Effect of Arginine Vasopressin on Intraoperative Hypotension Caused by Oral Administration of 5-Aminolevulinic Acid.

ABSTRACT: 5-Aminolevulinic acid (5-ALA) is used for the photodynamic diagnosis of malignant tumors and has been effectively utilized to improve the complete resection rate and reduce the risk of tumor recurrence. However, intraoperative hypotension is a common adverse effect of oral 5-ALA, and it occasionally progresses to severe prolonged hypotension requiring high-dose catecholamine administration. We report a case of intraoperative hypotension due to oral 5-ALA in which arginine vasopressin (AVP) administration was effective for increasing the blood pressure. A 77-year-old man scheduled for a craniotomy for glioma was administered 5-ALA orally before surgery. After the induction of anesthesia, his blood pressure decreased substantially. Although we administered various vasopressor agents, hypotension was prolonged. However, after starting a continuous administration of AVP, the systolic blood pressure increased, and the hemodynamic parameters remained stable during the remainder of the operation. 5-ALA administration may lower blood pressure by inducing nitric oxide production, and AVP inhibits inducible nitric oxide synthase messenger RNA expression and interleukin-1β-stimulated nitric oxide production. In light of these mechanisms, AVP may be a reasonable treatment agent for hypotension induced by 5-ALA.

Project description:ObjectiveGlioblastoma (GBM) is the most common and aggressive malignant primary brain tumor, and resection is a key part of the standard of care. In fluorescence-guided surgery (FGS), fluorophores differentiate tumor tissue from surrounding normal brain. The heme synthesis pathway converts 5-aminolevulinic acid (5-ALA), a fluorogenic substrate used for FGS, to fluorescent protoporphyrin IX (PpIX). The resulting fluorescence is believed to be specific to neoplastic glioma cells, but this specificity has not been examined at a single-cell level. The objective of this study was to determine the specificity with which 5-ALA labels the diversity of cell types in GBM.MethodsThe authors performed single-cell optical phenotyping and expression sequencing-version 2 (SCOPE-seq2), a paired single-cell imaging and RNA sequencing method, of individual cells on human GBM surgical specimens with macroscopically visible PpIX fluorescence from patients who received 5-ALA prior to surgery. SCOPE-seq2 allowed the authors to simultaneously image PpIX fluorescence and unambiguously identify neoplastic cells from single-cell RNA sequencing. Experiments were also conducted in cell culture and co-culture models of glioma and in acute slice cultures from a mouse glioma model to investigate cell- and tissue-specific uptake and secretion of 5-ALA and PpIX.ResultsSCOPE-seq2 analysis of human GBM surgical specimens revealed that 5-ALA treatment resulted in labeling that was not specific to neoplastic glioma cells. The cell culture further demonstrated that nonneoplastic cells could be labeled by 5-ALA directly or by PpIX secreted from surrounding neoplastic cells. Acute slice cultures from mouse glioma models showed that 5-ALA preferentially labeled GBM tumor tissue over nonneoplastic brain tissue with significant labeling in the tumor margins, and that this contrast was not due to blood-brain barrier disruption.ConclusionsTogether, these findings support the use of 5-ALA as an indicator of GBM tissue but question the main advantage of 5-ALA for specific intracellular labeling of neoplastic glioma cells in FGS. Further studies are needed to systematically compare the performance of 5-ALA to that of potential alternatives for FGS.
