Time-dependent changes in non-COX-1-dependent platelet function with daily aspirin therapy.

ABSTRACT: To develop an integrated metric of non-COX-1-dependent platelet function (NCDPF) to measure the temporal response to aspirin in healthy volunteers and diabetics. NCDPF on aspirin demonstrates wide variability, despite suppression of COX-1. Although a variety of NCDPF assays are available, no standard exists and their reproducibility is not established. We administered 325 mg/day aspirin to two cohorts of volunteers (HV1, n = 52, and HV2, n = 96) and diabetics (DM, n = 74) and measured NCDPF using epinephrine, collagen, and ADP aggregometry and PFA100 (collagen/epi) before (Pre), after one dose (Post), and after several weeks (Final). COX-1 activity was assessed with arachidonic acid aggregometry (AAA). The primary outcome of the study, the platelet function score (PFS), was derived from a principal components analysis of NCDPF measures. The PFS strongly correlated with each measure of NCDPF in each cohort. After 2 or 4 weeks of daily aspirin the Final PFS strongly correlated (r > 0.7, P < 0.0001) and was higher (P < 0.01) than the Post PFS. The magnitude and direction of the change in PFS (Final–Post) in an individual subject was moderately inversely proportional to the Post PFS in HV1 (r = -0.45), HV2 (r = -0.54), DM (r = -0.68), P < 0.0001 for all. AAA remained suppressed during aspirin therapy. The PFS summarizes multiple measures of NCDPF. Despite suppression of COX-1 activity, NCDPF during aspirin therapy is predictably dynamic: those with heightened NCDPF continue to decline whereas those with low/normal NCDPF return to pre-aspirin levels over time.

Project description:Background: Identifying individuals at heightened cardiovascular risk is a priority for reducing the global burden of cardiovascular disease. Aspirin is widely used to prevent cardiovascular events, though with variable results. Therefore, we hypothesized that aspirin exposure would reveal novel biological pathways relevant to the development of cardiovascular events. Methods: We administered aspirin, followed by peripheral blood RNA microarray profiling, in a discovery cohort of healthy volunteers (n = 50, HV1), followed by two validation cohorts of healthy volunteers (n = 53, HV2) or outpatient cardiology (OPC, n = 25) patients, in conjunction with platelet function testing with the platelet functions score (PFS, HV1 and HV2) or the VerifyNow Asprin (VN, OPC) test. Sets of coexpressed genes, or “Factors” were identified via Bayesian sparse factor analysis and associated with platelet function in HV1 and validated in HV2 and OPC. Validated factors were associated with death/MI in observational (n = 191) and case:control (n = 447) patient cohorts with available RNA data collected at the time of cardiac catheterization. Results: Factor analysis yielded 20 Factors, of which one, Factor 14, contained 60 genes and was associated with PFS in HV1 (r = -0.31, p-value = 0.03). Factor 14 was associated with platelet function with the same strength and direction in HV2 (r = -0.34, p-value = 0.02) and OPC (one-sided p-value for aspirin resistant vs. aspirin sensitive = 0.046), thus validating the association. Factor 14 was associated with death/MI in the two patient cohorts, odds ratio (OR) = 1.2, 95% CI [1.02-1.4], p-value = 0.01 and hazard ratio = 1.5, [1.2-1.9], p = 0.001, respectively, independent of known cardiovascular risk factors (combined OR = 1.2, CI = [1.02, 1.4], p = 0.03). Factor 14 and the expression of the Factor 14 transcript most highly correlative of PFS, ITGA2B, improved reclassification compared to traditional risk factors (category-free net reclassification index = 31% and 37%, p ≤ 0.0002 for both). Conclusions: By challenging humans subjects with aspirin, a medication used for cardiovascular risk reduction, we elucidated genes and pathways that may underlie platelet function and mechanisms responsible for cardiovascular death/MI. This accession represents the OPC cohort microarray data 26 subjects selected for microarray analysis were divided into three groups: aspirin resistant (AR, n=8, >550 ARU), high normal (HN, n=9, ARU 500-549) and aspirin sensitive (AS, n=9, ARU<500)
