Resumen
Background Severe cases of Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) that require admission to the Intensive Care Unit (ICU) and mechanical ventilation assistance show a high mortality rate with currently few therapeutic options available. Severe COVID-19 is characterized by a systemic inflammatory condition, also called “cytokine storm”, which can lead to various multi-organ complications and ultimately death. Lidocaine, a safe local anesthetic that given intravenously is used to treat arrhythmias, has long been reported to have an anti-inflammatory and pro-homeostatic activity. Methods We studied the capacity of lidocaine to modulate cytokine secretion of mouse and human myeloid cell lines activated by different cytokines or Toll Like Receptor (TLR) ligands (flagellin (FliC), Lipopolysaccharide (LPS), Polyinosinic:polycytidylic acid (Poly I:C) and N-Palmitoyl-S- [2,3-bis(palmitoyloxy)-(2RS)-propyl]-(R)-cysteinyl-(S)-seryl-(S)-lysyl-(S)-lysyl-(S)-lysyl-(S)-lysine x 3HCl (Pam3Cys-SKKKK)) or by Severe acute respiratory syndromecoronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection to epithelial cells. Reporter cell lines were used to study modulation of lidocaine of specific signaling pathways. Results Lidocaine used in combination with dexamethasone, had an additive effect in the modulation of cellular inflammatory response triggered by Tumoral Necrosis Factor alpha (TNFα), Interleukin 1 beta (IL-1β) as well as different TLR ligands. We also found that lidocaine in combination with dexamethasone modulates the Nuclear factor kappa B (NF-κB) pathway, inflammasome activation as well as interferon gamma receptor (IFNγR) signaling without affecting the type I interferons (Type I IFNs) pathway. Furthermore, we showed that lidocaine and dexamethasone treatment of epithelial cells infected with SARS-CoV-2 modulated the expression of chemokines that contribute to pro-inflammatory effects in severe COVID. Conclusions We reported for the first time in vitro anti-inflammatory capacity of lidocaine on SARS-CoV-2 triggered immune pathways. These results indicated the potential of lidocaine to treat COVID-19 patients and add tools to the therapeutic options available for these concerning cases.
