Abstract
BACKGROUND It is unclear whether hydroxymethylglutaryl-CoA reductase inhibitor (statin) therapy decreases the risk of mortality and cardiovascular disease (CVD) in patients undergoing peritoneal dialysis (PD). METHODS We performed a literature search of PubMed, Cochrane Library, Embase, and other databases for research publications up to June 2022. The outcomes of interest were fatal and nonfatal CVDs, all-cause mortality, and changes in the biochemical profiles. Hazard ratios (HRs) with 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were pooled and synthesized using a random-effects model. The certainty of the evidence was determined using Grading of Recommendations, Assessment, Development, and Evaluation. RESULTS Nine studies, including 2,933 patients undergoing PD, were included. Among them, three studies, including 2,099 patients, reported all-cause mortality, and three, including 1,571 patients, reported CVDs. In these patients, pooling results of two observational studies (very low-certainty evidence) showed that statin therapy significantly reduced CVDs (HR = 0.67; 95% CI = 0.54-0.84; p = 0.0004). Moreover, statin therapy was associated with significantly reduced low-density lipoprotein cholesterol, total cholesterol, and C-reactive protein levels (very low certainty of evidence). However, the effects of statin therapy on triglyceride, high-density lipoprotein, and albumin levels were not statistically significant. CONCLUSION Although statin therapy was associated with significantly reduced low-density lipoprotein cholesterol, total cholesterol, and C-reactive protein levels, the probable beneficial effect of statins on CVD risk in patients undergoing PD could not be concluded firmly. Additional high-quality studies are required to assess the potential beneficial effects of statin therapy in PD patients.

Antithrombotic therapies in aortic and peripheral arterial diseases in 2021: a consensus document from the ESC working group on aorta and peripheral vascular diseases, the ESC working group on thrombosis, and the ESC working group on cardiovascular pharmacotherapy. Eur Heart J 2021; 42:4013-4024. [PMID: 34279602 DOI: 10.1093/eurheartj/ehab390] [Citation(s) in RCA: 63] [Impact Index Per Article: 21.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/27/2021] [Revised: 04/27/2021] [Accepted: 06/03/2021] [Indexed: 12/24/2022] Open
Abstract
The aim of this collaborative document is to provide an update for clinicians on best antithrombotic strategies in patients with aortic and/or peripheral arterial diseases. Antithrombotic therapy is a pillar of optimal medical treatment for these patients at very high cardiovascular risk. While the number of trials on antithrombotic therapies in patients with aortic or peripheral arterial diseases is substantially smaller than for those with coronary artery disease, recent evidence deserves to be incorporated into clinical practice. In the absence of specific indications for chronic oral anticoagulation due to concomitant cardiovascular disease, a single antiplatelet agent is the basis for long-term antithrombotic treatment in patients with aortic or peripheral arterial diseases. Its association with another antiplatelet agent or low-dose anticoagulants will be discussed, based on patient's ischaemic and bleeding risk as well therapeutic paths (e.g. endovascular therapy). This consensus document aims to provide a guidance for antithrombotic therapy according to arterial disease localizations and clinical presentation. However, it cannot substitute multidisciplinary team discussions, which are particularly important in patients with uncertain ischaemic/bleeding balance. Importantly, since this balance evolves over time in an individual patient, a regular reassessment of the antithrombotic therapy is of paramount importance.

Kidney Blood Press Res 2018; 43:206-219. [PMID: 29490300 DOI: 10.1159/000487673] [Citation(s) in RCA: 30] [Impact Index Per Article: 5.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/20/2017] [Accepted: 02/15/2018] [Indexed: 11/19/2022] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND/AIMS Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is often accompanied by hyperlipidemia, which accelerates progression of the disease. Podocyte injury can lead to dysfunction of the glomerular filtration barrier, which is associated with proteinuria, a risk marker for the progression of CKD. Our previous studies demonstrated that palmitic acid (PA) can induce podocyte apoptosis; however, the underlying mechanisms are unclear. In the present study, we investigated the specific molecular mechanisms of PA-induced apoptosis in cultured podocytes. METHODS We cultured mouse podocytes and treated them with PA. Then, cell viability was measured using the Cell Counting Kit-8 colorimetric assay, lipid uptake was assessed by Oil Red O staining and boron-dipyrromethene staining, apoptosis was measured by flow cytometry, mitochondrial injury was assessed by JC-1 staining and transmission electron microscopy, and mitochondrial production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) was evaluated by fluorescence microscopy using the MitoSOX Red reagent. The effects of PA on the mitochondria-mediated caspase activation pathway were investigated by examining the expression of caspase-8, cleaved caspase-9, cleaved caspase-3, cleaved poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP), B-cell lymphoma 2 (Bcl-2), Bax, Bid, cytochrome c, and Fas-associated protein with death domain (FADD) using western blotting. The translocation of Bax and cytochrome c were detected by immunofluorescence. RESULTS PA treatment significantly increased lipid accumulation and induced podocyte apoptosis. We investigated whether the two primary apoptosis signaling pathways (death receptor-mediated pathway and mitochondria-mediated pathway) were involved in the execution of PA-induced podocyte apoptosis, and found that the levels of FADD, caspase-8, and Bid did not significantly change during this process. Meanwhile, PA treatment induced an increase in Bax protein expression and a decrease in Bcl-2 protein expression, with Bax translocation to the mitochondria. Furthermore, PA treatment induced mitochondrial impairment, and triggered the release of cytochrome c from the mitochondria to cytosol, with a concomitant dose-dependent increase in the levels of cleaved caspase-9, cleaved caspase-3, and PARP. Meanwhile, PA treatment increased mitochondrial production of ROS, and the mitochondria-targeted antioxidant mitoTEMPO significantly ameliorated PA-induced podocyte apoptosis. CONCLUSION Our findings indicated that PA induced caspase-dependent podocyte apoptosis through the mitochondrial pathway, and mitochondrial ROS production participated in this process, thus potentially contributing to podocyte injury.
