Abstract
Adenosine is an endogenous nucleoside that regulates many physiological and pathological processes. It is derived from either the intracellular or extracellular dephosphorylation of adenosine triphosphate and interacts with cell-surface G-protein-coupled receptors. Adenosine plays a substantial role in protecting against cell damage in areas of increased tissue metabolism and preventing organ dysfunction in pathological states. Targeting adenosine metabolism and receptor signaling may be an effective therapeutic approach for human diseases, including cardiovascular and central nervous system disorders, rheumatoid arthritis, asthma, renal diseases, and cancer. Several lines of evidence have shown that many drugs exert their beneficial effects by modulating adenosine signaling pathways but this knowledge urgently needs to be summarized, and most importantly, actualized. The present review collects pharmaceuticals and pharmacological or diagnostic tools that target adenosine signaling in their primary or secondary mode of action. We overviewed FDA-approved drugs as well as those currently being studied in clinical trials. Among them are already used in clinic A2A adenosine receptor modulators like istradefylline or regadenoson, but also plenty of anti-platelet, anti-inflammatory, or immunosuppressive, and anti-cancer drugs. On the other hand, we investigated dozens of specific adenosine pathway regulators that are tested in clinical trials to treat human infectious and noninfectious diseases. In conclusion, targeting purinergic signaling represents a great therapeutic challenge. The actual knowledge of the involvement of adenosinergic signaling as part of the mechanism of action of old drugs has open a path not only for drug-repurposing but also for new therapeutic strategies.

Lizano-Díez I, Paz Ruiz S. Analysis of the Financial Impact of Using Cangrelor on the Safety and Efficacy Outcomes in Patients Undergoing Percutaneous Coronary Intervention in Whom Oral Therapy with P2Y 12 Inhibitors is Not Feasible or Desirable, in Spain. CLINICOECONOMICS AND OUTCOMES RESEARCH 2021; 13:77-87. [PMID: 33536769 PMCID: PMC7850430 DOI: 10.2147/ceor.s290377] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/04/2020] [Accepted: 01/01/2021] [Indexed: 11/23/2022] Open
Abstract
Purpose Cangrelor is an intravenous, direct-acting, reversible P2Y12 inhibitor indicated for the reduction of thrombotic cardiovascular events in patients with coronary artery disease (CAD) undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) in whom oral P2Y12 inhibitors are not feasible or desirable. The objective was to assess the financial impact of introducing cangrelor into the hospital formulary in Spain. Patients and Methods A budget impact model was developed to calculate the cost difference between two scenarios (without and with cangrelor) to treat CAD patients undergoing PCI in whom oral P2Y12 inhibitors are not feasible or desirable, over 3 years. Intravenous P2Y12 inhibitor (cangrelor), oral P2Y12 inhibitors (clopidogrel, prasugrel, and ticagrelor), and glycoprotein IIb-IIIa inhibitors (GPIs) for bail-out use were considered. Epidemiological, efficacy (thrombotic events including cardiac death), safety (bleeding events), and costs (€, 2019) data were based on Spanish registries, clinical trials, and meta-analyses. One-way sensitivity analysis established the effect of uncertainty on results. Results For years 1, 2, and 3, the target population to receive cangrelor was 607, 1,822, and 3,340 patients, and cangrelor uptake was 23.70%, 58.30%, and 51.30%, respectively. The 3-year budget impact was 1,021,717€ varying from 50,245€ in year 1 to 599,272€ in year 3. The results were sensitive to the number of patients treated with GPIs in Spanish hospitals. Conclusion Based on our results, the financial effort needed to introduce the use of cangrelor in patients undergoing PCI in whom antiplatelet therapy with oral P2Y12 inhibitors is not feasible or desirable barely exceeds one million € over three years, in Spain.

Abstract
Ischemic heart disease is the leading cause of morbidity and mortality in the world. While pharmacological and surgical interventions developed in the late twentieth century drastically improved patient outcomes, mortality rates over the last two decades have begun to plateau. Following ischemic injury, pathological remodeling leads to cardiomyocyte loss and fibrosis leading to impaired heart function. Cardiomyocyte turnover rate in the adult heart is limited, and no clinical therapies currently exist to regenerate cardiomyocytes lost following ischemic injury. In this review, we summarize the progress of therapeutic strategies including revascularization and cell-based interventions to regenerate the heart: transiently inducing cardiomyocyte proliferation and direct reprogramming of fibroblasts into cardiomyocytes. Moreover, we highlight recent mechanistic insights governing these strategies to promote heart regeneration and identify current challenges in translating these approaches to human patients.

[PMID: 32001263 DOI: 10.1016/j.lfs.2020.117364] [Citation(s) in RCA: 9] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/19/2019] [Revised: 01/17/2020] [Accepted: 01/25/2020] [Indexed: 02/06/2023]
Abstract
AIMS To investigate the impact of microRNA target SNPs (mirSNPs) and their interaction with miRNAs on important drug-metabolizing enzymes, transporters and target genes for prediction of clopidogrel drug response in cardiovascular disease individuals. MAIN METHODS A prospective cross-sectional study was conducted on 292 individuals undergoing clopidogrel drug therapy. All the enrolled participants were administered 300 mg loading dose followed by 75 mg dose of maintenance therapy. Platelet aggregations were measured before administration of the loading dose and 2 h post fifth day dose of clopidogrel maintenance therapy. Clopidogrel carboxylic acid metabolite from plasma and urine were analyzed post maintenance therapy using the RP-HPLC method. Genotyping of mirSNP's shortlisted through in silico analysis was performed by tetra ARMS PCR and validated by Sanger DNA sequencing. The levels of selected miRNAs were estimated by the TaqMan-PCR assay. Functional validation of mirSNPs was performed in HepG2 cells after transfecting with the selected gene and miRNA mimics. Protein expressions were analyzed by western blot. KEY FINDINGS 23% of enrolled individuals showed resistance to clopidogrel therapy. Out of 13 mirSNP's analyzed, CYP2C19 rs4244285 was associated with clopidogrel drug resistance and clopidogrel carboxylic acid metabolite in urine and plasma. hsa-miR-1343-3p and hsa-miR-6783-3p levels were significantly high in individuals with CYP2C19 rs4244285 mutant genotype and these miRNAs down-regulated the protein expression of CYP2C19. SIGNIFICANCE We demonstrated the role of coding mirSNP (rs4244285) in the regulation of the CYP2C19 gene through miRNAs and its implications to clopidogrel drug response prediction in the Indian population.

Abstract
Evans syndrome (ES) is a rare combination of autoimmune hemolytic anemia and thrombocytopenia. This case report details an old male ES patient with acute myocardial infarction. He was successfully treated by primary percutaneous coronary intervention in the case of low hemoglobin level (60 g/L). Considering ES recurrence after surgery, he was given human immunoglobulin, methyl prednisolone and TPO treatment. On the basis of his platelet count, the patient was required to take only one anti-platelet drug or stop all anti-platelet drugs. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report of ES with AMI. This case suggests that primary PCI can be a useful therapeutic strategy even if patient has low hemoglobin level, but careful balance between anti-platelet therapy and efforts to raise platelet count are needed after surgery.

Abstract
The proper use of antiplatelet agents in the cardiac catheterization laboratory is important for ensuring optimal results in patients undergoing percutaneous revascularization. Understanding the mechanisms by which these drugs exerts their effects is important for both interventional and non-interventional cardiologists. The effects of these agents on platelet function can be assessed and monitored using a variety of commercially available laboratory assays but so far these tests have not been adopted in routine clinical practice. Currently, aspirin, thienopyridines and glycoprotein IIb/IIIa inhibitors are the primary types of antiplatelet drugs being utilized. The use of these drugs and of several newer antiplatelet drugs in the treatment of patients undergoing percutaneous revascularization in the cardiac catheterization laboratory will be discussed, especially in the light of the recently published guidelines.
