Abstract
BACKGROUND Inhibitors of the Na+-coupled glucose transporter SGLT2 (SGLT2i) primarily shift the reabsorption of large amounts of glucose from the kidney's early proximal tubule to downstream tubular segments expressing SGLT1, and the non-reabsorbed glucose is spilled into the urine together with some osmotic diuresis. How can this protect the kidneys and heart from failing as observed in individuals with and without type 2 diabetes? GOAL Mediation analyses identified clinical phenotypes of SGLT2i associated with improved kidney and heart outcome, including a reduction of plasma volume or increase in hematocrit, and lowering of serum urate levels and albuminuria. This review outlines how primary effects of SGLT2i on the early proximal tubule can explain these phenotypes. RESULTS The physiology of tubule-glomerular communication provides the basis for acute lowering of GFR and glomerular capillary pressure, which contributes to lowering of albuminuria but also to long term preservation of GFR, at least in part by reducing kidney cortex oxygen demand. Functional co-regulation of SGLT2 with other sodium and metabolite transporters in the early proximal tubule explains why SGLT2i initially excrete more sodium than expected and are uricosuric, thereby reducing plasma volume and serum urate. Inhibition of SGLT2 reduces early proximal tubule gluco-toxicity and by shifting transport downstream may simulate "systemic hypoxia", and the resulting increase in erythropoiesis, together with the osmotic diuresis, enhances hematocrit and improves blood oxygen delivery. Cardio-renal protection by SGLT2i is also provided by a fasting-like and insulin-sparing metabolic phenotype and, potentially, by off-target effects on the heart and microbiotic formation of uremic toxins.

Abstract
Diabetic encephalopathy (DE), a significant micro-complication of diabetes, manifests as neurochemical, structural, behavioral, and cognitive alterations. This condition is especially dangerous for the elderly because aging raises the risk of neurodegenerative disorders and cognitive impairment, both of which can be made worse by diabetes. Despite its severity, diagnosis of this disease is challenging, and there is a paucity of information on its pathogenesis. The pivotal roles of various cellular pathways, activated or influenced by hyperglycemia, insulin sensitivity, amyloid accumulation, tau hyperphosphorylation, brain vasculopathy, neuroinflammation, and oxidative stress, are widely recognized for contributing to the potential causes of diabetic encephalopathy. We also reviewed current pharmacological strategies for DE encompassing a comprehensive approach targeting metabolic dysregulations and neurological manifestations. Antioxidant-based therapies hold promise in mitigating oxidative stress-induced neuronal damage, while anti-diabetic drugs offer neuroprotective effects through diverse mechanisms, including modulation of insulin signaling pathways and neuroinflammation. Additionally, tissue engineering and nanomedicine-based approaches present innovative strategies for targeted drug delivery and regenerative therapies for DE. Despite significant progress, challenges remain in translating these therapeutic interventions into clinical practice, including long-term safety, scalability, and regulatory approval. Further research is warranted to optimize these approaches and address remaining gaps in the management of DE and associated neurodegenerative disorders.

Effects of Sodium-Glucose Cotransporter 2 Inhibitors in Diabetic and Non-Diabetic Patients with Advanced Chronic Kidney Disease in Peritoneal Dialysis on Residual Kidney Function: In Real-World Data. MEDICINA (KAUNAS, LITHUANIA) 2024; 60:1198. [PMID: 39202480 PMCID: PMC11356563 DOI: 10.3390/medicina60081198] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/01/2024] [Revised: 07/20/2024] [Accepted: 07/22/2024] [Indexed: 09/03/2024]
Abstract
Background and Objectives: Peritoneal dialysis (PD) is a renal replacement therapy modality in which the dialysis dose can be individually adapted according to the patients' residual kidney function (RKF). RKF is a crucial factor for technique and patient survival. Pharmacological strategies aimed at slowing the loss of RKF in patients on PD are limited. Therefore, we aimed to assess the potential effects and safety of sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 (SGLT-2) inhibitors on the preservation of RKF in patients with and without type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) on PD during an average follow-up of 6 months. Materials and Methods: In this retrospective observational, single-center study on real-world data, we included patients from the Peritoneal Dialysis Unit of the Hospital General Universitario de Ciudad Real, who started treatment with SGLT-2 inhibitors during the period from December 2022 to December 2023. Data on analytical and clinical parameters, RKF, and peritoneal membrane transport function were retrospectively collected at months 0, 3, and 6. Results: Out of 31 patients in our unit, 16 prevalent patients initiated treatment with SGLT-2 inhibitors (13 empagliflozin and 3 dapagliflozin). A total of 62.5% were male and the mean age was 67.3 years. The baseline peritoneal ultrafiltration was higher in the non-diabetic patient (NDMP) group than in the diabetic patient (DMP) group. However, the residual diuresis volume, 24 h residual renal clearance rate of urea in urine, and 24 h proteinuria were higher in the DMP group than in the NDMP group. At the sixth month, patients in both groups preserved RKF and diuresis, with a trend towards a non-significant reduction in proteinuria and blood pressure. Only two patients of the DMP group presented adverse effects. Conclusions: The use of SGLT-2 inhibitors in our sample of patients with and without T2DM on PD appears to be safe and effective to preserve RKF.

Effectiveness and safety of empagliflozin: final results from the EMPRISE study. Diabetologia 2024; 67:1328-1342. [PMID: 38509341 DOI: 10.1007/s00125-024-06126-3] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/18/2023] [Accepted: 02/05/2024] [Indexed: 03/22/2024]
Abstract
AIMS/HYPOTHESIS Limited evidence exists on the comparative safety and effectiveness of empagliflozin against alternative glucose-lowering medications in individuals with type 2 diabetes with the broad spectrum of cardiovascular risk. The EMPagliflozin compaRative effectIveness and SafEty (EMPRISE) cohort study was designed to monitor the safety and effectiveness of empagliflozin periodically for a period of 5 years with data collection from electronic healthcare databases. METHODS We identified individuals ≥18 years old with type 2 diabetes who initiated empagliflozin or dipeptidyl peptidase-4 inhibitors (DPP-4i) from 2014 to 2019 using US Medicare and commercial claims databases. After 1:1 propensity score matching using 143 baseline characteristics, we identified four a priori-defined effectiveness outcomes: (1) myocardial infarction (MI) or stroke; (2) hospitalisation for heart failure (HHF); (3) major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE); and (4) cardiovascular mortality or HHF. Safety outcomes included lower-limb amputations, non-vertebral fractures, diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA), acute kidney injury (AKI), severe hypoglycaemia, retinopathy progression, and short-term kidney and bladder cancers. We estimated HRs and rate differences (RDs) per 1000 person-years, overall and stratified by age, sex, baseline atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD) and heart failure. RESULTS We identified 115,116 matched pairs. Compared with DPP-4i, empagliflozin was associated with lower risks of MI/stroke (HR 0.88 [95% CI 0.81, 0.96]; RD -2.08 [95% CI (-3.26, -0.90]), HHF (HR 0.50 [0.44, 0.56]; RD -5.35 [-6.22, -4.49]), MACE (HR 0.73 [0.62, 0.86]; RD -6.37 [-8.98, -3.77]) and cardiovascular mortality/HHF (HR 0.57 [0.47, 0.69]; RD -10.36 [-12.63, -8.12]). Absolute benefits were larger in older individuals and in those with ASCVD/heart failure. Empagliflozin was associated with an increased risk of DKA (HR 1.78 [1.44, 2.19]; RD 1.59 [1.08, 2.09]); decreased risks of AKI (HR 0.62 [0.54, 0.72]; RD -2.39 [-3.08, -1.71]), hypoglycaemia (HR 0.75 [0.67, 0.84]; RD -2.46 [-3.32, -1.60]) and retinopathy progression (HR 0.78 [0.63, 0.96)]; RD -9.49 [-16.97, -2.10]); and similar risks of other safety events. CONCLUSIONS/INTERPRETATION Empagliflozin relative to DPP-4i was associated with risk reductions of MI or stroke, HHF, MACE and the composite of cardiovascular mortality or HHF. Absolute risk reductions were larger in older individuals and in those who had history of ASCVD or heart failure. Regarding the safety outcomes, empagliflozin was associated with an increased risk of DKA and lower risks of AKI, hypoglycaemia and progression to proliferative retinopathy, with no difference in the short-term risks of lower-extremity amputation, non-vertebral fractures, kidney and renal pelvis cancer, and bladder cancer.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Sodium glucose cotransporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitors are widely used in type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) therapy. The impact of SGLT2 inhibitors on bone metabolism has been widely taken into consideration. But there are controversial results in the study on the effect of SGLT2 inhibitors on bone metabolism in patients with T2DM. Therefore, we aimed to examine whether and to what extent SGLT2 inhibitors affect bone metabolism in patients with T2DM. METHODS A literature search of randomized controlled trials (RCTs) was conducted through PubMed, Web of Science, Embase, Cochrane databases, and Scopus from inception until 15 April 2023. Eligible RCTs compared the effects of SGLT2 inhibitors versus placebo on bone mineral density and bone metabolism in patients with T2DM. To evaluate the differences between groups, a meta-analysis was conducted using the random effects inverse-variance model by utilizing standardized mean differences (SMD). RESULTS Through screening, 25 articles were finally included, covering 22,828 patients. The results showed that, compared with placebo, SGLT2 inhibitors significantly increased parathyroid hormone (PTH, SMD = 0.13; 95%CI: 0.06, 0.20), and cross-linked C-terminal telopeptides of type I collagen (CTX, SMD = 0.11; 95%CI: 0.01, 0.21) in patients with T2DM, decreased serum alkaline phosphatase levels (ALP, SMD = -0.06; 95%CI: -0.10, -0.03), and had no significant effect on bone mineral density (BMD), procollagen type 1 N-terminal propeptide (P1NP), 25-hydroxy vitamin D, tartrate resistant acid phosphatase-5b (TRACP-5b) and osteocalcin. CONCLUSIONS SGLT2 inhibitors may negatively affect bone metabolism by increasing serum PTH, CTX, and decreasing serum ALP. This conclusion needs to be verified by more studies due to the limited number and quality of included studies. SYSTEMATIC REVIEW REGISTRATION PROSPERO, identifier CRD42023410701.

Abstract
Osteocalcin (OC) is the most abundant non-collagenous and osteoblast-secreted protein in bone. It consists of two forms such as carboxylated OC (cOC) and undercarboxylated OC (ucOC). While cOC promotes bone mineralization and increases bone strength, ucOC is regarded an endocrinologically active form that may have several functions in multiple end organs and tissues. Total OC (tOC) includes both of these forms (cOC and ucOC) and is considered a marker of bone turnover in clinical settings. Most of the data on OC is limited to preclinical studies and therefore may not accurately reflect the situation in clinical conditions. For the stated reason, the aim of this review was not only to summarize current knowledge of all forms of OC and characterize its role in diabetes mellitus, osteoporosis, osteopetrosis, inflammatory joint diseases, but also to provide new interpretations of its involvement in the management and treatment of aforementioned diseases. In this context, special emphasis was placed on available clinical trials. Significantly lower levels of tOC and ucOC could be associated with the risk of type 2 diabetes mellitus. On the contrary, tOC level does not seem to be a good indicator of high bone turnover status in postmenopausal osteoporosis, osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis. The associations between several pharmacological drugs used to treat all disorders mentioned above and OC levels have also been provided. From this perspective, OC may serve as a medium through which certain medications can influence glucose metabolism, body weight, adiponectin secretion, and synovial inflammation.

Abstract
Originally designed as anti-hyperglycemic drugs, Glucagon-Like Peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1Ra) and Sodium-glucose cotransporter-2 inhibitors (SGLT2i) have demonstrated protective cardiovascular effects, with significant impact on cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. Despite several mechanisms have been proposed, the exact pathophysiology behind these effects is not yet fully understood. Cardiovascular imaging is key for the evaluation of diabetic patients, with an established role from the identification of early subclinical changes to long-term follow up and prognostic assessment. Among the different imaging modalities, CMR may have a key-role being the gold standard for volumes and function assessment and having the unique ability to provide tissue characterization. Novel techniques are also implementing the possibility to evaluate cardiac metabolism through CMR and thereby further increasing the potential role of the modality in this context. Aim of this paper is to provide a comprehensive review of changes in CMR parameters and novel CMR techniques applied in both pre-clinical and clinical studies evaluating the effects of SGLT2i and GLP-1Ra, and their potential role in better understanding the underlying CV mechanisms of these drugs.

Vitamin D Deficiency Increases Vulnerability to Canagliflozin-induced Adverse Effects on 1,25-Dihydroxyvitamin D and PTH. J Clin Endocrinol Metab 2024; 109:e646-e656. [PMID: 37738423 PMCID: PMC10795897 DOI: 10.1210/clinem/dgad554] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/11/2023] [Revised: 08/29/2023] [Accepted: 09/14/2023] [Indexed: 09/24/2023]
Abstract
CONTEXT Canagliflozin has been reported to increase the risk of bone fracture-possibly mediated by decreasing 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D (1,25(OH)2D) and increasing parathyroid hormone (PTH). OBJECTIVE This work investigated whether baseline vitamin D (VitD) deficiency renders individuals vulnerable to this adverse effect and whether VitD3 supplementation is protective. METHODS This community-based, outpatient study had a paired design comparing individual participants before and after VitD3 supplementation. Eleven VitD-deficient (25-hydroxyvitamin D [25(OH)D] ≤ 20 ng/mL) individuals were recruited from the Amish population in Lancaster, Pennsylvania. Participants underwent 2 canagliflozin challenge protocols (300 mg daily for 5 days): the first before and the second after VitD3 supplementation. In the VitD3 supplementation protocol, participants received VitD3 supplementation (50 000 IU once or twice a week depending on body mass index for 4-6 weeks) to achieve 25(OH)D of 30 ng/mL or greater. Two coprimary end points were identified: effects of VitD3 supplementation on canagliflozin-induced changes in 1,25(OH)2D and PTH. Secondary end points included effects of VitD3 supplementation on baseline levels of VitD metabolites and PTH. RESULTS VitD3 supplementation increased mean 25(OH)D from 16.5 ± 1.6 to 44.3 ± 5.5 ng/mL (P = .0006) and 24,25-dihydroxyvitamin D (24,25(OH)2D) from 1.0 ± 0.1 to 4.3 ± 0.6 ng/mL (P = .0002). Mean 1,25(OH)2D and PTH were unchanged. VitD3 supplementation decreased the magnitude of canagliflozin-induced changes in 1,25(OH)2D (from -31.3%±4.7% to -9.3%±8.3%; P = .04) and PTH (from +36.2%±6.2% to +9.7%±3.7%; P = .005). CONCLUSION VitD deficiency rendered individuals more vulnerable to adverse effects of canagliflozin on biomarkers associated with bone health. VitD3 supplementation was protective against canagliflozin's short-term adverse effects on 1,25(OH)2D and PTH.

Wang X, Zhang F, Zhang Y, Zhang J, Sheng Y, Wang W, Li Y. Effect of SGLT2 inhibitors on fractures, BMD, and bone metabolism markers in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus: a systematic review and meta-analysis. Osteoporos Int 2023; 34:2013-2025. [PMID: 37695339 DOI: 10.1007/s00198-023-06908-2] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/14/2023] [Accepted: 09/01/2023] [Indexed: 09/12/2023]
Abstract
This meta-analysis aims to evaluate the impact of Sodium Glucose Transporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitors on fractures, bone mineral density (BMD), and bone metabolism markers in type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) patients. Pooled relative risk (RR) with 95% confidence interval (CI) assessed the relationship between SGLT2 inhibitors and fracture risk. Weighted mean difference (WMD) with 95% CI explored the correlation between SGLT2 inhibitors and BMD, as well as bone metabolism markers. A total of 20 randomised controlled trials (RCTs) involving 12,764 patients were analysed. No significant association emerged between SGLT2 inhibitor use and elevated fracture risk (pooled RR = 1.21, 95% CI [0.95, 1.54], I2 = 22%). Furthermore, SGLT2 inhibitors exhibited no substantial effects on BMD changes at the lumbar spine (WMD = -0.02, 95% CI [-0.38, 0.34]), femoral neck (WMD = 0.11, 95% CI [-0.28, 0.50]), total hip (WMD = -0.20, 95% CI [-0.41, 0.01]), and distal forearm (WMD = -0.20, 95% CI [-0.62, 0.22]). Similarly, no notable impact of SGLT2 inhibitors on bone metabolism markers, including CTX (WMD = 0.04, 95% CI [-0.02, 0.09]), P1NP (WMD = 1.06, 95% CI [-0.44, 2.57]), PTH (WMD = 0.34, 95% CI [-0.07, 0.75]), calcium (WMD = 0.01, 95% CI [-0.02, 0.04]), and phosphate (WMD = 2.37, 95% CI [-0.76, 5.49]). The findings suggest that the utilization of SGLT2 inhibitors is not significantly linked to an elevated risk of fractures in individuals with T2DM. However, further clinical investigations and extended follow-up periods are warranted to establish more conclusive determinations.

Abstract
Context. Canagliflozin has been reported to increase the risk of bone fracture - possibly mediated by decreasing 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D [1,25(OH) 2 D] and increasing PTH. Objective. To investigate whether baseline vitamin D (VitD) deficiency renders individuals vulnerable to this adverse effect and whether VitD3 supplementation is protective. Design. This study had a paired design comparing individual participants before and after VitD3 supplementation. Setting. Community-based outpatient. Patients. 11 VitD deficient (25-hydroxyvitamin D [25(OH)D] ≤ 20 ng/mL) individuals recruited from the Amish population in Lancaster PA. Interventions. Participants underwent two canagliflozin challenge protocols (300 mg daily for five days): the first before and the second after VitD3 supplementation. In the VitD3 supplementation protocol, participants received VitD3 supplementation (50,000 IU once or twice a week depending on BMI for 4-6 weeks) to achieve 25(OH)D ≥ 30 ng/mL. Main Outcome Measures. Two co-primary endpoints were identified: effects of VitD3 supplementation on canagliflozin-induced changes in 1,25(OH) 2 D and PTH. Secondary endpoints included effects of VitD3 supplementation on baseline levels of VitD metabolites and PTH. Results. VitD3 supplementation increased mean 25(OH)D from 16.5±1.6 to 44.3±5.5 ng/mL (p=0.0006) and 24,25-dihydroxyvitamin D [24,25(OH) 2 D] from 1.0±0.1 to 4.3±0.6 ng/mL (p=0.0002). Mean 1,25(OH) 2 D and PTH were unchanged. VitD3 supplementation decreased the magnitude of canagliflozin-induced changes in 1,25(OH) 2 D (from -31.3%±4.7% to -9.3%±8.3%; p=0.04) and PTH (from +36.2%±6.2% to +9.7%±3.7%; p=0.005). Conclusions. VitD deficiency rendered individuals more vulnerable to adverse effects of canagliflozin on biomarkers associated with bone health. VitD3 supplementation was protective against canagliflozin's short-term adverse effects on 1,25(OH) 2 D and PTH.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW Sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitors (SGLT2i) represent a relatively new class of oral glucose-lowering agents that reduce adverse cardiovascular and kidney outcomes among individuals with chronic kidney disease (CKD). Emerging evidence suggests that SGLT2i may also affect bone and mineral metabolism. This review analyzes recent evidence on the safety of SGLT2i with respect to bone and mineral metabolism in people with CKD, and discusses potential underlying mechanisms and clinical implications. RECENT FINDINGS Recent studies have documented the beneficial effects of SGLT2i on cardiovascular and renal outcomes among individuals with CKD. SGLT2i may alter renal tubular phosphate reabsorption and are associated with increased serum concentrations of phosphate, fibroblast growth factor-23 (FGF-23), parathyroid hormone (PTH), decreased 1,25-hydroxyvitamin D levels, as well as increased bone turnover. Clinical trials have not demonstrated an increased risk of bone fracture associated with SGLT2i use among patients with CKD with or without diabetes mellitus. SUMMARY Although SGLT2i are associated with abnormalities of bone and mineral metabolism, they have not been linked to a higher risk of fracture among patients with CKD. More research is needed on the association between SGLT2i and fracture risk in this population.

Abstract
The association between vitamin D deficiency and especially critical shortage of active vitamin D (1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D, calcitriol) with the development of secondary hyperparathyroidism (sHPT) is a well-known fact in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD). The association between sHPT and important clinical outcomes, such as kidney disease progression, fractures, cardiovascular events, and mortality, has turned the prevention and the control of HPT into a core issue of patients with CKD and on dialysis. However, vitamin D therapy entails the risk of unwanted side effects, such as hypercalcemia and hyperphosphatemia. This review summarizes the developments of vitamin D therapies in CKD patients of the last decades, from calcitriol substitution to extended-release calcifediol. In view of the study situation for vitamin D insufficiency and sHPT in CKD patients, we conclude that the nephrology community has to solve three core issues: (1) What is the optimal parathyroid hormone (PTH) target level for CKD and dialysis patients? (2) What is the optimal vitamin D level to support optimal PTH titration? (3) How can sHPT treatment support reduction in the occurrence of hard renal and cardiovascular events in CKD and dialysis patients?

Abstract
Diabetic kidney disease (DKD) causes the greatest proportion of end-stage renal disease (ESRD)-related mortality and has become a high concern in patients with diabetes mellitus (DM). Bone is considered an endocrine organ, playing an emerging role in regulating glucose and energy metabolism. Accumulating research has proven that bone-derived hormones are involved in glucose metabolism and the pathogenesis of DM complications, especially DKD. Furthermore, these hormones are considered to be promising predictors and prospective treatment targets for DM and DKD. In this review, we focused on bone-derived hormones, including fibroblast growth factor 23, osteocalcin, sclerostin, and lipocalin 2, and summarized their role in regulating glucose metabolism and DKD.
