Összefoglaló szövege

Introduction: Dipeptidyl-peptidase-4 (DPP4) inhibitors are novel medicines of diabetes. The SAVOR-TIMI-53 clinical trial revealed an increased heart failure (HF)-associated hospitalization in saxagliptin-treated patients. Although this side effect could limit the therapeutic use, the mechanism of this potential cardiotoxicity is unclear. Aims: We aimed to establish a cellular platform to investigate DPP4 inhibition, and the role of its neuropeptide substrates Substance P (SP) and Neuropeptide Y (NPY), and to determine the expression of DDP4 and its neuropeptide substrates in the human heart. Methods: Western blot, radio-, enzyme-linked immuno- and RNA Scope assays were performed to investigate the expression of DPP4 and its substrates in human hearts. Calcein-based viability measurements and scratch assays were used to test the potential toxicity of DPP4 inhibitors. Results: Cardiac expression of DPP4 and NPY decreased in HF patients. In human hearts DPP4 mRNA is detectable mainly in cardiomyocytes and endothelium. Treatment with DPP4 inhibitors alone/in combination with neuropeptides didn’t affect viability but in scratch assays neuropeptides decreased, while saxagliptin co-administration increased fibroblast migration in isolated neonatal rat cardiomyocyte-fibroblast co-culture. Conclusion: Decreased DPP4 activity takes part in the pathophysiology of end-stage HF. DPP4 compensates against the elevated sympathetic activity and altered neuropeptide tone. Its inhibition decreases this adaptive mechanism, thereby exacerbating myocardial damage.
