PARP inhibition in cancer therapy

Congenital generalized lipodystrophy (CGL) is a rare autosomal recessive disorder characterized by the absence of functional adipocytes resulting in ectopic lipid storage, metabolic disorders and early cardiovascular disease. Two-dimensional speckle-tracking (2D-STE) allows the detection of early abnormalities in myocardial function. We aimed to evaluate myocardial deformation in a large sample of CGL patients using 2D-STE.A cross-sectional study of 22 patients with CGL and 22 healthy subjects, matched for sex and age, was conducted from 2013 to 2018. All participants had undergone standard conventional echocardiography (ECHO) and 2D-STE. Determination of blood glucose, lipids, insulin, and leptin were performed in all CGL patients.In the CGL group the mean age was 14.6±10.7 years where 68.2% (n=15) were younger than 18 years old. All the patients had hypoleptinemia, 95.4% (21/22) low HDL-c, 86.4% (19/22) hypertriglyceridemia, 68.2% (15/22) diabetes, 50% (11/22) hepatic steatosis, 41% (9/22) insulin resistance, 41% (9/22) hypercholesterolemia, and 18.2% (4/22) hypertension. ECHO showed that 36.6% (8/22) of CGL patients presented diastolic dysfunction, 31.8% (7/22) left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH), 27.3% (6/22) increased left atrial volume index (LAVI), and 18.2% (4/22) increased left ventricular systolic diameter (LVDS) but normal ejection fraction (EF), whether using 2D-STE, 68.2% (15/22) of CGL patients showed abnormal global longitudinal strain (GLS) (p<0.01), and in almost LV segments. Positive association between abnormal GLS and A1c (r=0.57, p=0.005), glucose (r=0.5, p=0.018) and basal insulin (r= 0.69, p= 0.024), and negative association with leptin (r = -0.51, p = 0.005) were found in these patients.The 2D-STE revealed precocious left ventricular systolic dysfunction in a young CGL population with normal systolic function by ECHO. Early exposure to common metabolic abnormalities as insulin resistance, hyperglycemia, and hypoleptinemia must be involved in myocardial damage in these patients.
