Platelet/High-Density Lipoprotein Ratio (PHR) Predicts Type 2 Diabetes in Obese Patients: A Retrospective Study. Healthcare (Basel) 2024; 12:1540. [PMID: 39120243 PMCID: PMC11311744 DOI: 10.3390/healthcare12151540] [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: 06/06/2024] [Revised: 07/27/2024] [Accepted: 07/31/2024] [Indexed: 08/10/2024] Open
Abstract
Background: Obesity and type 2 diabetes (T2D) pose global health problems that continue to rise. A chronic low-grade inflammation and activation of the immune system are well established in both conditions. The presence of these factors can predict disease development and progression. Emerging evidence suggests that platelet-high density lipoprotein ratio (PHR) is a potential inflammatory marker. The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between PHR and T2D among obese patients. Methods: 203 patients with BMI ≥ 30 kg/m2 participated in the study. Patients were categorized into two groups: non-diabetic obese and diabetic obese. Comorbidities, baseline characteristics, laboratory data, as well as PHR levels of the study groups were analyzed. Medians, risk assessment, and the diagnostic performance of PHR values were examined in both groups. Results: In obese patients, the median PHR were significantly increased in obese patients with T2D compared to non-diabetic obese (p < 0.0001). Furthermore, T2D obese with high PHR had a significantly higher FBG and HbA1c (p < 0.05). Although PHR was weakly yet significantly correlated with glycemic markers, ROC curve analysis of the PHR indicated an AUC of 0.700 (p < 0.0001) in predicting T2D in obese patients, and the cutoff value was 6.96, with a sensitivity and specificity of 53.4% and 76.1%, respectively. Moreover, increased PHR (OR = 4.77, p < 0.0001) carried a significantly higher risk for developing T2D in obese individuals. Conclusions: The PHR is a convenient and cost-effective marker that can reliably predict the presence of T2D in high-risk obese population.

Mulorz J, Mazrekaj A, Sehl J, Arnautovic A, Garabet W, Krott KJ, Schelzig H, Elvers M, Wagenhäuser MU. Relative Thrombus Burden Ratio Reveals Overproportioned Intraluminal Thrombus Growth-Potential Implications for Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm. J Clin Med 2024; 13:962. [PMID: 38398275 PMCID: PMC10889130 DOI: 10.3390/jcm13040962] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/11/2024] [Revised: 01/29/2024] [Accepted: 02/06/2024] [Indexed: 02/25/2024] Open
Abstract
Background: An intraluminal, non-occlusive thrombus (ILT) is a common feature in an abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA). This study investigated the relative progression of ILT vs. AAA volume using a novel parameter, the so-called thrombus burden ratio (TBR), in non-treated AAAs. Parameters potentially associated with TBR progression were analyzed and TBR progression in large vs. small and fast- vs. slow-growing AAAs was assessed. Methods: This retrospective, single-center study analyzed sequential contrast-enhanced computed tomography angiography (CTA) scans between 2009 and 2018 from patients with an AAA before surgical treatment. Patients' medical data and CTA scans were analyzed at two given time points. The TBR was calculated as a ratio of ILT and AAA volume, and relative TBR progression was calculated by normalization for time between sequential CTA scans. Spearman's correlation was applied to identify morphologic parameters correlating with TBR progression, and multivariate linear regression analysis was used to evaluate the association of clinical and morphological parameters with TBR progression. Results: A total of 35 patients were included. The mean time between CT scans was 16 ± 15.9 months. AAA volume progression was 12 ± 3% and ILT volume progression was 36 ± 13%, resulting in a TBR progression of 11 ± 4%, suggesting overproportioned ILT growth. TBR progression was 0.8 ± 0.8% per month. Spearman's correlation verified ILT growth as the most relevant parameter contributing to TBR progression (R = 0.51). Relative TBR progression did not differ significantly in large vs. small and fast- vs. slow-growing AAAs. In the multivariate regression analysis, none of the studied factors were associated with TBR progression. Conclusion: TBR increases during AAA development, indicating an overproportioned ILT vs. AAA volume growth. The TBR may serve as a useful parameter, as it incorporates the ILT volume growth relative to the AAA volume, therefore combining two important parameters that are usually reported separately. Yet, the clinical relevance in helping to identify potential corresponding risk factors and the evaluation of patients at risk needs to be further validated in a larger study cohort.

Abstract
Diabetes is a metabolic condition with a rising global prevalence and is characterised by abnormally high blood glucose levels. Cardiovascular disease (CVD) accounts for the majority of deaths in diabetes and, despite improvements in therapy, mortality and hospitalisations in this cohort remain disproportionally higher compared to individuals with normal glucose metabolism. One mechanism for increased CVD risk is enhanced thrombosis potential, due to altered function of the cellular and acellular arms of coagulation. Different mechanisms have been identified that mediate disordered blood clot formation and breakdown in diabetes, including dysglycaemia, insulin resistance, and metabolic co-morbidities. Collectively, these induce platelet/endothelial dysfunction and impair the fibrinolytic process, thus creating a prothrombotic milieu. Despite these abnormalities, current antithrombotic therapies are largely similar in diabetes compared to those without this condition, which explains the high proportion of patients experiencing treatment failure while also displaying an increased risk of bleeding events. In this narrative review, we aimed to summarise the physiological functioning of haemostasis followed by the pathological effects of diabetes mellitus on platelets and the fibrin network. Moreover, we carefully reviewed the literature to describe the current and future therapeutic targets to lower the thrombosis risk and improve vascular outcomes in diabetes.

Abstract
Background Insulin has an inhibitory effect on platelets; however, this is compromised in circumstances of Insulin Resistance (IR), leading to platelet hyperactivity. Platelet parameters such as mean platelet volume, platelet count, and platelet distribution width are simple and accessible potential biomarkers for the early diagnosis and prognosis of IR. Therefore, the aim of this review is to provide insight on the current status of knowledge regarding IR-induced platelet hyperactivation and the potential biomarker role of platelet parameters. Methods This narrative review included articles published in the English language. Searches were carried out at the electronic databases PubMed and Google Scholar. The search strategy was done by combining key words and related database-specific subject terms (Mesh terms) with the appropriate Boolean operators. Conclusion Increasing insulin sensitivity in insulin resistant patients would possibly cause substantial reduction in platelet activation, which in turn reduce complications related with platelet hyperactivation. The standard methods to measure IR are not frequently employed in clinical practice due to their expensiveness and complexity. Thus, early detection of IR using a simple and more widely available biomarkers such as mean platelet volume, platelet count and platelet distribution width would be beneficial. Particularly in developing countries where resource scarcity is a major constraint of the health sector, utilizing such easy and affordable biomarkers may have a crucial role.

Abstract
Hyperreactive platelets are commonly observed in diabetic patients indicating a potential link between glucose homeostasis and platelet reactivity. This raises the possibility that platelets may play a role in the regulation of metabolism. Pancreatic β cells are the central regulators of systemic glucose homeostasis. Here, we show that factor(s) derived from β cells stimulate platelet activity and platelets selectively localize to the vascular endothelium of pancreatic islets. Both depletion of platelets and ablation of major platelet adhesion or activation pathways consistently resulted in impaired glucose tolerance and decreased circulating insulin levels. Furthermore, we found platelet-derived lipid classes to promote insulin secretion and identified 20-Hydroxyeicosatetraenoic acid (20-HETE) as the main factor promoting β cells function. Finally, we demonstrate that the levels of platelet-derived 20-HETE decline with age and that this parallels with reduced impact of platelets on β cell function. Our findings identify an unexpected function of platelets in the regulation of insulin secretion and glucose metabolism, which promotes metabolic fitness in young individuals.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION The aim of this study was to investigate the impact of smoking on dual antiplatelet therapy in patients with minor stroke or transient ischemic attack (TIA) under different glycated albumin (GA) levels. METHODS We analyzed data from the Clopidogrel in High-Risk Patients with Acute Nondisabling Cerebrovascular Events (CHANCE) trial. A subgroup of 3,044 patients with baseline GA levels was included and categorized by smoking status and GA levels. The primary efficacy outcome was a new stroke within 90 days. The safety outcome was any bleeding event at 90 days. The interaction of smoking status with antiplatelet therapy was calculated by Cox proportional hazards regression model. RESULTS In patients with GA levels ≤15.5%, the proportion of smokers was 37.7% (719/1,908), while in patients with GA levels >15.5%, it was 51.6% (586/1,136). During the 3-month follow-up period, 299 (9.9%) patients had a new stroke occurrence. In patients with elevated GA levels, both smokers and nonsmokers could not benefit from dual antiplatelet therapy (smokers, adjusted hazard ratio [HR] 0.70, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.42-1.17; nonsmokers, adjusted HR 0.82, 95% CI: 0.57-1.18). In patients with normal GA levels, dual antiplatelet therapy reduced the risk of stroke recurrence in smokers by 72% (adjusted HR 0.28, 95% CI: 0.14-0.56) and in nonsmokers by 53% (adjusted HR 0.47, 95% CI: 0.26-0.86). However, whether the GA level was elevated or normal, there was no significant interaction between smoking status and antiplatelet therapy. CONCLUSIONS Smokers with elevated GA levels could not benefit from dual antiplatelet therapy after minor stroke or TIA.

Abstract
Neonatal platelet hemostasis, although it has been well described over the recent years, remains elusive in specific patient populations, including neonates from high-risk pregnancies, such as those complicated with gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM). We aimed at evaluating the platelet function of neonates born to mothers with GDM using the platelet function analyzer (PFA-100). Cord blood samples were drawn from each subject and tested with two different agonists to provide two closure time (CT) values (collagen with epinephrine (COL/EPI) and collagen with adenosine diphosphate (COL/ADP)). A total of 84 and 118 neonates formed the GDM and the control group (neonates from uncomplicated pregnancies), respectively. COL/EPI CTs were prolonged in neonates from the GDM group compared to neonates from the control group, while no statistically significant difference of COL/ADP CTs was noted between the two groups, GDM and the control. Higher COL/ADP CTs were demonstrated in neonates born via cesarean section and in neonates with blood group O. A negative correlation between COL/ADP CT and gestational age, white blood cells (WBCs) and von Willebrand factor (VWF) activity was noted in neonates from the GDM group. In conclusion, neonates from the GDM group demonstrate a more hyporesponsive phenotype of their platelets, in comparison to the control neonates.

Abstract
Diabetes mellitus is a complex disease that leads to long-term damage to various organ systems. Among the numerous cardiovascular disease-related complications, thrombotic events frequently occur in patients with diabetes. Although guidelines exist for treating and preventing most diabetes-related co-morbidities, the evidence on antithrombotic therapy in primary and secondary prevention is limited due to the scarcity of randomized trials dedicated to patients with diabetes mellitus. Most of the available data are derived from studies that only included a small proportion of patients with diabetes. The present review provides an overview of the status of knowledge on antiplatelet and anticoagulation therapy in patients with diabetes, focusing on the risk-benefit balance of these therapies and future treatment strategies.

Abstract
Type 2 diabetes is a major risk factor for cardiovascular disease. Given the contribution of platelets to atherothrombosis—which in turn is a major contributor to cardiac events, there may be cause to consider platelet function in management of diabetes. Despite the large body of research concerning the role of platelets in cardiovascular complications of type 2 diabetes, evidence from population-based studies of platelet aggregation in diabetes is limited. Mean Platelet Volume (MPV), a cell trait partially associated with markers of platelet activity, is more commonly available. We investigated the association of metabolic syndrome and diabetes with platelet aggregation to three physiological agonists, ADP, collagen, and epinephrine, in the Framingham Heart Study Offspring cohort. We further examined the relationship between MPV measured with Beckman Coulter LH750 instruments and self-reported diabetes as well as MPV and diabetes medication in the UK BioBank cohort, performing the largest such analysis to date. Increased platelet aggregation associated with prevalent diabetes was observed for low concentration epinephrine (0.1 μM) alone and only in analyses of participants stratified either by male sex and/or having metabolic syndrome. Other agonists and concentrations were not significant for prevalent diabetes, or in opposite direction to the main hypothesis (i.e., they showed lower platelet aggregation associated with diabetes). After a median of 18.1 years follow-up, no platelet aggregation trait was associated with increased risk of diabetes (n = 344 cases). As expected, increased MPV was significantly associated with diabetes (β = 0.0976; P = 8.62 × 10−33). Interestingly, sex-stratified analyses indicated the association of MPV with diabetes is markedly stronger in males (β = 0.1232; P = 1.00 × 10−31) than females (β = 0.0514; P = 7.37 × 10−5). Among diabetes medications increased MPV was associated with Insulin (β = 0.1341; P = 1.38 × 10−11) and decreased MPV with both Metformin (β = 0.0763; P = 1.99 × 10−6) as well as the sulphonylureas (β = 0.0559; P = 0.0034). Each drug showed the same direction of effect in both sexes, however, the association with MPV was nearly twice as great or more in women compared to men. In conclusion, platelet function as measured by aggregation to ADP, collagen, or epinephrine does not appear to be consistently associated with diabetes, however, MPV is robustly associated suggesting future work may focus on how MPV segments pre-diabetics and diabetics for risk prediction.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Diabetes is increasing over time, mainly driven by obesity, aging, and urbanization. Classical macro- and microvascular complications represent the final result of a complex interplay involving atherosclerosis at all stages. METHODS In this review, we aim at focusing on current updates in the pathophysiology of vascular disease in diabetes and discussing how new therapies might influence the management of these patients at high cardiovascular risk. Diabetes shows accelerated atherosclerosis with a larger inflammatory cell infiltrate, thus favoring the development of heart failure. 'Diabetic cardiomyopathy' perfectly describes a specific ischemia- and hypertension- independent entity due to diabetes-related metabolic alterations on myocardial function. Moreover, platelets from subjects with diabetes display a typical hyperreactivity explaining the stronger adhesion, activation, and aggregation. Additionally, diabetes provokes an exaggerated stimulation of the endothelium, with an increased release of reactive oxygen species and a reduced release of nitric oxide, both key elements of the endothelial dysfunction. Also, the coagulation cascade and leukocytes activate contributing to this pro-thrombotic environment. Neutrophils have been recently recognized to play a pivotal role by releasing neutrophil extracellular traps. Finally, microparticles from platelets, neutrophils or monocytes are detrimental effectors on the vessel wall and are involved both in vascular dysfunction and in thrombotic complications. CONCLUSION In light of these findings, the therapeutic management of diabetes needs to be mostly focused on limiting the progression of complications by targeting precise pathophysiological mechanisms rather than the mere glycemic control, which failed to markedly reduce the risk for macrovascular complications and mortality.

J Clin Lab Anal 2019; 34:e23040. [PMID: 31605429 PMCID: PMC7031555 DOI: 10.1002/jcla.23040] [Citation(s) in RCA: 8] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.6] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/06/2019] [Revised: 08/18/2019] [Accepted: 08/21/2019] [Indexed: 12/23/2022] Open
Abstract
Backgrounds Clopidogrel resistance (CR), which was manifested as the failure of platelet inhibition in clopidogrel treatment, was likely to lead to cardiovascular events. Our study was aimed to explore the contribution of DNA methylation in glucokinase (GCK) to the CR risk. Methods Among 36 CR and 36 non‐CR acute coronary syndrome (ACS) patients, the platelet functions were evaluated by VerifyNow P2Y12 assay (turbidimetric‐based optical detection) and DNA methylation levels on two fragments of the CGI from the GCK were investigated through bisulfite pyrosequencing methods. In addition, the GCK mRNA expression was analyzed via quantitative real‐time PCR. Lastly, the logistic regression was employed to test the interaction between GCK methylation and nongenetic variables in CR patients. Results Subunit analysis showed that in male patients without DM but suffering from dyslipidemia, the increased methylation of cg18492943 indicated a risk of poor clopidogrel response (male, NCR vs CR(%): 84.86 ± 6.29 vs 88.16 ± 4.32, P = .032; without DM, NCR vs CR (%): 84.66 ± 6.18 vs 88.16 ± 4.17, P = .029; and dyslipidemia, NCR vs CR (%): 83.81 ± 6.96 vs 88.39 ± 4.74, P = .042).In addition, GCK mRNA expression was reduced in CR patients without DM. Moreover, regression analysis indicated that the values of platelet distribution width (PDW), total cholesterol (TC), and uric acid (UA) were correlated with the incidence of CR, and hypertension lowered the CR risk. Conclusions A higher methylation of cg18492943 in GCK gene would lower the expression of GCK mRNA, which might contribute to CR in patients without DM. Meanwhile, PDW and TC might be risk factors in CR.

Abstract
Diabetes mellitus is an important risk factor for a first cardiovascular event and for worse outcomes after a cardiovascular event has occurred. This situation might be caused, at least in part, by the prothrombotic status observed in patients with diabetes. Therefore, contemporary antithrombotic strategies, including more potent agents or drug combinations, might provide greater clinical benefit in patients with diabetes than in those without diabetes. In this Consensus Statement, our Working Group explores the mechanisms of platelet and coagulation activity, the current debate on antiplatelet therapy in primary cardiovascular disease prevention, and the benefit of various antithrombotic approaches in secondary prevention of cardiovascular disease in patients with diabetes. While acknowledging that current data are often derived from underpowered, observational studies or subgroup analyses of larger trials, we propose antithrombotic strategies for patients with diabetes in various cardiovascular settings (primary prevention, stable coronary artery disease, acute coronary syndromes, ischaemic stroke and transient ischaemic attack, peripheral artery disease, atrial fibrillation, and venous thromboembolism). Finally, we summarize the improvements in cardiovascular outcomes observed with the latest glucose-lowering drugs, and on the basis of the available evidence, we expand and integrate current guideline recommendations on antithrombotic strategies in patients with diabetes for both primary and secondary prevention of cardiovascular disease.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Patients with diabetes are at high cardiovascular (CV) risk due to an exaggerated platelet activation and aggregation. In the first 2000s low-dose aspirin was first recommended for primary prevention, but then re-discussed. METHODS This short narrative review, based on the material searched for and obtained via PubMed up to February 2018, aims at clarifying this controversial topic. RESULTS The JPAD2 study has been designed to evaluate the occurrence of any CV event in a cohort of patients with diabetes and concluded that low-dose aspirin did not influence the risk for CV events while increasing the risk for gastrointestinal (GI) bleeding. Reasons for this result can be found in the role of diabetic platelets, which are known to be hyperreactive, thus producing intensified adhesion, activation, and aggregation. In this setting, other associated metabolic conditions can concur to enhance platelet adhesion and activation. Aspirin resistance has been often considered a guilty actor, although many mechanisms have been mistaken for true aspirin resistance, such as patient poor compliance, inadequate dosing, drug interactions, and high-platelet turnover. However, the mere presence of diabetes is not likely to give a net benefit for CV protection with respect to GI bleeding. CONCLUSION It appears advisable to follow current guidelines addressing first of all classical risk factors and evaluate aspirin therapy in primary prevention only for patients with type 1 or 2 diabetes at increased CV risk and no risk for GI bleeding. Anyway, additional clinical trials are needed to address the current topic.

Abstract
Diabetes mellitus (DM) is a metabolic disorder associated with accelerated atherogenesis and an increased risk of atherothrombotic complications. Multiple mechanisms contribute to the pro-thrombotic status which characterizes DM patients underscoring the importance of antiplatelet therapies used for secondary prevention in these patients. For many years, dual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT) with aspirin and the P2Y12 inhibitor clopidogrel has represented the mainstay of treatment following an acute coronary syndrome (ACS) or in patients undergoing percutaneous coronary interventions (PCI). Although DAPT reduces the incidence of atherothrombotic recurrences, these rates remain high in DM patients underscoring the need for more efficacious therapies. Oral platelet P2Y12 receptor inhibitors with enhanced potency, such as prasugrel and ticagrelor, as well as antiplatelet therapies such as vorapaxar inhibiting the thrombin-mediated platelet signaling pathway, constitute treatment opportunities for patients with DM and have shown to be associated with a greater reduction in ischemic recurrences, albeit at the cost of more bleeding. This article reviews currently available antiplatelet agents and delivers an update on the advances and drawbacks of these agents used for secondary prevention in DM patients experiencing an ACS or undergoing PCI.

Abstract
Diabetes mellitus is a common disease that affects 3–5% of the general population in Italy. In some countries of northern Europe or in North America, it can even affect 6–8% of the population. Of great concern is that the number of cases of diabetes is constantly increasing, probably due to the increase in obesity and the sedentary nature of the population. According to the World Health Organization, in the year 2030 there will be 360 million people with diabetes, compared to 170 million in 2000. This has important repercussions on the lives of patients and their families, and on health systems that offer assistance to patients. In this review, we try to describe in an organized way the pathophysiological continuity between diabetes mellitus, endothelial dysfunction, and platelet hyperaggregation, highlighting the main molecular mechanisms involved and the interconnections.

Abstract
The incidence and prevalence of diabetes mellitus is rapidly increasing worldwide at an alarming rate. Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is the most prevalent form of diabetes, accounting for approximately 90-95% of the total diabetes cases worldwide. Besides affecting the ability of body to use glucose, it is associated with micro-vascular and macro-vascular complications. Augmented atherosclerosis is documented to be the key factor leading to vascular complications in T2DM patients. The metabolic milieu of T2DM, including insulin resistance, hyperglycemia and release of excess free fatty acids, along with other metabolic abnormalities affects vascular wall by a series of events including endothelial dysfunction, platelet hyperactivity, oxidative stress and low-grade inflammation. Activation of these events further enhances vasoconstriction and promotes thrombus formation, ultimately resulting in the development of atherosclerosis. All these evidences are supported by the clinical trials reporting the importance of endothelial dysfunction and platelet hyperactivity in the pathogenesis of atherosclerotic vascular complications. In this review, an attempt has been made to comprehensively compile updated information available in context of endothelial and platelet dysfunction in T2DM.

Abstract
This overview article for the Comprehensive Physiology collection is focused on detailing platelets, how platelets respond to various stimuli, how platelets interact with their external biochemical environment, and the role of platelets in physiological and pathological processes. Specifically, we will discuss the four major functions of platelets: activation, adhesion, aggregation, and inflammation. We will extend this discussion to include various mechanisms that can induce these functional changes and a discussion of some of the salient receptors that are responsible for platelets interacting with their external environment. We will finish with a discussion of how platelets interact with their vascular environment, with a special focus on interactions with the extracellular matrix and endothelial cells, and finally how platelets can aid and possibly initiate the progression of various vascular diseases. Throughout this overview, we will highlight both the historical investigations into the role of platelets in health and disease as well as some of the more current work. Overall, the authors aim for the readers to gain an appreciation for the complexity of platelet functions and the multifaceted role of platelets in the vascular system. © 2017 American Physiological Society.

Abstract
SummaryIt was the study objective to determine whether glycaemic control affects the extent of platelet inhibition by thienopyridines as assessed by vasodilator-stimulated phosphoprotein flow cytometry (VASP-FCT) in patients with diabetes mellitus (DM) undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) during acute coronary syndrome (ACS). Although the proportion of high on-treatment residual platelet reactivity is higher in DM, the contributions of glycaemic control and other factors associated with DM, such as excess body weight and inflammation, to this impaired platelet inhibition by thienopyridines have not yet been fully characterised. In this study, the extent of P2Y12 ADP receptor pathway inhibition was evaluated by the VASP-FCT. Platelet activation was expressed as the platelet reactivity index (PRI). Low response to clopidogrel (LR) was defined as a PRI of >61%. Four hundred forty-five consecutive ACS patients (DM = 160, NDM = 285) were enrolled. The proportion of LR was higher in DM patients (50 vs. 37.5%). In DM, PRI was not correlated with glycosylated haemoglobin (HbA1c) or glycaemia. In a univariate analysis, LR was associated with age, male sex, overweight, and white blood cell count (WBC). In a multivariate analysis, WBC >10,000 and body weight >80 kg were the sole independent predictors of LR to clopidogrel (hazard ratio (HR) 3.02 [1.36–6.68], p=0.006 and HR 2.47 [1.14–5.35], p = 0.021, respectively). Conversely, in non-DM patients, ST-elevation myocardial infarction was the sole independent predictor of LR. In conclusion, in ACS DM patients undergoing PCI, the extent of P2Y12 inhibition by clopidogrel is not related to glycaemic control but is related to body weight and inflammatory status as assessed by the WBC.

Abstract
Cardiovascular events are the major cause of morbidity and mortality in Type 2 diabetes (T2D). This condition is associated with heightened platelet reactivity, contributing to increased atherothrombotic risk. Indeed, individuals with diabetes respond inadequately to standard antiplatelet therapy. Furthermore, they often experience recurrent events as well as side effects that include excess bleeding. This highlights the need for identification of novel regulators of diabetes-associated thrombosis to target for therapeutic intervention. It is well established that platelet aggregation, a process essential for thrombus formation, is tightly regulated by shear stress; however, the mechanisms underlying shear activation of platelets, particularly in the setting of diabetes, are still poorly understood. This review will address the limitations of current diagnostic systems to assess the importance of shear stress in the regulation of thrombus formation in T2D, and the inability to recapitulate the pro-thrombotic phenotype seen clinically in the setting of T2D. Moreover, we will discuss recent findings utilizing new technologies to define the importance of shear stress in thrombus formation and their potential application to the setting of diabetes. Finally, we will discuss the potential of targeting shear-dependent mechanisms of thrombus formation as a novel therapeutic approach in the setting of T2D.

Abstract
Daily administration of low-dose aspirin has proved to be beneficial in preventing recurrent cardiovascular events. However, the role of aspirin for primary prevention in patients with no overt cardiovascular disease is more controversial. In fact, in lower risk patients, the modest benefit in reducing serious vascular events can be offset by the increased risk of bleeding, including intracranial and gastrointestinal hemorrhage. Diabetes mellitus has been associated with a substantially increased risk of both first and recurrent atherothrombotic events, which makes aspirin therapy of potential value in these subjects. Moving from general aspects of aspirin pharmacology and specific issues in diabetes mellitus, this article reviews the literature on the topic of aspirin for primary prevention in general, and in subjects with diabetes mellitus in particular, to culminate with arguments pro and con and a practical risk-based algorithm for aspirin initiation in daily practice.

[PMID: 27005817 PMCID: PMC4804508 DOI: 10.1186/s12933-016-0362-0] [Citation(s) in RCA: 19] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.4] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/28/2015] [Accepted: 03/03/2016] [Indexed: 01/26/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND The mechanisms leading to the high on-treatment platelet reactivity in diabetes patients are not fully elucidated. The genetic factors may be associated with the diminished antiplatelet efficacy of dual antiplatelet therapy. We investigated the possible association between insulin receptor substrate-1 (IRS-1) polymorphisms and high platelet reactivity in coronary artery disease (CAD) patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). METHODS A total of 674 CAD patients with T2DM were enrolled in this study. Platelet aggregation and platelet activation were assessed with light transmission aggregometry and flow cytometry analysis, respectively. Participants were divided into high platelet reactivity (HPR) group and non-HPR group according to their maximal platelet aggregation. Genotypes were identified by polymerase chain reaction and direct sequencing of genomic DNA. The association between IRS-1 genetic variants and platelet function was assessed. RESULTS There were 233 participants in the HPR group and 441 participants in the non-HPR group. G allele frequencies of rs13431554 were 27.7 % for the HPR group and 18.6 % for the non-HPR group (p < 0.001). Adenosine diphosphate and arachidonic acid induced platelet aggregation were significantly higher in G allele carriers compared with non-carriers (56.8 ± 16.2 vs 52.0 ± 17.9 %, p < 0.01, 28.9 ± 18.6 vs 25.2 ± 17.8 %, p < 0.01, respectively). We observed that P-selectin expression and PAC-1 binding were higher in G allele carriers compared with non-carriers (40.8 ± 12.4 vs 36.2 ± 13.8, p = 0.01; 43.7 ± 15.9 vs 38.7 ± 19.9, p = 0.03, respectively). CONCLUSION The G allele of rs13431554 in the IRS-1 gene was associated with a hyperreactive platelet phenotype in the CAD patients with T2DM.

Abstract
Type 2 diabetes (T2D) is associated with several abnormalities in haemostasis predisposing to thrombosis. Moreover, T2D was recently connected with a failure in antiplatelet response to clopidogrel, the most commonly used ADP receptor blocker in clinical practice. Clopidogrel high on-treatment platelet reactivity (HTPR) was repeatedly associated with the risk of ischemic adverse events. Patients with T2D show significantly higher residual platelet reactivity on ADP receptor blocker therapy and are more frequently represented in the group of patients with HTPR. This paper reviews the current knowledge about possible interactions between T2D and ADP receptor blocker therapy.

Abstract
Platelet activation plays a key role in atherothrombosis in type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and increased in vivo platelet activation with enhanced thromboxane (TX) biosynthesis has been reported in patients with impairment of glucose metabolism even in the earlier stages of disease and in the preclinical phases. In this regards, platelets appear as addresses and players carrying and transducing metabolic derangement into vascular injury. The present review critically addresses key pathophysiological aspects including (i) hyperglycemia, glycemic variability and insulin resistance as determinants and predictors of platelet activation, (ii) inflammatory mediators derived from platelets, such as soluble CD40 ligand, soluble CD36, Dickkopf-1 and probably soluble receptor for advanced glycation-end-products (sRAGE), which expand the functional repertoire of platelets from players of hemostasis and thrombosis to powerful amplifiers of inflammation by promoting the release of cytokines and chemokines, cell activation, and cell-cell interactions; (iii) molecular mechanisms underpinning the less-than-expected antithrombotic protection by aspirin (ASA), despite regular antiplatelet prophylaxis at the standard dosing regimen, and (iv) stratification of patients deserving different antiplatelet strategies, based on the metabolic phenotype. Taken together, these pathophysiological aspects may contribute to the development of promising mechanism-based therapeutic strategies to reduce the progression of atherothrombosis in diabetic subjects.

Abstract
Aims Patients with conditions that are associated with insulin resistance such as obesity, type 2 diabetes mellitus, and polycystic ovary syndrome have an increased risk of thrombosis and a concurrent hyperactive platelet phenotype. Our aim was to determine whether insulin resistance of megakaryocytes/platelets promotes platelet hyperactivation. Methods and results We generated a conditional mouse model where the insulin receptor (IR) was specifically knocked out in megakaryocytes/platelets and performed ex vivo platelet activation studies in wild-type (WT) and IR-deficient platelets by measuring aggregation, integrin αIIbβ3 activation, and dense and α-granule secretion. Deletion of IR resulted in an increase in platelet count and volume, and blocked the action of insulin on platelet signalling and function. Platelet aggregation, granule secretion, and integrin αIIbβ3 activation in response to the glycoprotein VI (GPVI) agonist collagen-related peptide (CRP) were significantly reduced in platelets lacking IR. This was accompanied by a reduction in the phosphorylation of effectors downstream of GPVI. Interestingly, loss of IR also resulted in a reduction in insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1)- and insulin-like growth factor-2 (IGF-2)-mediated phosphorylation of IRS-1, Akt, and GSK3β and priming of CRP-mediated platelet activation. Pharmacological inhibition of IR and the IGF-1 receptor in WT platelets recapitulated the platelet phenotype of IR-deficient platelets. Conclusions Deletion of IR (i) increases platelet count and volume, (ii) does not cause platelet hyperactivity, and (iii) reduces GPVI-mediated platelet function and platelet priming by IGF-1 and IGF-2.

Abstract
Although patients with impaired glucose tolerance (IGT) are at increased atherothrombotic risk, it is unclear how antiplatelet drugs act in patients with IGT. The aim of this study was to investigate the pharmacodynamic response to clopidogrel in patients with IGT and insulin resistance (IR). A 75 g oral glucose tolerance test was performed in 65 coronary artery disease (CAD) patients on aspirin and clopidogrel therapy. Platelet function tests were assessed at 3 time-points by light transmittance aggregometry using ADP (5 and 20 μmol/L) stimuli. 30 patients had IGT and 35 normal glucose tolerance (NGT). Among them, 13 patients showed IR. Following ADP stimuli, patients with IGT showed significantly higher maximal platelet aggregation at each time point than those with NGT patients. This resulted in greater high on-treatment platelet reactivity (HPR) rates at each time point in IGT patients (53.3-36.7 vs. 14.3-11.4 %, p < 0.05). A multivariable logistic regression analysis showed that IGT status was the strongest predictor of HPR (odds ratio 7.54, 95 % CI 1.95-29.1, p = 0.003). Following a glucose load, profiles of platelet reactivity varied according to IR status, with minimal changes over time in patients with IR, while there was a significant reduction in the non-IR patients. In aspirin and clopidogrel-treated patients with CAD, IGT is associated with enhanced platelet reactivity and increased rates of HPR compared with NGT patients. These findings suggest the presence of platelet dysfunction in patients with IGT, which may be attributed to the presence of IR.

Abstract
Diabetes mellitus is a global pandemic, associated with a high burden of cardiovascular disease. There are multiple platelet derangements in patients with diabetes, and antiplatelet drugs remain the first-line agents for secondary prevention as well as for high-risk primary prevention among patients with diabetes. This review provides a summary of oral antiplatelet drug hypo-responsiveness in patients with diabetes, specifically aspirin and Clopidogrel resistance. Topics discussed include antiplatelet testing, definitions used to define hypo-response and resistance, its prevalence, association with clinical outcomes and strategies to mitigate resistance. The role of prasugrel and ticagrelor, as well as investigational agents, is also discussed.

Abstract
Insulin-like peptides, such as insulin-like growth factors (IGFs) and insulin, induce a variety of bioactivities, such as growth, differentiation, survival, increased anabolism, and decreased catabolism in many cell types and in vivo. In general, IGFs or insulin bind to IGF-I receptor (IGF-IR) or insulin receptor (IR), activating the receptor tyrosine kinase. Insulin receptor substrates (IRSs) are known to be major substrates of receptor kinases, mediating IGF/insulin signals to direct bioactivities. Recently, we discovered that IRSs form high-molecular-mass complexes (referred to here as IRSomes) even without IGF/insulin stimulation. These complexes contain proteins (referred to here as IRSAPs; IRS-associated proteins), which modulate tyrosine phosphorylation of IRSs by receptor kinases, control IRS stability, and determine intracellular localization of IRSs. In addition, in these complexes, we found not only proteins that are involved in RNA metabolism but also RNAs themselves. Thus, IRSAPs possibly contribute to modulation of IGF/insulin bioactivities. Since it is established that disorder of modulation of insulin-like activities causes various age-related diseases including cancer, we could propose that the IRSome is an important target for treatment of these diseases.

Abstract
Patients with diabetes are at increased risk of cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. While arteriosclerotic lesions have long been recognized as the underlying cause more recent studies suggest that alterations of the blood are also critically involved. Following plaque rupture, adherence of platelets is followed by the formation of a cross-linked fibrin clot. Patients with diabetes exhibit a prothrombotic milieu consisting of hyper reactive platelets, a tight and rigid clot structure which is due to up-regulation of coagulation factors and prolongation of clot lysis. Metabolic alterations as well as inflammatory processes, which are up-regulated in diabetes, are thought to be the main underlying causes. More recently, the complement cascade has emerged as a potential new player in this context with several complement components directly influencing both platelet function and coagulation. This review provides an overview concerning the changes that lead to alterations of platelet function and clot structure in diabetes.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Long-term antiplatelet therapy with clopidogrel has been recommended in patients undergoing peripheral arterial procedures. Poor antiplatelet effect of clopidogrel or high on-clopidogrel platelet reactivity (HCPR) has been recently identified in patients with peripheral arterial disease (PAD). AREAS COVERED This review focuses on the use of clopidogrel and the phenomenon of HCPR in PAD patients treated for intermittent claudication or critical limb ischaemia (CLI). The authors summarize current guidelines and recommendations for use of clopidogrel following peripheral arterial procedures and explore the prevalence and clinical impact of HCPR in the PAD population. Underlying mechanisms of HCPR and relevant clinical and genetic factors are analyzed with particular attention to the potential utility of point-of-care platelet function testing (PFT). EXPERT OPINION Clopidogrel is a safe, effective and well-tolerated antiplatelet agent in PAD patients following peripheral arterial revascularization. Dual-antiplatelet therapy could also be considered after complex endovascular procedures. HCPR has been identified in more than 50% of PAD patients on clopidogrel and has been related with significantly increased re-intervention rates. Incidence of HCPR is significantly higher in patients with CLI, diabetes mellitus and chronic renal disease. Personalized antiplatelet therapy on the basis of PFT is an elegant emerging concept for optimization of platelet inhibition and potential identification of patients at increased risk of bleeding and warrants investigation in future large-scale trials.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Diabetes mellitus (DM) is a prothrombotic and proinflammatory state. Hyperglycemia (HG) is encountered even in patients without DM. We have shown that combined HG and hyperinsulinemia (HI) in healthy non-diabetic subjects increased circulating tissue factor (TF) and thrombin generation. To understand the changes in platelet and monocyte pathways induced by combined HG and HI in healthy non-diabetic state, we performed whole genome expression profiling of leukocyte-depleted platelets and monocytes before and after 24 hours of combined HG (glucose ~200mg/dL) and HI by glucose infusion clamp in a healthy non-diabetic subject. RESULTS We defined time-dependent differential mRNA expression (24 versus 0 hour fold change (FC) ≥ 2) common to platelets and monocytes. Ingenuity Pathways Analysis revealed alterations in canonical insulin receptor signaling and coagulation pathways. A preliminary group of 9 differentially expressed genes was selected for qRT-PCR confirmation. Platelet 24 hour sample was compared to the 0 hour sample plus 4 controls. Five transcripts in platelets and 6 in monocytes were confirmed. Platelet GSK3B and PTPN1 were upregulated, and STXBP4 was downregulated in insulin signaling, and F3 and TFPI were upregulated in coagulation pathways. Monocyte, PIK3C3, PTPN11 and TFPI were downregulated. Platelet GSKβ3 and PTPN11 protein and TF antigen in platelets and monocytes was increased. CONCLUSIONS Even in non-diabetic state, HG+HI for 24 hours induces changes in platelets and monocytes. They suggest downregulation of insulin signaling and upregulation of TF. Further studies are needed to elucidate cellular alterations leading to the prothrombotic and proinflammatory state in DM.

Abstract
It is implicated that diabetic patients are more resistant to aspirin therapy than patients with other diseases or healthy individuals. We evaluated the inhibitory effects of aspirin on aggregation and the cyclooxygenase activity of platelets of 10 patients with severe type-2 diabetes mellitis (DM) and compared the results with those of healthy individuals. Although platelet aggregation had a tendency to be more resistant to aspirin with the DM group, there was no significant difference in half maximal inhibitory concentration 50 values of aspirin on the cyclooxygenase activity between the patients with DM and healthy individuals. Thus, the residual platelet aggregability uninhibited by aspirin appears to be independent of the cyclooxygenase activity. Since adenosine diphosphate (ADP) receptor blocking almost completely inhibited the residual platelet aggregability, it is suggested that hyperreactivity to ADP is more prevalent in patients with DM.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To determine whether dysregulation of platelet signaling mechanisms contributes to the increased risk of thrombosis associated with diabetes, using a type I diabetes mouse model. METHODS AND RESULTS Type I diabetes was induced in C57Bl6 mice following streptozotocin injection. Arterial thrombosis, platelet signaling and function were assessed 4 weeks later in comparison with non-diabetic control mice. Fifty-seven per cent of diabetic mice (glucose level of > 250 mg dL(-1) ) developed stable occlusive thrombi after FeCl3 injury, as compared with 5% of their non-diabetic counterparts, suggesting that diabetic mice are more sensitive to arterial injury (P ≤ 0.02). Platelets from diabetic mice were more sensitive to protease-activated receptor 4 (PAR4) agonist-induced fibrinogen binding than platelets from non-diabetic mice, and the average Akt phosphorylation induced by PAR4 agonist peptide was greater (P ≤ 0.01) in platelets from diabetic mice. Recent studies suggest that insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF-1) potentiates Akt phosphorylation in platelets. To determine whether IGF-1 signaling contributes to the increase in PAR4 sensitivity in platelets from diabetic mice, platelet signaling and function were evaluated in the presence of inhibitors of the IGF-1 receptor. IGF-1 receptor inhibition reduced Akt phosphorylation and fibrinogen binding in platelets from diabetic mice to levels consistent with those seen in normoglycemic platelets, but had no significant effect on platelets from non-diabetic mice. CONCLUSIONS The results suggest that platelets from mice with streptozotocin-induced diabetes show enhanced platelet Akt phosphorylation and activity resulting from IGF-1-dependent mechanisms. Increases in platelet Akt activation may explain the enhanced sensitivity to thrombotic insult seen in diabetic mice.

Abstract
The relation between high on-treatment platelet reactivity (HPR), and the level of glucose intolerance and insulin resistance (IR) was studied in clopidogrel-treated patients with minor ischemic stroke or TIA. The cohort consisted of 66 patients, 11 of which had known type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM). Platelet aggregation in whole blood (Multiplate™) and metabolic variables were measured 1 month after acute onset of neurological symptoms. Glucose tolerance was measured by Oral Glucose Tolerance Test (OGTT). IR was estimated by homeostasis model assessment HOMA-IR. Patients were categorized as "responders" (R) or "non-responders" (NR) to clopidogrel according to an established cut-off in platelet aggregation induced by adenosine diphosphate (ADP). In total, 14/66 (21%) patients were NR. Impaired glucose tolerance (IGT), impaired fasting glucose (IFG) or DM was seen in 13/14 NR (93%), while for R this was the case in 25/52 (48%), p = 0.001. The percentage of NR was 33% in patients with DM and 35% in patients with IGT or IFG. In the group with normal glucose tolerance (NGT) the percentage of NR was low, 4% (1/28). Fasting plasma glucose (f-PG) was higher for NR than for R, 6.0 (5.5-6.7) mM vs. 5.3 (5.0-6.0) mM, p = 0.023. Glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) did not differ between NR and R. NR also had higher arachidonic acid-induced platelet aggregation than R, and a tendency towards higher aggregation induced by thrombin receptor agonist peptide (TRAP), indicating that HPR reflects a global platelet hyper-reactivity. HOMA-IR was calculated for 52 of the patients above without known diabetes, 9 of which were NR (17%). NR were significantly more insulin resistant than R, with median HOMA-IR 4.5 (3.0-7.4) compared to 2.1 (1.5-3.2) for R, p = 0.001. HOMA-IR and fasting plasma insulin were the only metabolic variables with significant relationships to ADP-induced platelet aggregation. The results suggest that HPR develops in the pre-diabetic phase. A metabolic disturbance with glucose intolerance and/or high level of IR was a pre-requisite for HPR in the tested cohort. Conversely, normal glucose tolerance combined with normal or mildly elevated HOMA-IR excluded HPR. NR are likely to constitute a high-risk group among patients with ischemic cerebrovascular disease. Measurement of f-PG or HbA1c is insufficient to identify NR, while OGTT and HOMA-IR are more predictive.

Abstract
Postprandial hyperglycemia is associated with platelet activation. We thus investigated if meal-induced platelet activation could be attenuated by meal insulin. A randomized, double-blind, cross-over study was performed to compare postprandial platelet activation after premeal injections of placebo or insulin aspart (0.1 and 0.2 units/kg) in 18 patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). Platelet activation was assessed by flow cytometry, without and with stimulation by the thromboxane analog U46619 or ADP. Measurements were before and after premeal blood glucose standardization (to 6-7 mmol/L by insulin infusion, if needed) and at 90 min after the meal. Premeal insulin reduced postprandial hyperglycemia by 2-3 mmol/L compared with placebo. Postmeal insulin levels were doubled with placebo and further elevated with insulin injections. The standardized meal enhanced U46619-induced platelet P-selectin expression by 23% after placebo; this response was more than doubled after premeal insulin. U46619-induced fibrinogen binding was unchanged after meal intake with placebo but was markedly enhanced (by ~50-60%) after premeal insulin. Postprandial platelet activation correlated positively to postprandial insulin levels and inversely to glucose levels. Premeal insulin infusion was also associated with platelet activation. Our results suggest that postprandial insulin rather than glucose accounts for postprandial platelet activation in T2DM patients.

Abstract
Patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) have impaired clopidogrel-induced antiplatelet effects, which may be in part attributed to their reduced sensitivity to insulin and consequently, results in upregulation of the P2Y12 signalling pathway. It has been hypothesised that insulin sensitising strategies may enhance clopidogrel-mediated P2Y12 inhibitory effects. The aim of this pilot pharmacodynamics (PD) study was to assess the impact of pioglitazone on clopidogrel-mediated P2Y12 inhibitory effects in patients with T2DM. This was a prospective, randomised, double-blind, placebo-controlled, cross-over PD study. Patients with T2DM and stable coronary artery disease on maintenance aspirin and clopidogrel were randomised to receive either pioglitazone 30 mg or matching placebo daily for 14 days. PD assessments were measured at baseline, 14 days after randomisation, at the end of the wash-out period, and 14 days after cross-over. The primary endpoint measure was maximal platelet aggregation (MPA) to 20 μM adenosine diphosphate (ADP) as assessed by light transmittance aggregometry (LTA). Flow cytometric analysis of vasodilator-stimulated phosphoprotein phosphorylation (VASP-PRI), and VerifyNow P2Y12 testing were also performed. A total of 15 randomised patients completed the study. MPA to 20 μM ADP (primary endpoint) was not significantly different with pioglitazone compared with placebo (49.53 ± 4.76 vs. 52.52 ± 3.89%; p = 0.594). Similarly, other PD measures did not differ significantly between the groups. In conclusion, in patients with T2DM on maintenance aspirin and clopidogrel therapy, the adjunctive use of pioglitazone does not result in enhanced inhibition of platelet P2Y12 mediated signalling.

Abstract
BACKGROUND In normal platelets, insulin inhibits agonist-induced Ca(2+) mobilization by raising cyclic AMP. Platelet from patients with type 2 diabetes are resistant to insulin and show increased Ca(2+) mobilization, aggregation and procoagulant activity. We searched for the cause of this insulin resistance. DESIGN AND METHODS Platelets, the megakaryocytic cell line CHRF-288-11 and primary megakaryocytes were incubated with adipokines and with plasma from individuals with a disturbed adipokine profile. Thrombin-induced Ca(2+) mobilization and signaling through the insulin receptor and insulin receptor substrate 1 were measured. Abnormalities induced by adipokines were compared with abnormalities found in platelets from patients with type 2 diabetes. RESULTS Resistin, leptin, plasminogen activator inhibitor-1 and retinol binding protein 4 left platelets unchanged but induced insulin resistance in CHRF-288-11 cells. Interleukin-6, tumor necrosis factor-α and visfatin had no effect. These results were confirmed in primary megakaryocytes. Contact with adipokines for 2 hours disturbed insulin receptor substrate 1 Ser(307)-phosphorylation, while contact for 72 hours caused insulin receptor substrate 1 degradation. Plasma with a disturbed adipokine profile also made CHRF-288-11 cells insulin-resistant. Platelets from patients with type 2 diabetes showed decreased insulin receptor substrate 1 expression. CONCLUSIONS Adipokines resistin, leptin, plasminogen activator-1 and retinol binding protein 4 disturb insulin receptor substrate 1 activity and expression in megakaryocytes. This might be a cause of the insulin resistance observed in platelets from patients with type 2 diabetes.

Abstract
The metabolic syndrome is a clinical disorder characterized by impairment of glucose metabolism, increased arterial blood pressure, and abdominal obesity. The presence of these clinical features exposes patients to a high risk of atherothrombotic cardiovascular events. The pathogenesis of atherothrombosis in the metabolic syndrome is multifactorial, requiring a close relationship among the main components of the metabolic syndrome, including insulin resistance, alterations of glycaemic and lipid pattern, haemodynamic impairment, and early appearance of endothelial dysfunction. Furthermore, haemostatic alterations involving coagulation balance, fibrinolysis, and platelet function play a relevant role both in the progression of the arterial wall damage and in acute vascular events. The mechanisms linking abdominal obesity with prothrombotic changes in the metabolic syndrome have been identified and partially elucidated on the basis of alterations of each haemostatic variable and defined through the evidence of peculiar dysfunctions in the endocrine activity of adipose tissue responsible of vascular impairment, prothrombotic tendency, and low-grade chronic inflammation. This paper will focus on the direct role of adipose tissue on prothrombotic tendency in patients affected by metabolic syndrome, with adipocytes being able to produce and/or release cytokines and adipokines which deeply influence haemostatic/fibrinolytic balance, platelet function, and proinflammatory state.

Abstract
Atherothrombosis is the leading cause of morbidity and mortality in patients with diabetes mellitus. Several mechanisms contribute to the diabetic prothrombotic state, including endothelial dysfunction, coagulative activation and platelet hyper-reactivity. In particular, diabetic platelets are characterised by dysregulation of several signaling pathways leading to enhanced adhesion, activation and aggregation. These alterations result from the interaction among hyperglycemia, insulin resistance, inflammation and oxidative stress. This review will provide an overview of the current status of knowledge on mechanisms of accelerated atherothrombosis in patients with diabetes mellitus.

Abstract
Background We have shown that 1,2,3,4,6-penta-O-galloyl-α-D-glucopyranose (α-PGG), an orally effective hypoglycemic small molecule, binds to insulin receptors and activates insulin-mediated glucose transport. Insulin has been shown to bind to its receptors on platelets and inhibit platelet activation. In this study we tested our hypothesis that if insulin possesses anti-platelet properties then insulin mimetic small molecules should mimic antiplatelet actions of insulin. Principal Findings Incubation of human platelets with insulin or α-PGG induced phosphorylation of insulin receptors and IRS-1 and blocked ADP or collagen induced aggregation. Pre-treatment of platelets with α-PGG inhibited thrombin-induced release of P-selectin, secretion of ATP and aggregation. Addition of ADP or thrombin to platelets significantly decreased the basal cyclic AMP levels. Pre-incubation of platelets with α-PGG blocked ADP or thrombin induced decrease in platelet cyclic AMP levels but did not alter the basal or PGE1 induced increase in cAMP levels. Addition of α-PGG to platelets blocked agonist induced rise in platelet cytosolic calcium and phosphorylation of Akt. Administration of α-PGG (20 mg kg−1) to wild type mice blocked ex vivo platelet aggregation induced by ADP or collagen. Conclusions These data suggest that α-PGG inhibits platelet activation, at least in part, by inducing phosphorylation of insulin receptors leading to inhibition of agonist induced: (a) decrease in cyclic AMP; (b) rise in cytosolic calcium; and (c) phosphorylation of Akt. These findings taken together with our earlier reports that α-PGG mimics insulin signaling suggest that inhibition of platelet activation by α-PGG mimics antiplatelet actions of insulin.

Abstract
The addition of clopidogrel to aspirin for patients undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) had significantly reduced cardiovascular events. However, despite dual antiplatelet therapy ischaemic events still occur, especially stent thrombosis, which is associated with a high mortality rate. Inter-individual response to clopidogrel is highly variable. It was shown that 4-46% could be considered as high on treatment platelet reactivity (HTPR). Recent studies had demonstrated a relationship between HTPR and ischaemic events in the setting of PCI. Actually the assessment of platelet reactivity in routine practice and its interpretation to make a decision is a debatable issue.

Abstract
Akt (also known as protein kinase B or PKB) comprises three closely related isoforms Akt1, Akt2 and Akt3 (or PKBα/β/γ respectively). We have a very good understanding of the mechanisms by which Akt isoforms are activated by growth factors and other extracellular stimuli as well as by oncogenic mutations in key upstream regulatory proteins including Ras, PI3-kinase subunits and PTEN. There are also an ever increasing number of Akt substrates being identified that play a role in the regulation of the diverse array of biological effects of activated Akt; this includes the regulation of cell proliferation, survival and metabolism. Dysregulation of Akt leads to diseases of major unmet medical need such as cancer, diabetes, cardiovascular and neurological diseases. As a result there has been substantial investment in the development of small molecular Akt inhibitors that act competitively with ATP or phospholipid binding, or allosterically. In this review we will briefly discuss our current understanding of how Akt isoforms are regulated, the substrate proteins they phosphorylate and how this integrates with the role of Akt in disease. We will furthermore discuss the types of Akt inhibitors that have been developed and are in clinical trials for human cancer, as well as speculate on potential on-target toxicities, such as disturbances of heart and vascular function, metabolism, memory and mood, which should be monitored very carefully during clinical trial.
