他汀类药物是3-羟基-3-甲基戊二酰辅酶A(HMG-CoA)还原酶抑制剂,广泛用于降低血清胆固醇水平,用于心血管疾病的一级和二级预防。最近的实验和临床证据表明,他汀类药物的有益作用可能超出其降低胆固醇的作用,包括所谓的多效性作用。这些非胆固醇依赖性作用包括改善内皮功能、减弱血管和心肌重塑、抑制血管炎症和氧化以及稳定动脉粥样硬化斑块。这些多效性作用中的一些的潜在机制是他汀类药物抑制类异戊二烯合成,这导致细胞内信号分子Rho、Rac和Cdc 42的抑制。特别是,抑制Rho及其下游靶点之一Rho激酶(ROCK)可能是他汀类药物多效性作用的主要机制。在这篇综述中,我们提供了一个更新的非胆固醇依赖性他汀类药物在心血管系统中的作用,并强调了一些最近的研究结果,从实验室到床边,以支持他汀类药物多效性的概念。
Statins are 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl coenzyme A (HMG-CoA) reductase inhibitors, which are widely used to lower serum cholesterol levels in the primary and secondary prevention of cardiovascular disease. Recent experimental and clinical evidence suggest that the beneficial effects of statins may extend beyond their cholesterol lowering effects, to include so-called pleiotropic effects. These cholesterol-independent effects include improving endothelial function, attenuating vascular and myocardial remodeling, inhibiting vascular inflammation and oxidation, and stabilizing atherosclerotic plaques. The mechanism underlying some of these pleiotropic effects is the inhibition of isoprenoid synthesis by statins, which leads to the inhibition of intracellular signaling molecules Rho, Rac and Cdc42. In particular, inhibition of Rho and one of its downstream targets, Rho kinase (ROCK), may be a predominant mechanism contributing to the pleiotropic effects of statins. In this review, we provide an update on the non-cholesterol-dependent statin effects in the cardiovascular system and highlight some of the recent findings from bench to bedside to support the concept of statin pleiotropy.
