RESUMO

CONTEXT: Polyporus polysaccharide (PPS), the leading bioactive ingredient extracted from Polyporus umbellatus (Pers.) Fr. (Polyporaceae), has been demonstrated to exert anti-bladder cancer and immunomodulatory functions in macrophages. OBJECTIVE: To explore the effects of homogeneous Polyporus polysaccharide (HPP) on the proliferation and autophagy of bladder cancer cells co-cultured with macrophages. MATERIALS AND METHODS: MB49 bladder cancer cells and RAW264.7 macrophages were co-cultured with or without HPP intervention (50, 100, or 200 µg/mL) for 24 h. The cell counting kit-8 (CCK-8) assay and 5-ethynyl-2″-deoxyuridine (EdU) staining evaluated MB49 cell proliferation. Monodansylcadaverine (MDC) staining and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) observed autophagosomes. Western blotting detected the expression levels of autophagy-related proteins and PI3K/Akt/mTOR pathway proteins. RESULTS: HPP inhibited the proliferation of MB49 cells co-cultured with RAW264.7 cells but not MB49 cells alone. HPP altered the expression of autophagy-related proteins and promoted the formation of autophagosomes in MB49 cells in the co-culture system. Autophagy inhibitors 3-methyladenine (3-MA) and chloroquine (CQ) not only antagonized HPP-induced autophagy but also attenuated the inhibitory effects of HPP on MB49 cell proliferation in the co-culture system. HPP or RAW264.7 alone was not sufficient to induce autophagy in MB49 cells. In addition, HPP suppressed the protein expression of the PI3K/Akt/mTOR pathway in MB49 cells in the co-culture system. DISCUSSION AND CONCLUSIONS: HPP induced bladder cancer cell autophagy by regulating macrophages in the co-culture system, resulting in the inhibition of cancer cell proliferation. The PI3K/Akt/mTOR pathway was involved in HPP-induced autophagy in the co-culture system.

RESUMO

Background: Previous studies have suggested that dexmedetomidine may have a protective effect on renal function. However, it is currently unclear whether perioperative dexmedetomidine administration is associated with postoperative acute kidney injury (AKI) incidence risk in hypertensive patients undergoing non-cardiac surgery. Methods: This investigation was a retrospective cohort study. Hypertensive patients undergoing non-cardiac surgery in Third Xiangya Hospital of Central South University from June 2018 to December 2019 were included. The relevant data were extracted through electronic cases. The univariable analysis identified demographic, preoperative laboratory, and intraoperative factors associated with acute kidney injury. Multivariable stepwise logistic regression was used to assess the association between perioperative dexmedetomidine administration and postoperative acute kidney injury after adjusting for interference factors. In addition, we further performed sensitivity analyses in four subgroups to further validate the robustness of the results. Results: A total of 5769 patients were included in this study, with a 7.66% incidence of postoperative acute kidney injury. The incidence of postoperative acute kidney injury was lower in the dexmedetomidine-administered group than in the control group (4.12% vs. 8.06%, p < 0.001). In the multivariable stepwise logistic regression analysis, perioperative dexmedetomidine administration significantly reduced the risk of postoperative acute kidney injury after adjusting for interference factors [odds ratio (OR) = 0.56, 95% confidence interval (CI): 0.36-0.87, p = 0.010]. In addition, sensitivity analysis in four subgroups indicated parallel findings: i) eGRF <90 mL/min·1.73/m2 subgroup (OR = 0.40, 95% CI: 0.19-0.84, p = 0.016), ii) intraoperative blood loss <1000 mL subgroup (OR = 0.58, 95% CI: 0.36-0.94, p = 0.025), iii) non-diabetes subgroup (OR = 0.51, 95% CI: 0.29-0.89, p = 0.018), and iv) older subgroup (OR = 0.55, 95% CI: 0.32-0.93, p = 0.027). Conclusion: In conclusion, our study suggests that perioperative dexmedetomidine administration is associated with lower risk and less severity of postoperative acute kidney injury in hypertensive individuals undergoing non-cardiac surgery. Therefore, future large-scale RCT studies are necessary to validate this benefit.

RESUMO

Background: Dexmedetomidine is a commonly used clinical sedative; however, the drug response varies among individuals. Thus, the purpose of this study was to explore the association between dexmedetomidine response and gene polymorphisms related to drug-metabolizing enzymes and drug response (CYP2A6, UGT2B10, UGT1A4, ADRA2A, ADRA2B, ADRA2C, GABRA1, GABRB2, and GLRA1). Methods: This study was a prospective cohort study. A total of 194 female patients aged 18-60 years, American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) score I-II, who underwent laparoscopy at the Third Xiangya Hospital of Central South University, were included. The sedative effect was assessed every 2 min using the Ramsay score, and the patient's heart rate decrease within 20 min was recorded. Peripheral blood was collected from each participant to identify genetic variants in the candidate genes of metabolic and drug effects using the Sequenom MassARRAY® platform. Furthermore, additional peripheral blood samples were collected from the first 99 participants at multiple time points after dexmedetomidine infusion to perform dexmedetomidine pharmacokinetic analysis by Phoenix® WinNonlin 7.0 software. Results: Carriers of the minor allele (C) of CYP2A6 rs28399433 had lower metabolic enzyme efficiency and higher plasma concentrations of dexmedetomidine. In addition, the participants were divided into dexmedetomidine sensitive or dexmedetomidine tolerant groups based on whether they had a Ramsay score of at least four within 20 min, and CYP2A6 rs28399433 was identified to have a significant influence on the dexmedetomidine sedation sensitivity by logistic regression with Plink software [p = 0.003, OR (95% CI): 0.27 (0.11-0.65)]. C allele carriers were more sensitive to the sedative effects of dexmedetomidine than A allele carriers. GABRA2 rs279847 polymorphism was significantly associated with the degree of the heart rate decrease. In particular, individuals with the GG genotype had a 4-fold higher risk of heart rate abnormality than carriers of the T allele (OR = 4.32, 95% CI: 1.96-9.50, p = 0.00027). Conclusion: CYP2A6 rs28399433 polymorphism affects the metabolic rate of dexmedetomidine and is associated with susceptibility to the sedative effects of dexmedetomidine; GABRA2 rs279847 polymorphism is significantly associated with the degree of the heart rate decrease.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Polyporus polysaccharide (PPS), an active ingredient of traditional Chinese medicinal Polyporus umbellatus, has multiple biological functions, such as anti-cancer, immune-regulating and hepatoprotective activities. The purpose of this study was to investigate the mechanism of homogeneous polyporus polysaccharide (HPP) activated macrophages in the treatment of bladder cancer. METHODS: 100 ng/mL Phorbol myristate acetate (PMA) was used to induce THP-1 human leukemic cells as a macrophage model. Then macrophages derived from THP-1 were treated with different concentrations of HPP (1, 10 and 100 µg/mL). Flow cytometry and RT-PCR were used to detected the expression of CD16, CD23, CD86, CD40 and interleukin (IL)-Iß, iNOS mRNA. ELISA was used to test the change of IL-1ß and TNF-α in macrophage after the treatment with HPP. The conditioned medium from HPP-polarized macrophages was used to detect the effect of activated macrophages on bladder cancer. MTT assay, 5-ethynyl-2'-deoxyuridine assay, flow cytometry, Transwell assay, and Western blot analysis were used to detect the effects of polarized macrophages on the viability, proliferation, apoptosis, and migration of bladder cancer cells. Western blot was also used to analysis the change of JAK2/NF-κB pathway protein. RESULTS: HPP promoted the expression of pro-inflammatory factors, such as IL-Iß, TNF-α and iNOS, and surface molecules CD86, CD16, CD23, and CD40 in macrophages and then polarized macrophages to M1 type. Results demonstrated that activated macrophages inhibited the proliferation of bladder cancer cells, regulated their apoptosis, and inhibited migration and epithelial-mesenchymal transformation (EMT). JAK2/NF-κB pathways were downregulated in the anti-bladder cancer process of activated macrophages. CONCLUSION: The findings indicated that HPP inhibited the proliferation and progression of bladder cancer by the polarization of macrophages to M1 type, and JAK2/NF-κB pathway was downregulated in the process of anti-bladder cancer.
