[PMID: 38874752 DOI: 10.1007/s11302-024-10027-w] [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: 03/05/2024] [Accepted: 06/03/2024] [Indexed: 06/15/2024] Open
Abstract
P2Y12 receptor (P2Y12R) is an adenosine-activated G protein-coupled receptor (GPCR) that plays a central role in platelet function, hemostasis, and thrombosis. P2Y12R activation can promote platelet aggregation and adhesion to cancer cells, promote tumor angiogenesis, and affect the tumor immune microenvironment (TIME) and tumor drug resistance, which is conducive to the progression of cancers. Meanwhile, P2Y12R inhibitors can inhibit this effect, suggesting that P2Y12R may be a potential therapeutic target for cancer. P2Y12R is involved in cancer development and metastasis, while P2Y12R inhibitors are effective in inhibiting cancer. However, a new study suggests that long-term use of P2Y12R inhibitors may increase the risk of cancer and the mechanism remains to be explored. In this paper, we reviewed the structural and functional characteristics of P2Y12R and its role in cancer. We explored the role of P2Y12R inhibitors in different tumors and the latest advances by summarizing the basic and clinical studies on the effects of P2Y12R inhibitors on tumors.

[PMID: 33142758 PMCID: PMC7693153 DOI: 10.3390/cancers12113215] [Citation(s) in RCA: 12] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/24/2020] [Revised: 10/28/2020] [Accepted: 10/29/2020] [Indexed: 12/22/2022] Open
Abstract
Simple Summary Antiplatelet therapy shows antitumor effect in several types of cancers. In liver disease, antiplatelet therapy reduces liver fibrosis and occurrence of HCC. However, the effect after diagnosis of hepatocellular carcinoma is still unknown. Therefore, we aimed to clarify the effects of antiplatelet therapy for HCC patients in this study. We compared patients with and without antiplatelet therapy in overall survival, liver-related death, tumor progression, Child-Pugh deterioration and bleeding. Our results suggested that antiplatelet therapy had antitumor effect, liver protective effect and safety. Therefore, patients with antiplatelet therapy could reduce liver-related death and improve overall survival. Abstract Aims: Antiplatelet therapy has been reported to reduce liver fibrosis and hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), and has exhibited antitumor properties in other cancers. However, the effects of antiplatelet therapy after diagnosis of HCC are unknown. We investigated the effects of antiplatelet therapy on prognosis, tumor progression, liver function and safety in HCC patients. Methods: We retrospectively analyzed 772 HCC patients. Antiplatelet therapy was defined as the regular intake of aspirin or clopidogrel from HCC diagnosis through to an endpoint of either overall survival (OS) or liver-related death. Overall survival, liver-related death, tumor progression, Child–Pugh deterioration and hemorrhage were analyzed for patients who either had or had not undertaken antiplatelet therapy. Results: The numbers of patients who did and did not undertake antiplatelet therapy were 111 and 661, respectively. Patients who undertook antiplatelet therapy were older and had better liver function at diagnosis. Antiplatelet therapy resulted in significant improvements in OS (p < 0.01) and lower risk of liver-related death (p < 0.01). Multivariate Cox regression analysis revealed that antiplatelet therapy had a significant negative association with liver-related death (hazard ratio (HR): 0.64, 95% confidence interval (CI): 0.44–0.93, p = 0.02). In patients who underwent transcatheter arterial chemoembolization (TACE) as the first treatment, antiplatelet therapy prevented tumor progression (p < 0.01) and Child–Pugh deterioration (p < 0.01). Antiplatelet therapy did not increase the risk of hemorrhagic events. Conclusions: Antiplatelet therapy reduced liver-related death and improved OS safely in HCC patients.

Risk of cancer after an acute coronary syndrome according to the type of P2Y12 inhibitor. Thromb Res 2018; 174:51-58. [PMID: 30562722 DOI: 10.1016/j.thromres.2018.12.014] [Citation(s) in RCA: 12] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/08/2018] [Revised: 12/03/2018] [Accepted: 12/07/2018] [Indexed: 12/22/2022]
Abstract
INTRODUCTION There are conflicting clinical and laboratory data about the effect of dual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT) on cancer incidence, including analysis suggesting an increased cancer risk. This study aims to analyze if there are differences in the incidence of cancer according to the type of P2Y12 inhibitor prescribed (clopidogrel, prasugrel, or ticagrelor), among a population of acute coronary syndrome (ACS) survivors treated with DAPT. MATERIAL AND METHODS A retrospective study was conducted among 4229 consecutive ACS patients discharged from a tertiary hospital with DAPT from 2010 to 2016. Cox regression, propensity score, and survival-time inverse probability analysis were done. RESULTS A total of 311 were diagnosed of cancer during a median follow-up of 46.2 months. The cumulative incidence function (CIF) of cancer (per 100 patients/year) was 2.2 for clopidogrel, 1.6 for prasugrel, and 0.3 for ticagrelor. After multivariate analysis, we have found that ticagrelor resulted associated with lower cancer risk than clopidogrel (sHR 0.20: 95% CI 0.05-0.84; p = 0.028), without differences between prasugrel and clopidogrel. After propensity score matching, ticagrelor was also associated with lower incidence of cancer than clopidogrel/prasugrel (sHR 0.22; 95% CI 0.05-0.90; p = 0.036), regardless of DAPT duration. CONCLUSION DAPT with ticagrelor could be associated with lower follow-up cancer incidence than DAPT with clopidogrel or prasugrel after an ACS.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Thienopyridines are a class of antiplatelet drugs widely used in cardiovascular disease prevention and treatment. A recent concern has come to light regarding the safety of thienopyridines because of the possible risk of malignancy. We therefore performed a systematic review and meta-analysis to evaluate the association between thienopyridine exposure and malignancy. METHODS We searched the MEDLINE and EMBASE databases in March 2016 for studies that evaluated incident cancer and cancer mortality with and without exposure to thienopyridines. Relevant studies were identified, and data were extracted and analysed using random-effects meta-analysis. RESULTS A total of nine studies (six randomised controlled trials and three cohort studies) that included 282,084 participants were included. The cancer event rate with clopidogrel and prasugrel was 3.25% and 1.58% respectively. When compared with standard aspirin or placebo, thienopyridines are not significantly associated with cancer mortality and event rate (odds ratio [OR] 1.12, 95% confidence interval [CI] 0.80-1.56, n = 3; and OR 0.92, 95% CI 0.52-1.64, n = 2, respectively. Further analyses examining clopidogrel showed no significant association with cancer event rate or malignancy-related death. When comparing prasugrel with clopidogrel, no significant association was noted for cancer event rate (OR 1.10, 95% CI 0.89-1.37, n = 2]. Subanalyses according to cancer location showed that thienopyridines are not significantly associated with malignancy mortality and/or incidence. CONCLUSIONS Our results suggest that there is currently insufficient evidence to suggest that thienopyridine exposure is associated with an increased risk of cancer event rate or mortality.

Abstract
Clopidogrel, a thienopyridine derivative with antiplatelet activity, is widely prescribed for patients with cardiovascular diseases. In addition to antiplatelet activity, antiplatelet agents possess anticancer and antimetastatic properties. Contrary to this, results of some studies have suggested that the use of clopidogrel and other thienopyridines accelerates the progression of breast, colorectal, and prostate cancer. Therefore, in this study, we aimed to evaluate the efficacy of clopidogrel and various anticancer agents as a combined treatment using mouse models of breast, colorectal, and prostate cancer. Metastatic dissemination, selected parameters of platelet morphology and biochemistry, as well as angiogenesis were assessed. In addition, body weight, blood morphology, and biochemistry were evaluated to test toxicity of the studied compounds. According to the results, clopidogrel increased antitumor and/or antimetastatic activity of chemotherapeutics such as 5-fluorouracil, cyclophosphamide, and mitoxantrone, whereas it decreased the anticancer activity of doxorubicin, cisplatin, and tamoxifen. The mechanisms of such divergent activities may be based on the modulation of tumor vasculature via factors, such as transforming growth factor β1 released from platelets. Moreover, clopidogrel increased the toxicity of docetaxel and protected against mitoxantrone-induced toxicity, which may be due to the modulation of hepatic enzymes and protection of the vasculature, respectively. These results demonstrate that antiplatelet agents can be useful but also dangerous in anticancer treatment and therefore use of thienopyridines in patients undergoing chemotherapy should be carefully evaluated.

Does antiaggregant administration lead to early diagnosis in proximal colon cancer? North Clin Istanb 2017; 4:173-179. [PMID: 28971176 PMCID: PMC5613266 DOI: 10.14744/nci.2017.80148] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.1] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/02/2017] [Accepted: 05/08/2017] [Indexed: 11/20/2022] Open
Abstract
OBJECTIVE: Cancers of the proximal colon are often diagnosed in advanced stages with iron deficiency anemia and nonspecific symptoms. Aspirin and clopidogrel are commonly used antiaggregant agents for various clinical conditions. The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of antiaggregant medication on the early diagnosis of proximal colon cancer. METHODS: Cases of colon cancer patients who had received curative surgical procedures between January 1, 2013 and July 31, 2016 were retrospectively reviewed. The clinical and pathological results of patients who had used antiaggregant drugs were compared to those who had not. RESULTS: During the studied period, 246 colorectal cancer patients underwent curative surgical procedures. Of the 67 patients with proximal colon cancer who were included in the study, 27 (40.3%) had taken antiaggregant medication. The mean age of the antiaggregant group was 67.1 years (range: 34–88 years), while it was 58.3 years (range: 34–83 years) for the non-antiaggregant group; the difference between the 2 groups was statistically significant (p=0.03). A pathological evaluation revealed that 74.1% of the antiaggregant group was in the early stages (Stage I/II: 7/13), while 42.5% of the non-antiaggregant group was in the early stages (Stage I/II: 2/15); the difference was statistically significant (p=0.011). CONCLUSION: Antiaggregant medication has a positive effect on diagnosing proximal colon cancer at early stages. Patients using aspirin or clopidogrel should undergo a complete colonoscopic evaluation in the presence of gastrointestinal tract bleeding or newly developed anemia.

Abstract
PURPOSE The aim of this study was to evaluate the relationship between long-term aspirin use with pretreatment 18 Fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) uptake of primary lesions of Colorectal cancer (CRC) and evaluate their clinical significance. MATERIALS AND METHODS We enrolled 84 patients with CRC who underwent 18F-FDG PET/CT scanning before surgery between 1st July 2008 and 1st March 2013 and followed up until 1st March 2014. Maximum standardized uptake value (SUVmax) of the primary tumor was measured by 18F-FDG PET/CT. The history of aspirin taken and other clinicopathogical factors were also obtained and their relationships were examined by Mann-Whitney or χ2 tests. Progression-free survival (PFS) was determined by standard Kaplan-Meier survival analysis. Cox proportional hazards regression was performed to determine whether history of aspirin taken, pretreatment SUVmax, age, gender, TNM stage, tumor sizes and differentiation influenced outcomes. RESULTS CRC Patients with long-term history of aspirin use had lower SUVmax of primary lesions than control group (9.74±2.62 vs. 13.91±6.18) and showed a trend towards improved PFS after curative surgery. However, pretreatment of SUVmax showed no prognostic value in patients with CRC. CONCLUSIONS Long-term aspirin use is associated with lower pretreatment SUVmax of CRC and is a promising prognostic factor for predicting PFS in patients with CRC.
