Backgrounds: Baricitinib, an oral selective inhibitor of Janus kinase 1 and 2, is approved for moderate and severe rheumatoid arthritis (RA) with insufficient response to conventional synthetic disease-modifying antirheumatic drugs. The study evaluated the safety of baricitinib 24 weeks 4 mg or 2 mg for the treatment of RA.
Methods: The net change (least squares mean [LSM]) of alanine aminotransferase (ALT), creatinine, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) levels from baseline with the comparison of baricitinib versus placebo was pooled, respectively.
Background: Baricitinib, an oral-administrated selective inhibitor of the JAK1 and JAK2, is recently approved for rheumatoid arthritis (RA) treatment. With the aim to provide some insights on the clinical safety, the current study mainly focused on the effect of baricitinib on low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) and high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) levels and cardiovascular risk.
Methods: The net change scores [least squares mean (LSM) and mean change] of LDL-C and HDL-C levels from baseline with the comparison of baricitinib versus placebo were pooled, respectively.
Purpose: Necroptosis is an important form of cell death following myocardial ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) and phosphoglycerate mutase 5 (PGAM5) functions as the convergent point for multiple necrosis pathways. This study aims to investigate whether inhibition of PGAM5 could reduce I/R-induced myocardial necroptosis and the underlying mechanisms.
Methods: The SD rat hearts (or H9c2 cells) were subjected to 1-h ischemia (or 10-h hypoxia) plus 3-h reperfusion (or 4-h reoxygenation) to establish the I/R (or H/R) injury model.
