Changes of Intestinal Functions in Liver Cirrhosis

The reference human genome sequence set the stage for studies of genetic variation and its association with human disease, but epigenomic studies lack a similar reference. To address this need, the NIH Roadmap Epigenomics Consortium generated the largest collection so far of human epigenomes for primary cells and tissues. Here we describe the integrative analysis of 111 reference human epigenomes generated as part of the programme, profiled for histone modification patterns, DNA accessibility, DNA methylation and RNA expression. We establish global maps of regulatory elements, define regulatory modules of coordinated activity, and their likely activators and repressors. We show that disease- and trait-associated genetic variants are enriched in tissue-specific epigenomic marks, revealing biologically relevant cell types for diverse human traits, and providing a resource for interpreting the molecular basis of human disease. Our results demonstrate the central role of epigenomic information for understanding gene regulation, cellular differentiation and human disease.

AIMS OF THE STUDY Although systemic drugs can exert local effects on the eye, ophthalmology is a medical specialty with perhaps the fewest assessed adverse drug reactions (ADRs), representing a particular challenge in pharmacovigilance. Our aim was to quantify ADRs in ophthalmology in Switzerland, with a focus on angiogenesis inhibitors. METHODS Individual case safety reports (ICSRs) on suspected ADRs reported in Switzerland from January 1991 to June 2016 were extracted from the WHO Global ICSR database, VigiBase™. ICSRs were analysed in relation to treatment duration, patient age, route of administration, patient sex and reported symptoms. RESULTS A total of 80,515 ICSRs were reported in Switzerland during the reference period. Reactions linked to eye disorders accounted for 2793 (3.5%) cases. The main Anatomic Therapeutic Chemical / Defined Daily Dose drug classes associated with eye disorders were drugs acting on the nervous system (27.7%) followed by drugs “acting on sensory organs” (20.2%) and antineoplastic agents (18.0%). Most cases involved adult patients (70.6%). Patients over 60 years accounted for 815 (29.2%) ICSRs, and reactions in children were significantly less frequent (8.2%). Older patients were exposed to a higher number of drugs, and the majority of serious reactions involved children and older patients. A significant positive correlation between polypharmacy and seriousness of reported reactions was observed. The reported drugs were categorised as “suspected” in 51.1%, “concomitant” in 43.3% and “interacting” in 2.6% of cases. “Visual impairment” was the most commonly reported adverse reaction, experienced by 635 (22.7%) of patients (7.2% of all reported eye-related symptoms). The majority of reactions were transient, as 4173 (47.1%) completely resolved. Severe reactions included fatal outcome in 18 patients (0.6%) and blindness in 78 patients (2.6%). Since 2000, the intravitreous vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) inhibitors bevacizumab, aflibercept and ranibizumab accounted for 99 ICSRs. Retinal haemorrhage (reporting odds ratio [ROR] 10.36, 95% confidence interval [95% CI] 2.65–40.50; p <0.001), blindness (ROR 3.73, 95% CI 1.08–12.96; p = 0.04) and uveitis (ROR 6.91, 95% CI 1.64–29.13; p = 0.01) were significantly more frequently reported for aflibercept than for bevacizumab and ranibizumab. CONCLUSIONS ADRs that affect the eye represented 3.5% of all pharmacovigilance reports during the reporting period. Whereas retinal haemorrhage and uveitis are known adverse reactions to angiogenesis inhibitors, the reported cases of blindness and death should heighten awareness of potential safety issues associated with VEGF inhibitors for the treatment of proliferative eye disorders.

Pharmacovigilance in ophthalmology in Switzerland: an analysis of the most frequently reported ocular adverse drug reactions within the last 25 years

Reduced kidney mass and/or function may result in multiple metabolic derangements, including insulin resistance. However, underlying mechanisms are poorly understood. Herein, we aimed to determine the impact of reduced kidney mass on glucose metabolism in lean and obese mice. To that end, 7-week-old C57BL/6J mice underwent uninephrectomy (UniNx) or sham operation. After surgery, animals were fed either a chow (standard) diet or a high-fat diet (HFD), and glucose homeostasis was assessed 20 weeks after surgery. Intraperitoneal glucose tolerance was similar in sham-operated and UniNx mice. However, insulin-stimulated glucose disposal in vivo was significantly diminished in UniNx mice, whereas insulin-stimulated glucose uptake into isolated skeletal muscle was similar in sham-operated and UniNx mice. Of note, capillary density was significantly reduced in skeletal muscle of HFD-fed UniNx mice. In contrast, hepatic insulin sensitivity was improved in UniNx mice. Furthermore, adipose tissue hypoxia-inducible factor 1α expression and inflammation were reduced in HFD-fed UniNx mice. Treatment with the angiotensin II receptor blocker telmisartan improved glucose tolerance and hepatic insulin sensitivity in HFD-fed sham-operated but not UniNx mice. In conclusion, UniNx protects from obesity-induced adipose tissue inflammation and hepatic insulin resistance, but it reduces muscle capillary density and, thus, deteriorates HFD-induced skeletal muscle glucose disposal.
