Chronic exposure to (2 R,6 R)-hydroxynorketamine induces developmental neurotoxicity in hESC-derived cerebral organoids. JOURNAL OF HAZARDOUS MATERIALS 2023; 453:131379. [PMID: 37054645 DOI: 10.1016/j.jhazmat.2023.131379] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/12/2022] [Revised: 03/25/2023] [Accepted: 04/04/2023] [Indexed: 05/03/2023]
Abstract
(R,S)-ketamine (ketamine) has been increasingly used recreationally and medicinally worldwide; however, it cannot be removed by conventional wastewater treatment plants. Both ketamine and its metabolite norketamine have been frequently detected to a significant degree in effluents, aquatic, and even atmospheric environments, which may pose risks to organisms and humans via drinking water and aerosols. Ketamine has been shown to affect the brain development of unborn babies, while it is still elusive whether (2 R,6 R)-hydroxynorketamine (HNK) induces similar neurotoxicity. Here, we investigated the neurotoxic effect of (2 R,6 R)-HNK exposure at the early stages of gestation by applying human cerebral organoids derived from human embryonic stem cells (hESCs). Short-term (2 R,6 R)-HNK exposure did not significantly affect the development of cerebral organoids, but chronic high-concentration (2 R,6 R)-HNK exposure at day 16 inhibited the expansion of organoids by suppressing the proliferation and augmentation of neural precursor cells (NPCs). Notably, the division mode of apical radial glia was unexpectedly switched from vertical to horizontal division planes following chronic (2 R,6 R)-HNK exposure in cerebral organoids. Chronic (2 R,6 R)-HNK exposure at day 44 mainly inhibited the differentiation but not the proliferation of NPCs. Overall, our findings indicate that (2 R,6 R)-HNK administration leads to the abnormal development of cortical organoids, which may be mediated by inhibiting HDAC2. Future clinical studies are needed to explore the neurotoxic effects of (2 R,6 R)-HNK on the early development of the human brain.

Abstract
Ketamine is widely used in infants and children for anesthesia; both anesthetic and sub-anesthetic doses of ketamine have been reported to preferentially inhibit the GABAergic neurons. Medium spiny neurons (MSNs), the GABAergic projection neurons in the striatum, are vulnerable to anesthetic exposure in the newborn brain. Growth of dendrites requires a deacetylase to remove acetyl from tubulin in the growth cone to destabilize the tubulin. Histone deacetylase 6 (HDAC6) affects microtubule dynamics, which are involved in neurite elongation. In this study we used a human induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs)-derived striatal GABA neuron system to investigate the effects of ketamine on HDAC6 and the morphological development of MSNs. We showed that exposure to ketamine (1-500 μM) decreased dendritic growth, dendrite branches, and dendritic spine density in MSNs in a time- and concentration-dependent manner. We revealed that ketamine treatment concentration-dependently inhibited the expression of HDAC6 or aberrantly translocated HDAC6 into the nucleus. Ketamine inhibition on HDAC6 resulted in α-tubulin hyperacetylation, consequently increasing the stability of microtubules and delaying the dendritic growth of MSNs. Finally, we showed that the effects of a single-dose exposure on MSNs were reversible and lasted for at least 10 days. This study reveals a novel role of HDAC6 as a regulator for ketamine-induced deficits in the morphological development of MSNs and provides an innovative method for prevention and treatment with respect to ketamine clinical applications.

Ketamine causes mitochondrial dysfunction in human induced pluripotent stem cell-derived neurons. PLoS One 2015; 10:e0128445.

Abstract
Purpose Ketamine toxicity has been demonstrated in nonhuman mammalian neurons. To study the toxic effect of ketamine on human neurons, an experimental model of cultured neurons from human induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) was examined, and the mechanism of its toxicity was investigated. Methods Human iPSC-derived dopaminergic neurons were treated with 0, 20, 100 or 500 μM ketamine for 6 and 24 h. Ketamine toxicity was evaluated by quantification of caspase 3/7 activity, reactive oxygen species (ROS) production, mitochondrial membrane potential, ATP concentration, neurotransmitter reuptake activity and NADH/NAD+ ratio. Mitochondrial morphological change was analyzed by transmission electron microscopy and confocal microscopy. Results Twenty-four-hour exposure of iPSC-derived neurons to 500 μM ketamine resulted in a 40% increase in caspase 3/7 activity (P < 0.01), 14% increase in ROS production (P < 0.01), and 81% reduction in mitochondrial membrane potential (P < 0.01), compared with untreated cells. Lower concentration of ketamine (100 μM) decreased the ATP level (22%, P < 0.01) and increased the NADH/NAD+ ratio (46%, P < 0.05) without caspase activation. Transmission electron microscopy showed enhanced mitochondrial fission and autophagocytosis at the 100 μM ketamine concentration, which suggests that mitochondrial dysfunction preceded ROS generation and caspase activation. Conclusions We established an in vitro model for assessing the neurotoxicity of ketamine in iPSC-derived neurons. The present data indicate that the initial mitochondrial dysfunction and autophagy may be related to its inhibitory effect on the mitochondrial electron transport system, which underlies ketamine-induced neural toxicity. Higher ketamine concentration can induce ROS generation and apoptosis in human neurons.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Growing evidence indicates that ketamine causes neurotoxicity in a variety of developing animal models, leading to a serious concern regarding the safety of pediatric anesthesia. However, if and how ketamine induces human neural cell toxicity is unknown. Recapitulation of neurogenesis from human embryonic stem cells (hESCs) in vitro allows investigation of the toxic effects of ketamine on neural stem cells (NSCs) and developing neurons, which is impossible to perform in humans. In the present study, we assessed the influence of ketamine on the hESC-derived NSCs and neurons. METHODS hESCs were directly differentiated into neurons via NSCs. NSCs and 2-week-old neurons were treated with varying doses of ketamine for different durations. NSC proliferation capacity was analyzed by Ki67 immunofluorescence staining and bromodeoxyuridine assay. Neuroapoptosis was analyzed by TUNEL staining and caspase 3 activity measurement. The mitochondria-related neuronal apoptosis pathway including mitochondrial membrane potential, cytochrome c distribution within cells, mitochondrial fission, and reactive oxygen species (ROS) production were also investigated. RESULTS Ketamine (100 µM) increased NSC proliferation after 6-hour exposure. However, significant neuronal apoptosis was only observed after 24 hours of ketamine treatment. In addition, ketamine decreased mitochondrial membrane potential and increased cytochrome c release from mitochondria into cytosol. Ketamine also enhanced mitochondrial fission as well as ROS production compared with no-treatment control. Importantly, Trolox, a ROS scavenger, significantly attenuated the increase of ketamine-induced ROS production and neuronal apoptosis. CONCLUSIONS These data for the first time demonstrate that (1) ketamine increases NSC proliferation and causes neuronal apoptosis; (2) mitochondria are involved in ketamine-induced neuronal toxicity, which can be prevented by Trolox; and (3) the stem cell-associated neurogenesis system may provide a simple and promising in vitro model for rapidly screening anesthetic neurotoxicity and studying the underlying mechanisms as well as prevention strategies to avoid this toxic effect.

Abstract
Ketamine is widely used for anesthesia in pediatric patients. Growing evidence indicates that ketamine causes neurotoxicity in a variety of developing animal models. Our understanding of anesthesia neurotoxicity in humans is currently limited by difficulties in obtaining neurons and performing developmental toxicity studies in fetal and pediatric populations. It may be possible to overcome these challenges by obtaining neurons from human embryonic stem cells (hESCs) in vitro. hESCs are able to replicate indefinitely and differentiate into every cell type. In this study, we investigated the toxic effect of ketamine on neurons differentiated from hESCs. Two-week-old neurons were treated with different doses and durations of ketamine with or without the reactive oxygen species (ROS) scavenger, Trolox. Cell viability, ultrastructure, mitochondrial membrane potential (ΔΨm), cytochrome c distribution within cells, apoptosis, and ROS production were evaluated. Here we show that ketamine induced ultrastructural abnormalities and dose- and time-dependently caused cell death. In addition, ketamine decreased ΔΨm and increased cytochrome c release from mitochondria. Ketamine also increased ROS production and induced differential expression of oxidative stress-related genes. Specifically, abnormal ultrastructural and ΔΨm changes occurred earlier than cell death in the ketamine-induced toxicity process. Furthermore, Trolox significantly decreased ROS generation and attenuated cell death caused by ketamine in a dose-dependent manner. In conclusion, this study illustrates that ketamine time- and dose-dependently induces human neurotoxicity at supraclinical concentrations via ROS-mediated mitochondrial apoptosis pathway and that these side effects can be prevented by the antioxidant agent Trolox. Thus, hESC-derived neurons might provide a promising tool for studying anesthetic-induced developmental neurotoxicity and prevention strategies.

Abstract
RATIONALE In patients, ketamine is a fast-acting antidepressant that can induce long-lasting symptom relief. Similar rapid effects have been reported in rodents, but reports of lasting effects are limited. OBJECTIVES We sought to extend past findings by examining dose-response curves that overlap with the individual doses previously reported to induce lasting effects in rodents and determining whether effects generalize to the tail suspension test (TST) and Balb/cJ mice. METHODS Using common tests of antidepressant efficacy we first confirmed our ability to detect the effects of desipramine, a well-characterized antidepressant drug. Next, we sought to determine whether two non-competitive NMDA antagonists, ketamine and MK-801, had long-lasting antidepressant-like effects in CD-1 mice, a strain that has often been used to demonstrate the short-term antidepressant-like effects of ketamine. Finally, we examined the short- and long-term effects of ketamine in a mouse strain that is more sensitive to antidepressant-like effects, Balb/cJ mice. RESULTS In CD-1 mice, desipramine treatment yielded significant short-term antidepressant-like effects in the TST and the forced swimming test (FST). However, no significant enduring effects of ketamine or MK-801 were observed 1 week later. Short-term effects of ketamine in the TST were observed in Balb/cJ mice, but lasting effects were absent 1 week later. CONCLUSIONS Although the TST and FST have been widely used to detect antidepressant-like effects in mice, they do not appear to be sensitive to long-lasting antidepressant-like effects of ketamine in mice and, therefore, do not model the therapeutic effects of ketamine that have been reported in humans with major depression.

Propofol preferentially relaxes neurokinin receptor-2-induced airway smooth muscle contraction in guinea pig trachea. Anesthesiology 2010; 112:1335-44.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Propofol is the anesthetic of choice for patients with reactive airway disease and is thought to reduce intubation- or irritant-induced bronchoconstriction by decreasing the cholinergic component of vagal nerve activation. However, additional neurotransmitters, including neurokinins, play a role in irritant-induced bronchoconstriction. We questioned the mechanistic assumption that the clinically recognized protective effect of propofol against irritant-induced bronchoconstriction during intubation was due to attenuation of airway cholinergic reflexes. METHODS Muscle force was continuously recorded from isolated guinea pig tracheal rings in organ baths. Rings were subjected to exogenous contractile agonists (acetylcholine, histamine, endothelin-1, substance P, acetyl-substance P, and neurokinin A) or to electrical field stimulation (EFS) to differentiate cholinergic or nonadrenergic, noncholinergic nerve-mediated contraction with or without cumulatively increasing concentrations of propofol, thiopental, etomidate, or ketamine. RESULTS Propofol did not attenuate the cholinergic component of EFS-induced contraction at clinically relevant concentrations. In contrast, propofol relaxed nonadrenergic, noncholinergic-mediated EFS contraction at concentrations within the clinical range (20-100 mum, n = 9; P < 0.05), and propofol was more potent against an exogenous selective neurokinin-2 receptor versus neurokinin-1 receptor agonist contraction (n = 6, P < 0.001). CONCLUSIONS Propofol, at clinically relevant concentrations, relaxes airway smooth muscle contracted by nonadrenergic, noncholinergic-mediated EFS and exogenous neurokinins but not contractions elicited by the cholinergic component of EFS. These findings suggest that the mechanism of protective effects of propofol against irritant-induced bronchoconstriction involves attenuation of tachykinins released from nonadrenergic, noncholinergic nerves acting at neurokinin-2 receptors on airway smooth muscle.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Drug abuse is common among adolescents and young adults. Although the consequences of intoxication are known, sequelae of drugs emerging on campuses and in clubs nationwide are not. We previously demonstrated that ketamine exposure results in lasting physiological abnormalities in mice. However, the extent to which these deficits reflect neuropathologic changes is not known. METHODS The current study examines neuropathologic changes following sub-anesthetic ketamine administration (5mg/kg i.p. x 5) to three inbred mouse strains. Stereologic quantification of silver stained nuclear and linear profiles as well as activated caspase-3 labeling was used to address: (1) whether or not ketamine increases excitotoxic and apoptotic cell death in hippocampal CA3 and (2) whether or not ketamine-induced cell death varies by genetic background. RESULTS Ketamine increased cell death in hippocampal CA3 of adult C3H, DBA2 and FVB mice. Neither silver staining nor activated caspase-3 labeling varied by strain, nor was there an interaction between ketamine-induced cell death and strain. CONCLUSIONS Ketamine exposure among young adults, even in limited amounts, may lead to irreversible changes in both brain function and structure. Loss of CA3 hippocampal cells may underlie persistent ERP changes previously shown in mice and possibly contribute to lasting cognitive deficits among ketamine abusers.

Abstract
UNLABELLED We compared the effect of S(+)-ketamine to remifentanil, both in combination with propofol, on the neurocognitive outcome after open-heart surgery in 106 patients. A battery of neurocognitive tests was administered before surgery and 1 and 10 wk after surgery. Fourteen patients (25%) in the control group and 10 patients (20%) in the S(+)-ketamine group had 2 or more tests with a cognitive deficit (decline by at least one preoperative SD of that test in all patients) 10 wk after surgery (P = 0.54). Z-scores were calculated for all tests. No significantly better performance could be detected in the S(+)-ketamine group, except for the Trailmaking B test 10 wk after surgery. We conclude that S(+)-ketamine offers no greater neuroprotection compared with remifentanil during open-heart surgery. IMPLICATIONS N-methyl-D-aspartic acid receptors play an important role during ischemic brain injury. We could not demonstrate that S(+)-ketamine resulted in greater neuroprotective effects compared with remifentanil during cardiopulmonary bypass procedures when both were combined with propofol.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To compare the effects of propofol and ketamine on systemic and pulmonary circulations in pediatric patients scheduled for elective cardiac catheterization. DESIGN Prospective, randomized, and blinded. SETTING University hospital. PARTICIPANTS Children (n = 41) undergoing cardiac catheterization. INTERVENTIONS All children were premedicated with oral midazolam 60 minutes before the procedure. Patients were separated into 3 groups according to shunts diagnosed by transthoracic echocardiography before the catheterization procedure: patients without cardiac shunt (Group I, n = 11), left-to-right shunt (Group II, n = 12), and right-to-left shunt (Group III, n = 18). A continuous infusion of propofol (100-200 microg/kg/min) or ketamine (50-75 microg/kg/min) was randomly started in all groups to obtain immobility during the procedure. Hemodynamic data, including systemic venous, pulmonary artery and vein, aortic saturations and pressures, were recorded; Qp/Qs were calculated. The same set of data was recorded before discontinuation of infusions at the end of the procedure. MEASUREMENTS AND MAIN RESULTS After the propofol administration, in all 3 patient groups propofol infusion was associated with significant decreases in systemic mean arterial pressure. In groups with cardiac shunts (Group II and III), propofol infusion significantly decreased systemic vascular resistance and increased systemic blood flow, whereas pulmonary vascular resistance and pulmonary blood flow did not change significantly. These changes resulted in decreased left-to-right shunting and increased right-to-left shunting; the pulmonary-to-systemic flow ratio decreased significantly. On the other hand, after ketamine infusion, systemic mean arterial pressure increased significantly in all patient groups, but pulmonary mean arterial pressure, systemic vascular resistance, and pulmonary vascular resistance were unchanged. CONCLUSION In children with cardiac shunting, the principal hemodynamic effect of propofol is a decrease in systemic vascular resistance. In children with intracardiac shunting, this results in an increase in right-to-left shunting and a decrease in the ratio of pulmonary to systemic blood flow, which may lead to arterial desaturation. Ketamine did not produce these changes. The authors suggested that during cardiac catheterization in children, both the anesthesiologists and cardiologists need to know that anesthetic agents can significantly alter the hemodynamic status in children with complex congenital heart defects and affect the results of hemodynamic calculations that are important for decision-making and treatment of these patients.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To evaluate the cardiovascular effects of a propofol-ketamine combination in patients undergoing coronary artery surgery. DESIGN Prospective, randomized study. SETTING Tertiary care teaching hospital, single center. PARTICIPANTS Seventy-eight adult patients. INTERVENTIONS Patients were randomly allocated to receive propofol-ketamine for induction and maintenance of anesthesia (n = 36) or fentanyl-enflurane (controls, n = 42). MEASUREMENTS AND MAIN RESULTS Hemodynamics and other variables were recorded during and after surgery and for 24 hours in the intensive care unit. Before cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB), there was similar incidence of treatment for hypotension (42% of patients in both groups), tachycardia (propofol-ketamine, 6%; controls, 5%), and myocardial ischemia (propofol-ketamine, 3%; controls, 12%). In the propofol-ketamine group, there was a decreased requirement for inotropic agents after CPB (22% of patients) compared with controls (49% of patients; p = 0.02). There was a reduced incidence of myocardial infarctions (creatine kinase myocardial band >133 U/L) in the propofol-ketamine group compared with the control group (0% v 14%; p = 0.02; Fisher's exact test). Patients in the propofol-ketamine group were more likely to have their tracheas extubated within 8 hours of arrival in the intensive care unit compared with controls (33% v 7%; p = 0.01; Cochran-Mantel-Haenzel test). CONCLUSIONS The propofol-ketamine combination was associated with a similar incidence of pre-CPB hypotension and ischemia, a decreased need for inotropes after CPB, an earlier time to tracheal extubation, and a reduced incidence of myocardial infarctions compared with controls.

Abstract
The institution of cardiopulmonary bypass during cardiac surgery has profound effects on the plasma concentration of drugs and thus their therapeutic effectiveness. These changes occur through acute hemodilution, altered plasma protein binding, hypotension, as well as the use of hypothermia and heparin administration. Isolation of the lungs from the circulation and the possible sequestration of drugs in the bypass circuit also affect drug plasma concentrations on bypass. The individual characteristics of the drug in question are also important in determining the final plasma concentration: Lipid soluble drugs with a high volume of distribution may be more readily taken up by bypass equipment, but the initial fall in concentration at the start of cardiopulmonary bypass may be more readily counteracted by back diffusion into plasma, if large tissue stores have accumulated. The extent of the drug's plasma protein binding is of importance as the effective free fraction in plasma for highly bound drugs will be sensitive to changes in plasma protein binding brought on by factors such as hemodilution, heparin administration as well as alpha, acid-glycoprotein binding. Clearly the fate of drugs administered before or on bypass is complex and can only be accurately determined by specific studies evaluating drug plasma concentrations. This review updates the available data on anesthetics and drugs used during cardiac surgery in order that anesthetists may predict better the likely effect of drugs administered before or during cardiopulmonary bypass.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To evaluate the safety and efficacy of ketamine in pediatric patients undergoing interventional cardiac procedures. DESIGN A retrospective clinical study. SETTING A single, tertiary referral center. PARTICIPANTS Patients (n = 107) undergoing interventional cardiac procedures between July 1996 and July 1998. INTERVENTIONS Each patient received a bolus of ketamine, 1 mg/kg intravenously, followed by an infusion of 50 to 75 microg/kg/min for the duration of the procedure. MEASUREMENTS AND MAIN RESULTS Hemodynamic and respiratory parameters were noted. All patients were breathing spontaneously. Average infusion dose of ketamine was 51.40+/-3.54 microg/kg/min (mean +/- standard deviation). Increases in heart rate and mean arterial pressure by more than 20% from baseline values were seen in 10 and 9 patients, respectively. Transient apnea and excessive salivation were seen in two patients each. Excessive movement of extremities was seen in six patients. There were no episodes of unpleasant dreams or hallucinations. There were two deaths (1.9%) related to the interventional procedures. CONCLUSION The technique described is a simple, safe, and effective method for anesthetizing children in the cardiac catheterization laboratory for interventional procedures.
