Renoprotective effect of combined inhibition of angiotensin-converting enzyme and histone deacetylase.

ABSTRACT: The Connectivity Map database contains microarray signatures of gene expression derived from approximately 6000 experiments that examined the effects of approximately 1300 single drugs on several human cancer cell lines. We used these data to prioritize pairs of drugs expected to reverse the changes in gene expression observed in the kidneys of a mouse model of HIV-associated nephropathy (Tg26 mice). We predicted that the combination of an angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitor and a histone deacetylase inhibitor would maximally reverse the disease-associated expression of genes in the kidneys of these mice. Testing the combination of these inhibitors in Tg26 mice revealed an additive renoprotective effect, as suggested by reduction of proteinuria, improvement of renal function, and attenuation of kidney injury. Furthermore, we observed the predicted treatment-associated changes in the expression of selected genes and pathway components. In summary, these data suggest that the combination of an ACE inhibitor and a histone deacetylase inhibitor could have therapeutic potential for various kidney diseases. In addition, this study provides proof-of-concept that drug-induced expression signatures have potential use in predicting the effects of combination drug therapy.

Project description:BackgroundThe cardiorenal effects of sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 inhibition (empagliflozin 25 mg QD) combined with angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibition (ramipril 10 mg QD) were assessed in this mechanistic study in patients with type 1 diabetes with potential renal hyperfiltration.MethodsThirty patients (out of 31 randomized) completed this double-blind, placebo-controlled, crossover trial. Recruitment was stopped early because of an unexpectedly low proportion of patients with hyperfiltration. Measurements were obtained after each of the 6 treatment phases over 19 weeks: (1) baseline without treatment, (2) 4-week run-in with ramipril treatment alone, (3) 4-week combined empagliflozin-ramipril treatment, (4) a 4-week washout, (5) 4-week combined placebo-ramipril treatment, and (6) 1-week follow-up. The primary end point was glomerular filtration rate (GFR) after combination treatment with empagliflozin-ramipril compared with placebo-ramipril. GFR was corrected for ramipril treatment alone before randomization. At the end of study phase, the following outcomes were measured under clamped euglycemia (4 to 6 mmol/L): inulin (GFR) and para-aminohippurate (effective renal plasma flow) clearances, tubular sodium handling, ambulatory blood pressure, arterial stiffness, heart rate variability, noninvasive cardiac output monitoring, plasma and urine biochemistry, markers of the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system, and oxidative stress.ResultsCombination treatment with empagliflozin-ramipril resulted in an 8 mL/min/1.73 m2 lower GFR compared with placebo-ramipril treatment (P=0.0061) without significant changes to effective renal plasma flow. GFR decrease was accompanied by a 21.3 mL/min lower absolute proximal fluid reabsorption rate (P=0.0092), a 3.1 mmol/min lower absolute proximal sodium reabsorption rate (P=0.0056), and a 194 ng/mmol creatinine lower urinary 8-isoprostane level (P=0.0084) relative to placebo-ramipril combination treatment. Sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitor/angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitor combination treatment resulted in additive blood pressure-lowering effects (clinic systolic blood pressure lower by 4 mm Hg [P=0.0112]; diastolic blood pressure lower by 3 mm Hg [P=0.0032]) in conjunction with a 94.5 dynes × sex/cm5 lower total peripheral resistance (P=0.0368). There were no significant changes observed to ambulatory blood pressure, arterial stiffness, heart rate variability, or cardiac output with the addition of empagliflozin.ConclusionsAdding sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitor treatment to angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitor resulted in an expected GFR dip, suppression of oxidative stress markers, additive declines in blood pressure and total peripheral resistance. These changes are consistent with a protective physiologic profile characterized by the lowering of intraglomerular pressure and related cardiorenal risk when adding a sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitor to conservative therapy.RegistrationURL: https://www.Clinicaltrialsgov; Unique identifier: NCT02632747.
