Abstract
BACKGROUND Aspirin is widely used for preventing ischaemic events. About 20%-40% of patients have aspirin resistance (ASR), which prevents them from benefiting from aspirin medication. This study aimed to develop and validate a model based on single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) to distinguish ASR patients. METHODS We included patients with spontaneous intracerebral haemorrhage and continuing antiplatelet therapy from a multicentre, prospective cohort study as the derivation cohort. Thromboelastography (inhibition of arachidonic acid channel<50%) was used to identify ASR. Genotyping was performed to identify the ASR-related SNP. Based on the result of the logistic analysis, the aspirin resistance in the Chinese population score (ASR-CN score) was established, and its accuracy was evaluated using the area under the curve (AUC). Patients receiving dual antiplatelet therapy for unruptured intracranial aneurysm embolism were prospectively included in the validation cohort. After embolism, 30-day ischaemic events, including ischaemic stroke, new or more frequent transient ischaemic attack, stent thrombosis and cerebrovascular death, were recorded. RESULTS The derivation cohort included 212 patients (155 male patients and the median age as 59). 87 (41.0%) individuals were identified with ASR. The multivariate logistic analysis demonstrated six SNPs of GP1BA, TBXA2R, PTGS2 and NOS3 as risk factors related to ASR. The ASR-CN score integrating these SNPs performed well to discriminate ASR patients from non-ASR patients (AUC as 0.77). Based on the validation cohort of 372 patients receiving antiplatelet therapy after embolism (including 130 ASR patients), the ASR-CN score continued to distinguish ASR patients with good accuracy (AUC as 0.80). Patients with high a ASR-CN score were more likely to suffer from 30-day ischaemic events after embolism (OR, 1.28; 95% CI, 1.10 to 1.50; p=0.002). CONCLUSION GP1BA, TBXA2R, PTGS2 and NOS3 were SNPs related to ASR. The ASR-CN score is an effective tool to discriminate ASR patients, which may guide antiplatelet therapy.

Hou X. Epoxidase inhibitor-aspirin resistance and the relationship with genetic polymorphisms: a review. J Int Med Res 2024; 52:3000605241230429. [PMID: 38420770 PMCID: PMC10903214 DOI: 10.1177/03000605241230429] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/24/2023] [Accepted: 01/18/2024] [Indexed: 03/02/2024] Open
Abstract
Strokes are the leading cause of death in most regions of the world. Epoxidase inhibitors include the drug aspirin (acetylsalicylic acid). Aspirin is widely used as first-line treatment for the prevention of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases in at-risk patients. However, patients using conventional doses of aspirin can still develop ischaemic cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, a phenomenon known as aspirin resistance. The occurrence of aspirin resistance hinders the prevention and treatment of ischaemic cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases. There are many factors affecting aspirin resistance, such as sex, drug dose, metabolic disease, genetic polymorphisms, drug interactions and pharmacokinetics. Genetic polymorphism refers to the simultaneous and frequent presence of two or more discontinuous variants or genotypes or alleles in a population of organisms. Platelets contain a large number of highly polymorphic transmembrane glycoprotein receptors encoded by two or more isomeric alleles. Changes in gene polymorphisms in various pathways during platelet aggregation can lead to aspirin resistance. This narrative review describes the gene polymorphisms that have been demonstrated to be significantly associated with aspirin resistance. Research on the mechanisms of aspirin resistance and increased knowledge should provide accurate drug guidance in individuals that require first-line antiplatelet therapy.

Abstract
There is a high prevalence rate of peripheral artery disease worldwide, with estimated cases exceeding 200 million. Most patients are under-diagnosed and under-treated, and there is a lack of knowledge regarding the best therapeutic regimen and therapy duration, which leads to many cases of recurrence, complications, and amputations. This study aims to explore clinical recurrence, which was defined as the worsening of chronic peripheral artery disease requiring hospital admission, and its relationship with antiplatelet drug resistance among patients with lower limb ischemia. This cohort study includes both retrospective and prospective recruitment of patients with chronic lower limb ischemia. Platelet aggregation tests were offered to the patients. Between February 2018 and November 2020, 147 patients were recruited from King Abdullah University Hospital and followed up for at least 1 year. Platelet aggregation tests were done for 93 patients who agreed to participate in this part of the study. The prevalence of chronic lower limb ischemia was higher in young male patients who are current smokers with co-morbid diseases such as hypertension, diabetes mellitus, and/or dyslipidemia. There was a significant association only of clinical recurrence with younger age (P = .011) and with low platelets count in severe stages of the disease (P = .047). No significant association was found in terms of laboratory resistance. The clinical recurrence rates of chronic lower limb ischemia were higher in younger patients and among those with low platelet counts in the severe stages of the disease. Despite the laboratory responsiveness to anti-platelet therapy, we observed significant clinical resistance and increased recurrence rates.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Zhilong Huoxue Tongyu capsule (ZLHX) is a traditional Chinese medicinal compound preparation, which exhibits obvious therapeutic effects on aspirin resistance (AR). However, the mechanism of ZLHX on AR is rarely reported. OBJECTIVES This study aimed to explore the therapeutic effects of AR and the underlying mechanisms of ZLHX on AR rats. METHODS An AR model was established through treatment with a high-fat, high-sugar, and highsalt diet for 12 weeks and oral administration of aspirin (27 mg/kg/day) and ibuprofen (36 mg/kg/day) in weeks 9-12. The rats were administrated with ZLHX (225, 450, and 900 mg/kg) from week 12 to week 16. Blood samples were collected after the experiment. Thromboelastography analysis was performed, and the levels of triglyceride (TG), total cholesterol (TC), lowdensity lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C), and high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) were determined. Furthermore, the levels of thromboxane B2 (TXB2) and 6-keto-prostaglandin F1α (6- keto-PGF1α) were determined with commercial ELISA kits. Finally, the gene expressions of microRNA- 126-3p (miRNA-126-3p) and miRNA-34b-3p were detected through a real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction. RESULTS Results demonstrated that ZLHX significantly inhibited platelet aggregation in the AR rats. Moreover, ZLHX markedly decreased the levels of TC, TG, and LDL-C and increased the level of HDL-C. Meanwhile, ELISA results confirmed that ZLHX can elevate the expression levels of TXB2 and 6-keto-PGF1α. Further studies suggested that ZLHX significantly downregulated the expression levels of miRNA-126-3p and miRNA-34b-3p. CONCLUSION This study revealed that the therapeutic effect of ZLHX might be related to the regulation of lipid metabolism and the miRNA pathway.

Abstract
PURPOSE Adult Spinal Deformity (ASD) includes a spectrum of spinal conditions that can be associated with significant pain and loss of function. While 3-column osteotomies have been the procedures of choice for ASD patients, there is also a substantial risk for complications. The prognostic value of the modified 5-item frailty index (mFI-5) for these procedures has not yet been studied. The goal of this study is to evaluate the association of mFI-5 with 30-day morbidity, readmission, and reoperation following a 3-column osteotomy. METHODS The National Surgical Quality Improvement Program (NSQIP) database was queried to identify patients undergoing 3-Column Osteotomy procedures from 2011-2019. Multivariate modeling was utilized to assess mFI-5 and other demographic, comorbidity, laboratory, and perioperative variables as independent predictors of morbidity, readmission, and reoperation. RESULTS N = 971. Multivariate analysis revealed that mFI-5 = 1 (OR = 1.62, p = 0.015) and mFI-5 ≥ 2 (OR = 2.17, p = 0.004) were significant independent predictors of morbidity. mFI-5 ≥ 2 was a significant independent predictor of readmission (OR = 2.16, p = 0.022) while mFI-5 = 1 was not a significant predictor of readmission (p = 0.053). Frailty did not predict reoperation. CONCLUSION Frailty as defined by mFI-5 strongly and independently predicted increased odds of postoperative morbidity for patients undergoing 3-column osteotomy as surgical intervention for ASD. Only mFI-5 ≥ 2 was a significant independent predictor of readmission, while frailty did not predict reoperation. Other variables independently predicted increased and decreased odds of postoperative morbidity, readmission, and reoperation. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE III.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Antiplatelet drugs, such as Aspirin and Clopidogrel (Plavix) are effective in the primary prevention of thromboembolic events. They are commonly used to reduce the risk of recurrence of thromboembolism. The body's hemostatic system responds differently to these drugs in different people. Resistance testing for aspirin and Clopidogrel is now recommended before starting antiplatelet therapy. METHODS A systematic literature search was performed on May 12, 2021, using the medical search engines PubMed, Scopus, and Web of Science, and the local databases SID and Magiran. After data extraction, a meta-analysis was performed using Comprehensive Meta-Analysis (CMA2) software. The I2 statistic was used to measure heterogeneity between estimates. RESULTS Among the 949 papers, Clopidogrel resistance was assessed in 136 patients and Aspirin resistance in 400 patients. The prevalence of Aspirin resistance was found to be 52.1% and the prevalence of Clopidogrel resistance was found to be 20.5%. CONCLUSION It seems that in Iran, the issue of Aspirin and Clopidogrel resistance is suboptimally addressed. This pattern could also occur in other developing countries in the Middle East region.

Abstract
Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is a persistent metabolic condition that contributes to the development of cardiovascular diseases. Numerous studies have provided evidence that individuals with T2DM are at a greater risk of developing cardiovascular diseases, typically two to four times more likely than those without T2DM, mainly due to an increased risk of atherosclerosis. The rupture of an atherosclerotic plaque leading to pathological thrombosis is commonly recognized as a significant factor in advancing cardiovascular diseases caused by TD2M, with platelets inducing the impact of plaque rupture in established atherosclerosis and predisposing to the primary expansion of atherosclerosis. Studies suggest that individuals with T2DM have platelets that display higher baseline activation and reactivity than those without the condition. The expression enhancement of several platelet receptors is known to regulate platelet activation signaling, including platelet glycoprotein-Ib (GPIb). Furthermore, the high expression of platelet GP1b has been reported to increase the risk of platelet adhesion, platelet-leucocyte interaction, and thrombo-inflammatory pathology. However, the study exploring the role of GP1b in promoting platelet activation-induced cardiovascular diseases in T2DM patients is still limited. Therefore, we summarize the important findings regarding pathophysiological continuity between T2DM, platelet GPIb, and atherosclerosis and highlight the potential therapy targeting GPIb as a novel antiplatelet agent for preventing further cardiovascular incidents in TD2M patients.

Abstract
Endovascular therapy of ruptured aneurysms is regularly accompanied by periprocedural heparinization and requires the use of periprocedural antiplatelets in more complex cases. This raises concerns regarding increased bleeding risks in the case of frequently required ventriculostomy. The aim of this study was to analyze risk factors for ventriculostomy-related intracranial hemorrhages (VS-ICH) in endovascular or surgical treatment of ruptured aneurysms with a focus on antithrombotic therapy. In this retrospective analysis, we included patients admitted to our institution over a 12-year period who had received at least one ventriculostomy due to subarachnoid hemorrhage-related hydrocephalus. Patients were dichotomized into an endovascular and surgical group and rates of VS-ICH were compared. Risk factors for VS-ICH were assessed in uni- and multivariate analyses. A total of 606 ventriculostomies were performed in 328 patients. Within the endovascular group, antiplatelet therapy was used in 44.8% of cases. The overall rate of ventriculostomy-related intracranial hemorrhage was 13.1%. Endovascular treatment was associated with a higher rate of VS-ICH compared to surgical treatment (p = 0.011), but not in cases without antiplatelet therapy (p = 0.166). Application of any antiplatelet therapy (odds ratio, 2.647 [95% confidence interval, 1.141–6.143]) and number of ventriculostomies (odds ratio, 2.513 [95% confidence interval, 1.859–3.395]) were independent predictors of ventriculostomy-related hemorrhages. Our findings indicate an increased risk of VS-ICH in the endovascular group if administration of antiplatelets was required. While this aspect has to be included into treatment decision-making, it must be weighed against the benefits of endovascular techniques.

Objectives were to (i) develop pregnancy-specific 95% reference intervals for a range of laboratory based platelet function tests (PFTs); (ii) select an optimal and acceptable PFT that reflected aspirin's COX-1 inhibition in women with confirmed aspirin adherence in pregnancy; and (iii) identify genomic variants that may influence pregnant women's platelet response to aspirin.The study included two independent cohorts of pregnant women. A range of PFTs and matched phenotyping with urinary 11-dehydrothromboxane B2 (11DTXB2) and nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy detection of urinary salicyluric acid as a measure of aspirin adherence were performed. Genome-wide data was acquired from the UK Biobank Axiom® (Thermo Fisher Scientific). 11DTXB2 in combination with adherence testing with NMR salicyluric acid was an accurate and acceptable testing strategy for detecting biochemical aspirin responsiveness in pregnant women, with the provision of relevant reference ranges. GWAS meta-analysis found no significant single nucleotide polymorphisms in association with response to aspirin in pregnancy. Further evaluation in relation to effective dosing of aspirin in pregnancy and optimizing the benefits to specific subgroups should now be a priority for future research.

Ningrum VDA, Istikharah R, Sadewa AH. Genetic Polymorphism of ITGA2 C807T Collagen Receptor Encoding Gene of Aspirin Therapy among Javanese-Indonesian Healthy Respondents. Open Access Maced J Med Sci 2021.

Abstract
BACKGROUND: Aspirin is an antiplatelet drug commonly administered as primary and secondary prophylaxis to prevent thromboembolic events. However, there has been a common incidence of aspirin resistance that leads to a recurrent cerebrovascular disease. One of the causes of such event is the genetic polymorphisms of the integrin alpha-2 (ITGA2) gene that encodes the glycoprotein Ia (GPIa) receptor in the pharmacodynamics of aspirin.
AIM: This study analyzed the genetic polymorphism of ITGA2 as the GPIa collagen receptor encoding gene of aspirin therapy among healthy Javanese, the largest ethnic group in Indonesia.
METHODS: This cross-sectional study involved 100 respondents who met the inclusion criteria with their blood sample taken for DNA isolation. Identification of genetic polymorphism in the target SNPs was done using the PCR-RFLP method with 5’-CCTTAAAGCTACCGGCCCATGT-3’ forward primer and 5’-TTGGCCTATTAGCACCAAAACTTACC-3’ reverse primer as well as Hpy188Irestriction enzyme to fragment the target at position 244 in the C base.
RESULTS: This study found that the dominant genotype and allele were CT (51%) and C (66.5%), respectively.
CONCLUSION: The allele frequency of ITGA2 gene in this study was similar to that of the populations in other Asian countries. Further research regarding the effects of ITGA2 C807T polymorphism on the pharmacodynamics of aspirin as an antiplatelet is recommended to minimize atherothrombotic events and examine its interactions as a biomarker of the risk and prognosis of some cancer types.

Platelet Endothelial Aggregation Receptor 1 Polymorphism Is Associated With Functional Outcome in Small-Artery Occlusion Stroke Patients Treated With Aspirin. Front Cardiovasc Med 2021; 8:664012. [PMID: 34540909 PMCID: PMC8440843 DOI: 10.3389/fcvm.2021.664012] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/04/2021] [Accepted: 07/31/2021] [Indexed: 01/05/2023] Open
Abstract
Background: The role of genetic polymorphisms is important in defining the patient's prognosis and outcomes in coronary artery disease. The present study aimed to explore the association between platelet endothelial aggregation receptor 1 (PEAR1) rs12041331 polymorphism and the outcomes in patients with acute ischemic stroke treated with aspirin or dual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT) with clopidogrel. Methods: A total of 868 ischemic stroke patients admitted to our hospital from January 1, 2016 to December 30, 2018 were retrospectively studied. The Trial of Org 10172 in Acute Stroke Treatment (TOAST) classification defined stroke subtypes. These patients were treated with aspirin alone or DAPT. The genotype distribution of PEAR1 rs12041331 single-nucleotide polymorphism (AA, AC, and CC) between different TOAST subtypes and treatment groups was assessed, and the clinical impact of genetic variants on functional outcomes defined by the National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale, modified Rankin Scale, and Barthel Index was analyzed using univariate and multivariate logistic regression models. Results: Among the 868 stroke patients, the PEAR1 AA genotype was 16%, GA was 47%, and GG was 36%. Forty-four percent had aspirin alone, and 56% had DAPT. Overall, the distribution of PEAR single-nucleotide polymorphism was not significant among the two treatment groups or subtypes of TOAST. In contrast, in patients treated with aspirin alone, PEAR1 AA tended to be higher in the small-artery occlusion (SAO) subtype when compared with the no-lacunar subtype, including cardioembolism and large-artery atherosclerosis. PEAR1 AA genotype was significantly associated with favorable functional outcomes at day 7 and discharge only in SAO patients treated with aspirin alone compared with the GG genotype. Multivariate regression models further suggested that AA genotype was independently associated with favorable outcomes in this group after being adjusted for three common stroke risk factors such as age, hypertension history, and C-reactive protein level [odds ratio (OR) 0.23, 95% confidence interval (CI), 0.07–0.64, P = 0.02 for 7-day National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale; OR 0.2, 95% CI, 0.06–0.66, P = 0.03 for 7-day modified Rankin Scale, and OR 0.25, 95% CI, 0.08–0.72, P = 0.03 for 7-day Barthel Index, respectively]. Conclusion: The impact of PEAR1 rs12041331 polymorphism on aspirin depends on the TOAST subtype. PEAR1 AA carrier with SAO stroke is most sensitive to aspirin therapy. PEAR1 AA is an independent factor for the short-term functional outcomes in SAO patients treated with aspirin alone. Clinical Registration Number: 1800019911.

Effect of Aspirin on Mitochondrial Dysfunction and Stress in the Pancreas and Heart of Goto-Kakizaki Diabetic Rats. Life (Basel) 2021; 11:life11090902. [PMID: 34575050 PMCID: PMC8465065 DOI: 10.3390/life11090902] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/06/2021] [Revised: 08/23/2021] [Accepted: 08/27/2021] [Indexed: 11/23/2022] Open
Abstract
Our previous study in Goto-Kakizaki (GK) type 2 diabetic rats provided significant evidence that aspirin treatment improves pancreatic β-cell function by reducing inflammatory responses and improving glucose tolerance. In the present study, we aimed to elucidate the mechanism of action of aspirin on the pathophysiology and progression of type 2 diabetic complications in the heart and pancreas of insulin-resistant GK rats. Aspirin treatment demonstrated a reduction in mitochondrial reactive oxygen species (ROS) production and lipid peroxidation, accompanied by improved redox homeostasis. Furthermore, the recovery of metabolic and mitochondrial functions, as well as cytochrome P450 enzyme activities, which were altered in the pancreas and heart of GK rats, were observed. Aspirin treatment brought the activity of CYP 2E1 to the control level in both tissues, whereas the CYP 3A4 level decreased only in the pancreas. This suggests the tissue-specific differential metabolism of substrates in these rats. The recovery of redox homeostasis could be the key target in the improvement of oxidative-stress-dependent alterations in mitochondrial functions which, in turn, facilitated improved energy metabolism in these tissues in the aspirin-treated GK rats. These results may have implications in determining the therapeutic use of aspirin, either alone or in combination with other clinically approved therapies, in insulin-resistant type 2 diabetes.

Thrombopoietin Contributes to Enhanced Platelet Activation in Patients with Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus. Int J Mol Sci 2021; 22:ijms22137032. [PMID: 34210000 PMCID: PMC8269076 DOI: 10.3390/ijms22137032] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/09/2021] [Revised: 06/22/2021] [Accepted: 06/25/2021] [Indexed: 12/11/2022] Open
Abstract
Atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease is the major cause of morbidity and mortality in patients with type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM). Enhanced platelet reactivity is considered a main determinant of the increased atherothrombotic risk of diabetic patients. Thrombopoietin (THPO), a humoral growth factor able to stimulate megakaryocyte proliferation and differentiation, also modulates the response of mature platelets by enhancing both activation and binding to leukocytes in response to different agonists. Increased THPO levels have been reported in different clinical conditions characterized by a generalized pro-thrombotic state, from acute coronary syndromes to sepsis/septic shock, and associated with elevated indices of platelet activation. To investigate the potential contribution of elevated THPO levels in platelet activation in T1DM patients, we studied 28 T1DM patients and 28 healthy subjects. We measured plasma levels of THPO, as well as platelet-leukocyte binding, P-selectin, and THPO receptor (THPOR) platelet expression. The priming activity of plasma from diabetic patients or healthy subjects on platelet–leukocyte binding and the role of THPO on this effect was also studied in vitro. T1DM patients had higher circulating THPO levels and increased platelet–monocyte and platelet–granulocyte binding, as well as platelet P-selectin expression, compared to healthy subjects, whereas platelet expression of THPOR did not differ between the two groups. THPO concentrations correlated with platelet–leukocyte binding, as well as with fasting glucose and Hb1Ac. In vitro, plasma from diabetic patients, but not from healthy subjects, primed platelet–leukocyte binding and platelet P-selectin expression. Blocking THPO biological activity using a specific inhibitor prevented the priming effect induced by plasma from diabetic patients. In conclusion, augmented THPO may enhance platelet activation in patients with T1DM, potentially participating in increasing atherosclerotic risk.

Abstract
The benefits and risks of aspirin therapy for patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) who have a high burden of cardiovascular events (CVE) are controversial. To examine the effects of low-dose aspirin on major clinical outcomes in patients with CKD. As a prospective observational cohort study, using propensity score matching, 531 aspirin recipients and non-recipients were paired for analysis from 2070 patients and fulfilled the inclusion criteria among 2238 patients with CKD. The primary outcome was the first occurrence of major CVE. The secondary outcomes were kidney events defined as a > 50% reduction of estimated glomerular filtration rate from baseline, doubling of serum creatinine, or onset of kidney failure with replacement therapy, the all-cause mortality, and bleeding event. The incidence of CVE was significantly greater in low-dose aspirin users than in non-users (HR 1.798; P = 0.011). A significant association between aspirin use and an increased risk of CVE was observed only in the lowest quartile of body weight (HR 4.014; P = 0.019) (Q1 < 60.0 kg). Secondary outcomes were not significantly different between aspirin users and non-users. It needs to be individualized of prescribing low-dose aspirin for the prevention of cardiovascular events in patients with chronic kidney disease, particularly patients with low bodyweight (< 60 kg).

Abstract
Despite the clinical benefits of aspirin, the interindividual variation in response to this antiplatelet drug is considerable. The manifestation of aspirin resistance (AR) is frequently observed, although this complex process remains poorly understood. While AR etiology is likely to be multifactorial, genetic factors appear to be preponderant. According to several genetic association studies, both genome-wide and candidate gene studies, numerous SNPs in cyclooxygenase, thromboxane and platelet receptors-related genes have been identified as capable of negatively affecting aspirin action. Thus, it is essential to understand the clinical relevance of AR-related SNPs as potential predictive and prognostic biomarkers as they may be essential to defining the AR phenotype.

Abstract
Coronary artery disease (CAD), the most common cardiovascular disease (CVD), contributes to significant mortality worldwide. CAD is a multifactorial disease wherein various factors contribute to its pathogenesis often complicating management. Biomarker based personalized medicine may provide a more effective way to individualize therapy in multifactorial diseases in general and CAD specifically. Systems' biology "Omics" biomarkers have been investigated for this purpose. These biomarkers provide a more comprehensive understanding on pathophysiology of the disease process and can help in identifying new therapeutic targets and tailoring therapy to achieve optimum outcome. Metabolomics biomarkers usually reflect genetic and non-genetic factors involved in the phenotype. Metabolomics analysis may provide better understanding of the disease pathogenesis and drug response variation. This will help in guiding therapy, particularly for multifactorial diseases such as CAD. In this chapter, advances in metabolomics analysis and its role in personalized medicine will be reviewed with comprehensive focus on CAD. Assessment of risk, diagnosis, complications, drug response and nutritional therapy will be discussed. Together, this chapter will review the current application of metabolomics in CAD management and highlight areas that warrant further investigation.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Low dose aspirin (LDA) is recommended for women at increased risk of preeclampsia (PE), however it is not always effective. The study sought to determine the prevalence of non-response to LDA and to ascertain the effect of increasing aspirin dose in non-responders. STUDY DESIGN Single centre, cohort study of 166 women at increased risk of PE was conducted in a large maternity unit in the UK between 2013 and 2016. All women were prescribed 75 mg of aspirin and invited to attend study visits at 18-24 weeks' and 32-36 weeks' gestation. Non-response was defined as a serum thromboxane B2 (TXB2) ≤10 ng/mL. Aspirin dose was increased to 150 mg if a bedside VerifyNow test suggested non-response (test value ≥ 550 arachidonic acid reactive units [ARU]) at 18-24 weeks. Adherence was assessed by self-report. RESULTS Based on serum TXB2, response rates were 85.3 % at 18-24 weeks and 79.3 % at 32-36 weeks' gestation. Compared to serum TXB2, the VerifyNow test demonstrated moderate test performance (AUC 0.79 95 % CI 0.71-0.88, p < 0.0001) to detect non-response. High prevalence of non-adherence (6/10) was evident in persistent non-response group. Dose change from 75 to 150 mg of aspirin in adherent participants improved response (VerifyNow: 598 [95 % CI 550-665] ARU at 18-24 weeks on 75 mg aspirin, 509 [95 % CI 350-667] at 32-36 weeks on 150 mg of aspirin, [p < 0.0001]). CONCLUSIONS Non-response to LDA is common in pregnancy but appears to be largely attributable to non-adherence. Dose change could be useful to improve response to LDA in this cohort.

Abstract
Sensitivity to acetylsalicylic acid (ASA) is important in the treatment of patients with coronary heart disease (CHD) after coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG). Patients were divided into ASA sensitive (sASA) and ASA resistant (rASA) by the activity of platelet aggregation induced arachidonic acid (ARA) together with ASA. Induced platelet aggregation activity was studied in sASA and rASA patients with CHD before and after CABG. The level of synthesis of primary and secondary reactive oxygen species (ROS) by platelets was determined using chemiluminescent analysis. The activity of NAD- and NADP-dependent dehydrogenases in platelets was determined by the bioluminescent method. It was found that the aggregation activity of platelets depended on the sensitivity of CHD patients to ASA and decreased during postoperative ASA therapy. The most pronounced differences in metabolic parameters of platelets in sASA and rASA patients were detected by Nox2 activity. The synthesis of secondary ROS by platelets of CHD patients did not depend on the sensitivity of patients to ASA but increased during postoperative treatment with ASA. The activity of NAD(P)-dependent dehydrogenases in platelets did not differ in sASA and rASA patients with CHD.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Low-dose aspirin is recommended for the prevention of preeclampsia among women at a high risk of developing the disease. Aspirin undergoes polymorphic metabolism, and it is well known that common genetic polymorphisms are related to aspirin intolerance. We hypothesized that the efficacy of aspirin prophylaxis may differ by ethnicity and race. OBJECTIVE This study aimed to compare the rates of preeclampsia among low- and high-risk women who received aspirin compared with placebo, stratifying results by ethnicity and race as a first-pass approximation of genomic polymorphisms. STUDY DESIGN This is a secondary analysis of 2 randomized controlled trials previously performed by the Maternal-Fetal Medicine Units Network: the Low-Risk Aspirin trial and the High-Risk Aspirin trial. For the Low-Risk Aspirin trial, normotensive, nulliparous women were enrolled between 13 and 26 weeks' gestation and randomized to 60 mg aspirin daily or placebo. For the High-Risk Aspirin trial, women with pregestational insulin-treated diabetes mellitus, chronic hypertension, multiple gestations, or a history of preeclampsia in a previous pregnancy were enrolled between 13 and 26 weeks' gestation and randomized to 60 mg aspirin daily or placebo. The primary outcome of our secondary analysis was preeclampsia. Secondary outcomes included gestational age at delivery, preterm delivery, placental abruption, small for gestational age, stillbirth, and neonatal death. Outcomes were stratified by ethnicity and race (Hispanic, non-Hispanic white, non-Hispanic black, or other). RESULTS In the Low-Risk Aspirin trial of 3135 women, the risk of preeclampsia was significantly reduced among non-Hispanic white women who received aspirin compared with non-Hispanic white women who received placebo (relative risk, 0.19; 95% confidence interval, 0.06-0.63; P=.007). The risk of preeclampsia was not different when comparing the aspirin and placebo groups among the Hispanic, non-Hispanic black, or other ethnicity and race groups. The efficacy among non-Hispanic white women persisted after consideration of compliance and gestational age at randomization (relative risk, 0.07; 95% confidence interval, 0.009-0.51; P=.009). As noted in the original trial, there was an increased risk of placental abruption in the aspirin group overall compared with placebo (P=.025). The risk of stillbirth was significantly increased among non-Hispanic black women who received aspirin compared with non-Hispanic black women who received placebo (P=.048). In the High-Risk Aspirin trial of 2539 women, 269 were Hispanic (10.6%), 832 were non-Hispanic white (32.8%), 1426 were non-Hispanic black (56.2%), and 12 were categorized as other (0.5%). Stratification by ethnicity and race did not reveal a decreased incidence of preeclampsia for any of the subgroups (P>.05). Moreover, there was no significant difference in other measured outcomes including preterm delivery at <37 weeks' gestation, placental abruption, small for gestational age, stillbirth, or neonatal death. CONCLUSION The incidence of preeclampsia was significantly reduced among low-risk non-Hispanic white women who received aspirin compared with placebo (P=.007), but not overall or among Hispanic or non-Hispanic black women. The analysis of high-risk women did not indicate a difference in the efficacy of aspirin by ethnicity and race.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES The objective of this study is to investigate possible changes in aspirin resistance during and after pregnancy over time. STUDY DESIGN A longitudinal cohort study in obstetric high risk women with an indication for aspirin usage during pregnancy to prevent placenta mediated pregnancy complications. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES Aspirin resistance measured in the first, second and third trimester of pregnancy and at least three months postpartum by four complementary test: PFA-200, VerifyNow®, Chronolog light transmission aggregometry (Chronolog LTA) and serum thromboxane B2 (TxB2) level measurements. Correlation between the devices was investigated. RESULTS In total, 23 pregnant women participated in the present study. Aspirin resistance according to the PFA-200, VerifyNow®, Chronolog LTA and serum TxB2, was 30.4%, 17.4%, 26.1% and 23.8% respectively. Resistance by any device was 69.6%. Aspirin resistance measured by the VerifyNow®, Chronolog LTA, serum TxB2 and aspirin resistance by any device during pregnancy was demonstrated more frequently than aspirin resistance after pregnancy. Correlation between the different devices was weak. CONCLUSION Aspirin resistance was found in a considerable part of the participants. Considerable variation between participants, within participants over time and between the different devices was found. Prevalence of aspirin resistance during pregnancy differs from after pregnancy. More research on aspirin resistance and clinical obstetric outcome is needed.

Abstract
Aspirin resistance (AR) commonly refers to the concept of reduced aspirin efficacy in preventing cardiovascular disease and platelet inhibition. Obesity increases the risk of heart disease three- to four-fold and has been associated with AR. Aspirin is used as a tool for both primary and secondary prevention, but recent studies suggest that its lack of efficacy for primary prevention is partly attributable to obesity. Several mechanisms have been described that contribute to AR in obese patients using pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics. AR may be attenuated through weight loss, alternative dosing regimens, and different drug formulations. With the global rise of obesity, it is imperative to find preventive therapies that adequately address atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD) risk in this population.

Abstract
BACKGROUND It is still not easy to predict severity promptly in patients with acute ischemic stroke (AIS) and transient ischemic attack (TIA). We investigated that platelet parameters or combinations of them could be a useful tool for early prediction of severity of AIS and TIA at admission and after 3 months. METHODS We prospectively recruited 104 patients newly diagnosed with AIS and TIA. We investigated their neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) and platelet parameters. According to the Modified Rankin Scale scores, the patients were divided into two groups. RESULTS In receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analyses, mean platelet volume (MPV), NLR/platelet count (PLT), MPV/PLT, MPV*NLR, and MPV*NLR/PLT showed statistically significant results in both at admission and after 3 months. Values of area under ROC curves for those tests at admission were 0.646, 0.697, 0.664, 0.708, and 0.722, respectively. Also, values after 3 months were 0.591, 0.661, 0.638, 0.662, and 0.689, respectively. CONCLUSION MPV*NLR/PLT could be used as a relatively good tool for predicting severity at the time of admission and after 3 months than other parameters or combinations of them. Further studies have to be carried out to investigate the best parameter for predicting the severity of AIS and TIA.

Abstract
Background Beside the lipid-lowering effect, statins slow the progression of atherosclerosis by exerting anti-inflammatory and platelet inhibiting effects. We investigated whether platelet inhibition by simvastatin correlates with the statin effects on lipid lowering, inflammation, oxidative stress, and endothelial and platelet activation. Methods In hypercholesterolemic patients allocated to diet (n=20) or a 2-month treatment with diet plus 40 mg simvastatin (n=25), we evaluated platelet aggregating responses to ADP, collagen, and arachidonic acid (AA), the effect of aspirin on AA-induced aggregation, pro- and anti-inflammatory and atherogenic mediators (IL-1β, -5, -6, -7, -8, -9, -10, -12, and -13, IFN-γ, IP-10, Eotaxin, and sRAGE), markers of endothelium (sE-selectin, VEGF, and MCP-1) and platelet activation (sP-selectin, sCD-40L, RANTES, and PDGF-bb), and oxidative stress (8-OH-2'-deoxyguanosine). Results After treatment, beside the improvement of lipid profile, we observed the following: a reduction of platelet aggregation to ADP (p=0.0001), collagen (p=0.0001), AA (p=0.003); an increased antiaggregating effect of aspirin in the presence of AA (p=0.0001); a reduction of circulating levels of IL-6 (p=0.0034), IL-13 (p<0.0001), IFN-γ (p<0.0001), VEGF (p<0.0001), sE-selectin (p<0.0001), sCD-40L (p<0.0001), sP-selectin (p=0.003), and 8-OH-2'-deoxyguanosine (p<0.0001); an increase of IL-10 and sRAGEs (p=0.0001 for both). LDL-cholesterol levels (i) positively correlated with IL-6, IFN-γ, E-selectin, sCD-40L, 8-OH-2'-deoxyguanosine, platelet aggregation to ADP, collagen, AA, and aspirin IC-50 and (ii) negatively correlated with IL-10 and sRAGE. In multiple regression analyses, LDL-cholesterol was the strongest predictor for most parameters of platelet reactivity. Conclusion In primary hypercholesterolemia, simvastatin treatment reduced platelet activation and subclinical inflammation and improved endothelial dysfunction. LDL-cholesterol levels were the major correlate of platelet reactivity; however, other effects of statins may contribute to reducing the progression of atherosclerosis.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Research has revealed that a decreased antiplatelet effect (low response [LR]/high on-treatment platelet reactivity [HPR]) of acetylsalicylic acid (ASA) and clopidogrel is associated with an increased risk of thromboembolic events. There are extensive ASA low response (ALR) and clopidogrel low response (CLR) prevalence data in the literature, but there are only a few studies concerning vascular surgical patients. The aim of this study was to examine the prevalence and risk factors of ALR and CLR in vascular surgical patients. MATERIALS AND METHODS We examined n = 154 patients with an antiplatelet long-term therapy, who were treated due to peripheral artery occlusive disease (PAD) and/or arteria carotis interna stenosis (CVD). To detect an ALR or CLR, we examined full blood probes with impedance aggregometry (ChronoLog® Aggregometer model 590). Risk factors were examined by acquisition of concomitant disease, severity of vascular disease, laboratory test results and medication. RESULTS We found a prevalence of 19.3 % in the ALR group and of 21.1 % in the CLR group. Risk factors for ALR were an increased platelet and leucocyte count and co-medication with pantoprazole. We found no significant risk factors for a decreased antiplatelet effect of clopidogrel treatment. CONCLUSION The investigated prevalence for ALR and CLR are in the range of other studies, particularly based on cardiological patients. More investigations are needed to gain a better evaluation of the risk factors for HPR and to develop an effective antiplatelet therapy regime to prevent cardiovascular complications.

Abstract
Low-dose aspirin (LDA) is advocated for women at high-risk of pre-eclampsia, providing a modest, 10%, reduction in risk. Cardiology meta-analyses demonstrate 18% reduction in serious vascular events with LDA. Non-responsiveness to aspirin (sometimes termed aspirin resistance) and variable clinical effectiveness are often attributed to suboptimal adherence. The aim of this review was to identify the scope of adherence assessments in RCTs evaluating aspirin effectiveness in cardiology and obstetrics and discuss the quality of information provided by current methods. We searched MEDLINE, EMBASE and the Cochrane Library, limited to humans and English language, for RCTs evaluating aspirin in cardiology; 14/03/13-13/03/16 and pregnancy 1957-13/03/16. Search terms; 'aspirin', 'acetylsalicylic acid' appearing adjacent to 'myocardial infarction' or 'pregnancy', 'pregnant', 'obstetric' were used. 38% (25/68) of obstetric and 32% (20/62) of cardiology RCTs assessed aspirin adherence and 24% (6/25) and 29% (6/21) of obstetric and cardiology RCTs, respectively, defined acceptable adherence. Semi-quantitative methods (pill counts, medication weighing) prevailed in obstetric RCTs (93%), qualitative methods (interviews, questionnaires) were more frequent in obstetrics (67%). Two obstetric RCTs quantified serum thromboxane B2 and salicylic acid, but no quantitative methods were used in cardiology Aspirin has proven efficacy, but suboptimal adherence is widespread and difficult to accurately quantify. Little is currently known about aspirin adherence in pregnancy. RCTs evaluating aspirin effectiveness show over-reliance on qualitative adherence assessments vulnerable to inherent inaccuracies. Reliable adherence data is important to assess and optimise the clinical effectiveness of LDA. We propose that adherence should be formally assessed in future trials and that development of quantitative assessments may prove valuable for trial protocols.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES The objective of this study is to evaluate agreement between PlGF and sFlt-1/PlGF ratio tests and compare their predictive accuracy for pre-eclampsia in high-risk women. Also, to examine for associations of abnormal PlGF or sFlt-1/PlGF ratio with abnormal uterine artery Doppler and platelet response to aspirin. METHODS Prospective cohort study, 150 pregnant women at high risk of pre-eclampsia prescribed 75 mg aspirin daily. Uterine artery Dopplers were assessed at 20+0-23+6 weeks. At 33+0-35+6 weeks platelet function aspirin metabolites, PlGF and the sFlt-1/PlGF ratio were measured. OUTCOME Measures were all pre-eclampsia and pre-eclampsia requiring delivery prior to 37 weeks. RESULTS Overall percent agreement was 89.3% for PlGF tests but 74.7-78% for PlGF tests and the sFlt-1/PlGF ratio. AUCs were 0.70-0.75 for prediction of any pre-eclampsia and 0.92-0.99 for preterm pre-eclampsia. We found a significant association between abnormal PlGF or sFlt-1/PlGF ratio and abnormal uterine artery Doppler (χ2 5.47, p = .019), but no association with platelet response to aspirin (χ2 0.12, p = .913). There were no associations between suboptimal aspirin adherence and either abnormal angiogenic markers or uterine artery Dopplers (χ2 0.144, 0.038, p = .704, .846, respectively). CONCLUSIONS There was good agreement between PlGF tests and limited agreement between PlGF tests and the sFlt-1/PlGF ratio. All tests have heightened predictive accuracy for preterm pre-eclampsia. Abnormal PlGF or sFlt-1/PlGF ratio relates to abnormal uterine artery Doppler but not platelet response to aspirin.

Abstract
Our aim was to explore the preventive and therapeutic effects of sodium (±)-5-bromo-2-(α-hydroxypentyl) benzoate (brand name: brozopine, BZP) on stroke in Dahl Salt-sensitive (Dahl-SS) hypertensive rats. Dahl-SS rats were fed a high-salt diet to observe the effect of BZP on blood pressure, and brain, heart, and kidney tissues. Additionally, the incidence of stroke was recorded according to the neurological score. The relative mechanisms investigated included anti-oxidative effects and anti-platelet aggregation. BZP reduced the incidence of stroke, neuronal necrosis in the brain, and cell swelling and inflammatory infiltration in the kidney. Its mechanisms were related to the increased activities of gluthatione peroxidase and catalase and the decreased level of plasma nitric oxide. BZP inhibited arachidonic acid (AA) - induced platelet aggregation (IC50: 12µM) rather than that of adenosine diphosphate (ADP) - and/or thrombin-induced platelet aggregation in vitro. Interestingly, BZP inhibited ADP-, thrombin-, or AA-induced platelet aggregation and elevated the level of AMP-activated protein kinase, cyclic guanosine monophosphate, and vasodilator-stimulated-phosphoprotein, and attenuated ATP contents and mitogen-activated protein kinase levels in platelet and inhibited thrombus formation in a carotid artery thrombosis model, dose-dependently, in Dahl-SS hypertensive-induced stroke rats. In conclusion, BZP can have therapeutic and preventive effects on stroke in Dahl-SS hypertensive rats, the mechanisms of which may be related to anti-oxidant, anti-platelet aggregation and anti-thrombus formation.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION The study of pharmacogenomics presents the possibility of individualised optimisation of drug therapy tailored to each patients' unique physiological traits. Both antiplatelet and anticoagulant drugs play a key role in the management of cardiovascular disease. Despite their importance, there is a substantial volume of literature to suggest marked person-to-person variability in their effect. Areas covered: This article reviews the data available for the genetic cause for this inter-patient variability of antiplatelet and anticoagulant drugs. The genetic basis for traditional antiplatelets (i.e. aspirin) is compared with the newly available antiplatelet medicines (clopidogrel, prasugrel and ticagrelor). Similarly, the pharmacogenetics of warfarin is compared with the newer direct oral anticoagulants (DOACs) in detail. Expert Opinion: We identify strengths and weaknesses in the research thus far; including shortcomings in trial design and a review of newer analytical techniques.

Abstract
Mechanisms underlying the pathogenesis of ischemia/reperfusion injury are particularly complex, multifactorial and highly interconnected. A complex and entangled interaction is also emerging between platelet function, antiplatelet drugs, coronary diseases and ischemia/reperfusion injury, especially in diabetic conditions. Here we briefly summarize features of antiplatelet therapy in type 2 diabetes (T2DM). We also treat the influence of T2DM on ischemia/reperfusion injury and how anti-platelet therapies affect post-ischemic myocardial damage through pleiotropic properties not related to their anti-aggregating effects. miRNA-based signature associated with T2DM and its cardiovascular disease complications are also briefly considered. Influence of anti-platelet therapies and different effects of healthy and diabetic platelets on ischemia/reperfusion injury need to be further clarified in order to enhance patient benefits from antiplatelet therapy and revascularization. Here we provide insight on the difficulty to reduce the cardiovascular risk in diabetic patients and report novel information on the cardioprotective role of widely used anti-aggregant drugs.

Remote Assessment of Platelet Function in Patients with Acute Stroke or Transient Ischaemic Attack. Stroke Res Treat 2017; 2017:7365684. [PMID: 28630782 PMCID: PMC5463170 DOI: 10.1155/2017/7365684] [Citation(s) in RCA: 8] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.1] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/08/2016] [Revised: 03/03/2017] [Accepted: 03/30/2017] [Indexed: 01/21/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND The TARDIS trial assessed the safety and efficacy of intensive versus guideline antiplatelet agents given for one month in patients with acute stroke or TIA. The aim of this substudy was to assess the effect of antiplatelet agents taken at baseline on platelet function reactivity and activation. METHODS Platelet function, assessed by remotely measured surface expression of P-selectin, was assessed in patients at their time of randomisation. Data are median fluorescence values. RESULTS The aspirin P-selectin test demonstrated that platelet expression was lower in 494 patients taking aspirin than in 162 patients not: mean 210 (SD 188) versus 570 (435), difference 360.3 (95% CI 312.2-408.4) (2p < 0.001). Aspirin did not suppress P-selectin levels below 500 units in 23 (4.7%) patients. The clopidogrel test showed that platelet reactivity was lower in 97 patients taking clopidogrel than in 585 patients not: 655 (296) versus 969 (315), difference 314.5 (95% CI 247.3-381.7) (2p < 0.001). Clopidogrel did not suppress P-selectin level below 860 units in 24 (24.7%) patients. CONCLUSIONS Aspirin and clopidogrel suppress stimulated platelet P-selectin, although one-quarter of patients on clopidogrel have high on-treatment platelet reactivity. Platelet function testing may be performed remotely in the context of a large multicentre trial. Trial registration ISRCTN47823388.

Abstract
Vitis labrusca is a grapevine that has antioxidant, neuroprotective, hepatoprotective, and anticarcinogenic activity. However, the antithrombotic effect of Vitis labrusca leaves on platelets is yet to be ascertained. We investigated the inhibitory effect of V. labrusca leaf extract (VLE) on platelet aggregation in vitro and ex vivo. The thromboxane B2 (TXB2) and serotonin concentrations were measured by ELISA. The flavonoids content was measured by ultraperformance liquid chromatography (UPLC). The antithrombotic activity of VLE was evaluated using various agonists in vitro. VLE strongly inhibited adenosine diphosphate (ADP)-induced platelet aggregation. In rats, VLE treatment (100 mg/kg) reduced ADP-stimulated platelet aggregation, without affecting tail bleeding and coagulation time. Moreover, VLE significantly suppressed TXB2 and serotonin secretion. UPLC analysis indicated that VLE contains quercetin, isorhamnetin, and rutin. Our results indicate that VLE possesses antiplatelet activity via the suppression of TXB2 and serotonin, without affecting bleeding. Further, we identified the flavonoids present in VLE. Thus, VLE may be a potential agent for the prevention of cardiovascular diseases.

Abstract
Background Metabolic syndrome is known to be a prothrombotic state. We undertook this study to examine a hypothesis that aspirin resistance may be associated with metabolic syndrome, and to assess other potential determinants of aspirin resistance in patients with cardiovascular disease (CVD). Methods A total of 469 elderly patients with CVD were recruited. One hundred and seventy-two patients with metabolic syndrome and 297 without metabolic syndrome (control group) received daily aspirin therapy (≥ 75 mg) over one month. Platelet aggregation was measured by light transmission aggregometry (LTA). Aspirin resistance was defined as ≥ 20% arachidonic acid (AA)- and ≥ 70% adenosine diphosphate (ADP)-induced aggregation according to LTA. Aspirin semi-responders were defined as meeting one (but not both) of these criteria. Results By LTA, 38 of 469 (8.1%) patients were aspirin resistant. The prevalence of aspirin resistance was higher in the metabolic syndrome group compared with the control group [11.6 % vs. 6.6%, odds ratio (OR) = 2.039; 95% confidence interval (CI): 1.047–3.973]. In the multivariate logistic regression analysis, metabolic syndrome (OR = 4.951, 95% CI: 1.440–17.019, P = 0.011) was a significant risk factor for aspirin resistance. Conclusions A significant number of patients with CVD and metabolic syndrome are resistant to aspirin therapy. This might further increase the risk of cardiovascular morbidity and mortality in these patients.

Abstract
UNLABELLED Antiplatelet agents are pivotal for prevention of coronary artery disease and cerebrovascular disease worldwide. Individual patient data meta-analysis indicates that low-dose aspirin causes a 10% risk reduction in pre-eclampsia for women at high individual risk. However, in the last 15 years it has emerged that a significant proportion of aspirin-treated individuals exhibit suboptimal platelet response, determined biochemically and clinically, termed 'aspirin non-responsiveness', 'aspirin resistance' and 'aspirin treatment failure'. More recently, investigation of aspirin responsiveness has begun in pregnant women. This review explores the history and clinical relevance of 'aspirin resistance' applied to high-risk obstetric populations. TWEETABLE ABSTRACT Is 'aspirin resistance' clinically relevant in high-risk obstetrics?

Abstract
Aspirin is the most widely prescribed drug for the primary and secondary prevention of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases. However, a large number of patients continue to experience thromboembolic events despite aspirin therapy, a phenomenon referred to as aspirin resistance or treatment failure. Aspirin resistance is often observed along with a high incidence of unstable plaque, cardiovascular events and cerebrovascular accident. Studies have shown that aspirin reduces the production of TXA2, but not totally inhibits the activation of platelets. In this review, we analyze current and past research on aspirin resistance, presenting important summaries of results regarding the potential contributive roles of single nucleotide polymorphisms, inflammation, metabolic syndrome and miRNAs. The aim of this article is to provide a brief review on aspirin resistance and platelet function, which will provide important insights into the research of aspirin resistance.

Abstract
Several studies have indicated that approximately 25 % of patients treated with aspirin exhibit high on-treatment platelet reactivity (HTPR), which is potentially associated with cardiovascular events (CVEs). However, this association is still controversial, since the mechanisms by which HTPR contributes to CVEs remain unclear and a no standardised definition of HTPR has been established. To determine whether HTPR is associated with CVE recurrence and what type of assay would best predict CVE recurrence, we conducted a multicentre prospective cohort study of 592 stable cardiovascular outpatients treated with aspirin monotherapy for secondary prevention. Their HTPR was determined by arachidonic acid- or collagen-induced aggregation assays using two different agonist concentrations. Residual cyclooxygenase (COX)-1 activity was assessed by measuring serum thromboxane (TX)B2 or urinary 11-dehydro TXB2. Shear-induced platelet thrombus formation was also examined. We followed all patients for two years to evaluate how these seven indexes were related to the recurrence of CVEs (cerebral infarction, transient ischaemic attack, myocardial infarction, unstable angina, revascularisation, other arterial thrombosis, or cardiovascular death). Of 583 patients eligible for the analysis, CVEs occurred in 69 (11.8 %). A Cox regression model identified several classical risk factors associated with CVEs. However, neither HTPR nor high residual COX-1 activity was significantly associated with CVEs, even by applying cut-off values suggested in previous reports or a receiver-operating characteristic analysis. In conclusion, recurrence of CVEs occurred independently of HTPR and residual COX-1 activity. Thus, our findings do not support the use of platelet or COX-1 functional testing for predicting clinical outcomes in stable cardiovascular patients.

Abstract
Background Aspirin resistance established by different laboratory methods is still a debated problem. Using COX1 specific methods no aspirin resistance was detected among healthy volunteers. Here we tested the effect of chronic aspirin treatment on platelets from patients with stable coronary artery disease. The expression of COX2 mRNA in platelets and its influences on the effect of aspirin was also investigated. Methods One hundred and forty four patients were enrolled in the study. The direct measurement of COX1 acetylation was carried out by monoclonal antibodies specific to acetylated and non-acetylated COX1 (acCOX1 and nacCOX1) using Western blotting technique. Arachidonic acid (AA) induced TXB2 production by platelets was measured by competitive immunoassay. AA induced platelet aggregation, ATP secretion and VerifyNow Aspirin Assay were also performed. COX2 and COX1 mRNA expression in platelets were measured in 56 patients by RT-qPCR. Results In 138 patients only acCOX1 was detected, in the remaining six patients nacCOX1 disappeared after a compliance period. AA induced TXB2 production by platelets was very low in all patients including the 6 patients after compliance. AA induced platelet aggregation, secretion and with a few exceptions the VerifyNow Assay also demonstrated the effect of aspirin. Smoking, diabetes mellitus and inflammatory conditions did not influence the results. The very low amount of COX2 mRNA detected in 39 % of the investigated platelets did not influence the effect of aspirin. Conclusions No aspirin resistance was detected among patients with stable coronary artery disease. COX2 expression in platelets did not influence the effect of aspirin.

Abstract
Type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM2) is a metabolic disorder associated with hyperactivation of platelets, increased formation of platelet microparticles (PMPs) and oxidative stress that are related to cardiovascular complications. Acetylsalicylic acid (ASA) is an antiplatelet agent used in the prevention of atherothrombosis. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of ASA by means of platelet activation and oxidative profile. We collected blood samples of 81 patients with DM2 before and during ASA treatment. These samples were analyzed to determine the levels of 2,3-dinor thromboxane-B2 (2,3-dinor-TXB2), PMPs, thiobarbituric acid reactive species (TBARS) and 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide (MTT). Moreover, the relationship between the levels of 2,3-dinor-TXB2 with some clinical and laboratory variables such as glycated hemoglobin, platelet count, D dimer, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol and glycoprotein IIb/IIIa and cyclooxygenase-1 polymorphisms was evaluated. ASA intake did not change the levels of PMP, TBARS and MTT. Although a significant decrease in the levels of 2,3 dinorTXB2 (P < 0.001) in patients under ASA has been observed, an equal and satisfactory response to this drug was not found. However, the presence of PIA2 allele in GPIIIa gene may be associated with a better response to ASA intake in these patients, whereas other clinical and laboratory variables showed no association with this drug use. These findings are consistent with previous reports in the literature that patients with DM2 do not benefit in an equal way from the use of ASA for primary prevention of atherothrombotic events.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION The aim of the study was to evaluate the prevalence of resistance to acetylsalicylic acid (ASA), used for secondary prevention of stroke, including the assessment of risk factors associated with the lack of ASA anti-aggregatory action. MATERIAL AND METHODS Patients after a transient ischaemic attack (TIA) or ischaemic stroke in the acute (n = 111) and chronic phase (n = 87) were enrolled in the study. The assessment of platelet function was performed by whole blood impedance aggregometry using a multi-channel platelet function analyser (Multiplate). RESULTS A proper response to ASA was found in 121 patients (61.1%) (ASA responders), a partial response to ASA in 59 patients (29.8%) (ASA partial responders), and ASA resistance in 18 patients (9.1%) (ASA non-responders). Acetylsalicylic acid resistance was observed more frequently in the chronic phase. The mean low-density lipoprotein (LDL) concentration was higher in ASA non-responders (p = 0.02). The mean heart rate (p = 0.03) and the mean haematocrit (p = 0.03) were higher in the group of ASA partial responders and ASA non-responders. Angiotensin II receptor antagonists were more often used in the group of ASA partial responders and ASA non-responders (p = 0.04). Diuretics were more rarely used by ASA non-responders, whereas fibrates were more rarely used by ASA partial responders. CONCLUSIONS The method enabled the detection of ASA resistance in some patients with cerebrovascular disease. The study revealed some possible risk factors of ASA resistance: long ASA therapy, increased heart rate, higher LDL concentration, and higher haematocrit value. The relationship between the effect of ASA and other medications (angiotensin II receptor blockers, fibrates, diuretics) requires further study. Platelet function monitoring should be considered in patients at a greater risk of ASA resistance.

Endothelial dysfunction in young healthy men is associated with aspirin resistance. Vascul Pharmacol 2015; 67-69:30-7. [PMID: 25697550 DOI: 10.1016/j.vph.2015.02.001] [Citation(s) in RCA: 12] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/25/2014] [Revised: 01/06/2015] [Accepted: 02/02/2015] [Indexed: 12/21/2022]
Abstract
The aim of this study was to investigate the relation between endothelial dysfunction and aspirin response in a young healthy population (102 men aged 18-40). Initial concentrations of the NO pathway metabolites (ADMA, l-arginine, SDMA), cardiovascular risk markers, oxidative stress markers (MDA, thiol index), sICAM1, sVCAM1, PAI-1, sE-selectin, sP-selectin, VEGF, thromboxane B2, 6-keto-PGF1α and arachidonate-induced platelet aggregation (to separate aspirin resistant from sensitive group) were measured. Flow-mediated-vasodilation (FMD) was measured before and after intravenous infusion of 16.0 g of l-arginine. Measurements were repeated following aspirin administration (75 mg/24 h) for 4 days. Both groups were homogenous regarding demographic and biochemical characteristics reflecting cardiovascular risk. Aspirin resistant subjects were characterized by lower baseline FMD and higher FMD following aspirin and l-arginine treatment, as compared to aspirin sensitive control. MDA and nitrotyrosine were greater, whereas thiol index was lower in aspirin resistant men. The sICAM1, sVCAM1, PAI-1, sE-selectin, sP-selectin and VEGF levels were similar in the analyzed groups. Thromboxane in aspirin resistant subjects was greater both at baseline and following aspirin therapy. However, a significant decrease following aspirin treatment was present in both groups. Aspirin resistance in young men is associated with endothelial dysfunction, which could be due to oxidative stress resulting from lipid peroxidation.
