摘要

Background

Treatment effects of anti-inflammatory therapies inhibiting the NLRP3/IL-1β/IL-6/CRP pathway in coronary artery disease (CAD) had conflicting results. The study aims to evaluate efficacy and safety outcomes of treatments inhibiting this pathway.

Methods

Cochrane Library, Embase, Pubmed, and ClinicalTrials.gov were searched for randomized controlled trials evaluating therapies inhibiting the NLRP3/IL-1β/IL-6/CRP pathway in CAD patients. Relative risks (RR) with 95% confidence intervals (CI) were calculated.

Results

32 studies and 37,056 individuals were included. Anti-inflammatory therapies inhibiting the pathway reduced the risks of myocardial infarction (MI) (RR 0.85, 95% CI 0.78–0.93) and coronary revascularization (RR 0.80, 95% CI 0.74–0.86), with no benefits in major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE), heart failure (HF), stroke, cardiovascular or all-cause mortality. Colchicine reduced the risks of MACE, MI, and coronary revascularization. IL-1 inhibitors reduced the risks of coronary revascularization, with potential benefits in MI and HF. Increased risks of infections, gastrointestinal adverse effects, and injection site reactions were found. Meta-regression analysis demonstrated that post-treatment hsCRP/CRP was correlated with MACE (p < 0.001) and MI (p = 0.048) and post-treatment IL-6 was associated with MI (p = 0.033).

Conclusion

Anti-inflammatory therapies inhibiting the NLRP3/IL-1β/IL-6/CRP pathway had satisfying safety profiles and were beneficial in preventing MI and coronary revascularization in CAD patients despite no benefits in stroke, cardiovascular, or all-cause mortality.
