Type 2 diabetes is a key player in atherothrombosis. Inflammation participates in metabolic homeostasis interacting with adipose tissue-specific macrophages. Platelets appear as addresses and players carrying and transducing metabolic derangement into vascular injury. AGE-RAGE pathway is recognized as the driver of metabolic memory. Human platelets have insulin receptors that participate in the regulation of platelet function and platelets are potential sites of insulin resistance. The present mini-review addresses key pathophysiological aspects including i) the role of inflammation in the pathogenesis of diabetes; ii) platelets as inflammatory cells; iii) the involvement on inflammation in the interindividual variability in aspirin response. Taken together, these aspects may contribute to expand knowledge about the link between the extent of inflammation, platelet activation and turnover, and interindividual variability in the development of atherothrombosis and its prevention, in a view of precision medicine.

The two last decades have witnessed a revolution in the field of anticoagulation, mainly due to the advent of direct anticoagulant with targeted action against single coagulation proteins. However, the residual risk of cardio- and cerebrovascular events, particularly in some critical settings, and the risk of major bleeding still represent unmet medical needs. Preclinical studies and experience from families with genetic deficiencies of factor XI or XII (FXI and FXII) allowed to identify these factors involved in the contact pathway of coagulation as potential targets for new anticoagulant approaches. To date, several pharmacological classes of FXI and FXII inhibitors have been developed, including antisense oligonucleotides, monoclonal antibodies, small molecules, natural inhibitors, and aptamers, and various molecules are currently under phase 2 or 3 clinical investigation. Particularly, promising results have been obtained in patients undergoing major orthopedic surgery, in those with end-stage kidney disease, atrial fibrillation and acute coronary syndrome. This review summarizes current knowledge on FXI and FXII inhibitors, with a particular focus on their pharmacological properties and potential clinical indications.

Tumor necrosis factor (TNF) is a key player in multiple sclerosis pathology. TNF signaling is dually regulated by antagonist groups of actors: TNFR1, mediating proinflammatory effects and synaptopathy, CD40L-CD40 dyad, crucial for blood-brain barrier breakdown and facilitation of recruitment of inflammatory cells in the central nervous system, and TNFR2, promoting neuroprotective and reparative functions. A promising therapeutic approach in multiple sclerosis is represented by selective TNFR1 antagonists and TNFR2 agonists, possibly in combination. TNFR2 agonists could exert both central effects such as remyelination, reduction of glutamatergic excitotoxicity, and peripheral immunomodulation by enhancing T cells (Treg) activity. On the other side, the potential therapeutic role of platelet and CD40L-CD40 dyad inhibition could be beneficial to preserve blood-brain barrier integrity and thereby dampen neuroinflammation.
