Alleviating role of ketamine in breast cancer cell-induced osteoclastogenesis and tumor bone metastasis-induced bone cancer pain through an SRC/EGR1/CST6 axis.

BMC cancer December 18, 2024 Xiaomin Zhang, Yanmei Zhang, Wei Du 5 citations

The analgesic effect of ketamine in cancer pain remains controversial. This research investigates the role of ketamine in bone metastasis-induced cancer pain in breast cancer (BC) and its associated molecular network. BC cell lines MDA-MB-231 and ZR-75-1 were treated with ketamine and malignant behaviors were assessed through CCK-8, colony formation, and Transwell assays. To evaluate the...

Antagonistic interaction between caffeine and ketamine in zebrafish: Implications for aquatic toxicity.

Environmental science and ecotechnology September 1, 2024 Zhenglu Wang, Jindong Xu, Wei Du 6 citations

The coexistence of caffeine (CF) and ketamine (KET) in surface waters across Asia has been widely reported. Previous studies have implied that CF and KET may share a mechanism of action. However, the combined toxicity of these two chemicals on aquatic organisms remains unclear at environmental levels, and the underlying mechanisms are not well understood. Here we demonstrate that KET...

Hopelessness, Suicidality, and Co-Occurring Substance Use among Adolescent Hallucinogen Users—A National Survey Study

Children December 22, 2022 Saral Desai, Vidisha Jain, Sona Xavier et al.

(1) Objectives: Hallucinogens are being explored as a potential treatment of psychiatric disorders. Micro dosing of illicitly purchased hallucinogen drugs is on the rise despite conclusive benefits. We aimed to evaluate the prevalence and odds of hopelessness, suicidality, and co-occurring substance use among adolescent hallucinogen users. (2) Methods: We performed a retrospective analysis of...
