[PMID: 38424433 PMCID: PMC11107432 DOI: 10.2174/0115672050289946240223050737] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/28/2023] [Revised: 01/28/2024] [Accepted: 01/31/2024] [Indexed: 03/02/2024]
Abstract
Dementia, an international health issue distinguished by the impairment of daily functioning due to cognitive decline, currently affects more than 55 million people worldwide, with the majority residing in low-income and middle-income countries. Globally, dementia entails significant economic burdens in 2019, amounting to a cost of 1.3 trillion US dollars. Informal caregivers devote considerable hours to providing care for those affected. Dementia imposes a greater caregiving and disability-adjusted life-year burden on women. A recent study has established a correlation between prolonged Proton Pump Inhibitor (PPI) usage and dementia, in addition to other neurodegenerative conditions. PPIs are frequently prescribed to treat peptic ulcers and GERD (gastroesophageal reflux disease) by decreasing stomach acid secretion. They alleviate acid-related symptoms through the inhibition of acid-secreting H+-K+ ATPase. In a number of observational studies, cognitive decline and dementia in the elderly have been linked to the use of PPIs. The precise mechanism underlying this relationship is unknown. These drugs might also alter the pH of brain cells, resulting in the accumulation of amyloid-beta (Aβ) peptides and the development of Alzheimer's disease (AD). Despite the compelling evidence supporting the association of PPIs with dementia, the results of studies remain inconsistent. The absence of a correlation between PPI use and cognitive decline in some studies emphasizes the need for additional research. Chronic PPI use can conceal underlying conditions, including cancer, celiac disease, vitamin B12 deficiency, and renal injury, highlighting dementia risk and the need for further investigations on cognitive health.

Abstract
Target trial emulation is the process of mimicking target randomized trials using real-world data, where effective confounding control for unbiased treatment effect estimation remains a main challenge. Although various approaches have been proposed for this challenge, a systematic evaluation is still lacking. Here we emulated trials for thousands of medications from two large-scale real-world data warehouses, covering over 10 years of clinical records for over 170 million patients, aiming to identify new indications of approved drugs for Alzheimer's disease. We assessed different propensity score models under the inverse probability of treatment weighting framework and suggested a model selection strategy for improved baseline covariate balancing. We also found that the deep learning-based propensity score model did not necessarily outperform logistic regression-based methods in covariate balancing. Finally, we highlighted five top-ranked drugs (pantoprazole, gabapentin, atorvastatin, fluticasone, and omeprazole) originally intended for other indications with potential benefits for Alzheimer's patients.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The objective of this review is to examine the association between proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) and neurological and/or psychiatric disorders in adults. INTRODUCTION The association between PPIs and neurological and/or psychiatric disorders remains unclear, despite the widespread use of the medications. A systematic review is required to investigate the risk of developing neurological and/or psychiatric disorders following the use of PPIs. INCLUSION CRITERIA Studies including participants aged ≥18 years and using any PPIs, including participants with comorbid conditions or using other medications, will be considered for inclusion. Randomized controlled trials, quasi-experimental studies, and observational studies examining the association of neurological and/or psychiatric disorders with the use of PPIs among adults will be included. METHODS MEDLINE, Embase, PsycINFO, CINAHL, and Cochrane CENTRAL databases will be searched from inception until the present. Two authors will independently screen and review the titles, abstracts, and full texts. The methodological quality of included studies will be assessed using the JBI critical appraisal checklists. Study characteristics, populations, type and duration of PPI usage, status of existing neurological and/or psychiatric disorders, comorbidity conditions, use of other medications, identification of neurological and/or psychiatric disorders (International Classification of Diseases codes vs others), and estimation of the associated neurological and/or psychiatric disorders will be extracted. Studies will be pooled using statistical meta-analysis where available; otherwise, the findings will be presented in narrative format. The Grading of Recommendations, Assessment, Development and Evaluation (GRADE) approach for grading the certainty of evidence will be followed. REVIEW REGISTRATION PROSPERO CRD42022355543.

Abstract
Nearly fifty million older people suffer from neurodegenerative diseases, including Alzheimer (AD) and Parkinson (PD) disease, a global burden expected to triple by 2050. Such an imminent "neurological pandemic" urges the identification of environmental risk factors that are hopefully avoided to fight the disease. In 2022, strong evidence in mouse models incriminated defective lysosomal acidification and impairment of the autophagy pathway as modifiable risk factors for dementia. To date, the most prescribed lysosomotropic drugs are proton pump inhibitors (PPIs), chloroquine (CQ), and the related hydroxychloroquine (HCQ), which belong to the group of disease-modifying antirheumatic drugs (DMARDs). This commentary aims to open the discussion on the possible mechanisms connecting the long-term prescribing of these drugs to the elderly and the incidence of neurodegenerative diseases.Abbreviations: AD: Alzheimer disease; APP-βCTF: amyloid beta precursor protein-C-terminal fragment; BACE1: beta-secretase 1; BBB: brain blood barrier; CHX: Ca2+/H+ exchanger; CMI: cognitive mild impairment; CQ: chloroquine; DMARD: disease-modifying antirheumatic drugs; GBA1: glucosylceramidase beta 1; HCQ: hydroxychloroquine; HPLC: high-performance liquid chromatography; LAMP: lysosomal associated membrane protein; MAPK/JNK: mitogen-activated protein kinase; MAPT: microtubule associated protein tau; MCOLN1/TRPML1: mucolipin TRP cation channel 1; NFE2L2/NRF2: NFE2 like bZIP transcription factor 2; NRBF2: nuclear receptor binding factor 2; PANTHOS: poisonous flower; PD: Parkinson disease; PIK3C3: phosphatIdylinositol 3-kinase catalytic subunit type 3; PPI: proton pump inhibitor; PSEN1: presenilin 1, RUBCN: rubicon autophagy regulator; RUBCNL: rubicon like autophagy enhancer; SQSTM1: sequestosome 1; TMEM175: transmembrane protein 175; TPCN2: two pore segment channel 2; VATPase: vacuolar-type H+-translocating ATPase; VPS13C: vacuolar protein sorting ortholog 13 homolog C; VPS35: VPS35 retromer complex component; WDFY3: WD repeat and FYVE domain containing 3; ZFYVE1: zinc finger FYVE-type containing 1.

Abstract
BACKGROUND There is a lack of consensus among studies on the association between proton pump inhibitor (PPI) use and cognitive impairment. This association is not well studied among minority populations, including among Puerto Ricans. Therefore, we sought to examine this association among Boston-area Puerto Ricans. METHODS The Boston Puerto Rican Health Study is an ongoing longitudinal cohort that enrolled 1499 Boston-area Puerto Rican adults, aged 45-75 years at baseline. Complete outcome and exposure data was available for 1290 baseline participants. Covariate-adjusted linear regression and linear mixed effects models were used to examine the association between PPI use, and global cognition, executive function, and memory cross-sectionally and longitudinally over ~12.7 years of follow-up. Furthermore, we examined the cross-sectional association between long-term PPI use (continuous use of ~6.2 years) and global cognition, executive function, and memory. RESULTS Among 1 290 participants at baseline, 313 (24.3%) self-reported PPI use. Baseline PPI use was not associated with baseline global cognition, executive function, or memory. Baseline PPI use also did not alter the trajectory of global cognition, executive function, or memory over ~12.7 years of follow-up. Long-term PPI use was not associated with global cognition, executive function, or memory over ~12.7 years of follow-up. CONCLUSION In this study of Boston-area Puerto Ricans, we did not observe an association between PPI use and global cognition, executive function, or memory either cross-sectionally or over 12.7 years of follow-up.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Cumulative evidence of dementia risk in patients taking proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) is still inconclusive, probably due to a variety of study designs. OBJECTIVE This study aimed to compare how the association between dementia risk and use of PPIs differs by different outcome and exposure definitions. METHODS We conceptualized a target trial using claims data with 7,696,127 individuals aged 40 years or older without previous dementia or mild cognitive impairment (MCI) from the Association of Statutory Health Insurance Physicians in Bavaria. Dementia was defined as either including or excluding MCI to compare how the results alter by different outcome definitions. We used weighted Cox models to estimate the PPI initiation effect on dementia risk and weighted pooled logistic regression to assess the effect of time-varying use versus non-use during 9 years of study period, including 1 year of wash-out period (2009-2018). The median follow-up time of PPI initiators and non-initiators was 5.4 and 5.8 years, respectively. We also evaluated the association between each PPI agent (omeprazole, pantoprazole, lansoprazole, esomeprazole, and combined use) and dementia risk. RESULTS A total of 105,220 (3.6%) PPI initiators and 74,697 (2.6%) non-initiators were diagnosed with dementia. Comparing PPI initiation with no initiation, the hazard ratio (HR) for dementia was 1.04 [95% confidence interval (CI) 1.03-1.05]. The HR for time-varying PPI use versus non-use was 1.85 (1.80-1.90). When MCI was included in the outcome, the number of outcomes increased to 121,922 in PPI initiators and 86,954 in non-initiators, but HRs remained similar, showing 1.04 (1.03-1.05) and 1.82 (1.77-1.86), respectively. Pantoprazole was the most frequently used PPI agent. Although the estimated HRs for the time-varying use effect of each PPI showed different ranges, all agents were associated with an increased dementia risk. A total of 105,220 (3.6%) PPI initiators and 74,697 (2.6%) non-initiators were diagnosed with dementia.

Acetylsalicylic Acid Effect in Colorectal Cancer Taking into Account the Role of Tobacco, Alcohol and Excess Weight. INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF ENVIRONMENTAL RESEARCH AND PUBLIC HEALTH 2023; 20:ijerph20054104. [PMID: 36901115 PMCID: PMC10001481 DOI: 10.3390/ijerph20054104] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/04/2023] [Revised: 02/17/2023] [Accepted: 02/22/2023] [Indexed: 06/13/2023]
Abstract
Excess weight, smoking and risky drinking are preventable risk factors for colorectal cancer (CRC). However, several studies have reported a protective association between aspirin and the risk of CRC. This article looks deeper into the relationships between risk factors and aspirin use with the risk of developing CRC. We performed a retrospective cohort study of CRC risk factors and aspirin use in persons aged >50 years in Lleida province. The participants were inhabitants with some medication prescribed between 2007 and 2016 that were linked to the Population-Based Cancer Registry to detect CRC diagnosed between 2012 and 2016. Risk factors and aspirin use were studied using the adjusted HR (aHR) with 95% confidence intervals (CI) using a Cox proportional hazard model. We included 154,715 inhabitants of Lleida (Spain) aged >50 years. Of patients with CRC, 62% were male (HR = 1.8; 95% CI: 1.6-2.2), 39.5% were overweight (HR = 2.8; 95% CI: 2.3-3.4) and 47.3% were obese (HR = 3.0; 95% CI: 2.6-3.6). Cox regression showed an association between aspirin and CRC (aHR = 0.7; 95% CI: 0.6-0.8), confirming a protective effect against CRC and an association between the risk of CRC and excess weight (aHR = 1.4; 95% CI: 1.2-1.7), smoking (aHR = 1.4; 95% CI: 1.3-1.7) and risky drinking (aHR = 1.6; 95% CI: 1.2-2.0). Our results show that aspirin use decreased the risk of CRC and corroborate the relationship between overweight, smoking and risky drinking and the risk of CRC.

Abstract
The association between proton pump inhibitor (PPI) use and dementia remains controversial. This cohort study re-examines this issue, addressing shortcomings identified in previous publications using a population-based and a high-dimension propensity-score matched cohort to follow patients for up to 22 years. Cox regression models using baseline characteristics, a lag period, and time-varying variables were used to examine the risk of dementia by cumulative PPI exposure. High-dose PPI users (> 180 days of use) had significantly higher risk of dementia in crude Cox models. After adjustment for medical diagnoses and prescription drug use, these associations disappeared. Among high-dose users starting PPI therapy between 46 and 55 years old, the unadjusted hazard ratio (HR) was 1.55 (95% confidence interval (CI) 1.14, 2.10); the adjusted hazard ratio (aHR) was 1.10 (95% CI 0.80, 1.51). For high-dose users starting therapy between 56 and 65 years, HR = 1.22 (95% CI1.03, 1.44); aHR = 0.99 (95% CI 0.83, 1.17). High-dose users between the ages of 66 and 75 years had no association with the risk of dementia. The use of lag models or time-varying parameters similarly found some association with dementia in crude, but not multivariable Cox models. Although high-dose PPI users were more likely to develop dementia, they were more likely to be diagnosed with dementia risk factors, such as diabetes and cardiovascular disease, which are risk factors for dementia. Controlling for these conditions using multivariable models or a propensity-score matched cohort eliminated this association.

Abstract
Background Safety concerns against the use of proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) based on the risk of dementia, especially Alzheimer’s disease (AD), remain controversial. Here, we investigated the likelihood of AD depending on previous PPI exposure, use duration, and PPI generation. Methods This nested case–control study comprised 17,225 AD patients who were 1:4 matched with 68,900 controls for age, sex, income, and region of residence from Korean National Health Insurance Service-Health Screening Cohort data between 2002 and 2015 using propensity-score matching method. Conditional and unconditional logistic regression analyses were used to evaluate the effects of previous PPI use on AD adjusting for multiple covariates. Results Prior PPI use increased likelihood for AD in current and past PPI users (adjusted odds ratio 1.36 [95% confidence interval (CI) = 1.26–1.46] and 1.11 [95% CI = 1.04–1.18], respectively). Participants with either < 30 days, 30–90 days, or > 90 days of PPI prescription showed higher odds for AD (1.13 [95% CI = 1.07–1.19]; 1.18 [95% CI = 1.10–1.27]; 1.26 [95% CI = 1.16–1.36], respectively). Participants with either 1st-generation or 2nd-generation PPIs demonstrated higher incidences of AD in those with < 30 days (1.14 [95% CI = 1.07–1.22] and 1.13 [95% CI = 1.05–1.22], respectively), 30–90 days (1.19 [95% CI = 1.09–1.30] and 1.17 [95% CI = 1.05–1.29], respectively), or > 90 days (1.18 [95% CI = 1.07–1.30] and 1.27 [95% CI = 1.14–1.43], respectively) of prescription. Conclusions Prior PPI use, regardless of current or past exposure, duration of use, or use of 1st- or 2nd-generation PPIs, may increase likelihood of AD, providing supportive evidence of previous pharmacoepidemiologic studies.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Proton pump inhibitors (PPIs), such as esomeprazole, pantoprazole, dexlansoprazole, and rabeprazole, are one of the most commonly prescribed medications. Several studies have linked the long-term use of PPIs to a potentially increased risk of gastric cancer. Therefore, this study aimed to determine the underlying mechanism of PPI-mediated gastric cancer. METHODS Lysosomes were isolated using immunoprecipitation. The inhibition of vacuolar-type ATPase (V-ATPase) by PPIs was assayed using a PiColorLock Gold Phosphate Detection System. PPI-induced lysosomal stress was analyzed using transcription factor EB (TFEB) nuclear translocation. PPI-induced endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress was analyzed using the expression of protein kinase RNA-like endoplasmic reticulum kinase (PERK), inositol-requiring enzyme 1 (IRE1), and activating transcription factor 6 (ATF6). Finally, reactive oxygen species (ROS) removal was determined using the activity of superoxide dismutase (SOD). RESULTS PPIs caused a 70% inhibition of V-ATPase activity at 20 μM, leading to lysosomal stress through TFEB nuclear translocation; ER stress by inducing the expression of PERK, IRE1, and ATF6; and enhanced SOD activity for ROS removal. CONCLUSION The long-term use of PPIs inhibits lysosomal V-ATPase, leading to ER stress and ROS accumulation, which may result in an increased risk of gastric cancer. Because lysosomes and the ER are common organelles in cells, physicians prescribing PPIs for gastroesophageal reflux and peptic ulcer diseases should pay more attention to the general effects of these agents on the human body.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The association between proton pump inhibitor (PPI) use and increased risk of dementia is controversial. AIM Investigating this issue in a large population of community-dwelling elders. METHODS Our database was retrospectively searched for all community-dwelling patients aged ≥65 years who newly diagnosed with dementia/cognitive decline (DCD) between January 2002 - December 2012. Receiving ≥11 prescriptions of PPIs/year was categorized as PPI users. Clinical data were collected from the medical files. Risk of DCD in PPI users was analyzed by Cox regression models. RESULTS Included 48,632 elders of whom 8,848 were diagnosed with DCD (18.2%). PPI use was documented in 10,507, of whom 1,959 were subsequently diagnosed with DCD (18.6%). Among 38,125 non-PPI users, 6,889 (18.1%) were diagnosed with DCD. The hazard ratio for occurrence of DCD in PPI users compared to non-users was 0.85 (95% CI: 0.81-0.89, P <0.001) in an un-adjusted Cox regression model and 0.83 in a Cox regression model adjusted for age and sex (95% CI: 0.79-0.87, P <0.001). Multivariate Cox regression accounting for background diseases, marital status, and socioeconomic state yielded a hazard ratio of 0.77 (95% CI: 0.73-0.81, P <0.001). CONCLUSION PPI use wasn't associated with DCD development in chronic PPI users.

Abstract
Background Proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) are one of the most commonly prescribed pharmacological groups. Their high prevalence and duration of use are of important health concern due to the risk they can cause to patients. Despite these risks, their use remains particularly high, especially in the elderly population. We determined the trend in the prevalence of PPI consumption in the population of the Lleida Health Region between 2002 and 2015 to explore patterns of use and associated characteristics. Methods An analysis of secular trends between 2002 and 2015 was performed. The database included all individuals who used PPIs in the Lleida Health Region, which had 358.070 inhabitants in 2015. PPI use was evaluated using prescription dispensing data from the public health system. All types of PPIs approved by the pharmaceutical agency were included. Trends were investigated by age and sex. Results For the whole study period, a total of 215,417 individuals accounted for 292,122 dispensations. Overall, 48% were women, and the mean age was 62 years. The dispensing prevalence of PPI use in 2015 was 18.0% overall—20.4% for women and 15.7% for men—and was 54.6% for those over 65 years. In terms of the subtypes of PPIs, 16.8% of prescriptions were for omeprazole, 0.66% were for pantoprazole, and 0.48% were for lansoprazole. The evolution of the annual PPIs dispensation prevalence showed a progressive increase from 11.3% in 2002 to 18.0% in 2015, which was attributable to an increase in the use of omeprazole (9.0% vs. 16.8%) and, to a lesser extent, esomeprazole (0.02% vs. 0.4%). Conclusion An increase in the prevalence of PPI dispensation was observed over 14 years of follow-up. The prevalence of dispensation was especially high for the population older than 65 years, despite the risk of cognitive decline and falls. Comprehensive actions are required to to increase rational prescribing of PPIs, especially in high-risk populations.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Understanding the adverse effects of proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) is important due to their widespread use, but the available evidence for an increased dementia risk among patients taking PPIs is inconclusive. The present study aimed to estimate the causal effect of PPIs on the risk of dementia by target trial emulation and time-varying exposure modeling. METHODS Using claims data of 2,698,176 insured people of a large German statutory health insurer, we conceptualized a target trial in which individuals aged 40 years and older were classified as PPI initiators or non-initiators between 2008 and 2018, and followed until diagnosis of dementia, death, loss to follow-up or end of study. Incidence of dementia (ICD-10 codes F00, F01, F03, F05.1, G30, G31.0, G31.1, G31.9, and F02.8+G31.82) was defined applying a 1-year lag window. We used weighted Cox models to estimate the effect of PPI initiation vs. non-initiation on dementia risk and weighted pooled logistic regression to estimate the effect of time-varying use vs. non-use. RESULTS 29,746 PPI initiators (4.4%) and 26,830 non-initiators (1.3%) were diagnosed with dementia. Comparing PPI initiation with no initiation, the hazard ratio (HR) for dementia was 1.54 (95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.51-1.58). The HR for time-dependent PPI use vs. non-use was 1.56 (95% CI: 1.50-1.63). Differentiated subtypes, including unspecified dementia, Alzheimer's disease (AD), and vascular dementia (VaD), showed increased risk by PPI initiation and time-varying PPI use. CONCLUSIONS This study suggests that PPI initiation and time-varying PPI use may increase overall dementia risk.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Studies suggest associations between proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) and dementia risk; however, many neither considered histamine-2 receptor antagonists (H2RAs) nor baseline cognitive status. METHODS Participants (National Alzheimer's Coordinating Center Database; 2005-2021) using a PPI or H2RA were compared. Covariate-adjusted Cox regression was used to estimate hazard ratios (HR) for progression from normal cognition to mild cognitive impairment (MCI), and from MCI to dementia over 5 years. In a propensity-score-matched subsample of mild-moderate Alzheimer's disease (AD), mixed-effects negative binomial regression was used to estimate decline in delayed recall memory. RESULTS Compared to PPI, H2RA use was associated with earlier progression from MCI to dementia (HR = 1.40 [1.09-1.81]; n = 1701), and with faster memory decline in AD over time (rate ratio = 0.76 [0.64-0.92]; n = 628), but not with progression from normal cognition to MCI (HR = 0.94 [0.71-1.24]; n = 2784). DISCUSSION Compared to PPIs, H2RAs were associated with cognitive decline, specifically among people with pre-existing cognitive impairment.

Factors associated to potentially inappropriate prescribing in older patients according to STOPP/START criteria: MoPIM multicentre cohort study. BMC Geriatr 2022; 22:44. [PMID: 35016636 PMCID: PMC8751453 DOI: 10.1186/s12877-021-02715-8] [Citation(s) in RCA: 13] [Impact Index Per Article: 6.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/07/2021] [Accepted: 12/10/2021] [Indexed: 01/08/2023] Open
Abstract
OBJECTIVES The objectives of the present analyses are to estimate the frequency of potentially inappropriate prescribing (PIP) at admission according to STOPP/START criteria version 2 in older patients hospitalised due to chronic disease exacerbation as well as to identify risk factors associated to the most frequent active principles as potentially inappropriate medications (PIMs). METHODS A multicentre, prospective cohort study including older patients (≥65) hospitalized due to chronic disease exacerbation at the internal medicine or geriatric services of 5 hospitals in Spain between September 2016 and December 2018 was conducted. Demographic and clinical data was collected, and a medication review process using STOPP/START criteria version 2 was performed, considering both PIMs and potential prescribing omissions (PPOs). Primary outcome was defined as the presence of any most frequent principles as PIMs, and secondary outcomes were the frequency of any PIM and PPO. Descriptive and bivariate analyses were conducted on all outcomes and multilevel logistic regression analysis, stratified by participating centre, was performed on the primary outcome. RESULTS A total of 740 patients were included (mean age 84.1, 53.2% females), 93.8% of them presenting polypharmacy, with a median of 10 chronic prescriptions. Among all, 603 (81.5%) patients presented at least one PIP, 542 (73.2%) any PIM and 263 (35.5%) any PPO. Drugs prescribed without an evidence-based clinical indication were the most frequent PIM (33.8% of patients); vitamin D supplement in older people who are housebound or experiencing falls or with osteopenia was the most frequent PPO (10.3%). The most frequent active principles as PIMs were proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) and benzodiazepines (BZDs), present in 345 (46.6%) patients. This outcome was found significantly associated with age, polypharmacy and essential tremor in an explanatory model with 71% AUC. CONCLUSIONS PIMs at admission are highly prevalent in these patients, especially those involving PPIs or BZDs, which affected almost half of the patients. Therefore, these drugs may be considered as the starting point for medication review and deprescription. TRIAL REGISTRATION NUMBER NCT02830425.

No association between acid suppressant use and risk of dementia: an updated meta-analysis. Eur J Clin Pharmacol 2021; 78:375-382. [PMID: 34811582 DOI: 10.1007/s00228-021-03248-0] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/23/2021] [Accepted: 10/29/2021] [Indexed: 10/19/2022]
Abstract
PURPOSE Findings from large observational studies on whether the use of acid suppressants increases the risk of dementia have been inconsistent. Since proton pump inhibitors (PPI) and histamine-2 receptor antagonists (H2RA) are the most commonly used acid suppressants in clinical practice, we performed a meta-analysis to examine the influence of PPI and H2RA on the risk of dementia. METHODS A systematic search was performed on the PubMed, EMBASE, and Cochrane Library databases to identify studies published up to April, 2021. Studies that reported adjusted hazard ratio (HR) with 95% confidence intervals (CI) for the associations of interest were included. Data in the included studies were pooled using the random-effects model for meta-analysis. Statistical analysis was performed using Stata version 12.0 software. RESULTS Seventeen studies involving 1,251,562 participants were included. It was found that PPI users were not likely to develop dementia compared with those not taking PPI (HR = 0.98, 95% CI: 0.85-1.13). Subgroup analysis based on publication year, location, mean age, duration of PPI use, and female proportion also revealed no association between PPI use and dementia risk. Similarly, H2RA use was not associated with the risk of dementia, as indicated by the pooled HR of 1.20 (95% CI: 0.98-1.47). CONCLUSION Results of this meta-analysis suggest that PPI and H2RA do not increase the risk of dementia. These results may be used to inform the clinical application of acid suppressants. However, further randomized controlled trials are needed to confirm the present conclusions.

Abstract
Early pharmacoepidemiological studies suggested that Proton Pump Inhibitors (PPIs) might increase the risk of Alzheimer’s Disease (AD) and non-AD related dementias. These findings were supported by preclinical studies, specifically stressing the proamyloidogenic and indirect anticholinergic effects of PPIs. However, further large-scale pharmacoepidemiological studies showed inconsistent results on the association between PPIs and dementia. Pharmacodynamically, these findings might be related to the LXR/RXR-mediated amyloid clearance effect and anti-inflammatory action of PPIs. Further aspects that influence PPI effects on AD are related to patient-specific pharmacokinetic and pharmacogenomic characteristics. In conclusion, a personalized (individualized) medicinal approach is necessary to model and predict the potential harmful or beneficial effects of PPIs in AD and non-AD-related dementias in the future.

Abstract
Small vessel disease is a prevalent age-related condition linked to increased risk of dementia and stroke. We investigate the most commonly inherited form, CADASIL, caused by cysteine-involving mutations in NOTCH3. Recent studies highlight accumulation of NOTCH3 N-terminal fragmentation product (NTF) in disease. In vitro, NTF is capable of both spontaneous and catecholamine-enhanced cysteine-mediated oligomerization. Despite well-characterized genetic influence on CADASIL, environmental effects, including medication usage, on disease remain unclear. We studied effects of assorted electrophilic compounds and drugs on NTF oligomerization by SDS-PAGE and dynamic light scattering. We then examined direct proton pump inhibitor-NTF binding with antibodies designed against proton pump inhibitor-labeled proteins and mass spectrometry. Finally, we used monoclonal NTF antibodies with Proximity Ligation Assay to identify NTF oligomers in 3 CADASIL and 2 age-matched control brains. We identified enhancement of NTF oligomerization by two electrophilic cysteine-modifying compounds, N-ethylmaleimide and iodoacetamide, and an electrophilic compound capable of oxidizing cysteines, ferric chloride. Electrophilic clinical drugs (fenoldopam, omeprazole, tenatoprazole, lansoprazole, and rabeprazole) also promoted oligomerization, and we identified direct omeprazole-NTF and tenatoprazole-NTF complexes. Additionally, we provide novel evidence of NTF multimers in human CADASIL brains. A broad array of electrophilic chemicals, including clinically relevant drugs, influences oligomerization of a pathological CADASIL protein, providing mechanistic insight into disease protein oligomerization. We posit that environmental influences, which may include usage of electrophilic drugs, may affect CADASIL presentations.
