Effets du diabète de type 2 sur l’expression et l’activité des cytochromes P450 hépatiques et extra-hépatiques chez la souris C57BL/6 sous une diète riche en gras

Le diabète de type 2 (DT2) atteint environ 387 millions de personnes à l’échelle mondiale. Ces individus ont souvent recours à une polymédication pour contrôler leur glycémie, mais également pour prévenir et contrôler les comorbidités micro- et macrovasculaires associées au diabète. Or, aux doses usuelles, certains patients atteints de DT2 ont une réponse aux médicaments différente de celle des patients non-diabétiques. Des variabilités dans les dosages et les effets de certains médicaments, tels le clopidogrel, la warfarine, la cyclosporine et la tacrolimus, sont observées chez les patients diabétiques. Cette variabilité interindividuelle dans la réponse aux médicaments chez les patients avec DT2 constitue une problématique importante, car elle peut causer des échecs thérapeutiques, des effets indésirables et des toxicités médicamenteuses. Un des mécanismes sous-jacent proposé afin d’expliquer cette variabilité interindividuelle dans la réponse aux médicaments chez les patients diabétiques est que leur capacité à éliminer les médicaments par métabolisme soit affectée. De fait, des évidences supportent un lien entre les maladies avec composantes inflammatoires et une modulation de l’activité des enzymes du métabolisme. Certains médiateurs inflammatoires peuvent moduler l’expression et l’activité des protéines enzymatiques telles les cytochromes P450 (CYP450s), un système enzymatique majeur dans le métabolisme des médicaments. Plusieurs organes expriment différentes isoenzymes des CYP450s lesquelles peuvent contribuer au métabolisme local des médicaments et ainsi influencer leurs concentrations atteintes dans les organes cibles. L’objectif de cette étude est d’évaluer les effets du DT2 sur l’expression et l’activité des CYP450s afin d’identifier leur contribution à la variabilité interindividuelle dans la réponse aux médicaments en utilisant la souris diabétique sous diète riche en gras (DIO) comme modèle. Les travaux effectués dans le cadre de ce mémoire démontrent que les souris DIO présentent une modulation de l’expression et de l’activité des CYP450s. Nos résultats montrent que cette modulation est spécifique à certaines isoenzymes et variable selon les tissus. Ces travaux supportent que la présence du diabète avec obésité affecte les CYP450s hépatiques et extra-hépatiques, lesquels peuvent ainsi influencer les concentrations systémiques et les concentrations tissulaires, respectivement. D’une perspective future et translationnelle, notre étude mènera à une meilleure compréhension de la capacité d’élimination des médicaments chez les patients diabétiques et par conséquent, à proposer des dosages appropriés pour des médicaments métabolisés par les CYP450s chez les patients diabétiques : une avancée dans l’approche de la médecine personnalisée.Around 387 million people worldwide suffer from type 2 diabetes (T2D). Patients with T2D often require polypharmacy, not only to ensure glycaemic control, but also to prevent and control micro- and macrovascular comorbidities associated with T2D. However, clinical practice reveals that some diabetic patients show highly variable responses to different drugs in comparison with non-diabetic patients. Variable drug dosages and effects are observed for drugs such as clopidogrel, warfarin, cyclosporine and tacromilus. This intersubject variability in drug response in diabetic patients is an important issue as it may results in treatment failure, adverse effects or even drug toxicity. One of the underlying mechanisms suggested to explain the intersubject variability in drugs responses in diabetic patients is their modified ability to eliminate drugs through metabolism. Evidence support the association between inflammatory diseases, such as T2D, and an activity modulation of metabolism enzymes. It is known that these inflammatory processes can modulate the expression and activity of enzyme proteins, such as the cytochromes P450 (CYP450s), a major enzyme system in drug metabolism. Moreover, several organs express various CYP450s isoenzymes that may contribute to the local drug metabolism, thus influence the drugs concentration within the target organs. Therefore, the aim of this study is to assess the effects of T2D on the expression and activity of CYP450s in order to identify their responsibility in the intersubject response variability to drugs using diet-induced obesity (DIO) mice as a model. The work carried out as part of this thesis shows that there is a modulation of the expression and activity of CYP450s isoenzymes in the DIO mouse model. Our results indicate that this modulation occurs in an isoenzyme-specific and tissue-dependent fashion. This work supports that the presence of diabetes with obesity affects hepatic and extrahepatic CYP450s, which may influence the systemic and local drug concentrations, respectively. In a future and translational perspective, our study will lead to a better understanding of the drug elimination capacity in diabetic patients, and thus will prompt an appropriate dosage adjustment for drugs metabolized by CYP450s in diabetic patients: a step forward towards a more personalized medicine approach

Reducing the environmental impact of surgery on a global scale: systematic review and co-prioritization with healthcare workers in 132 countries

Abstract Background Healthcare cannot achieve net-zero carbon without addressing operating theatres. The aim of this study was to prioritize feasible interventions to reduce the environmental impact of operating theatres. Methods This study adopted a four-phase Delphi consensus co-prioritization methodology. In phase 1, a systematic review of published interventions and global consultation of perioperative healthcare professionals were used to longlist interventions. In phase 2, iterative thematic analysis consolidated comparable interventions into a shortlist. In phase 3, the shortlist was co-prioritized based on patient and clinician views on acceptability, feasibility, and safety. In phase 4, ranked lists of interventions were presented by their relevance to high-income countries and low–middle-income countries. Results In phase 1, 43 interventions were identified, which had low uptake in practice according to 3042 professionals globally. In phase 2, a shortlist of 15 intervention domains was generated. In phase 3, interventions were deemed acceptable for more than 90 per cent of patients except for reducing general anaesthesia (84 per cent) and re-sterilization of ‘single-use’ consumables (86 per cent). In phase 4, the top three shortlisted interventions for high-income countries were: introducing recycling; reducing use of anaesthetic gases; and appropriate clinical waste processing. In phase 4, the top three shortlisted interventions for low–middle-income countries were: introducing reusable surgical devices; reducing use of consumables; and reducing the use of general anaesthesia. Conclusion This is a step toward environmentally sustainable operating environments with actionable interventions applicable to both high– and low–middle–income countries

Tissue Specific Modulation of cyp2c and cyp3a mRNA Levels and Activities by Diet-Induced Obesity in Mice: The Impact of Type 2 Diabetes on Drug Metabolizing Enzymes in Liver and Extra-Hepatic Tissues

Various diseases such as type 2 diabetes (T2D) may alter drug clearance. The objective of this study was to evaluate the effects of T2D on CYP450 expressions and activities using high-fat diet (HFD) as a model of obesity-dependent diabetes in C57BL6 mice. The cyp450 mRNA expression levels for 15 different isoforms were determined in the liver and extra-hepatic tissues (kidneys, lungs and heart) of HFD-treated animals (n = 45). Modulation of cyp450 metabolic activities by HFD was assessed using eight known substrates for specific human ortholog CYP450 isoforms: in vitro incubations were conducted with liver and extra-hepatic microsomes. Expression levels of cyp3a11 and cyp3a25 mRNA were decreased in the liver (>2–14-fold) and kidneys (>2-fold) of HFD groups which correlated with a significant reduction in midazolam metabolism (by 21- and 5-fold in hepatic and kidney microsomes, respectively, p < 0.001). HFD was associated with decreased activities of cyp2b and cyp2c subfamilies in all organs tested except in the kidneys (for tolbutamide). Other cyp450 hepatic activities were minimally or not affected by HFD. Taken together, our data suggest that substrate-dependent and tissue-dependent modulation of cyp450 metabolic capacities by early phases of T2D are observed, which could modulate drug disposition and pharmacological effects in various tissues

Reporting preclinical anesthesia study (REPEAT): Evaluating the quality of reporting in the preclinical anesthesiology literature.

Poor reporting quality may contribute to irreproducibility of results and failed 'bench-to-bedside' translation. Consequently, guidelines have been developed to improve the complete and transparent reporting of in vivo preclinical studies. To examine the impact of such guidelines on core methodological and analytical reporting items in the preclinical anesthesiology literature, we sampled a cohort of studies. Preclinical in vivo studies published in Anesthesiology, Anesthesia & Analgesia, Anaesthesia, and the British Journal of Anaesthesia (2008-2009, 2014-2016) were identified. Data was extracted independently and in duplicate. Reporting completeness was assessed using the National Institutes of Health Principles and Guidelines for Reporting Preclinical Research. Risk ratios were used for comparative analyses. Of 7615 screened articles, 604 met our inclusion criteria and included experiments reporting on 52 490 animals. The most common topic of investigation was pain and analgesia (30%), rodents were most frequently used (77%), and studies were most commonly conducted in the United States (36%). Use of preclinical reporting guidelines was listed in 10% of applicable articles. A minority of studies fully reported on replicates (0.3%), randomization (10%), blinding (12%), sample-size estimation (3%), and inclusion/exclusion criteria (5%). Statistics were well reported (81%). Comparative analysis demonstrated few differences in reporting rigor between journals, including those that endorsed reporting guidelines. Principal items of study design were infrequently reported, with few differences between journals. Methods to improve implementation and adherence to community-based reporting guidelines may be necessary to increase transparent and consistent reporting in the preclinical anesthesiology literature

Surgeons' perspectives on artificial intelligence to support clinical decision-making in trauma and emergency contexts: results from an international survey

Background: Artificial intelligence (AI) is gaining traction in medicine and surgery. AI-based applications can offer tools to examine high-volume data to inform predictive analytics that supports complex decision-making processes. Time-sensitive trauma and emergency contexts are often challenging. The study aims to investigate trauma and emergency surgeons' knowledge and perception of using AI-based tools in clinical decision-making processes. Methods: An online survey grounded on literature regarding AI-enabled surgical decision-making aids was created by a multidisciplinary committee and endorsed by the World Society of Emergency Surgery (WSES). The survey was advertised to 917 WSES members through the society's website and Twitter profile. Results: 650 surgeons from 71 countries in five continents participated in the survey. Results depict the presence of technology enthusiasts and skeptics and surgeons' preference toward more classical decision-making aids like clinical guidelines, traditional training, and the support of their multidisciplinary colleagues. A lack of knowledge about several AI-related aspects emerges and is associated with mistrust. Discussion: The trauma and emergency surgical community is divided into those who firmly believe in the potential of AI and those who do not understand or trust AI-enabled surgical decision-making aids. Academic societies and surgical training programs should promote a foundational, working knowledge of clinical AI
