  • Title: Effects of Isoflurane on the Cell Pyroptosis in the Lung Cancer Through the HMGB1/RAGE Pathway.
    Author: Gao T, Huang Z.
    Journal: Appl Biochem Biotechnol; 2024 Jul; 196(7):3786-3799. PubMed ID: 37782455.
    Abstract:
    There are many common malignant tumors in clinic. Among them, lung cancer is caused by the failure of suction system, which seriously threatens the life safety of patients. Recent studies have found that anesthetics have achieved certain efficacy in many cancers. Isoflurane, an inhaled anesthetic, is used in this study to explore whether it can prevent the lung cancer development. The A549 and H1299 were purchased. Cell viability was tested by CCK-8 experiment. Cell death and pyroptosis were analyzed by PI staining as well as flow cytometry. HMGB1 as well as RAGE protein levels were tested by Western blot. The same is true of pyroxin-related proteins. The HMGB1 as well as RAGE levels in the lung cancer tissues were determined by Western blot along with immunohistochemistry. Isoflurane treatment can reduce cell viability and promote cell pyroptosis. Additionally, the protein levels of cleaved caspase-1, IL-1β, GSDMD-N, NLRP3, HMGB1, and RAGE were dramatically up-regulated in the lung cancer after isoflurane treatment. Down-regulated proteins in lung cancer tissues include HMGB1 and RAGE proteins. After HMGB1 knockdown or FPS-ZM1 treatment, the role of isoflurane in the lung cancer was neutralized. This study demonstrated that isoflurane induced the cell pyroptosis in the lung cancer through activating the HMGB1/RAGE pathway.
