Abstract
Aims
To investigate the effect of hyperglycemia and empagliflozin on cardiorenal injury and inflammation in patients with uncomplicated type 1 diabetes (T1D).
Methods
Serum cardiac (sST2, Gal-3, cTnT), kidney injury (KIM-1, NGAL), inflammatory (sTNFR1, sTNFR2), and hemodynamic (NT-proBNP, EPO) markers were assessed post-hoc in two separate T1D cohorts. The glycemic clamp trial (NCT02344602) evaluated 49 adults with T1D and 27 controls under euglycemic and acute hyperglycemic conditions. The crossover BETWEEN trial (NCT02632747) investigated empagliflozin 25 mg plus ramipril for 4 weeks compared to placebo-ramipril for 4 weeks in 30 adults with T1D.
Results
In the glycemic clamp study, hyperglycemia acutely increased levels of NT-proBNP (p = 0.0003) and sTNFR2 (p = 0.003). BETWEEN participants treated with empagliflozin exhibited a paradoxical subacute rise in NT-proBNP (p = 0.0147) compared to placebo, independent of hematocrit. Individuals with higher baseline levels of sST2 and sTNFR1 had greater empagliflozin-associated reductions in systolic blood pressure and greater activation of renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system (RAAS) mediators, whereas those with higher baseline levels of KIM-1 and sTNFR1 had greater glomerular filtration rate (GFR) dip.
Conclusion
The protective mechanisms of SGLT2 inhibition on blood pressure, RAAS activation, and renal hemodynamics are apparent in the subset of people with uncomplicated T1D with adverse cardiorenal and inflammatory markers.
期刊介绍:
Diabetes Research and Clinical Practice is an international journal for health-care providers and clinically oriented researchers that publishes high-quality original research articles and expert reviews in diabetes and related areas. The role of the journal is to provide a venue for dissemination of knowledge and discussion of topics related to diabetes clinical research and patient care. Topics of focus include translational science, genetics, immunology, nutrition, psychosocial research, epidemiology, prevention, socio-economic research, complications, new treatments, technologies and therapy.
