Zhang T, Wang X. Modafinil lightens apoptosis and inflammatory response in hepatic ischemia-reperfusion injury through inactivation of TLR9/Myd88/p38 signaling. Drug Dev Res 2024; 85:e22210. [PMID: 38812444 DOI: 10.1002/ddr.22210] [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: 01/22/2024] [Revised: 03/08/2024] [Accepted: 05/07/2024] [Indexed: 05/31/2024]
Abstract
Hepatic ischemia/reperfusion injury (IRI) remains a severe threat during liver surgery and transplantation, accounting for unfavorable clinical outcomes. Modafinil (MOD), a wakefulness-inducing compound, is increasingly disclosed to protect against IRI. However, the specific literatures covering the association between MOD and hepatic IRI are few. Here, this paper is committed to unraveling the role and response mechanism of MOD in hepatic IRI. After the establishment of hepatic IRI mice model and cell model, relevant assay kits measured the concentrations of biochemical indicators of hepatotoxicity and hematoxylin and eosin staining estimated liver morphology. Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay, reverse-transcription quantitative polymerase chain reaction, and western blot evaluated inflammatory levels. Terminal-deoxynucleoitidyl transferase-mediated nick end labeling assay and western blot appraised apoptosis. Western blot also analyzed the expression of Toll-like receptor 9 (TLR9)/myeloid differentiation primary response gene 88 (MyD88)/p38 signaling-associated proteins. Cell counting kit-8 method judged cell viability. MOD was discovered to mitigate liver dysfunction and morphological damage, inflammatory response, apoptosis in vivo and improve cell viability, suppress inflammatory response and apoptosis in vitro. In addition, MOD inactivated TLR9/Myd88/p38 signaling both in vitro and in vivo. Further, TLR9 elevation reversed the inhibitory role of MOD in inflammatory response and cell apoptosis in vitro. Anyway, MOD blocked TLR9/Myd88/p38 signaling to exhibit anti-inflammatory and anti-apoptotic properties in hepatic IRI.

Rokop ZP, Zhang W, Ghosh N, Biswas N, Das A, Lin J, Sen CK, Kubal C. Exacerbated ischemia-reperfusion injury in fatty livers is mediated by lipid peroxidation stress and ferroptosis. Surgery 2024; 175:1539-1546. [PMID: 38508920 DOI: 10.1016/j.surg.2024.02.001] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/24/2023] [Revised: 01/28/2024] [Accepted: 02/02/2024] [Indexed: 03/22/2024]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Ischemia-reperfusion injury is a common problem in liver surgery and transplantation. Although ischemia-reperfusion injury is known to be more pronounced in fatty livers, the underlying mechanisms for this difference remain poorly understood. We hypothesized that ferroptosis plays a significant role in fatty liver ischemia-reperfusion injury due to increased lipid peroxidation in the presence of stored iron in the fatty liver. To test this hypothesis, the ferroptosis pathway was evaluated in a murine fatty liver ischemia-reperfusion injury model. METHODS C57BL6 mice were fed with a normal diet or a high fat, high sucrose diet for 12 weeks. At 22 weeks of age, liver ischemia-reperfusion injury was induced through partial (70%) hepatic pedicle clamping for 60 minutes, followed by 24 hours of reperfusion before tissue harvest. Acyl-coenzyme A synthetase long-chain family member 4 and 4-hydroxynonenal were quantified in the liver tissues. In separate experiments, liproxstatin-1 or vehicle control was administered for 7 consecutive days before liver ischemia-reperfusion injury. RESULTS Exacerbated ischemia-reperfusion injury was observed in the livers of high fat, high sucrose diet fed mice. High fat, high sucrose diet + ischemia-reperfusion injury (HDF+IRI) livers had a significantly greater abundance of acyl-coenzyme A synthetase long-chain family member 4 and 4-hydroxynonenal compared with normal diet + ischemia-reperfusion injury (ND+IRI) livers or sham fatty livers, which indicated an increase of ferroptosis. HFD fed animals receiving liproxstatin-1 injections had a significant reduction in serum aspartate transaminase and alanine transaminase after ischemia-reperfusion injury, consistent with attenuation of ischemia-reperfusion injury in the liver. CONCLUSION Ferroptosis plays a significant role in ischemia-reperfusion injury in fatty livers. Inhibiting ferroptotic pathways in the liver may serve as a novel therapeutic strategy to protect the fatty liver in the setting of ischemia-reperfusion injury.

Abstract
Testicular torsion is a urological emergency that involves the twisting of the spermatic cord along its course. Compelling pieces of evidence have implicated oxidative stress-sensitive signaling in pathogenesis of testicular I/R injury. Although, surgical detorsion is the mainstay management; blockade of the pathways involved in the pathogenesis may improve the surgical outcome. Experimental studies using various testicular I/R models have been reported in a bid to explore the mechanisms associated with testicular I/R and evaluate the benefits of potential therapeutic measures; however, most are limited by their shortcomings. Thus, this review was intended to describe the details of the available testicular I/R models as well as their merits and drawbacks, the pathophysiological basis and consequences of testicular I/R, and the pharmacological agents that have being proposed to confer testicular benefits against testicular I/R. This provides an understanding of the pathophysiological events and available models used in studying testicular I/R. In addition, this research provides evidence-based molecules with therapeutic potentials as well as their mechanisms of action in testicular I/R.

Abstract
Ischemia/reperfusion injury (IRI) is a key determining agent in the pathophysiology of clinical organ dysfunction. It is characterized by an aseptic local inflammatory reaction due to a decrease in blood supply, hence deprivation of dependent oxygen and nutrients. In instances of liver transplantation, this injury may have irreversible implications, resulting in eventual organ rejection. The deterioration associated with IRI is affected by the hepatic health status and various factors such as alterations in metabolism, oxidative stress, and pro-inflammatory cytokines. The primary cause of inflammation is the initial immune response of pro-inflammatory cytokines, while Kupffer cells (KFCs) and neutrophil-produced chemokines also play a significant role. Upon reperfusion, the activation of inflammatory responses can elicit further cellular damage and organ dysfunction. This review discusses the interplay between chemokines, pro-inflammatory cytokines, and other inflammatory mediators that contribute to the damage to hepatocytes and liver failure in rats following IR. Furthermore, it delves into the impact of anti-inflammatory therapies in safeguarding against liver failure and hepatocellular damage in rats following IR. This review investigates the correlation between cytokine factors and liver dysfunction via examining databases, such as PubMed, Google Scholar, Science Direct, Egyptian Knowledge Bank (EKB), and Research Gate.

Abstract
Acute lung injury (ALI) is a common postoperative complication, particularly in pediatric patients after liver transplantation. Hepatic ischemia-reperfusion (HIR) increases the release of exosomes (IR-Exos) in peripheral circulation. However, the role of IR-Exos in the pathogenesis of ALI induced by HIR remains unclear. Here, we explored the role of exosomes derived from the HIR-injured liver in ALI development. Intravenous injection of IR-Exos caused lung inflammation in naive rats, whereas pretreatment with an inhibitor of exosomal secretion (GW4869) attenuated HIR-related lung injury. In vivo and in vitro results show that IR-Exos promoted proinflammatory responses and M1 macrophage polarization. Furthermore, miRNA profiling of serum identified miR-122-5p as the exosomal miRNA with the highest increase in young rats with HIR compared with controls. Additionally, IR-Exos transferred miR-122-5p to macrophages and promoted proinflammatory responses and M1 phenotype polarization by targeting suppressor of cytokine signaling protein 1(SOCS-1)/nuclear factor (NF)-κB. Importantly, the pathological role of exosomal miR-122-5p in initiating lung inflammation was reversed by inhibition of miR-122-5p. Clinically, high levels of miR-122-5p were found in serum and correlated to the severity of lung injury in pediatric living-donor liver transplant recipients with ALI. Taken together, our findings reveal that IR-Exos transfer liver-specific miR-122-5p to alveolar macrophages and elicit ALI by inducing M1 macrophage polarization via the SOCS-1/NF-κB signaling pathway.

Abstract
Background Hepatic Ischemia-Reperfusion Injury (HIRI) is a major complication in liver transplants and surgeries, significantly affecting postoperative outcomes. The role of mitophagy, essential for removing dysfunctional mitochondria and maintaining cellular balance, remains unclear in HIRI. Methods To unravel the role of mitophagy-related genes (MRGs) in HIRI, we assembled a comprehensive dataset comprising 44 HIRI samples alongside 44 normal control samples from the Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) database for this analysis. Using Random Forests and Support Vector Machines - Recursive Feature Elimination (SVM-RFE), we pinpointed eight pivotal genes and developed a logistic regression model based on these findings. Further, we employed consensus cluster analysis for classifying HIRI patients according to their MRG expression profiles and conducted weighted gene co-expression network analysis (WGCNA) to identify clusters of genes that exhibit high correlation within different modules. Additionally, we conducted single-cell RNA sequencing data analysis to explore insights into the behavior of MRGs within the HIRI. Results We identified eight key genes (FUNDC1, VDAC1, MFN2, PINK1, CSNK2A2, ULK1, UBC, MAP1LC3B) with distinct expressions between HIRI and controls, confirmed by PCR validation. Our diagnostic model, based on these genes, accurately predicted HIRI outcomes. Analysis revealed a strong positive correlation of these genes with monocytic lineage and a negative correlation with B and T cells. HIRI patients were divided into three subclusters based on MRG profiles, with WGCNA uncovering highly correlated gene modules. Single-cell analysis identified two types of endothelial cells with different MRG scores, indicating their varied roles in HIRI. Conclusions Our study highlights the critical role of MRGs in HIRI and the heterogeneity of endothelial cells. We identified the macrophage migration inhibitory factor (MIF) and cGAS-STING (GAS) pathways as regulators of mitophagy's impact on HIRI. These findings advance our understanding of mitophagy in HIRI and set the stage for future research and therapeutic developments.

Abstract
Liver transplantation (LT) has emerged as an effective therapy for severe forms of acute-on-chronic liver failure (ACLF), an entity characterized by the development of multiorgan failure and high short-term mortality. The aim of critical care management of ACLF patients is to rapidly treat precipitating events and aggressively support failing organs to ensure that patients may successfully undergo LT or, less frequently, recover. Malnutrition and sarcopenia are frequently present, adversely impacting the prognosis of these patients. Management of critical care patients with ACLF is complex and requires the participation of different specialties. Once the patient is stabilized, a rapid evaluation for salvage LT should be performed because the time window for LT is often narrow. The development of sepsis and prolonged organ support may preclude LT or diminish its chances of success. The current review describes strategies to bridge severe ACLF patients to LT, highlights the minimal evaluation required for listing and the currently suggested contraindications to proceed with LT, and addresses different aspects of management during the perioperative and early posttransplant period.

Abstract
Organ transplantation remains the most optimal strategy for patients with end-stage organ failure. However, prevailing methods of immunosuppression are marred by adverse side effects, and allograft rejection remains common. It is imperative to identify and comprehensively characterize the cell types involved in allograft rejection, and develop therapies with greater specificity. There is increasing recognition that processes mediating allograft rejection are the result of interactions between innate and adaptive immune cells. Macrophages are heterogeneous innate immune cells with diverse functions that contribute to ischemia-reperfusion injury, acute rejection, and chronic rejection. Macrophages are inflammatory cells capable of innate allorecognition that strengthen their responses to secondary exposures over time via "trained immunity." However, macrophages also adopt immunoregulatory phenotypes and may promote allograft tolerance. In this review, we discuss the roles of macrophages in rejection and tolerance, and detail how macrophage plasticity and polarization influence transplantation outcomes. A comprehensive understanding of macrophages in transplant will guide future personalized approaches to therapies aimed at facilitating tolerance or mitigating the rejection process.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Hepatic ischemia-reperfusion injury (IRI) is a common innate immune-mediated sterile inflammatory response in liver transplantation and liver tumor resection. Neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs) can aggravate liver injury and activates innate immune response in the process of liver IRI. However, Curcumin (Cur) can reverse this damage and reduce NETs formation. Nevertheless, the specific regulatory mechanism is still unclear in liver IRI. This study aimed to explore the potential mechanisms that how does Cur alleviate hepatic IRI by inhibits NETs production and develop novel treatment regimens. METHODS We established a hepatic IRI model by subjecting C57BL/6J mice to 60 min of ischemia, followed by reperfusion for 2 h, 6 h, 12 h, and 24 h respectively. Subsequently, we were separated into 5 groups, namely the I/R group, Cur group, DNase-1 group, Cur + DNase1 group and sham operation group. Serum alanine aminotransferase (ALT) and aspartate transaminase (AST), Hematoxylin-eosin staining, immunofluorescence, and TUNEL analysis were applied to assess liver injury degree and NETs levels. Western blot assay was used to detect the protein levels of apoptosis-related proteins and MEK pathway proteins. RESULTS Cur could alleviate hepatic IRI by inhibiting the generation of NETs via suppressing the MEK/ERK pathway. In addition, this study also revealed that DNase-1 is vital for alleviating hepatic IRI by reducing the generation of NETs. CONCLUSIONS Cur combined with DNase-1 was more effective than the two drugs administered alone in alleviating hepatic IRI by inhibiting the generation of NETs. These results also suggested that curcumin combined with DNase-1 was a potential therapeutic strategy to mitigate hepatic IRI.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Poor neurodevelopmental outcomes after pediatric liver transplantation seriously affect the long-term quality of life of recipients, in whom hepatic ischemia reperfusion (HIR) is considered to play a pivotal role. However, the link between HIR and brain injury remains unclear. Because circulating exosomes are considered as the key mediators of information transmission over long distances, we aimed to assess the role of circulating exosomes in HIR-induced hippocampal injury in young rats. METHODS We administered exosomes extracted from the sera of HIR model rats to normal young rats via the tail vein. Western blotting, enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay, histological examination, and real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction were used to evaluate the role of exosomes in neuronal injury and activation of microglial pyroptosis in the developing hippocampus. Primary microglial cells were cocultured with exosomes to further assess the effect of exosomes on microglia. To further explore the potential mechanism, GW4869 or MCC950 was used to block exosome biogenesis or nod-like receptor family protein 3, respectively. RESULTS Serum-derived exosomes played a crucial role in linking HIR with neuronal degeneration in the developing hippocampus. Microglia were found to be the target cells of ischemia-reperfusion derived exosomes (I/R-exosomes). I/R-exosomes were taken up by microglia and promoted the occurrence of microglial pyroptosis in vivo and in vitro. Moreover, the exosome-induced neuronal injury was alleviated by suppressing the occurrence of pyroptosis in the developing hippocampus. CONCLUSIONS Microglial pyroptosis induced by circulating exosomes plays a vital role in developing hippocampal neuron injury during HIR in young rats.

Abstract
The Stimulator of Interferon Genes (STING) is predominantly expressed in immune cells, including macrophages, natural killer cells, dendritic cells, and T cells, functioning as a pattern recognition receptor. STING activation upon detecting cytosolic DNA released from damaged cells initiates downstream pathways, leading to the production of inflammatory cytokines such as IFNs, IL-6, and TNF-α. Dysregulated STING activation has been implicated in inflammatory and metabolic diseases. Ischemia/reperfusion injury (I/RI) is common in stroke, acute myocardial infarction, organ transplantation, and surgeries for certain end-stage diseases. Recent studies suggest that STING could be a novel therapeutic target for I/RI treatment. In this review, we provide a concise overview of the cGAS-STING signaling pathway's general functions and summarize STING's role in I/RI across various organs, including the heart, liver, kidney, and lung. Moreover, we explore potential therapeutic approaches for I/RI by targeting STING.

Hepatic ischemia-reperfusion syndrome and its effect on the cardiovascular system: The role of treprostinil, a synthetic prostacyclin analog. World J Gastrointest Surg 2023; 15:1858-1870. [PMID: 37901735 PMCID: PMC10600776 DOI: 10.4240/wjgs.v15.i9.1858] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/09/2023] [Revised: 07/20/2023] [Accepted: 07/25/2023] [Indexed: 09/21/2023] Open
Abstract
Hepatic ischemia-reperfusion syndrome has been the subject of intensive study and experimentation in recent decades since it is responsible for the outcome of several clinical entities, such as major hepatic resections and liver transplantation. In addition to the organ's post reperfusion injury, this syndrome appears to play a central role in the dysfunction of distant tissues and systems. Thus, continuous research should be directed toward finding effective therapeutic options to improve the outcome and reduce the postoperative morbidity and mortality rates. Treprostinil is a synthetic analog of prostaglandin I2, and its experimental administration has shown encouraging results. It has already been approved by the Food and Drug Administration in the United States for pulmonary arterial hypertension and has been used in liver transplantation, where preliminary encouraging results showed its safety and feasibility by using continuous intravenous administration at a dose of 5 ng/kg/min. Treprostinil improves renal and hepatic function, diminishes hepatic oxidative stress and lipid peroxidation, reduces hepatictoll-like receptor 9 and inflammation, inhibits hepatic apoptosis and restores hepatic adenosine triphosphate (ATP) levels and ATP synthases, which is necessary for functional maintenance of mitochondria. Treprostinil exhibits vasodilatory properties and antiplatelet activity and regulates proinflammatory cytokines; therefore, it can potentially minimize ischemia-reperfusion injury. Additionally, it may have beneficial effects on cardiovascular parameters, and much current research interest is concentrated on this compound.

Abstract
Hepatic ischemia-reperfusion injury (HIRI) is mainly responsible for morbidity or death due to graft rejection after liver transplantation. During HIRI, superoxide anion (O2•-) and adenosine-5'-triphosphate (ATP) have been identified as pivotal biomarkers associated with oxidative stress and energy metabolism, respectively. However, how the temporal and spatial fluctuations of O2•- and ATP coordinate changes in HIRI and particularly how they synergistically regulate each other in the pathological mechanism of HIRI remains unclear. Herein, we rationally designed and successfully synthesized a dual-color and dual-reversible molecular fluorescent probe (UDP) for dynamic and simultaneous visualization of O2•- and ATP in real-time, and uncovered their interrelationship and synergy in HIRI. UDP featured excellent sensitivity, selectivity, and reversibility in response to O2•- and ATP, which rendered UDP suitable for detecting O2•- and ATP and generating independent responses in the blue and red fluorescence channels without spectral crosstalk. Notably, in situ imaging with UDP revealed for the first time synchronous O2•- bursts and ATP depletion in hepatocytes and mouse livers during the process of HIRI. Surprisingly, a slight increase in ATP was observed during reperfusion. More importantly, intracellular O2•-─succinate dehydrogenase (SDH)─mitochondrial (Mito) reduced nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NADH)─Mito ATP─intracellular ATP cascade signaling pathway in the HIRI process was unveiled which illustrated the correlation between O2•- and ATP for the first time. This research confirms the potential of UDP for the dynamic monitoring of HIRI and provides a clear illustration of HIRI pathogenesis.

Abstract
BACKGROUND According to WHO 2020, CAD is the second leading cause of death in Indonesia with death cases reaching 259,297 or 15.33% of total deaths. Unfortunately, most of the patients of CAD in Indonesia did not match the golden period or decline to be treated with Percutaneous Coronary Intervention (PCI). Based on the recent study, there were increases in MMP-9, NOX2, and TGF-β1 in STEMI patients which contribute to cardiac remodeling. Moreover, there is controversy regarding the benefit of late PCI (12-48 hours after onset of STEMI) in stable patients. Lately, colchicine is widely used in cardiovascular disease. This study was conducted to explore the effect of colchicine to reduce MMP- 9, NOX2, and TGF-β1 levels after myocardial infarction in stable patients. METHOD In this clinical trial study, we assessed 129 STEMI patients, about 102 patients who met inclusion criteria were randomized into four groups. Around 25 patients received late PCI (12-48 h after the onset of chest pain), optimal medical treatment (OMT) for STEMI, and colchicine; 24 patients received late PCI and OMT; 22 patients didn't get the revascularization (No Revas), OMT, and colchicine; and 31 patients received No Revas and OMT only. The laboratory test for MMP-9, NOX2, and TGF-β1 were tested in Day-1 and Day-5. The data were analyzed using Mann-Whitney. RESULTS A total of 102 patients with mean age of 56 ± 9.9, were assigned into four groups. The data analysis showed significant results within No Revas + OMT + Colchicine group versus No Revas + OMT + Placebo in MMP-9 (Day-1: p = 0.001; Day-5: p = 0.022), NOX2 (Day-1: p = 0.02; Day-5: p = 0.026), and TGF-β1 (Day-1: p = 0.00; Day-5: p = 0.00) with the less three markers in OMT + Colchicine group than OMT + Placebo group. There were no significant differences within the late PCI + OMT + colchicine group and PCI + OMT + Placebo group. CONCLUSIONS Colchicine could significantly reduce MMP-9, NOX2, and TGF-β1 levels in stable STEMI patients. So that, colchicine could be a potential agent in STEMI patients and prevent cardiac remodeling events.

Pro-Con Debate: Should All General Anesthesia Be Done Using Target-Controlled Propofol Infusion Guided by Objective Monitoring of Depth of Anesthesia? Anesth Analg 2023; 137:565-575.

Abstract
In this Pro-Con commentary article, we discuss whether all general anesthesia should be done using target-controlled propofol anesthesia guided by monitoring of depth of anesthesia. This is an ongoing debate since more than 25 years, representing a scientific, cultural as well as geographical divide in the anesthesia community. The Pro side argues that total intravenous anesthesia causes less postoperative nausea and higher patient satisfaction than anesthesia using volatile anesthetics. Target-controlled infusion (TCI) of anesthetic agents allows for better titration of intravenous anesthesia using pharmacokinetic models. Processed EEG monitors, such as bispectral index monitoring, allows for better assessing the effect of TCI anesthesia than solely assessment of clinical parameters, such as ECG or blood pressure. The combination of TCI propofol and objective depth of anesthesia monitoring allows creating a pharmacokinetic-pharmacodynamic profile for each patient. Finally, anesthesia using volatile anesthetics poses health risks for healthcare professionals and contributes to greenhouse effect. The Con side argues that for procedures accompanied with ischemia and reperfusion injury of an organ or tissue and for patients suffering from a severe inflammation' the use of volatile anesthetics might well have its advantages above propofol. In times of sudden shortage of drugs, volatile anesthetics can overcome the restriction in the operating theater or even on the intensive care unit, which is another advantage. Volatile anesthetics can be used for induction of anesthesia when IV access is impossible, end-tidal measurements of volatile anesthetic concentration allows confirmation that patients receive anesthetics. Taking environmental considerations into account, both propofol and volatile anesthetics bear certain harm to the environment, be it as waste product or as greenhouse gases. The authors therefore suggest to carefully considering advantages and disadvantages for each patient in its according environment. A well-balanced choice based on the available literature is recommended. The authors recommend careful consideration of advantages and disadvantages of each technique when tailoring an anesthetic to meet patient needs. Where appropriate, anesthesia providers are encouraged to account for unique features of anesthetic drug behavior, patient-reported and observed postoperative outcomes, and economic and environmental considerations when choosing any of the 2 described techniques.

Abstract
Mitogen activated protein kinase phosphatase 5 (MKP5) is a member of the MKP family and has been implicated in diverse biological and pathological conditions. However, it is unknown what role MKP5 plays in liver ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury. In the present study, we used MKP5 global knockout (KO) and MKP5 overexpressing mice to establish a liver I/R injury model in vivo, and MKP5 knockdown or MKP5 overexpressing HepG2 cells to establish a hypoxia-reoxygenation (H/R) model in vitro. In this study we demonstrated that protein expression of MKP5 was significantly downregulated in liver tissue of mice after I/R injury, and HepG2 cells subjected to H/R injury. MKP5 KO or knockdown significantly increased liver injury, as demonstrated by elevated serum transaminases, hepatocyte necrosis, infiltrating inflammatory cells, secretion of pro-inflammatory cytokines, apoptosis, oxidative stress. Conversely, MKP5 overexpression significantly attenuated liver and cell injury. Furthermore, we showed that MKP5 exerted its protective effect by inhibiting c-Jun N-terminal kinase (JNK)/p38 activity, and its action was dependent on Transforming growth factor-β-activated kinase 1 (TAK1) activity. According to our results, MKP5 inhibited the TAK1/JNK/p38 pathway to protect liver from I/R injury. Our study identifies a novel target for the diagnosis and treatment of liver I/R injury.

Abstract
Background and objectives Ischemic heart failure (HF) has become a disease that seriously endangers people's life and health. As a herbal formula widely used in clinical practice, new optimized Sheng-Mai-San (NO-SMS) has been shown to be significantly effective in improving cardiac function, increasing exercise tolerance, and slowing the progression of myocardial fibrosis in heart failure patients in multi-center clinical studies in various regions of China. In our previous pharmacodynamic and toxicological studies, we found that a medium-dose formulation (8.1 g of raw drug/kg) was the most effective in the treatment of heart failure, but its mechanism of action is still being investigated. The present study is exploring its relationship with cardiomyocyte apoptosis. Materials and methods We investigated and verified this through two parts of experiments, in vivo and in vitro. Firstly, we prepared male SD rats with heart failure models by ligating the left anterior descending branch of the coronary artery (EF ≤ 50%), which were treated with NO-SMS Formula (8.1 g of raw drug/kg/d), Ifenprodil (5.4 mg/kg/d) or Enalapril (0.9 mg/kg/d) prepared suspensions by gavage for 4 weeks. The cardiac and structural changes were evaluated by echocardiography, H&E, and MASSON staining. The apoptosis of cardiomyocytes in each group was detected by Western blot, qRT-PCR, and ELISA. In vitro cell experiments include H9c2 cardiomyocyte injury induced by H2O2 and NMDA respectively, and the groups were incubated with NO-SMS and Ifenprodil-containing serum for 24 h. Apoptosis was detected by Annexin V-FITC/PI double-staining method, and the rest of the assays were consistent with the in vivo experiments. Results Compared with the model group, the NO-SMS formula group and the Ifenprodil group could significantly improve cardiac function, delay myocardial fibrosis, reduce the expression of pro-apoptotic proteins, mRNA, and the concentration levels of Ca2+ and ROS in heart failure rats and H9c2 cardiomyocytes with H2O2 and NMDA-induced injury, which could significantly reduce the apoptosis rate of damaged cardiomyocytes and effectively inhibit the apoptosis of cardiomyocytes. Conclusion NO-SMS Formula improved cardiac function, inhibited ventricular remodeling and cardiomyocyte apoptosis in HF rats, and its mechanism may be related to the regulation of the NMDAR signaling pathway, inhibition of large intracellular Ca2+ inward flow, and ROS production in cardiomyocytes.

Abstract
Hepatic ischemia-reperfusion (IR) injury is a serious clinical problem that complicates liver resection and transplantation. Despite recent advances in understanding of the pathophysiology of hepatic IR injury, effective interventions and therapeutics are still lacking. Here, we examined the role of transient receptor potential melastatin 2 (TRPM2), a Ca2+-permeable, non-selective cation channel, in mediating hepatic IR injury. Our data showed that TRPM2 deficiency attenuated IR-induced liver dysfunction, inflammation, and cell death in mice. Moreover, RNA sequencing analysis indicated that TRPM2-induced IR injury occurs via ferroptosis-related pathways. Consistently, as a ferroptosis inducer, (1S,3R)-RSL3 treatment induced mitochondrial dysfunction in hepatocytes and a TRPM2 inhibitor suppressed this. Interestingly, TRPM2-mediated calcium influx caused mitochondrial calcium accumulation via the mitochondrial Ca2+-selective uniporter and increased the expression level of arachidonate 12-lipoxygenase (ALOX12), which results in mitochondrial lipid peroxidation during hepatic IR injury. Furthermore, hepatic IR injury-induced ferroptosis was obviously relieved by a TRPM2 inhibitor or calcium depletion, both in vitro and in vivo. Collectively, these findings demonstrate a crucial role for TRPM2-mediated ferroptosis in hepatic IR injury via increased Ca2+-induced ALOX12 expression, indicating that pharmacological inhibition of TRPM2 may provide an effective therapeutic strategy for hepatic IR injury-related diseases, such as during liver resection and transplantation.

Safety and efficacy of perioperative continuous renal replacement therapy for percutaneous coronary intervention in severe acute myocardial infarction patients. J Med Life 2023; 16:719-724. [PMID: 37520492 PMCID: PMC10375348 DOI: 10.25122/jml-2022-0270] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/12/2022] [Accepted: 03/27/2023] [Indexed: 08/01/2023] Open
Abstract
This retrospective study aimed to evaluate the safety and efficacy of continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT) during percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) in patients with severe acute myocardial infarction (AMI). The study analyzed data from 945 AMI patients hospitalized between January 2016 and December 2017, out of which 21 patients underwent perioperative CRRT for PCI. We assessed the baseline characteristics of severe AMI patients before and after CRRT and examined the effect of CRRT on cardiac, renal, and liver function, as well as other indicators. The heart rate of patients undergoing CRRT was significantly lower at 24 h and 48 h after CRRT than before CRRT (p=0.038). There was a moderate but not significant decrease in the mean systolic blood pressure or diastolic blood pressure (p>0.05). Importantly, we found that significantly more patients showed Killip class I-II and significantly improved cardiac function after CRRT (23.8% vs. 57.1%, p=0.001). The levels of urea nitrogen, creatinine, aspartate aminotransferase, glutamic pyruvic transaminase, and total bilirubin were significantly lowered after CRRT treatment (p<0.05). Perioperative management of CRRT was safe and effective for severe AMI patients.

A randomized-controlled trial of ischemia-free liver transplantation for end-stage liver disease. J Hepatol 2023:S0168-8278(23)00233-7. [PMID: 37086919 DOI: 10.1016/j.jhep.2023.04.010] [Citation(s) in RCA: 14] [Impact Index Per Article: 14.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/22/2023] [Revised: 03/13/2023] [Accepted: 04/03/2023] [Indexed: 04/24/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND & AIMS Ischemia-reperfusion injury (IRI) has thus far been considered as an inevitable component of organ transplantation, compromising outcomes, and limiting organ availability. Ischemia-free organ transplantation is a novel approach designed to avoid IRI, with the potential to improve outcomes. METHODS In this randomized, controlled clinical trial, recipients of livers from donors after brain death were randomly assigned to receive either an ischemia-free or a 'conventional' transplant. Primary end point was the incidence of early allograft dysfunction. Secondary end points included complications related to graft IRI. RESULTS 65 out of 68 randomized patients underwent transplants and were included in the analysis. 32 patients received ischemia-free liver transplantation (IFLT), and 33 received conventional liver transplantation (CLT). Early allograft dysfunction occurred in 2 (6%) randomized to IFLT and in 8 (24%) randomized to CLT (difference, -18%; 95% CI, -35% to -1%; P=.044). Post-reperfusion syndrome occurred in 3 (9%) randomized to IFLT and in 21 (64%) randomized to CLT (difference, -54%; 95% CI, -74% to -35%; P < .001). Non-anastomotic biliary strictures diagnosed with protocol magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography at 12 months were observed in 2 recipients (8%) randomized to IFLT and in 9 recipients (36%) randomized to CLT (difference, -28%; 95% CI, -50% to -7%; P = .014). The comprehensive complication index at one year after transplantation was 30.48 (95% CI, 23.25-37.71) in the IFLT group vs 42.14 (95% CI, 35.01-49.26) in the CLT group (difference, -11.66; 95% CI, -21.81 to -1.51; P = .025). CONCLUSIONS Among patients with end-stage liver disease, IFLT, compared with conventional approach, significantly reduced complications related to ischemia reperfusion injury. CLINICAL TRIAL REGISTRATION Chictr.org. ChiCTR1900021158 IMPACT AND IMPLICATIONS: Ischemia reperfusion injury has thus far been considered as an inevitable event in organ transplantation, compromising outcomes and limiting organ availability. Ischemia-free liver transplantation is a novel approach of transplanting donor livers without interruption of blood supply. We showed that in patients with end-stage liver disease, ischemia-free liver transplantation, compared with conventional approach led to reduced complications related to ischemia reperfusion injury in this randomized trial. This new approach is expected to change the current practice in organ transplantation improving transplant outcomes, increasing organ utilization, while providing a clinical model to delineate the impact of organ injury on alloimmunity.

Abstract
Liver ischemia/reperfusion (IR) often affects distant organs, such as small intestine, kidney, and lung. Coriandrum sativum (CS) has an antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effect on liver damage. The aim of this study was to investigate the anti-inflammatory and antiapoptotic effects of CS extract on small intestine, lung, and kidney after the liver IR injury. Small intestine, lung, and kidney tissues were evaluated and scored in terms of cell degeneration, inflammation, and congestion, as well as caspase-3 (Cas-3) and cluster of differentiation 31 (CD31) immunostainings were carried out. Renal enzymes, creatinine and urea levels were measured biochemically in serum. After IR, a decrease in villi size, diffuse degeneration, epithelial cell shedding and extensive congestion in the capillaries were observed. Meanwhile, the number of degenerated villi and congestion decreased in the IR+CS group. Due to IR, increased congestion was detected in the interalveolar septum of the lungs and in the capillaries between the kidney tubules. It was also observed that the positively stained cells with Cas-3 and CD31 were increased in the lung, kidney, and small intestine tissues of the IR group, and decreased in the IR+CS group. Kidney enzymes, urea and creatinine levels were significantly increased in the IR group and decreased in the IR+CS group. In conclusion, it was observed that liver IR caused changes in distant organs, especially in the small intestine, lung, and kidneys. Damaging effects of IR as well as apoptosis and inflammation were found to be decreased in the groups treated with CS.

Abstract
Tourniquets are critical for the control of traumatic extremity hemorrhage. In this study, we sought to determine, in a rodent blast-related extremity amputation model, the impact of prolonged tourniquet application and delayed limb amputation on survival, systemic inflammation, and remote end organ injury. Adult male Sprague Dawley rats were subjected to blast overpressure (120±7 kPa) and orthopedic extremity injury consisting femur fracture, one-minute soft tissue crush injury (20 psi), ± 180 min of tourniquet-induced hindlimb ischemia followed by delayed (60 min of reperfusion) hindlimb amputation (dHLA). All animals in the non-tourniquet group survived whereas 7/21 (33%) of the animals in the tourniquet group died within the first 72 h with no deaths observed between 72 and 168 h post-injury. Tourniquet induced ischemia-reperfusion injury (tIRI) likewise resulted in a more robust systemic inflammation (cytokines and chemokines) and concomitant remote pulmonary, renal, and hepatic dysfunction (BUN, CR, ALT. AST, IRI/inflammation-mediated genes). These results indicate prolonged tourniquet application and dHLA increases risk of complications from tIRI, leading to greater risk of local and systemic complications including organ dysfunction or death. We thus need enhanced strategies to mitigate the systemic effects of tIRI, particularly in the military prolonged field care (PFC) setting. Furthermore, future work is needed to extend the window within which tourniquet deflation to assess limb viability remains feasible, as well as new, limb-specific or systemic point of care tests to better assess the risks of tourniquet deflation with limb preservation in order to optimize patient care and save both limb and life.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Cordycepin has been reported to exhibit hepatic protective and anti-inflammatory properties. Here, we investigated the role of cordycepin in ischemia/reperfusion (IR)-induced liver injury in a mouse model. METHODS Mice were pretreated with cordycepin by gavage for 3 weeks, followed by the establishment of the IR modeling. Liver injury, Suzuki's histological grading, hepatic apoptosis, and inflammatory responses were evaluated by biochemical and pathological analysis. RESULTS It was found that Cordycepin pretreatment at 50 mg/kg for 3 weeks attenuated IR-induced liver injury, as reflected by the significant decrease of the levels of aspartate aminotransferase, alanine transaminase, lactate dehydrogenase, and low-density lipoprotein. Cordycepin pretreatment also reduced histopathological changes, attenuated hepatocyte apoptosis, inflammatory responses in the livers of IR mice. Mechanically, toll-like receptor 4/nuclear factor kappa-B signaling in liver tissues was inhibited by Cordycepin pretreatment. CONCLUSIONS In conclusion, Cordycepin pretreatment protects IR-induced liver injury, which demonstrates its potential for the treatment of IR in the liver.

[PMID: 36830074 PMCID: PMC9951884 DOI: 10.3390/antiox12020516] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/16/2023] [Revised: 02/12/2023] [Accepted: 02/16/2023] [Indexed: 02/22/2023] Open
Abstract
Cardiac hepatopathy refers to acute or chronic liver damage caused by cardiac dysfunction in the absence of any other possible causative reasons of liver injury. There is a large number of evidence of the fact that cardiac hepatopathy is associated with poor clinical outcomes in patients with acute or actually decompensated heart failure (HF). However, the currently dominated pathophysiological background does not explain a role of metabolic regulative proteins secreted by hepatocytes in progression of HF, including adverse cardiac remodeling, kidney injury, skeletal muscle dysfunction, osteopenia, sarcopenia and cardiac cachexia. The aim of this narrative review was to accumulate knowledge of hepatokines (adropin; fetuin-A, selenoprotein P, fibroblast growth factor-21, and alpha-1-microglobulin) as adaptive regulators of metabolic homeostasis in patients with HF. It is suggested that hepatokines play a crucial, causative role in inter-organ interactions and mediate tissue protective effects counteracting oxidative stress, inflammation, mitochondrial dysfunction, apoptosis and necrosis. The discriminative potencies of hepatokines for HF and damage of target organs in patients with known HF is under on-going scientific discussion and requires more investigations in the future.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION During liver surgery and transplantation, periods of partial or total vascular occlusion are inevitable and result in ischemia-reperfusion injury (IRI). Nanomedicine uses the latest technology, which has emerged with interdisciplinary effects, such as biomedical sciences, physics, and engineering, to protect and improve human health. Interdisciplinary research has brought along the introduction of antioxidant nanoparticles as potential therapeutics. The goal of this study was to investigate the effects of cerium oxide (CeO2) administration and desflurane anesthesia on liver tissue in liver IR injury. MATERIAL AND METHODS Thirty rats were randomly divided into five groups: control (C), ischemia-reperfusion (IR), IR-desflurane (IRD), cerium oxide-ischemia reperfusion (CeO2-IR), and cerium oxide-ischemia reperfusion-desflurane (CeO2-IRD). In the IR, IRD, and CeO2-IRD groups, hepatic ischemia was induced after the porta hepatis was clamped for 120 min, followed by 120 min of reperfusion. Intraperitoneal 0.5 mg/kg CeO2 was administered to the CeO2 groups 30 min before ischemia. Desflurane (6%) was administered to the IRD and CeO2-IRD groups during IR. All groups were sacrificed under anesthesia. Liver tissue samples were examined under a light microscope by staining with hematoxylin-eosin (H&E). Malondialdehyde (MDA) levels, catalase (CAT), glutathione-s-transferase (GST), and arylesterase (ARE) enzyme activities were measured in the tissue samples. RESULTS The IR group had considerably more hydropic degeneration, sinusoidal dilatation, and parenchymal mononuclear cell infiltration than the IRD, CeO2-IR, and CeO2-IRD groups. Catalase and GST enzyme activity were significantly higher in the CeO2-IR group than in the IR group. The MDA levels were found to be significantly lower in the IRD, CeO2-IR, and CeO2-IRD groups than in the IR group. CONCLUSION Intraperitoneal CeO2 with desflurane reduced oxidative stress and corrected liver damage.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Hypotension episodes before or after donor brain death are assumed to trigger hypoxia-reoxygenation, causing diffuse alveolar-capillary damage via necrosis. However, alveolar-capillary membranes have direct access to oxygen in alveoli. We hypothesized hypotension-induced lung injury is not diffuse alveolar-capillary damage but interstitial inflammation resulting from nonhypoxic lung ischemia and systemic responses to hypoxic extrapulmonary ischemia. METHODS The 4-hour hypotension model was established by subjecting C57BL/6J mice to 4-hour hypotension at 15 ± 5 mm Hg of mean artery pressure and resuscitated with whole shed blood and norepinephrine. Nonhypoxic lung ischemia model was established by 4-hour left pulmonary artery ligation. At 24 hours postprocedure, an arterial blood gas analysis and a gastroduodenal occult blood test were conducted. Lung samples were assessed for histology, cytokine transcripts, regulated cell death, and alveolar-capillary permeability. RESULTS The 4-hour hypotension model had an intraoperative mortality rate of 17.7% (41/231) and a stress-ulcer bleeding rate of 15.3% (29/190). No signs of alveolar flooding were observed in both models. Four-hour hypotension without stress ulcer showed normal oxygenation and permeability but increased interstitial infiltration, transcription of Tnf and Il1b, phosphorylation of MLKL and RIPK3, and cleaved caspase 3 compared with 4-hour pulmonary artery ligation and naïve control. Animals that developed stress ulcer presented with worse pulmonary infiltration, intracellular edema, and oxygenation but just slightly increased permeability. Immunoblotting showed significant upregulations of protein expression and phosphorylation of MLKL and RIPK3, cleaved Caspase-3, but not its prototype in 4-hour hypotension with stress ulcer. CONCLUSIONS Hypotensive lung injury is essentially a nonhypoxic ischemia-reperfusion injury enhanced by systemic responses. It is predominated by necroptosis-induced inflammation rather than necrosis-induced diffuse alveolar-capillary damage.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Hepatic ischemia-reperfusion injury (HIRI) is a common complication of liver surgeries, such as hepatectomy and liver transplantation. In recent years, several non-coding RNAs (ncRNAs) including long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) and microRNAs (miRNAs) have been identified as factors involved in the pathological progression of HIRI. In this review, we summarized the latest research on lncRNAs, miRNAs and the lncRNA-miRNA regulatory networks in HIRI. DATA SOURCES The PubMed and Web of Science databases were searched for articles published up to December 2021 using the following keywords: "hepatic ischemia-reperfusion injury", "lncRNA", "long non-coding RNA", "miRNA" and "microRNA". The bibliography of the selected articles was manually screened to identify additional studies. RESULTS The mechanism of HIRI is complex, and involves multiple lncRNAs and miRNAs. The roles of lncRNAs such as AK139328, CCAT1, MALAT1, TUG1 and NEAT1 have been established in HIRI. In addition, numerous miRNAs are associated with apoptosis, autophagy, oxidative stress and cellular inflammation that accompany HIRI pathogenesis. Based on the literature, we conclude that four lncRNA-miRNA regulatory networks mediate the pathological progression of HIRI. Furthermore, the expression levels of some lncRNAs and miRNAs undergo significant changes during the progression of HIRI, and thus are potential prognostic markers and therapeutic targets. CONCLUSIONS Complex lncRNA-miRNA-mRNA networks regulate HIRI progression through mutual activation and antagonism. It is necessary to screen for more HIRI-associated lncRNAs and miRNAs in order to identify novel therapeutic targets.

Abstract
The past decades have witnessed great advances in organoid technology. Liver is the biggest solid organ, performing multifaceted physiological functions. Nowadays, liver organoids have been applied in many fields including pharmaceutical research, precision medicine and disease models. Compared to traditional 2-dimensional cell line cultures and animal models, liver organoids showed the unique advantages. More importantly, liver organoids can well model the features of the liver and tend to be novel and promising modalities for exploring liver injury, thus finding potential treatment targets and repairing liver injury. In this review, we reviewed the history of the development of liver organoids and summarized the application of liver organoids and recent studies using organoids to explore and further repair the liver injury. These novel modalities could provide new insights about the process of liver injury.

Abstract
IMPORTANCE In a porcine model of liver transplant, a combined drug approach that targeted the donor graft and graft recipient reduced ischemia-reperfusion injury, a major hurdle to the success of liver transplant. OBJECTIVE To assess the effect of a clinical form of a perioperative combined drug approach delivered immediately before implantation to the procured liver and to the liver recipient on the degree of ischemia-reperfusion injury. DESIGN, SETTING, AND PARTICIPANTS This unicentric, investigator-driven, open-label randomized clinical trial with 2 parallel arms was conducted in Belgium from September 2013 through February 2018, with 1-year follow-up. Adults wait-listed for a first solitary full-size liver transplant were screened for eligibility. Exclusion criteria were acute liver failure, kidney failure, contraindication to treatment, participation in another trial, refusal, technical issues, and death while awaiting transplant. Included patients were enrolled and randomized at the time of liver offer. Data were analyzed from May 20, 2019, to May 27, 2020. INTERVENTIONS Participants were randomized to a combined drug approach with standard of care (static cold storage) or standard of care only (control group). In the combined drug approach group, following static cold preservation, donor livers were infused with epoprostenol (ex situ, portal vein); recipients were given oral α-tocopherol and melatonin prior to anesthesia and intravenous antithrombin III, infliximab, apotransferrin, recombinant erythropoietin-β, C1-inhibitor, and glutathione during the anhepatic and reperfusion phase. MAIN OUTCOMES AND MEASURES The primary outcome was the posttransplant peak serum aspartate aminotransferase (AST) level within the first 72 hours. Secondary end points were the frequencies of postreperfusion syndrome, ischemia-reperfusion injury score, early allograft dysfunction, surgical complications, ischemic cholangiopathy, acute kidney injury, acute cellular rejection, and graft and patient survival. RESULTS Of 93 randomized patients, 21 were excluded, resulting in 72 patients (36 per study arm) in the per protocol analysis (median recipient age, 60 years [IQR, 51.7-66.2 years]; 52 [72.2%] men). Peak AST serum levels were not different in the combined drug approach and control groups (geometric mean, 1262.9 U/L [95% CI, 946.3-1685.4 U/L] vs 1451.2 U/L [95% CI, 1087.4-1936.7 U/L]; geometric mean ratio, 0.87 [95% CI, 0.58-1.31]; P = .49) (to convert AST to μkat/L, multiply by 0.0167). There also were no significant differences in the secondary end points between the groups. CONCLUSIONS AND RELEVANCE In this randomized clinical trial, the combined drug approach targeting the post-cold storage graft and the recipient did not decrease ischemic-reperfusion injury. The findings suggest that in addition to a downstream strategy that targets the preimplantation liver graft and the graft recipient, a clinically effective combined drug approach may need to include an upstream strategy that targets the donor graft during preservation. Dynamic preservation strategies may provide an appropriate delivery platform. TRIAL REGISTRATION ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier: NCT02251041.

Abstract
Hepatic ischemia-reperfusion injury (HIRI) is of common occurrence during liver surgery and transplantation. Pinocembrin (PIN) is a kind of flavonoid monomer extracted from the local traditional Chinese medicine Penthorum chinense Pursh (P. chinense). However, the effect of PIN on HIRI has not determined. We investigated the protective effect and potential mechanism of PIN against HIRI. Model mice were subjected to partial liver ischemia for 60 min, experimental mice were pretreated with PIN orally for 7 days, and H2 O2 -induced oxidative damage model in AML12 hepatic cells was established in vitro. Histopathologic analysis and serum biochemical levels revealed that PIN had hepatoprotective activities against HIRI. The variation of GSH, SOD, MDA, and ROS levels indicated that PIN treatments attenuated oxidative stress in tissue. PIN pretreatment obviously ameliorated apoptosis, and restrained the expression of HMGB1 and TLR4 in vivo. In vitro, compared with H2 O2 group, the contents of ROS, mitochondrial membrane potential, apoptotic cells, and Bcl-2 protein were decreased, while the Bax protein expression was increased. Moreover, HMGB-1 small interfering RNA test and western blotting showed that PIN pretreatment reduced HMGB1 and TLR4 protein levels. In conclusion, PIN pretreatment effectively protected hepatocytes from HIRI and inhibited the HMGB1/TLR4 signaling pathway.

Abstract
Background Sepsis is a severe global health problem, with high morbidity and mortality. In sepsis, one of the main affected organs is the liver. Hepatic alterations characterize a negative prognostic. Omega-3 fatty acids (ω3), eicosapentaenoic acid, and docosahexaenoic acid, are part of the main families of polyunsaturated fatty acids. ω3 has been used in studies as sepsis treatment and as a treatment for non-alcoholic liver disease. Aim We aimed to evaluate the effects of treatment with fish oil (FO) rich in ω3 on liver changes and damage resulting from experimental sepsis. Methodology A model of severe sepsis in Wistar rats was used. Oxidative stress in the liver tissue was evaluated by means of tests of thiobarbituric acid reactive substances, 2,7-dihydrodichlorofluorescein diacetate , catalase, and glutathione peroxidase, in the serum TBARS, DCF, thiols and, to assess liver dysfunction, alanine aminotransferase and aspartate aminotransferase. Hepatic tissue damage was evaluated using H&E histology. Results In assessments of oxidative stress in liver tissue, a protective effect was observed in the tests of TBARS, DCF, CAT, and GPx, when compared the sepsis versus sepsis+ω3 groups. Regarding the oxidative stress in serum, a protective effect of treatment with ω3 was observed in the TBARS, DCF, and thiols assays, in the comparison between the sepsis and sepsis+ω3 groups. ω3 had also a beneficial effect on biochemical parameters in serum in the analysis of ALT, creatinine, urea, and lactate, observed in the comparison between the sepsis and sepsis+ω3 groups. Conclusion The results suggest ω3 as a liver protector during sepsis with an antioxidant effect, alleviating injuries and dysfunctions.

Abstract
At present, clamping of the portal triad is a widespread surgical procedure in hospitals. Such an operation can prevent pathological changes in the organs. However, the optimal time for clamping remains unclear. To determine the starting time of irreversible morphological changes in the small intestine due to the clamping of the portal triad. The study was carried out on rats (n=94). Animals were randomly subdivided into 4 groups based on the duration of clamping of the portal triad (PT): I control group (CG; without clamping the PT; n=10); II intervention group (6-IG; clamping PT for 6 min; n=28); III intervention group (12-IG; clamping time of the PT for 12 min; n=28); IV intervention group (24-IG; clamping time of the PT for 24 min; n=28). In groups 6- IG, 12-IG, 24-IG, after clamping the portal triad, animals were withdrawn from the experiment after 3 hours, 6 hours, 12 hours, 1 day, 3 days and 7 days. Morphological changes in the small intestine were assessed by measuring the diameter of the lumen of micro-vessels. In addition, the mortality in the groups was analysed as well. In the CG group, the diameter of the arterioles of the small intestine was 34±4 μm, the diameters of pre-capillaries were 15±2μm, the capillaries were 5.4±1 μm, the post-capillaries were 18±2 μm, and the diameter of the lumen of the venues was 40±3 μm. In the 6-IG group (on the 3rd day), the structure of the small intestine showed the recovery signs. By the 7th day, the indicators returned to their original values. In the 12-IG group, the parameters of the small intestine were restored on the seventh day that corresponds to the usual course of the disease. However, in the 24-IG group, changes in these organs persisted until the end of the study. No deaths were reported in the CG and 6-IG animal groups. Mortality among rats of the 12-IG group was 14.3%, while in the 24-IG group with PT clamping for 24 minutes it was 42.8%, respectively. The morphological changes in the microvasculature of the small intestine after 6-minute PT clamping showed a tendency to recover (back to the control parameters). Nevertheless, after 24 minutes of clamping, the changes in the intestinal tissue were irreversible.

Abstract
In mammalian systems, hydrogen sulfide (H2S)-one of the three known gaseous signaling molecules in mammals-has been found to have a variety of physiological functions. Existing studies have demonstrated that endogenous H2S is produced through enzymatic and non-enzymatic pathways. The liver is the body's largest solid organ and is essential for H2S synthesis and elimination. Mounting evidence suggests H2S has essential roles in various aspects of liver physiological processes and pathological conditions, such as hepatic lipid metabolism, liver fibrosis, liver ischemia‒reperfusion injury, hepatocellular carcinoma, hepatotoxicity, and acute liver failure. In this review, we discuss the functions and underlying molecular mechanisms of H2S in multiple liver pathophysiological conditions.

Abstract
Background: Primary liver cancer is the sixth most commonly diagnosed cancer and the third leading cause of cancer death worldwide in 2020, and it ranks fifth in global incidence. Liver resection or liver transplantation are the two most prominent surgical procedures for treating primary liver cancer. Both inevitably result in HIRI, causing severe complications for patients and affecting their prognosis and quality of survival. Ferroptosis, a newly discovered mode of cell death, is closely related to HIRI. We used bioinformatics analysis to explore the relationship between the two further. Methods: The GEO database dataset GSE112713 and the FerrDB database data were selected to use bioinformatic analysis methods (difference analysis, FRGs identification, GO analysis, KEGG analysis, PPI network construction and analysis, Hub gene screening with GO analysis and KEGG analysis, intergenic interaction prediction, drug-gene interaction prediction, miRNA prediction) for both for correlation analysis. The GEO database dataset GSE15480 was selected for preliminary validation of the screened Hub genes. Results: We analysed the dataset GSE112713 for differential gene expression before and after hepatic ischemia-reperfusion and identified by FRGs, yielding 11 genes. These 11 genes were subjected to GO, and KEGG analyses, and PPI networks were constructed and analysed. We also screened these 11 genes again to obtain 5 Hub genes and performed GO analysis, KEGG analysis, intergenic interaction prediction, drug-gene interaction prediction, and miRNA prediction on these 5 Hub genes. Finally, we obtained preliminary validation of all these 5 Hub genes by dataset GSE15480. Conclusion: There is a close relationship between HIRI and ferroptosis, and inhibition of ferroptosis can potentially be a new approach to mitigate HIRI treatment in the future.

Abstract
Hepatic ischemia-reperfusion injury (IRI) represents a major challenge during liver surgery, liver preservation for transplantation, and can cause hemorrhagic shock with severe hypoxemia and trauma. The reduction of blood supply with a concomitant deficit in oxygen delivery initiates various molecular mechanisms involving the innate and adaptive immune response, alterations in gene transcription, induction of cell death programs, and changes in metabolic state and vascular function. Hepatic IRI is a major cause of morbidity and mortality, and is associated with an increased risk for tumor growth and recurrence after oncologic surgery for primary and secondary hepatobiliary malignancies. Therapeutic strategies to prevent or treat hepatic IRI have been investigated in animal models but, for the most part, have failed to provide a protective effect in a clinical setting. This review focuses on the molecular mechanisms underlying hepatic IRI and regeneration, as well as its clinical implications. A better understanding of this complex and highly dynamic process may allow for the development of innovative therapeutic approaches and optimize patient outcomes.

Abstract
Low-temperature preservation could effectively extend in vitro storage of biological materials due to delayed or suspended cellular metabolism and decaying as illustrated by the Arrhenius model. It is widely used as an enabling technology for a variety of biomedical applications such as cell therapeutics, assisted reproductive technologies, organ transplantation, and mRNA medicine. Although the technology to minimize cryoinjuries of mammalian specimens during preservation has been advanced substantially over past decades, mammalian specimens still suffer cryoinjuries under low-temperature conditions. Particularly, the molecular mechanisms underlying cryoinjuries are still evasive, hindering further improvement and development of preservation technologies. In this paper, we systematically recapitulate the molecular cascades of cellular injuries induced by cryopreservation, including apoptosis, necroptosis, ischemia-reperfusion injury (IRI). Therefore, this study not only summarizes the impact of low-temperature preservations on preserved cells and organs on the molecular level, but also provides a molecular basis to reduce cryoinjuries for future exploration of biopreservation methods, materials, and devices.

Abstract
The maximum expression of hemodynamic instability during liver transplant is the so-called postreperfusion syndrome (PRS) that increases both overall mortality and postoperative complications. It was first defined by Aggarwal et al in 1987, but the results are still conflicting when establishing the relationship between PRS and acute kidney failure (AKF). We conducted a retrospective observational study of transplant recipients with deceased-donor liver grafts between January 2002 and December 2018. We analyzed the incidence of PRS and its potential negative impact over kidney function. A total of 551 transplants were analyzed. PRS was recorded in 130 patients (23.6%). The incidence of AKF was 61.5%. A total of 111 patients required kidney replacement therapy (32.7%). Regarding the severity of AKF, 128 patients were classified as acute kidney injury (AKI) 1 (23.2%), 76 as AKI 2 (13.8%), and 135 as AKI 3 (24.5%). In the group with PRS, 75.4% (n = 98) developed AKF vs 57.2% (n = 241) in the group without PRS. In the multivariate analysis we found a relationship between PRS and AKF with an odds ratio of 2.18 (95% CI, 1.30-3.64; P = .003), once adjusted by the length of the anhepatic phase, donor age, Model for End-Stage Liver Disease score, history of ascites, and need for early surgical reintervention. The incidence of AKF decreased (44.5%) ever since the implementation of delayed calcineurin inhibitors therapy and piggyback surgical technique, but a clear influence of the occurrence of PRS on the development of AKF is still observed, with an OR of 3.78 (95% CI, 1.92-7.43; P < .001), once adjusted by albumin and hemoglobin levels, Model for End-Stage Liver Disease score, and Child classification.

World J Gastrointest Surg 2022; 14:1037-1048.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Acute lung injury (ALI) after liver transplantation (LT) may lead to acute respiratory distress syndrome, which is associated with adverse postoperative outcomes, such as prolonged hospital stay, high morbidity, and mortality. Therefore, it is vital to maintain hemodynamic stability and optimize fluid management. However, few studies have reported cardiac output-guided (CO-G) management in pediatric LT.
AIM To investigate the effect of CO-G hemodynamic management on early postoperative ALI and hemodynamic stability during pediatric living donor LT.
METHODS A total of 130 pediatric patients scheduled for elective living donor LT were enrolled as study participants and were assigned to the control group (65 cases) and CO-G group (65 cases). In the CO-G group, CO was considered the target for hemodynamic management. In the control group, hemodynamic management was based on usual perioperative care guided by central venous pressure, continuous invasive arterial pressure, urinary volume, etc. The primary outcome was early postoperative ALI. Secondary outcomes included other early postoperative pulmonary complications, readmission to the intense care unit (ICU) for pulmonary complications, ICU stay, hospital stay, and in-hospital mortality.
RESULTS The incidence of early postoperative ALI was 27.7% in the CO-G group, which was significantly lower than that in the control group (44.6%) (P < 0.05). During the surgery, the incidence of postreperfusion syndrome was lower in the CO-G group (P < 0.05). The level of intraoperative positive fluid transfusions was lower and the rate of dobutamine use before portal vein opening was higher, while the usage and dosage of epinephrine during portal vein opening and vasoactive inotropic score after portal vein opening were lower in the CO-G group (P < 0.05). Compared to the control group, serum inflammatory factors (interleukin-6 and tumor necrosis factor-α), cardiac troponin I, and N-terminal pro-brain natriuretic peptide were lower in the CO-G group after the operation (P < 0.05).
CONCLUSION CO-G hemodynamic management in pediatric living-donor LT decreases the incidence of early postoperative ALI due to hemodynamic stability through optimized fluid management and appropriate administration of vasopressors and inotropes.

Autophagy Dysregulation in Metabolic Associated Fatty Liver Disease: A New Therapeutic Target. Int J Mol Sci 2022; 23:ijms231710055.

Abstract
Metabolic associated fatty liver disease (MAFLD) is one of the most common causes of chronic liver disease worldwide. To date, there is no FDA-approved treatment, so there is an urgent need to determine its pathophysiology and underlying molecular mechanisms. Autophagy is a lysosomal degradation pathway that removes damaged organelles and misfolded proteins after cell injury through endoplasmic reticulum stress or starvation, which inhibits apoptosis and promotes cell survival. Recent studies have shown that autophagy plays an important role in removing lipid droplets from hepatocytes. Autophagy has also been reported to inhibit the production of pro-inflammatory cytokines and provide energy for the hepatic stellate cells activation during liver fibrosis. Thyroid hormone, irisin, melatonin, hydrogen sulfide, sulforaphane, DA-1241, vacuole membrane protein 1, nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2, sodium-glucose co-transporter type-2 inhibitors, immunity-related GTPase M, and autophagy-related gene 7 have been reported to ameliorate MAFLD via autophagic induction. Lipid receptor CD36, SARS-CoV-2 Spike protein and leucine aminopeptidase 3 play a negative role in the autophagic function. This review summarizes recent advances in the role of autophagy in MAFLD. Autophagy modulates major pathological changes, including hepatic lipid metabolism, inflammation, and fibrosis, suggesting the potential of modulating autophagy for the treatment of MAFLD.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Twenty percent of pediatric patients with BA develop ACLF with increased mortality while awaiting LT. Respiratory complications are common in pediatric ACLF and are associated with increased morbidity and mortality. ARDS is the most severe manifestation of acute respiratory failure with considerable risk of mortality. METHODS A 5-month-old girl with post-Kasai BA preoperatively experienced ARDS from RSV infection while awaiting LT. She developed decompensated liver failure with shock, acute kidney injury, coagulopathy, and pulmonary hemorrhage after several episodes of sepsis over the course of 1 month in the PICU. At this stage, RSV was not detected in the patient's tracheal aspirate by real-time polymerase chain reaction. She underwent living donor LT to manage her pre-existing critical state. Following reperfusion during LT, her pre-existing ARDS rapidly deteriorated, which was alleviated by intraoperative VV ECMO. RESULTS Severe respiratory acidosis improved rapidly following ECMO, and LT was completed uneventfully. The patient was successfully weaned off ECMO on POD 3. CONCLUSIONS This is the first pediatric case rescued by the intraoperative application of ECMO during LT. Our case and cumulative evidence suggest that VV ECMO can serve as rescue therapy for perioperative refractory respiratory failure in pediatric LT.

[PMID: 36139761 PMCID: PMC9495847 DOI: 10.3390/antiox11091687] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/29/2022] [Revised: 08/16/2022] [Accepted: 08/22/2022] [Indexed: 11/16/2022] Open
Abstract
Hepatic ischemia/reperfusion (HIR) is the most common type of liver injury following several clinical situations. Modulating oxidative stress and inflammation by Nrf2/HO-1 and TLR4/MYD88/NF-κB pathways, respectively, is involved in alleviating HIR injury. Paeonol is a natural phenolic compound that demonstrates significant antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects. The present study explored the possible protective effect of paeonol against HIR injury and investigated its possible molecular mechanisms in rats. Rats were randomly divided into four groups: sham-operated control, paeonol-treated sham-operated control, HIR untreated, and HIR paeonol-treated groups. The results confirmed that hepatic injury was significantly aggravated biochemically by elevated serum levels of alanine transaminase and aspartate transaminase, as well as by histopathological alterations, while paeonol reduced the increase in transaminases and alleviated pathological changes induced by HIR. Additionally, paeonol inhibited the HIR-induced oxidative stress in hepatic tissues by decreasing the upraised levels of malondialdehyde and nitric oxide and enhancing the suppressed levels of reduced glutathione and superoxide dismutase activity. Furthermore, paeonol activated the protective antioxidative Nrf2/HO-1 pathway. The protective effect of paeonol was associated with inhibiting the expression of the inflammatory key mediators TLR4, MYD88, NF-κB, and TNF-α. Finally, paeonol inhibited the increased mRNA levels of the pro-apoptotic marker Bax and enhanced the reduced mRNA levels of the anti-apoptotic marker Bcl-2. Taken together, our results proved for the first time that paeonol could protect against HIR injury by inhibiting oxidative stress, inflammation, and apoptosis.

Luteolin Pretreatment Attenuates Hepatic Ischemia-Reperfusion Injury in Mice by Inhibiting Inflammation, Autophagy, and Apoptosis via the ERK/PPARα Pathway. PPAR Res 2022; 2022:8161946. [PMID: 35966821 PMCID: PMC9366205 DOI: 10.1155/2022/8161946] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/18/2022] [Revised: 06/25/2022] [Accepted: 07/16/2022] [Indexed: 11/18/2022] Open
Abstract
Hepatic ischemia-reperfusion (IR) injury is a clinically significant process that frequently occurs in liver transplantation, partial hepatectomy, and hemorrhagic shock. The aim of this study was to explore the effectiveness of luteolin in hepatic IR injury and the underlying mechanism. BALB/c mice were randomly divided into six groups, including normal controls (NC), luteolin (50 mg/kg), sham procedure, IR+25 mg/kg luteolin, and IR+50 mg/kg luteolin group. Serum and tissue samples were collected at 6 and 24 h after reperfusion to assay liver enzymes, inflammatory factors, expression of proteins associated with apoptosis and autophagy, and factors associated with the extracellular signal-regulated kinase/peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor alpha (ERK/PPARα) pathway. Luteolin preconditioning decreased hepatocyte injury caused by ischemia-reperfusion, downregulated inflammatory factors, and inhibited apoptosis and autophagy. Luteolin also inhibited ERK phosphorylation and activated PPARα.

Abstract
Hepatic ischemia/reperfusion injury (HIRI) is a common complication of liver surgery requiring hepatic disconnection, such as hepatectomy and liver transplantation. The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of cordycepin on HIRI and to elucidate the underlying mechanisms. Balb/c mice were randomly divided into six groups: a normal control group, sham group, H-cordycepin group, HIRI group, L-cordycepin (25 mg/kg) + HIRI group, and H-cordycepin (50 mg/kg) + HIRI group. Mice were subjected to I/R, and cordycepin was intragastrically administered for seven consecutive days before surgery. Orbital blood and liver specimens were collected at 6 and 24 h after HIRI. Serum levels of ALT and AST were decreased in the cordycepin pretreatment groups. Notably, cordycepin attenuated the inflammatory response and the production of proapoptosis proteins, while increasing expression of antiapoptosis proteins and decreasing expression of autophagy-linked proteins. Furthermore, cordycepin inhibited activation of the MAPK/NF-κB signaling pathway. Collectively, these results indicate that cordycepin pretreatment ameliorated hepatocyte injury caused by HIRI. As compared with the HIRI group, cordycepin pretreatment mitigated the inflammatory response and inhibited apoptosis and autophagy via regulation of the MAPK/NF-κB signaling pathway.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Polytrauma is often accompanied by ischaemia-reperfusion injury to tissues and organs, and the resulting series of immune inflammatory reactions are a major cause of death in patients. The liver is one of the largest organs in the body, a characteristic that makes it the most vulnerable organ after multiple injuries. In addition, the liver is an important digestive organ that secretes a variety of inflammatory mediators involved in local as well as systemic immune inflammatory responses. Therefore, this review considers the main features of post-traumatic liver injury, focusing on the immuno-pathophysiological changes, the interactions between liver organs, and the principles of treatment deduced. METHODS We focus on the local as well as systemic immune response involving the liver after multiple injuries, with emphasis on the pathophysiological mechanisms. RESULTS An overview of the mechanisms underlying the pathophysiology of local as well as systemic immune responses involving the liver after multiple injuries, the latest research findings, and the current mainstream therapeutic approaches. CONCLUSION Cross-reactivity between various organs and cascade amplification effects are among the main causes of systemic immune inflammatory responses after multiple injuries. For the time being, the pathophysiological mechanisms underlying this interaction remain unclear. Future work will continue to focus on identifying potential signalling pathways as well as target genes and intervening at the right time points to prevent more severe immune inflammatory responses and promote better and faster recovery of the patient.

Abstract
Hepatic ischemia-reperfusion injury (HIRI) is responsible for postoperative liver dysfunction and liver failure. Precise and rapid navigation of HIRI lesions is critical for early warning and timely development of pretreatment plans. Available methods for assaying liver injury fail to provide the exact location of lesions in real time intraoperatively. HIRI is intimately associated with oxidative stress which impairs lysosomal degradative function, leading to significant changes in lysosomal viscosity. Therefore, lysosomal viscosity is a potential biomarker for the precise targeting of HIRI. Hence, we developed a viscosity-activatable second near-infrared window fluorescent probe (NP-V) for the detection of lysosomal viscosity in hepatocytes and mice during HIRI. A reactive oxygen species-malondialdehyde-cathepsin B signaling pathway during HIRI was established. We further conducted high signal-to-background ratio NIR-II fluorescence imaging of HIRI mice. The contour and boundary of liver lesions were delineated, and as such the precise intraoperative resection of the lesion area was implemented. This research demonstrates the potential of NP-V as a dual-functional probe for the elucidation of HIRI pathogenesis and the direct navigation of HIRI lesions in clinical applications.

Abstract
Background: Hepatic ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury to the liver is a significant cause of morbidity and mortality following liver surgery, trauma, and hemorrhagic shock. It was reported that allicin, a type of garlic compound, had a protective effect against other hepatic diseases. Allicin's ability to protect against liver injury caused by ischemic reperfusion remains unknown. As a result, we conducted this study to determine allicin's effects and mechanism of action in hepatic I/R injury. Method: The liver I/R injury model was established by clamping the blood supply to the left and middle liver lobes. Three days prior to the hepatic I/R injury, different concentrations of allicin were gavaged. Then, hepatic function, histological changes, apoptosis markers, oxidative stress, and inflammatory cytokines were measured, and the molecular mechanisms were evaluated using western blot. Another separation experiment used IRAK-M knockout mice and peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-gamma (PPARγ) inhibitor to deduce the molecular mechanisms. Results: Pretreatment with allicin prior to hepatic I/R injury reduced liver damage by inhibiting aminotransferase activity and alleviating liver injury. It significantly decreased cell apoptosis, interleukin-1β (IL-1β) and tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) production, and hepatic oxidative stress. Furthermore, this study demonstrated that GW9662 (inhibitor of PPARγ) abrogated allicin's positive effect by inhibiting PPARγ expression while suppressing IRAK-M expression. Thus, the depletion of IRAK-M cannot influence the expression of PPARγ. The down-regulation of PPARγ-IRAK-M disabled the protection of allicin in I/R injury. Conclusion: Allicin protects against hepatic I/R injury via dose-dependent regulation of the PPARγ-IRAK-M-TLR4 signaling pathway, and it may be a potential drug in future clinical treatment.

Abstract
Background There are few effective targeting strategies to reduce liver ischemia-reperfusion injury (IRI), which is one of the reasons for the poor prognosis of liver transplant recipients. Methods A systematic approach combining gene expression with protein interaction (PPI) network was used to screen the characteristic genes and related biological functions of post-transplant. Differentially expressed genes (DEGs) between IRI+ and IRI- were identified. Logistic regression model and receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve were used to identify potential target genes of IRI. The expression of key genes was verified by qRT-PCR and Western-blot experiments. Finally, the ssGSEA was used to identify the immune cell infiltration in patients with IRI. Results The 283 common DEGs in GSE87487 and GSE151648 were mainly related to apoptosis and IL-17 signaling pathway. Through PPI network and logistic regression analysis, we identified that IL6, CCL2 and CXCL8 may be involved in the ischemia/reperfusion (IR) process. In addition, 32 genes were showed associated with IRI through inflammatory and metabolic pathways. Among the key genes identified, the differential expression of AGBL4, CILP2 and IL4I1 was verified by molecular experiments. Th17 cells of differentially infiltrated immune cells were positively correlated with CILP2 and IL4I1. The difference of Th17 cells between IRI+ and IRI- was verified by flow cytometry. Conclusion The study showed that AGBL4, CILP2 and IL4I1 were associated with IRI. Th17 cells may be associated with the regulation of IRI by key genes. These genes and related pathways may be targets for improving IRI.

Abstract
SUMOylation is described as a posttranslational protein modification (PTM) that is involved in the pathophysiological processes underlying several conditions related to ischemia- and reperfusion-induced damage. Increasing evidence suggests that, under low oxygen levels, SUMOylation might be part of an endogenous mechanism, which is triggered by injury to protect cells within the central nervous system. However, the role of ischemia-induced SUMOylation in the periphery is still unclear. This article summarizes the results of recent studies regarding SUMOylation profiles in several diseases characterized by impaired blood flow to the cardiorenal, gastrointestinal, and respiratory systems. Our review shows that although ischemic injury per se does not always increase SUMOylation levels, as seen in strokes, it seems that in most cases the positive modulation of protein SUMOylation after peripheral ischemia might be a protective mechanism. This complex relationship warrants further investigation, as the role of SUMOylation during hypoxic conditions differs from organ to organ and is still not fully elucidated.
