The past few years have shown an ongoing interest in lipoprotein(a) (Lp(a)), a lipid molecule that has been proven to have atherogenic, thrombogenic, and inflammatory properties. Several lines of evidence, indeed, have demonstrated an increased risk of cardiovascular disease as well as calcific aortic valve stenosis in patients with elevated Lp(a) levels. Statins, the mainstay of lipid-lowering therapy, slightly increase Lp(a) levels, while most other lipid-modifying agents do not significantly alter Lp(a) concentrations, except for proprotein convertase subtilisin/kexin type 9 (PCSK9) inhibitors. The latter have been shown to reduce Lp(a) levels; however, the clinical significance of this effect has not been clearly elucidated. Of note, the pharmaceutical lowering of Lp(a) may be achieved with novel treatments specifically designed for this purpose (i.e., antisense oligonucleotides (ASOs) and small interfering RNAs (siRNAs)). Large clinical trials with cardiovascular outcomes with these agents are ongoing, and their results are eagerly awaited. Furthermore, several non-lipid-modifying drugs of various classes may influence Lp(a) concentrations. We have searched MEDLINE, EMBASE, and CENTRAL databases up to 28 January 2023 and summarized the effects of established and emerging lipid-modifying drugs and other medications on Lp(a) levels. We also discuss the potent clinical implications of these alterations.
在过去几年中,人们对脂蛋白(a)(Lp(a))的关注持续不断,Lp(a)是一种脂质分子,已被证明具有致动脉粥样硬化、促血栓形成和炎症特性。事实上,有几条证据链表明,Lp(a)水平升高的患者患心血管疾病以及钙化性主动脉瓣狭窄的风险增加。他汀类药物作为降脂治疗的主要药物,会使Lp(a)水平略有升高,而大多数其他脂质调节药物除了前蛋白转化酶枯草溶菌素/kexin 9型(PCSK9)抑制剂外,不会显著改变Lp(a)浓度。后者已被证明可降低Lp(a)水平;然而,这种作用的临床意义尚未明确阐明。值得注意的是,Lp(a)的药物性降低可以通过专门为此设计的新疗法(即反义寡核苷酸(ASO)和小干扰RNA(siRNA))来实现。针对这些药物的心血管结局的大型临床试验正在进行中,人们急切期待其结果。此外,几类不同的非脂质调节药物可能会影响Lp(a)浓度。我们检索了截至2023年1月28日的MEDLINE、EMBASE和CENTRAL数据库,并总结了已确立的和新出现的脂质调节药物以及其他药物对Lp(a)水平的影响。我们还讨论了这些改变潜在的临床意义。
