RESUMO
Objective:To evaluate the effect of dexmedetomidine on the thioredoxin-interacting protein (TXNIP)/apoptosis signal-regulated kinase 1 (ASK1) signaling pathway in a mouse model of intestinal ischemia-reperfusion (I/R).Methods:Thirty-two SPF healthy adult male C57BL/6J mice, aged 8-10 weeks, weighing 18-22 g, were divided into 4 groups ( n=8 each) using a random number table method: sham operation group (Sham group), intestinal I/R group (I/R group), TXNIP inhibitor resveratrol group (Res group) and dexmedetomidine group (Dex group). The mouse model of intestinal I/R injury was developed by clamping the superior mesenteric artery for 45 min followed by 120-min reperfusion in anesthetized animals. Resveratrol 30 mg/kg was intraperitoneally injected before developing the model in Res group, and dexmedetomidine 25 μg/kg was intraperitoneally injected at 30 min before ischemia in Dex group. Blood samples were collected by cardiac puncture at the end of 120-min reperfusion, then the mice were sacrificed, and the small intestine tissues were removed for microscopic examination and for determination of the serum diamine oxidase (DAO) concentration (by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay) and expression of TXNIP, ASK1 and cleaved-caspase-3 in small intestinal tissues (by Western blot). The apoptosis rate of intestinal epithelial cells was calculated. The intestinal damage was assessed and scored according to Chiu. Results:Compared with group Sham, the Chiu′s score, serum DAO concentrations and apoptosis rate of intestinal epithelial cells were significantly increased, and the expression of TXNIP, ASK-1 and cleaved-caspase-3 was up-regulated in group I/R ( P<0.05). Compared with group I/R, the Chiu′s score, serum DAO concentration and apoptosis rate of intestinal epithelial cells were significantly decreased, and the expression of TXNIP, ASK-1 and cleaved-caspase-3 was down-regulated in group Res ( P<0.05). Compared with I/R group, the Chiu′s score, serum DAO concentration and apoptosis rate of intestinal epithelial cells were significantly decreased, and the expression of TXNIP, ASK-1 and cleaved-caspase-3 was down-regulated in Dex group ( P<0.05). Conclusions:The mechanism by which dexmedetomidine alleviates intestinal I/R injury may be related to inhibition of the TXNIP/ASK1 signaling pathway and reduction of cell apoptosis in mice.
RESUMO
AIM: To explore schisandrin B (Sch B) pretreatment reduces intestinal ischemia reperfusion injury (IIRI) through inhibiting apoptosis by activation of Nrf2/HO-1 signing pathway in mice by network pharmacology and in vivo experiment. METHODS: (1) The targets of Sch B and IIRI were searched from online databases, Drawing Venn diagram to obtain the common target of them. Cytoscape software was imported to construct the protein-protein interaction (PPI) network to establish the "Drugs-Disease-core target gene" network. The mechanism of Sch B against IIRI was predicted through GO and KEGG enrichment analysis. (2) Thirty-six C57BL/6J mice were randomly divided into six groups (n = 6). The model of IIRI was established in four groups except the sham operation group. Three of the groups were pretreated with Sch B, Nrf2 inhibitor ML385, and Sch B + ML385, respectively. After the experiment, intestinal tissue samples were taken for HE staining, Chiu ' s score, apoptosis staining, immunohistochemistry (IHC), and immunoblotting (Western blot). RESULTS: A total of 412 Sch B related tar- gets, 2 166 IIRI related targets and 153 common targets were screened out through network pharmacology. There were 88 "Sch B-IIRI-core target gene" included NFE2L2 (Nrf2), HMOX1 (HO-1), BCL2, CASP3 (caspase 3), and so on. KEGG enrichment analysis screened 163 related pathways, apoptosis pathway ranked high showing that the pathway may play a key role in the treatment of IIRI by Sch B. The animal experiment had shown that Sch B reduced the Chiu's score and apoptotic while upregulating Nrf2, HO-1, Bcl-2 protein expression levels and Bcl-2/Bax, downregulating Bax, and cleaved caspase-3 expression levels, thereby reducing IIRI in mice, and that Nrf2 inhibitor ML385 reversed this process (P < 0.05). CONCLUSION: This study reveals that Sch B has the characteristics of multi-target and multi-pathway in the reduction of IIRI, and Sch B can reduce IIRI through inhibiting apoptosis by activation of Nrf2/ HO-1 pathway.

AIM: To verify the role of tetramethylpyrazine (TMP) in intestinal ischemia-reperfusion (I/ R) injury and its relationship with pyroptosis. METHODS: Thirty-six healthy SPF male C57BL / 6 mice, 8-12 weeks old, weighing 20-25 g, were divided into six groups randomized by table of random number (n = 6/group): Sham group (S1 group)Ischemia/reperfusion group (I/R1 group), I/R + TMP treatment group: 15 mg/kg (T15 group), 30 mg/kg (T30 group), 60 mg/kg (T60-1 group), 120 mg/kg (T120 group). In experiment 2, thirty healthy SPF male C57BL/6 mice were divided into five groups (n = 6/group): Sham group (S2 group), I/R group (I/ R2 group), I/R + dimethyl sulphoxide (DMSO) group (DMSO group), I/R + TMP (60 mg/kg) group (T60-2 group), and I/R + DMSO + TMP (60 mg/kg) + Nigericin sodium salt (NSS) group (T60+NSS group). I/R-induced intestinal injury was established by clamping the superior mesenteric artery for 45 minutes, followed by 120 minutes of reperfusion, while the sham group mice underwent isolation of superior mesenteric artery without clamping. An NLRP3 agonist NSS was dissolved in DMSO, was intraperitoneally injected (4 mg/kg) 60 minutes before ischemia. And DMSO group mice were intraperitoneally administered with corresponding DMSO. Different TMP dosage groups and T60+NSS group mice were intraperitoneally administered with TMP 30 minutes before ischemia. IL-1β and IL-18 concentrations in the intestine were measured at 120 minutes after reperfusion by ELISA. The pathological changes of the sections were observed by optical microscope, and the intestinal mucosal injury was evaluated by Chiu's score grading. Western blot was used to detect NLRP3, Caspase-1, and GSDMD in intestinal tissue. RESULTS: Statistically significant increase of Chiu's score, IL-1β, IL-18 concentrations in the I/R1 group were found as compared with S1 group (P<0.05). And compared with I / R1 group, Chiu's score and IL-1β, IL-18 concentrations in the T60-1, T120 groups were reduced (P<0.05). Moreover, Chiu's score in the T120 group was lower than that in the T60 group (P<0.05). We found a statistically significant increase of Chiu's score and IL-1β, IL-18 concentrations and the expression of NLRP3, GSDMD, caspase-1 in the I/R group (P<0.05) as compared with S2 group. Compared with I / R2 group, Chiu's score, IL-1β, IL-18 concentrations and NLRP3, GSDMD, caspase-1 expression in the T60-2 group was reduced (P<0.05). Compared with T60-2 group, Chiu's score, IL-1β, IL-18 concentrations and NLRP3, GSDMD, caspase-1 expression in the T60 + NSS group were upregulated (P<0.05). CONCLUSION: The protective effect of TMP against intestinal I / R injury was dose-dependent. And TMP can decrease pyroptosis mainly by inhibiting the activation of the NLRP3 inflammasome.

RESUMO
Autophagy is being increasingly recognized as an important regulator of intestinal ischemia-reperfusion(I/R)injury, but its exact role is still debated. Emerging evidence suggests that miR-146a-5p is involved in the initiation and development of I/R injury, but its role in intestinal I/R injury remains unclear. The present study generated an intestinal I/R mouse model and an oxygen glucose deprivation/reoxygenation (OGD/R) Caco-2 cell model and found that autophagy was increased and contributed to the intestinal injury and cell death induced by I/R and OGD/R. In addition, in both I/R and OGD/R models, the miR-146a-5p expression level was decreased and accompanied by an increase in TXNIP expression. By transfecting cells with an miR-146a-5p inhibitor or mimic, we observed that miR-146a-5p inhibits autophagy during OGD/R by targeting TXNIP; this was confirmed by the dual luciferase reporter gene assay. Additionally, through overexpression and knockdown cell lines, we established that TXNIP regulates autophagy during intestinal I/R via the PRKAA/mTOR pathway. The interaction between TXNIP and p-PRKAA was verified by immunofluorescence co-localization and immunoprecipitation assays. Moreover, we confirmed that TXNIP is indispensable for miR-146a-5p-mediated cell protection. Finally, we observed that miR-146a-5p overexpression inhibits autophagy and attenuates intestinal I/R injury via the PRKAA/mTOR pathway by targeting TXNIP in vivo. In conclusion, this study highlights the role of miR-146a-5p in regulating autophagy by targeting TXNIP, suggesting that miR-146a-5p may be a novel drug target for intestinal I/R therapy.

CONCLUSION: SIRT3 and its downstream SOD2 are involved in mediating the effect of attenuation of intestinal ischemia-reperfusion injury through inhibiting oxidative stress response by dexmedetomidine.
RESUMO
Short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs) are organic acids with no more than 6 carbon atoms produced during the anaerobic fermentation of dietary fiber in the intestinal tract, which can regulate intestinal flora, repair intestinal mucosal barrier, and reduce intestinal injury.Ischemia-reperfusion injury (IRI) is the main cause of various diseases, and the pathological mechanisms involved are intricate, among which inflammation, oxidative stress, apoptosis and autophagy are the most common. According to current studies, SCFAs can affect the occurrence and development of IRI in various organs by regulating different cell signal transduction. In this paper, the role and mechanism of SCFAs in alleviating tissue and organ ischemia-reperfusion injury were preliminarily summarized, providing theoretical reference for clinical prevention and treatment of IRI.

RESUMO
Butyrate is the main product of colonic and cecal microbiota in the fermentation of dietary fiber and some amino acids, which can reduce intestinal inflammation, regulate the balance of intestinal flora, and improve intestinal mucosal barrier. In recent years, a large number of studies at home and abroad have shown that butyrate plays a role in intestinal diseases such as inflammatory bowel disease, irritable bowel syndrome, intestinal ischemia-reperfusion injury, colorectal cancer and short bowel syndrome. This article reviewed the research progress on role and mechanism of butyrate in intestinal diseases.
RESUMO
Objective:To investigate the mechanism of dexmedetomidine preventing sevoflurane-indued neurotoxicity to neonatal mice and the relationship with Tau phosphorylation.Methods:Seventy-two SPF healthy newly born C57BL/6 wild-type mice of both sexes, aged 6 days, were divided into 4 groups ( n=18 each) using a random number table method: normal control group (C group), dexmedetomidine control group (D group), sevoflurane-induced neurotoxicity group (S group), and dexmedetomidine prevention group (SD group). Mice inhaled 2.1%-3.3% sevoflurane 2 h daily on postnatal days 6, 9 and 12, and dexmedetomidine 10 μg/kg was intraperitoneally injected at 30 min before anesthesia in group SD.Six mice were randomly selected after the end of injection, and the hippocampus tissues were removed for determination of the expression of phosphorylated Tau protein (AT8) and Tau46 protein at Tau-PS202 and Tau-PT205 sites by Western blot.The new object recognition test was performed on postnatal days 29-30 (the discrimination ratio of new objects was observed), and the Morris water maze test was performed from postnatal day 31 to 37 (the escape latency and the times of crossing the platform were observed). The hippocampi were harvested under anesthesia to detect the expression of postsynapatic density-95 by Western blot. Results:Compared with group C, the expression of AT8 was significantly up-regulated, the expression of PSD-95 was down-regulated, the number of crossing the platform and new object discrimination ratio were decreased ( P<0.05), and no significant change was found in Tau46 protein expression or escape latency in group S ( P>0.05). There was no significant difference in the indexes mentioned above between group D and group SD ( P>0.05). Compared with group S, the expression of AT8 was significantly down-regulated, the expression of postsynapatic density-95 was up-regulated, the number of crossing the platform and new object discrimination ratio were increased ( P<0.05), and no significant change was found in Tau46 protein expression and escape latency in group SD ( P>0.05). Conclusions:The mechanism of dexmedetomidine preventing sevoflurane-induced neurotoxicity to neonatal mice is related to the inhibition of Tau phosphorylation.
RESUMO
AIM: To observe the anesthetic effect of nalbuphine used in ultrasound-guided transvaginal oocyte retrieval and its effect on embryo quality and pregnancy outcome. METHODS: Four-hundred patients who underwent ultrasound-guided transvaginal oocyte retrieval were randomly divided into two groups (n=200): nalbuphine group (N group) and control group (C group). The patients were in the bladder lithotomy position. Patients in N group were given nalbuphine 0.1 mg/kg intravenously 2 minutes before induction of anesthesia, patients in C group were given normal saline intravenously, and patients in both groups were induced with propofol 1.5 mg/kg. The patients were kept breathing spontaneously, and they were given intravenous injections of propofol (2 mg•kg
RESUMO
AIM: To evaluate the effect of SLC7A11 in dexmedetomidine pretreatment induced reduction of ferroptosis caused by intestinal ischemia-reperfusion (II/R) injury in mice. METHODS: Twenty-four healthy meal SPF C57BL/6J mice, aged 8 weeks, weighing 22-25 g, were randomly divided into Sham operation group (S group), intestinal I/R group (II/R group), dexmedetomidine group (DEX group) and dexmedetomidine plus SLC7A11 inhibitior group (DIKE group), with 6 mice in each group. Intestinal ischemia was induced by occluding the superior mesenteric artery for 45 min followed by 30 min of reperfusion to establish the model of II/R injury. In DEX and DIKE groups, Dexmedetomidine 25 μg/kg was intraperitoneally injected at 30 min before clamping the superior mesenteric artery. The same amount of normal saline was injected in the S group and the II/R group. In DIKE group, SLC7A11 inhibitior Imidazole ketone erastin 50 mg/kg was intraperitoneally injected at 90 min before ischemia. Mice were sacrificed 30 min after reperfusion, and small intestinal tissues in length 5 cm away from the ileocecal valvum were obtained for microscopic examination of pathological changes of intestinal mucosa and for determination of contents of Fe
RESUMO
microRNA (miRNA) is a class of 19-25 nucleotide highly conserved single-stranded non-coding RNA that is widely found in plants and animals. Their biological effect is to negatively regulate target gene expression at the post-transcriptional level through complementary pairing with mRNA. Intestinal I/R injury is more common in clinical practice, and ischemia-reperfusion will cause intestinal mucosal barrier damage, and it is related to the occurrence, development, and outcome of many clinical diseases. Many studies have shown that the miRNA subtype genes miR-34a-5p, miR-351-5p, miR-682, miR-21, etc. affect the intestinal I/R injury process to some extent by regulating a series of signal transduction. Therefore, revealing the role of miRNA in intestinal I/R injury and providing a new direction for the diagnosis and treatment of I/R.
RESUMO
Objective:To evaluate the role of nuclear factor NF-E2-related factor 2 (Nrf2)/heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1) signaling pathway in atorvastatin-induced reduction of intestinal ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) injury in mice.Methods:Twenty-four healthy male C57BL/6 mice, aged 6-8 weeks, weighing 18-22 g, were divide into 4 groups ( n=6 each) using a random number table method: sham operation group (S group), intestinal I/R group (I/R group), atorvastatin group (ATV group) and atorvastatin+ Nrf2 inhibitor ML385 group (AM group). Intestinal I/R was produced by occlusion of superior mesenteric artery for 45 min followed by reperfusion.In ATV and AM groups, atorvastatin 10 mg/kg was given by gavage for 3 consecutive days daily at 3 day before establishment of the model, while the equal volume of normal saline was given by gavage in S and I/R groups.Nrf2 inhibitor ML385 30 mg/kg was intraperitoneally injected at 1 h before establishment of the model in group AM.The mice were sacrificed at 2 h of reperfusion, and intestine tissues were obtained for examination of the pathological changes of intestinal tissues (with a light microscope) which were scored according to Chiu, for determination of wet/dry weight ratio (W/D ratio), for detection of the activity of superoxide dismutase (SOD) and content of malondialdehyde (MDA) (by xanthine oxidase method and thiobarbituric acid condensation method) and for determination of the expression of Nrf2 and HO-1 (by Western blot). Results:Compared with S group, the Chiu score, W/D ratio and MDA content were significantly increased, the activity of SOD was decreased, and the expression of Nrf2 and HO-1 was up-regulated in the other 3 groups ( P<0.05). Compared with the group I/R, the Chiu score, W/D ratio and MDA content were significantly decreased, the SOD activity was increased, and the expression of Nrf2 and HO-1 was up-regulated ( P<0.05), and the pathological changes were significantly attenuated in group ATV, and no significant change was found in the parameters mentioned above in AM group ( P>0.05). Compared with the group ATV, the Chiu score, W/D ratio and MDA content were significantly increased, the SOD activity was decreased, the expression of Nrf2 and HO-1 was decreased ( P<0.05), and the pathological changes were significantly aggravated in group AM. Conclusion:The mechanism by which atorvastatin reduces intestinal I/R injury is related to activating Nrf2/HO-1 signaling pathway in mice.
