Abstract
Background: Postoperative cognitive dysfunction (POCD) is a common disorder after general anesthesia in elderly patients, the precise mechanisms of which remain unclear. Methods: We investigated the effect of isoflurane with or without dantrolene pretreatment on intracellular calcium concentration ([Ca2+]i), reactive oxygen species (ROS) production, cellular lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) leak, calpain activity, and cognitive function using the Morris water maze test of young (3 months), middle-aged (12-13 months), and aged (24-25 months) C57BL6/J mice. Results: Aged cortical and hippocampal neurons showed chronically elevated [Ca2+]i compared to young neurons. Furthermore, aged hippocampal neurons exhibited higher ROS production, increased LDH leak, and elevated calpain activity. Exposure to isoflurane exacerbated these markers in aged neurons, contributing to increased cognitive deficits in aged mice. Dantrolene pretreatment reduced [Ca2+]i for all age groups and prevented or significantly mitigated the effects of isoflurane on [Ca2+]i, ROS production, LDH leak, and calpain activity in aged neurons. Dantrolene also normalized or improved age-associated cognitive deficits and mitigated the cognitive deficits caused by isoflurane. Conclusions: These findings suggest that isoflurane-induced cytotoxicity and cognitive decline in aging are linked to disruptions in neuronal intracellular processes, highlighting the reduction of [Ca2+]i as a potential therapeutic intervention.

Abstract
Prometastatic and antitumor effects of different anesthetics have been previously analyzed in several studies with conflicting results. Thus, the underlying perioperative molecular mechanisms mediated by anesthetics potentially affecting tumor phenotype and metastasis remain unclear. It was hypothesized that anesthetic‑specific long non‑coding RNA (lncRNA) expression changes are induced in the blood circulation and play a crucial role in tumor outcome. In the present study, high‑throughput sequencing and quantitative PCR were performed in order to identify lncRNA and mRNA expression changes affected by two therapeutic regimes, total intravenous anesthesia (TIVA) and volatile anesthetic gas (VAG) in patients undergoing colorectal cancer (CRC) resection. Total blood RNA was isolated prior to and following resection and characterized using RNA sequencing. mRNA‑lncRNA interactions and their roles in cancer‑related signaling of differentially expressed lncRNAs were identified using bioinformatics analyses. The comparison of these two time points revealed 35 differentially expressed lncRNAs in the TIVA‑group, and 25 in the VAG‑group, whereas eight were shared by both groups. Two lncRNAs in the TIVA‑group, and 23 in the VAG‑group of in silico identified target‑mRNAs were confirmed as differentially regulated in the NGS dataset of the present study. Pathway analysis was performed and cancer relevant canonical pathways for TIVA were identified. Target‑mRNA analysis of VAG revealed a markedly worsened immunological response against cancer. In this proof‑of‑concept study, anesthesic‑specific expression changes in lncRNA and mRNA profiles in blood were successfully identified. Moreover, the data of the present study provide the first evidence that anesthesia‑induced lncRNA pattern changes may contribute further in the observed differences in CRC outcome following tumor resection.

Abstract
Many factors affect the prognosis of patients undergoing tumor surgery, and anesthesia is one of the potential influencing factors. In general anesthesia, inhalation anesthesia is widely used in the clinic because of its strong curative effect and high controllability. However, the effect of inhalation anesthetics on the tumor is still controversial. More and more research has proved that inhalation anesthetics can intervene in local recurrence and distant metastasis of tumor by acting on tumor biological behavior, immune response, and gene regulation. In this paper, we reviewed the research progress of diverse inhalation anesthetics promoting or inhibiting cancer in the critical events of tumor recurrence and metastasis, and compared the effects of inhalation anesthetics on patients' prognosis in clinical studies, to provide theoretical reference for anesthesia management of patients undergoing tumor surgery.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Sevoflurane (SEV) is a typical volatile anaesthetic and has an antitumour activity in various cancer cells. Here, we were curious whether SEV has tumour-suppressive effects in neuroblastoma (NB). METHODS NB cell lines (K-N-SH and SK-N-AS) were treated with SEV (1%, 2% and 4%). Cell Counting Kit-8 (CCK8) and Transwell assays were conducted to examine cell proliferation and invasion, respectively. The apoptosis was verified by flow cytometry, and the yes-associated protein 1 (YAP1), Bax, Bcl2 and cleaved caspase3 levels were detected by western blotting. Quantitative real-time PCR (qRT-PCR) was conducted to monitor the miR-144-3p level in SEV-treated NB cells. The targeted relationship between miR-144-3p and YAP1 was predicted by bioinformatics and testified by the dual-luciferase reporter assay. RESULTS SEV mitigated NB cell proliferation and invasion and strengthened apoptosis dose-dependently. SEV upregulated miR-144-3p. Moreover, the miR-144-3p inhibitor transfection significantly reduced the tumour-suppressive effect of SEV on NB cells. Furthermore, the dual-luciferase reporter assay confirmed that miR-144-3p targeted YAP1 and overexpressing YAP1 partially weakened the inhibitive effects of miR-144-3p on NB cells. CONCLUSION SEV abated NB cell proliferation and invasion and accelerated apoptosis through the miR-144-3p/YAP1 axis.

Abstract
(1) Background: Triple negative breast cancer (TNBC) is a highly aggressive tumor, associated with high rates of early distant recurrence and short survival times, and treatment may require surgery, and thus anesthesia. The effects of anesthetic drugs on cancer progression are under scrutiny, but published data are controversial, and the involved mechanisms unclear. Anesthetic agents have been shown to modulate several molecular cascades, including PI3K/AKT/mTOR. AKT isoforms are frequently amplified in various malignant tumors and associated with malignant cell survival, proliferation and invasion. Their activation is often observed in human cancers and is associated with decreased survival rate. Certain anesthetics are known to affect hypoxia cell signaling mechanisms by upregulating hypoxia-inducible factors (HIFs). (2) Methods: MCF-10A and MDA-MB 231 cells were cultivated and CellTiter-Blue® Cell Viability assay, 2D and 3D matrigel assay, immunofluorescence assays and gene expressions assay were performed after exposure to different sevoflurane concentrations. (3) Results: Sevoflurane exposure of TNBC cells results in morphological and behavioral changes. Sevoflurane differently influences the AKT isoforms expression in a time-dependent manner, with an important early AKT3 upregulation. The most significant effects occur at 72 h after 2 mM sevoflurane treatment and consist in increased viability, proliferation and aggressiveness and increased vimentin and HIF expression. (4) Conclusions: Sevoflurane exposure during surgery may contribute to cancer recurrence via AKT3 induced epithelial–mesenchymal transition (EMT) and by all three AKT isoforms enhanced cancer cell survival and proliferation.

Abstract
Purpose To explore the effect of SEV on colon cancer cells through circ-PI4KA. Methods The RNA level of circular RNA_0062389, microRNA-331-3p and LIM and SH3 protein 1 was determined by quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction. Protein expression was detected by Western blot. Cell proliferation was investigated by 3-(4,5)-dimethylthiahiazo (-z-y1)-3,5-di-phenytetrazoliumromide, cell colony formation and 5-ethynyl-29-deoxyuridine assays. Cell apoptosis was demonstrated using Annexin V-fluorescein isothiocyanate/propidium iodide double staining assay. Cell migration and invasion were detected by transwell assay. The target relationship between miR-331-3p and circ-PI4KA or LASP1 was predicted by starBase v2.0 online database, and identified by a dual-luciferase reporter assay. The effects between SEV treatment and circ-PI4KA knockdown on tumor formation were presented by in vivo tumor formation assay. Results Circ-PI4KA and LASP1 expressions were dramatically upregulated, while miR-331-3p was downregulated in colon cancer tissues and cells, respectively. SEV exposure significantly decreased the expression of circ-PI4KA and LASP1, but increased miR-331-3p expression. SEV inhibited cell proliferation, migration and invasion, and induced cell apoptosis by regulating circ-PI4KA. Furthermore, circ-PI4KA interacted with miR-331-3p, and miR-331-3p interacted with LASP1. SEV inhibited tumor growth by controlling circ-PI4KA in vivo. Conclusion Circ-PI4KA attenuated SEV-treated colon cancer cell malignancy by upregulating LASP1 through binding to miR-331-3p, which provided a new mechanism for studying surgery-mediated therapy of colon cancer.

Abstract
Poor prognosis in patients with glioma is primarily due to rapid tumor growth and cell invasion and migration. In addition, microRNA (miR)-27b is decreased in metastatic glioma. The present study investigated whether sevoflurane inhibited glioma cell progression by targeting miR-27b. Cell proliferation was analyzed using a Cell Counting Kit-8 assay and a wound healing assay was used to detect cell migration. Western blotting and reverse transcription-quantitative PCR analysis were performed to determine the protein and mRNA expression levels. A dual luciferase assay was used to determine the relationship between vascular epithelial growth factor (VEGF) and miR-27b. VEGF was identified to be a direct target of miR-27b. Moreover, sevoflurane treatment increased the expression of miR-27b and decreased the expression of VEGF in U251 and U87 cells. Compared with the control group, sevoflurane inhibited the proliferation and migration of U251 and U87 cells, as well as the expression of matrix metalloproteinase (MMP)-2 and MMP-9, which were subsequently abolished by pre-treatment with an miR-27b inhibitor. The present results indicated the potential use of sevoflurane by anesthesiologists for the surgical resection of glioma, which may improve patient outcomes in the clinical setting.

Abstract
Volatile anesthetics are widely used inhalation anesthetics in clinical anesthesia. In recent years, the regulation of anti-cancer relevant signaling of volatile anesthetics has drawn the attention of investigators. However, their underlying mechanism remains unclear. This review summarizes the research progress on the regulation of anti-cancer relevant signaling of volatile anesthetics, including sevoflurane, desflurane, xenon, isoflurane, and halothane in vitro, in vivo, and clinical studies. The present review article aims to provide a general overview of regulation of anti-cancer relevant signaling and explore potential underlying molecular mechanisms of volatile anesthetics. It may promote promising insights of guiding clinical anesthesia procedure and instructing enhance recovery after surgery (ERAS) with latent benefits.

Abstract
Purpose Sevoflurane (SEV) is a frequently used volatile anesthetic in cancer surgery. Sevoflurane treatment has been shown to suppress the migration and invasion of several human cancer cells. However, the effect of sevoflurane on glioma remains largely unclear. Methods Glioma cell lines (U251 and U343) were treated by various concentrations of sevoflurane. 3-(4,5-dimethyl-2-thiazolyl)-2,5-diphenyl-2-H-tetrazolium bromide (MTT), flow cytometry assay, and transwell assay were performed to detect the cell viability, apoptosis, migration and invasion. Western blot assay was employed to detect the protein levels of β-catenin, c-Myc, CyclinD1, β-catenin, N-cadherin, vimentin, and DEK. Moreover, quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) was used to examine the expression level of miR-218-5p. The target interaction between miR-218-5p and DEK was predicted through bioinformatics analysis and verified by dual-luciferase reporter assay system. Results We found that sevoflurane aberrantly inhibited the abilities on viability, migration, invasion, EMT and β-catenin signaling and promoted cell apoptosis in U251 and U343 cells in a dose-dependent manner. MiR-218-5p strikingly suppressed the abilities of proliferation, migration, invasion rather than apoptosis and activation of β-catenin signaling. Sevoflurane could facilitate the miR-218-5p expression, and its suppressing effects on glioma cells were reversed by pre-treatment with miR-218-5p inhibitors or pcDNA3.1/DEK in vitro and in vivo. Silencing of miR-218-5p reverted sh-DEK and sevoflurane-induced repression on proliferation, migration, invasion, and β-catenin signaling, and promotion on apoptosis in the glioma cells. Conclusion Our data showed that sevoflurane inhibited the proliferation, migration, invasion, and enhanced the apoptosis in glioma cells through regulating miR-218-5p/DEK/β-catenin axis.

Abstract
Sevoflurane is a new type of inhalation anesthetic used widely in the clinic. It has the characteristics of rapid induction, rapid recovery, and less irritative to the airway. Studies have shown that sevoflurane can affect the invasion and migration of a variety of malignant tumors. However, its effects on human glioma cells and related mechanisms are not clear. Cultured U251 and U87 cells were pretreated with sevoflurane. The effect of sevoflurane on proliferation was evaluated by MTT, and cell migration assay, cell apoptosis, and invasion ability were evaluated by wound-healing assay, cell apoptosis, and Transwell assays. Insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1) and PI3K/AKT signaling pathway gene expression in sevoflurane-treated cell lines was measured by western blotting analysis, respectively. 5% sevoflurane significantly inhibited proliferation ability in both U251 and U87 cells. Sevoflurane inhibited glioma cells invasion and migration, and promoted apoptosis. Sevoflurane inhibited IGF-1 and promoted the expression of apoptosis-related proteins in glioma cells. In addition, sevoflurane inhibited the PI3K/AKT signaling pathway in glioma cells. This study clarifies that sevoflurane inhibits proliferation, invasion, and migration, and promotes apoptosis in glioma cells. These effects are regulated by IGF-1, an upstream gene of the PI3K/AKT signaling pathway. These findings may be significant for the selection of anesthetic agents in glioma surgery to improve the prognosis of patients.

Abstract
This study investigated the effect of isoflurane on the proliferation of squamous cervical cancer cells, with focus on histone deacetylase 6 that is closely related to carcinogenesis. Squamous cervical cancer cells SiHa and Caski were exposed to 1%, 2%, or 3% isoflurane for 2 h, respectively. Cell proliferation was measured with the cell counting kit (CCK-8) assay and determined by BrdU assay. Expression of histone deacetylase 6, phospho-AKT, phospho-mTOR, and proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA) was assessed by Western blot. In order to block the histone deacetylase 6 (HDAC6) expression, siRNA transfection was performed. Isoflurane significantly promoted the proliferation of both SiHa and Caski cells, accompanied by upregulation of PCNA protein expression. Isoflurane increased the level of histone deacetylase 6 protein expression in both cells, and knockdown of histone deacetylase 6 attenuated the pro-proliferation effects of isoflurane. Additionally, activation of AKT/mTOR was found after isoflurane treatment, and mTOR inhibition abolished isoflurane-induced histone deacetylase 6 expression. However, inhibition of AKT phosphorylation had no effect on the expression of histone deacetylase 6 mediated by isoflurane. In conclusion, Isoflurane enhanced proliferation of cervical cancer cells through upregulation of histone deacetylase 6, which was associated with mTOR-dependent pathway, but not AKT-mediated pathway.

Abstract
Aim: We investigated the direct effects of sevoflurane on angiogenesis and a variety of tumor cells. Materials & methods: The antiangiogenic activity of sevoflurane was determined using angiogenesis and biochemical assays. Results: Sevoflurane at low doses inhibits capillary network formation. Sevoflurane inhibited VEGF- and bFGF-stimulated migration, adhesion and growth in endothelial cells and induced apoptosis. Sevoflurane only at high doses inhibited growth and migration of tumor cells, suggesting differential effects of sevoflurane between endothelial and tumor cells. Mechanistically, sevoflurane decreased growth factors-induced Ras and Rac1 activation, and suppressed Ras and Rac1 signaling. Conclusion: We demonstrate the antiangiogenic effects of sevoflurane and provide preclinical evidence into the potential mechanisms by which sevoflurane may negatively affect cancer growth and metastasis.

Abstract
Sevoflurane (Sevo) is one of the most frequently used volatile anesthetic agents in surgical oncology and has various effects on tumors, including inhibiting tumor growth, recurrence, and metastases; however, the molecular mechanisms are unknown. This study tried to investigate the influence of Sevo on hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) cells and its possible mechanisms of action. The present study found that Sevo suppressed both the proliferative and invasive capabilities of both HCCLM3 and Huh7 cells in a dose-dependent manner. Moreover, 53 differentially expressed microRNAs (miRNAs/miRs) in HCC cells that resulted from Sevo were screened out using miRNA microarray assay. In particular, miR-25-3p displayed a significant decrease in response to Sevo treatment. Further studies showed that Sevo's inhibitory actions on HCC cells were attenuated by overexpression of miR-25-3p but enhanced by its inhibitor. Phosphatidylinositol 3,4,5-trisphosphate 3-phosphatase and dual-specificity protein phosphatase PTEN (PTEN), a tumor suppressor gene, was directly targeted by miR-25-3p and its expression was upregulated by Sevo. In addition, Sevo suppressed the expression of phosphorylated-protein kinase B (p-Akt) (S473), glycogen synthase kinase (GSK) 3β (p-GSK3β) (S9), β-catenin, c-Myc and matrix metalloproteinase 9; whereas these inhibitory effects were reversed by miR-25-3p overexpression. More importantly, Sevo's tumor-suppressive effects were enhanced by LY294002 (a PI3-kinase inhibitor) but weakened by insulin growth factor-1 (an agonist of the Akt signaling pathway). These data suggest that Sevo's antitumor effects on HCC could be explained, in part, by Sevo inhibiting the miR-25-3p/PTEN/Akt/GSK-3β/β-catenin signaling pathway.

Abstract
Sevoflurane was frequently used as a volatile anesthetic in cancer surgery. However, the potential mechanism of sevoflurane on lung cancer remains largely unclear. In this study, lung cancer cell lines (H446 and H1975) were treated by various concentrations of sevoflurane. 3-(4,5-dimethyl-2-thiazolyl)-2,5-diphenyl-2-H-tetrazolium bromide (MTT) assessment and colony formation assay were performed to detect the cell viability and proliferation, separately. Also, transwell assay or flow cytometry assay was applied as well to evaluate the invasive ability or apoptosis in lung cancer cells, respectively. Western blot assay was employed to detect the protein levels of β-catenin and Wnt5a. Moreover, quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) was used to examine the expression level of prostate cancer-associated transcript 6 (PCAT6) and miR-326 in lung cancer tissues and cells. The target interaction between miR-326 and PCAT6 or Wnt5a was predicted by bioinformatics analysis and verified by the dual-luciferase reporter gene assay. Sevoflurane inhibited the abilities on viability, proliferation, invasion, and activation of Wnt/β-catenin signaling, but promoted apoptosis of H446 and H1975 cells in a dose-dependent manner. The expression of PCAT6 was increased in lung cancer tissues and cells, except for that of miR-326. Besides, sevoflurane could lead to expressed limitation of PCAT6 or improvement of miR-326. This process presented a stepwise manner. Up-regulation of PCAT6 restored the suppression of sevoflurane on abilities of proliferation, invasion, rather than apoptosis, and re-activated the Wnt5a/β-catenin signaling in cells. Moreover, the putative binding sites between miR-326 and PCTA6 or Wnt5a were predicted by starBase v2.0 software online. PCAT6 suppressing effects on cells could be reversed by pre-treatment with miR-326 vector. The promotion of Wnt5a inverted effects led from miR-326 or sevoflurane. Our study indicated that sevoflurane inhibited the proliferation, and invasion, but enhanced the apoptosis in lung cancer cells by regulating the lncRNA PCAT6/miR-326/Wnt5a/β-catenin axis.

Abstract
Background: Glioma is the most common brain tumor with poor prognosis all over the world. Anesthetics have been demonstrated to have important impacts on cell migration and invasion in different cancers. However, the underlying mechanism that allows anesthetics-mediated progression of glioma cells remains elusive. Methods: Sevoflurane (Sev), a class of common anesthetics, was used to expose to U87-MG and U251 cells. The expressions of microRNA-146b-5p (miR-146b-5p) and matrix metallopeptidase 16 (MMP16)were measured by quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction or western blot. Transfection was performed in glioma cells with miR-146b-5p inhibitor, inhibitor negative control, MMP16 overexpression vector, empty vector, small interfering RNA against MMP16 or scramble. Cell migration and invasion were analyzed by the trans-well assay. The interaction between miR-146b-5p and MMP16 was explored by luciferase activity and RNA immunoprecipitation assays. Results: Sev treatment inhibited migration and invasion of glioma cells. The expression of miR-146b-5p was enhanced and MMP16 protein was decreased in glioma cells after exposure of Sev. Knockdown of miR-146b-5p or overexpression of MMP16 reversed Sev-induced inhibition of migration and invasion of glioma cells. Moreover, MMP16 was indicated as a target of miR-146b-5p and its silencing attenuated the regulatory role of miR-146b-5p abrogationin Sev-treated glioma cells. Conclusion: Sev impeded cell migration and invasion through regulating miR-146b-5p and MMP16 in glioma, indicating a novel theories foundation for the application of anesthetics like Sev in glioma.

Abstract
Background Ovarian cancer is one of the leading causes of female death worldwide, with a poor prognosis of advanced patients. Sevoflurane, a volatile anesthetic commonly used in clinical operations, has been reported to have anti-cancer activity against some tumors. In the present study, we aimed to investigate the effects of sevoflurane on the progression of ovarian cancer and its potential mechanism. Methods The effects of sevoflurane on ovarian cancer cell viability, proliferation, migration, invasion, cell cycle, and apoptosis were determined by functional experiments in vitro. Gelatin zymography assay was performed to examine MMP9 activity. In vivo, sevoflurane was injected into mice of transplantation tumor with SKOV3 cells or with pcDNA-STC1 treated SKOV3 cells. Results We found that sevoflurane inhibited the viability of SKOV3 and OVCAR3 cells in a dose-dependent manner, and colony formation assay revealed that sevoflurane inhibited ovarian cancer cell colony-formation abilities. Additionally, sevoflurane could induce cell cycle arrest and promote cell apoptosis in SKOV3 and OVCAR3 cells. Moreover, sevoflurane reduced the migration and invasion abilities of SKOV3 and OVCAR3 cells, as well as the MMP-9 activity. Furthermore, sevoflurane down-regulated the expression of stanniocalcin 1 (STC1), and up-regulation of STC1 could reverse the inhibitory effects of sevoflurane on cell proliferation and invasion. In vivo, sevoflurane significantly inhibited the tumor growth, which was be reversed by STC1 overexpression. Conclusion These data reveal an anti-cancer activity of sevoflurane on the growth and invasion of ovarian cancer, which may be through down-regulating STC1. Sevoflurane may serve as a potential anti-cancer agent in ovarian cancer therapy.

Abstract
AIMS To investigate the effects of sevoflurane on proliferation, cell cycle, apoptosis, autophagy, invasion and epithelial-mesenchymal transition of colon cancer cell line SW480, and to explore its possible mechanism. MATERIALS AND METHODS SW480 and SW620 cells were treated with a mixture of 95% O2+5% CO2 containing different concentrations of sevoflurane (1.7% SAV, 3.4% SAV and 5.1% SAV) for 6 h. Meanwhile, we performed a rescue experiment by treating cells with the ERK pathway activator LM22B-10 prior to treatment of cells with 5.1% sevoflurane。 KEY FINDINGS: High concentration (5.1%) of sevoflurane significantly inhibited the proliferation and invasion of cells, causing G0/G1 phase arrest and promoted apoptosis and autophagy. 5.1% sevoflurane can participate in the regulation of EMT by regulating the expression of E-cadherin, Vimentin and N-cadherin proteins. LM22B-10 promoted proliferation and invasion of cancer cells and inhibited apoptosis and autophagy, while 5.1% sevoflurane could reverse the effect of LM22B-10 on the biological characteristics of cells. Sevoflurane can significantly inhibit tumor growth in SW480 cells transplanted nude mice. Moreover, 5.1% sevoflurane significantly increased the expression of p-Raf, p-MEK1/2, and p-ERK1/2 in SW480 cells and tumor tissues without affecting p-JNK and p-p38 proteins, meanwhile, 5.1% sevoflurane can inhibit the activation of ERK signaling pathway by LM22B-10 in vitro and in vivo. SIGNIFICANCE Sevoflurane can inhibit the proliferation and invasion of colon cancer cells, induce apoptosis and autophagy, and participate in the regulation of epithelial-mesenchymal transition, which may be related to its inhibition of the ERK signaling pathway.

Abstract
The biological effects of sevoflurane, a volatile anesthetics, on cancer cells seem to be contradictory and are not fully understood. While some studies demonstrate that sevoflurane promotes tumor growth, other studies report that sevoflurane displays anti-cancer activities. In this work, we systematically investigated the effects of sevoflurane at clinically relevant dose on the multiple biological aspects of cervical cancer cells and analyzed the underlying mechanism. Using a panel of cell lines, we found that sevoflurane significantly inhibited proliferation and migration of cervical cancer cells regardless of cellular origin and genetic background. In contrast, sevoflurane did not affect cervical cancer survival. Additionally, sevoflurane significantly enhanced chemosensitivity of cervical cancer cells. Mechanistically, we show that sevoflurane inhibits Ras and RhoA GTPase activities, leading to the blockade of their downstream signaling pathways, such as Ras/Erk/Akt and Rho/MYPT1/MLC. The rescue studies using Rho activator calpeptin or constitutively active Ras further confirm that Ras and RhoA are the targets of sevoflurane in cervical cancer. Interestingly, we found that the anti-proliferative effect of sevoflurane was via targeting Ras whereas the anti-migratory effect of sevoflurane was mediated via targeting RhoA. Our data clearly demonstrates the anti-cancer effects of sevoflurane. These findings provide preclinical evidence into the potential mechanisms by which sevoflurane may negatively affect cervical cancer growth and metastasis.

Abstract
Malignant glioma is the most common primary malignancy in the brain. It is aggressive, highly invasive, and destructive. Studies have shown that sevoflurane can affect the invasion and migration of a variety of malignant tumors. However, its effects on human glioma cells and related mechanisms are not clear. Cultured U251 and U87 cells were pretreated with sevoflurane. The effect of sevoflurane on cell proliferation, migration, apoptosis and invasion ability were evaluated by MTT, wound healing assay, cell apoptosis and transwell assays, respectively. miRNA-124-3p and ROCK1 signaling pathway genes expression in sevoflurane treated cell lines was measured by quantitative real-time PCR (qRT-PCR) and western blotting analysis. The potential target genes of miRNA were predicted by online software. Luciferase reporter assay was employed to validate the direct targeting of ROCK1 by miRNA-124-3p. In present studies, sevoflurane inhibits glioma cells proliferation, invasion and migration. Additionally, inversely correlation between miR-124-3p and ROCK1 expression in sevoflurane treated glioma cells was observed. Furthermore, sevoflurane inhibits glioma cells proliferation, migration and invasion through miR-124-3p/ROCK1 axis. Taken together, our study revealed that sevoflurane can inhibit glioma cell proliferation, invasion and migration. Its mechanism may be related to the upregulation of miR-124-3p, which suppresses ROCK1 signaling pathway. The results of the study will help to understand the pharmacological effects of inhaled general anesthetics more comprehensively and help to provide an experimental basis for selecting more reasonable anesthetics for cancer patients.

Abstract
Most of the studies regarding the direct effect of anesthetics on tumour cells are focused on opioids and voltage-gated sodium channels. Little is known on the effect of volatile anesthetics on tumour progression. In this study, we show that sevoflurane, a volatile anesthetic, negatively affects chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) CD34 stem/progenitor cells' biological properties. Sevoflurane significantly inhibits the growth of a panel of CML cell lines in a dose-dependent manner without affecting their survival. It also inhibits proliferation, differentiation and self-renewal capacities but not survival of CML CD34 cells. In addition, sevoflurane significantly augments dasatinib's efficacy in CML cell lines and stem/progenitors. Mechanistically, sevoflurane dose-dependently decreases levels of β-catenin and c-Myc but not phospho-P38 MAPK in K562 and CML CD34 cells. The decreased Wnt/ β-catenin activity and the reduced levels of Wnt/β-catenin-targeted transcriptions are observed in CML cells exposed to sevoflurane. The complete rescue of the inhibitory effects of sevoflurane in K562 and CML CD34 cells by β-catenin stabilization using both genetic and pharmacological approaches further demonstrates that sevoflurane acts on CML cells via a β-catenin-dependent manner. Our results clearly show the direct and negative effects of sevoflurane on the leukemia cell lines as well as leukemia stem/progenitors. Our findings also reveal Wnt/β-catenin as the target of volatile anesthetics.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Isoflurane is one of the most common general anaesthetics used during surgical procedures, including tumour resection. However, the effects of isoflurane on the viability and migration capacity of cancer cells, specifically in the context of brain cancer cells, remain unclear. Therefore, the aim of this study was to evaluate the influence that isoflurane has on the function of glioblastoma stem cells (GCSs) in regards to cell proliferation, survival and migration. METHOD U251-GSCs were exposed to isoflurane at clinically relevant concentrations and incubation times. The effects on proliferation, survival and migration capacities of the cells were evaluated in vitro. The potential risk was assessed in mice by intracranial injection of U251-GSCs pretreated with isoflurane. Furthermore, the average tumour volume and migration distance of U251-GSCs from the tumour centre were calculated. RESULTS Exposure of U251-GSCs to 1.2% isoflurane for 6 h resulted in increased proliferation (P<0.05) and decreased apoptosis rate (P<0.05) when compared with the control group. In addition, isoflurane exposure caused increased migration capacity in vitro (P<0.05) and the distance migrated was increased in vivo (P<0.05). CONCLUSION Clinically relevant concentrations and incubation times of isoflurane could promote the viability and mobility of U251-GSCs, suggesting this general anaesthetic may have detrimental effects in glioblastoma by facilitating its growth and migration.

Abstract
Sevoflurane, an inhalational anesthetic, is extensively used during oral cancer surgery. However, the effect of sevoflurane on head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) remains unclear. The objective of the present study was to investigate the effects of sevoflurane on the proliferation, apoptosis and invasion in HNSCC cell lines and the underlying molecular mechanism. The Cell Counting Kit-8 assay was used to evaluate cell proliferation. Apoptosis was analyzed by flow cytometry. Cell invasion was evaluated using the Transwell invasion assay. The expression levels of Akt, p-Akt (Ser473), hypoxia‑inducible factor-1α (HIF-1α), Fas and Bcl-2 were measured by western blotting. Significant inhibition of cell proliferation and induction of apoptosis were observed in FaDu and CAL-27 cells following sevoflurane treatment. The expression of Akt, p-Akt (Ser473) and Bcl-2 was supressed, while that of Fas was significantly increased, which was partly associated with the activation of the HIF-1α pathway. In addition, the results revealed a statistically significant inhibition of cell invasion in the FaDu cell line following exposure to 2 and 4% sevoflurane for 2, 4, 6 and 8 h. Therefore, the present study demonstrated that sevoflurane decreased the malignant behavior of HNSCC cell lines in vitro, which was associated with activation of the HIF-1α pathway.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE This study aimed to investigate the effects of pre-treatment with nimodipine and 7.5% hypertonic saline (HS) on postoperative cognitive dysfunction (POCD) in aged rats. METHODS Healthy Sprague-Dawley aged rats were randomly assigned into 4 groups: POCD group, nimodipine group, HS group, and nimodipine+HS group. Rats in POCD group received normal saline injection and then splenectomy 30min later under 1.8% isoflurane inhalation for 2h. In remaining groups, rats received injection of 1mg/kg nimodipine (i.p) and/or 4ml/kg 7.5% HS (i.v) and then splenectomy. Morris water maze test was performed before and after surgery. The hippocampus was harvested for the detection of neuronal apoptosis rate (AR), cytoplasmic calcium ([Ca2+]i), Bcl-2 and Bax mRNA expression and hippocampal neuronal ultrastructure. RESULTS When compared with POCD group, the latency to escape, neuronal AR, [Ca2+]i, Bax mRNA expression and Bax/Bcl-2 ratio reduced dramatically, but the times of crossing the platform and Bcl-2 mRNA expression increased significantly (P<0.05) in nimodipine group, NS group and nimodipine+HS group. In addition, the latency to escape, neuronal AR, [Ca2+]i, Bax mRNA expression and Bax/Bcl-2 ratio reduced markedly, but the times of crossing the platform and Bcl-2 mRNA expression increased significantly in nimodipine+HS group as compared to nimodipine group and NS group (P<0.05). Hippocampal neuronal ultrastructure damage was observed in all 4 groups, but it was the mildest in nimodipine+HS group. CONCLUSION Pre-treatment with both nimodipine and 7.5% HS exerts better protective effects, which is related to the inhibition of hippocampal neuronal apoptosis.

Abstract
Cancer cell migration and invasion are essential features of the metastatic process. Volatile anesthetic sevoflurane inhibits the migration and invasion of multiple cancer cell lines; however, its effects on glioma cells are unclear. Emerging evidence suggests that microRNA (miRNA)-637 regulates glioma cell migration and invasion through the Akt1 pathway. Sevoflurane has been shown to modulate a number of miRNAs. In the present study, we examined whether sevoflurane inhibits glioma cell migration and invasion and, if so, whether these beneficial effects are mediated by miRNA-637. U251 glioma cells were treated without (control) or with sevoflurane at low, moderate or high concentrations for 6 h. To explore the molecular mechanisms, an additional group of U251 cells was treated with a miRNA‑637 inhibitor prior to treatment with a high concentration of sevoflurane. Compared with the control group, sevoflurane inhibited the migration and invasion of U251 cells in a dose-dependent manner. Molecular analyses revealed that sevoflurane increased the expression of miRNA‑637 and decreased the expression of Akt1 and phosphorylated Akt1 in a dose-dependent manner. Moreover, the inhibitory effects of sevoflurane on U251 cell migration and invasion were completely abolished by pre-treatment with miRNA‑637 inhibitor, which reversed the sevoflurane-induced reduction in the expression of Akt1 and phosphorylated Akt1 in the U251 cells. These results demonstrate that sevoflurane inhibits glioma cell migration and invasion and that these beneficial effects are mediated by the upregulation of miRNA‑637, which suppresses Akt1 expression and activity. These findings may have significant clinical implications for anesthesiologists regarding the choice of volatile anesthetic agents for the surgical resection of gliomas to prevent metastases and improve patient outcomes.

Abstract
Human laryngeal papilloma (LP) is a human papillomavirus-induced hyperplastic tumor of the respiratory tract, which is characterized by rapid growth and apoptosis resistance. Isoflurane (ISO) inhibits proliferation and elicits apoptosis in cancer cells. The results of the present study found that the mRNA and protein levels of cyclooxygenase-2 (COX2) were higher in LP tissues than in normal laryngeal samples, and prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) production was increased in LP cells, as determined by quantitative polymerase chain reaction, western blot and radioimmunoassay analyses. Notably, the increase in COX2 and PGE2 levels was significantly abrogated in the ISO-treated LP cells. The inhibitory effects of ISO on COX2 expression and activity depended on the inactivation of p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) in LP cells. By inhibiting the COX2 activity of LP cells, ISO treatment markedly suppressed cell viability and proliferation, as determined using Cell Counting Kit-8, flow cytometry and 5-ethynyl-20-deoxyuridine incorporation assays. Furthermore, ISO treatment promoted cell apoptosis, as demonstrated by flow cytometry, nucleosomal fragmentation and caspase-3 activity assays. Collectively, the present results suggest that COX2 is critical in the progression of LP, and ISO is a potential agent for LP therapy by impeding p38 MAPK/COX2 signaling.

Abstract
Zinc (Zn) is known to play crucial roles in numerous brain functions including learning and memory. Zn deficiency is believed to be widespread throughout the world, particularly in patients with Alzheimer's disease (AD). A number of studies have shown that volatile anesthetics, such as isoflurane, might be potential risk factors for the development of AD. However, whether isoflurane exposure accelerates the process of AD and cognitive impairment in AD patients with Zn deficiency is yet to be documented. The aim of the present study was to explore the effects of 1.4% isoflurane exposure for 2 h on learning and memory function, and neuropathogenesis in 10-month-old Zn-adequate, Zn-deficient, and Zn-treated APP/PS1 mice with the following parameters: behavioral tests, neuronal apoptosis, Aβ, and tau pathology. The results demonstrated that isoflurane exposure showed no impact on learning and memory function, but induced transient elevation of neuroapoptosis in Zn-adequate APP/PS1 mice. Exposure of isoflurane exhibited significant neuroapoptosis, Aβ generation, tau phosphorylation, and learning and memory impairment in APP/PS1 mice in the presence of Zn deficiency. Appropriate Zn treatment improved learning and memory function, and prevented isoflurane-induced neuroapoptosis in APP/PS1 mice. Isoflurane exposure may cause potential neurotoxicity, which is tolerated to some extent in Zn-adequate APP/PS1 mice. When this tolerance is limited, like in AD with Zn deficiency, isoflurane exposure markedly exacerbated learning and memory impairment, and neuropathology, indicating that AD patients with certain conditions such as Zn deficiency may be vulnerable to volatile anesthetic isoflurane.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Tumor cell migration and diffuse infiltration into brain parenchyma are known causes of recurrence after treatment in glioblastoma (GBM), mediated in part by the interaction of glioma cells with the extracellular matrix, followed by degradation of matrix by tumor cell derived proteases, particularly the matrix metalloproteinases (MMP). Sevoflurane and thiopental are anesthetics commonly used in cancer surgery. However, their effect on the progression of glioma cells remains unclear. The aim of this study was to explore the role of these anesthetics on the migration and activity of MMP-2 in glioma cells. METHODOLOGY Cultured U87MG cells were pretreated with sevoflurane or thiopental and in vitro wound healing scratch assay was carried out to analyze their effect on migration of these cells. Gelatin zymography was carried out to examine the effect of these anesthetics on tumor cell MMP-2 activity using the conditioned media 24 h after pretreatment. Cell viability was analyzed using 3-[4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl]-2,5 diphenyl tetrazolium bromide (MTT) assay. RESULTS U87MG cells exposed to 2.5% sevoflurane or different concentrations of thiopental significantly decreased migration and activity of MMP-2 compared to control. No effect was seen on the viability of these cells after pretreatment with sevoflurane or thiopental. CONCLUSION/SIGNIFICANCE These results suggest that both sevoflurane and thiopental have inhibitory effect on the migration and MMP-2 activity in glioma cells. Thus, it is important that the choice of anesthetics to be used during glioma surgery takes into account their inhibitory properties against the tumor cells.

Abstract
Surgery remains the mainstay treatment in the majority of solid cancers. Anesthetics and analgesics used during the perioperative period may modulate the innate and adaptive immune system, inflammation and angiogenesis, and have a direct effect on cancer cells that could ultimately modify oncological outcomes. For instance, volatile anesthetics and opioid analgesics have shown predominantly pro-tumor effects, while propofol, non-steroid anti-inflammatory drugs have mostly anticancer effects. Researchers have been especially interested in investigating the association between the use of regional anesthesia techniques and the postoperative survival of patients with cancers. Since the results of the current retrospective studies are conflicting, several researchers are conducting prospective randomized trials.

Abstract
Sevoflurane, one of the most commonly used volatile anesthetics in clinical treatment, has been shown to induce a widespread increase in brain apoptosis. However, the underlying mechanism is still unknown. Sestrin 2 has been recently shown to regulate intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS) levels and play a crucial role in p53-dependent antioxidant defenses. In this study, our results indicated that administration of Sevoflurane elevated the gene and protein expression of Sestrin-2 in a dose dependent manner in human neuroblastoma M17 cells. It was shown that silence of Sestrin-2 by small RNA interference (siRNA) ominously exacerbated the increase in intracellular ROS and reduction of SOD activity induced by Sevoflurane treatment. Notably, knockdown of Sestrin-2 in M17 cells significantly increases the number of apoptotic cells after treatment with Sevoflurane. Mechanistically, we also found that Sevoflurane treatment resulted in a reduced amount of the cytosolic anti-apoptotic protein Bcl-2 but an increased amount of Bax, which was exacerbated by knockdown of Sestrin-2. In addition, knockdown of Sestrin-2 remarkably increased the elevated cleaved Caspase-3 expression. Finally, we showed that the induction of Sestrin-2 by Sevoflurane was mediated by p53. These results suggest that the suppressive effects of Sestrin-2 on neuroapoptosis against the Sevoflurane anesthesia in neuronal cells might be associated with modulation of mitochondrial pathway.

Abstract
The incidence of Alzheimer's disease (AD) in individuals >65 years of age is 13% and ~66 million individuals in this age group undergo surgery annually under anesthesia. It is therefore important to determine whether commonly used inhaled anesthetics induce cytotoxicity, which may lead to neurodegeneration. Findings from several studies suggest that the anesthetics, isoflurane, sevoflurane and desflurane, may activate caspases, increase the synthesis and accumulation of β-amyloid (Aβ) protein, and induce hyperphosphorylation of tau proteins, all of which are cellular responses consistent with the neuropathogenesis of AD. Other studies have arrived at different and occasionally contradictory conclusions. The present review attempts to resolve this discrepancy by reviewing previous studies, which have investigated the effects of commonly used inhaled anesthetics on the synthesis and accumulation of Aβ, tau pathology and cognitive function. The possible underlying mechanism was also reviewed. However, several aspects of this phenomenon remain to be elucidated. Further studies are required to fully examine anesthesia-induced neurotoxicity and elucidate the effect of inhaled anesthetics on the onset and progression of AD.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Growing evidences indicate that inhalational anaesthetics can enhance the growth and malignant potential of tumour cells and may affect tumour recurrence after surgery. Tumour stem cells play a vital role in tumour recurrence. This study investigates the effect of sevoflurane on glioma stem cells (GSCs) in vitro and the underlying molecular mechanisms in this process. METHODS Cultured GSCs were exposed to clinically relevant concentrations and durations of sevoflurane exposure. Cell proliferation and self-renewal capacity were determined. Expression of the stem cell marker CD133, vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), hypoxia-inducible factors (HIFs), and phosphorylated Akt, which is a protein kinase invoved in multiple cellular processes, were measured using western blotting. Small interfering RNAs and an Akt inhibitor were used to investigate specific pathways. RESULTS Compared with controls, cells exposed to 2% sevoflurane for 6 h induced a larger number of proliferated cells (31.2±7.6% vs 19.0±5.8%; P<0.01). Levels of CD133, VEGF, HIF-1α, HIF-2α, and p-Akt were up-regulated by sevoflurane in a time- and concentration-dependent manner. Small interfering RNA against HIFs decreased the percentage of proliferating GSCs after sevoflurane exposure and pre-treatment of cells with an Akt inhibitor abrogated the expression of HIFs induced by sevoflurane. CONCLUSIONS Sevoflurane can promote the expansion of human GSCs through HIFs in vitro. Inhaled anaesthetics may enhance tumour growth through tumour stem cells.

Abstract
This study established an aged rat model of cognitive dysfunction using anesthesia with 2% isoflurane and 80% oxygen for 2 hours. Twenty-four hours later, Y-maze test results showed that isoflurane significantly impaired cognitive function in aged rats. Gas chromatography-mass spectrometry results showed that isoflurane also significantly increased the levels of N,N-diethylacetamide, n-ethylacetamide, aspartic acid, malic acid and arabinonic acid in the hippocampus of isoflurane-treated rats. Moreover, aspartic acid, N,N-diethylacetamide, n-ethylacetamide and malic acid concentration was positively correlated with the degree of cognitive dysfunction in the isoflurane-treated rats. It is evident that hippocampal metabolite changes are involved in the formation of cognitive dysfunction after isoflurane anesthesia. To further verify these results, this study cultured hippocampal neurons in vitro, which were then treated with aspartic acid (100 μmol/L). Results suggested that aspartic acid concentration in the hippocampus may be a biomarker for predicting the occurrence and disease progress of cognitive dysfunction.

Abstract
With the advent of ultrasound and improvements in equipment, the applications of regional anesthesia in the pediatric population have continued to expand. Although frequently used for postoperative analgesia or as a means of avoiding general anesthesia in patients with comorbid conditions, the adjunctive use of regional anesthesia during general anesthesia may effectively decrease the intraoperative requirements for intravenous and volatile agents, thereby providing a more rapid awakening and earlier tracheal extubation. More recently, the limitation of the requirements for volatile and other anesthetic agents may be desirable, given concerns regarding the potential impact of these agents on neurocognitive outcome in neonates and infants. Several authors have demonstrated the potential utility of combining a neuraxial technique (spinal or epidural anesthesia) with general anesthesia in neonates and infants undergoing intraabdominal procedures. We review the literature regarding the combined use of neuraxial and general anesthesia in neonates and infants during major abdominal surgery, discuss its potential applications in this population, and review the techniques of such practice.

Abstract
Many of the most common anesthetics are used in surgical oncology, yet effects on cancer cells are still not known. Anesthesia technique could differentially affect cancer recurrence in oncologic patients undergoing surgery, due to immunosuppression, stimulation of angiogenesis, and dissemination of residual cancer cells. Data support the use of intravenous anesthetics, such as propofol anesthesia, thanks to antitumoral protective effects inhibiting cyclooxygenase 2 and prostaglandins E2 in cancer cells, and stimulation of immunity response; a restriction in the use of volatile anesthetics; restriction in the use of opioids as they suppress humoral and cellular immunity, and their chronic use favors angiogenesis and development of metastases; use of locoregional anesthesia compared with general anesthesia, as locoregional appears to reduce cancer recurrence after surgery. However, these findings must be interpreted cautiously as there is no evidence that simple changes in the practice of anesthesia can have a positive impact on postsurgical survival of cancer patients.

Abstract
Although general anesthetics have long been considered neuroprotective, there are growing concerns about neurotoxicity. Preclinical studies clearly demonstrated that commonly used general anesthetics are both neuroprotective and neurotoxic, with unclear mechanisms. Recent studies suggest that differential activation of inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate receptors, a calcium release channel located on the membrane of endoplasmic reticulum (ER), play important role on determining the fate of neuroprotection or neurotoxicity by general anesthetics. General anesthetics at low concentrations for short duration are sublethal stress factors which induce endogenous neuroprotective mechanisms and provide neuroprotection via adequate activation of InsP3R and moderate calcium release from ER. On the other hand, general anesthetics at high concentrations for prolonged duration are lethal stress factors which induce neuronal damage by over activation of InsP3R and excessive and abnormal Ca(2+) release from ER. This review emphasizes the dual effects of both neuroprotection and neurotoxicity via differential regulation of intracellular Ca(2+) homeostasis by commonly used general anesthetics and recommends strategy to maximize neuroprotective but minimize neurotoxic effects of general anesthetics.

Abstract
A/J strain mice have a high spontaneous incidence of cleft lip (ICL) and/or palate. The primary palate-related effects of sevoflurane on developing A/J strain mouse embryos (embryos) were studied using a whole-embryo culture (WEC) system. This system could separate the direct effects of sevoflurane from those that are maternally mediated. A total of 205 10.5-d embryos were cultured for 24 h in either a control group (control gas: 95% O2 and 5% CO2) or sevoflurane-administered groups (1/4, 1/2, and 1 minimum alveolar concentration (MAC) with control gas) for 8 h. After 16 h, 11.5-d culture embryos were examined in terms of crown-rump length, number of somites, and protein content. Crown-rump length in the 1 MAC was significantly shorter than in the control group (p < 0.05). Protein content in the 1/2 MAC (p < 0.05) and 1 MAC (p < 0.001) was significantly lower than in the control group. The ICL showed no significant differences between each group. (The ICL rose with an increase in the sevoflurane concentration, but this was not significant). The positive findings in this study indicate that a WEC system is useful for studying the mechanisms of ICL (teratogenicity) associated with sevoflurane.

Abstract
Lung alveolar epithelial cells are the first barrier exposed to volatile anesthetics, such as sevoflurane, prior to reaching the targeted neuronal cells. Previously, the effects of volatile anesthetics on lung surfactant were studied primarily with physicochemical models and there has been little experimental data from cell cultures. Therefore it was investigated whether sevoflurane induces apoptosis of A549 lung epithelial cells. A549 cells were exposed to sevoflurane via a calibrated vaporizer with a 2 l/min flow in a gas‑tight chamber at 37˚C. The concentration of sevoflurane in Dulbecco's modified Eagle's medium was detected with gas chromatography. Untreated cells and cells treated with 2 µM daunorubicin hydrochloride (DRB) were used as negative and positive controls, respectively. Apoptosis factors, including the level of ATP, apoptotic‑bodies by terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase‑mediated dUTP nick end labeling (TUNEL) assay, DNA damage and the level of caspase 3/7 were analyzed. Cells treated with sevoflurane showed a significant reduction in ATP compared with untreated cells. Effects in the DRB group were greater than in the sevoflurane group. The difference of TUNEL staining between the sevoflurane and untreated groups was statistically significant. DNA degradation was observed in the sevoflurane and DRB groups, however this was not observed in the untreated group. The sevoflurane and DRB groups induced increased caspase 3/7 activation compared with untreated cells. These results suggest that sevoflurane induces apoptosis in A549 cells. In conclusion, 5% sevoflurane induced apoptosis of A549 lung alveolar epithelial cells, which resulted in decreased cell viability, increased apoptotic bodies, impaired DNA integrality and increased levels of caspase 3/7.

Abstract
CONTEXT The modern practice of anesthesia is highly dependent ona group of anesthetic drugs which many of them are metabolized in the liver. EVIDENCE ACQUISITION The liver, of course, usually tolerates this burden. However, this is not always an unbroken rule. Anesthetic induced apoptosis has gained great concern during the last years; especially considering the neurologic system. RESULTS However, we have evidence that there is some concern regarding their effects on the liver cells. Fortunately not all the anesthetics are blamed and even some could be used safely, based on the available evidence. CONCLUSIONS Besides, there are some novel agents, yet under research, which could affect the future of anesthetic agents' fate regarding their hepatic effects.

Abstract
Since accumulating evidence suggests the application of anesthetics may increase the risk of Alzheimer’s disease (AD), we investigated the cytotoxicity of inhaled general anesthesia in neurons and its underlying mechanism. Using primary cultured rat hippocampal neurons as the study model, here we show that isoflurane increases vulnerability to intracellular or extracellular amyloid β with or without serum deprivation. This isoflurane-induced effect is mediated by the downregulation of miR-214 level that lead to an elevated expression of Bax, a prominent target for miR-214. We conclude that isoflurane increases cell death in the presence of amyloid β by increasing Bax level through downregulating miR-214. Our data provide a new insight for inhaled anesthetics toxicity and indicate a possible mechanistic link between anesthetic application and neurodegenration in AD.
