Effect of SGLT2 inhibitors on fractures, BMD, and bone metabolism markers in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus: a systematic review and meta-analysis. Osteoporos Int 2023; 34:2013-2025. [PMID: 37695339 DOI: 10.1007/s00198-023-06908-2] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/14/2023] [Accepted: 09/01/2023] [Indexed: 09/12/2023]
Abstract
This meta-analysis aims to evaluate the impact of Sodium Glucose Transporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitors on fractures, bone mineral density (BMD), and bone metabolism markers in type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) patients. Pooled relative risk (RR) with 95% confidence interval (CI) assessed the relationship between SGLT2 inhibitors and fracture risk. Weighted mean difference (WMD) with 95% CI explored the correlation between SGLT2 inhibitors and BMD, as well as bone metabolism markers. A total of 20 randomised controlled trials (RCTs) involving 12,764 patients were analysed. No significant association emerged between SGLT2 inhibitor use and elevated fracture risk (pooled RR = 1.21, 95% CI [0.95, 1.54], I2 = 22%). Furthermore, SGLT2 inhibitors exhibited no substantial effects on BMD changes at the lumbar spine (WMD = -0.02, 95% CI [-0.38, 0.34]), femoral neck (WMD = 0.11, 95% CI [-0.28, 0.50]), total hip (WMD = -0.20, 95% CI [-0.41, 0.01]), and distal forearm (WMD = -0.20, 95% CI [-0.62, 0.22]). Similarly, no notable impact of SGLT2 inhibitors on bone metabolism markers, including CTX (WMD = 0.04, 95% CI [-0.02, 0.09]), P1NP (WMD = 1.06, 95% CI [-0.44, 2.57]), PTH (WMD = 0.34, 95% CI [-0.07, 0.75]), calcium (WMD = 0.01, 95% CI [-0.02, 0.04]), and phosphate (WMD = 2.37, 95% CI [-0.76, 5.49]). The findings suggest that the utilization of SGLT2 inhibitors is not significantly linked to an elevated risk of fractures in individuals with T2DM. However, further clinical investigations and extended follow-up periods are warranted to establish more conclusive determinations.

Yang T, Zhang D. Research progress on the effects of novel hypoglycemic drugs in diabetes combined with myocardial ischemia/reperfusion injury. Ageing Res Rev 2023; 86:101884. [PMID: 36801379 DOI: 10.1016/j.arr.2023.101884] [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: 11/17/2022] [Revised: 02/08/2023] [Accepted: 02/14/2023] [Indexed: 02/18/2023]
Abstract
Acute myocardial infarction (AMI) reperfusion is associated with ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury, which leads to enlarged myocardial infarction size, poor healing of the infarcted myocardium, and poor left ventricular remodeling, thus increasing the risk of major adverse cardiovascular events (MACEs). Diabetes increases myocardial susceptibility to I/R injury, decreases myocardial responsiveness to cardioprotective strategies, exacerbates myocardial I/R injury, and expands the infarct size of AMI, thereby increasing the incidence of malignant arrhythmias and heart failure. Currently, evidence regarding pharmacological interventions for diabetes combined with AMI and I/R injury is lacking. Traditional hypoglycemic drugs have a limited role in the prevention and treatment of diabetes combined with I/R injury. Current evidence suggests that novel hypoglycemic drugs may exert a preventive effect on diabetes combined with myocardial I/R injury, especially glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1 RA) and sodium-dependent glucose transporter protein 2 inhibitors (SGLT2i), which may increase coronary blood flow, reduce acute thrombosis, attenuate I/R injury, decrease myocardial infarction size, inhibit structural and functional remodeling of the ischemic heart, improve cardiac function, and reduce the occurrence of MACEs of diabetes patients combined with AMI via mechanisms such as reduction of inflammatory response, inhibition of oxidative stress, and improvement of vascular endothelial function. This paper will systematically elaborate the protective role and molecular mechanisms of GLP-1 RA and SGLT2i in diabetes combined with myocardial I/R injury, aiming to provide clinical assistance.

Abstract
Sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitors are a new class of antidiabetic drugs, acting by inhibiting the reabsorption of glucose in the kidneys. They turned out to improve cardiovascular and renal outcomes not only in patients with type 2 diabetes but also in nondiabetic patients. At present, they are more and more widely used in patients without diabetes. Since there were concerns that SGLT2 inhibitors may increase fracture risk in diabetes, the aim of the study was to examine the effect of dapagliflozin and canagliflozin on the musculoskeletal system of nondiabetic, healthy rats. The experiments were carried out on mature female rats, divided into the control rats and rats treated with dapagliflozin (1.4 mg/kg p.o.) or canagliflozin (4.2 mg/kg p.o.) for 4 weeks. Serum bone turnover markers, skeletal muscle strength and mass, bone mass, density, histomorphometric parameters and mechanical properties were determined. Administration of the drugs did not affect the skeletal muscle mass and strength. There was no effect on serum bone turnover markers, and bone mass and composition. However, administration of both drugs resulted in disorders of cancellous bone microarchitecture and worsening of bone mechanical properties. In conclusion, both SGLT2 inhibitors unfavorably affected the skeletal system of healthy rats.

Abstract
Background Sodium-glucose co-transporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitors has been shown with cardiovascular benefit in type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) patients. However, its osmotic diuresis still concern physicians who may look for possible electrolyte imbalance. We therefore aimed to investigate electrocardiographic (ECG) changes associated with SGLT2 inhibitors. Methods Electronic medical records from Chang Gung Research Database between January 1, 2001 and January 31, 2019 were searched for patients with ECG reports and patients on an oral hypoglycemic agent (OHA). We then separate these T2DM patients with EKG into those taking either SGLT2 inhibitors or non-SGLT2 inhibitors. We excluded patients with OHA use <28 days, age <18 years, baseline ECG QTc > 500 ms, and ECG showing atrial fibrillation or atrial flutter. Propensity score matching (PSM) was performed between groups by age, sex, comorbidities, and medications (including QT prolonging medications). Conditional logistic regression and Firth's logistic regression for rare events were employed to compare the difference between SGLT2 and non-SGLT2 inhibitor patients. Results After exclusion criteria and PSM, there remained 1,056 patients with ECG on SGLT2 inhibitors and 2,119 patients with ECG on non-SGLT2 inhibitors in the study. There were no differences in PR intervals, QT prolongations by Bazett's or Fridericia's formulas, new onset ST-T changes, new onset CRBBB or CLBBB, and ventricular arrhythmia between the group of patients on SGLT2 inhibitors and the group of patients on non-SGLT2 inhibitors. There were no differences between the two groups in terms of cardiovascular death and sudden cardiac death. In addition, there were no differences between the two groups in terms of electrolytes. Conclusions Compared with T2DM patients on non-SGLT2 inhibitors, there were no differences in PR interval, QT interval, ST-T changes, bundle-branch block, or ventricular arrhythmia in the patients on SGLT2 inhibitors. There were no differences in cardiovascular mortality between these two groups. In addition, there were no electrolyte differences between groups. SGLT2 inhibitors appeared to be well-tolerated in terms of cardiovascular safety.

Abstract
Sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 (SGLT-2) inhibitors (gliflozins) represent the most recently approved class of oral antidiabetic drugs. SGLT-2 overexpression in diabetic patients contributes significantly to hyperglycemia and related complications. Therefore, SGLT-2 became a highly interesting therapeutic target, culminating in the approval for clinical use of dapagliflozin and analogues in the past decade. Gliflozins improve glycemic control through a novel insulin-independent mechanism of action and, moreover, exhibit significant cardiorenal protective effects in both diabetic and nondiabetic subjects. Therefore, gliflozins have received increasing attention, prompting extensive structure-activity relationship studies and optimization approaches. The discovery that intestinal SGLT-1 inhibition can provide a novel opportunity to control hyperglycemia, through a multifactorial mechanism, recently encouraged the design of low adsorbable inhibitors selectively directed to the intestinal SGLT-1 subtype as well as of dual SGLT-1/SGLT-2 inhibitors, representing a compelling strategy to identify new antidiabetic drug candidates.

Abstract
Atrial fibrillation, the most common cardiac arrhythmia, results in substantial morbidity and mortality related to its increased risks of stroke, heart failure, and impaired cognitive function. The incidence and prevalence of atrial fibrillation in the general population is rising, making atrial fibrillation treatment and management of its risk factors highly relevant clinical targets. One well-studied risk factor for the development of atrial fibrillation is diabetes mellitus. Inhibitors of sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 (SGLT2), common medications used to treat diabetes mellitus, have been observed to decrease the incidence of atrial fibrillation. This review discusses the SGLT2 and its role in glucose homeostasis, molecules inhibiting the transporter, possible physiological mechanisms responsible for the decreased incident atrial fibrillation in patients treated with SGLT2 inhibitors and proposes mechanistic studies to further our understanding of the biological processes involved.

Abstract
BackgroundHeart failure with improved left ventricular ejection fraction (HFiEF) is linked to a good clinical outcome. The purpose of this study was to create an easy-to-use model to predict the occurrence of HFiEF in patients with heart failure (HF), 1 year after successful percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) for chronic total occlusion (CTO) (CTO PCI).MethodsPatients diagnosed with HF who successfully underwent CTO PCI between January 2016 and August 2019 were included. To mitigate the effect of residual stenosis on left ventricular (LV) function, we excluded patients with severe residual stenosis, as quantitatively measured by a residual synergy between PCI with Taxus and Cardiac Surgery score (rSS) of >8. We gathered demographic data, medical history, angiographic and procedural characteristics, echocardiographic parameters, laboratory results, and medication information. The least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO) and multivariate logistic regression models were used to identify predictors of HFiEF 1 year after CTO revascularization. A nomogram was established and validated according to the area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC) and calibration curves. Internal validation was performed using bootstrap resampling.ResultsA total of 465 patients were finally included in this study, and 165 (35.5%) patients experienced HFiEF 1 year after successful CTO PCI. According to the LASSO regression and multivariate logistic regression analyses, four variables were selected for the final prediction model: age [odds ratio (OR): 0.969; 95% confidence interval (CI): 0.952–0.988; p = 0.001], previous myocardial infarction (OR: 0.533; 95% CI: 0.357–0.796; p = 0.002), left ventricular end-diastolic dimension (OR: 0.940; 95% CI: 0.910–0.972; p < 0.001), and sodium glucose cotransporter two inhibitors (OR: 5.634; 95% CI: 1.756–18.080; p = 0.004). A nomogram was constructed to present the results. The C-index of the model was 0.666 (95% CI, 0.613–0.719) and 0.656 after validation. The calibration curve demonstrated that the nomogram agreed with the actual observations.ConclusionsWe developed an simple and effective nomogram for predicting the occurrence of HFiEF in patients with HF, 1 year after successful CTO PCI without severe residual stenosis.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To assess associations between current use of sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitors (SGLT2is), glucagon-like peptide 1 receptor agonists (GLP-1RAs), and their combination and risk for major adverse cardiac and cerebrovascular events (MACCE) and heart failure (HF) in people with type 2 diabetes. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS In three nested case-control studies involving patients with type 2 diabetes in England and Wales (primary care data from the Clinical Practice Research Datalink and Secure Anonymised Information Linkage Databank with linkage to hospital and mortality records), we matched each patient experiencing an event with up to 20 control subjects. Adjusted odds ratios (ORs) for MACCE and HF among patients receiving SGLT2i or GLP-1RA regimens versus other combinations were estimated using conditional logistic regression and pooled using random-effects meta-analysis. RESULTS Among 336,334 people with type 2 diabetes and without cardiovascular disease, 18,531 (5.5%) experienced a MACCE. In a cohort of 411,206 with type 2 diabetes and without HF, 17,451 (4.2%) experienced an HF event. Compared with other combination regimens, the adjusted pooled OR and 95% CI for MACCE associated with SGLT2i regimens was 0.82 (0.73, 0.92), with GLP-1RA regimens 0.93 (0.81, 1.06), and with the SGLT2i/GLP-1RA combination 0.70 (0.50, 0.98). Corresponding data for HF were SGLT2i 0.49 (0.42, 0.58), GLP-1RA 0.82 (0.71, 0.95), and SGLT2i/GLP-1RA combination 0.43 (0.28, 0.64). CONCLUSIONS SGLT2i and SGLT2i/GLP-1RA combination regimens may be beneficial in primary prevention of MACCE and HF and GLP-1RA for HF. These data call for primary prevention trials using these agents and their combination.
