Calcium channel blockers affect angiogenesis by modulating inflammatory factors: a meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials
摘要
Neovascularization is balanced by various factors that stimulate and inhibit angiogenesis, thus ensuring the physiological formation of blood vessels. Pathological angiogenesis also occurs in the development of the disease. Calcium ions play an important role in the human body, and can participate in various functions in cell physiology, such as gene expression, control of the cell cycle, cell motility, apoptosis, and autophagy. Selective activation of transcription factors that can be used for gene transcription, cell proliferation, and migration (have deleted). Studies have found that calcium channel blockers have the effect of inhibiting angiogenesis, which plays an important role in the synthesis and release of inflammatory chemical mediators, calcium channel blockers can play an anti-inflammatory role by reducing the production of inflammatory factors, such as IL-1, IL-6, TNF-α and other substances; thereby, inhibiting angiogenesis.
MethodsIn this meta-analysis, we searched eight major databases—CNKI, Wanfang Medical, VIP, CBM, Cochrane, Embase, PubMed and Web of Science—from their inception to June 2024. After screening eligible literature, randomized controlled methods were used to compare the subjects of angiogenesis and inflammation research into experimental and control groups, and whether there was any difference between IL-1, IL-6 and TNF-αbefore and after treatment.(original text: After screening eligible literature, randomized controlled methods were used to compare the infected subjects into experimental group and control group, and whether there was any difference between IL-1, IL-6 and TNF-αbefore and after treatment.) After statistical analysis, the results were verified to be statistically significant.
ResultsA total of nine trials were included. The statistical results showed that there was no heterogeneity in the baseline period difference of IL-1 between the experimental group and the control group before treatment (I2 = 0% < 50%, P = 0.69 > 0.1 in Q test), no heterogeneity in the baseline period difference of IL-6 (I2 = 0% < 50%, P = 0.99 > 0.1 in Q test), and no heterogeneity in the baseline period difference between TNF-α(I2 = 0% < 50%, P = 0.97 > 0.1 in Q test). The effect size after Meta merger in IL-1 group was −23.26 (−25.39 ~ −21.14), and the effect size was significant (Z = 21.46, P < 0.05). The effect size after Meta merger in IL-6 group was −37.19 (−42.56 ~ −31.83), and the effect size was significant (Z = 13.58, P < 0.05). The effect size after Meta merger in the TNF-αgroup was −55.51 (−57.60 ~ −53.42), and the effect size was particularly significant (Z = 52.05, P < 0.05). The IL-1 treated with calcium channel blocker was significantly lower than that of the control group by 23.26, IL-6 was significantly lower than that of the control group by 37.19, and TNF-αwas significantly lower than that of the control group by 55.51.
ConclusionAngiogenesis is a process in which multiple factors work together to promote angiogenesis under the coordination of cytokines that promote angiogenesis and anti-angiogenic cytokines (original text: cytokines that resist angiogenesis). Neogenesis of blood vessels can occur in physiological conditions (such as wound healing, tissue cell regeneration, and female ovulation) and pathological conditions (such as tumor rheumatoid arthritis, etc.) (have deleted). The inflammatory factors IL-1, IL-6, TNF-α can participate in the regeneration of blood vessels through signal transduction pathways. Studies have shown that calcium channel blockers can synthesize proteins to regulate the stability of hypoxia-inducible factors, thereby affecting the production of blood vessels. The use of calcium channel blockers greatly reduces the secretion of inflammatory factors IL-1, IL-6, TNF-α; thereby, inhibiting angiogenesis.
