This study compares the effect of estrogens and ACE inhibition on plasminogen activator inhibitor-1 (PAI-1) concentrations in healthy postmenopausal women, genotyped for a 4G/5G polymorphism in the PAI-1 promoter, a polymorphism shown to influence PAI-1 concentrations. Methods and Results- Morning estradiol, PAI-1, tissue plasminogen activator, plasma renin activity, angiotensin II, and aldosterone were measured in 19 postmenopausal women (5G/5G:4G/5G:4G4G=5:10:4, respectively) at baseline and during randomized, single-blind, crossover treatment with conjugated equine estrogens 0.625 mg per os per day, ramipril 10 mg per os per day, and combination estrogens and ramipril. Estradiol (P<0.005) and angiotensin II (P<0.01) were significantly higher during estrogens. Plasma renin activity was significantly increased during ACE inhibition (P<0.05). Both conjugated estrogens [PAI-1 antigen from 12.5 (7.6, 17.4) [mean (95% CI)] baseline to 6.6 (2.6, 10.7) ng/mL, P<0.01] and ACE inhibition [8.3 (4.9, 11.7) ng/mL, P<0.005] decreased PAI-1 without decreasing tissue plasminogen activator. The effect of combined therapy on PAI-1 [5.6 (2.3, 8.8) ng/mL] was significantly greater than that of ramipril alone (P<0.05). There was a significant effect of PAI-1 4G/5G genotype on baseline PAI-1 concentrations (P=0.001) and a significant interactive effect of 4G/5G genotype and treatment, such that genotype influenced the change in PAI-1 during ramipril (P=0.011) or combined therapy (P=0.006) but not during estrogens (P=0.715).
ACE inhibition with ramipril and conjugated estrogens similarly decrease PAI-1 antigen concentrations in postmenopausal women. Larger studies that use clinical outcomes are needed to determine whether PAI-1 4G/5G genotype should influence the choice of conjugated estrogens or ACE inhibition for the treatment of healthy postmenopausal women.
本研究比较了雌激素和血管紧张素转换酶(ACE)抑制剂对健康绝经后女性纤溶酶原激活物抑制剂-1(PAI-1)浓度的影响,这些女性针对PAI-1启动子中的4G/5G多态性进行了基因分型,该多态性已被证明会影响PAI-1浓度。方法与结果:对19名绝经后女性(5G/5G:4G/5G:4G4G分别为5:10:4)在基线时以及在随机、单盲、交叉治疗期间测量了早晨的雌二醇、PAI-1、组织纤溶酶原激活物、血浆肾素活性、血管紧张素II和醛固酮,治疗药物分别为每日口服0.625mg结合马雌激素、每日口服10mg雷米普利以及结合雌激素与雷米普利的联合用药。在使用雌激素期间,雌二醇(P<0.005)和血管紧张素II(P<0.01)显著升高。在进行ACE抑制期间,血浆肾素活性显著增加(P<0.05)。结合雌激素[PAI-1抗原从基线时的12.5(7.6,17.4)[均值(95%CI)]降至6.6(2.6,10.7)ng/mL,P<0.01]和ACE抑制[8.3(4.9,11.7)ng/mL,P<0.005]均降低了PAI-1,而未降低组织纤溶酶原激活物。联合治疗对PAI-1的影响[5.6(2.3,8.8)ng/mL]显著大于单独使用雷米普利(P<0.05)。PAI-1 4G/5G基因型对基线PAI-1浓度有显著影响(P=0.001),并且4G/5G基因型与治疗之间存在显著的交互作用,因此基因型影响雷米普利治疗期间(P=0.011)或联合治疗期间(P=0.006)PAI-1的变化,但不影响雌激素治疗期间(P=0.715)。
雷米普利和结合雌激素进行ACE抑制同样可降低绝经后女性的PAI-1抗原浓度。需要开展更多使用临床结局的研究,以确定PAI-1 4G/5G基因型是否应影响在治疗健康绝经后女性时结合雌激素或ACE抑制的选择。
