    Impact of chronic kidney disease on platelet function profiles in diabetes mellitus patients with coronary artery disease taking dual antiplatelet therapy
    (Journal of the American College of Cardiology, 2010) Angiolillo, Dominick J.; Bernardo, Esther; Vivas Balcones, Luis David; Sabaté, Manel; Jimenez Quevedo, Pilar; Alfonso Manterola, Fernando; Macaya Miguel, Carlos; Fernández Ortiz, Antonio Ignacio
    Objectives: We sought to assess the impact of renal function on platelet reactivity in patients with diabetes mellitus (DM) and coronary artery disease on aspirin and clopidogrel therapy. Background: Diabetes mellitus is a key risk factor for chronic kidney disease (CKD). In aspirin-treated DM patients the presence of moderate/severe CKD is associated with reduced clinical efficacy of adjunctive clopidogrel therapy. Whether these findings may be attributed to differences in clopidogrel-induced effects is unknown. Methods: This was a cross-sectional observational study in which DM patients taking maintenance aspirin and clopidogrel therapy were studied. Patients were categorized into 2 groups according to the presence or absence of moderate/severe CKD. Platelet aggregation after adenosine diphosphate (ADP) and collagen stimuli were assessed with light transmittance aggregometry and defined patients with high post-treatment platelet reactivity (HPPR). Markers of platelet activation, including glycoprotein IIb/IIIa activation and P-selectin expression, were also determined using flow cytometry. Results: A total of 306 DM patients were analyzed. Patients with moderate/severe CKD (n = 84) had significantly higher ADP-induced (60 +/- 13% vs. 52 +/- 15%, p = 0.001) and collagen-induced (49 +/- 20% vs. 41 +/- 20%, p = 0.004) platelet aggregation compared with those without (n = 222). After adjustment for potential confounders, patients with moderate/severe CKD were more likely to have HPPR after ADP (adjusted odds ratio: 3.8, 95% confidence interval: 1.7 to 8.5, p = 0.001) and collagen (adjusted odds ratio: 2.4; 95% confidence interval: 1.1 to 5.4; p = 0.029) stimuli. Markers of platelet activation were significantly increased in patients with HPPR. Conclusions: In DM patients with coronary artery disease taking maintenance aspirin and clopidogrel therapy, impaired renal function is associated with reduced clopidogrel-induced antiplatelet effects and a greater prevalence of HPPR.

    Impact of insulin receptor substrate-1 genotypes on platelet reactivity and cardiovascular outcomes in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus and coronary artery disease
    (Journal of the American College of Cardiology, 2011) Angiolillo, Dominick J; Bernardo, Esther; Vivas Balcones, Luis David; Sabaté, Manel; Jimenez Quevedo, Pilar; Fernández Ortiz, Antonio Ignacio; Macaya Miguel, Carlos
    Objectives: The aim of this study was to assess the association between genetic variants of the insulin receptor substrate (IRS)-1 gene, platelet function, and long-term outcomes in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM) and stable coronary artery disease while on aspirin and clopidogrel therapy. Background: The effects of pharmacogenetic determinants on platelet function and cardiovascular outcomes in type DM patients are unknown. Methods: The association between IRS-1 genetic variants, platelet function, and the risk of major adverse cardiac events (MACE) at 2 years was assessed in 187 patients with type 2 DM and stable coronary artery disease on maintenance aspirin and clopidogrel therapy. Results: Seven tag single nucleotide polymorphisms were selected. Individuals with high platelet reactivity were more frequent among carriers of the C allele (GC and CC genotypes; approximately 20% of population) of the rs956115 marker (44.4% vs. 20.5%; odds ratio: 3.1, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.44 to 6.67; p = 0.006). These patients were at higher risk of MACE (28.0% vs. 10.9%; hazard ratio: 2.90, 95% CI: 1.38 to 6.11; p = 0.005). The C allele carriers of the rs956115 marker were more commonly associated with a hyperreactive platelet phenotype. This was confirmed in an external validation cohort of patients with type 2 DM but not in an external validation cohort of patients without DM. Carriers of the C allele of the rs956115 marker also had a significantly higher risk of MACE compared with noncarriers (30.6% vs. 11.4%; hazard ratio: 2.88, 95% CI: 1.35 to 6.14; p = 0.006). Conclusions: Type 2 DM patients who are carriers of the C allele of the rs956115 marker of the IRS-1 gene have a hyperreactive platelet phenotype and increased risk of MACE.
