Background: Doxorubicin is a chemotherapy medication used to treat several types of cancer. Its major adverse effect is cardiotoxicity, which may limit its use. Doxorubicin-induced cardiotoxicity (DIC), once developed, carries a poor prognosis. Therefore strategies to prevent or treat DIC are of paramount importance but have not yet been fully developed. Being NAD + a critical nucleotide which is involved in oxy-reduction reactions and CD38 the main NAD + -consuming enzyme responsible for NAD levels regulation and homeostasis, we aim to investigate the link of CD38 and NAD + metabolism in DIC and its potential role as a therapeutic target. Methods: We compared Wild-type (WT) control mice with WT mice treated with a single dose injection of 15 mg/kg of doxorubicin who received vehicle or an antibody that blocksCD38 ecto-enzymatic activity. We also compared genetically CD38 catalytic inactive (CI) mice treated or not with the same single dose injection. Results: Doxorubicin caused a decrease in Ejection Fraction (EF) in WT mice. We also observed that CD38 CI mice treated with doxorubicin did not have changes in EF compared to their control. When compared to WT receiving just doxorubicin, WT mice treated also with the antibody had a trend to improve EF. As for exercise performance, our results show a decrease in exercise capacity induced by doxorubicin that was reversed in the antibody group and did not happen in the CD38 CI mice treated with doxorubicin. Doxorubicin caused a decrease in heart rate variability (HRV) which was improved in the antibody treated group. Moreover, our results show a survival rate that is similar to what has been previously shown, with 50% mortality associated with doxorubicin. Blockage of CD38 activity with antibody reduced mortality in this model to approximately 20%. Mechanistically, we did not observe decreases in NAD+ levels induced by Doxorubicin. However, boost of NAD induced by blocking CD38 was related to protection against DIC. Conclusion: Our results indicate that the damage mechanism of DIC may not be related directly with NAD decrease, but NAD boosting induced by CD38 blockage seems to have a positive effect in protection against cardiac dysfunction related to this chemotherapeutic treatment.

Background: Phospholamban (PLN) inhibition enhances calcium cycling and is a potential novel therapy for heart failure (HF). Antisense oligonucleotides (ASOs) are a promising tool for unmet medical needs. Nonviral vector use of locked nucleic acid (LNA)-modified ASOs (LNA-ASOs), which shows strong binding to target RNAs and is resistant to nuclease, is considered to have a potential for use in novel therapeutics in the next decades. Thus, the efficacy of a single-dose injection of LNA-ASO for cardiac disease needs to be elucidated. We assessed the therapeutic efficacy of a single-dose LNA-ASO injection targeting PLN in pressure overload-induced cardiac dysfunction. Methods and Results: Mice intravenously injected with Cy3-labeled LNA-ASO displayed Cy3 fluorescence in the liver and heart 24 hours after injection. Subsequently, male C57BL/6 mice were subjected to sham or transverse aortic constriction surgery; after 3 weeks, these were treated with PLN-targeting LNA-ASO (0.3 mg/kg) or scrambled LNA-ASO. Cardiac function was measured by echocardiography before and 1 week after injection. Phospholamban-targeting LNA-ASO treatment significantly improved fractional shortening (FS) by 6.5%, whereas administration of the scrambled LNA-ASO decreased FS by 4.0%. Conclusion: Our study revealed that a single-dose injection of PLN-targeting LNA-ASO improved contractility in pressure overload-induced cardiac dysfunction, suggesting that LNA-ASO is a promising tool for hypertensive HF treatment.

Background and Aim. Aparallel, randomized, double blinded, placebo-controlled trial study was designed to assess the efficacy of single low dose of intravenous magnesium sulfate on post-total abdominal hysterectomy (TAH) pain relief under balanced general anesthesia.Subject and Methods. Forty women undergoing TAH surgery were assigned to two magnesium sulfate (N=20) and normal saline (N=20) groups randomly. The magnesium group received magnesium sulfate 50 mg·kg−1in 100 mL of normal saline solution i.v as single-dose, just 15 minutes before induction of anesthesia whereas patients in control group received 100 mL of 0.9% sodium chloride solution at the same time. The same balanced general anesthesia was induced for two groups. Pethidine consumption was recorded over 24 hours precisely as postoperative analgesic. Pain score was evaluated with Numeric Rating Scale (NRS) at 0, 6, 12, and 24 hours after the surgeries.Results. Postoperative pain score was lower in magnesium group at 6, 12, and 24 hours after the operations significantly (P<0.05).Pethidinerequirement was significantly lower in magnesium group throughout 24 hours after the surgeries (P=0.0001).Conclusion. Single dose of magnesium sulfate during balanced general anesthesia could be considered as effective and safe method to reduce postoperative pain and opioid consumption after TAH.

Background A recent study showed that methylphenidate induces emergence from isoflurane general anesthesia. Isoflurane and propofol are general anesthetics that may have distinct molecular mechanisms of action. The objective of this study was to test the hypothesis that methylphenidate actively induces emergence from propofol general anesthesia. Methods Using adult rats, the effect of methylphenidate on time to emergence after a single bolus of propofol was determined. The ability of methylphenidate to restore righting during a continuous target-controlled infusion (TCI) of propofol was also tested. In a separate group of rats, a TCI of propofol was established and spectral analysis was performed on electroencephalogram recordings taken before and after methylphenidate administration. Results Methylphenidate decreased median time to emergence after a single dose of propofol from 735 s (95% CI: 598-897 s, n = 6) to 448 s (95% CI: 371-495 s, n = 6). The difference was statistically significant (P = 0.0051). During continuous propofol anesthesia with a median final target plasma concentration of 4.0 μg/ml (95% CI: 3.2-4.6, n = 6), none of the rats exhibited purposeful movements after injection of normal saline. After methylphenidate, however, all six rats promptly exhibited arousal and had restoration of righting with a median time of 82 s (95% CI: 30-166 s). Spectral analysis of electroencephalogram data demonstrated a shift in peak power from δ (less than 4 Hz) to θ (4-8 Hz) and β (12-30 Hz) after administration of methylphenidate, indicating arousal in 4/4 rats. Conclusions Methylphenidate decreases time to emergence after a single dose of propofol, and induces emergence during continuous propofol anesthesia in rats. Further study is warranted to test the hypothesis that methylphenidate induces emergence from propofol general anesthesia in humans.
