Abstract
Postoperative neurocognitive impairment (POCD) is a common complication after surgery and anesthesia, especially in elderly patients. Avenanthramide-C (AVC) test is a vascular endothelial cell adhesion molecule inhibitor with strong anti-inflammatory and antioxidant effects. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect and mechanism of AVC on POCD in aged rats to clarify the effect of AVC on POCD in aged rats. The aging rat model was established by continuous 200 mg/kg propofol anesthesia. Repeated propofol anesthesia could severely impair spatial learning ability, memory and cognitive function, and could promote hippocampal apoptosis, oxidative stress injury, neuroinflammation and ferroptosis in aging rats. In addition, AVC not only improved cognitive dysfunction, but also significantly inhibited apoptosis, neuroinflammatory response, ferroptosis and oxidative stress level in the hippocampus of aging rats induced by repeated anesthesia. Further mechanistic studies manifested that the above protective effects of AVC on aging rats induced by repeated propofol anesthesia may be achieved by activating Nrf2/ARE pathway activity. AVC pretreatment has a preventive effect on cognitive dysfunction induced by repeated propofol anesthesia in aging rats, and the preventive effect of AVC may be realized by activating the Nrf2/ARE signaling pathway activity. Our results demonstrate that AVC preconditioning reduces postoperative neuronal loss and neuroinflammation, activates the Nrf2/ARE pathway, reduces oxidative stress injury, and improves POCD in aged rats.

Abstract
Postoperative cognitive dysfunction (POCD), especially in elderly patients, is a serious complication characterized by impairment of cognitive and sensory modalities after surgery. The pathogenesis of POCD mainly includes neuroinflammation, neuronal apoptosis, oxidative stress, accumulation of Aβ, and tau hyperphosphorylation; however, the exact mechanism remains unclear. Non-coding RNA (ncRNA) may play an important role in POCD. Some evidence suggests that microRNA, long ncRNA, and circular RNA can regulate POCD-related processes, making them promising biomarkers in POCD diagnosis, treatment, and prognosis. This article reviews the crosstalk between ncRNAs and POCD, and systematically discusses the role of ncRNAs in the pathogenesis and diagnosis of POCD. Additionally, we explored the possible mechanisms of ncRNA-associated POCD, providing new knowledge for developing ncRNA-based treatments for POCD.

MicroRNA-424-5p Alleviates Isoflurane Anesthesia-Induced Neurotoxicity in Human Embryonic Stem Cell-Derived Neurons by Targeting FASN. COMPUTATIONAL AND MATHEMATICAL METHODS IN MEDICINE 2022; 2022:2517463. [PMID: 35872948 PMCID: PMC9300301 DOI: 10.1155/2022/2517463] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/16/2022] [Revised: 06/19/2022] [Accepted: 06/23/2022] [Indexed: 11/17/2022]
Abstract
Isoflurane (ISO) is a type of anesthetic that might cause neurotoxicity in children. Although miR-424-5p is considerably downregulated in ISO-treated rat brain samples, its physiological role in ISO-induced neuronal injury in human embryonic stem cell-derived neurons remains unknown (hESC-derived neurons). miR-424-5p expression and fatty acid synthase (FASN) in ISO-treated hESC-derived neurons were tested via qRT-PCR. The amount of protein for Bax, Cleaved-caspase-8, Bcl-2, and FASN was investigated through western blot analysis. The viability and apoptosis of hESC-derived neurons were estimated through cell counting kit-8 assessment and TUNEL assay, accordingly. Superoxide dismutase, glutathione, and malondialdehyde levels were discovered via corresponding kits. The contents of inflammatory factors including interleukin-6 and tumor necrosis factor-α were examined by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays. The combination between FASN and miR-424-5p was resolute via dual-luciferase reporter assessment. After exposure to ISO, induced neurotoxicity and a decreased miR-424-5p production were identified in hESC-derived neurons. Upregulation of miR-424-5p repressed ISO-induced apoptosis and mitigated ISO-induced inflammatory response and oxidative stress in vitro. FASN expression levels were reduced by elevation of miR-424-5p and upregulated after ISO treatment. Mechanically, FASN was directly targeted by miR-424-5p in hESC-derived neurons. Of note, the miR-424-5p elevation-suppressed neuronal apoptosis, inflammatory response, and oxidative stress were countered by upregulation of FASN.

Abstract
Triptolide (TP) is the major bioactive compound extracted from Tripterygium wilfordii Hook F. It exerts anti-inflammatory, antirheumatic, antineoplastic, and neuroprotective effects. However, the severe hepatotoxicity induced by TP limits its clinical application. Ginsenoside Rb1 has been reported to possess potential hepatoprotective effects, but its mechanism has not been fully investigated. This study was aimed at investigating the effect of ginsenoside Rb1 against TP-induced cytotoxicity in HL-7702 cells, as well as the underlying mechanism. The results revealed that ginsenoside Rb1 effectively reversed TP-induced cytotoxicity in HL-7702 cells. Apoptosis induced by TP was suppressed by ginsenoside Rb1 via inhibition of death receptor-mediated apoptotic pathway and mitochondrial-dependent apoptotic pathway. Pretreatment with ginsenoside Rb1 significantly reduced Bax/Bcl-2 ratio and down-regulated the expression of Fas, cleaved poly ADP-ribose polymerase (PARP), cleaved caspase-3, and -9. Furthermore, ginsenoside Rb1 reversed TP-induced cell cycle arrest in HL-7702 cells at S and G2/M phase, via upregulation of the expressions of cyclin-dependent kinase 2 (CDK2), cyclin E, cyclin A, and downregulation of the expressions of p53, p21, and p-p53. Ginsenoside Rb1 increased glutathione (GSH) and superoxide dismutase (SOD) levels, but decreased the reactive oxygen species (ROS) and malondialdehyde (MDA) levels. Pretreatment with ginsenoside Rb1 enhanced the expression levels of nuclear factor-erythroid 2-related factor 2 (Nrf2), total Nrf2, NAD(P)H: quinone oxidoreductases-1 (NQO-1), heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1), and Kelch-like ECH-associated protein 1 (Keap1)/Nrf2 complex. Therefore, ginsenoside Rb1 effectively alleviates TP-induced cytotoxicity in HL-7702 cells through activation of the Keap1/Nrf2/ARE antioxidant pathway.

Neuroimmunomodulation 2022; 29:369-379.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION This article purposed to detect the function of the HOTAIR and HOTAIR/microRNA-129-5p (miR-129-5p) axis on the isoflurane (ISO)-injured cells and rat, and propounded a novel perspective in exploring the molecular pathogenesis of ISO damage. METHODS The expression of HOTAIR and miR-129-5p was tested by quantitative real-time PCR. The viable cells were identified using MMT, and the apoptotic cells were provided by flow cytometry. The concentration of proinflammatory indicators was revealed by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay kits. The function of HOTAIR on oxidative stress was detected by commercial kits. A luciferase assay was performed to confirm the relationship between miR-129-5p and HOTAIR. The Morris water maze test was conducted to elucidate the cognition of SD rats. RESULTS The expression of HOTAIR was enhanced and the expression of miR-129-5p was lessened in the ISO-evoked SD rats and HT22 cells. The interference of HOTAIR reversed the injury of ISO on cell viability, apoptosis, inflammation, and oxidative stress. Besides, HOTAIR might be a target ceRNA of miR-129-5p. MiR-129-5p abrogated the function of silenced HOTAIR on cell viability, cell apoptosis, inflammation, and oxidative stress. Moreover, in vivo, the intervention of HOTAIR reversed the influence of ISO on cognition and oxidative stress by binding miR-129-5p. DISCUSSION/CONCLUSION Lowly expressed HOTAIR contributed to the recovery of the ISO-injured HT22 cell model from the abnormal viability, apoptosis, inflammation, and oxidative stress by regulating miR-129-5p. miR-129-5p mediated the function of HOTAIR on cognition and oxidative balance in the ISO-managed SD rat model.

Longitudinal impact on rat cardiac tissue transcriptomic profiles due to acute intratracheal inhalation exposures to isoflurane. PLoS One 2021; 16:e0257241.

Abstract
Isoflurane (ISO) is a widely used inhalation anesthetic in experiments with rodents and humans during surgery. Though ISO has not been reported to impart long-lasting side effects, it is unknown if ISO can influence gene regulation in certain tissues, including the heart. Such changes could have important implications for use of this anesthetic in patients susceptible to heart failure/other cardiac abnormalities. To test if ISO could alter gene regulation/expression in heart tissues, and if such changes were reversible, prolonged, or late onset with time, SHR (spontaneously hypertensive) rats were exposed by intratracheal inhalation to a 97.5% air/2.5% ISO mixture on two consecutive days (2 hr/d). Control rats breathed filtered air only. On Days 1, 30, 240, and 360 post-exposure, rat hearts were collected and total RNA was extracted from the left ventricle for global gene expression analysis. The data revealed differentially-expressed genes (DEG) in response to ISO (compared to naïve control) at all post-exposure timepoints. The data showed acute ISO exposures led to DEG associated with wounding, local immune function, inflammation, and circadian rhythm regulation at Days 1 and 30; these effects dissipated by Day 240. There were other significantly-increased DEG induced by ISO at Day 360; these included changes in expression of genes associated with cell signaling, differentiation, and migration, extracellular matrix organization, cell-substrate adhesion, heart development, and blood pressure regulation. Examination of consistent DEG at Days 240 and 360 indicated late onset DEG reflecting potential long-lasting effects from ISO; these included DEG associated with oxidative phosphorylation, ribosome, angiogenesis, mitochondrial translation elongation, and focal adhesion. Together, the data show acute repeated ISO exposures could impart variable effects on gene expression/regulation in the heart. While some alterations self-resolved, others appeared to be long-lasting or late onset. Whether such changes occur in all rat models or in humans remains to be investigated.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 (Nrf2) is a key regulator responsible for oxidative stress in brain injury. This study aimed to investigate the potential mechanism of miR-448-3p and Nrf2 in cerebral ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury. METHODS In vitro and in vivo cerebral I/R injury models were constructed, and Nrf2 expression levels were detected by qRT-PCR and Western blot. The potential miRNAs for Nrf2 were predicted by bioinformatic analysis. The binding interaction between miR-448-3p and Nrf2 was determined by luciferase reporter assay. The effects of miR-448-3p on neurological deficit, infarct volume, and brain water content in mice were tested. The effects of miR-448-3p on oxidative stress indicators (SOD activity, MDA content, and ROS production) were detected by commercial assay kits. The levels of HO-1 and cleaved caspase-3 were evaluated by Western blot. Cell viability was evaluated by MTT assay, and cell apoptosis was evaluated by TUNEL staining and flow cytometry. RESULTS Nrf2 was significantly downregulated and miR-448-3p was upregulated in cerebral I/R injury both in vivo and in vitro. MiR-448-3p downregulation efficiently attenuated brain injury and reduced oxidative stress and apoptosis. MiR-448-3p was identified to act as ceRNA of Nrf2 and negatively regulated Nrf2 expression, which was consistent with the animal studies. In addition, Nrf2 silencing obviously attenuated the neuroprotective effects of miR-448-3p inhibitor in vitro. CONCLUSION MiR-448-3p participated in the regulation of cerebral I/R injury via inhibiting Nrf2.

Abstract
MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are widely known as critical regulators in isoflurane-induced neurotoxicity during the development of brain. Moreover, isoflurane could aggravate cognitive impairment in diabetic rats. The present study was designed to investigate the role and mechanism of miR-140-5p on isoflurane-induced neurotoxicity in diabetic rats. Firstly, a diabetic rat model was established by injection of streptozotocin (STZ) and identified by Morris water maze test. The result indicated that isoflurane treatment exacerbated STZ-induced cognitive impairment, as demonstrated by increase of the latency to the platform and decrease of the proportion of time spent in the target quadrant. Secondly, miR-140-5p was up-regulated in diabetic rats treated with isoflurane. Functional assays revealed that knockdown of miR-140-5p attenuated neurotoxicity in diabetic rats, which was shown by a decrease of the latency to the platform and an increase of the proportion of time spent in the target quadrant. Mechanistically, we demonstrated that miR-140-5p directly bonded to SNX12 (sorting nexin 12). At last, the neuroprotective effect of miR-140-5p knockdown against isoflurane-aggravated neurotoxicity in diabetic rats was dependent on up-regulation of SNX12 and inhibition of cell apoptosis. In summary, these meaningful results demonstrated the mitigation of miR-140-5p knockdown against isoflurane-aggravated neurotoxicity in diabetic rats via SNX12, suggesting a novel target for neuroprotection in diabetes under isoflurane treatment.

Distinct, sex-dependent miRNA signatures in piglet hippocampus induced by a clinically relevant isoflurane exposure: a pilot study. J Anesth 2019; 33:670-679. [PMID: 31612349 DOI: 10.1007/s00540-019-02695-5] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/03/2019] [Accepted: 09/29/2019] [Indexed: 10/25/2022]
Abstract
PURPOSE To evaluate the effects of sex on miRNA expression in the hippocampus after isoflurane anesthesia in a neonatal piglet model. METHODS Six male and 6 female piglets, aged 3-5 days, were anesthetized with 2% isoflurane in room air for 3 h. Full physiologic monitoring was observed. Untreated animals (6 male, 6 female) served as controls. Expression of miRNAs in hippocampus was assessed. RESULTS In controls, miRNA expression in the hippocampus was highly conserved between males and females. However, 17/326 displayed sex-dependent differences: 10 miRNAs were more highly expressed in males; 7 showed lower expression in males than females. Isoflurane was associated with changes in the expression of distinct subsets of miRNAs in both males and females. In females, 14/326 miRNAs were significantly changed (3 downregulated; 11 upregulated); in males, 17/326 miRNAs were changed (7 downregulated; 10 upregulated). There was no overlap in significantly changed miRNAs between isoflurane-exposed males and females. CONCLUSIONS In the neonatal piglet hippocampus, miRNA expression was highly conserved. There was no overlap in miRNA expression between isoflurane-exposed males and females, suggesting sex differences in isoflurane-induced miRNA expression. These results support the hypothesis that a clinically relevant exposure to isoflurane induces distinct miRNA signatures in the hippocampus of neonatal male and female piglets. Their functional relevance in anesthesia-induced neurotoxicity remains unknown, although changes in specific miRNAs may either contribute to or protect against anesthesia-induced neurotoxicity.
