- Abstract
Background/Aims: Although adhesion formation is a frequent adverse event following intraperitoneal surgery, efficient prophylactic interventions have not yet been established. We recently reported that blockade of interleukin (IL)-6 prevented postoperative adhesion after cecum cauterization. Intriguingly, this intervention dampened tumor necrosis factor (TNF) induction in the injured serosa. Herein, we addressed whether TNF might be a key target and, if so, how TNF blockade rescued adhesion formation. Methods: Mice were administered an anti-TNF biologic (etanercept) on days -2 and -1 before and upon cecal cauterization. The adhesion scores were evaluated at day 7 postoperatively. Histological alterations were examined by immunochemistry/immunofluorescence studies. We incubated human neutrophils and mesothelial cell line cells with recombinant TNF in the presence of etanercept and measured transcript levels of cytokines and chemokines by quantitative reverse transcription- polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR). Results: Etanercept rescued mice from adhesion formation, accompanied by a robust reduction of neutrophilia in the injured serosa. Immunofluorescence revealed a substantial formation of neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs) with the potential to induce tissue damage and profibrotic responses. In contrast, the etanercepttreated mice lacked NET formation. In addition, etanercept inhibited TNF-induced IL-6, TNF, and neutrophil-recruiting chemokines in neutrophils and mesothelial cells, a major cellular source of myofibroblasts in the adhesion band. Conclusion: Prophylactic administration of etanercept might be a potential strategy for preventing postoperative adhesion formation.
