Platelet microRNA-15b protects against high platelet reactivity in patients undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention through Bcl-2-mediated platelet apoptosis.

ABSTRACT: Background:High platelet reactivity (HPR) and low platelet reactivity (LPR) are associated with an increased risk of ischemic/bleeding events in patients undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). The role platelet miRNAs carry out in platelet reactivity regulation is largely unknown. Methods:In this study, we profiled the expression pattern of platelet miRNA in patients undergoing PCI with HPR (n=4) and LPR (n=4) by miRNA microarray screening. The candidate miRNAs were further validated in a larger sample of 17 LPR and 22 HPR patients by quantitative reverse-transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR), and miR-15b was found differentially expressed. MiR-15b mimic and inhibitor were transfected into MEG-01 cells, then Bcl-2 protein expression and cell apoptosis were assessed. The relationship between platelet reactivity and platelet apoptosis was further evaluated. ABT-737, a Bcl-2 inhibitor was used to induce platelet apoptosis in PCI patients in vitro, and the influence of enhanced platelet apoptosis on platelet reactivity was explored. Results:Two miRNAs were found to be differentially expressed in patients with LPR and HPR using microarray system. Furthermore, the expression of miR-15b, a miRNA known to induce cell apoptosis via targeting of Bcl-2, was confirmed by RT-qPCR (P=0.020) to be 1.4× higher in the platelets of LPR patients than in those of HPR patients. Overexpression of miR-15b was demonstrated to suppress Bcl-2 protein expression and enhance cell apoptosis in a megakaryocyte cell line (MEG-01). The platelets of LPR patients expressed lower levels of Bcl-2 protein than those of HPR patients, and an inverse relationship between platelet reactivity and platelet apoptosis was observed among 44 patients who underwent PCI. Inducing platelet apoptosis in PCI patients in vitro, we observed that their platelet reactivity was decreased in a dose-dependent manner. Conclusions:Through the promotion of platelet apoptosis, platelet miR-15b negatively regulates platelet reactivity in patients undergoing PCI. Platelet apoptosis may represent a novel antiplatelet target for overcoming HPR in PCI treatment.

Project description:BackgroundEast Asian patients receiving treatment with the potent P2Y12 inhibitors prasugrel or ticagrelor experience more potent platelet inhibition than with clopidogrel.MethodsThis study investigated differences in OPR rates with reduced doses of prasugrel (n = 38) or ticagrelor (n = 40) for maintenance therapy in 118 Korean ACS patients who had undergone PCI, in comparison to conventional-dose clopidogrel (n = 40). We assessed drug responses at one- and three-months post-PCI with VerifyNow and multiple electrode aggregometry assays.ResultsAt the one-month period, patients receiving standard-dose prasugrel or ticagrelor had lower platelet reactivity as determined by the three assays than those receiving the conventional dose of clopidogrel (VN: p = 0.000; MEA: p = 0.000; LTA: p = 0.000). At the 3-month point, platelet reactivity was lower in those receiving reduced-dose prasugrel or ticagrelor than the clopidogrel-treated patients (VN: p = 0.000; MEA: p = 0.012; LTA: p = 0.002). Prasugrel resulted in significantly lower platelet inhibition than ticagrelor as determined by VN and LTA (VN: p = 0.000; LTA: p = 0.003). At three months, there was a significant overall difference in OPR among the three groups when measured by VN (p < 0.001), but not when measured by MEA (p = 0.596). OPR in the reduced-dose prasugrel group was not significantly different to the clopidogrel group at three months (VN: p = 0.180; MEA: p = 0.711). OPR in the reduced-dose ticagrelor group was similar to clopidogrel as determined by MEA at three months, but was different when assessed by VN (VN: p = 0.000; MEA: p = 0.540). Compared to standard-dose, the reduced-dose prasugrel OPR rate was significantly increased (VN: p = 0.008; MEA: p = 0.020).ConclusionsOPR values for reduced-dose prasugrel and conventional-dose clopidogrel at three months were similar but higher than for reduced-dose ticagrelor as determined by VN, but no differences were noted by MEA. The MEA assay might have less sensitivity and consistency than the VN assay. Further studies are needed to explore this discrepancy.

Project description:BACKGROUND: Cilostazol overcomes high on-treatment platelet reactivity (HTPR) and reduces adverse cardiovascular (CV) outcomes after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). However, the role for triple antiplatelet therapy (TAPT) with cilostazol in addition to aspirin and clopidogrel after PCI is not well defined. METHODS: We conducted a MEDLINE/EMBASE/CENTRAL search for randomised trials, until May 2014, evaluating TAPT compared with dual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT) of aspirin and clopidogrel alone in patients undergoing PCI and reporting platelet reactivity and/or CV outcomes. The primary platelet reactivity outcome was differences in platelet reactivity unit (PRU) with secondary outcomes of %platelet inhibition and rate of HTPR. The primary CV outcome was major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE), with secondary outcomes of death, cardiovascular death, myocardial infarction, stent thrombosis (ST), target lesion revascularisation (TLR) and target vessel revascularisation (TVR) as well as safety outcomes of bleeding and drug discontinuations. RESULTS: In 17 trials that evaluated platelet reactivity outcomes, the mean PRU value was 47.73 units lower with TAPT versus DAPT (95% CI -61.41 to -34.04, p<0.0001; mean PRU 182.90 vs 232.65). TAPT also increased platelet inhibition by 12.71% (95% CI 10.76 to 14.67, p<0.0001), and led to a 60% reduction in the risk of HTPR (relative risk=0.40; 95% CI 0.30 to 0.53) compared with DAPT. Moreover, among the 34 trials that evaluated CV outcomes, TAPT reduced the risk of MACE (incident rate ratio (IRR)=0.68; 95% CI 0.60 to 0.78), TLR (IRR=0.57; 95% CI 0.44 to 0.73), TVR (IRR=0.69; 95% CI 0.59 to 0.81) and ST (IRR=0.63; 95% CI 0.40 to 0.98) with no difference for other outcomes including bleeding, even in trials using drug-eluting stents. Drug discontinuation due to adverse effects was, however, higher with TAPT vs DAPT (IRR=1.59; 95% CI 1.32 to 1.91). CONCLUSIONS: In patients undergoing PCI, addition of cilostazol to DAPT results in decreased platelet reactivity and a significant reduction in CV outcomes including ST, even in the drug-eluting stent era.
