesthetic drugs received increasing attention. Till now, it’s still unclear whether or not anesthetic drugs may exert positive or negative impact on cancer outcomes after surgery. Breast cancer is the most common tumor and the leading cause of cancer deaths in women. Propofol and sevoflurane are respectively the most commonly used intravenous and inhaled anesthetics. Debates regarding which of the two most commonly used anesthetics may relatively contribute to the recurrence and metastasis vulnerability of breast cancer postoperatively remain. This review aimed to provide a comprehensive view about the effect of propofol versus sevoflurane on the prognosis of breast cancer obtained from pre-clinical studies and clinical studies. Laboratory and animal studies have demonstrated that sevoflurane may enhance the recurrence and metastasis of breast cancer, while propofol is more likely to reduce the activity of breast cancer cells by attenuating the suppression of the immune system, promoting tumor cells apoptosis, and through other direct anti-tumor effects. However, retrospective clinical studies have shown contradictory results about the effects of propofol and sevoflurane on long-term survival in breast cancer patients. Furthermore, recent prospective studies did not identify significant differences between propofol and sevoflurane in breast cancer metastasis and recurrence. Therefore, more preclinical studies and randomized controlled studies are needed to guide the choice of anesthetics for breast cancer patients.

Abstract
Many factors affect the prognosis of patients undergoing tumor surgery, and anesthesia is one of the potential influencing factors. In general anesthesia, inhalation anesthesia is widely used in the clinic because of its strong curative effect and high controllability. However, the effect of inhalation anesthetics on the tumor is still controversial. More and more research has proved that inhalation anesthetics can intervene in local recurrence and distant metastasis of tumor by acting on tumor biological behavior, immune response, and gene regulation. In this paper, we reviewed the research progress of diverse inhalation anesthetics promoting or inhibiting cancer in the critical events of tumor recurrence and metastasis, and compared the effects of inhalation anesthetics on patients' prognosis in clinical studies, to provide theoretical reference for anesthesia management of patients undergoing tumor surgery.

Abstract
Breast cancer is the leading cause of mortality in women. It is a heterogeneous disease with a high degree of inter-subject variability even in patients with the same type of tumor, with individualized medicine having acquired significant relevance in this field. The clinical and morphological heterogeneity of the different types of breast tumors has led to a diversity of staging and classification systems. Thus, these tumors show wide variability in genetic expression and prognostic biomarkers. Surgical treatment is essential in the management of these patients. However, the perioperative period has been found to significantly influence survival and cancer recurrence. There is growing interest in the pro-tumoral effect of different anaesthetic and analgesic agents used intraoperatively and their relationship with metastatic progression. There is cumulative evidence of the influence of anaesthetic techniques on the physiopathological mechanisms of survival and growth of the residual neoplastic cells released during surgery. Prospective randomized clinical trials are needed to obtain quality evidence on the relationship between cancer and anaesthesia. This document summarizes the evidence currently available about the effects of the anaesthetic agents and techniques used in primary cancer surgery and long-term oncologic outcomes, and the biomolecular mechanisms involved in their interaction.

Wang J, Li S, Zhang G, Han H. Sevoflurane inhibits malignant progression of colorectal cancer via hsa_circ_0000231-mediated miR-622. ACTA ACUST UNITED AC 2021; 28:14. [PMID: 34183076 PMCID: PMC8237491 DOI: 10.1186/s40709-021-00145-6] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/01/2021] [Accepted: 06/14/2021] [Indexed: 12/30/2022]
Abstract
Background Sevoflurane (Sev), a commonly used volatile anesthetic, has been reported to inhibit the process of colorectal cancer (CRC). Circular RNAs (circRNAs) are revealed to participate in the pathogenesis of CRC. This study aims to reveal the mechanism of hsa_circ_0000231 in Sev-mediated CRC progression. Methods The expression of hsa_circ_0000231 and microRNA-622 (miR-622) was detected by quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR). Protein level was determined by western blot analysis. Cell proliferation was investigated by 3-(4,5-Dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide (MTT), cell colony formation and DNA content quantitation assays. Cell apoptosis was detected by Annexin V-fluorescein isothiocyanate and propidium iodide double staining and caspase 3 activity assays. Cell migration and invasion were investigated by wound-healing and transwell invasion assays, respectively. The putative relationship between hsa_circ_0000231 and miR-622 was predicted by circular RNA Interactome online database, and identified by dual-luciferase reporter and RNA immunoprecipitation assays. The impacts of hsa_circ_0000231 on Sev-mediated tumor formation in vivo were presented by in vivo assay. Results Hsa_circ_0000231 expression was upregulated, while miR-622 was downregulated in CRC tissues and cells compared with control groups. Sev treatment decreased hsa_circ_0000231 expression, but increased miR-622 expression in CRC cells. Sev treatment suppressed cell proliferation, migration and invasion, and induced cell apoptosis. Hsa_circ_0000231 overexpression restored Sev-mediated CRC progression in vitro. Additionally, hsa_circ_0000231 acted as a sponge of miR-622, and miR-622 inhibitors reversed the impacts of hsa_circ_0000231 silencing on CRC process. Furthermore, Sev treatment inhibited tumor growth by regulating hsa_circ_0000231 in vivo. Conclusion Hsa_circ_0000231 attenuated Sev-aroused repression impacts on CRC development by sponging miR-622. This findings may provide an appropriate anesthetic protocol for CRC sufferers undergoing surgery.

Abstract
Glioma is one of the most frequent primary brain tumors. Currently, the most common therapeutic strategy for patients with glioma is surgical resection combined with radiotherapy or/and adjuvant chemotherapy. However, due to the metastatic and invasive nature of glioma cells, the recurrence rate is high, resulting in poor prognosis. In recent years, gas therapy has become an emerging treatment. Studies have shown that the proliferation, metastasis and invasiveness of glioma cells exposed to anesthetic gases are obviously inhibited. Therefore, anesthetic gas may play a special therapeutic role in gliomas. In this review, we aim to collect existing research and summarize the rules of using anesthetic gases on glioma, providing potential strategies for further clinical treatment.

Abstract
Purpose To explore the effect of SEV on colon cancer cells through circ-PI4KA. Methods The RNA level of circular RNA_0062389, microRNA-331-3p and LIM and SH3 protein 1 was determined by quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction. Protein expression was detected by Western blot. Cell proliferation was investigated by 3-(4,5)-dimethylthiahiazo (-z-y1)-3,5-di-phenytetrazoliumromide, cell colony formation and 5-ethynyl-29-deoxyuridine assays. Cell apoptosis was demonstrated using Annexin V-fluorescein isothiocyanate/propidium iodide double staining assay. Cell migration and invasion were detected by transwell assay. The target relationship between miR-331-3p and circ-PI4KA or LASP1 was predicted by starBase v2.0 online database, and identified by a dual-luciferase reporter assay. The effects between SEV treatment and circ-PI4KA knockdown on tumor formation were presented by in vivo tumor formation assay. Results Circ-PI4KA and LASP1 expressions were dramatically upregulated, while miR-331-3p was downregulated in colon cancer tissues and cells, respectively. SEV exposure significantly decreased the expression of circ-PI4KA and LASP1, but increased miR-331-3p expression. SEV inhibited cell proliferation, migration and invasion, and induced cell apoptosis by regulating circ-PI4KA. Furthermore, circ-PI4KA interacted with miR-331-3p, and miR-331-3p interacted with LASP1. SEV inhibited tumor growth by controlling circ-PI4KA in vivo. Conclusion Circ-PI4KA attenuated SEV-treated colon cancer cell malignancy by upregulating LASP1 through binding to miR-331-3p, which provided a new mechanism for studying surgery-mediated therapy of colon cancer.

CircRNA VIM silence synergizes with sevoflurane to inhibit immune escape and multiple oncogenic activities of esophageal cancer by simultaneously regulating miR-124/PD-L1 axis. Cell Biol Toxicol 2021; 38:825-845. [PMID: 34018092 DOI: 10.1007/s10565-021-09613-0] [Citation(s) in RCA: 18] [Impact Index Per Article: 6.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/17/2020] [Accepted: 04/27/2021] [Indexed: 12/13/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Circular RNA of vimentin (circ-VIM) is a predictor for poor prognosis of acute myeloid leukemia, but we had little information on its function in esophageal cancer (EC). Here we examined the effects of circ-VIM together with sevoflurane on immune escape and multiple oncogenic activities of EC. METHODS Bioinformatic tools, luciferase assay, and RNA immunoprecipitation were used to examine regulations between circ-VIM, miR-124-3p (miR-124), and PD-L1. CCK-8, wound healing, and Transwell assays were used to measure cell proliferation, migration, and invasion, respectively. The impacts of EC cells on cytotoxicity, proliferation, and apoptosis of CD8+ T cells were examined using LDH assay, CFSE staining, and Annexin V/PI staining, respectively. The in vivo tumorigenesis and lung metastases were assessed using xenograft model and tail vein injection of EC cells. RESULTS Significant upregulation of circ-VIM and PD-L1 and downregulation of miR-124 were detected in EC tissues or cells. Circ-VIM sponged miR-124 and released its suppression on the downstream target PD-L1. Sevoflurane, independent of circ-VIM, also upregulated miR-124 to lower PD-L1 expression. By modulating miR-124/PD-L1 axis, silencing circ-VIM and applying sevoflurane both inhibited immune escape and multiple oncogenic activities of EC in vitro, and suppressed xenograft growth and lung metastases in vivo. The inactivation of Ras/ERK signaling pathway was involved in suppression of malignant phenotypes by silencing circ-VIM and sevoflurane treatment. CONCLUSIONS Silencing circ-VIM and applying sevoflurane, by separately regulating miR-124/PD-L1 axis, presented synergistic effects in inhibiting immune escape and multiple malignant phenotypes of EC cells.

[PMID: 34008749 PMCID: PMC8130105 DOI: 10.1590/1414-431x2020e10213] [Citation(s) in RCA: 10] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/28/2020] [Accepted: 11/25/2020] [Indexed: 12/22/2022]
Abstract
Sevoflurane (SEVO) is widely applied as an anesthetic, which exerts antitumor capacity in various cancers, including hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Previous studies indicated that long non-coding RNA KCNQ1 opposite strand/antisense transcript 1 (KCNQ1OT1) was upregulated, while microRNA-29a-3p (miR-29a-3p) was downregulated in HCC. Thus, we aimed to explore the roles of KCNQ1OT1 and miR-29a-3p in HCC cells exposed to SEVO. Cell proliferation, apoptosis, migration, and invasion were assessed by the 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide (MTT) assay, flow cytometry, and transwell assays, respectively. The levels of genes were determined by quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) or western blot. Furthermore, the interaction between miR-29a-3p and KCNQ1OT1 or chromebox protein homolog 3 (CBX3) was predicted by Starbase or Targetscan, and then confirmed by dual-luciferase reporter assay. We found that the levels of KCNQ1OT1 and CBX3 were decreased, while miR-29a-3p was increased in SEVO-treated HCC cells. KCNQ1OT1 overexpression weakened the inhibitory effects of SEVO on HCC cell proliferation, apoptosis, migration, and invasion. Interestingly, KCNQ1OT1 bound to miR-29a-3p, and miR-29a-3p targeted CBX3. KCNQ1OT1 upregulated CBX3 level by repressing miR-29a-3p expression. Furthermore, KCNQ1OT1 exerted tumor promotion in HCC cells via suppressing miR-29a-3p to regulate CBX3 expression. Collectively, our findings demonstrated that KCNQ1OT1 regulated the antitumor effects of SEVO on HCC cells through modulating the miR-29a-3p/CBX3 axis, providing a theoretical basis for the treatment of HCC.

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.

Abstract
Purpose Sevoflurane (SEV) is a frequently used volatile anesthetic in cancer surgery. Sevoflurane treatment has been shown to suppress the migration and invasion of several human cancer cells. However, the effect of sevoflurane on glioma remains largely unclear. Methods Glioma cell lines (U251 and U343) were treated by various concentrations of sevoflurane. 3-(4,5-dimethyl-2-thiazolyl)-2,5-diphenyl-2-H-tetrazolium bromide (MTT), flow cytometry assay, and transwell assay were performed to detect the cell viability, apoptosis, migration and invasion. Western blot assay was employed to detect the protein levels of β-catenin, c-Myc, CyclinD1, β-catenin, N-cadherin, vimentin, and DEK. Moreover, quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) was used to examine the expression level of miR-218-5p. The target interaction between miR-218-5p and DEK was predicted through bioinformatics analysis and verified by dual-luciferase reporter assay system. Results We found that sevoflurane aberrantly inhibited the abilities on viability, migration, invasion, EMT and β-catenin signaling and promoted cell apoptosis in U251 and U343 cells in a dose-dependent manner. MiR-218-5p strikingly suppressed the abilities of proliferation, migration, invasion rather than apoptosis and activation of β-catenin signaling. Sevoflurane could facilitate the miR-218-5p expression, and its suppressing effects on glioma cells were reversed by pre-treatment with miR-218-5p inhibitors or pcDNA3.1/DEK in vitro and in vivo. Silencing of miR-218-5p reverted sh-DEK and sevoflurane-induced repression on proliferation, migration, invasion, and β-catenin signaling, and promotion on apoptosis in the glioma cells. Conclusion Our data showed that sevoflurane inhibited the proliferation, migration, invasion, and enhanced the apoptosis in glioma cells through regulating miR-218-5p/DEK/β-catenin axis.

Berberine Inhibits the Expression of SCT through miR-214-3p Stimulation in Breast Cancer Cells. EVIDENCE-BASED COMPLEMENTARY AND ALTERNATIVE MEDICINE 2020; 2020:2817147.

Abstract
In this study, we aimed to evaluate the suppressive abilities of berberine (BBR) on MCF-7 and MDA-MB-231 cells and confirm its underlying mechanisms on miR-214-3p. We first built a panel of 18 miRNAs and 9 lncRNAs that were reported to participate in the mechanism of breast cancer. The RT-qPCR results suggested that BBR illustrated a dosage-dependent pattern in the stimulation to miR-214-3p in both MCF-7 and MDA-MB-231 cells. Then, we performed gain-and-lose function tests to validate the role of miR-214-3p contributing to the anticancer effects of BBR. Both BBR and miR-214-3p mimic reduced the cell viability, repressed migration and invasion capacities, increased rates of total apoptotic cells and ratio of Bax/Bcl-2, and increased the percentage of G2/M cells of MCF-7 and MDA-MB-231 cells by colony formation and CKK8 assay, scratch wound healing and gelatin-based 3D conformation assay, transwell invasion assay, and cell cycle analysis, respectively. However, miR-214-3p inhibitor counteracted all these effects of BBR. Based on the bioinformatics analysis and dual-luciferase reporter test, we identified binding sites between SCT and miR-214-3p. We further confirmed that BBR massively and dose-dependently reduced the mRNA expression and protein levels of SCT in both MCF-7 and MDA-231 cells. We testified that both miR-214-3p mimic and BBR could decrease the mRNA expression and protein levels of SCT, while miR-214-3p inhibitor weakened these reductions. In conclusion, BBR suppressed MCF-7 and MDA-MB-231 breast cancer cells by upregulating miR-214-3p and increasing its inhibition to SCT.

Abstract
Background Some retrospective and in vitro studies suggest that general anesthetics influence breast cancer recurrence and metastasis. We compared the effects of general anesthetics sevoflurane versus propofol on breast cancer cell survival, proliferation and invasion in vitro. The investigation focused on effects in intracellular Ca2+ homeostasis as a mechanism for general anesthetic-mediated effects on breast cancer cell survival and metastasis. Methods Estrogen receptor-positive (MCF7) and estrogen receptor-negative (MDA-MB-436) human breast cancer cell lines along with normal breast tissue (MCF10A) were used. Cells were exposed to sevoflurane or propofol at clinically relevant and extreme doses and durations for dose- and time-dependence studies. Cell survival, proliferation and migration following anesthetic exposure were assessed. Intracellular and extracellular Ca2+ concentrations were modulated using Ca2+ chelation and a TRPV1 Ca2+ channel antagonist to examine the role of Ca2+ in mediating anesthetic effects. Results Sevoflurane affected breast cancer cell survival in dose-, time- and cell type-dependent manners. Sevoflurane, but not propofol, at equipotent and clinically relevant doses (2% vs. 2 μM) for 6 h significantly promoted breast cell survival in all three types of cells. Paradoxically, extreme exposure to sevoflurane (4%, 24 h) decreased survival in all three cell lines. Chelation of cytosolic Ca2+ dramatically decreased cell survival in both breast cancer lines but not control cells. Inhibition of TRPV1 receptors significantly reduced cell survival in all cell types, an effect that was partially reversed by equipotent sevoflurane but not propofol. Six-hour exposure to sevoflurane or propofol did not affect cell proliferation, metastasis or TRPV1 protein expression in any type of cell. Conclusion Sevoflurane, but not propofol, at clinically relevant concentrations and durations, increased survival of breast cancer cells in vitro but had no effect on cell proliferation, migration or TRPV1 expression. Breast cancer cells require higher cytoplasmic Ca2+ levels for survival than normal breast tissue. Sevoflurane affects breast cancer cell survival via modulation of intracellular Ca2+ homeostasis.

MicroRNA-203-mediated inhibition of doublecortin underpins cardioprotection conferred by sevoflurane in rats after myocardial ischaemia-reperfusion injury. J Cell Mol Med 2020; 24:9825-9838. [PMID: 32783282 PMCID: PMC7520273 DOI: 10.1111/jcmm.15566] [Citation(s) in RCA: 8] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/11/2020] [Revised: 06/01/2020] [Accepted: 06/08/2020] [Indexed: 12/27/2022] Open
Abstract
Myocardial ischaemia‐reperfusion (I/R) injury is a serious illness with high morbidity and mortality. Mounting evidence indicates the utility of sevoflurane (SEV) in the treatment of myocardial I/R injury. This study aimed to explore the molecular mechanisms underlying the protective action of SEV against myocardial I/R injury. A rat model of myocardial I/R injury was established, and I/R rats were treated with different concentrations of SEV. MicroRNA‐203 (miR‐203) and doublecortin (DCX) expression levels were determined using reverse transcription‐quantitative polymerase chain reaction. Putative target relationship between miR‐203 and DCX was explored using dual‐luciferase reporter gene assay and RNA‐binding protein immunoprecipitation assay. Ischaemia‐reperfusion rats were treated with SEV, miR‐203 antagomir or sh‐DCX, followed by determination of oxidative stress‐ and inflammation‐related factor levels using nitrite and enzyme‐linked immunosorbent assays, and that of apoptosis‐related factors using Western blot analysis. The apoptotic rate of myocardial tissues was determined using TdT‐mediated dUTP‐biotin nick end labeling (TUNEL) staining, and the infract area was evaluated using triphenyltetrazolium chloride staining. The results showed miR‐203 was poorly expressed and DCX was highly expressed in myocardial tissues of I/R rats. Sevoflurane was found to elevate miR‐203, and miR‐203, in turn, could target and reduce DCX expression. Sevoflurane, miR‐203 overexpression or DCX silencing resulted in declined oxidative stress, inflammation, apoptosis and infarct area, ultimately alleviating myocardial I/R injury. Collectively, these findings showed that SEV‐activated miR‐203 exhibited suppressive effects on myocardial I/R injury in rats and highlighted the SEV/miR‐203/DCX axis as a promising therapeutic target for myocardial I/R injury management.

Int J Mol Med 2020; 46:97-106. [PMID: 32319540 PMCID: PMC7255470 DOI: 10.3892/ijmm.2020.4577] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/30/2019] [Accepted: 01/09/2020] [Indexed: 12/25/2022] Open
Abstract
Sevoflurane (Sevo) is one of the most frequently used volatile anesthetic agents in surgical oncology and has various effects on tumors, including inhibiting tumor growth, recurrence, and metastases; however, the molecular mechanisms are unknown. This study tried to investigate the influence of Sevo on hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) cells and its possible mechanisms of action. The present study found that Sevo suppressed both the proliferative and invasive capabilities of both HCCLM3 and Huh7 cells in a dose-dependent manner. Moreover, 53 differentially expressed microRNAs (miRNAs/miRs) in HCC cells that resulted from Sevo were screened out using miRNA microarray assay. In particular, miR-25-3p displayed a significant decrease in response to Sevo treatment. Further studies showed that Sevo's inhibitory actions on HCC cells were attenuated by overexpression of miR-25-3p but enhanced by its inhibitor. Phosphatidylinositol 3,4,5-trisphosphate 3-phosphatase and dual-specificity protein phosphatase PTEN (PTEN), a tumor suppressor gene, was directly targeted by miR-25-3p and its expression was upregulated by Sevo. In addition, Sevo suppressed the expression of phosphorylated-protein kinase B (p-Akt) (S473), glycogen synthase kinase (GSK) 3β (p-GSK3β) (S9), β-catenin, c-Myc and matrix metalloproteinase 9; whereas these inhibitory effects were reversed by miR-25-3p overexpression. More importantly, Sevo's tumor-suppressive effects were enhanced by LY294002 (a PI3-kinase inhibitor) but weakened by insulin growth factor-1 (an agonist of the Akt signaling pathway). These data suggest that Sevo's antitumor effects on HCC could be explained, in part, by Sevo inhibiting the miR-25-3p/PTEN/Akt/GSK-3β/β-catenin signaling pathway.

Abstract
Inhaled anesthetics are widely used for induction and maintenance of anesthesia during surgery, including isoflurane, sevoflurane, desflurane, haloflurane, nitrous oxide (N2O), enflurane and xenon. Nowadays, it is controversial whether inhaled anesthetics may influence the tumor progression, which urges us to describe the roles of different inhaled anesthetics in human cancers. In the review, the relationships among the diverse inhaled anesthetics and patient outcomes, immune response and cancer cell biology were discussed. Moreover, the mechanisms of various inhaled anesthetics in the promotion or inhibition of carcinogenesis were also reviewed. In summary, we concluded that several inhaled anesthetics have different immune functions, clinical outcomes and cancer cell biology, which could contribute to opening new avenues for selecting suitable inhaled anesthetics in cancer surgery.

Abstract
Aim Sevoflurane is a halogen inhaled anesthetic, and we aimed to probe the effect of sevoflurane on proliferation and invasion of human ovarian cancer (OC) and its mechanism. Methods OC cell lines were divided into 4 groups including control, sevoflurane low concentration (1.7%), medium concentration (3.4%) and high concentration (5.1%) groups. Flow cytometry and MTT assay were, respectively, employed to detect the cell apoptosis and proliferation. Transwell assay was applied to measure the cell migration and invasion viability. The gene and protein expressions were assessed using qRT-PCR and Western blot. The expressions of MAPK signaling pathway-related proteins were evaluated by Western blot. The p38 and JNK inhibitors were, respectively, added into the high concentration group to analyze the relationship between sevoflurane and modulatingmitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) pathway in OC. Nude mice models were constructed to explore the effect of sevoflurane on OC tumor growth in vivo. Results Sevoflurane inhibited OC proliferation in vitro and in vivo. It could also promote OC cell apoptosis in a dose-dependent manner. Sevoflurane suppressed the OC cell migration and invasion, and these effects were positively correlated with the dose of sevoflurane. Moreover, sevoflurane treatment inhibited the expressions of PCNA, Twist, cleaved-caspase-3/caspase-3, MMP-2 and MMP-9. In addition, sevoflurane repressed the phosphorylation of JNK and p38 MAPK. When the MAPK pathway was interdicted, the cell proliferation, apoptosis, migration and invasion activity were recovered after sevoflurane treatment. Conclusion Sevoflurane affected cell biological activities in OC by regulating JNK and p38 MAPK signaling pathway.

Abstract
Background Ovarian cancer is one of the leading causes of female death worldwide, with a poor prognosis of advanced patients. Sevoflurane, a volatile anesthetic commonly used in clinical operations, has been reported to have anti-cancer activity against some tumors. In the present study, we aimed to investigate the effects of sevoflurane on the progression of ovarian cancer and its potential mechanism. Methods The effects of sevoflurane on ovarian cancer cell viability, proliferation, migration, invasion, cell cycle, and apoptosis were determined by functional experiments in vitro. Gelatin zymography assay was performed to examine MMP9 activity. In vivo, sevoflurane was injected into mice of transplantation tumor with SKOV3 cells or with pcDNA-STC1 treated SKOV3 cells. Results We found that sevoflurane inhibited the viability of SKOV3 and OVCAR3 cells in a dose-dependent manner, and colony formation assay revealed that sevoflurane inhibited ovarian cancer cell colony-formation abilities. Additionally, sevoflurane could induce cell cycle arrest and promote cell apoptosis in SKOV3 and OVCAR3 cells. Moreover, sevoflurane reduced the migration and invasion abilities of SKOV3 and OVCAR3 cells, as well as the MMP-9 activity. Furthermore, sevoflurane down-regulated the expression of stanniocalcin 1 (STC1), and up-regulation of STC1 could reverse the inhibitory effects of sevoflurane on cell proliferation and invasion. In vivo, sevoflurane significantly inhibited the tumor growth, which was be reversed by STC1 overexpression. Conclusion These data reveal an anti-cancer activity of sevoflurane on the growth and invasion of ovarian cancer, which may be through down-regulating STC1. Sevoflurane may serve as a potential anti-cancer agent in ovarian cancer therapy.

Abstract
Background Osteosarcoma is one of the most common primary bone cancers with predominant occurrence in children and adolescents. This study aimed to determine the effects of sevoflurane treatment on the osteosarcoma progression and to explore the underlying molecular mechanisms. Materials and methods The mRNA and protein expression levels were determined by qPCR and Western blot, respectively. Osteosarcoma cell proliferation, apoptosis and invasion were determined by MTT, caspase-3 activity, colony formation and Transwell invasion assays, respectively. The interaction between miR-203 and WNT2B 3' untranslated region was confirmed by luciferase reporter assay. Results Sevoflurane treatment for 6 hrs concentration-dependently suppressed cell viability, increased caspase-3 activity and up-regulated miR-203 expression in both U2OS and MG63 cells. MiR-203 overexpression suppressed cell viability, increased caspase-3 activity and suppressed cell growth and invasion of osteosarcoma cells. In addition, miR-203 knockdown attenuated the tumor-suppressive effects of sevoflurane treatment on osteosarcoma cells. Mechanistic studies showed that miR-203 repressed the expression of WNT2B in U2OS cells, and inhibition of miR-203 attenuated the suppressive effects of sevoflurane on WNT2B expression. More importantly, WNT2B overexpression attenuated the effects of sevoflurane treatment on cell viability, caspase-3 activity, cell growth and invasion of U2OS cells. MiR-203 overexpression suppressed Wnt/β-catenin signalling. Similarly, sevoflurane suppressed the activity of Wnt/β-catenin signalling, which was partially reversed by miR-203 knockdown and WTN2B overexpression. Conclusion Our data showed the tumor-suppressive effects of sevoflurane on osteosarcoma cells, and mechanistic studies revealed that sevoflurane inhibited osteosarcoma cell proliferation and invasion partly via targeting the miR-203/WNT2B/Wnt/β-catenin axis.

JOURNAL OF EXPERIMENTAL & CLINICAL CANCER RESEARCH : CR 2018; 37:235. [PMID: 30241553 PMCID: PMC6150978 DOI: 10.1186/s13046-018-0906-0] [Citation(s) in RCA: 48] [Impact Index Per Article: 8.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/08/2018] [Accepted: 09/09/2018] [Indexed: 01/09/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND We previously reported that miR-203 functions as a tumor suppressor in ovarian cancer cells by directly targeting transcription factor Snai2 and inhibiting epithelial to mesenchymal transition (EMT), whereas BIRC5/survivin promotes EMT. In this study, we tested our hypothesis that miR-203 inhibits ovarian tumor metastasis by suppressing EMT through targeting BIRC5, using an orthotopic ovarian cancer mouse model. METHODS We overexpressed miR-203 in ovarian cancer SKOV3 and OVCAR3 cells using a lentiviral vector and examined cell migration and invasion using transwell plates. The small molecule inhibitor, YM155, was used to inhibit survivin expression. miR-203-expressing and control SKOV3 cells were intrabursally injected into immunocompromised NSG female mice. Primary tumors in ovaries and metastatic tumors were collected to determine the expression of survivin and EMT markers using Western blot and immunostaining. RESULTS Overexpression of miR-203 inhibits EMT by targeting BIRC5 in ovarian cancer SKOV3 and OVCAR3 cells. miR-203 expression enhances the ability of the survivin inhibitor YM155 to reduce tumor cell migration and invasion in vitro. We further showed that miR-203 expression attenuated the TGFβ pathway in both SKOV3 and OVCAR3 cells. miR-203 expression also inhibited primary tumor growth in ovaries and metastatic tumors in multiple peritoneal organs including liver and spleen. CONCLUSION miR-203 inhibits ovarian tumor metastasis by targeting BIRC5/survivin and attenuating the TGFβ pathway.
