简要总结
The purpose of this study is to investigate why individuals with type 2 diabetes are at increased risk for heart disease and stroke. This study will investigate risk factors for heart disease and stroke, including platelet (involved in clotting) activity, inflammation, blood vessel wall function, and genetic information (blueprints of your cells), in participants with type 2 diabetes and elevated cholesterol. This study will also include a control group - subjects with elevated cholesterol who do not have diabetes. All participants will be given cholesterol-lowering medicines (PCSK9 inhibitor and statin or ezetimibe) for 1 month with the same risk factors being measured following cholesterol reduction. This study will help understand why individuals with type 2 diabetes are at higher risk for heart disease and stroke before and even after cholesterol reduction.
详细描述
As part of this SFRN investigating REPAIR (non-progression of clinical events or regression of atherosclerosis) in T2D, this project will reveal mechanisms behind the platelet mediated increased cardiovascular risk in patients with T2D by focusing on the platelet transcriptome in those with clinical progression and subsequent cardiovascular events versus those without clinical progression. A prospective clinical study will investigate platelet activity and transcriptome before and after significant cholesterol reduction to better understand mechanisms of increased residual risk observed in patients with T2D, even when cholesterol is not elevated. By combining prospective studies on the platelet phenotype in humans with T2D, mechanistic mouse models of diabetes-accelerated atherosclerosis in the Fisher, Basic Project, and the human plaque and genomic data available data from the Giannarelli, Population Project, the investigators believe the research will fill an important and clinically significant gap in the understanding of how diabetes attenuates cardiovascular repair and to identify new treatment and prevention strategies.

研究组 & 干预措施
Type 2 Diabetes group
All participants with type 2 diabetes will be given cholesterol-lowering medicine (evolocumab (PCSK9 inhibitor) plus atorvastatin (statin) or ezetimibe (zetia)) for 1 month with the same risk factors being measured following cholesterol reduction. They will be asked to undergo blood draw, to receive study medication, and to undergo additional optional vascular health testing including endothelial cell harvesting and glycocalyx (tongue probe).
干预措施: Statin (Drug)

结局指标
主要结局
Percent Change in Platelet Activity (MPA) Before and After Cholesterol Reduction
时间窗: Baseline visit, Follow up visit (4 weeks)
The difference in platelet activity will be assessed by measuring changes in monocyte-platelet aggregates. Monocyte platelet aggregates (MPA) are a robust marker of platelet activity and inflammatory monocytes. The difference in platelet activity before and after cholesterol reduction will be compared using paired t-test or Wilcoxon signed-rank test. The study will also perform a linear mixed model for the multivariate analysis; the primary outcome will be the change in platelet activity (MPA) before and after cholesterol reduction. All tests will be 2-tailed, and a P \<0.05 will be considered as statistically significant. A positive MPA value indicates increased platelet activity, while a negative MPA value indicates decreased platelet activity.
Percent Change in Platelet Activity (LTA) Before and After Cholesterol Reduction
时间窗: Baseline visit, Follow up visit (4 weeks)
The difference in platelet activity will be assessed by using the light transmission aggregometry test (LTA). Light Transmission Aggregometry \[LTA\] is frequently undertaken as the first test of platelet function, as a screening test for a bleeding disorder and in addition for monitoring of anti-platelet drugs using platelet rich plasma (PRP). The difference in platelet activity before and after cholesterol reduction will be compared using paired t-test or Wilcoxon signed-rank test. We will also perform a linear mixed model for the multivariate analysis; the primary outcome will be the change in platelet activity (LTA) before and after cholesterol reduction. All tests will be 2-tailed, and a P \<0.05 will be considered as statistically significant. A positive value indicates increased platelet activity, while a negative value indicates decreased platelet activity.
