Endotheliopathy of liver sinusoidal endothelial cells in liver disease

Liver is the largest solid organ in the abdominal cavity, with sinusoid occupying about half of its volume. Under liver disease, hemodynamics in the liver tissue dynamically change, resulting in injury to liver sinusoidal endothelial cells (LSECs). We discuss the injury of LSECs in liver diseases in this article. Generally, in noninflamed tissues, vascular endothelial cells maintain quiescence of circulating leukocytes, and unnecessary blood clotting is inhibited by multiple antithrombotic factors produced by the endothelial cells. In the setting of inflammation, injured endothelial cells lose these functions, defined as inflammatory endotheliopathy. In chronic hepatitis C, inflammatory endotheliopathy in LSECs contributes to platelet accumulation in the liver tissue, and the improvement of thrombocytopenia by splenectomy is attenuated in cases with severe hepatic inflammation. In COVID-19, LSEC endotheliopathy induced by interleukin (IL)-6 trans-signaling promotes neutrophil accumulation and platelet microthrombosis in the liver sinusoids, resulting in liver injury. IL-6 trans-signaling promotes the expression of intercellular adhesion molecule-1, chemokine (C-X-C motif) ligand (CXCL1), and CXCL2, which are the neutrophil chemotactic mediators, and P-selectin, E-selectin, and von Willebrand factor, which are involved in platelet adhesion to endothelial cells, in LSECs. Restoring LSECs function is important for ameliorating liver injury. Prevention of endotheliopathy is a potential therapeutic strategy in liver disease.     

Interleukin-6 and granulocytic elastase levels following laparoscopic cholecystectomy

Interleukin-6 (IL-6) levels have been shown to correlate well with the magnitude of surgical stress. Serum IL-6 and plasma granulocytic elastase levels, 24 h after surgery, were determined in 12 patients who underwent open major surgery [MS group; esophageal carcinoma (n=5), gastric carcinoma (n=3), colorectal carcinoma (n=4) 5 patients who had open cholecystectomy [OC group] and 17 patients who had laparoscopic cholecystectomy [LC group]. IL-6 levels correlated significantly with the duration of surgery (r=0.685,P < 0.01) and with intraoperative blood loss (r=0.583,P < 0.02). However, there was no significant correlation between granulocytic elastase and the duration of surgery or blood loss. Plasma IL-6 levels in the LC group (21±3 pg/ml) were significantly lower than those in the OC group (47±5 pg/ml) and the MS group (186±36pg/ml) (P<0.05;P<0.01). However, there was no significant difference in granulocytic elastase levels between the LC group (318±8g/l), the OC group (360±130 gmg/ml), and the MS group (701±344 g/l). Increased IL-6 levels correlated well with increased duration of surgery. The lower IL-6 levels following laparoscopic cholecystectomy may therefore be indicative of lower surgical stress associated with laparoscopic cholecystectomy.     

Plasma Factor Triggering Alternative Complement Pathway Activation by Liposomes

Several plasma components, such as complement (C) components, play a role in the clearance of liposomes from the circulation. The interactions between liposomes and the C system were investigated in this study. Multilamellar vesicle (MLV) liposomes, which were damaged by activation of the complement, became susceptible depending on the density of cetylmannoside (Man) on the liposome membrane, and activation proceeded through the alternative C pathway as observed for liposomes without Man (PC-MLV) (K. Funato et al, Biochim. Biophys. Acta 1103:198–204, 1992). In addition, the capacity of Man-modified liposomes (Man-MLV) to activate the alternative C pathway was abolished by preadsorption of plasma with Man-MLV but not with PC-MLV. The results suggest that a specific plasma factor adsorbed with Man-MLV was responsible for the augmentation of the C activation and, further, that the rapid clearance of Man-MLV from the circulation is caused by both enhanced C-mediated liposome permeability and enhanced C-mediated phagocytosis of liposomes.

Soft Drugs. XX. Design,Synthesis, and Evaluation of Ultra-Short Acting Beta-Blockers

A new type of ultra-short acting -blocker which might prove advantageous in treating acute arrhythmias was designed, synthesized and investigated. Based on the soft drug inactive metabolite approach, the inactive phenylacetic acid metabolite of both metoprolol and atenolol was reactivated by esterification with sulfur-containing aliphatic alcohols. Since the sulfur-containing moieties are labile to the ubiquitous esterases, the new compounds should be inactivated by a one step enzymatic cleavage back to the inactive phenylacetic acid derivative. Pharmacological and pharmacokinetic profiles of the new compounds were evaluated in rats and rabbits. Isoproterenol-induced tachycardia was inhibited with short-term infusion of each compound. This tachycardia blocking effect rapidly disappeared upon termination of infusion, while -blocking activity was 2–4-fold longer after comparable doses of the short-acting -blocker, esmolol. The rapid recovery from the -receptor blockade is believed due to fast hydrolysis of the soft drugs in the body. This is supported from in vitro results showing the t_l/2 of esmolol is about 10-fold longer than the new soft drugs in rat, rabbit, dog and human blood. Hydrolysis studies in phosphate buffered solutions indicated that the esters are labile to base-catalyzed hydrolysis. However, the relative t_1/2 values measured in biological media compared to phosphate buffered solution clearly support rapid enzymatic cleavage of the soft drugs. Interestingly, one of the soft -blockers, the sulfonyl ester derivative, showed a unique property of exhibiting good -receptor blocking activity without significant hypotensive action.     

Interleukin-1Β, interleukin-6, and growth hormone levels in human follicular fluid

Purpose To investigate possible relationships of interleukin-1 (IL-1, interleukin-6 (IL-6), and growth hormone (GH) with biochemical variables in human follicular fluid (FF) and selected in vitro fertilization (IVF) parameters.Methods A total of 67 FF samples (n=67 patients undergoing oocyte retrieval for IVF) was evaluated. IL-1, IL-6, GH, hLH, FSH, PRL, hCG, testosterone, total protein, fibrinogen, sialic acid, ₁-antitrypsin, plasminogen levels, and spectrophotometric absorbance at 458 nm were analyzed for selected FF. IL-6 and GH levels of serum and FF samples were also compared (n=23).Results Immunoreactive levels of IL-1, IL-6, and GH were detected in all FF samples. A positive correlation existed for IL-6 (r=0.5069, P=0.0161 when serum-to-FF levels were compared (concentration ratio, 11.857). Smaller-volume follicles (<4 ml) were associated with high IL-1 levels (P=0.0229, and an additional tendency of IL-1 to decrease with increasing embryo cleavage and scoring was observed. With the exception of a weak positive correlation between follicular IL-1 and testosterone levels (r=0.3128, P=0.025, no other relationship with biochemical variables or IVF parameters (etiology, e.g., endometriosis) could be implicated.Conclusions Substantially higher IL-6 levels occurred in FF compared to serum, thus supporting intrafollicular production. Interleukin- 1,IL-6, and GH levels in FF are, however, unsuitable markers for in vitro fertilization outcome.
