Abstract
Diabetic-metabolic syndrome (MetS-D) has a high prevalence worldwide, in which an association with the rupture of the intestinal epithelium barrier function (IEBF) has been pointed out, but the functional and morphological properties are still not well understood. This study aimed to evaluate the impact of acute hyperglycemia diabetes on intestinal tight junction proteins, metabolic failure, intestinal ion and water transports, and IEBF parameters. Diabetes was induced in male Rattus norvegicus (200-310 g) with 0.5 mL of streptozotocin (70 mg/kg). Glycemic and clinical parameters were evaluated every 7 days, and intestinal parameters were evaluated on the 14th day. The MetS-D animals showed a clinical pattern of hyperglycemia, with increases in the area of villi and crypts, lactulose:mannitol ratio, myeloperoxidase (MPO) activity, and intestinal tissue concentrations of malondialdehyde (MDA), but showed a reduction in reduced glutathione (GSH) when these parameters were compared to the control. The MetS-D group had increased secretion of Na+, K+, Cl-, and water compared to the control group in ileal tissue. Furthermore, we observed a reduction in mRNA transcript of claudin-2, claudin-15, and NHE3 and increases of SGLT-1 and ZO-1 in the MetS-D group. These results showed that MetS-D triggered intestinal tissue inflammation, oxidative stress, complex alterations in gene regulatory protein transcriptions of intestinal transporters and tight junctions, damaging the IEBF and causing hydroelectrolyte secretion.

Abstract
Autophagy is a cellular catabolic process characterized by the formation of double-membrane autophagosomes. Transmission electron microscopy is the most rigorous method to clearly visualize autophagic engulfment and degradation. A large number of studies have shown that autophagy is closely related to the digestion, secretion, and regeneration of gastrointestinal (GI) cells. However, the role of autophagy in GI diseases remains controversial. This article focuses on the morphological and biochemical characteristics of autophagy in GI diseases, in order to provide new ideas for their diagnosis and treatment.

Eur J Pharmacol 2023; 959:176090. [PMID: 37778612 DOI: 10.1016/j.ejphar.2023.176090] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/07/2023] [Revised: 09/14/2023] [Accepted: 09/28/2023] [Indexed: 10/03/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Intestinal ischemia/reperfusion injury (IRI) is a multifactorial, complex pathophysiological process in clinical settings. In recent years, intestinal IRI has received increasing attention due to increased morbidity and mortality. To date, there are no effective treatments. Dexmedetomidine (DEX), a highly selective α2-adrenergic receptor agonist, has been demonstrated to be effective against intestinal IRI. In this systematic review and meta-analysis, we evaluated the efficacy and potential mechanisms of DEX as a treatment for intestinal IRI in animal models. METHODS Five databases (PubMed, Embase, Web of Science, Cochrane Library, and Scopus) were searched until March 15, 2023. Using the SYRCLE risk bias tool, we assessed methodological quality. Statistical analysis was conducted using STATA 12 and R 4.2.2. We analyzed the related outcomes (mucosa damage-related indicators; inflammation-relevant markers, oxidative stress markers) relied on the fixed or random-effects models. RESULTS There were 15 articles including 18 studies included, and 309 animals were involved in the studies. Compared to the model groups, DEX improved intestinal IRI. DEX decreased Chiu's score and serum diamine oxidase (DAO) level. DEX reduced the level of inflammation-relevant markers (interleukin (IL)-1β, IL-6, tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α). DEX also improved oxidative stress (decreased malondialdehyde (MDA), increased superoxide dismutase (SOD)). CONCLUSIONS DEX's effectiveness in ameliorating intestinal IRI has been demonstrated in animal models. Antioxidation, anti-inflammation, anti-apoptotic, anti-pyroptosis, anti-ferroptosis, enhancing mitophagy, reshaping the gut microbiota, and gut barrier protection are possible mechanisms. However, in light of the heterogeneity and methodological quality of these studies, further well-designed preclinical studies are warranted before clinical implication.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Intestinal diseases, a leading global cause of mortality and morbidity, carry a substantial socioeconomic burden. Small and large intestines play pivotal roles in gastrointestinal physiology and food digestion. Pathological conditions, such as gut dysbiosis, inflammation, cancer, therapy-related complications, ulcers, and ischemia, necessitate the urgent exploration of safe and effective complementary therapeutic strategies for optimal intestinal health. AREAS COVERED This article evaluates the potential therapeutic effects of melatonin, a molecule with a wide range of physiological actions, on intestinal diseases including inflammatory bowel disease, irritable bowel syndrome, colon cancer, gastric/duodenal ulcers and other intestinal disorders. EXPERT OPINION Due to anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties as well as various biological actions, melatonin could be a therapeutic option for improving digestive disorders. However, more researches are needed to fully understand the potential benefits and risks of using melatonin for digestive disorders.

Abstract
Background Intestinal ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) injury is a serious condition with unacceptable mortality rates. Our previous study revealed a protective effect of dexmedetomidine (DEX) on intestinal I/R injury, but its underlying mechanism remains unclear. Gut microbiota imbalance is associated with the progression of I/R injury. We hypothesized that DEX would attenuate intestinal I/R injury via modulating gut microbiota. Methods An I/R injury model was established in C57BL/6 mice in the presence or absence of DEX preconditioning. Some mice were treated with antibiotics to deplete intestinal bacteria. Fecal microbiota transplantation (FMT) was performed by transplanting the feces of DEX-pretreated mice into a new batch of I/R mice. We analyzed the expression of Bacteroidetes and Firmicutes in feces, survival rate, and inflammatory cytokines. Results DEX reversed I/R-induced bacterial abnormalities by increasing the ratio of Firmicutes to Bacteroidetes [DEX + I/R 3.02±0.36 vs. normal saline (NS) + I/R 0.82±0.15; 95% CI: 0.80-3.60; P<0.05] and was accompanied by increased 72-hour survival (0.40±0.16 vs. 0.10±0.09; P<0.05). The protective effect of DEX did not significantly differ from that of DEX + antibiotics. Furthermore, the bacteria of the DEX-pretreated mice decreased the release of inflammatory factors. Conclusions This study revealed that DEX can alleviate intestinal I/R injury through a microbiota-related mechanism, providing a potential avenue for the management of intestinal I/R injury.

Abstract
Intestinal ischemia–reperfusion (IIR) is a life-threatening clinical event with damaging signals whose origin and contents are unclear. Here we observe that IIR significantly affect the metabolic profiles of most organs by unbiased organ-wide metabolic analysis of gut contents, blood, and fifteen organs in rats (n = 29). Remarkably, correlations between gut content metabolic profiles and those of other organs are the most significant. Gut contents are also the only ones to show dynamic correlations during IIR. Additionally, according to targeted metabolomics analysis, several neurotransmitters are considerably altered in the gut during IIR, and displayed noteworthy correlations with remote organs. Likewise, metagenomics analysis (n = 35) confirm the effects of IIR on gut microbiota, and identify key species fundamental to the changes in gut metabolites, particularly neurotransmitters. Our multi-omics results establish key roles of gut contents in IIR induced remote injury and provide clues for future exploration. Die Dai et al. evaluate changes in the metabolomic and gut microbiome in response to experimental intestinal ischemia reperfusion (IIR) injury in rats. Their results provide further insight into how gut contents contribute to widespread injury in IIR patients.

Abstract
Background Intestinal ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury is a common tissue-organ damage occurring in surgical practice. This study aims to comprehensively review the collaboration and impact of countries, institutions, authors, subject areas, journals, keywords, and critical literature on intestinal I/R injury from a bibliometric perspective, and to assess the evolution of clustering of knowledge structures and identify hot trends and emerging topics. Methods Articles and reviews related to intestinal I/R were retrieved through subject search from Web of Science Core Collection. Bibliometric analyses were conducted on Excel 365, CiteSpace, VOSviewer, and Bibliometrix (R-Tool of R-Studio). Results A total of 1069 articles and reviews were included from 2004 to 2022. The number of articles on intestinal I/R injury gradually plateaued, but the number of citations increased. These publications were mainly from 985 institutions in 46 countries, led by China and the United States. Liu Kx published the most papers, while Chiu Cj had the largest number of co-citations. Analysis of the journals with the most outputs showed that most journals focused on surgical sciences, cell biology, and immunology. Macroscopic sketch and microscopic characterization of the entire knowledge domain were achieved through co-citation analysis. The roles of cell death, exosomes, intestinal flora, and anesthetics in intestinal I/R injury are the current and developing research focuses. The keywords "dexmedetomidine", "proliferation", and "ferroptosis" may also become new trends and focus of future research. Conclusion This study comprehensively reviews the research on intestinal I/R injury using bibliometric and visualization methods, and will help scholars better understand the dynamic evolution of intestinal I/R injury and provide directions for future research.

Abstract
Ischemia-reperfusion injury (IRI) is defined as the total combined damage that occurs during a period of ischemia and following the recovery of blood flow. Oxidative stress, mitochondrial dysfunction, and an inflammatory response are factors contributing to IRI-related damage that can each result in cell death. Irisin is a polypeptide that is proteolytically cleaved from the extracellular domain of fibronectin type III domain-containing protein 5 (FNDC5). Irisin acts as a myokine that potentially mediates beneficial effects of exercise by reducing oxidative stress, improving mitochondrial fitness, and suppressing inflammation. The existing literature also suggests a possible link between irisin and IRI, involving mechanisms similar to those associated with exercise. This article will review the pathogenesis of IRI and the potential benefits and current limitations of irisin as a therapeutic strategy for IRI, while highlighting the mechanistic correlations between irisin and IRI.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Mitophagy is considered to be a key mechanism in the pathogenesis of intestinal ischaemic reperfusion (IR) injury. NOD-like receptor X1 (NLRX1) is located in the mitochondria and is highly expressed in the intestine, and is known to modulate ROS production, mitochondrial damage, autophagy and apoptosis. However, the function of NLRX1 in intestinal IR injury is unclear. MATERIALS AND METHODS NLRX1 in rats with IR injury or in IEC-6 cells with hypoxia reoxygenation (HR) injury were measured by Western blotting, real-time PCR and immunohistochemistry. The function of NLRX1-FUNDC1-NIPSNAP1/NIPSNAP2 axis in mitochondrial homeostasis and cell apoptosis were assessed in vitro. RESULTS NLRX1 is significantly downregulated following intestinal IR injury. In vivo studies showed that rats overexpressing NLRX1 exhibited resistance against intestinal IR injury and mitochondrial dysfunction. These beneficial effects of NLRX1 overexpression were dependent on mitophagy activation. Functional studies showed that HR injury reduced NLRX1 expression, which promoted phosphorylation of FUN14 domain-containing 1 (FUNDC1). Based on immunoprecipitation studies, it was evident that phosphorylated FUNDC1 could not interact with the mitophagy signalling proteins NIPSNAP1 and NIPSNAP2 on the outer membrane of damaged mitochondria, which failed to launch the mitophagy process, resulting in the accumulation of damaged mitochondria and epithelial apoptosis. CONCLUSIONS NLRX1 regulates mitophagy via FUNDC1-NIPSNAP1/NIPSNAP2 signalling pathway. Thus, this study provides a potential target for the development of a therapeutic strategy for intestinal IR injury.
