A Case of Statin-Induced Necrotizing Autoimmune Myopathy. (PubMed, Cureus)
A 65-year-old woman with a past medical history of hyperlipidemia on atorvastatin for four years, type 2 diabetes, sciatica, and a prior history of endometrial cancer, presented to the emergency department due to proximal muscle weakness worsening over 2-3 months...During her hospital course, she was started on prednisone, fluids, and intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIG). Once completing two days of IVIG, the patient was discharged to rehab with rheumatology follow-up. The purpose of this case is to elucidate a rare side effect of a medication despite being on it for several years and to increase awareness and attention to an adverse effect that may one day lead to stratifying patients' risk on the medication.

Inflammatory profile of eosinophils in asthma-COPD overlap and eosinophilic COPD: a multi-omics study. (PubMed, Front Immunol)
Atorvastatin, dexamethasone, and PGE2 differentially modulated these inflammatory changes. ACO/eCOPD is associated with viral infection and an inflammatory milieu. Therapeutic strategies using statins and inhaled corticosteroids are recommended to control these pathogenic changes.

Zhuyu Pills regulate p53/SLC7A11 signaling pathway-mediated oxidative damage and ferroptosis to treat atherosclerosis (PubMed, Zhongguo Zhong Yao Za Zhi)
Compared with the model group, low-, medium-, and high-dose Zhuyu Pills and atorvastatin calcium reduced the aortic plaque area, collagen deposition, liver lipid deposition, lipid droplets, and epididymal adipocyte volume, lowered the levels of iron ion and MDA and elevated the levels of SOD and GSH-Px in the serum, inhibited the expression of p53 and COX2, up-regulated the protein and mRNA levels of FTH1, SLC7A11, and GPX4, and down-regulated the mRNA levels of PTGS2 and NOX1 in the aorta. In conclusion, Zhuyu Pills exert definite therapeutic effect on aortic plaque in AS mice by regulating the p53/SLC7A11 signaling pathway to alleviate oxidative damage and inhibit ferroptosis.

Targeting ferroptosis for improved radiotherapy outcomes in HPV-negative head and neck squamous cell carcinoma. (PubMed, Mol Oncol)
Furthermore, our in vitro and in vivo studies demonstrated that treatment with statins, such as atorvastatin and simvastatin, induced ferroptosis and sensitized radioresistant HNSCC cells to irradiation, improving radiosensitivity and potentially enhancing the response to RT. Additionally, in xenograft models, the combination of statins and RT led to a significant reduction in tumor initiation. These findings provide valuable insights for enhancing treatment and improving prognosis in HPV-negative HNSCC by targeting ferroptosis and utilizing statins to sensitize tumors to RT-induced cell death.

Atorvastatin improves ovarian function and follicular reserve in rats with premature ovarian insufficiency. (PubMed, Reprod Biomed Online)
Atorvastatin reduces the detrimental effects of cyclophosphamide in the POI model significantly by reducing oxidative stress and pro-inflammatory cytokines; regulating the expression of Bax, Bcl-2 and VEGF-A; and improving ovarian function and follicular reserve.

Coproporphyrin-I as a Selective OATP1B Biomarker Can Be Used to Delineate the Mechanisms of Complex Drug-Drug Interactions: Cedirogant Case Study. (PubMed, Clin Pharmacol Ther)
Cedirogant (375 mg once daily) increased rosuvastatin maximum plasma concentration (Cmax) and area under the plasma concentration curve (AUCtau) by 141% and 55%, respectively when co-administered, whereas atorvastatin Cmax increased by 40% with no effect on its AUCtau compared with administration of rosuvastatin/atorvastatin alone. Correlation analysis with data from two investigational drugs (glecaprevir and flubentylosin) demonstrated that OATP1B1 R-value of > 1.5 and [Cmax,u]/[OATP1B1 IC50] of > 0.1 are associated with > 1.25-fold increase in CP-I Cmax ratio. This demonstrates the utility of CP-I in disentangling mechanisms underlying a complex DDI involving multiple transporters and enzymes and proposes refined criteria for static OATP1B inhibition predictions.

The Antinociceptive Effects of Combined Treatment With Atorvastatin and Vitamin C in the Chronic Constriction Injury Model of Rats. (PubMed, Basic Clin Neurosci)
The results of the present study indicated that the anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and neuroprotective properties of vitamin C and atorvastatin improved the effects of CCI in an empirical neuropathic in rats. Moreover, it was shown that the associated treatment with vitamin C and atorvastatin can reduce inflammatory factors, such as TNF-α and IL-6, and oxidative markers, such as glutathione peroxidase (GPx), superoxide dismutase (SOD), and malonaldehyde (MDA), while the nerve conduction velocity enhanced and inflammation decreased in histology studies in CCI rats.
