Abstract
Advances in the development of anti-tumour drugs and related technologies have resulted in a significant increase in the number of cancer survivors. However, the incidence of chemotherapy-induced cardiotoxicity (CIC) has been rising continuously, threatening their long-term survival. The integration of nanotechnology and biomedicine has brought about an unprecedented technological revolution and has promoted the progress of anti-tumour therapy. In this review, we summarised the possible mechanisms of CIC, evaluated the role of nanoparticles (including liposomes, polymeric micelles, dendrimers, and hydrogels) as drug carriers in preventing cardiotoxicity and proposed five advantages of nanotechnology in reducing cardiotoxicity: Liposomes cannot easily penetrate the heart's endothelial barrier; optimized delivery strategies reduce distribution in important organs, such as the heart; targeting the tumour microenvironment and niche; stimulus-responsive polymer nano-drug carriers rapidly iterate; better economic benefits were obtained. Nanoparticles can effectively deliver chemotherapeutic drugs to tumour tissues, while reducing the toxicity to heart tissues, and break through the dilemma of existing chemotherapy to a certain extent. It is important to explore the interactions between the physicochemical properties of nanoparticles and optimize the highly specific tumour targeting strategy in the future.

Abstract
The most common cancer diagnosis in female population is breast cancer, which affects every year about 2.0 million women worldwide. In recent years, significant progress has been made in oncological therapy, in systemic treatment, and in radiotherapy of breast cancer. Unfortunately, the improvement in the effectiveness of oncological treatment and prolonging patients' life span is associated with more frequent occurrence of organ complications, which are side effects of this treatment. Current recommendations suggest a periodic monitoring of the cardiovascular system in course of oncological treatment. The monitoring includes the assessment of occurrence of risk factors for cardiovascular diseases in combination with the evaluation of the left ventricular systolic function using echocardiography and electrocardiography as well as with the analysis of the concentration of cardiac biomarkers. The aim of this review was critical assessment of the breast cancer therapy cardiotoxicity and the analysis of methods its detections. The new cardio-specific biomarkers in serum, the development of modern imaging techniques (Global Longitudinal Strain and Three-Dimensional Left Ventricular Ejection Fraction) and genotyping, and especially their combined use, may become a useful tool for identifying patients at risk of developing cardiotoxicity, who require further cardiovascular monitoring or cardioprotective therapy.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Anthracycline-induced cardiomyopathy (AIC) is a significant source of morbidity and mortality in cancer survivors. The role of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) in treating AIC was evaluated in the SENECA trial, a Phase 1 National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute-sponsored study, but the mechanisms underpinning efficacy in human tissue need clarification. OBJECTIVES The purpose of this study was to perform an in vitro clinical trial evaluating the efficacy and putative mechanisms of SENECA trial-specific MSCs in treating doxorubicin (DOX) injury, using patient-specific induced pluripotent stem cell-derived cardiomyocytes (iCMs) generated from SENECA patients. METHODS Patient-specific iCMs were injured with 1 μmol/L DOX for 24 hours, treated with extracellular vesicles (EVs) from MSCs by either coculture or direct incubation and then assessed for viability and markers of improved cellular physiology. MSC-derived EVs were separated into large extracellular vesicles (L-EVs) (>200 nm) and small EVs (<220nm) using a novel filtration system. RESULTS iCMs cocultured with MSCs in a transwell system demonstrated improved iCM viability and attenuated apoptosis. L-EVs but not small EVs recapitulated this therapeutic effect. L-EVs were found to be enriched in mitochondria, which were shown to be taken up by iCMs. iCMs treated with L-EVs demonstrated improved contractility, reactive oxygen species production, ATP production, and mitochondrial biogenesis. Inhibiting L-EV mitochondrial function with 1-methyl-4-phenylpyridinium attenuated efficacy. CONCLUSIONS L-EV-mediated mitochondrial transfer mitigates DOX injury in patient-specific iCMs. Although SENECA was not designed to test MSC efficacy, consistent tendencies toward a positive effect were observed across endpoints. Our results suggest a mechanism by which MSCs may improve cardiovascular performance in AIC independent of regeneration, which could inform future trial design evaluating the therapeutic potential of MSCs.

Exploring the aging effect of the anticancer drugs doxorubicin and mitoxantrone on cardiac mitochondrial proteome using a murine model. Toxicology 2021; 459:152852.

Abstract
Current cancer therapies are successfully increasing the lifespan of cancer patients. Nevertheless, cardiotoxicity is a serious chemotherapy-induced adverse side effect. Doxorubicin (DOX) and mitoxantrone (MTX) are cardiotoxic anticancer agents, whose toxicological mechanisms are still to be identified. This study focused on DOX and MTX's cardiac mitochondrial damage and their molecular mechanisms. As a hypothesis, we also sought to compare the cardiac modulation caused by 9 mg/kg of DOX or 6 mg/kg of MTX in young adult mice (3 months old) with old control mice (aged control, 18-20 months old) to determine if DOX- and MTX-induced damage had common links with the aging process. Cardiac homogenates and enriched mitochondrial fractions were prepared from treated and control animals and analyzed by immunoblotting and enzymatic assays. Enriched mitochondrial fractions were also characterized by mass spectrometry-based proteomics. Data obtained showed a decrease in mitochondrial density in young adults treated with DOX or MTX and aged control, as assessed by citrate synthase (CS) activity. Furthermore, aged control had increased expression of the peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor γ coactivator 1 α (PGC1α) and manganese superoxide dismutase (MnSOD). Regarding the enriched mitochondrial fractions, DOX and MTX led to downregulation of proteins related to oxidative phosphorylation, fatty acid oxidation, amino acid metabolic process, and tricarboxylic acid cycle. MTX had a greater impact on malate dehydrogenase (MDH2) and pyruvate dehydrogenase E1 component subunit α (PDHA1). No significant proteomic changes were observed in the enriched mitochondrial fractions of aged control when compared to young control. To conclude, DOX and MTX promoted changes in several mitochondrial-related proteins in young adult mice, but none resembling the aged phenotype.

Abstract
Chemotherapy with anthracycline-based regimens remains a cornerstone of treatment of many solid and blood tumors but is associated with a significant risk of cardiotoxicity, which can manifest as asymptomatic left ventricular dysfunction or overt heart failure. These effects are typically dose-dependent and cumulative and may require appropriate screening strategies and cardioprotective therapies in order to minimize changes to anticancer regimens or even their discontinuation. Our current understanding of cardiac damage by anthracyclines includes a central role of oxidative stress and inflammation. The identification of these processes through circulating biomarkers or imaging techniques might then be helpful for early diagnosis and risk stratification. Furthermore, therapeutic strategies relieving oxidative stress and inflammation hold promise to prevent heart failure development or at least to mitigate cardiac damage, although further evidence is needed on their efficacy, either alone or as part of combination therapies with neurohormonal antagonists, which are the current adopted standard.

Abstract
With the development of new drugs, such as molecular-targeted drugs, and multidisciplinary therapies, cancer treatment outcomes have improved, and the number of cancer survivors is increasing every year. However, some chemotherapeutic agents cause cardiovascular complications (cancer treatment-related cardiovascular disease, CTRCVD), which affect the life prognosis and quality of life (QOL) of cancer patients. Therefore, it is necessary to select treatment methods that take into account the prognosis and QOL of cancer patients, and to take measures against CTRCVD. The mechanism of cardiotoxicity of high-risk drugs, such as doxorubicin and HER2 inhibitors, are still unclear; genetic factors, and cardiovascular disease risk factors (e.g., hypertension, dyslipidemia, and diabetes) are associated with CTRCVD progression. The establishment of methods for prevention, early diagnosis, and treatment of CTRCVD and the generation of evidence for these methods are needed. It is also necessary to develop screening methods for chemotherapy cardiotoxicity. In this review, we discuss the current status of CTRCVD, its complications, and expected countermeasures.

Abstract
Conventional chemotherapy for tumor treatment remains flawed because it fails to limit cytotoxicity to a small set of selectable tissues. Active targeting techniques for the delivery of drugs to specific sites are increasingly used to enhance drug accumulation at tumor sites with the aim of reducing side effects in vivo. Liposomes, modified with different targeting ligands, are considered to be one of the most promising targeted drug carriers. Herein, novel linear and cyclic arginine-glycine-aspartate (RGD) peptide-based lipids were synthesized to develop modified liposomal drug delivery systems with active targeting and pH-sensitivity. The RGD-modified liposomes showed excellent active targeting ability for integrin αvβ3 receptors, resulting in improved cellular uptake. The modified liposomes also enhanced intracellular doxorubicin (DOX) release because of their degradation in an acidic environment. Consequently, the RGD-modified, DOX-loaded liposomes exhibited significant antitumor efficacy and low toxicity in vitro and in vivo. In particular, 5% cRGD-lipid modified DOX-loaded liposome showed the greatest inhibition of tumor growth in mice among the tested formulations, and much less toxicity than free DOX. In conclusion, the DOX-loaded pH-sensitive liposome modified with 5% cRGD-lipid developed in the current study provides a potential approach for improved tumor therapy.

Abstract
Cardiovascular disease (CVD) complications have contributed significantly toward poor survival of cancer patients worldwide. These complications that result in myocardial and vascular damage lead to long-term multisystemic disorders. In some patient cohorts, the progression from acute to symptomatic CVD state may be accelerated due to exacerbation of underlying comorbidities such as obesity, diabetes and hypertension. In such situations, cardio-oncologists are often left with a clinical predicament in finding the optimal therapeutic balance to minimize cardiovascular risks and maximize the benefits in treating cancer. Hence, prognostically there is an urgent need for cost-effective, rapid, sensitive and patient-specific screening platform to allow risk-adapted decision making to prevent cancer therapy related cardiotoxicity. In recent years, momentous progress has been made toward the successful derivation of human cardiovascular cells from induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs). This technology has not only provided deeper mechanistic insights into basic cardiovascular biology but has also seamlessly integrated within the drug screening and discovery programs for early efficacy and safety evaluation. In this review, we discuss how iPSC-derived cardiovascular cells have been utilized for testing oncotherapeutics to pre-determine patient predisposition to cardiovascular toxicity. Lastly, we highlight the convergence of tissue engineering technologies and precision medicine that can enable patient-specific cardiotoxicity prognosis and treatment on a multi-organ level.

Abstract
The anticancer drug dasatinib (Sprycel) is a BCR-ABL1-targeted tyrosine kinase inhibitor used in treating chronic myelogenous leukemia that has been shown in clinical trials to display cardiovascular toxicities. While dasatinib potently inhibits BCR-ABL1, it is not a highly selective kinase inhibitor and may have off-target effects. A neonatal rat cardiac myocyte model was used to investigate potential mechanisms by which dasatinib damaged myocytes. The anthracycline cardioprotective drug dexrazoxane was shown to be ineffective in preventing dasatinib-induced myocyte damage. Dasatinib treatment increased doxorubicin accumulation in myocytes and doxorubicin-induced myocyte damage, likely through its ability to bind to one or more ABC-type efflux transporters. Dasatinib induced myocyte damage either after a brief treatment that mimicked the clinical situation, or more potently after continuous treatment. Dasatinib slightly induced apoptosis in myocytes as evidenced by increases in caspase-3/7 activity. Dasatinib treatment reduced pERK levels in myocytes most likely through inhibition of RAF, which dasatinib strongly inhibits. Thus, inhibition of the RAF/MEK/ERK pro-survival pathway in the heart may be, in part, a mechanism by which dasatinib induces cardiovascular toxicity.

Abstract
Advances in pediatric cancer therapies have dramatically improved the likelihood of survival. As survivors are aging, however, we are now understanding that treatment carries a significant risk of cardiovascular toxicity, which can develop immediately, or even many years after completing therapy. Anthracycline derivates are some of the most commonly used agents in pediatric oncology treatment protocols, which have a dose-dependent correlation with the development of cardiac toxicity. As we learn more about the mechanisms of toxicity, we are developing prevention strategies, including improvements in surveillance, to improve early diagnosis of heart disease. Current survivorship surveillance protocols often include screening echocardiograms to evaluate systolic function by measuring the ejection fraction or fractional shortening. However, these measurements alone are not enough to capture early myocardial changes. The use of additional imaging biomarkers, serum biomarkers, electrocardiograms, as well as cholesterol and blood pressure screening, are key to the early detection of cardiomyopathy and cardiovascular disease. Medical treatment strategies are the same as those used for heart failure from other causes, but earlier recognition and implementation can lead to improved long term outcomes.

Abstract
The manifestation of the side cardiotoxic effect of anthracycline antibiotics limits their use in the treatment of malignant processes in some patients. The review analyzes the main causes of the susceptibility of cardiomyocytes to the damaging effect of anthracyclines, primarily associated with an increase in the processes of free radical oxidation. Currently, research is widely carried out to find ways to reduce anthracycline cardiotoxicity, in particular, the use of cardioprotective agents in the complex treatment of tumors. Hydroxymethylglutaryl coenzyme A reductase inhibitors (statins) have been shown to improve the function and metabolism of the cardiovascular system under various pathological impacts, therefore, it is proposed to use them to reduce cardiotoxic complications of chemotherapy. Statins exhibit direct (hypolipidemic) and pleiotropic effects due to the blockade of mevalonic acid synthesis and downward biochemical cascades that determine their cardioprotective properties. The main point of intersection of the pharmacological activity of anthracyclines and statins is the ability of both to regulate the functioning of small GTPase from the Rho family, and their effect in this regard is the opposite. The influence of statins on the modification and membrane dislocation of Rho proteins mediates the indirect antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, endothelioprotective, antiapoptotic effect. The mechanism of statin inhibition of doxorubicin blockade of the DNA-topoisomerase complex, which may be important in preventing cardiotoxic damage during chemotherapy, is discussed. At the same time, it should be noted that the use of statins can be accompanied by adverse side effects: a provocation of increased insulin resistance and glucose tolerance, which often causes them to be canceled in patients with impaired carbohydrate metabolism, so further studies are needed here. The review also analyzes data on the antitumor effect of statins, their ability to sensitize the tumor to treatment with cytostatic drug. It has been shown that the relationship between anthracycline antibiotics and statins is characterized not only by antagonism, but also in some cases by synergism. Despite some adverse effects, statins are one of the most promising cardio- and vasoprotectors for use in anthracycline cardiomyopathy.

Biochem Pharmacol 2021; 185:114410. [PMID: 33428897 DOI: 10.1016/j.bcp.2021.114410] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/22/2020] [Revised: 01/03/2021] [Accepted: 01/05/2021] [Indexed: 10/22/2022]
Abstract
Cancer patients treated with doxorubicin are at risk of congestive heart failure due to doxorubicin-mediated cardiotoxicity via topoisomerase IIβ poisoning. Acute cardiac muscle damage occurs in response to the very first dose of doxorubicin, however, cardioprotection has been reported after co-treatment of doxorubicin with acyloxyalkyl ester prodrugs. The aim of this study was to examine the role played by various forms of acute cardiac damage mediated by doxorubicin and determine a mechanism for the cardioprotective effect of formaldehyde-releasing prodrug AN-9 (pivaloyloxymethyl butyrate). Doxorubicin-induced cardiac damage in BALB/c mice bearing mammary tumours was established with a single dose of doxorubicin (4 or 16 mg/kg) administered alone or in combination with AN-9 (100 mg/kg). AN-9 protected the heart from doxorubicin-induced myocardial apoptosis and also significantly reduced dsDNA breaks, independent from the level of doxorubicin biodistribution to the heart. Covalent incorporation of [14C]doxorubicin into DNA showed that the combination treatment yielded significantly higher levels of formaldehyde-mediated doxorubicin-DNA adducts compared to doxorubicin alone, yet this form of damage was associated with cardioprotection from apoptosis. The cardiac transcriptomic analysis indicates that the combination treatment initiates inflammatory response signalling pathways. Doxorubicin and AN-9 combination treatments were cardioprotective, yet preserved doxorubicin-mediated anti-tumour proliferation and apoptosis in mammary tumours. This was associated with a switch in doxorubicin action from cardiac topoisomerase IIβ poisoning to covalent-DNA adduct formation. Co-administration of doxorubicin and formaldehyde-releasing prodrugs, such as AN-9, may be a promising cardioprotective therapy while maintaining doxorubicin activity in primary mammary tumours.

Abstract
Overlapping commonalities between coronavirus disease of 2019 (COVID-19) and cardio-oncology regarding cardiovascular toxicities (CVT), pathophysiology, and pharmacology are special topics emerging during the pandemic. In this perspective, we consider an array of CVT common to both COVID-19 and cardio-oncology, including cardiomyopathy, ischemia, conduction abnormalities, myopericarditis, and right ventricular (RV) failure. We also emphasize the higher risk of severe COVID-19 illness in patients with cardiovascular disease (CVD) or its risk factors or cancer. We explore commonalities in the underlying pathophysiology observed in COVID-19 and cardio-oncology, including inflammation, cytokine release, the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone-system, coagulopathy, microthrombosis, and endothelial dysfunction. In addition, we examine common pharmacologic management strategies that have been elucidated for CVT from COVID-19 and various cancer therapies. The use of corticosteroids, as well as antibodies and inhibitors of various molecules mediating inflammation and cytokine release syndrome, are discussed. The impact of angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitors (ACEIs) and angiotensin receptor blockers (ARBs) is also addressed, since these drugs are used in cardio-oncology and have received considerable attention during the COVID-19 pandemic, since the culprit virus enters human cells via the angiotensin converting enzyme 2 (ACE2) receptor. There are therefore several areas of overlap, similarity, and interaction in the toxicity, pathophysiology, and pharmacology profiles in COVID-19 and cardio-oncology syndromes. Learning more about either will likely provide some level of insight into both. We discuss each of these topics in this viewpoint, as well as what we foresee as evolving future directions to consider in cardio-oncology during the pandemic and beyond. Finally, we highlight commonalities in health disparities in COVID-19 and cardio-oncology and encourage continued development and implementation of innovative solutions to improve equity in health and healing.

Abstract
PURPOSE/OBJECTIVES Node-positive breast cancer patients often receive chemotherapy and regional nodal irradiation. The cardiotoxic effects of these treatments, however, may offset some of the survival benefit. Cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) is an emerging modality to assess cardiac injury. This is a pilot trial assessing cardiac damage using CMR in patients who received anthracycline-based chemotherapy and three-dimensional conformal radiotherapy (3DCRT) regional nodal irradiation using heart constraints. MATERIALS AND METHODS Node-positive breast cancer patients (2000-2008) treated with anthracycline-based chemotherapy and 3DCRT regional nodal irradiation (including the internal mammary chain nodes) with heart ventricular constraints (V25 < 10%) were invited to participate. Cardiac tissues were contoured and analyzed separately for whole heart (pericardium) and for combined ventricles and left atrium (myocardium). CMR obtained ventricular function/dimensions, late gadolinium enhancement (LGE), global longitudinal strain (GLS), and extracellular volume fraction (ECV) as measures of cardiac injury and/or early fibrosis. CMR parameters were correlated with dose-volume constraints using Spearman correlations. RESULTS Fifteen left-sided and five right-sided patients underwent CMR. Median diagnosis age was 50 (32-77). No patients had baseline cardiac disease before regional nodal irradiation. Median time after 3DCRT was 8.3 years (5.2-14.4). Median left-sided mean heart dose (MHD) was 4.8 Gy (1.1-11.2) and V25 was 5.7% (0-12%). Median left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) was 63%. No abnormal LGE was observed. No correlations were seen between whole heart doses and LVEF, LV mass, GLS, or LV dimensions. Increasing ECV did not correlate with increased heart or ventricular doses. However, correlations between higher LV mass and ventricular mean dose, V10, and V25 were seen. CONCLUSION At a median follow-up of 8.3 years, this cohort of node-positive breast cancer patients who received anthracycline-based chemotherapy and regional nodal irradiation had no clinically abnormal CMR findings. However, correlations between ventricular mean dose, V10, and V25 and LV mass were seen. Larger corroborating studies that include advanced techniques for measuring regional heart mechanics are warranted.

Abstract
Recent therapeutic advances have significantly improved the short- and long-term survival rates in patients with heart disease and cancer. Survival in cancer patients may, however, be accompanied by disadvantages, namely, increased rates of cardiovascular events. Chemotherapy-related cardiac dysfunction is an important side effect of anticancer therapy. While advances in cancer treatment have increased patient survival, treatments are associated with cardiovascular complications, including heart failure (HF), arrhythmias, cardiac ischemia, valve disease, pericarditis, and fibrosis of the pericardium and myocardium. The molecular mechanisms of cardiotoxicity caused by cancer treatment have not yet been elucidated, and they may be both varied and complex. By identifying the functional genetic variations responsible for this toxicity, we may be able to improve our understanding of the potential mechanisms and pathways of treatment, paving the way for the development of new therapies to target these toxicities. Data from studies on genetic defects and pharmacological interventions have suggested that many molecules, primarily those regulating oxidative stress, inflammation, autophagy, apoptosis, and metabolism, contribute to the pathogenesis of cardiotoxicity induced by cancer treatment. Here, we review the progress of genetic research in illuminating the molecular mechanisms of cancer treatment-mediated cardiotoxicity and provide insights for the research and development of new therapies to treat or even prevent cardiotoxicity in patients undergoing cancer treatment. The current evidence is not clear about the role of pharmacogenomic screening of susceptible genes. Further studies need to done in chemotherapy-induced cardiotoxicity.

Abstract
Certain success has been achieved in the treatment of cancer due to the development of various effective chemotherapeutic drugs. However, an increase in their effectiveness (aggressiveness) was associated with a growth of undesirable effects on the entire human body, in particular, on the cardiovascular system. The damage to the cardiovascular system from chemotherapy in many cases is more significant than from the underlying disease. In recent years, a new direction of medicine has been formed - cardio-oncology. The major groups of cardiotoxic chemotherapeutic agents are anthracyclines, inhibitors of epidermal growth factor receptor type 2 (anti-HER2), antimetabolites, microtubule inhibitors, proteasome inhibitors, platinum-based chemotherapeutic drugs, and angiogenesis inhibitors (inhibitors of vascular endothelial growth factor). This review discusses principal pathophysiological mechanisms of the cardiotoxicity of these chemotherapeutic drugs.

Abstract
Although anthracycline (ANT)-based treatment strongly contributes to cancer survivorship, the use of these agents is limited by the risk of cardiotoxicity. For those patients who evolve to heart failure, myocardial regenerative approaches are of particular interest, and a growing body of preclinical studies has been investigating the use of cell therapy for ANT-induced cardiomyopathy (AIC). However, since animal models and modalities of cell therapy are highly heterogeneous between studies, the efficacy of cell therapy for AIC is not clear. Thus, we conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis of experimental studies reporting the use of cell therapy with mesenchymal stromal cells (MSC) or bone marrow mononuclear cells (BMMNC) in animal models of AIC with regard to global cardiac function. The Medline, EMBASE, and Web of Science databases were searched from inception to November 2019. Two reviewers independently extracted data on study quality and the results of left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) and fractional shortening (FS) obtained by echocardiography. The quality of outcomes was assessed using the Cochrane, Collaborative Approach to Meta-Analysis and Review of Animal Data from Experimental Studies (CAMARADES), and SYRCLE bias risk tools. Pooled random-effects modeling was used to calculate pooled mean differences (MD) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs). Twenty-two studies comprising 381 small animals (rabbits and rodents) were included. A pooled meta-analysis of all treatments showed that cell therapy increased LVEF by 9.87% (95% CI 7.25-12.50, P < 0.00001) and FS by 7.80% (95% CI 5.68-9.92, P < 0.00001) in small animals with AIC. Cell therapy with MSC/BMMNC is effective to mitigate the deleterious effects of ANT on cardiac function in preclinical models. Nevertheless, due to the small number of studies and considerable heterogeneity, future translational studies must be designed to diminish between-study discrepancies and increase similarity to the clinical landscape.

Abstract
Homeostatic regulation of cardiomyocytes plays a crucial role in maintaining the normal physiological activity of cardiac tissue. Severe cardiotoxicity results in cardiac diseases including but not limited to arrhythmia, myocardial infarction and myocardial hypertrophy. Drug-induced cardiotoxicity limits or forbids further use of the implicated drugs. Such drugs that are currently available in the clinic include anti-tumor drugs (doxorubicin, cisplatin, trastuzumab, etc.), antidiabetic drugs (rosiglitazone and pioglitazone), and an antiviral drug (zidovudine). This review focused on cardiomyocyte death forms and related mechanisms underlying clinical drug-induced cardiotoxicity, including apoptosis, autophagy, necrosis, necroptosis, pryoptosis, and ferroptosis. The key proteins involved in cardiomyocyte death signaling were discussed and evaluated, aiming to provide a theoretical basis and target for the prevention and treatment of drug-induced cardiotoxicity in the clinical practice.

Abstract
Significance: Despite their serious side effects, anthracyclines (ANTs) are the most prescribed chemotherapeutic drugs because of their strong efficacy in both solid and hematological tumors. A major limitation to ANTs clinical application is the severe cardiotoxicity observed both acutely and chronically. The mechanism underlying cardiac dysfunction under chemotherapy is mainly dependent on the generation of oxidative stress and systemic inflammation, both of which lead to progressive cardiomyopathy and heart failure. Recent Advances: Over the years, the iatrogenic ANTs-induced cardiotoxicity was believed to be simply given by iron metabolism and reactive oxygen species production; however, several experimental data indicate that ANTs may use alternative damaging mechanisms, such as topoisomerase 2β inhibition, inflammation, pyroptosis, immunometabolism, and autophagy. Critical Issues: In this review, we aimed at discussing ANTs-induced cardiac injury from different points of view, updating and focusing on oxidative stress and inflammation, since these pathways are not exclusive or independent from each other but they together importantly contribute to the complexity of ANTs-induced multifactorial cardiotoxicity. Future Directions: A deeper understanding of the mechanistic signaling leading to ANTs side effects could reveal crucial targeting molecules, thus representing strategic knowledge to promote better therapeutic efficacy and lower cardiotoxicity during clinical application.

A QSAR study that compares the ability of bisdioxopiperazine analogs of the doxorubicin cardioprotective agent dexrazoxane (ICRF-187) to protect myocytes with DNA topoisomerase II inhibition. Toxicol Appl Pharmacol 2020; 399:115038.

Abstract
The cardiotoxicity caused by doxorubicin and extravasation injury caused by anthracyclines is reduced by the clinically approved bisdioxopiperazine drug dexrazoxane. Dexrazoxane is a rings-closed analog of EDTA and is hydrolyzed in vivo to a form that strongly binds iron. Its protective effects were originally thought to be due to the ability of its metabolite to remove iron from the iron-doxorubicin complex, thereby preventing oxygen radical damage to cellular components. More recently it has been suggested that dexrazoxane may exert its protective effects by inhibiting topoisomerase IIβ in the heart and inducing a reduction in its protein levels through induction of proteasomal degradation. The ability of dexrazoxane, other bisdioxopiperazines, and mitindomide to protect against doxorubicin-induced damage was determined in primary neonatal rat myocytes. This QSAR study showed that the protection that a series of bisdioxopiperazine analogs of dexrazoxane and the bisimide mitindomide offered against doxorubicin-induced myocyte damage was highly correlated with the ability of these compounds to catalytically inhibit the decatenation activity of topoisomerase II. The structural features of the dexrazoxane analogs that contribute to the binding and inhibition of topoisomerase II have been identified. These results suggest that the inhibition of topoisomerase II in myocytes by dexrazoxane is central to its role in its activity as an anthracycline cardioprotective agent. Additionally, sequence identity analysis of the amino acids surrounding the dexrazoxane binding site showed extremely high identity, not only between both invertebrate topoisomerase II isoforms, but also with yeast topoisomerase II as well.

Abstract
Bisdioxopiperazine agent dexrazoxane (ICRF-187) has been the only effective and approved drug for prevention of chronic anthracycline cardiotoxicity. However, the structure-activity relationships (SARs) of its cardioprotective effects remain obscure owing to limited investigation of its derivatives/analogs and uncertainties about its mechanism of action. To fill these knowledge gaps, we tested the hypothesis that dexrazoxane derivatives exert cardioprotection via metal chelation and/or modulation of topoisomerase IIβ (Top2B) activity in chronic anthracycline cardiotoxicity. Dexrazoxane was alkylated in positions that should not interfere with the metal-chelating mechanism of cardioprotective action; that is, on dioxopiperazine imides or directly on the dioxopiperazine ring. The protective effects of these agents were assessed in vitro in neonatal cardiomyocytes. All studied modifications of dexrazoxane molecule, including simple methylation, were found to abolish the cardioprotective effects. Because this challenged the prevailing mechanistic concept and previously reported data, the two closest derivatives [(±)-4,4'-(propane-1,2-diyl)bis(1-methylpiperazine-2,6-dione) and 4-(2-(3,5-dioxopiperazin-1-yl)ethyl)-3-methylpiperazine-2,6-dione] were thoroughly scrutinized in vivo using a rabbit model of chronic anthracycline cardiotoxicity. In contrast to dexrazoxane, both compounds failed to protect the heart, as demonstrated by mortality, cardiac dysfunction, and myocardial damage parameters, although the pharmacokinetics and metal-chelating properties of their metabolites were comparable to those of dexrazoxane. The loss of cardiac protection was shown to correlate with their abated potential to inhibit and deplete Top2B both in vitro and in vivo. These findings suggest a very tight SAR between bisdioxopiperazine derivatives and their cardioprotective effects and support Top2B as a pivotal upstream druggable target for effective cardioprotection against anthracycline cardiotoxicity. SIGNIFICANCE STATEMENT: This study has revealed the previously unexpected tight structure-activity relationships of cardioprotective effects in derivatives of dexrazoxane, which is the only drug approved for the prevention of cardiomyopathy and heart failure induced by anthracycline anticancer drugs. The data presented in this study also strongly argue against the importance of metal-chelating mechanisms for the induction of this effect and support the viability of topoisomerase IIβ as an upstream druggable target for effective and clinically translatable cardioprotection.

Abstract
Topoisomerase II (TOP2)-targeting anticancer chemotherapeutic drugs, termed TOP2 poisons, are widely used and effective in the clinic by stabilizing TOP2-DNA covalent complexes to induce DNA double-strand breaks (DSBs) and ultimately, cause cell death. The stabilized TOP2-DNA complex is known to be degraded by proteasome, whereas the underlying mechanism for instant TOP2β degradation in response to TOP2 poisons and the subsequent biological consequence remain elusive. Here, we reported that TOP2 poison-induced TOP2β degradation is mediated by SCFβ-TrCP ubiquitin ligase. Specifically, DNA damage signal, triggered by teniposide (VM-26) treatment, activates ATM, cooperating with CK1 to phosphorylate TOP2β on Ser1134 and Ser1130, respectively, in a canonical degron motif to facilitate β-TrCP binding and subsequent degradation. Inactivation of ATM, CK1 or SCFβ-TrCP by small molecular inhibitors or genetic knockdown/knockout abrogates TOP2β degradation. Biologically, blockage of TOP2β degradation in combination with VM-26 treatment impairs DNA damage response and repair, leading to an accelerated cell death via apoptosis. Thus, it appears that TOP2β degradation is a cellular defensive mechanism to facilitate the exposure of DSBs to trigger DNA damage response and repair. Collectively, our findings reveal a new strategy to improve the efficacy of TOP2 poisons in combination with small-molecule inhibitors against TOP2β degradation.

Abstract
Microbes are competent chemists that are able to generate thousands of chemically complex natural products with potent biological activities. The key to the formation of this chemical diversity has been the rapid evolution of secondary metabolism. Many enzymes residing on these metabolic pathways have acquired atypical catalytic properties in comparison with their counterparts found in primary metabolism. The biosynthetic pathway of the anthracycline nogalamycin contains two such proteins, SnoK and SnoN, belonging to nonheme iron and 2-oxoglutarate-dependent mono-oxygenases. In spite of structural similarity, the two proteins catalyze distinct chemical reactions; SnoK is a C2-C5″ carbocyclase, whereas SnoN catalyzes stereoinversion at the adjacent C4″ position. Here, we have identified four structural regions involved in the functional differentiation and generated 30 chimeric enzymes to probe catalysis. Our analyses indicate that the carbocyclase SnoK is the ancestral form of the enzyme from which SnoN has evolved to catalyze stereoinversion at the neighboring carbon. The critical step in the appearance of epimerization activity has likely been the insertion of three residues near the C-terminus, which allow repositioning of the substrate in front of the iron center. The loss of the original carbocyclization activity has then occurred with changes in four amino acids near the iron center that prohibit alignment of the substrate for the formation of the C2-C5″ bond. Our study provides detailed insights into the evolutionary processes that have enabled Streptomyces soil bacteria to become the major source of antibiotics and antiproliferative agents.

Abstract
Doxorubicin is an anthracycline and one of the more effective chemotherapy agents used in the treatment of children, adolescents, and adults with osteosarcoma. Despite its effectiveness, cardiotoxicity is a major late effect that compromises the survival and quality of life of survivors of this and other cancers. Cardiotoxicity is the inability of the heart to pump blood through the body effectively. Doxorubicin-induced cardiotoxicity is dose dependent. Additionally, the age of the patients plays a role in susceptibility with younger patients having a greater risk for cardiotoxicity and heart failure years after treatment is complete. The exact mechanism(s) responsible for doxorubicin-induced cardiotoxicity is poorly understood, and further research needs to be done to elucidate the mechanisms. This chapter summarizes the identified mechanisms that may play a role in anthracycline-induced cardiotoxicity. We will also summarize the types of cardiomyopathies that have been described in survivors treated with doxorubicin and the current recommendations for monitoring survivor for the development of cardiomyopathies. Included will be the important search for defining early biomarkers to identify patients and survivors at risk. Finally, we will summarize some of the interventions proposed for decreasing anthracycline-induced cardiotoxicity.

Abstract
A series of l-lysine-conjugated pyridophenoxazinones 2-5 and 2'-5' were designed and synthesized for developing compounds with multimodal anticancer potentialities. All compounds inhibited the proliferation of a panel of human liquid and solid neoplastic cell lines. 2 and 5 were the most active compounds with IC50 values in the submicromolar range. UV-vis, 1H NMR, unwinding, and docking experiments demonstrated that they intercalate between the middle 5'-GC-3' base pairs with the carboxamide side chain lying into major groove. Charge-transfer contribution to the complex stability, evaluated by ab initio calculations, was found to correlate with cytotoxicity. Relaxation and cleavage assays showed that 2 and 5 selectively target Topo IIα over Topo IIβ and stimulate the formation of covalent Topo II-DNA complexes, functioning as poisons. Moreover, compound 5 induced DNA damage and arrested MCF-7 cells at the G2/M phase. Altogether, the work provides interesting structure-activity relationships in the pyridophenoxazinone-l-lysine conjugate series and identifies 5 as a promising candidate for further in vivo evaluation.

Abstract
Cardiac cell death is one of the major events implicated in doxorubicin-induced cardiotoxicity, which leads to heart failure. We recently reported that Yes-associated protein 1 (YAP1) regulates cell survival and apoptosis. However, it is unclear whether YAP1 regulates doxorubicin-induced cell death in cardiomyocytes. We investigated whether YAP1 is involved in doxorubicin-induced cell death using H9c2 cardiac cells and mouse heart. In an in vivo study, YAP1 protein expression was significantly decreased in hearts of doxorubicin-treated mice with increased caspase-3 activation. Doxorubicin also caused cell death by increasing caspase-3 activation in H9c2 cells. Doxorubicin reduced YAP1 protein expression and messenger RNA expression accompanied by increased phosphorylation of YAP1 at Ser127. Doxorubicin further increased cell death with increased caspase-3/7 activation in the absence of YAP1 when compared with doxorubicin or siYAP1 treatment alone. Overexpression of constitutively active YAP1 (YAP1-5SA) using an adenovirus gene transfer technique significantly reversed doxorubicin-induced cell death by decreasing caspase-3/7 activation in H9c2 cells. Akt, a potential prosurvival factor, decreased in doxorubicin- and YAP1 short interfering RNA (siRNA)-treated cells. Doxorubicin further significantly decreased Akt protein expression when YAP1 was silenced. Overexpression of YAP1 canceled decreased Akt protein expression induced by doxorubicin treatment in H9c2 cells. In conclusion, these results suggest that doxorubicin-induced cardiac cell death is mediated in part by down-regulation of YAP1 and YAP1-targeted gene, Akt. Modulating YAP1 and its related Hippo pathway on local cardiomyocytes may be a promising therapeutic approach for doxorubicin-induced cardiotoxicity.

Abstract
Doxorubicin (DOX), or Adriamycin, an anthracycline antibiotic discovered serendipitously as a chemotherapeutic drug several decades ago, is still one of the most effective drugs for treating various adult and pediatric cancers (breast cancer, Hodgkin's disease, lymphoblastic leukemia). However, one of the major side effects of the continuous use of DOX is dose-dependent, long-term, and potentially lethal cardiovascular toxicity (congestive heart failure and cardiomyopathy) in cancer survivors many years after cessation of chemotherapy. In addition, predisposition to cardiotoxicity varied considerably among individuals. The long-held notion that DOX cardiotoxicity is caused by reactive oxygen species formed from the redox-cycling of DOX semiquinone lacks rigorous proof in a chronic animal model, and administration of reactive oxygen species detoxifying agents failed to reverse DOX-induced cardiac problems. In this review, I discuss the pros and cons of the reactive oxygen species pathway as a primary or secondary mechanism of DOX cardiotoxicity, the role of topoisomerases, and the potential use of mitochondrial-biogenesis-enhancing compounds in reversing DOX-induced cardiomyopathy. New approaches for well-designed clinical trials that repurpose FDA-approved drugs and naturally occurring polyphenolic compounds prophylactically to prevent or mitigate cardiovascular complications in both pediatric and adult cancer survivors are needed. Essentially, the focus should be on enhancing mitochondrial biogenesis to prevent or mitigate DOX-induced cardiotoxicity.

Control of doxorubicin-induced, reactive oxygen-related apoptosis by glutathione peroxidase 1 in cardiac fibroblasts. Biochem Biophys Rep 2019; 21:100709.

Abstract
Reactive oxygen formation plays a mechanistic role in the cardiotoxicity of doxorubicin, a chemotherapeutic agent that remains an important component of treatment programs for breast cancer and hematopoietic malignancies. To examine the role of doxorubicin-induced reactive oxygen species (ROS) in drug-related cardiac apoptosis, murine embryonic fibroblast cell lines were derived from the hearts of glutathione peroxidase 1 (Gpx-1) knockout mice. Cells from homozygous Gpx-1 knockout mice and parental animals were propagated with (Se+) and without (Se-) 100 nM sodium selenite. Activity levels of the peroxide detoxifying selenoprotein glutathione peroxidase (GSHPx) were marginally detectable (<1.6 nmol/min/mg) in fibroblasts from homozygous knockout animals whether or not cells were supplemented with selenium. GSHPx activity in Se- cells from parental murine fibroblasts was also <1.6 nmol/min/mg, whereas GSHPx levels in Se+ parental murine fibroblasts were 12.9 ± 2.7 nmol/min/mg (mean ± SE; P < 0.05). Catalase, superoxide dismutase, glutathione reductase, glutathione S-transferase, glucose 6-phosphate dehydrogenase, and reduced glutathione activities did not differ amongst the four cell lines. Reactive oxygen production increased from 908 ± 122 (arbitrary units) for untreated control cells to 1668 ± 54 following exposure to 1 μM doxorubicin for 24 h in parental fibroblasts not supplemented with selenium (P < 0.03); reactive oxygen formation in doxorubicin-treated parental fibroblasts propagated in selenium was 996 ± 69 (P = not significant compared to untreated control cells). Reactive oxygen levels in homozygous Gpx-1 knockout fibroblasts, irrespective of selenium supplementation status, were increased and equivalent to that in selenium deficient wild type fibroblasts. When cardiac fibroblasts were exposed to doxorubicin (0.05 μM) for 96 h and examined for cell cycle alterations by flow cytometry, and apoptosis by TUNEL assay, marked G2 arrest and TUNEL positivity were observed in knockout fibroblasts in the presence or absence of supplemental selenium, and in parental fibroblasts propagated without selenium. Parental fibroblasts propagated with selenium and exposed to the same concentration of doxorubicin demonstrated modest TUNEL positivity and substantially diminished amounts of low molecular weight DNA. These results were replicated in cardiac fibroblasts exposed to doxorubicin (1–2 μM) for 2 h (to mimic clinical drug dosing schedules) and examined 96 h following initiation of drug exposure. Doxorubicin uptake in cardiac fibroblasts was similar irrespective of the mRNA expression level or activity of GSHPx. These experiments suggest that the intracellular levels of doxorubicin-induced reactive oxygen species (ROS) are modulated by GSHPx and play an important role in doxorubicin-related apoptosis and altered cell cycle progression in murine cardiac fibroblasts.

The LQB-223 Compound Modulates Antiapoptotic Proteins and Impairs Breast Cancer Cell Growth and Migration. Int J Mol Sci 2019; 20:ijms20205063. [PMID: 31614718 PMCID: PMC6834317 DOI: 10.3390/ijms20205063] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.2] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/28/2019] [Revised: 10/07/2019] [Accepted: 10/09/2019] [Indexed: 12/17/2022] Open
Abstract
Drug resistance represents a major issue in treating breast cancer, despite the identification of novel therapeutic strategies, biomarkers, and subgroups. We have previously identified the LQB-223, 11a-N-Tosyl-5-deoxi-pterocarpan, as a promising compound in sensitizing doxorubicin-resistant breast cancer cells, with little toxicity to non-neoplastic cells. Here, we investigated the mechanisms underlying LQB-223 antitumor effects in 2D and 3D models of breast cancer. MCF-7 and MDA-MB-231 cells had migration and motility profile assessed by wound-healing and phagokinetic track motility assays, respectively. Cytotoxicity in 3D conformation was evaluated by measuring spheroid size and performing acid phosphatase and gelatin migration assays. Protein expression was analyzed by immunoblotting. Our results show that LQB-223, but not doxorubicin treatment, suppressed the migratory and motility capacity of breast cancer cells. In 3D conformation, LQB-223 remarkably decreased cell viability, as well as reduced 3D culture size and migration. Mechanistically, LQB-223-mediated anticancer effects involved decreased proteins levels of XIAP, c-IAP1, and Mcl-1 chemoresistance-related proteins, but not survivin. Survivin knockdown partially potentiated LQB-223-induced cytotoxicity. Additionally, cell treatment with LQB-223 resulted in changes in the mRNA levels of epithelial-mesenchymal transition markers, suggesting that it might modulate cell plasticity. Our data demonstrate that LQB-223 impairs 3D culture growth and migration in 2D and 3D models of breast cancer exhibiting different phenotypes.

Abstract
Inhibitors targeting human topoisomerase I and topoisomerase II alpha have provided a useful chemotherapy option for the treatment of many patients suffering from a variety of cancers. While the treatment can be effective in many patient cases, use of these human topoisomerase inhibitors is limited by side-effects that can be severe. A strategy of employing the topoisomerase inhibitors in combination with other treatments can potentially sensitize the cancer to increase the therapeutic efficacy and reduce resistance or adverse side effects. The combination strategies reviewed here include inhibitors of DNA repair, epigenetic modifications, signaling modulators and immunotherapy. The ongoing investigations on cellular response to topoisomerase inhibitors and newly initiated clinical trials may lead to adoption of novel cancer therapy regimens that can effectively stop the proliferation of cancer cells while limiting the development of resistance.

Abstract
The clinical use of antineoplastic agent doxorubicin (DOX) is limited due to its cardiotoxic action. [βAla14, His15]-galanine (2-15) (G) is a novel synthetic agonist of galanin receptors GalR1-3 having cardioprotective properties in animal models in vivo. The aim of the present study was to explore effects of G on DOX-induced cardiotoxicity. Wistar rats were divided into four groups and treated with DOX (D group), DOX and G (D + G group), G (G group), and saline (control). Before treatment and at the end of the study, concentration of thiobarbituric acid reactive substances (TBARS) and activity of creatine kinase-MB (CK-MB) were determined in blood plasma, the animals were weighed, and cardiac function was evaluated by echocardiography. At the end of experiments, the hearts were used to determine energy metabolites and mitochondrial respiration in permeabilized fibers. After an 8-week study, D group exhibited a pronounced cardiac failure, the absence of weight gain, an increased plasma TBARS concentration, and CK-MB activity. These disorders were accompanied by a reduced myocardial content of high-energy phosphates and mitochondrial respiratory parameters. Co-administration of G with DOX significantly decreased plasma TBARS level and prevented an increase in plasma CK-MB activity. In D + G group, myocardial contents of ATP, PCr, total adenine nucleotides, and total creatine as well as myocardial PCr/ATP ratio and the respiratory control index were higher than in D group at the end of the experiments. Peptide G significantly improved parameters of left ventricular (LV) function and caused weight gain in animals of D + G group. These results suggest that peptide G may be a potential pharmacological agent that attenuates the cardiotoxic effects of DOX.

Abstract
Destruction of the established tumour vasculature by a class of compound termed Vascular Disrupting Agents (VDAs) is showing considerable promise as a viable approach for the management of solid tumours. VDAs induce a rapid shutdown and collapse of tumour blood vessels, leading to ischaemia and consequent necrosis of the tumour mass. Their efficacy is hindered by the persistence of a viable rim of tumour cells, supported by the peripheral normal vasculature, necessitating their co-administration with additional chemotherapeutics for maximal therapeutic benefit. However, a major limitation for the use of many cancer therapeutics is the development of life-threatening cardiovascular toxicities, with significant consequences for treatment response and the patient's quality of life. The aim of this review is to outline VDAs as a cancer therapeutic approach and define the mechanistic basis of cardiovascular toxicities of current chemotherapeutics, with the overall objective of discussing whether VDA combinations with specific chemotherapeutic classes would be good or bad in terms of cardiovascular toxicity.

Abstract
![]()
Microbial natural
products are an important source of chemical
entities for drug discovery. Recent advances in understanding the
biosynthesis of secondary metabolites has revealed how this rich chemical
diversity is generated through functional differentiation of biosynthetic
enzymes. For instance, investigations into anthracycline anticancer
agents have uncovered distinct S-adenosyl methionine (SAM)-dependent
proteins: DnrK is a 4-O-methyltransferase involved in daunorubicin
biosynthesis, whereas RdmB (52% sequence identity) from the rhodomycin
pathway catalyzes 10-hydroxylation. Here, we have mined unknown anthracycline
gene clusters and discovered a third protein subclass catalyzing 10-decarboxylation.
Subsequent isolation of komodoquinone B from two Streptomyces strains verified the biological relevance of the decarboxylation
activity. Phylogenetic analysis inferred two independent routes for
the conversion of methyltransferases into hydroxylases, with a two-step
process involving loss-of-methylation and gain-of-hydroxylation presented
here. Finally, we show that simultaneously with the functional differentiation,
the evolutionary process has led to alterations in substrate specificities.

Abstract
The genomic predisposition to oncology-drug-induced cardiovascular toxicity has been postulated for many decades. Only recently has it become possible to experimentally validate this hypothesis via the use of patient-specific human-induced pluripotent stem cells (hiPSCs) and suitably powered genome-wide association studies (GWAS). Identifying the individual single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) responsible for the susceptibility to toxicity from a specific drug is a daunting task as this precludes the use of one of the most powerful tools in genomics: comparing phenotypes to close relatives, as these are highly unlikely to have been treated with the same drug. Great strides have been made through the use of candidate gene association studies (CGAS) and increasingly large GWAS studies, as well as in vivo whole-organism studies to further our mechanistic understanding of this toxicity. The hiPSC model is a powerful technology to build on this work and identify and validate causal variants in mechanistic pathways through directed genomic editing such as CRISPR. The causative variants identified through these studies can then be implemented clinically to identify those likely to experience cardiovascular toxicity and guide treatment options. Additionally, targets identified through hiPSC studies can inform future drug development. Through careful phenotypic characterization, identification of genomic variants that contribute to gene function and expression, and genomic editing to verify mechanistic pathways, hiPSC technology is a critical tool for drug discovery and the realization of precision medicine in cardio-oncology.

Abstract
Sobuzoxane (MST-16) is an approved anticancer agent, a pro-drug of bisdioxopiperazine analog ICRF-154. Due to the structural similarity of ICRF-154 to dexrazoxane (ICRF-187), MST-16 deserves attention as a cardioprotective drug. This study presents for the first time UHPLC-MS/MS assay of MST-16, ICRF-154 and its metabolite (EDTA-diamide) in cell culture medium, buffer, plasma and cardiac cells and provides data on MST-16 bioactivation under conditions relevant to investigation of cardioprotection of this drug. The analysis of these compounds that differ considerably in their lipophilicity was achieved on the Zorbax SB-Aq column using a mixture of aqueous ammonium formate and methanol as a mobile phase. The biological samples were either diluted or precipitated with methanol, which was followed by acidification for the assay of MST-16. The method was validated for determination of all compounds in the biological materials. The application of the method for analysis of samples from in vitro experiments provided important findings, namely, that (1) MST-16 is quickly decomposed in biological environments, (2) the cardiac cells actively metabolize MST-16, and (3) MST-16 readily penetrates into the cardiac cells and is converted into ICRF-154 and EDTA-diamide. These data are useful for the in-depth examination of the cardioprotective potential of this drug.

Abstract
Cardiovascular disease may be associated with several comorbidities, including diabetes mellitus, thyroid disorders, and the metabolic syndrome, which are predominantly observed in women and often starting at particular ages. In addition, common treatment options for carcinomas frequently seen in women may induce serious cardiotoxic effects. We review the scope of the problem, the pathophysiologic mechanisms involved, as well as the resulting abnormalities regarding cardiac structure and function as observed by using imaging techniques.

Abstract
Following systematic scrutiny of the evidence in support of the hypothesis that the cardioprotective mechanism of action of dexrazoxane is mediated by a 'depletion' or 'downregulation' of Top2β protein levels in heart tissue, the author concludes that this hypothesis is untenable. In seeking to understand how dexrazoxane protects the heart, the outcomes of a customised association rule learning algorithm incorporating the use of antecedent surrogate variables (CEME, 2017 McCormack Pharma) reveal a previously unknown relationship between dexrazoxane and poly(ADP-ribose) (PAR) polymer. The author shows how this previously unknown relationship explains both acute and long-term cardioprotection in patients receiving anthracyclines. In addition, as a direct inhibitor of PAR dexrazoxane has access to the epigenome and this offers a new insight into protection by dexrazoxane against doxorubicin-induced late-onset damage [McCormack K, manuscript in preparation]. Notably, through this review article, the author illustrates the practical application of probing natural language text using an association rule learning algorithm for the discovery of new and interesting associations that, otherwise, would remain lost. Historically, the use of CEME enabled the first report of the capacity of a small molecule to catalyse the hybrid self-assembly of a nucleic acid biopolymer via canonical and non-canonical, non-covalent interactions analogous to Watson Crick and Hoogsteen base pairing, respectively.

Abstract
Cardiotoxicity is one of the main adverse effects of chemotheraphy, affecting the completion of cancer therapies and the short- and long-term quality of life. Anthracyclines are currently used to treat many cancers, including the various forms of leukemia, lymphoma, melanoma, uterine, breast, and gastric cancers. World Health Organization registered anthracyclines in the list of essential medicines. However, anthracyclines display a major cardiotoxicity that can ultimately culminate in congestive heart failure. Taking into account the growing rate of cancer survivorship, the clinical significance of anthracycline cardiotoxicity is an emerging medical issue. In this review, we focus on the key progenitor cells and cardiac cells (cardiomyocytes, fibroblasts, and vascular cells), focusing on the signaling pathways involved in cellular damage, and the clinical biomarkers in anthracycline-mediated cardiotoxicity.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Cancer patients receiving anthracycline-based chemotherapy (Anth-bC) may experience early cardiac fibrosis, which could be an important contributing mechanism to the development of impaired left ventricular (LV) function. Substance P, a neuropeptide that predominantly acts via the neurokinin 1 receptor (NK-1R), contributes to adverse myocardial remodelling and fibrosis in other cardiomyopathies. We sought to determine if NK-1R blockade is effective against doxorubicin (Dox - a frequently used Anth-bC)-induced cardiac fibrosis and cardiomyocyte apoptosis. In addition, we explored the direct effects of Dox on cardiac fibroblasts. METHODS Male Sprague-Dawley rats were randomised to receive saline, six cycles of Dox (1.5mg Dox/kg/cycle) or Dox with an NK-1R antagonist (L732138, 5mg/kg/daily through Dox treatment). At 8 weeks after the initial dose of Dox, LV function and histopathological myocardial fibrosis and cell apoptosis were assessed. Collagen secretion was measured in vitro to test direct Dox activation of cardiac fibroblasts. RESULTS Rats undergoing Dox treatment (9mg/kg cumulative dose) developed cardiac fibrosis and cardiomyocyte apoptosis. NK-1R blockade partially mitigated cardiac fibrosis while completely preventing cardiomyocyte apoptosis. This resulted in improved diastolic function. Furthermore, we found that Dox had direct effects on cardiac fibroblasts to cause increased collagen production and enhanced cell survival. CONCLUSIONS This study demonstrates that cardiac fibrosis induced by Anth-bC can be reduced by NK-1R blockade. The residual fibrotic response is likely due to direct Dox effects on cardiac fibroblasts to produce collagen.

Abstract
Doxorubicin (DOX) and Mitoxantrone (MTX) are very effective drugs for a range of tumors despite being highly cardiotoxic. DNA topoisomerase 2 beta (Top2ß) was revealed as key mediator of DOX-induced cardiotoxicity, although ROS generation is also an important mechanism. Oxidative stress is also an important issue in MTX-induced cardiotoxicity that is manifested by mitochondrial dysfunction. Studies have demonstrated the relationship between PARP-1 overactivation and cell viability in DOX-treated cardiomyocytes. In reference of MTX, data regarding PARP-1 overactivation as the mechanism responsible for cardiotoxicity is difficult to find. The aim of this study was to evaluate the influence of PARP-1 inhibitor DPQ on DOX- and MTX-mediated cardiotoxicity. Cells were exposed for 24 h to DOX or MTX in the presence or absence of DPQ. Viability, apoptosis, and genotoxicity assays were carried out. Immunofluorescence of phosphorylated histone H2AX was analyzed in H9c2 cells and cardiomyocytes from neonatal rats. Results demonstrated that DPQ co-treatment increases DOX-induced apoptosis in H9c2 cells. DPQ also prevents DOX and MTX-ROS generation in part by increasing SOD and CAT activities. Furthermore, DPQ co-treatment increased the generation of DNA strand breaks by DOX and MTX whilst also inducing phosphorylation of H2AX, MRE11, and ATM in H9c2 cells. Our results demonstrated that as well as increasing DNA damage and inducing apoptotic cell death, DPQ enhances DOX- and MTX-mediated cytotoxicity in H9c2.

Molecular Mechanisms of the Cardiotoxicity of the Proteasomal-Targeted Drugs Bortezomib and Carfilzomib. Cardiovasc Toxicol 2018; 17:237-250.

Abstract
Bortezomib and carfilzomib are anticancer drugs that target the proteasome. However, these agents have been shown to exhibit some specific cardiac toxicities by as yet unknown mechanisms. Bortezomib and carfilzomib are also being used clinically in combination with doxorubicin, which is also cardiotoxic. A primary neonatal rat myocyte model was used to study these cardiotoxic mechanisms. Exposure to submicromolar concentrations of bortezomib and carfilzomib resulted in significant myocyte damage and induced apoptosis. Both bortezomib and carfilzomib inhibited the chymotrypsin-like proteasomal activity of myocyte lysate in the low nanomolar concentration range and exhibited time-dependent inhibition kinetics. The high sensitivity of myocytes, which were determined to contain high specific levels of chymotrypsin-like proteasomal activity, to the damaging effects of bortezomib and carfilzomib was likely due to the inhibition of proteasomal-dependent ongoing sarcomeric protein turnover. A brief preexposure of myocytes to non-toxic nanomolar concentrations of bortezomib or carfilzomib greatly increased doxorubicin-mediated damage, which suggests that the combination of doxorubicin with either bortezomib or carfilzomib may produce more than additive cardiotoxicity. The doxorubicin cardioprotective agent dexrazoxane partially protected myocytes from doxorubicin plus bortezomib or carfilzomib treatment, in spite of the fact that bortezomib and carfilzomib inhibited the dexrazoxane-induced decreases in topoisomerase IIβ protein levels in myocytes. These latter results suggest that the doxorubicin cardioprotective effects of dexrazoxane and the doxorubicin-mediated cardiotoxicity were not exclusively due to targeting of topoisomerase IIβ.
