Efeito do sirolimo no perfil cardiovascular do paciente idoso transplantado renal

Abstract

Introdução: Os inibidores do alvo de rapamicina em mamíferos (mTORI) podem conferir vantagens cardioprotetoras. Em modelos animais, o mTORI pode prevenir a aterogênese pela regulação da homeostase do colesterol e pela redução da resposta inflamatória. Além disso, a administração de mTORI pode levar à redução da massa ventricular esquerda. O objetivo deste estudo é comparar a espessura médio intimal da carotída (cIMT) e a massa ventricular esquerda indexada (LVMi) entre o grupo de tacrolimus associado a micofenolato (grupo micofenolato) e tacrolimo associado a sirolimo (grupo sirolimo) em baixas doses. A cIMT é considerada um marcador substituto da aterosclerose. Métodos: Nós avaliamos a cIMT e a LVMi no início e aos 6 e 12 meses após o transplante renal. Foram randomizados prospectivamente todos os receptores de transplante renal com mais de 60 anos para um dos dois grupos: tacrolimus / sirolimus (n = 21) ou tacrolimus / micofenolato (n = 23). A cIMT foi avaliada por ultrassonografia na parede da artéria carótida comum e o LVMi pelo ecocardiograma. Resultados: Os níveis de colesterol total e de lipoproteína de alta densidade (HDL) foram maiores no grupo do sirolimus aos 6 e 12 meses. O cIMT diminuiu com o tempo aos 6 e 12 meses no grupo do sirolimus (p = 0,012); esta diminuição continuou a ser significativa em um modelo ajustado para idade, sexo, presença de diabetes, uso de estatina e tabagismo. Houve redução ao longo do tempo na massa ventricular esquerda indexada, mas não houve diferenças entre os grupos sugerindo ausência de efeito de classe do sirolimus. Conclusões: O uso de sirolimus com tacrolimus de novo no transplante renal está associado com uma redução na cIMT após 12 meses, uma diminuição mais significativa do que a observada com a combinação de micofenolato mais tacrolimus. Isto sugere um efeito de classe do mTORI na prevenção da aterosclerose. Não houve efeito do sirolimus na redução da massa ventricular esquerda.

Background: Mammalian target of rapamycin inhibitors (mTORI) may confer cardioprotective advantages. In animal models, the mTORI may prevent atherogenesis by the regulation of homeostasis of cholesterol and by a reduced inflammatory response. In addition, the administration of mTORI may lead to reduction of left ventricular mass. The aim of this study is to compare the carotid intima-media thickness (cIMT) and left ventricular mass index (LVMi) between de novo tacrolimus/mycophenolate and tacrolimus/sirolimus at low doses. The cIMT is considered a surrogate marker of atherosclerosis. Methods: We evaluated cIMT and LVMi at baseline and at 6 and 12 months after kidney transplantation. We prospectively randomly assigned kidney transplant recipients older than 60 years of age to one of two groups: tacrolimus/sirolimus (n=21) or tacrolimus/mycophenolate (n=23). The cIMT was evaluated by using ultrasound in the common carotid artery wall in both sides ant the LVMi by echocardiogram. Results: The total and high-density lipoprotein cholesterol levels were higher in the sirolimus group at 6 and 12 months. The cIMT decreased over time at 6 and 12 months in the sirolimus group (p = 0.012); this decrease continued to be significant in a model adjusted for age, sex, presence of diabetes, statin use and smoking. There was a reduction over time in LVMi, but there were no differences between groups suggesting absence of sirolimus class effect. Conclusions: The use of sirolimus plus tacrolimus de novo in kidney transplantation is associated with a reduction in cIMT after 12 months, a decrease more significant than seen with the combination of mycophenolate plus tacrolimus. This suggests a class effect of mTORI in the prevention of atherosclerosis. There was no effect of sirolimus on the reduction of left ventricular mass.
