Emerging evidence suggests the existence of a crosstalk between dipeptidyl peptidase 4 (DPP4) and the renin-angiotensin system (RAS). Therefore, combined inhibition of DPP4 and RAS may produce similar pharmacol. effects rather than being additive. This study tested the hypothesis that combining an inhibitor of DPP4 with an angiotensin II (Ang II) receptor blocker does not provide addnl. cardioprotection compared to monotherapy in heart failure (HF) rats. Male Wistar rats were subjected to left ventricle (LV) radiofrequency ablation or sham operation. Six weeks after surgery, radiofrequency-ablated rats who developed HF were assigned into four groups and received vehicle (water), vildagliptin, valsartan, or both drugs, for four weeks by oral gavage. Vildagliptin and valsartan in monotherapy reduced LV hypertrophy, alleviated cardiac interstitial fibrosis, and improved systolic and diastolic function in HF rats, with no addnl. effect of combination treatment. HF rats displayed higher cardiac and serum DPP4 activity and abundance than sham. Surprisingly, not only vildagliptin but also valsartan in monotherapy downregulated the catalytic function and expression levels of systemic and cardiac DPP4. Moreover, vildagliptin and valsartan alone or in combination comparably upregulate the components of the cardiac ACE2/Ang-(1-7)/MasR while downregulating the ACE/Ang II/AT1R axis. Vildagliptin or valsartan alone is as effective as combined to treat cardiac dysfunction and remodeling in exptl. HF. DPP4 inhibition downregulates classic RAS components, and pharmacol. RAS blockade downregulates DPP4 in the heart and serum of HF rats. This interplay between DPP4 and RAS may affect HF progression and pharmacotherapy.
