PHYTOMEDICINE : INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF PHYTOTHERAPY AND PHYTOPHARMACOLOGY 2024; 129:155673. [PMID: 38677274 DOI: 10.1016/j.phymed.2024.155673] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/23/2023] [Revised: 04/16/2024] [Accepted: 04/21/2024] [Indexed: 04/29/2024]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Doxorubicin (DOX) is a widely utilized anthracycline chemotherapy drug in cancer treatment, yet its efficacy is hindered by both short-term and long-term cardiotoxicity. Although oxidative stress, inflammation and mitochondrial dysfunction are established factors in DOX-induced cardiotoxicity, the precise molecular pathways remain elusive. Further exploration of the pathogenesis and identification of novel molecular targets are imperative. Recent studies have implicated the Sirtuins family in various physiological and pathological processes, suggesting their potential in ameliorating DOX-induced cardiotoxicity. Moreover, research on Sirtuins has discovered small-molecule compounds or medicinal plants with regulatory effects, representing a notable advancement in preventing and treating DOX-induced cardiac injury. PURPOSE In this review, we delve into the pathogenesis of DOX-induced cardiotoxicity and explore the therapeutic effects of Sirtuins in mitigating this condition, along with the associated molecular mechanisms. Furthermore, we delineate the roles and mechanisms of small-molecule regulators of Sirtuins in the prevention and treatment of DOX-induced cardiotoxicity. STUDY-DESIGN/METHODS Data for this review were sourced from various scientific databases (such as Web of Science, PubMed and Science Direct) up to March 2024. Search terms included "Sirtuins," "DOX-induced cardiotoxicity," "DOX," "Sirtuins regulators," "histone deacetylation," among others, as well as several combinations thereof. RESULTS Members of the Sirtuins family regulate both the onset and progression of DOX-induced cardiotoxicity through anti-inflammatory, antioxidative stress and anti-apoptotic mechanisms, as well as by maintaining mitochondrial stability. Moreover, natural plant-derived active compounds such as Resveratrol (RES), curcumin, berberine, along with synthetic small-molecule compounds like EX527, modulate the expression and activity of Sirtuins. CONCLUSION The therapeutic role of the Sirtuins family in mitigating DOX-induced cardiotoxicity represents a potential molecular target. However, further research is urgently needed to elucidate the relevant molecular mechanisms and to assess the safety and biological activity of Sirtuins regulators. This review offers an in-depth understanding of the therapeutic role of the Sirtuins family in mitigating DOX-induced cardiotoxicity, providing a preliminary basis for the clinical application of Sirtuins regulators in this condition.

[PMID: 38700665 PMCID: PMC11102375 DOI: 10.1007/s12012-024-09866-1] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/29/2023] [Accepted: 04/24/2024] [Indexed: 05/19/2024]
Abstract
Anthracycline antibiotic is one of the most effective anti-tumor drugs used to manage certain types of breast cancers, lymphomas, and leukemias. However, anthracyclines induce a dose-dependent cardiotoxicity that may progress to heart failure. Thus, using a sensitive predictor of early cardiac dysfunction in patients treated with anthracyclines can help detect subclinical cardiac dysfunction early and help initiate interventions to protect these patients. Among parameters of myocardial measure, cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR)-measured native myocardial T1 mapping is considered a sensitive and accurate quantitative measure of early subclinical cardiac changes, particularly cardiac inflammation and fibrosis. However, to understand the quality and the validity of the current evidence supporting the use of these measures in patients treated with anthracyclines, we aimed to conduct a systematic review of clinical studies of this measure to detect early myocardial changes in cancer patients treated with anthracyclines. The primary outcome was the level of native T1 mapping. We performed fixed-effects meta-analyses and assessed certainty in effect estimates. Of the 1780 publications reviewed (till 2022), 23 were retrieved, and 9 articles met the inclusion criteria. Our study showed that exposure to anthracycline was associated with a significant elevation of native myocardial T1 mapping from baseline (95% CI 0.1121 to 0.5802; p = 0.0037) as well as compared to healthy control patients (95% CI 0.2925 to 0.7448; p < 0.0001). No significant publication bias was noted on the assessment of the funnel plot and Egger's test. According to the Q test, there was no significant heterogeneity in the included studies (I2 = 0.0000% versus healthy controls and I2 = 14.0666% versus baseline). Overall, our study suggests that native myocardial T1 mapping is useful for detecting anthracycline-induced cardiotoxicity in patients with cancer.

J Clin Med 2024; 13:1218. [PMID: 38592677 PMCID: PMC10932277 DOI: 10.3390/jcm13051218] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/14/2023] [Revised: 02/06/2024] [Accepted: 02/17/2024] [Indexed: 04/10/2024] Open
Abstract
Objective: This study aimed to assess the potential of PARP inhibitors to prevent cardiotoxicity. Methods: First, a re-analysis and update of a previously published study was conducted. Additional searches were conducted of the PubMed and Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials databases on 2 June 2023. After the selection process, the pooled odds ratio (OR) for cardiac adverse events (AEs) was calculated. Second, the FAERS database was examined for 10 frequently co-administered anticancer agents. The reporting odds ratio (ROR) was calculated based on the occurrence of cardiac AEs depending on the co-administration of PARP inhibitors. Results: Seven studies were selected for the meta-analysis. Although not statistically significant, co-administration of PARP inhibitors with chemotherapy/bevacizumab decreased the risk of cardiac AEs (Peto OR = 0.61; p = 0.36), while co-administration with antiandrogens increased the risk of cardiac AEs (Peto OR = 1.83; p = 0.18). A total of 19 cases of cardiac AEs were reported with co-administration of PARP inhibitors in the FAERS database. Co-administration of PARP inhibitors with chemotherapy/bevacizumab significantly decreased the risk of cardiac AEs (ROR = 0.352; 95% confidence interval (CI), 0.194-0.637). On the other hand, for antiandrogens co-administered with PARP inhibitors, the ROR was 3.496 (95% CI, 1.539-7.942). The ROR for immune checkpoint inhibitors co-administered with PARP inhibitors was 0.606 (95% CI, 0.151-2.432), indicating a non-significant effect on cardiac AEs. Conclusion: This study reports that PARP inhibitors show cardioprotective effects when used with conventional anticancer agents.

Abstract
Background: Cytokine release syndrome, also termed "cytokine storm," is the leading cause of morbidity and mortality among patients with various conditions such as sepsis. While cytokine storm is associated with multiple organ damage, acute cardiac and renal injury represents a hallmark of cytokine storm. Since recent reports have suggested that cannabidiol (CBD) may assist in the treatment of inflammatory diseases, our objective was to examine the effect of CBD on cytokine storm-induced cardiac and renal injury using the lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced sepsis mouse model. Materials and Methods: At 8 weeks of age, mice were randomly assigned to receive CBD (15 mg/kg) or vehicle one hour before a single injection of either phosphate-buffered saline or LPS (10 mg/kg) for an additional 24 h. Results: Our results show that CBD improves cardiac function and reduces renal injury in a mouse model of cytokine storm. Moreover, our data indicate that CBD significantly reduces systemic and renal inflammation to contribute to the improvements observed in a cytokine storm-model of cardiac and renal injury. Conclusions: Overall, the findings of this study suggest that CBD could be repurposed to reduce morbidity in patients with cytokine storm particularly in severe infections such as sepsis.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIM Hypertension is a major global health problem that causes target organ damage (TOD) in the heart, brain, kidney, and blood vessels. The mechanisms of hypertensive TOD are not fully understood, and its treatment is challenging. This review provides an overview of the current knowledge on the role of Nod-like receptor pyrin domain containing 3 (NLRP3) inflammasome in hypertensive TOD and the natural products and formulations that inhibit it. METHODS We searched PubMed, Web of Science, Google Scholar, and CNKI for relevant articles using the keywords "hypertension," "target organ damage," "NLRP3 inflammasome," "natural products," and "formulations." We reviewed the effects of the NLRP3 inflammasome on hypertensive TOD in different organs and discussed the natural products and formulations that modulate it. KEY RESULTS In hypertensive TOD, the NLRP3 inflammasome is activated by various stimuli such as oxidative stress and inflammation. Activation of NLRP3 inflammasome leads to the production of pro-inflammatory cytokines that exacerbate tissue damage and dysfunction. Natural products and formulations, including curcumin, resveratrol, triptolide, and allicin, have shown protective effects against hypertensive TOD by inhibiting the NLRP3 inflammasome. CONCLUSIONS AND IMPLICATIONS The NLRP3 inflammasome is a promising therapeutic target in hypertensive TOD. Natural products and formulations that inhibit the NLRP3 inflammasome may provide novel drug candidates or therapies for hypertensive TOD. Further studies are needed to elucidate the molecular mechanisms and optimize the dosages of these natural products and formulations and evaluate their clinical efficacy and safety.

Abstract
Patients with sepsis are at a high risk of morbidity and mortality due to multiple organ injuries caused by pathological inflammation. Although sepsis is accompanied by multiple organ injuries, acute renal injury is a significant contributor to sepsis morbidity and mortality. Thus, dampening inflammation-induced renal injury may limit severe consequences of sepsis. As several studies have suggested that 6-formylindolo(3,2-b)carbazole (FICZ) is beneficial for treating various inflammatory diseases, we aimed to examine the potential protective effect of FICZ on the acute endotoxin-induced sepsis model of kidney injury. To test this, male C57Bl/6N mice were injected with FICZ (0.2 mg/kg) or vehicle 1 h prior to an injection of either lipopolysaccharides (LPS) (10 mg/kg), to induce sepsis, or phosphate-buffered saline for 24 h. Thereafter, gene expression of kidney injury and pro-inflammatory markers, circulating cytokines and chemokines, and kidney morphology were assessed. Our results show that FICZ reduced LPS-induced acute injury in kidneys from LPS-injected mice. Furthermore, we found that FICZ dampens both renal and systemic inflammation in our sepsis model. Mechanistically, our data indicated that FICZ significantly upregulates NAD(P)H quinone oxidoreductase 1 and heme oxygenase 1 via aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AhR) and nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 (Nrf2) in the kidneys to lessen inflammation and improve septic acute kidney injury. Overall, the data of our study show that FICZ possesses a beneficial reno-protective effect against sepsis-induced renal injury via dual activation of AhR/Nrf2.

Abstract
Inflammasomes are macromolecular platforms formed in response to damage-associated molecular patterns (DAMPs) and pathogen-associated molecular patterns, whose formation would cause maturation of interleukin-1 (IL-1) family members and gasdermin D (GSDMD), leading to IL-1 secretion and pyroptosis respectively. Several kinds of inflammasomes detecting different types of dangers have been found. The activation of inflammasomes is regulated at both transcription and posttranscription levels, which is crucial in protecting the host from infections and sterile insults. Present findings have illustrated that inflammasomes are involved in not only infection but also the pathology of tumors implying an important link between inflammation and tumor development. Generally, inflammasomes participate in tumorigenesis, cell death, metastasis, immune evasion, chemotherapy, target therapy, and radiotherapy. Inflammasome components are upregulated in some tumors, and inflammasomes can be activated in cancer cells and other stromal cells by DAMPs, chemotherapy agents, and radiation. In some cases, inflammasomes inhibit tumor progression by initiating GSDMD-mediated pyroptosis in cancer cells and stimulating IL-1 signal-mediated anti-tumor immunity. However, IL-1 signal recruits immunosuppressive cell subsets in other cases. We discuss the conflicting results and propose some possible explanations. Additionally, we also summarize interventions targeting inflammasome pathways in both preclinical and clinical stages. Interventions targeting inflammasomes are promising for immunotherapy and combination therapy.

Abstract
Doxorubicin (DOX) is a powerful and commonly used chemotherapeutic drug, used alone or in combination in a variety of cancers, while it has been found to cause serious cardiac side effects in clinical application. More and more researchers are trying to explore the molecular mechanisms of DOX-induced cardiomyopathy (DIC), in which oxidative stress and inflammation are considered to play a significant role. This review summarizes signaling pathways related to oxidative stress and inflammation in DIC and compounds that exert cardioprotective effects by acting on relevant signaling pathways, including the role of Nrf2/Keap1/ARE, Sirt1/p66Shc, Sirt1/PPAR/PGC-1α signaling pathways and NOS, NOX, Fe2+ signaling in oxidative stress, as well as the role of NLRP3/caspase-1/GSDMD, HMGB1/TLR4/MAPKs/NF-κB, mTOR/TFEB/NF-κB pathways in DOX-induced inflammation. Hence, we attempt to explain the mechanisms of DIC in terms of oxidative stress and inflammation, and to provide a theoretical basis or new idea for further drug research on reducing DIC.

Abstract
Sex is a salient risk factor in the development of doxorubicin-induced cardiotoxicity. Sex differences in the heart's ability to respond to hypertrophic stimuli in doxorubicin-exposed animals have not been reported. We identified the sexual dimorphic effects of isoproterenol in mice pre-exposed to doxorubicin. Male and female intact or gonadectomized C57BL/6N mice underwent five weekly intraperitoneal injections of 4 mg/kg doxorubicin followed by a five-week recovery period. Fourteen days of subcutaneous isoproterenol injections (10 mg/kg/day) were administered after the recovery period. Echocardiography was used to assess heart function one and five weeks after the last doxorubicin injection and on the fourteenth day of isoproterenol treatment. Thereafter, mice were euthanized, and the hearts were weighed and processed for histopathology and gene expression analysis. Doxorubicin did not produce overt cardiac dysfunction in male or female mice before starting isoproterenol treatment. The chronotropic response to a single isoproterenol injection was blunted by doxorubicin, but the inotropic response was maintained in both males and females. Pre-exposure to doxorubicin caused cardiac atrophy in both control and isoproterenol-treated male mice but not in female mice. Counterintuitively, pre-exposure to doxorubicin abrogated isoproterenol-induced cardiac fibrosis. However, there were no sex differences in the expression of markers of pathological hypertrophy, fibrosis, or inflammation. Gonadectomy did not reverse the sexually dimorphic effects of doxorubicin. Additionally, pre-exposure to doxorubicin abrogated the hypertrophic response to isoproterenol in castrated male mice but not in ovariectomized female mice. Therefore, pre-exposure to doxorubicin caused male-specific cardiac atrophy that persisted after isoproterenol treatment, which could not be prevented by gonadectomy.

Food Res Int 2023; 165:112567. [PMID: 36869555 DOI: 10.1016/j.foodres.2023.112567] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/18/2022] [Revised: 10/13/2022] [Accepted: 01/30/2023] [Indexed: 02/05/2023]
Abstract
Globally, inflammation and metabolic disorders pose serious public health problems and are major health concerns. It has been shown that natural polyphenols are effective in the treatment of metabolic diseases, including anti-inflammation, anti-diabetes, anti-obesity, neuron-protection, and cardio-protection. NLRP3 inflammasome, which are multiprotein complexes located within the cytosol, play an important role in the innate immune system. However, aberrant activation of the NLRP3 inflammasome were discovered as essential molecular mechanisms in triggering inflammatory processes as well as implicating it in several major metabolic diseases, such as type 2 diabetes mellitus, obesity, atherosclerosis or cardiovascular disease. Recent studies indicate that natural polyphenols can inhibit NLRP3 inflammasome activation. In this review, the progress of natural polyphenols preventing inflammation and metabolic disorders via targeting NLRP3 inflammasome is systemically summarized. From the viewpoint of interfering NLRP3 inflammasome activation, the health effects of natural polyphenols are explained. Recent advances in other beneficial effects, clinical trials, and nano-delivery systems for targeting NLRP3 inflammasome are also reviewed. NLRP3 inflammasome is targeted by natural polyphenols to exert multiple health effects, which broadens the understanding of polyphenol mechanisms and provides valuable guidance to new researchers in this field.

Clin Exp Pharmacol Physiol 2023; 50:353-368. [PMID: 36786378 DOI: 10.1111/1440-1681.13760] [Citation(s) in RCA: 11] [Impact Index Per Article: 11.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/02/2022] [Revised: 01/29/2023] [Accepted: 02/07/2023] [Indexed: 02/15/2023]
Abstract
Immune reactions are involved in both tumour and normal tissue in response to therapy. Elevated secretion of certain chemokines, exosomes and cytokines triggers inflammation, pain, fibrosis and ulceration among other normal tissue side effects. On the other hand, secretion of tumour-promoting molecules suppresses activity of anticancer immune cells and facilitates the proliferation of malignant cells. Novel anticancer drugs such as immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) boost anticancer immunity via inducing the proliferation of anticancer cells such as natural killer (NK) cells and CD8+ T lymphocytes. Certain chemotherapy drugs and radiotherapy may induce anticancer immunity in the tumour, however, both have severe side effects for normal tissues through stimulation of several immune responses. Thus, administration of natural products with low side effects may be a promising approach to modulate the immune system in both tumour and normal organs. Resveratrol is a well-known phenol with diverse effects on normal tissues and tumours. To date, a large number of experiments have confirmed the potential of resveratrol as an anticancer adjuvant. This review focuses on ensuing stimulation or suppression of immune responses in both tumour and normal tissue after radiotherapy or anticancer drugs. Later on, the immunoregulatory effects of resveratrol in both tumour and normal tissue following exposure to anticancer agents will be discussed.

Abstract
Despite significant advances and the continuous development of novel, effective therapies to treat a variety of malignancies, cancer therapy-induced cardiotoxicity has been identified as a prominent cause of morbidity and mortality, closely competing with secondary malignancies. This unfortunate limitation has prompted the inception of the field of cardio-oncology with its purpose to provide the necessary knowledge and key information on mechanisms that support the use of the most efficacious cancer therapy with minimal or no interruption while paying close attention to preventing cardiovascular related morbidity and mortality. Several mechanisms that contribute to cancer therapy-induced cardiotoxicity have been proposed and studied. These mainly involve mitochondrial dysfunction and reactive oxygen species-induced oxidative stress, lysosomal damage, impaired autophagy, cell senescence, DNA damage, and sterile inflammation with the formation and activation of the NLRP3 inflammasome. In this review, we focus on describing the principal mechanisms for different classes of cancer therapies that lead to cardiotoxicity involving the NLRP3 inflammasome. We also summarize current evidence of cardio-protection with inflammasome inhibitors in the context of heart disease in general, and further highlight the potential application of this evidence for clinical translation in at risk patients for the purpose of preventing cancer therapy associated cardiovascular morbidity and mortality.

Abstract
Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) are one of the most prevalent medical conditions of modern era and are one of the primary causes of adult mortality in both developing and developed countries. Conventional medications such as use of aspirin, beta-blockers, statins and angiotensin- converting enzyme inhibitors involve use of drugs with many antagonistic effects. Hence, alternative therapies which are safe, effective, and relatively cheap are increasingly being investigated for the treatment and prevention of CVDs. The secondary metabolites of medicinal plants contain several bioactive compounds which have emerged as alternatives to toxic modern medicines. The detrimental effects of CVDs can be mitigated via the use of various bioactive phytochemicals such as catechin, isoflavones, quercetin etc. present in medicinal plants. Current review intends to accumulate previously published data over the years using online databases concerning herbal plant based secondary metabolites that can help in inhibition and treatment of CVDs. An in-depth review of various phytochemical constituents with therapeutic actions such as antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, vasorelaxant, anti-hypertensive and cardioprotective properties has been delineated. An attempt has been made to provide a probable mechanistic overview for the pertinent phytoconstituent which will help in achieving a better prognosis and effective treatment for CVDs.

Abstract
Cardiotoxicity is a serious complication of cancer therapy. It is the second leading cause of morbidity and mortality in cancer survivors and is associated with a variety of factors, including oxidative stress, inflammation, apoptosis, autophagy, endoplasmic reticulum stress, and abnormal myocardial energy metabolism. A number of studies have shown that traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) can mitigate chemoradiotherapy-associated cardiotoxicity via these pathways. Therefore, this study reviews the effects and molecular mechanisms of TCM on chemoradiotherapy-related cardiotoxicity. In this study, we searched PubMed for basic studies on the anti-cardiotoxicity of TCM in the past 5 years and summarized their results. Angelica Sinensis, Astragalus membranaceus Bunge, Danshinone IIA sulfonate sodium (STS), Astragaloside (AS), Resveratrol, Ginsenoside, Quercetin, Danggui Buxue Decoction (DBD), Shengxian decoction (SXT), Compound Danshen Dripping Pill (CDDP), Qishen Huanwu Capsule (QSHWC), Angelica Sinensis and Astragalus membranaceus Bunge Ultrafiltration Extract (AS-AM),Shenmai injection (SMI), Xinmailong (XML), and nearly 60 other herbs, herbal monomers, herbal soups and herbal compound preparations were found to be effective as complementary or alternative treatments. These preparations reduced chemoradiotherapy-induced cardiotoxicity through various pathways such as anti-oxidative stress, anti-inflammation, alleviating endoplasmic reticulum stress, regulation of apoptosis and autophagy, and improvement of myocardial energy metabolism. However, few clinical trials have been conducted on these therapies, and these trials can provide stronger evidence-based support for TCM.

Abstract
Innovative therapeutic strategies in childhood cancer led to a significant reduction in cancer-related mortality. Cancer survivors are a growing fragile population, at risk of long-term side effects of cancer treatments, thus requiring customized clinical attention. Antineoplastic drugs have a wide toxicity profile that can limit their clinical usage and spoil patients’ life, even years after the end of treatment. The cardiovascular system is a well-known target of antineoplastic treatments, including anthracyclines, chest radiotherapy and new molecules, such as tyrosine kinase inhibitors. We investigated nutritional changes in children with cancer from the diagnosis to the end of treatment and dietary habits in cancer survivors. At diagnosis, children with cancer may present variable degrees of malnutrition, potentially affecting drug tolerability and prognosis. During cancer treatment, the usage of corticosteroids can lead to rapid weight gain, exposing children to overweight and obesity. Moreover, dietary habits and lifestyle often dramatically change in cancer survivors, who acquire sedentary behavior and weak adherence to dietary guidelines. Furthermore, we speculated on the role of nutrition in the primary prevention of cardiac damage, investigating the potential cardioprotective role of diet-derived compounds with antioxidative properties. Finally, we summarized practical advice to improve the dietary habits of cancer survivors and their families.

Abstract
Selenium (Se), an essential nutrient for humans, has been reported to possess cardioprotective effect. However, the protective effects of Se against doxorubicin (DOX)-induced cardiotoxicity and the underlying mechanism are rarely reported. In this study, we sought to explore whether Se protected against DOX-induced cardiotoxicity by inhibiting Nrf2-NLRP3 pathway. We found that Se treatment effectively alleviated DOX-induced myocardial dysfunctions, decreasing plasma markers associated with myocardial injury. Moreover, Se treatment significantly inhibited DOX-induced oxidative damages and pro-inflammatory cytokine expression in heart tissues. Furthermore, Se treatment markedly promoted the expression of Nrf2 and prevented the activation of NLRP3 inflammasome. Importantly, suppression of Nrf2 abolished the cardioprotective effects of Se and diminished the inhibition of Se on NLRP3 inflammasome. Collectively, our study demonstrated that Se might protect against DOX-induced cardiotoxicity via regulating Nrf2-NLRP3 pathway. Se supplementation may be a potential therapeutic strategy to protect against DOX-induced cardiac injury.

Abstract
AIMS Hypertension is one of the major causes of cardiac damage. In this study, the effects of resveratrol supplementation and regular exercise on hypertension-induced cellular stress responses of myocardium were compared. MAIN METHODS Hypertension was induced in male Wistar rats by deoxycorticosterone-acetate + salt administration for 12 weeks. Resveratrol and regular exercise were applied for the last six weeks. In addition to biochemical and molecular examinations, isoprenaline, phenylephrine and, acetylcholine-mediated contractions and sinus rate were recorded in the isolated cardiac tissues. KEY FINDINGS Resveratrol and regular exercise reduced systolic blood pressure in hypertensive rats. The altered adrenergic and cholinergic responses of the right atrium and left papillary muscles in hypertension were separately improved by resveratrol and regular exercise. Resveratrol and regular exercise decreased plasma and cardiac total antioxidant capacity and, augmented the expression of antioxidant genes in hypertensive rats. While regular exercise restored the increase in p-PERK expression associated with endoplasmic reticulum stress and decrease in mitophagic marker PINK1 expression, resveratrol only ameliorated PINK1 expression in hypertensive rats. Resveratrol and exercise training suppressed hypertension-induced NLRP3 inflammasome activation by reversing the increase in NLRP3, p-NF-κB expression and the mature-IL-1β/pro-IL-1β and cleaved-caspase-1/pro-caspase-1 ratio. Resveratrol and exercise enhanced mRNA expression of caspase-3, bax, and bcl-2 involved in the apoptotic pathway, but attenuated phosphorylation of stress-related mitogenic proteins p38 and JNK induced by hypertension. SIGNIFICANCE Our study demonstrated the protective effect of resveratrol and exercise on hypertension-induced cardiac dysfunction by modulating cellular stress responses including oxidative stress, ER stress, mitophagy, NLRP3 inflammasome-mediated inflammation, and mitogenic activation.

Abstract
Although chimeric antigen receptor-modified (CAR) T cell therapy has been successfully applied in the treatment of acute B lymphocytic leukemia, its effect on Burkitt lymphoma (BL) and chronic B lymphocytic leukemia (B-CLL) is unsatisfactory. Moreover, fatal side effects greatly impede CAR T cell application. Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are excellent carriers of therapeutic agents. Nevertheless, EVs mainly accumulate in the liver when administered without modification. As an envelope glycoprotein of Epstein–Barr viruses, gp350 can efficiently bind CD21 on B cells. Here, gp350 was directly anchored onto red blood cell EVs (RBC-EVs) via its transmembrane region combined with low-voltage electroporation. The results showed that gp350 could anchor to RBC-EVs with high efficiency and that the resulting gp350-anchored RBC-EVs (RBC-EVs/gp350Etp) exhibited increased targeting to CD21+ BL and B-CLL relative to RBC-EVs. After the loading of doxorubicin or fludarabine, RBC-EVs/gp350Etp had powerful cytotoxicity and therapeutic efficacy on CD21+ BL or B-CLL, respectively. Moreover, RBC-EVs/gp350Etp loaded with a drug did not exhibit any apparent systemic toxicity and specifically induced the apoptosis of tumor B cells but not normal B cells. Therefore, our findings indicate that drug-loaded RBC-EVs/gp350Etp may be adopted in the treatment of CD21+ B cell malignancies.

Jin X, Yu W, Ye P. MiR-125b enhances doxorubicin-induced cardiotoxicity by suppressing the nucleus-cytoplasmic translocation of YAP via targeting STARD13. ENVIRONMENTAL TOXICOLOGY 2022; 37:730-740. [PMID: 34921586 DOI: 10.1002/tox.23438] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/28/2021] [Revised: 11/09/2021] [Accepted: 12/05/2021] [Indexed: 06/14/2023]
Abstract
The clinical application of doxorubicin (Dox) is limited due to its cardiotoxicity, while the pathogenesis remains to be fully understood. Recent studies have suggested that microRNA (miRNA) plays an important role in Dox-induced cardiotoxicity. This work aims to investigate the effects of miR-125b in Dox-induced cardiotoxicity. Here, mice model combined with cell line analysis were used, and cell viability assay, detection of reactive oxygen species (ROS), malondialdehyde (MDA) activity, lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) activity, glutathione (GSH) level, glutathione peroxidase (GSH-Px) level, superoxide dismutase (SOD) activity, and histopathological changes were performed to characterize miR-125b effects; real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction (PCR), luciferase reporter assay, RNA immunoprecipitation, and western blot analysis were subjected to reveal the underlying mechanisms. It was found that miR-125b level was upregulated in myocardial cell line H9C2 treated with Dox and miR-125b overexpression enhanced Dox-induced cytotoxicology of H9C2 cells, while miR-125b inhibition exhibited a protective effect by measuring ROS level and cell viability. In consistent, in vivo experiments with miR-125b agomir or antagomir obtained a consistent result through examining the activity of MDA, LDH, GSH, GSH-Px, SOD, and histopathological changes. Furthermore, we found that miR-125b could target STARD13 and thus suppressed the nucleus-cytoplasmic translocation of yes-associated protein (YAP). Additionally, this STARD13/YAP axis is necessary for miR-125b-mediated regulation on Dox-induced cytotoxicology of H9C2 cells. In conclusion, our study demonstrated that miR-125b could enhance Dox-induced cardiotoxicity through targeting the STARD13/YAP axis.

Abstract
Doxorubicin (DOX) is a widely used and effective antineoplastic drug; however, its clinical application is limited by cardiotoxicity. A safe and effective strategy to prevent from doxorubicin-induced cardiotoxicity (DIC) is still beyond reach. Elabela (ELA), a new APJ ligand, has exerted cardioprotective effect against multiple cardiovascular diseases. Here, we asked whether ELA alleviates DIC. Mice were injected with DOX to established acute DIC. In vivo studies were assessed with echocardiography, serum cTnT and CK-MB, HW/BW ratio and WGA staining. Cell death and atrophy were measured by AM/PI staining and phalloidin staining respectively in vitro. Autophagic flux was monitored with Transmission electron microscopy in vivo, as well as LysoSensor and mRFP-GFP-LC3 puncta in vitro. Our results showed that ELA improved cardiac dysfunction in DIC mice. ELA administration also attenuated cell death and atrophy in DOX-challenged neonatal rat cardiomyocytes (NRCs). Additionally, we found that ELA restored DOX-induced autophagic flux blockage, which was evidenced by the reverse of p62 and LC3II, improvement of lysosome function and accelerated degradation of accumulated autolysosomes. Chloroquine, a classical autophagic flux inhibitor, blunted the improvement of ELA on cardiac dysfunction. At last, we revealed that ELA reversed DOX-induced downregulation of transcription factor EB (TFEB), and silencing TFEB by siRNA abrogated the effects of ELA on autophagic flux as well as cell death and atrophy in NRCs. In conclusion, this study indicated that ELA ameliorated DIC through enhancing autophagic flux via activating TFEB. ELA may become a potential target against DIC.

Abstract
Left ventricular (LV) mass loss is prevalent in doxorubicin (DOX)-induced cardiotoxicity and is responsible for the progressive decline of cardiac function. Comparing with the well-studied role of cell death, the part of cardiomyocyte atrophy (CMA) playing in the LV mass loss is underestimated and the knowledge of the underlying mechanism is still limited. In this review, we summarized the recent advances in the DOX-induced CMA. We found that the CMA caused by DOX is associated with the upregulation of FOXOs and “atrogenes,” the activation of transient receptor potential canonical 3-NADPH oxidase 2 (TRPC3-Nox2) axis, and the suppression of IGF-1-PI3K signaling pathway. The imbalance of anabolic and catabolic process may be the common final pathway of these mechanisms. At last, we provided some strategies that have been demonstrated to alleviate the DOX-induced CMA in animal models.

Abstract
BACKGROUND As a natural isoquinoline alkaloid, palmatine (PLT) has been proven to play a protective role against a variety of cardiovascular diseases. However, little research on the effects of PLT on doxorubicin (DOX)-induced cardiotoxicity has been carried out. Thus, we investigated the potential functions of PLT in DOX-induced cardiotoxicity. In the present study, a single intraperitoneal injection of DOX (15 mg/kg) in mice was used to establish an acute cardiotoxicity model. Our study shows that PLT administration could reduce myocardial injury and improve cardiac dysfunction in DOX-treated mice. Further experiments showed that PLT administration suppressed the DOX-induced inflammatory response, oxidative damage and cardiomyocyte apoptosis in mice. Moreover, we found that the protective effect of PLT treatment was counteracted by sirtuin1 (Sirt1) knockdown. In summary, our study shows that PLT treatment can exert a protective effect against DOX-induced cardiotoxicity.

Abstract
Cancer survivorship has remarkably improved over the past decades; nevertheless, cancer survivors are burdened with multiple health complications primarily caused by their cancer therapy. Therapy-induced senescence is recognized as a fundamental mechanism contributing to adverse health complications in cancer survivors. In this mini-review, we will discuss the recent literature describing the mechanisms of cancer therapy-induced senescence. We will focus on endothelial cell senescence since it has been shown to be a key player in numerous cardiovascular complications. We will also discuss novel senotherapeutic approaches that have the potential to combat therapy-induced endothelial cell senescence.

Abstract
Childhood cancer survivors have a high risk for premature cardiovascular diseases, mainly due to cardiotoxic cancer treatments such as doxorubicin (DOX). Psychosocial stress is a significant cardiovascular risk factor and an enormous burden in childhood cancer survivors. Although observational studies suggest that psychosocial stress is associated with cardiovascular complications in cancer survivors, there is no translationally relevant animal model to study this interaction. We established a "two-hit" model in which juvenile mice were administered DOX (4 mg/kg/week for 3 weeks), paired to a validated model of chronic subordination stress (CSS) 5 weeks later upon reaching adulthood. Blood pressure, heart rate, and activity were monitored by radio-telemetry. At the end of CSS experiment, cardiac function was assessed by echocardiography. Cardiac fibrosis and inflammation were assessed by histopathologic analysis. Gene expressions of inflammatory and fibrotic markers were determined by PCR. Juvenile exposure to DOX followed by adult-onset CSS caused cardiac fibrosis and inflammation as evident by histopathologic findings and upregulated gene expression of multiple inflammatory and fibrotic markers. Intriguingly, juvenile exposure to DOX blunted CSS-induced hypertension but not CSS-induced tachycardia. There were no significant differences in cardiac function parameters among all groups, but juvenile exposure to DOX abrogated the hypertrophic response to CSS. In conclusion, we established a translationally relevant mouse model of juvenile DOX-induced cardiotoxicity that predisposes to adult-onset stress-induced adverse cardiac remodeling. Psychosocial stress should be taken into consideration in cardiovascular risk stratification of DOX-treated childhood cancer survivors.

Abstract
Doxorubicin (DOX) is an effective and widely used antineoplastic drug. However, its clinical application is limited due to its dose-dependent cardiotoxicity. Great efforts have been made to explore the pathological mechanism of DOX-induced cardiotoxicity (DIC), but new drugs and strategies to alleviate cardiac damage are still needed. Here, we aimed to investigate the effect of nicotinamide mononucleotide (NMN) on DIC in rats. The results of the present study showed that DOX treatment significantly induced cardiac dysfunction and cardiac injury, whereas NMN alleviated these changes. In addition, NMN inhibited Dox-induced activation of nucleotide-binding domain-like receptor protein 3 (NLRP3) inflammasome-mediated inflammation, as evidenced by decreased caspase 1 and IL-1β activity. Moreover, NMN treatment increased glutathione (GSH) levels and superoxide dismutase (SOD) activity and decreased the levels of malondialdehyde (MDA) and reactive oxygen species (ROS) in DOX-treated rats. Furthermore, NMN treatment mitigated DOX-induced cardiomyocyte apoptosis and cardiac fibrosis. In conclusion, the results indicated that NMN protects against DIC in rats by inhibiting NLRP3 inflammasome activation, oxidative stress, and apoptosis.

Abstract
Cell death is now understood to be a highly regulated process that contributes to normal development and tissue homeostasis, alongside its role in the etiology of various pathological conditions. Through detailed molecular analysis, we have come to know that all cells do not always die in the same way, and that there are at least 7 processes involved, including: apoptosis, mitochondrial permeability transition (MPT)-driven necrosis, necroptosis, ferroptosis, pyroptosis, parthanatos, and autophagy-mediated cell death. These processes act as pieces in the mosaic of cardiomyocyte cell death, which come together depending on context and stimulus. This review details each individual process, as well as highlights how they come together to produce various cardiac pathologies. By knowing how the pieces go together we can aim towards the development of efficacious therapeutics, which will enable us to prevent cardiomyocyte loss in the face of stress, both reducing mortality and improving quality of life.

Abstract
Doxorubicin (DOX) is one of the most widely used chemo-therapeutic agents in pediatric oncology. DOX elicits an inflammatory response in multiple organs, which contributes to DOX-induced adverse effects. Cancer itself causes inflammation leading to multiple pathologic conditions. The current study investigated the inflammatory response to DOX and tumors using an EL4-lymphoma, immunocompetent, juvenile mouse model. Four-week old male C57BL/6N mice were injected subcutaneously with EL4 lymphoma cells (5 × 104 cells/mouse) in the flank region, while tumor-free mice were injected with vehicle. Three days following tumor implantation, both tumor-free and tumor-bearing mice were injected intraperitoneally with either DOX (4 mg/kg/week) or saline for 3 weeks. One week after the last DOX injection, the mice were euthanized and the hearts, livers, kidneys, and serum were harvested. Gene expression and serum concentration of inflammatory markers were quantified using real-time PCR and ELISA, respectively. DOX treatment significantly suppressed tumor growth in tumor-bearing mice and caused significant cardiac atrophy in tumor-free and tumor-bearing mice. EL4 tumors elicited a strong inflammatory response in the heart, liver, and kidney. Strikingly, DOX treatment ameliorated tumor-induced inflammation paradoxical to the effect of DOX in tumor-free mice, demonstrating a widely divergent effect of DOX treatment in tumor-free versus tumor-bearing mice.

Abstract
Doxorubicin (DOX) is a potent chemotherapeutic agent; however, the accompanying cardiotoxicity is a significant complication of the usefulness of treatment with DOX. Multiple mechanisms have been suggested for this often fatal side effect, one of which is inflammation. Several pathways with different targets have been reported to result in DOX-induced heart inflammation. Some natural occurring compounds (NCs) have been reported to interact with the DOX-induced cardiotoxicity through targeting one or more of several pathways, including the Nrf2/NF-kB, TLR-4/NF-kB, MAPK/NF-kB, and NLRP3 inflammasome pathways. This article reviews several of these pathways and the potential protective effect of some NCs against the cardiac inflammation induced by DOX.

Abstract
Background Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) participate in regulation of gene transcription, but little is known about the correlation among resveratrol and lncRNAs. This study aimed to identify and validate the key lncRNAs in resveratrol protect against IL-1β-treated chondrocytes. Methods In this experiment, high-throughput sequencing technique was performed to identify the differentially expressed lncRNAs, miRNAs, and mRNAs between IL-1β-treated chondrocytes with or not resveratrol. Moreover, gene ontology and KEGG pathway of the differentially expressed genes were carried out by R software. Then, lncRNA-miRNA-mRNA network was constructed by Cytoscape software. Venn diagram was performed to identify the potentially target miRNAs of LINC00654. Then, real-time polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) was performed to validate the most significantly differentially expressed lncRNAs. Results Totally, 1016 differentially expressed lncRNAs were identified (493 downregulated) between control and resveratrol-treated chondrocytes. Totally, 75 differentially expressed miRNAs were identified (downregulated = 54, upregulated = 21). Totally, 3308 differentially expressed miRNAs were identified (downregulated = 1715, upregulated = 1593). GO (up) were as follows: skin development, response to organophosphorus. GO (down) mainly included visual perception, single fertilization, and sensory perception of smell. KEGG (up) were as follows: TNF signaling pathway and TGF-beta signaling pathway. KEGG (down) were as follows: viral protein interaction with cytokine and cytokine receptor. We identified that LINC00654 and OGFRL1 were upregulated in resveratrol-treated chondrocytes. However, miR-210-5p was downregulated in resveratrol-treated chondrocytes. Conclusion In sum, the present study for the first time detected the differential expressed lncRNAs involved in resveratrol-treated chondrocytes via employing bioinformatic methods.
