Abstract
Autoimmune diseases are pathological autoimmune reactions in the body caused by various factors, which can lead to tissue damage and organ dysfunction. They can be divided into organ-specific and systemic autoimmune diseases. These diseases usually involve various body systems, including the blood, muscles, bones, joints and soft tissues. The transient receptor potential (TRP) and PIEZO receptors, which resulted in David Julius and Ardem Patapoutian winning the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine in 2021, attracted people's attention. Most current studies on TRP and PIEZO receptors in autoimmune diseases have been carried out on animal model, only few clinical studies have been conducted. Therefore, this study aimed to review existing studies on TRP and PIEZO to understand the roles of these receptors in autoimmune diseases, which may help elucidate novel treatment strategies.

Ahmad A, Sabbour H. Effectiveness and safety of the combination of sodium-glucose transport protein 2 inhibitors and glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus: a systematic review and meta-analysis of observational studies. Cardiovasc Diabetol 2024; 23:99. [PMID: 38500154 PMCID: PMC10949729 DOI: 10.1186/s12933-024-02192-4] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/27/2023] [Accepted: 03/06/2024] [Indexed: 03/20/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Randomized controlled trials and real-world studies suggest that combination therapy with sodium-glucose transport protein 2 inhibitors (SGLT2is) and glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1RAs) is associated with improvement in fasting plasma glucose (FPG), glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c), systolic blood pressure (SBP), body mass index (BMI), and total cholesterol levels. However, a systematic review of available real-world evidence may facilitate clinical decision-making in the real-world scenario. This meta-analysis assessed the safety and effectiveness of combinations of SGLT2is + GLP-1RAs with a focus on their cardioprotective effects along with glucose-lowering ability in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) in a real-world setting. METHODS Electronic searches were performed in the PubMed/MEDLINE, PROQuest, Scopus, CINAHL, and Google Scholar databases. Qualitative analyses and meta-analyses were performed using the Joanna Briggs Institute SUMARI software package and Review Manager v5.4, respectively. RESULTS The initial database search yielded 1445 articles; of these, 13 were included in this study. The analyses indicated that SGLT2is + GLP-1RAs combinations were associated with significantly lower all-cause mortality when compared with individual therapies (odds ratio [95% confidence interval [CI] 0.49 [0.41, 0.60]; p < 0.00001). Significant reductions in BMI (- 1.71 [- 2.74, - 0.67]; p = 0.001), SBP (- 6.35 [- 10.17, - 2.53]; p = 0.001), HbA1c levels (- 1.48 [- 1.75, - 1.21]; p < 0.00001), and FPG (- 2.27 [- 2.78, - 1.76]; p < 0.00001) were associated with the simultaneous administration of the combination. Changes in total cholesterol levels and differences between simultaneous and sequential combination therapies for this outcome were not significant. CONCLUSION This systematic review and meta-analysis based on real-world data suggests that the combination of SGLT2is + GLP-1RAs is associated with lower all-cause mortality and favorable improvements in cardiovascular, renal, and glycemic measurements. The findings drive a call-to-action to incorporate this combination early and simultaneously in managing T2DM patients and achieve potential cardiovascular benefits and renal protection.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Including pharmacists on care teams of patients with type 2 diabetes (T2D) has been shown to promote guideline-based prescribing and improve glycemic control, lowering risks of adverse cardiovascular outcomes. Evidence is lacking regarding whether including pharmacists on the care team is associated with the prescribing of GLP-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1 RA) and SGLT-2 inhibitors (SGLT-2i) recommended for use in patients with T2D and atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD). OBJECTIVE To assess the association between having a pharmacist on the primary care team of patients with T2D and ASCVD and being prescribed a guideline-recommended GLP-1 RA or SGLT-2i. METHODS A cross-sectional analysis of patients with T2D and ASCVD seen by primary care providers at an academic medical center between June 2019 and May 2020 was completed. Patients with prescriptions for GLP-1 RA or SGLT-2i with evidence of cardiovascular benefit were identified and compared between those with pharmacist care vs usual care using multivariable log-binominal regression analyses. RESULTS Of 1,497 included patients, 1,283 (85.7%) were in the usual care group (mean age 68.9 years, hemoglobin A1c 7.6%) and 214 (14.3%) in the pharmacist care group (mean age 64.5 years, A1c 9.0%). Of the pharmacist care group, 50.5% were prescribed a GLP-1 RA or SGLT-2i with cardiovascular benefit vs 17.9% in the usual care group (P < 0.001). In multivariable analyses controlling for A1c and other potential confounders, those in the pharmacist care group were 2.15 times as likely to have been prescribed a GLP-1 RA or SGLT-2i than those in the usual care group (adjusted risk ratio 2.15, 95% CI = 1.83-2.52; P < 0.001). CONCLUSIONS These data provide preliminary evidence that integrating pharmacists into patient care teams is associated with increased prescribing of guideline-recommended treatment with GLP-1 RA and SGLT-2i in patients with T2D and ASCVD, yet there is room for improvement in prescribing these agents to patients with T2D and ASCVD.

Abstract
The editorial discusses the beneficial effects of sodium-glucose cotransporter-2 (SGLT-2) inhibitors in patients with diabetic nephropathy and their underutilization in government hospitals in India for the treatment of diabetic nephropathy. The authors provide a comprehensive analysis of various factors contributing to the under-prescription of these medications, including lack of awareness and education among healthcare professionals, limited availability and accessibility of medications, high cost, and poor adherence to evidence-based guidelines. Addressing these factors through education, research, and affordable pricing and reimbursement policies may help improve the appropriate prescription of SGLT-2 inhibitors in government hospitals in India.

The Possible Effect of the Long-Term Use of Glucagon-like Peptide-1 Receptor Agonists (GLP-1RA) on Hba1c and Lipid Profile in Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus: A Retrospective Study in KAUH, Jeddah, Saudi Arabia. Diseases 2023; 11:diseases11010050. [PMID: 36975599 PMCID: PMC10046996 DOI: 10.3390/diseases11010050] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/05/2023] [Revised: 03/01/2023] [Accepted: 03/03/2023] [Indexed: 03/17/2023] Open
Abstract
(1) Background: Type 2 diabetes (T2DM) is a chronic metabolic disease with serious health complications. T2DM is associated with many chronic illnesses, including kidney failure, cardiovascular diseases (CVD), vision loss, and other related diseases. Obesity is one of the major factors associated with insulin resistance and dyslipidemia. Recently, the development of GLP-1 Receptor agonist (GLP-1RA) showed great therapeutic potential for T2DM. Aim: To retrospectively investigate the association of the long-term use of GLP-1RA therapy in T2DM patients with HbA1c levels and dyslipidemia. (2) Methods: Retrospective data collection and analysis of demographic, clinical records, and biochemical parameters were carried out for 72 T2DM taking GLP-1RA treatments for six months. (3) Results: A total of 72 T2DM patients with a mean age = 55 (28 male and 44 female) were divided into two groups. Group 1 received statins (n = 63), and group 2 did not receive statins (n = 9). The GLP-1RA effect on BMI was significantly decreased in group 1 (p < 0.01). A significant effect was observed for HbA1c in both groups for six months of treatment duration (p < 0.05). The AST levels significantly decreased in group 2 from 25.2 to 19.4 U\L (p = 0.011). (4) Conclusions: GLP-1RA treatments were associated with weight reduction and improved glycemic control for T2DM patients. Moreover, it is suggested that it has anti-inflammatory and hepatoprotective effects. However, no direct association was found with the lipid profile in all groups of T2DM.

SGLT2 Inhibitors: The Next Blockbuster Multifaceted Drug? MEDICINA (KAUNAS, LITHUANIA) 2023; 59:medicina59020388. [PMID: 36837589 PMCID: PMC9964903 DOI: 10.3390/medicina59020388] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/12/2023] [Revised: 02/09/2023] [Accepted: 02/13/2023] [Indexed: 02/19/2023]
Abstract
Sodium glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitor (SGLT2i) is a class of drugs that were originally intended for decreasing blood glucose in diabetes. However, recent trials have shown that there are other beneficial effects. Major clinical trials involving SGLT2i medications from 2015 to 2022 were reviewed using PUBMED search. Recent major SGLT2i landmark trials have demonstrated benefits for cardiovascular disease (reduce major adverse cardiovascular events (heart attack, stroke, cardiovascular death), hospitalization for heart failure, all-cause death), and renal disease (delay the onset of dialysis) regardless of diabetic status. The consistent cardiorenal benefits observed in major landmark trials have resulted in the rapid adoption of SGLT2i therapy not only in diabetes guidelines but also cardiovascular and renal guidelines.
