[PMID: 38376102 DOI: 10.1111/odi.14893] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/01/2023] [Revised: 01/05/2024] [Accepted: 01/27/2024] [Indexed: 02/21/2024]
Abstract
OBJECTIVES Uncertainties remain regarding the effect of elevated glucose levels on lymphatic metastasis of cancer cells. Our study elucidated the mechanisms linking high glucose to lymphangiogenesis and lymphatic barrier-related factors and investigated the protective role of linagliptin against lymphatic barrier dysfunction. MATERIALS AND METHODS A CAL-27-LEC co-culture system was established. Sodium fluorescein permeability assay observed lymphatic endothelial cell permeability. Western blotting and RT-qPCR detected protein and mRNA expression under different conditions, respectively. CCK-8, scratch wound healing, and transwell assays revealed cell migration and proliferation. Tube formation experiment tested capacity for endothelial tube formation. Immunohistochemical staining analyzed tissue sections from 43 oral cancer individuals with/without diabetes. RESULTS In high-glucose co-culture system, we observed increased lymphatic barrier permeability and decreased expression of ZO-1 and occludin, two tight-junction proteins; conversely, the expression of PAR2, a high permeability-related protein, was increased. Following linagliptin treatment, the expression levels of VEGF-C, VEGFR-3, and PAR2 decreased, while those of ZO-1 and occludin increased. Considerably higher levels of LYVE-1 expression in individuals with diabetes than in those without diabetes. CONCLUSIONS By ameliorating the high glucose-induced disruption of the lymphatic endothelial barrier, linagliptin may reduce lymphangiogenesis and exhibit an inhibitory effect on lymphatic metastasis in oral cancer patients with diabetes.

Abstract
Dipeptidyl peptidase 4 (DPP4) is a serine protease known to cleave incretin hormones, which stimulate insulin secretion after food intake, a fact that supported the development of its inhibitors (DPP4i or gliptins) for the treatment of type 2 diabetes mellitus. In addition to their glucose-lowering effects, DPP4i show benefits for the cardiovascular system that could be related, at least in part, to their protective action on vascular endothelium. DPP4i have been associated with the reversal of endothelial dysfunction, an important predictor of cardiovascular events and a hallmark of diseases such as atherosclerosis, diabetes mellitus, hypertension, and heart failure. In animal models of these diseases, DPP4i increase nitric oxide bioavailability and limits oxidative stress, thereby improving the endothelium-dependent relaxation. Similar effects on flow-mediated dilation and attenuation of endothelial dysfunction have also been noted in human studies, suggesting a value for gliptins in the clinical scenario, despite the variability of the results regarding the DPP4i used, treatment duration, and presence of comorbidities. In this mini-review, we discuss the advances in our comprehension of the DPP4i effects on endothelial regulation of vascular tone. Understanding the role of DPP4 and its involvement in the signaling mechanisms leading to endothelial dysfunction will pave the way for a broader use of DPP4i in conditions that endothelial dysfunction is a pivotal pathophysiological player.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is a leading cause of death globally. Recently, dipeptidyl peptidase-4 inhibitors (DPP4i), glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1RA) and sodium-glucose co-transporter-2 inhibitors (SGLT2i) were approved for treating people with type 2 diabetes mellitus. Although metformin remains the first-line pharmacotherapy for people with type 2 diabetes mellitus, a body of evidence has recently emerged indicating that DPP4i, GLP-1RA and SGLT2i may exert positive effects on patients with known CVD. OBJECTIVES To systematically review the available evidence on the benefits and harms of DPP4i, GLP-1RA, and SGLT2i in people with established CVD, using network meta-analysis. SEARCH METHODS We searched CENTRAL, MEDLINE, Embase, and the Conference Proceedings Citation Index on 16 July 2020. We also searched clinical trials registers on 22 August 2020. We did not restrict by language or publication status. SELECTION CRITERIA We searched for randomised controlled trials (RCTs) investigating DPP4i, GLP-1RA, or SGLT2i that included participants with established CVD. Outcome measures of interest were CVD mortality, fatal and non-fatal myocardial infarction, fatal and non-fatal stroke, all-cause mortality, hospitalisation for heart failure (HF), and safety outcomes. DATA COLLECTION AND ANALYSIS Three review authors independently screened the results of searches to identify eligible studies and extracted study data. We used the GRADE approach to assess the certainty of the evidence. We conducted standard pairwise meta-analyses and network meta-analyses by pooling studies that we assessed to be of substantial homogeneity; subgroup and sensitivity analyses were also pursued to explore how study characteristics and potential effect modifiers could affect the robustness of our review findings. We analysed study data using the odds ratios (ORs) and log odds ratios (LORs) with their respective 95% confidence intervals (CIs) and credible intervals (Crls), where appropriate. We also performed narrative synthesis for included studies that were of substantial heterogeneity and that did not report quantitative data in a usable format, in order to discuss their individual findings and relevance to our review scope. MAIN RESULTS We included 31 studies (287 records), of which we pooled data from 20 studies (129,465 participants) for our meta-analysis. The majority of the included studies were at low risk of bias, using Cochrane's tool for assessing risk of bias. Among the 20 pooled studies, six investigated DPP4i, seven studied GLP-1RA, and the remaining seven trials evaluated SGLT2i. All outcome data described below were reported at the longest follow-up duration. 1. DPP4i versus placebo Our review suggests that DPP4i do not reduce any risk of efficacy outcomes: CVD mortality (OR 1.00, 95% CI 0.91 to 1.09; high-certainty evidence), myocardial infarction (OR 0.97, 95% CI 0.88 to 1.08; high-certainty evidence), stroke (OR 1.00, 95% CI 0.87 to 1.14; high-certainty evidence), and all-cause mortality (OR 1.03, 95% CI 0.96 to 1.11; high-certainty evidence). DPP4i probably do not reduce hospitalisation for HF (OR 0.99, 95% CI 0.80 to 1.23; moderate-certainty evidence). DPP4i may not increase the likelihood of worsening renal function (OR 1.08, 95% CI 0.88 to 1.33; low-certainty evidence) and probably do not increase the risk of bone fracture (OR 1.00, 95% CI 0.83 to 1.19; moderate-certainty evidence) or hypoglycaemia (OR 1.11, 95% CI 0.95 to 1.29; moderate-certainty evidence). They are likely to increase the risk of pancreatitis (OR 1.63, 95% CI 1.12 to 2.37; moderate-certainty evidence). 2. GLP-1RA versus placebo Our findings indicate that GLP-1RA reduce the risk of CV mortality (OR 0.87, 95% CI 0.79 to 0.95; high-certainty evidence), all-cause mortality (OR 0.88, 95% CI 0.82 to 0.95; high-certainty evidence), and stroke (OR 0.87, 95% CI 0.77 to 0.98; high-certainty evidence). GLP-1RA probably do not reduce the risk of myocardial infarction (OR 0.89, 95% CI 0.78 to 1.01; moderate-certainty evidence), and hospitalisation for HF (OR 0.95, 95% CI 0.85 to 1.06; high-certainty evidence). GLP-1RA may reduce the risk of worsening renal function (OR 0.61, 95% CI 0.44 to 0.84; low-certainty evidence), but may have no impact on pancreatitis (OR 0.96, 95% CI 0.68 to 1.35; low-certainty evidence). We are uncertain about the effect of GLP-1RA on hypoglycaemia and bone fractures. 3. SGLT2i versus placebo This review shows that SGLT2i probably reduce the risk of CV mortality (OR 0.82, 95% CI 0.70 to 0.95; moderate-certainty evidence), all-cause mortality (OR 0.84, 95% CI 0.74 to 0.96; moderate-certainty evidence), and reduce the risk of HF hospitalisation (OR 0.65, 95% CI 0.59 to 0.71; high-certainty evidence); they do not reduce the risk of myocardial infarction (OR 0.97, 95% CI 0.84 to 1.12; high-certainty evidence) and probably do not reduce the risk of stroke (OR 1.12, 95% CI 0.92 to 1.36; moderate-certainty evidence). In terms of treatment safety, SGLT2i probably reduce the incidence of worsening renal function (OR 0.59, 95% CI 0.43 to 0.82; moderate-certainty evidence), and probably have no effect on hypoglycaemia (OR 0.90, 95% CI 0.75 to 1.07; moderate-certainty evidence) or bone fracture (OR 1.02, 95% CI 0.88 to 1.18; high-certainty evidence), and may have no impact on pancreatitis (OR 0.85, 95% CI 0.39 to 1.86; low-certainty evidence). 4. Network meta-analysis Because we failed to identify direct comparisons between each class of the agents, findings from our network meta-analysis provided limited novel insights. Almost all findings from our network meta-analysis agree with those from the standard meta-analysis. GLP-1RA may not reduce the risk of stroke compared with placebo (OR 0.87, 95% CrI 0.75 to 1.0; moderate-certainty evidence), which showed similar odds estimates and wider 95% Crl compared with standard pairwise meta-analysis. Indirect estimates also supported comparison across all three classes. SGLT2i was ranked the best for CVD and all-cause mortality. AUTHORS' CONCLUSIONS Findings from both standard and network meta-analyses of moderate- to high-certainty evidence suggest that GLP-1RA and SGLT2i are likely to reduce the risk of CVD mortality and all-cause mortality in people with established CVD; high-certainty evidence demonstrates that treatment with SGLT2i reduce the risk of hospitalisation for HF, while moderate-certainty evidence likely supports the use of GLP-1RA to reduce fatal and non-fatal stroke. Future studies conducted in the non-diabetic CVD population will reveal the mechanisms behind how these agents improve clinical outcomes irrespective of their glucose-lowering effects.

Abstract
Background The present study was conducted with the aim of clarifying the effects of protocatechualdehyde (PCA) on the endothelial function in streptozotocin (STZ)-induced diabetic rats. Methods Sprague Dawley (SD) rats were intraperitoneally injected with STZ (single dose of 60 mg/kg). Diabetic model rats were given PCA (25 mg/kg/day) via gavage feeding for 6 weeks. Vascular function was studied; superoxide anion and nitrotyrosine levels were assessed; and nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate hydrogen (NADPH) oxidase as well as total superoxide dismutase (SOD) activity were detected. Protein expression of phosphorylated endothelial nitric oxide synthase (P-eNOS), total endothelial nitric oxide synthase (T-eNOS), p22phox, p47phox and Cu/Zn-SOD were measured by Western blot analysis. Results PCA treatment significantly ameliorated the impairment of acetylcholine- evoked endothelium-dependent relaxation, with no obvious effects observed on the blood glucose or body weight in the STZ-induced diabetic rats. Expression levels of aortic P-eNOS/T-eNOS and endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS) activity were decreased in STZ-induced diabetic rats while they remained unchanged in PCA-treated rats. However, PCA treatment improved oxidative inactivation of nitric oxide (NO) and decreased the levels of superoxide anion and nitrotyrosine in the aorta of STZ-induced diabetic rats; these were achieved by reducing the level of nitrotyrosine and down-regulating p47phox and p22phox expression, as well as up-regulating Cu/Zn-SOD protein expression. Consistently, the effects observed were associated with a decrease in NADPH oxidase activity and an increase in total SOD activity. Conclusions Our results indicate that the administration of PCA may be protective against oxidative stress and may restore endothelial function by improving vascular NO oxidative inactivation in diabetic condition.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION We investigated the associations between endothelial dysfunction (ED) as evaluated by the reactive hyperemia index (RHI) obtained using Endo-PAT2000® and atherosclerotic risk factors in patients who underwent coronary artery angiography (CAG). METHODS The subjects consisted of 191 patients who were clinically suspected to have CAD and underwent CAG, and in whom we could perform Endo-PAT2000®. We divided the patients into ED (RHI<1.67, n = 71) and non-ED (RHI≥1.67, n = 120) groups. RESULTS The ED group was significantly older and showed a higher ratio of low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) to high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) (L/H) than the non-ED group. A multivariate logistic regression analysis was performed to examine the associations between the presence of ED and age, gender, and BMI in addition to L/H. Age [odds ratio (OR) = 1.03, p = .02] and L/H (OR = 1.64, p = .01) were identified as significant independent markers of the presence of ED. Next, we divided 122 patients with statin treatment into ED (n = 40) and non-ED (n = 82) groups. The ED group tended to have higher L/H and lower HDL-C than the non-ED group. HDL-C (OR = 0.95, p = .01) and age (OR = 1.05, p = .04) were identified as independent markers of the presence of ED. CONCLUSIONS L/H was an independent marker of the presence of ED in patients without dyslipidemia. In addition, among patients with statin treatment, HDL-C was an independent marker of the presence of ED.

Abstract
The contribution of natural products (NPs) to cardiovascular medicine has been extensively documented, and many have been used for centuries. Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is the leading cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide. Over the past 40 years, approximately 50% of newly developed cardiovascular drugs were based on NPs, suggesting that NPs provide essential skeletal structures for the discovery of novel medicines. After a period of lower productivity since the 1990s, NPs have recently regained scientific and commercial attention, leveraging the wealth of knowledge provided by multi-omics, combinatorial biosynthesis, synthetic biology, integrative pharmacology, analytical and computational technologies. In addition, as a crucial part of complementary and alternative medicine, Traditional Chinese Medicine has increasingly drawn attention as an important source of NPs for cardiovascular drug discovery. Given their structural diversity and biological activity NPs are one of the most valuable sources of drugs and drug leads. In this review, we briefly described the characteristics and classification of NPs in CVDs. Then, we provide an up to date summary on the therapeutic potential and the underlying mechanisms of action of NPs in CVDs, and the current view and future prospect of developing safer and more effective cardiovascular drugs based on NPs.

Abstract
Background Endothelial dysfunction is an early phase of atherosclerosis and causes atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD), but the cutoff reactive hyperemia index (RHI) for identifying ASCVD patients under treatment for lifestyle diseases is unknown. Methods Patients who visited Cardiology Section, Izumi General Medical Center, Kagoshima, Japan and were measured RHI using Endo-PAT 2000 during May 2014 and March 2016 were enrolled. We divided them into ASCVD and non-ASCVD groups and investigated the association with RHI between the groups. Results ASCVD group included 195 patients and non-ASCVD group included 288 patients. Age, body mass index and the rate of male, hypertension, diabetes, dyslipidemia and chronic kidney disease in the ASCVD group were significantly higher than those in non-ASCVD group. RHI in the ASCVD group (1.65 (1.40 - 1.92)) was significantly lower than that in the non-ASCVD group (1.73 (1.45 - 2.24)) (P < 0.05). In multi-regression analysis, RHI (odds ratio: 0.67, 95% confidence interval: 0.45 - 0.99, P = 0.04) was independently associated with ASCVD after adjusted by age, sex, body mass index, smoking, hypertension, diabetes, dyslipidemia and chronic kidney disease. The cutoff RHI value between the groups was 1.80. Conclusion RHI was significantly associated with ASCVD under treatment for lifestyle diseases and the cutoff value was 1.80.

Greater circulating DPP4 activity is associated with impaired flow-mediated dilatation in adults with type 2 diabetes mellitus. Nutr Metab Cardiovasc Dis 2019; 29:1087-1094.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIM Dipeptidyl peptidase 4 (DPP4) is a key enzyme involved in the regulation of the incretin system exerted by cleaving the glucagon-like peptide 1 (GLP-1); the blockage of DPP4, exerted by the antidiabetic agents DPP4-inhibitors (DPP4-I), results in greater GLP-1 concentration and improved glycaemic control. DPP4 acts also as a pro-inflammatory molecule and mediates vascular damage in experimental models. The relationship between DPP4 activity and endothelial function in diabetes has not been explored yet. Aim of this study was to investigate systemic plasma DPP4 activity in relation to endothelial function in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). METHODS AND RESULTS Sixty-two T2DM individuals were recruited in our Diabetes outpatient clinics, Sapienza University, Rome, Italy. All participants underwent complete clinical work-up; endothelial function was evaluated by flow-mediated dilatation (FMD) test; plasma DPP4 activity was assessed by measuring the 7-amino-4-methylcoumarin (AMC) cleavage rate from the synthetic substrate H-glycyl-prolyl-AMC and compared with DPP4 activity measured in sixty-two age-, sex-, BMI-matched non-diabetic subjects. Patients with T2DM had significantly higher DPP4 activity than non-diabetic individuals (211,466 ± 87657 vs 158,087 ± 60267 nmol/min/ml, p < 0.001); in T2DM patients, greater DPP4 activity significantly correlated with lower FMD whereas was not associated with BMI and metabolic control. Greater systemic DPP4 activity was an independent predictor of reduced FMD after adjusting for age, gender and other confounders. CONCLUSIONS Circulating DPP4 activity is increased in individuals with T2DM and associated with signs of endothelial dysfunction such as impaired FMD. DPP4 may negatively affect endothelial function through mechanisms beyond glucose homeostasis and metabolic control.

Abstract
The relationship between myocardial bridging (MB) and coronary spasms during spasm provocation testing (SPT) remains unclear. We aimed to investigate whether MB was correlated with the SPT by ergonovine (ER) injections in a retrospective observational study. Of the 3340 patients who underwent a first coronary angiography, 166 underwent SPT using ER injections and were divided into 2 groups: MB(+) (n = 23), and MB(−) (n = 143). MB was defined as an angiographic reduction in the diameter of the coronary artery during systole. The patients who had severe organic stenosis in the left anterior descending coronary artery were excluded. The MB(+) group more frequently had diabetes mellitus and chronic kidney disease, and a thicker interventricular septum thickness. The rate of SPT-positivity was higher in the MB(+) group than MB(−) group (56.5% vs. 22.4%, P = 0.001). A multivariate regression analysis showed that the presence of MB was independently associated with SPT-positivity (odds ratio 5.587, 95% confidence interval 2.061–15.149, P = 0.001). In conclusion, coronary spasms during provocation tests with ER independently correlated with the MB. MB may predict coronary spasms.

Abstract
Background: The α-glucosidase inhibitors (AGIs) are commonly prescribed in Asian patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), but with a high incidence of gastrointestinal side effects. This study was aimed to compare the efficacy and safety of dipeptidyl peptidase-4 (DPP4) inhibitors and AGIs in T2DM patients in a meta-analysis. Methods: Randomized controlled trials were identified via systematic search of PubMed, Embase, and Cochrane’s Library databases from inception to February, 2019. Meta-analyses were performed via a random or a fixed effect model according to the heterogeneity. Results: Eighteen studies with a total of 4,051 patients with T2DM were included. The DPP4 inhibitors were associated with lower reduction of glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1c) as compared with AGIs [weighed mean difference (WMD): −0.37%, p < 0.001]. Subgroup analyses indicated that the benefit of DPP4 inhibitors as compared with AGIs on HbA1c were independent of study design, scale, baseline HbA1c, with or without concurrent medications, or follow-up durations. Moreover, compared to AGIs, DPP4 inhibitors was associated with lower reductions of fasting blood glucose (WMD: −0.53 mmol/L, P < 0.001) and postprandial glucose at 2h (WMD: −0.60 mmol/L, P = 0.04), moderately increased body weight (WMD: 0.34 kg, P = 0.02), and decreased risk of gastrointestinal adverse events [risk ratio (RR): 0.48, P < 0.001], but unaffected risk of symptomatic hypoglycemia (RR: 0.96, P = 0.90). Conclusions: The DPP4 inhibitors are superior to AGIs in T2DM patients for better glycemic control and lower risks of gastrointestinal side effects.

Abstract
In Japan, the choice of anti-diabetic medication is officially recommended according to the patient’s glycemic condition and disease phenotype, unlike most other regions where metformin is recommended as the first-line medication. There has been an increase in the number of available glucose-lowering agents, making it necessary to select these agents based on ever-improving evidence obtained from clinical trials. For the dipeptidyl peptidase-4 inhibitor class of drugs, nine drugs are currently available on the market in Japan. Although previous cardiovascular outcome trials (CVOTs) demonstrated non-inferiority for both major adverse cardiovascular events (MACEs) and safety for some drugs of the class, the design and results of the CARMELINA trial seemed to be slightly different from earlier trials in that it showed the drugs were safe and partially effective even in patients with renal impairment. Thus, recent CVOTs on newer glucose-lowering agents have mainly focused on the major impacts of individual classes and drugs on clinical outcomes behind their glucose-lowering action. The diverse features of the classes and individual drugs may have also highlighted not only the class-effects, but also the drug-effects of glucose-lowering agents. This will lead to clinical-based evidence and assist with optimum selection of the class and/or drug for tailored medication in patients with type 2 diabetes.

Abstract
Accumulated evidence shows that some antidiabetic agents attenuate the progression of carotid atherosclerosis assessed as intima-media thickness (IMT). Although some studies have demonstrated an inhibitory effect of dipeptidyl peptidase-4 inhibitors on carotid IMT progression, in the PROLOGUE study sitagliptin failed to slow progression relative to conventional therapy for 24 months. We hypothesized that differences in the concomitant antidiabetic agents between the groups have influenced the progression of carotid IMT. We performed a post hoc analysis of the PROLOGUE study using subgroups stratified by concomitant antidiabetic agents. Although no subgroup with any combination of agents in the overall patients showed a significant difference between sitagliptin group and conventional therapy group in the changes from baseline in mean common carotid artery (CCA)-IMT at 24 months, a significant attenuation of mean CCA-IMT progression was observed in the sitagliptin group relative to conventional therapy group only in three combination subgroups aged < 70 years, namely no thiazolidinedione; no thiazolidinedione or biguanide; and no thiazolidinedione, biguanide or α-glucosidase inhibitor, even after adjustment for multiple confounding factors. In the three subgroups, no significant difference between sitagliptin group and conventional therapy group in the changes from baseline in HbA1c at 24 months was detected. Our data suggest that some concomitant agents, whose prescription frequencies were increased in the conventional therapy group, may have masked the inhibitory effect of sitagliptin on carotid IMT progression in the PROLOGUE study.

Abstract
The incidence and prevalence of diabetes mellitus is rapidly increasing worldwide at an alarming rate. Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is the most prevalent form of diabetes, accounting for approximately 90-95% of the total diabetes cases worldwide. Besides affecting the ability of body to use glucose, it is associated with micro-vascular and macro-vascular complications. Augmented atherosclerosis is documented to be the key factor leading to vascular complications in T2DM patients. The metabolic milieu of T2DM, including insulin resistance, hyperglycemia and release of excess free fatty acids, along with other metabolic abnormalities affects vascular wall by a series of events including endothelial dysfunction, platelet hyperactivity, oxidative stress and low-grade inflammation. Activation of these events further enhances vasoconstriction and promotes thrombus formation, ultimately resulting in the development of atherosclerosis. All these evidences are supported by the clinical trials reporting the importance of endothelial dysfunction and platelet hyperactivity in the pathogenesis of atherosclerotic vascular complications. In this review, an attempt has been made to comprehensively compile updated information available in context of endothelial and platelet dysfunction in T2DM.

Abstract
Background Early glucose lowering intervention in subjects with type 2 diabetes mellitus was demonstrated to be beneficial in terms of micro- and macrovascular risk reduction. However, most of currently ongoing cardiovascular outcome trials are performed in subjects with manifest atherosclerosis and long-standing diabetes. Therefore, the aim of this study is to investigate the effects of the dipeptidylpeptidase-4 inhibitor linagliptin in subjects with coronary artery disease (CAD) but early type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) on a set of cardiovascular surrogate measurements. Methods In this randomized, placebo-controlled, double-blind, single-center study, we included subjects with early diabetes (postchallenge diabetes (2 h glucose > 200 mg/dl) or T2DM treated with diet only or on a stable dose of metformin monotherapy and an HbA1c < 75 mmol/mol) and established CAD. Participants were randomized to receive either linagliptin (5 mg) once daily orally or placebo for 12 weeks. The primary outcome was the change in flow mediated dilatation (FMD). The secondary objective was to investigate the effect of linagliptin treatment on arginine bioavailability ratios [Global arginine bioavailability ratio (GABR) and arginine to ornithine ratio (AOR)]. Arginine, ornithine and citrulline were measured in serum samples with a conventional usual amino acid analysis technique, involving separation of amino acids by ion exchange chromatography followed by postcolumn continuous reaction with ninhydrin. GABR was calculated by l-arginine divided by the sum of (l-ornithine plus l-citrulline). The AOR was calculated by dividing l-arginine by l-ornithine levels. Group comparisons were calculated by using a two-sample t-test with Satterthwaite adjustment for unequal variances. Results We investigated 43 patients (21% female) with a mean age of 63.3 ± 8.2 years. FMD at baseline was 3.5 ± 3.1% in the linagliptin group vs. 4.0 ± 2.9% in the placebo group. The change in mean FMD in the linagliptin group was not significantly different compared to the change in the placebo group (0.43 ± 4.84% vs. − 0.45 ± 3.01%; p = 0.486). No significant improvements were seen in the arginine bioavailability ratios (GABR; p = 0.608 and AOR; p = 0.549). Conclusion Linagliptin treatment in subjects with CAD and early T2DM did not improve endothelial function or the arginine bioavailability ratios.

Abstract
Multiple population based analyses have demonstrated a high incidence of cardiovascular disease (CVD) and cardiovascular (CV) mortality in subjects with T2DM that reduces life expectancy by as much as 15 years. Importantly, the CV system is particularly sensitive to the metabolic and immune derangements present in obese pre-diabetic and diabetic individuals; consequently, CV dysfunction is often the initial CV derangement to occur and promotes the progression to end organ/tissue damage in T2DM. Specifically, diabetic CVD can manifest as microvascular complications, such as nephropathy, retinopathy, and neuropathy, as well as, macrovascular impairments, including ischemic heart disease, peripheral vascular disease, and cerebrovascular disease. Despite some progress in prevention and treatment of CVD, mainly via blood pressure and dyslipidemia control strategies, the impact of metabolic disease on CV outcomes is still a major challenge and persists in proportion to the epidemics of obesity and diabetes. There is abundant pre-clinical and clinical evidence implicating the DPP-4-incretin axis in CVD. In this regard, linagliptin is a unique DPP-4 inhibitor with both CV and renal safety profiles. Moreover, it exerts beneficial CV effects beyond glycemic control and beyond class effects. Linagliptin is protective for both macrovascular and microvascular complications of diabetes in preclinical models, as well as clinical models. Given the role of endothelial-immune cell interactions as one of the key events in the initiation and progression of CVD, linagliptin modulates these cell–cell interactions by affecting two important pathways involving stimulation of NO signaling and potent inhibition of a key immunoregulatory molecule.
