Background: Surgical mortality data are collected routinely in high-income countries, yet virtually no low-or middle-income countries have outcome surveillance in place. The aim was prospectively to collect worldwide mortality data following emergency abdominal surgery, comparing findings across countries with a low, middle or high Human Development Index (HDI).Methods: This was a prospective, multicentre, cohort study. Self-selected hospitals performing emergency surgery submitted prespecified data for consecutive patients from at least one 2-week interval during July to December 2014. Postoperative mortality was analysed by hierarchical multivariable logistic regression.
Ferroptosis is caused by the iron-mediated accumulation of lipid peroxidation, which is distinct from apoptosis and necroptosis. Necrostatin-1 inhibits receptor-interacting serine/threonine-protein kinase 1 (RIPK1) to initiate necroptosis; it also inhibits indoleamine 2,3-dioxygenase (IDO) to regulate tumor immunity. However, few studies have examined the off-target effect of necrostatin-1 on the ferroptosis pathway. The present study examined whether necrostatin-1 could interrupt ferroptosis induced by system xc- inhibitors (sulfasalazine and erastin) and a glutathione peroxidase 4 inhibitor (RSL3) in Huh7 and SK-HEP-1 cells. Necrostatin-1 completely prevented decreases in cell viability induced by sulfasalazine and erastin; it partially blunted decreases in cell viability induced by RSL3. Necrostatin-1, ferrostatin-1, and deferoxamine repressed sulfasalazine-provoked membrane permeabilization, as detected by 7-aminoactinomycin D staining and lipid peroxidation measured using a C11-BODIPY probe. However, other RIPK1 inhibitors (necrostatin-1s and GSK2982772) and an IDO inhibitor (1-methyl-D-tryptophan) did not recover the decrease in cell viability induced by sulfasalazine. Necrostatin-1 potentiated sulfasalazine-induced expression of xCT, a catalytic subunit of system xc- in these cells. These results demonstrated that necrostatin-1 blocked ferroptosis through a mechanism independent from RIPK1 and IDO inhibition in Huh7 and SK-HEP-1 cells, indicating that its antioxidant activity should be considered when using necrostatin-1 as a RIPK1 inhibitor.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
