Abstract

Donepezil (DNPZ), an acetyl-cholinesterase inhibitor (AChEI), is widely used as a symptomatic drug in AD, given the involvement of cholinergic damage in the onset of memory loss. DNPZ, besides being able to improve acetylcholine (ACh) transmission, might have a neuroprotective effect reducing toxic Abeta fibrils and regulating the immune response. Considering that we previously showed a specific increase of plasma anti-Abeta1–42 antibodies in AD patients treated with AChEI, we evaluated in this study the role of DNPZ in favouring a Th2 phenotype, involved in modulating the immune humoral response. Moreover we hypothesized that this mechanism might be mediated by the a7-nicotinic ACh receptor expressed in lymphocytes. 60 patients with mild or moderate AD, either treated (n=22) or not (n=38) with DNPZ, and 30 controls were enrolled. AD DNPZ+ showed significantly higher plasma levels of anti-Abeta antibodies than DNPZ− (+40%) and lower levels of Abeta 1–42 than controls (−50%). In a subgroup of subjects, GATA-3, a transcription factor involved in Th2 differentiation, and a7nAChR expression was evaluated. No differences were found in GATA-3 mRNA in AD DNPZ+ when compared to DNPZ− and controls. On the opposite, we found by chromatine immunoprecipitation a significant three-fold increase of the association of GATA-3 with the IL-5-promoter in DNPZ+ patients, which also showed a significant twofold increase in a7-nAChR mRNA, with respect to DNPZ-ones. In vitro analyses demonstrated that the capacity of DNPZ to modulate GATA-3 expression is mediated by a7nAChR, since MLA, a specific antagonist, prevents it. Further studies are needed to better understand the role of DNPZ in modulating the immune response against Abeta, possibly ameliorating therapeutic strategies for AD

Abstract

Background— Moderate, regular alcohol consumption is generally associated with a lower risk of cardiovascular events but data in patients with chronic heart failure are scarce. We evaluated the relations between wine consumption, health status, circulating biomarkers, and clinical outcomes in a large Italian population of patients with chronic heart failure enrolled in a multicenter clinical trial. Methods and Results— A brief questionnaire on dietary habits was administered at baseline to 6973 patients enrolled in the Gruppo Italiano per lo Studio della Sopravvivenza nell’Insufficienza Cardiaca-Heart Failure (GISSI-HF) trial. The relations between wine consumption, fatal and nonfatal clinical end points, quality of life, symptoms of depression, and circulating biomarkers of cardiac function and inflammation (in subsets of patients) were evaluated with simple and multivariable-adjusted statistical models. Almost 56% of the patients reported drinking at least 1 glass of wine per day. After adjustment, clinical outcomes were not significantly different in the predefined 4 groups of wine consumption. However, patients with more frequent wine consumption had a significantly better perception of health status (Kansas City Cardiomyopathy Questionnaire score, adjusted P P =0.01), and lower plasma levels of biomarkers of vascular inflammation (osteoprotegerin and C-terminal proendothelin-1, adjusted P P =0.01) after adjusting for possible confounders. Conclusions— We show for the first time in a large cohort of patients with chronic heart failure that moderate wine consumption is associated with a better perceived and objective health status, lower prevalence of depression, and less vascular inflammation, but does not translate into more favorable clinical 4-year outcomes.

Abstract

Background The independent prognostic impact of diabetes mellitus ( DM ) and prediabetes mellitus (pre‐ DM ) on survival outcomes in patients with chronic heart failure has been investigated in observational registries and randomized, clinical trials, but the results have been often inconclusive or conflicting. We examined the independent prognostic impact of DM and pre‐ DM on survival outcomes in the GISSI ‐HF (Gruppo Italiano per lo Studio della Sopravvivenza nella Insufficienza Cardiaca‐Heart Failure) trial. Methods and Results We assessed the risk of all‐cause death and the composite of all‐cause death or cardiovascular hospitalization over a median follow‐up period of 3.9 years among the 6935 chronic heart failure participants of the GISSI ‐ HF trial, who were stratified by presence of DM (n=2852), pre‐ DM (n=2013), and non‐ DM (n=2070) at baseline. Compared with non‐ DM patients, those with DM had remarkably higher incidence rates of all‐cause death (34.5% versus 24.6%) and the composite end point (63.6% versus 54.7%). Conversely, both event rates were similar between non‐ DM patients and those with pre‐ DM . Cox regression analysis showed that DM , but not pre‐ DM , was associated with an increased risk of all‐cause death (adjusted hazard ratio, 1.43; 95% CI , 1.28–1.60) and of the composite end point (adjusted hazard ratio, 1.23; 95% CI , 1.13–1.32), independently of established risk factors. In the DM subgroup, higher hemoglobin A1c was also independently associated with increased risk of both study outcomes (all‐cause death: adjusted hazard ratio, 1.21; 95% CI , 1.02–1.43; and composite end point: adjusted hazard ratio, 1.14; 95% CI , 1.01–1.29, respectively). Conclusions Presence of DM was independently associated with poor long‐term survival outcomes in patients with chronic heart failure. Clinical Trial Registration URL : http://www.clinicaltrials.gov .

Abstract

Objective: Donepezil (DNPZ) is a drug commonly used for Alzheimer's disease (AD) that may favour a T helper 2 phenotype leading to increased naturally occurring auto-antibodies (NAb) against beta-amyloid (Aβ). We hypothesized the involvement of the cholinergic receptors [α7-nicotnic acetylcholine receptor (α7nAChR)] expressed on peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC). Methods: Fifty patients with mild-to-moderate AD, DNPZ treated (DNPZ+, n = 25) or not (DNPZ−, n = 25), and 25 matched controls were enrolled and PBMC extracted for both in vitro cultures, and real-time polymerase chain reaction and chromatin immunoprecipitation assay. Plasma samples were also obtained for Aβ and NAb determination. Results: Donepezil increased in vitro the expression of the transcription factor GATA binding protein 3 (GATA3) through α7nAChR, because prevented by the specific antagonist methyllycaconitine. Ex vivo PBMC α7nAChR mRNA expression was increased in both AD groups, while GATA3 expression was not. A significant increase in the GATA3/interleukin 5 promoter association was found in DNPZ+ patients. Finally, DNPZ+ patients showed both significantly higher plasma levels of anti-Aβ NAb with respect to DNPZ− patients and Aβ 1-42 with respect to normal controls. Conclusions: Donepezil might modulate a T helper 2 bias via α7nAChR leading to increased expression of NAb. Further studies on the role of the modulation of the immune response against Aβ may pave the way to innovative therapeutic strategies for AD..

Abstract

Objectives. The one-carbon metabolism, also known as methionine-homocysteine cycle, governs the dynamics of DNA methylation, epigenetically regulating gene expression, and has been reported altered in anorexia nervosa (AN) adult patients. The aim of this study consisted in assessing whole-blood DNA methylation in adolescent AN patients, assessing its signifi cance in relationship to clinical and hormonal variables. Methods. Whole-blood global DNA methylation was measured as incorporation of [ 3 H]dCTP following Hpa II cut in 32 adolescent females affected by restrictive type AN and compared to 13 healthy controls. Homocysteine, vitamin B 12 and folate plasma levels were assessed as well as fasting plasma levels of leptin and steroid hormones. Clinical variables, including severity and associate states and traits, were assessed by means of the EDI-3, CDI and STAI-Y scales. Results. We confi rm that whole-blood global DNA methylation is modestly albeit signifi cantly reduced in AN adolescents with respect to controls, correlating with plasma leptin and steroid hormone levels. Conversely, clinical traits did not correlate with the outcome variable. Conclusions. A better defi nition of the epigenetic dysregulation underlying AN pathology or vulnerability might lead to develop useful markers for diagnosis, prognostic classifi cation and tailored therapeutic interventions in these vulnerable patients since the earliest phases of their disease.

Abstract

Background: The diagnosis of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) requires the careful exclusion of mimic syndromes in presence of involvement of both upper and lower motor neurons progressing over time. In the differential diagnosis myopathic processes must be considered. In particular, inclusion body myositis patients are often misdiagnosed as having ALS, due to the fact that these two conditions share some clinical and serological similarities. Other myopathies, such as polymyositis are even rarer and, as a general rule, a diagnosis of inflammatory myopathy tends to exclude ALS. Aim: Describe the case of an ALS patient that was subsequently co-diagnosed with polymyositis. Case Report: A 51-year-old woman with a 4-month history of distal muscle weakness and progressive hypotrophy at the upper limbs came to our attention. Her past medical history was significant for hypothyroidism. Neurological examination showed intact cranial nerves, diffuse mild bilateral weakness with wasting of the interossei muscles at the hands and evident fasciculations; deep tendon reflexes were increased at the upper limbs and decreased at the lower ones. Both brain and spinal cord MRI were normal, as it was the exam of the CSF. An EMG study revealed signs of acute denervation and fasciculations in both distal and proximal muscle of the arms; myopathic changes were not reported. Due to the unexpected bilateral worsening of proximal weakness at the lower limbs, the patient underwent a muscle biopsy (vastus lateralis), which revealed the coexistence of neurogenic alterations and myopathic features, compatible with an inflammatory myopathy. An oral steroid course was started but the patient failed to respond, deteriorating further until tracheostomy. Discussion: Polymyositis can rarely mimic ALS but this is, to our knowledge, the first report of cooccurrence of these two disorders. Muscle biopsy is required in order to confirm or discard this hypothesis. Moreover, albeit our case did not respond to treatment, a correct diagnosis could be extremely important due to the possible favourable response of polymyositis to steroids.
