| Core Tip |
Portal hypertension (PH) in cirrhosis is driven by increased intrahepatic resistance and loss of epoxyeicosatrienoic acids (EETs) activity due to soluble epoxide hydrolase (sEH) upregulation. While dipeptidyl peptidase-4 inhibitors (DPP4-Is) and angiotensin receptor-neprilysin inhibitors (ARNIs) may suppress sEH, their combined effect remains unclear. This study assessed the combination effect of vildagliptin and sacubitril/valsartan on PH and fibrosis in two cirrhotic rat models, choline-deficient, L-amino acid-defined, high-fat diet- and bile duct ligation-induced cirrhotic rats. Combination therapy reduced portal pressure without affecting systemic hemodynamics, improved endothelial function and sinusoidal capillarization, suppressed sEH, restored EETs, and attenuated fibrosis. These findings suggest that DPP4-I and ARNI combination therapy may represent a novel strategy for treating cirrhosis-associated PH. |
