Abstract
This study aimed to explore the regulatory effect of remifentanil-mediated mitochondrial autophagy on osteoclast formation and further investigate its mechanism. Macrophage cell line RAW264.7 was taken and induced to differentiate into mature osteoclasts using nuclear factor kB receptor activating factor ligand (RANKL). The cell model was treated with different concentrations of remifentanil or down-regulated expression of mitochondrial autophagy-related gene PINK1. The survival, death and ROS production of osteoclasts were detected by CCK8 kit and flow cytometry, MMP level was detected by JC-1 method, mitochondrial morphology and autophagy were observed by transmission electron microscopy, and mitochondrial autophagy-related protein expression was detected by Western blot. The number of osteoclasts in the remifentanil-treated group was significantly reduced compared to the control group, accompanied by a reduction in reactive oxygen species (ROS) and mitochondrial membrane potential levels (MMP). Further results showed that remifentanil could significantly up-regulate the activity of PINK1/Parkin pathway, promote the occurrence of mitochondrial autophagy, and damaged mitochondria, and inhibit the formation of osteoclasts. Remifentanil successfully inhibited osteoclast formation by regulating mitochondrial autophagy mediated by PINK1/Parkin pathway. The results of this study revealed that remifentanil plays an important role in the physiology and pathology of osteoclasts, which may provide new ideas and strategies for the clinical treatment of remifentanil in tibial fractures.
