Background: Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is the main cause of death among hemodialysis (HD) patients. The effects of the dipeptidyl peptidase-4 inhibitor teneligliptin on CVD-related biomarkers in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) receiving HD treatment are poorly understood. To determine whether teneligliptin has anti-CVD properties, we assessed its effects on soluble P-selectin (sP-selectin), platelet-derived microparticles (PDMPs), plasminogen activator inhibitor 1 (PAI-1), soluble E-selectin (sE-selectin), soluble vascular adhesion molecule 1 (sVCAM-1), and adiponectin plasma levels in HD and non-HD patients with T2DM.
Methods: Patients with T2DM eligible for teneligliptin monotherapy or combination therapy (eg, teneligliptin plus a sulfonylurea) were administered teneligliptin (20 mg/d) once daily for 6 months. Plasma levels of sP-selectin, PDMPs, PAI-1, sE-selectin, sVCAM-1, and adiponectin were measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay at baseline and after 3 months and 6 months of treatment.
Results: Teneligliptin therapy significantly reduced plasma levels of sP-selectin, PDMPs, and PAI-1 compared with baseline levels, while significantly increasing adiponectin levels. sE-selectin and sVCAM-1 levels were significantly decreased only at 6 months. The reduction in sP-selectin, PDMPs, and PAI-1 was more significant in HD patients than in non-HD patients. However, the improvement in adiponectin levels was unchanged with HD treatment.
Conclusion: By modulating PDMPs or PAI-1, teneligliptin shows an antiatherothrombotic effect that may be beneficial in the primary prevention of CVD in patients with T2DM on HD.
