The Effect of SGLT2 Inhibitor Therapy on Endothelial Progenitor Cell Function in Patients with Heart Failure
Sodium-glucose cotransporter-2 (SGLT-2) inhibitors have been shown to reduce the risk of cardiovascular mortality and hospitalizations in patients with heart failure (HF) with preserved or reduced ejection fraction (HFpEF or HFrEF). The mechanism for this benefit is not clear. Endothelial progenitor cells (EPCs) are bone-marrow derived cells able to differentiate into functional endothelial cells and participate in endothelial repair. The aim of the current study was to evaluate the effect of SGLT-2 inhibitors on the level and function of EPCs in patients with HF. We enrolled 20 patients with symptomatic HF, 12 with HFrEF and 8 with HFpEF (aged 73.3±10.2 years, 95% men). Blood samples were drawn at 2 time points: baseline and ≥3 months after initiation of SGLT-2 inhibitor therapy. Circulating EPC levels were evaluated by expression of VEGFR-2, CD34 and CD133 by flow-cytometry. EPCs colony forming units (CFUs) were quantified after 7 days in culture. The proportion of cells that co-expressed VEGFR-2 and CD34 or VEGFR-2 and CD133 was higher following 3 months of SGLT-2 inhibitors [0.26% (IQR 0.10-0.33) vs. 0.55% (IQR 0.28-0.91), P=0.002; 0.12% (IQR 0.07-0.15) vs. 0.24% (IQR 0.15-0.39), P=0.001, respectively]. EPCs-CFU were also increased following SGLT-2 inhibitor treatment [23 (IQR 3.7-37.8) vs. 79.4 (IQR 25.1-110.25) colonies/106 cells, P=0.0039]. In patients with symptomatic HF, both HFpEF and HFrEF, treatment with SGLT-2 inhibitors is associated with an increase in circulating EPCs level and function. This augmentation in EPCs may be a contributing mechanism to the clinical benefit of SGLT-2 inhibitors in HF patients.
期刊介绍:
Journal of Cardiovascular Pharmacology is a peer reviewed, multidisciplinary journal that publishes original articles and pertinent review articles on basic and clinical aspects of cardiovascular pharmacology. The Journal encourages submission in all aspects of cardiovascular pharmacology/medicine including, but not limited to: stroke, kidney disease, lipid disorders, diabetes, systemic and pulmonary hypertension, cancer angiogenesis, neural and hormonal control of the circulation, sepsis, neurodegenerative diseases with a vascular component, cardiac and vascular remodeling, heart failure, angina, anticoagulants/antiplatelet agents, drugs/agents that affect vascular smooth muscle, and arrhythmias.
Appropriate subjects include new drug development and evaluation, physiological and pharmacological bases of drug action, metabolism, drug interactions and side effects, application of drugs to gain novel insights into physiology or pathological conditions, clinical results with new and established agents, and novel methods. The focus is on pharmacology in its broadest applications, incorporating not only traditional approaches, but new approaches to the development of pharmacological agents and the prevention and treatment of cardiovascular diseases. Please note that JCVP does not publish work based on biological extracts of mixed and uncertain chemical composition or unknown concentration.
