VCP controls KCC2 degradation through FAF1 recruitment and accelerates emergence from anesthesia.

Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A

January 2025

Department of Medical Neuroscience, SUSTech Center for Pain Medicine, School of Medicine, Southern University of Science and Technology, Shenzhen 518055, China.

Ubiquitin-proteasomal degradation of K/Cl cotransporter 2 (KCC2) in the ventral posteromedial nucleus (VPM) has been demonstrated to serve as a common mechanism by which the brain emerges from anesthesia and regains consciousness. Ubiquitin-proteasomal degradation of KCC2 during anesthesia is driven by E3 ligase Fbxl4. However, the mechanism by which ubiquitinated KCC2 is targeted to the proteasome has not been elucidated.

Anesthetic Approaches and Their Impact on Cancer Recurrence and Metastasis: A Comprehensive Review.

Cancers (Basel)

December 2024

Department of Anesthesiology and Pain Medicine, Seoul St. Mary's Hospital, College of Medicine, The Catholic University of Korea, Seoul 06591, Republic of Korea.

Cancer recurrence and metastasis remain critical challenges following surgical resection, influenced by complex perioperative mechanisms. This review explores how surgical stress triggers systemic changes, such as neuroendocrine responses, immune suppression, and inflammation, which promote the dissemination of residual cancer cells and circulating tumor cells. Key mechanisms, such as epithelial-mesenchymal transition and angiogenesis, further enhance metastasis, while hypoxia-inducible factors and inflammatory responses create a microenvironment conducive to tumor progression.

Article Synopsis
  • HCN ion channels play a key role in cellular activity and pain perception, with propofol acting as an analgesic by inhibiting their function.
  • Researchers used a propofol analog to pinpoint binding sites on the human HCN1 isoform, revealing a specific pocket formed by certain residues in the channel.
  • Mutations in this binding pocket affect propofol's ability to modulate HCN1 currents, highlighting its specific binding mechanism and offering insights for developing targeted HCN channel modulators.

Purpose: Propofol, a widely utilized anesthetic, is employed to alleviate pain and anxiety in outpatient oocyte retrieval procedures. However, its potential impact and safety profile in the context of fertilization and embryo transfer (IVF-ET) remain unclear.

Methods: This retrospective study enrolled 1187 patients undergoing IVF-ET, and divided into two groups depending on whether they received propofol (propofol group, n=140) or not (control group, n=1047) for anesthesia during oocyte retrieval.

The effect of different anesthetics on the incidence of AKI and AKD after neurosurgical procedures.

PLoS One

December 2024

Department of Medicine, Division of Nephrology and Hypertension, Division of Pulmonary and Critical Care Medicine, Mayo Clinic, Rochester, NY, United States of America.

Acute kidney injury (AKI) incidence after neurosurgical operations has been reported as 10-14%. The literature regarding the incidence of nosocomial acute kidney disease (AKD) following neurosurgery is scarce. This retrospective, single-center, observational study aimed to assess the impact of different anaesthetics on development of postoperative AKI and persistent AKD in neurosurgical patients.
