Background: Propofol has been reported to provide protection against ischemia-reperfusion injury. Nuclear transcription factor kappa B (NFkappaB) plays a key role in oxidative stress and the inflammatory response during ischemia-reperfusion. We compared the effect of propofol with sevoflurane on kidney NFkappaB expression and systemic inflammatory responses induced by aortic clamping.
Methods: Twenty piglets were divided into four groups: sham surgery group with propofol (group SP, n = 5); sham group with sevoflurane (group SS, n = 5); and suprarenal clamping for 30 min with aorta-aortic bypass under propofol (group CP, n = 5) or sevoflurane (group CS, n = 5) anesthesia. Propofol was administered at 4 mg x kg(-1) x h(-1) i.v. and sevoflurane given at 1.5% inspiratory concentration. Peripheral blood and kidney biopsies were taken before the start of surgery, 15 min after unclamping the aorta, 24, 48, 72 h, and 7 days after surgery. Plasma creatinine, myeloperoxidase, tumor necrosis factor-alpha, interleukin 1-beta; and kidney superoxide anion and superoxidase dismutase were measured. The expression of inducible nitric oxide synthase and renal tissue NFkappaB was measured using Western blotting.
Results: Compared with the CS group, animals in the CP group had lower concentrations of myeloperoxidase, tumor necrosis factor-alpha, interleukin 1beta, superoxide anion, superoxidase dismutase (P < 0.05) from 24 to 72 h after surgery and diminished NFkappaB expression and inducible nitric oxide synthase activity (P < 0.05) at 48 and 72 h after surgery, respectively.
Conclusions: Compared with sevoflurane, propofol administration during suprarenal aortic clamping and unclamping led to modulation of markers of inflammation and decreased NFkappaB expression.

Tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-α) is a well-known pro-inflammatory cytokine originally recognized for its ability to induce apoptosis and cell death. However, recent research has revealed that TNF-α also plays a crucial role as a mediator of cell survival, influencing a wide range of cellular functions. The signaling of TNF-α is mediated through two distinct receptors, TNFR1 and TNFR2, which trigger various intracellular pathways, including NF-κB, JNK, and caspase signaling cascades.

Acute pancreatitis (AP) is an inflammatory disease of the pancreas and a complex process involving multiple factors, with mitochondrial damage playing a crucial role. Mitochondrial dysfunction is now considered a key driver in the development of AP. This dysfunction often presents as increased oxidative stress, altered membrane potential and permeability, and mitochondrial DNA damage and mutations.

Noise-induced hearing loss (NIHL) is primarily driven by inflammatory processes within the cochlea, where noise exposure triggers the activation of the NOD-like receptor protein 3 (NLRP3) inflammasome, leading to an inflammatory cascade. The interaction between increased NLRP3 expression and NF-κB activity can further amplify cochlear inflammation. Our findings reveal that (R)-PFI-2 hydrochloride, a selective inhibitor of the SETD7 enzyme, effectively inhibits the activation of the cochlear NF-κB pathway, suppresses the release of pro-inflammatory factors, and prevents inflammasome assembly.

Purpose: The study aimed to investigate the effect and mechanism of monotropein on renal cell carcinoma (RCC).
Methods: After monotropein and NF-κB receptor activator (RANKL) treatment, cell proliferation, invasion, and apoptosis were evaluated using CCK-8, Transwell, and flow cytometry. Primary macrophages co-cultured with monotropein-treated RCC cells were analyzed to evaluate macrophage polarization using qRT-PCR, western blot, and ELISA assays by detecting the expression of M2 markers (CD206, CD168) and cytokines (IL-10, TGF-β).

Cisplatin (CIS) is a chemotherapeutic agent frequently used in cancer treatment. However, depending on the dosage and duration of use, CIS can lead to hepatotoxicity and nephrotoxicity. Iristectorin A (IRIS), a natural flavonoid, has been found to exhibit antioxidant and protective effects.
