Association between individual cholesterol and proteinuria response and exposure to atorvastatin or rosuvastatin.

ABSTRACT:

Aim

The PLANET trials showed that atorvastatin 80 mg but not rosuvastatin at either 10 or 40 mg reduced urinary protein to creatinine ratio (UPCR) at similar effects on LDL-cholesterol. However, individual changes in both UPCR and LDL-cholesterol during treatment with these statins varied widely between patients. This inter-individual variability could not be explained by patients' physical or biochemical characteristics. We assessed whether the plasma concentrations of both statins were associated with LDL-cholesterol and UPCR response.

Materials and methods

The PLANET trials randomized patients with a UPCR of 500-5000 mg/g and fasting LDL-cholesterol >2.33 mmol/L to a 52-week treatment with atorvastatin 80 mg, rosuvastatin 10 mg or 40 mg. For the current analysis, patients with available samples at week 52 and treatment compliance >80% by pill count were included (N = 295). The main outcome measurements were percentage change in UPCR and absolute change in LDL-cholesterol (delta LDL) from baseline to week 52.

Results

Median (interquartile range) plasma concentration at week 52 for atorvastatin 80 mg was 3.9 ng/mL (IQR: 2.1 to 8.7), for rosuvastatin 10 mg 1.0 ng/mL (IQR: 0.7 to 2.0) and for rosuvastatin 40 mg 3.5 ng/mL (IQR: 2.0 to 6.8). Higher plasma concentration of statin was associated with larger LDL-cholesterol reductions at week 52 [rosuvastatin r = -0.40 (P < .001); atorvastatin r = -0.28 (P = .006)]. The plasma concentration of both statins did not correlate with UPCR change [rosuvastatin r = 0.07 (P = .30); atorvastatin r = 0.16 (P = .13)].

Conclusions

Individual variation in plasma concentrations of rosuvastatin and atorvastatin was associated with LDL-cholesterol changes in patients. The individual variation in UPCR change was not associated with the plasma concentration of both statins.

Project description:Dyslipidemia, atherosclerosis, and cardiovascular events can be prevented, or treated, using statins, alone or in combination with ezetimibe. The aim of the study was to compare the direct pleiotropic effects of two commonly-used statins (atorvastatin, rosuvastatin), ezetimibe and their combinations on endothelial cells damaged by oxidized cholesterol. HUVEC cultures were stimulated for 20 hours with atorvastatin (5 μM; 2793 ng/mL), rosuvastatin (10 μM; 4815 ng/mL), ezetimibe (1.22 μM; 500 ng/mL), atorvastatin plus ezetimibe (5 μM + 1.22 μM; 2793 ng/mL + 500 ng/mL) and rosuvastatin plus ezetimibe (10 μM + 1.22 μM; 4815 ng/mL + 500ng/mL) in separate groups, with or without 25-hydroxycholesterol pre-incubation (24.83 μM; 10 μg/mL; four hours then washout). HUVEC integrity was measured in the RTCA-DP xCELLigence system. The mRNA expression and protein levels of ZO-1, OCLN, ICAM-1 were analyzed by real-time PCR and ELISA. Pre-incubation with 25-OHC resulted in decreased endothelial cell integrity (p<0.001), decreased expression of ZO-1 mRNA (p<0.05) and protein levels (p<0.05), OCLN mRNA (p<0.05) and protein levels (p<0.05) and increased ICAM-1 mRNA (p<0.001) and protein levels (p<0.001) compared to the control group. Incubation with rosuvastatin (12h p<0.01; 24h p<0.001) and atorvastatin (only 12h p<0.05) restored HUVEC integrity. Subsequent incubation with rosuvastatin increased ZO-1 mRNA (p<0.001) and protein (p<0.001) levels. Subsequent addition of ezetimibe increased ZO-1 mRNA level (p<0.001) but not protein level. Furthermore, only incubation with rosuvastatin increased OCLN mRNA (p<0.05) and protein (p<0.05) levels. In each drug-stimulated group, both ICAM-1 mRNA and protein levels were reduced after initial incubation with oxysterol (p<0.05). 25-hydroxycholesterol disrupts endothelial integrity, decreases the mRNA and protein levels of tight junction, and increases those of intercellular adhesion molecules. Both rosuvastatin and atorvastatin can improve endothelial integrity, but only rosuvastatin can completely abolish the effect of oxysterol. The combination of statins with ezetimibe has less direct effect on the endothelial barrier than the statins alone.

Project description:ObjectiveTo analyze the efficacy and safety of loading-dose atorvastatin and rosuvastatin in the treatment of cerebral infarction (CI).MethodsA total of 151 CI patients treated at the Third Affiliated Hospital of Qiqihar Medical University from January 2015 to February 2020 retrospectively were selected and divided into four groups: conventional atorvastatin, loading-dose atorvastatin, conventional rosuvastatin, and loading-dose rosuvastatin. Primary outcomes assessed included changes in National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) scores, clinical efficacy, alterations in serum lipid indices, liver function, inflammation markers, CI indices, and the incidence of adverse reactions.ResultsAfter treatment, all groups showed a significant decrease in NIHSS scores (all P<0.0001). The loading-dose groups exhibited greater reductions in NIHSS scores compared to the conventional groups (both P<0.0001). No significant difference was found in NIHSS scores between the two loading-dose groups (P>0.05). The loading-dose groups demonstrated higher efficacy than the conventional groups (both P<0.05), with no significant difference between the two loading-dose groups (both P>0.05). Loading-dose rosuvastatin showed superior improvement in blood lipid control compared to loading-dose atorvastatin (P<0.05). There were no significant differences in liver function indices among the groups (all P>0.05). Inflammation and myocardial indices intensified 24 hours after treatment, with milder intensification in the loading-dose rosuvastatin group compared to the loading-dose atorvastatin group (P<0.05). The incidences of adverse reactions did not significantly differ among the groups (all P>0.05).ConclusionBoth loading-dose atorvastatin and rosuvastatin demonstrated increased clinical efficacy in the treatment of CI patients, ensuring safety and effectiveness. However, rosuvastatin exhibited superior efficacy in blood lipid control. These findings provide valuable guidance for the clinical management of CI.
