Vascular and metabolic effects of SGLT2i and GLP-1 in heart failure patients

Michele Correale et al.

Summary: Alterations in endothelial function, inflammatory activation, and nitric oxide-cGMP pathway play a role in the pathophysiology of heart failure. Sodium-glucose co-transporter 2 inhibitors (SGLT2i) and glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor agonists (RAs) have emerged as potential treatments for heart failure, but their protective mechanisms are not fully understood.

Empagliflozin improves endothelial and cardiomyocyte function in human heart failure with preserved ejection fraction via reduced pro-inflammatory-oxidative pathways and protein kinase Gα oxidation

Detmar Kolijn et al.

Summary: This study demonstrated that empagliflozin reduces inflammation and oxidative stress in patients with HFpEF, thereby improving the NO-sGC-cGMP cascade and PKGI alpha activity. This leads to a decrease in pathological cardiomyocyte stiffness in HFpEF.

Novel Anti-inflammatory Effects of Canagliflozin Involving Hexokinase II in Lipopolysaccharide-Stimulated Human Coronary Artery Endothelial Cells

Laween Uthman et al.

Summary: This study demonstrates that the SGLT2 inhibitor Canagliflozin exerts anti-inflammatory effects in LPS-treated HCAECs by reducing HKII and ERK1/2 phosphorylation, and through AMPK activation. Empagliflozin and Dapagliflozin did not show similar effects on IL-6 release and HKII expression in the model used.

Empagliflozin protects the heart against ischemia/reperfusion-induced sudden cardiac death

Zhaoyang Hu et al.

Summary: Empagliflozin pretreatment protects the heart from severe lethal ventricular arrhythmia induced by myocardial ischemia and reperfusion injury. These protective benefits may occur as a consequence of activation of the ERK1/2-dependent cell-survival signaling pathway in a glucose-independent manner.

Enhanced Expression and Function of Renal SGLT2 (Sodium-Glucose Cotransporter 2) in Heart Failure: Role of Renal Nerves

Kenichi Katsurada et al.

Summary: The study found that enhanced renal sympathetic tone in heart failure increases the expression and functional activity of renal SGLT2. Norepinephrine promoted the trafficking of SGLT2 to the cell membrane. Renal denervation performed four weeks after coronary artery ligation surgery attenuated renal SGLT2 expression and normalized renal functional responses to SGLT2 inhibitor.

Inflammation and Oxidative Stress in Diabetic Kidney Disease: The Targets for SGLT2 Inhibitors and GLP-1 Receptor Agonists

Agata Winiarska et al.

Summary: The incidence of diabetic kidney disease (DKD) in patients with type 2 diabetes is increasing globally. Sodium-glucose cotransporter-2 inhibitors (SGLT2i) and glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor (GLP-1R) agonists have been shown to have nephroprotective effects in patients with established DKD, beyond just improving metabolic control of diabetes. The interactions of these agents with inflammation and oxidative stress appear to have a universal mechanism of organ protection in diabetes and other diseases.

Nunzia D'Onofrio et al.

Summary: The study demonstrated that SGLT2 inhibitors have a positive regulatory effect on atherosclerotic plaques in diabetic patients, showing significant improvements in inflammation and oxidative stress. Patients without diabetes had significantly higher overall survival from MACE at 2-year follow-up, while diabetic patients using SGLT2 inhibitors had a significantly lower rate of MACE over 2 years compared to non-users.

Summary: Empagliflozin can prevent atherosclerosis by repressing inflammation and sympathetic activity. Results showed that empagliflozin significantly reduced inflammatory levels, RAAS, and sympathetic activity in vivo. In vitro studies also demonstrated that empagliflozin could inhibit IL-1 beta expression in oxLDL-treated macrophages by regulating NF-kappa B signaling.
