M6-Iva was rarely detected by LC-MS/MS in epithelial cells from participants taking ivacaftor, although it was detected in plasma.

Ferroptosis is implicated in several lung diseases. Therefore, the disparate effects and underlying mechanisms of the two commonly used anesthetics (sevoflurane (Sev) and propofol) on VATS-induced ALI need to be clarified. In the present study, enrolled patients were randomly allocated to receive Sev (group S) or propofol anesthesia (group P). Intraoperative oxygenation, morphology of the lung tissue, expression of ZO-1, tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), interleukin-6 (IL-6), superoxide dismutase (SOD), glutathione (GSH), Fe²⁺, glutathione peroxidase 4 (GPX4), and phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI3K)/protein kinase B (AKT)/nuclear factor erythroid-2-related factor 2 (Nrf2)/heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1) pathway in the lung tissue as well as the expression of TNF-α and IL-6 in plasma were measured. Postoperative complications were recorded. Of the 85 initially screened patients scheduled for VATS, 62 were enrolled in either group S (n = 32) or P (n = 30). Compared with propofol, Sev substantially (1) improved intraoperative oxygenation; (2) relieved histopathological lung injury; (3) increased ZO-1 protein expression; (4) decreased the levels of TNF-α and IL-6 in both the lung tissue and plasma; (5) increased the contents of GSH and SOD but decreased Fe²⁺ concentration; (6) upregulated the protein expression of p-AKT, Nrf2, HO-1, and GPX4. No significant differences in the occurrence of postoperative outcomes were observed between both groups. In summary, Sev treatment, in comparison to propofol anesthesia, may suppress local lung and systemic inflammatory responses by activating the PI3K/Akt/Nrf2/HO-1 pathway and inhibiting ferroptosis. This cascade of effects contributes to the maintenance of pulmonary epithelial barrier permeability, alleviation of pulmonary injury, and enhancement of intraoperative oxygenation in patients undergoing VATS.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":20799,"journal":{"name":"Pulmonary pharmacology & therapeutics","volume":"86 ","pages":"Article 102312"},"PeriodicalIF":3.3,"publicationDate":"2024-06-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141437382","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Comparing the difference in these two treatment regimens is essential since captopril is a continuous-use medication. Thus, this study explored the role of the transient receptor potential vanilloid 1 (TRPV1) in the effects of captopril on rat airways using two treatment regimens. Airway resistance, bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL), and histological and immunohistochemical analyses were conducted in rats administered with single or repeated doses of captopril. This study showed that the hyperresponsiveness to bradykinin and capsaicin in captopril-treated rats was acute. Treatment with the selective B₂ antagonist, HOE140 reduced bradykinin hyperresponsiveness and abolished capsaicin exacerbation in single-dose captopril-treated rats. Likewise, degeneration of TRPV1-positive neurones also reduced hyperresponsiveness to bradykinin. Single-dose captopril treatment increased leukocyte infiltration in the BAL when compared with the vehicle and this increase was reduced by TRPV1-positive neurone degeneration. However, when compared with the vehicle treatment, animals treated with repeated doses of captopril showed an increase in leukocyte influx as early as 1 h after the last captopril treatment, but this effect disappeared after 24 h. Additionally, an increase in TRPV1 expression occurred only in animals who received repeated captopril doses and the degeneration of TRPV1-positive neurones attenuated TRPV1 upregulation. In conclusion, these data strongly indicate that a treatment regimen involving multiple doses of captopril not only enhances sensitisation but also upregulates TRPV1 expression. Consequently, targeting TRPV1 could serve as a promising strategy to reduce the negative impact of captopril on the airways.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":20799,"journal":{"name":"Pulmonary pharmacology & therapeutics","volume":"86 ","pages":"Article 102302"},"PeriodicalIF":3.2,"publicationDate":"2024-05-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141186760","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
