Novel genes in LDL metabolism

• L’heretabilitat dels nivells de LDL colesterol és de 40-50%.

• La primera alteració genètica es va descobrir amb l’alteració del

LDL-receptor en HF.

• Genomic wide Association studies (GWAS) han permès identificar

més de 157 locis associats a alteracions de nivells lipídics en

plasma. (30 amb nivells de LDLque explicarien un 12-15% de les

variacions de LDL )

GWAS/Seqüenciació exoma

• Resumeix les troballes més recents de “Genomic Wide association studies” (GWAS), la seqüenciació de l’exoma de pacients amb hipercolesterolèmia familiar assenyalen nous gens en el metabolisme del colesterol-LDL.

• El loci per ABCT (ATP-binding cassette transporter G5 i G8), Niemann-Pick C1-like protein 1, sortilin-1, ABO grup sanguini glicosiltranferases i d’altres s’associen amb nivells de LDL i malaltia coronària.

• La descoberta de nous gens mitjançant el GWAS permetrà millorar la comprensió dels mecanismes metabòlics de les LDL i identificar noves dianes terapèutiques.

GWAS/Seqüenciació exoma

• En pacients amb hipercolesterolèmia familiar

• En HF homozigota s’ha trobat una variant de la lipasa àcida

lisosomal A

• La LIPA comportaria malaltia autosomica recessiva que acumularia

lípids hepàtics i esplènics i comportaria malaltia coronària precoç.

• Altres nous gens implicats inclourien el gen insulin-induced, patatin-

like fosfolipasa... Aquestes troballes encara han de correlacionar-se

amb estudis funcionals per a confirmar el paper en el LDL-colesterol

• Fàrmacs que augmenten HDL han fracassat en la reducció

• Avaluant quantitativament HDL en pacients en diferents tts

(fenofibrat vs niacina/laropiprant) no hi ha diferències

• Conclusió: niacina o fenofibrat, no reverteixen les anomalies

We assessed the safety, pharmacokinetics, and

pharmacological eff ects of ISIS-APO(a)Rx in healthy

volunteers.

MethodsStudy design and participantsThis randomised, placebo-controlled, double-blind,

phase 1 study was done at the PAREXEL Clinical

Pharmacology Research Unit (Harrow, Middlesex, UK).

We tested ascending doses of ISIS-APO(a)Rx in healthy

adults, aged 18–65 years, with body-mass index (BMI)

less than 32∙ 0 kg/m² and Lp(a) concentration of

25 nmol/L (100 mg/L) or more. To be included, women

had to not be pregnant and not lactating and either

surgically sterile (eg, tubal occlusion, hysterectomy,

bilateral salpingectomy, bilateral oophorectomy) or

postmenopausal, whereas men had to be surgically

sterile, abstinent, or, if engaged in sexual relations of

childbearing potential, must have been using an

acceptable contraceptive method during treatment and

for at least 30 days (single-dose groups) or 12 weeks

(multi-dose groups) after the last dose. Further exclusion

Figure 1: Mechanism by which ISIS-APO(a)Rx suppresses apo(a) protein synthesis

A ubiquitous intracellular ribonuclease RNase H1 recognises the RNA:DNA duplex formed when ISIS-APO(a)Rx binds to the complementary apo(a) mRNA sequence

and cleaves the target, thereby reducing apo(a) protein and preventing generation of Lp(a) particles. TG=triglyceride. PL=phospholipid. FC=free cholesterol.

CE=cholesteryl ester. KIV=kringle IV repeats. KV=kringle V repeat. OxPL=oxidizsed phospholipid. apo(a)=apolipoprotein(a). apoB- 100=apolipoprotein B-100.

Received 10 June 2015; revised 22 September 2015; accepted 6 November 2015

A im We tested the hypothesis that statin-related newsstories, cardiovascular disease, diabetes, statin dose, calendar year,

and socio-demographic status are associated with early statin discontinuation. We also examined frequency and con-

sequences of early statin discontinuation.

Met hods

and result s

From the entireDanish population, westudied 674 900 individuals aged 40 or older who were initiated on statin ther-

apy in 1995–2010, and followed them until 31 December 2011. Individuals on statins increased from , 1%in 1995 to

11%in 2010, while early statin discontinuation increased from 6%in 1995 to 18%in 2010. The odds ratios for early

statin discontinuation vs. continued use were 1.09 (95%confidence interval, 1.06–1.12) for negative statin-related

newsstories,1.04 (1.02–1.07) per increasingcalendar year,1.04 (1.02–1.06) per increasingdefined dailydoseof statin,

continuation were 1.26 (1.21–1.30) for myocardial infarction and 1.18 (1.14–1.23) for death from cardiovascular

disease.

CLINICAL RESEARCHPrevention and epidemiology

Negative stat in-related news stories decrease

stat in persistence and increase myocardial

infarction and cardiovascular mortality:

a nationwide prospective cohort study

Sune Fallgaard Nielsen and Børge Grønne Nordestgaard*

Department of Clinical Biochemistry, 54M1, Herlev and Gentofte Hospital, Copenhagen University Hospital, Faculty of Health and Medical Sciences, University of Copenhagen,

Herlev Ringvej 75, DK-2730 Herlev, Denmark

Received 10 June 2015; revised 22 September 2015; accepted 6 November 2015

A im We tested the hypothesis that statin-related newsstories, cardiovascular disease, diabetes, statin dose, calendar year,

and socio-demographic status are associated with early statin discontinuation. We also examined frequency and con-

sequences of early statin discontinuation.

Met hods

and result s

From the entireDanish population, westudied 674 900 individuals aged 40 or older who were initiated on statin ther-

apy in 1995–2010, and followed them until 31 December 2011. Individuals on statins increased from , 1%in 1995 to

11%in 2010, while early statin discontinuation increased from 6%in 1995 to 18%in 2010. The odds ratios for early

statin discontinuation vs. continued use were 1.09 (95%confidence interval, 1.06–1.12) for negative statin-related

newsstories,1.04 (1.02–1.07) per increasingcalendar year,1.04 (1.02–1.06) per increasingdefined dailydoseof statin,

1.05 (1.03–1.06) for malesex,1.13 (1.11–1.15) for livingincities,1.67 (1.63–1.71) for other ethnicity thanDanish,0.92

(0.90–0.94) for positive statin-related news stories, 0.73 (0.72–0.74) for baseline cardiovascular disease, and 0.91

(0.90–0.93) for baseline diabetes. During follow-up, the hazard ratios for individuals with vs. without early statin dis-

continuation were 1.26 (1.21–1.30) for myocardial infarction and 1.18 (1.14–1.23) for death from cardiovascular

disease.

Conclusion Early statin discontinuation increased with negativestatin-related newsstories, calendar year, statin dose, malesex, liv-

ing in cities, and with other ethnicity than Danish, while the opposite wastrue for positive statin-related newsstories

and for baselinecardiovascular disease and diabetes. Earlystatin discontinuation wasalso associated with increased risk

of myocardial infarction and death from cardiovascular disease.- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -Keywords Statin compliance † Myocardial infarction † Death from cardiovascular disease † Statin-related news stories
