Cardiovascular magnetic resonance characterization of myocardial tissue injury in a miniature swine model of cancer therapy-related cardiovascular toxicity. J Cardiovasc Magn Reson 2024; 26:101033. [PMID: 38460840 PMCID: PMC11126930 DOI: 10.1016/j.jocmr.2024.101033] [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: 11/03/2023] [Revised: 02/12/2024] [Accepted: 02/26/2024] [Indexed: 03/11/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) is the most commonly clinically used imaging parameter for assessing cancer therapy-related cardiac dysfunction (CTRCD). However, LVEF declines may occur late, after substantial injury. This study sought to investigate cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) imaging markers of subclinical cardiac injury in a miniature swine model. METHODS Female Yucatan miniature swine (n = 14) received doxorubicin (2 mg/kg) every 3 weeks for 4 cycles. CMR, including cine, tissue characterization via T1 and T2 mapping, and late gadolinium enhancement (LGE) were performed on the same day as doxorubicin administration and 3 weeks after the final chemotherapy cycle. In addition, magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS) was performed during the 3 weeks after the final chemotherapy in 7 pigs. A single CMR and MRS exam were also performed in 3 Yucatan miniature swine that were age- and weight-matched to the final imaging exam of the doxorubicin-treated swine to serve as controls. CTRCD was defined as histological early morphologic changes, including cytoplasmic vacuolization and myofibrillar loss of myocytes, based on post-mortem analysis of humanely euthanized pigs after the final CMR exam. RESULTS Of 13 swine completing 5 serial CMR scans, 10 (77%) had histological evidence of CTRCD. Three animals had neither histological evidence nor changes in LVEF from baseline. No absolute LVEF <40% or LGE was observed. Native T1, extracellular volume (ECV), and T2 at 12 weeks were significantly higher in swine with CTRCD than those without CTRCD (1178 ms vs. 1134 ms, p = 0.002, 27.4% vs. 24.5%, p = 0.03, and 38.1 ms vs. 36.4 ms, p = 0.02, respectively). There were no significant changes in strain parameters. The temporal trajectories in native T1, ECV, and T2 in swine with CTRCD showed similar and statistically significant increases. At the same time, there were no differences in their temporal changes between those with and without CTRCD. MRS myocardial triglyceride content substantially differed among controls, swine with and without CTRCD (0.89%, 0.30%, 0.54%, respectively, analysis of variance, p = 0.01), and associated with the severity of histological findings and incidence of vacuolated cardiomyocytes. CONCLUSION Serial CMR imaging alone has a limited ability to detect histologic CTRCD beyond LVEF. Integrating MRS myocardial triglyceride content may be useful for detection of early potential CTRCD.

Abstract
The chemotherapy drug doxorubicin (DOX) is an anthracycline with over 30% incidence of liver injury in breast cancer patients, yet the mechanism of its hepatotoxicity remains unclear. To identify potential biomarkers for anthracycline-induced hepatotoxicity (AIH), we generated clinically-relevant mouse and rat models administered low-dose, long-term DOX. These models exhibited significant liver damage but no decline in cardiac function. Through untargeted metabolic profiling of the liver, we identified 27 differential metabolites in a mouse model and 28 in a rat model. We then constructed a metabolite-metabolite network for each animal model and computationally identified several potential metabolic markers, with particular emphasis on aromatic amino acids, including phenylalanine, tyrosine, and tryptophan. We further performed targeted metabolomics analysis on DOX-treated 4T1 breast cancer mice for external validation. We found significant (p < 0.001) reductions in hepatic levels of phenylalanine and tyrosine (but not tryptophan) following DOX treatment, which were strongly correlated with serum aminotransferases (ALT and AST) levels. In summary, the results of our study present compelling evidence supporting the use of phenylalanine and tyrosine as metabolic signatures of AIH.

Untargeted metabolomics reveals the combination effects and mechanisms of Huangqi-fuzi herb-pair against doxorubicin-induced cardiotoxicity. JOURNAL OF ETHNOPHARMACOLOGY 2023; 305:116109. [PMID: 36587877 DOI: 10.1016/j.jep.2022.116109] [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: 07/16/2022] [Revised: 12/21/2022] [Accepted: 12/23/2022] [Indexed: 06/17/2023]
Abstract
ETHNOPHARMACOLOGICAL RELEVANCE Qifu decoction (QFD) is a famous traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) composed of Astragali Radix (HuangQi) and Aconiti Lateralis Radix Praeparaia (Fuzi), which can alleviate doxorubicin (DOX)-induced cardiotoxicity (DIC). However, its protective mechanism remains obscured. AIM OF THE STUDY The present study aimed to uncover the cardioprotective mechanism and the synergistic effect of QFD against DIC in mice. MATERIALS AND METHODS The cardioprotective activity of QFD against DIC was assessed by electrocardiogram, serum biochemical assays and histopathology. Mass spectrometry-based metabolomic approach was conducted to elucidate the preventive mechanisms of QFD, HuangQi decoction (HQD), and Fuzi decoction (FZD) against DIC. QFD, HQD, FZD-targeted metabolic pathways were identified and compared to investigate the synergistic mechanism of QFD by computational systems analysis. Quantitative real-time PCR (qRT-PCR) was further employed to validate the key metabolic pathways at the level of the gene. RESULTS The electrocardiogram combined with the biochemical analysis and histopathology showed that the protection effects were sorted as QFD > HQD ≈ FZD. A total of 41 metabolites contributing to DIC were identified in the mice serum, among which 32, 12 and 10 metabolites were significantly reverted by QFD, HQD and FZD, respectively. Metabolic pathway analysis revealed that DOX perturbed 12 metabolic pathways, and QFD, HQD, and FZD-treated groups could significantly reverse 12, 7 and 6 metabolic pathways of these 12 metabolic pathways. Metabolic pathway and qRT-PCR revealed that QFD could protect DIC mainly by regulating energy metabolism, amino acids metabolism, arachidonic acid metabolism and glycerophospholipid metabolism, and HQD and FZD mutually reinforced each other. CONCLUSION These evidences revealed that QFD was a promising drug candidate for DIC by maintaining metabolic homeostasis. Meanwhile, this work provided a useful approach for evaluating the efficacy and the synergistic effects of TCMs against cardiomyopathy.

Abstract
Doxorubicin (DOX) is a cornerstone of chemotherapy for solid tumors and leukemias. DOX-induced cognitive impairment, termed chemo brain, has been reported in cancer survivors, whereas its mechanism remains poorly understood. Here we initially evaluated the cognitive impairments of mice treated with clinically relevant, long-term, low-dosage of DOX. Using HILIC-MS/MS-based targeted metabolomics, we presented the changes of 21 amino acids across six anatomical brain regions of mice with DOX-induced chemo brain. By mapping the altered amino acids to the human metabolic network, we constructed an amino acid-based network module for each brain region. We identified phenylalanine, tyrosine, methionine, and γ-aminobutyric acid as putative signatures of three regions (hippocampus, prefrontal cortex, and neocortex) highly associated with cognition. Relying on the reported mouse brain metabolome atlas, we found that DOX might perturb the amino acid homeostasis in multiple brain regions, similar to the changes in the aging brain. Correlation analysis suggested the possible indirect neurotoxicity of DOX that altered the brain levels of phenylalanine, tyrosine, and methionine by causing metabolic disorders in the liver and kidney. In summary, we revealed the region-specific amino acid signatures as actionable targets for DOX-induced chemo brain, which might provide safer treatment and improve the quality of life among cancer survivors.

Abstract
Liver fibrosis is a chronic liver disease with the presence of progressive wound healing response caused by liver injury. Currently, there are no approved therapies for liver fibrosis. Exosomes derived from human adipose mesenchymal stem cells (hADMSCs-Exo) have displayed a prominent therapeutic effect on liver diseases. However, few studies have evaluated therapeutic effect of hADMSCs-Exo in liver fibrosis and cirrhosis, and its precise mechanisms of action remain unclear. Herein, we investigated anti-fibrotic efficacy of hADMSCs-Exo in vitro and in vivo, and identified important metabolic changes and the detailed mechanism through transcriptomic and metabolomic profiling. We found hADMSCs-Exo could inhibit the proliferation of activated hepatic stellate cells through aggravating apoptosis and arresting G1 phase, effectively inhibiting the expression of profibrogenic proteins and epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EMT) in vitro. Moreover, it could significantly block collagen deposition and EMT process, improve liver function and reduce liver inflammation in liver cirrhosis mice model. The omics analysis revealed that the key mechanism of hADMSCs-Exo anti-hepatic fibrosis was the inhibition of PI3K/AKT/mTOR signaling pathway and affecting the changes of metabolites in lipid metabolism, and mainly regulating choline metabolism. CHPT1 activated by hADMSCs-Exo facilitated formation and maintenance of vesicular membranes. Thus, our study indicates that hADMSCs-Exo can attenuate hepatic stellate cell activation and suppress the progression of liver fibrosis, which holds the significant potential of hADMSCs-Exo for use as extracellular nanovesicles-based therapeutics in the treatment of liver fibrosis and possibly other intractable chronic liver diseases.

Metabolomic Signatures in Doxorubicin-Induced Metabolites Characterization, Metabolic Inhibition, and Signaling Pathway Mechanisms in Colon Cancer HCT116 Cells. Metabolites 2022; 12:metabo12111047. [DOI: 10.3390/metabo12111047] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/28/2022] [Revised: 10/19/2022] [Accepted: 10/28/2022] [Indexed: 11/06/2022] Open
Abstract
Doxorubicin (DOX) is a chemotherapeutic agent is used for various cancer cells. To characterize the chemical structural components and metabolic inhibition, we applied a DOX to HCT116 colon cancer cells using an independent metabolites profiling approach. Chemical metabolomics has been involved in the new drug delivery systems. Metabolomics profiling of DOX-applied HCT116 colon cancer cellular metabolisms is rare. We used 1H nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy in this study to clarify how DOX exposure affected HCT116 colon cancer cells. Metabolomics profiling in HCT116 cells detects 50 metabolites. Tracking metabolites can reveal pathway activities. HCT116 colon cancer cells were evenly treated with different concentrations of DOX for 24 h. The endogenous metabolites were identified by comparison with healthy cells. We found that acetate, glucose, glutamate, glutamine, sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine, valine, methionine, and isoleucine were increased. Metabolic expression of alanine, choline, fumarate, taurine, o-phosphocholine, inosine, lysine, and phenylalanine was decreased in HCT116 cancer cells. The metabolic phenotypic expression is markedly altered during a high dose of DOX. It is the first time that there is a metabolite pool and phenotypic expression in colon cancer cells. Targeting the DOX-metabolite axis may be a novel strategy for improving the curative effect of DOX-based therapy for colon cancer cells. These methods facilitate the routine metabolomic analysis of cancer cells.

Abstract
Functional oncogenic links between ErbB2 and ERRα in HER2+ breast cancer patients support a therapeutic benefit of co-targeted therapies. However, ErbB2 and ERRα also play key roles in heart physiology, and this approach could pose a potential liability to cardiovascular health. Herein, using integrated phosphoproteomic, transcriptomic and metabolic profiling, we uncovered molecular mechanisms associated with the adverse remodeling of cardiac functions in mice with combined attenuation of ErbB2 and ERRα activity. Genetic disruption of both effectors results in profound effects on cardiomyocyte architecture, inflammatory response and metabolism, the latter leading to a decrease in fatty acyl-carnitine species further increasing the reliance on glucose as a metabolic fuel, a hallmark of failing hearts. Furthermore, integrated omics signatures of ERRα loss-of-function and doxorubicin treatment exhibit common features of chemotherapeutic cardiotoxicity. These findings thus reveal potential cardiovascular risks in discrete combination therapies in the treatment of breast and other cancers. Murine hearts deficient in ErbB2 and/or ERRα are used to profile the adverse cardiac remodeling associated with potential targeted breast cancer treatments by phosphoproteomic, transcriptomic and metabolomic profiling.

Inflammatory markers S100A8/A9 and metabolic alteration for evaluating signs of early phase toxicity of anticancer agent treatment. Food Chem Toxicol 2022; 169:113421. [PMID: 36100043 DOI: 10.1016/j.fct.2022.113421] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/05/2021] [Revised: 08/04/2022] [Accepted: 09/06/2022] [Indexed: 10/31/2022]
Abstract
Anticancer agents can cause various side effects, including tissue damages/inflammatory reactions. Drug-responsive biomarkers are essential for evaluating drug toxicity in disease processes. S100 calcium-binding proteins A8/A9 (S100A8/A9) are highly expressed in neutrophils and monocytes/macrophages accumulated at inflammatory sites and are known to be related to tissue damage/inflammation; however, their response to drug toxicity has not been reported. Herein, we investigated the effects of anticancer agents (doxorubicin, cisplatin, and docetaxel) on S100A8/A9 gene expression profiles in four representative tissues (heart, kidney, liver, and lung) in normal C57BL/6J mice. Both S100A8/A9 expression was transiently or time-dependently elevated in four tissues within 48 h after dosing of the three anticancer agents under toxicity-inducing conditions. S100A8/A9 patterns differed among agents and tissues. This result suggests that S100A8/A9 is useful for evaluating anticancer agent-induced tissue damage. Metabolomic analysis revealed that some metabolites showed temporal patterns similar to that of S100A8/A9 expression. The amounts of fumarate (doxorubicin-treated heart), tyrosine (cisplatin-treated kidney), acetylcarnosine (doxorubicin-treated liver), and 2-phosphoglycerate (docetaxel-treated lung) showed similar patterns to that of S100A8/A9 expression. Although these metabolites showed different behaviors between tissues and serum, they may be useful marker candidates for evaluating anticancer agent-induced tissue damage at an earlier stage after dosing.

Abstract
Cardiotoxicity has emerged as a major side effect of doxorubicin (DOX) treatment, affecting nearly 30% of patients within 5 years after chemotherapy. Heart failure is the first non-cancer cause of death in DOX-treated patients. Although many different molecular mechanisms explaining the cardiac derangements induced by DOX were identified in past decades, the translation to clinical practice has remained elusive to date. This review examines the current understanding of DOX-induced cardiomyopathy (DCM) with a focus on mitochondria, which were increasingly proven to be crucial determinants of DOX-induced cytotoxicity. We discuss DCM pathophysiology and epidemiology and DOX-induced detrimental effects on mitochondrial function, dynamics, biogenesis, and autophagy. Lastly, we review the current perspectives to contrast the development of DCM, which is still a relatively diffused, invalidating, and life-threatening condition for cancer survivors.

Abstract
Implementing screening assays that identify functional and structural cardiotoxicity earlier in the drug development pipeline has the potential to improve safety and decrease the cost and time required to bring new drugs to market. In this study, a metabolic biomarker-based assay was developed that predicts the cardiotoxicity potential of a drug based on changes in the metabolism and viability of human induced pluripotent stem cell-derived cardiomyocytes (hiPSC-CM). Assay development and testing was conducted in 2 phases: (1) biomarker identification and (2) targeted assay development. In the first phase, metabolomic data from hiPSC-CM spent media following exposure to 66 drugs were used to identify biomarkers that identified both functional and structural cardiotoxicants. Four metabolites that represent different metabolic pathways (arachidonic acid, lactic acid, 2'-deoxycytidine, and thymidine) were identified as indicators of cardiotoxicity. In phase 2, a targeted, exposure-based biomarker assay was developed that measured these metabolites and hiPSC-CM viability across an 8-point concentration curve. Metabolite-specific predictive thresholds for identifying the cardiotoxicity potential of a drug were established and optimized for balanced accuracy or sensitivity. When predictive thresholds were optimized for balanced accuracy, the assay predicted the cardiotoxicity potential of 81 drugs with 86% balanced accuracy, 83% sensitivity, and 90% specificity. Alternatively, optimizing the thresholds for sensitivity yields a balanced accuracy of 85%, 90% sensitivity, and 79% specificity. This new hiPSC-CM-based assay provides a paradigm that can identify structural and functional cardiotoxic drugs that could be used in conjunction with other endpoints to provide a more comprehensive evaluation of a drug's cardiotoxicity potential.

Abstract
Hepatic fibrosis (HF) is a typical consequence of various chronic liver diseases, and there is still no ideal drug for its treatment. Yinchen Wuling Powder (YCWLP), a famous traditional Chinese medicine prescription, is effective for the treatment of icteric hepatitis, hepatic fibrosis, non-alcoholic fatty liver disease and other liver diseases in clinical practices, however, the underlying mechanisms of YCWLP on HF is still unclear. In this study, 1H NMR and MS-based metabolomics analysis along with body weight change, serum liver function indexes, serum liver fibrosis index and histopathological observations of liver were applied to evaluate the therapeutic effect of YCWLP on hepatic fibrosis and the mechanism associated with this. The results of the pharmacodynamics study show that YCWLP has a significant therapeutic effect on hepatic fibrosis. As for the metabolomics research, 7 metabolites in the plasma samples, 28 in the urine samples and 6 in the liver samples were significantly altered due to the protective effect of YCWLP on CCl4-induced hepatic fibrosis. These endogenous metabolites are involved in amino acid metabolism, carbohydrate metabolism, glycerophospholipid metabolism and gut bacteria metabolism. These findings suggest that YCWLP could treat hepatic fibrosis by promoting urea circulation and reducing blood ammonia accumulation, improving carbohydrate metabolism and reducing oxidative stress, improving glycerophospholipid metabolism and protecting cell membrane, and regulating intestinal flora metabolism.

Abstract
Doxorubicin (DOX) is widely used to treat solid tumors, but its use is limited by its severe cardiotoxicity, nephrotoxicity, hepatotoxicity, and neurotoxicity. Metabolomic studies on DOX-induced toxicity are mainly focused on alterations in the heart and kidney, but systematic research on multiple matrices (serum, heart, liver, brain, and kidney) is rare. Thus, in our study, gas chromatography-mass spectrometry analysis of main targeted tissues (serum, heart, liver, brain, and kidney) was used to systemically evaluate the toxicity of DOX. Multivariate analyses, including orthogonal projections to the latent structure and t-test, revealed 21 metabolites in the serum, including cholesterol, d-glucose, d-lactic acid, glycine, l-alanine, l-glutamic acid, l-isoleucine, l-leucine, l-proline, l-serine, l-tryptophan, l-tyrosine, l-valine, MG (0:0/18:0/0:0), MG (16:0/0:0/0:0), N-methylphenylethanolamine, oleamide, palmitic acid, pyroglutamic acid, stearic acid, and urea. In the heart, perturbed metabolites included 3-methyl-1-pentanol, cholesterol, d-glucose, d-lactic acid, glycerol, glycine, l-alanine, l-valine, MG (16:0/0:0/0:0), palmitic acid, phenol, propanoic acid, and stearic acid. For the liver, DOX exposure caused alterations of acetamide, acetic acid, d-glucose, glycerol, l-threonine, palmitic acid, palmitoleic acid, stearic acid, and urea. In the brain, metabolic changes involved 2-butanol, carbamic acid, cholesterol, desmosterol, d-lactic acid, l-valine, MG (16:0/0:0/0:0), palmitic acid, and stearic acid. In the kidney, disturbed metabolites were involved in cholesterol, glycerol, glycine, l-alanine, MG (0:0/18:0/0:0), MG (16:0/0:0/0:0), and squalene. Complementary evidence by multiple matrices revealed disturbed pathways concerning amino acid metabolism, energy metabolism, and lipid metabolism. Our results may help to systematically elucidate the metabolic changes of DOX-induced toxicity and clarify the underlying mechanisms.

Abstract
Schisandrin B has been proved to possess anti-inflammatory and anti-endoplasmic effects, could improve cardiac function, inhibit apoptosis, and reduce inflammation after ischemic injury. However, the detailed metabolic mechanism and potential pathways of Schisandrin B effects on myocardial injury are unclear. Metabolomics could yield in-depth mechanistic insights and explore the potential therapeutic effect of natural products. In this study, the preparation of doxorubicin-induced myocardial injury rat model for evaluation of Schisandrin B on viral myocarditis sequelae related pathological changes and its mechanism. The metabolite profiling of myocardial injury rats was performed through ultra-high performance liquid chromatography combined with mass spectrometry combined with pattern recognition approaches and pathway analysis. A total of 15 metabolites (nine in positive ion mode and six in negative ion mode) were considered as potential biomarkers of myocardial injury, and these metabolites may correlate with the regulation of Schisandrin B treatment. A total of six metabolic pathways are closely related to Schisandrin B treatment, including glycerophospholipid metabolism, sphingolipid metabolism, purine metabolism, etc. This study revealed the potential biomarkers and metabolic network pathways of myocardial injury, and illuminated the protective mechanism of Schisandrin B on myocardial injury.

Abstract
Anthracyclines are commonly used anticancer drugs with well-known and extensively studied cardiotoxic effects in humans. In the clinical setting guidelines for assessing cardiotoxicity are well-established with important therapeutic implications. Cardiotoxicity in terms of impairment of cardiac function is largely diagnosed by echocardiography and based on objective metrics of cardiac function. Until this day, cardiotoxicity is not an endpoint in the current general toxicology and safety pharmacology preclinical studies, although other classes of drugs apart from anthracyclines, along with everyday chemicals have been shown to manifest cardiotoxic properties. Also, in the relevant literature there are not well-established objective criteria or reference values in order to uniformly characterize cardiotoxic adverse effects in animal models. This in depth review focuses on the evaluation of two important echocardiographic indices, namely ejection fraction and fractional shortening, in the literature concerning anthracycline administration to rats as the reference laboratory animal model. The analysis of the gathered data gives promising results and solid prospects for both, defining anthracycline cardiotoxicity objective values and delineating the guidelines for assessing cardiotoxicity as a separate hazard class in animal preclinical studies for regulatory purposes.

Abstract
Anthracycline-based chemotherapy can result in the development of a cumulative and progressively developing cardiomyopathy. Doxorubicin is one of the most highly prescribed anthracyclines in the United States due to its broad spectrum of therapeutic efficacy. Interference with different mitochondrial processes is chief among the molecular and cellular determinants of doxorubicin cardiotoxicity, contributing to the development of cardiomyopathy. The present review provides the basis for the involvement of mitochondrial toxicity in the different functional hallmarks of anthracycline toxicity. Our objective is to understand the molecular determinants of a progressive deterioration of functional integrity of mitochondria that establishes a historic record of past drug treatments (mitochondrial memory) and renders the cancer patient susceptible to subsequent regimens of drug therapy. We focus on the involvement of doxorubicin-induced mitochondrial oxidative stress, disruption of mitochondrial oxidative phosphorylation, and permeability transition, contributing to altered metabolic and redox circuits in cardiac cells, ultimately culminating in disturbances of autophagy/mitophagy fluxes and increased apoptosis. We also suggest some possible pharmacological and nonpharmacological interventions that can reduce mitochondrial damage. Understanding the key role of mitochondria in doxorubicin-induced cardiomyopathy is essential to reduce the barriers that so dramatically limit the clinical success of this essential anticancer chemotherapy.

Abstract
Doxorubicin (DOX) is an anticancer drug widely used in oncology. The main limitation to DOX treatments though is due to the cumulative dose that may lead to cardiotoxicity. Clinically, DOX-induced cardiomyopathy develops as a progressive heart failure consecutive to a progressive loss in cardiomyocytes due to cell necrosis and apoptosis induced by DOX. For many years, the cardiac oxidative stress caused by DOX was considered as its main toxic mechanism. Therefore, several clinical trials were carried out to assess the efficacy of various antioxidants as a cardioprotective strategy. Only dexrazoxane (DEX), did significantly reduce DOX cardiotoxicity. However, since other antioxidants used later on to counteract DOX cardiotoxicity were not as successful as DEX, DOX-induced oxidative stress and DEX antioxidant activity are not considered as the main feature anymore and this led the scientific world to suspect other involved mechanisms which are still unknown. The objective of the present work was to study from a metabolic point of view the side effects of DOX and the protective properties of DEX. In vitro1H-NMR metabonomics was applied to the rat cardiomyoblastic H9C2 cell line. This strategy was used with the hope of unveiling possible new targets to cope with DOX cardiotoxicity. Another underlying goal was the validation of H9C2 in vitro model for metabolic investigations of DOX and DEX effects. For this purpose, several parameters, including oxidative stress, cell mortality, and apoptosis, were measured to assess the effects of DOX and DEX alone or in combination. The metabonomic study was carried out on cellular fluids collected after either 4 or 24 hours of DOX-exposure. Under such experimental conditions, both the major adverse effects reported in patients exposed to DOX and the protective effect of DEX were demonstrated in vitro, suggesting that the H9C2 in vitro model is relevant to investigate both DOX cardiotoxicity and putative cardioprotective strategies. In addition, the metabonomics findings highlighted several metabolic pathways involved in DOX cardiotoxicity and DEX cardioprotective effects as potential metabolic targets for cardioprotection: energy metabolism, redox balance, as well as phospholipids and proteins metabolism.

[PMID: 31636695 PMCID: PMC6794790 DOI: 10.1186/s13020-019-0266-5] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/20/2019] [Accepted: 10/04/2019] [Indexed: 12/13/2022] Open
Abstract
Background Gastric mucosal lesion (GML) is the initiating pathological process in many refractory gastric diseases. And moxibustion is an increasingly popular alternative therapy that prevents and treats diseases. However, there are few published reports about developing pathology of GML and therapeutic mechanism of moxibustion treatment on GML. In this study, we investigated pathology of GML and therapeutic mechanism of moxibustion treatment on GML. Methods The male Sprague-Dawley (SD) rats were induced by intragastric administration of 75% ethanol after fasting for 24 h and treated by moxibustion at Zusanli (ST36) and Liangmen (ST21) for 1 day, 4 days or 7 days. Then we applied 1H NMR-based metabolomics to dynamic analysis of metabolic profiles in biological samples (stomach, cerebral cortex and medulla). And the conventional histopathological examinations as well as metabolic pathways assays were also performed. Results Moxibustion intervention showed a beneficial effect on GML by modulating comprehensive metabolic alterations caused by GML, including energy metabolism, membrane metabolism, cellular active and neurotransmitters function. Conclusions Moxibustion can effectively treat gastric mucosal damage and effectively regulate the concentration of some related differential metabolites to maintain the stability of the metabolic pathway.

Abstract
Disparate occurrence of breast cancer remains an intriguing question since only a subset of women with known risk factors develop cancer. Recent studies suggest an active role of local and distant microbiota in breast cancer initiation, progression, and overall prognosis. A dysbiotic microbiota predisposes the body to develop cancer by inducing genetic instability, initiating DNA damage and proliferation of the damaged progeny, eliciting favorable immune response, metabolic dysregulation and altered response to therapy. In this review, we present our analyses of the existing datasets and discuss the local dysbiosis observed in breast cancer patients and different aspects of breast carcinogenesis that can be potentially influenced by local breast microbiota. Striking differences between microbial community compositions in breast of cancer patients compared to healthy individuals were noted. Differences in microbiome were also apparent between benign and malignant disease and between nipple aspirate fluid of healthy individuals and breast survivors. We also discuss the identification of distinct bacterial, fungal, viral as well as parasite signatures for breast cancer. These microbes are capable of producing numerous secondary metabolites that can act as signaling mediators effecting breast cancer progression. We review how microbes potentially alter response to therapy affecting drug metabolism, pharmacokinetics, anti-tumor effects and toxicity. In conclusion, breast harbors a community of microbes that can communicate with the host cells inducing downstream signaling pathways and modulating various aspects of breast cancer growth and metastatic progression and an improved understanding of microbial dysbiosis can potentially reduce breast cancer risk and improve outcomes of breast cancer patients. The human microbiome, now referred to as, the "forgotten organ" contains a metagenome that is 100-fold more diverse compared to the human genome, thereby, is critically associated with human health [1,2]. With the revelations of the human microbiome project and advent of deep sequencing techniques, a plethora of information has been acquired in recent years. Body sites like stomach, bladder and lungs, once thought to be sterile, are now known to harbor millions of indigenous microbial species. Approximately 80% of the healthy microbiome consists of Firmicutes and Bacteroidetes accompanied by Verrucomicrobia, Actinobacteria, Proteobacteria, Tenericutes and Cyanobacteria [2-7]. The role of microbiome in diabetes, obesity and even neurodegenerative diseases was greatly appreciated in the last decade [1,7-14] and now it has been established that microbiome significantly contributes to many organ specific cancers [1,15,16].

PHYTOMEDICINE : INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF PHYTOTHERAPY AND PHYTOPHARMACOLOGY 2018; 50:205-212. [PMID: 30466980 DOI: 10.1016/j.phymed.2018.04.027] [Citation(s) in RCA: 19] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.2] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/18/2017] [Revised: 02/15/2018] [Accepted: 04/09/2018] [Indexed: 05/21/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND HuangQi (HQ) is a major medicinal herb commonly used as an ingredient of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) formulas. It has been proved to be effective against heart failure (HF). However, its holistic therapeutic mechanism is not yet well explored. PURPOSE The present study was designed to investigate the inhibitory effects and action mechanism of HQ in adriamycin (ADR)-induced HF rats. METHODS An integrative approach combining comprehensive echocardiography index (CEI) and metabonomics was conducted to assess the integral efficacy of HQ against HF. CEI was constructed to comprehensively evaluate the protection of HQ through principal component analysis of eight echocardiography parameters. Meanwhile, NMR-based untargeted metabolomic studies were performed to investigate the regulative effects of HQ coupled with correlation analysis. RESULTS HQ showed significant regulatory effects on four echocardiography parameters (left ventricular diastolic diameter, left ventricular systolic wall thickness, ejection fraction and fractional shortening). The effect on comprehensive CEI also demonstrated the efficacy of HQ against HF, especially on the first principal component (PC1). HQ could exert marked metabolic regulations on five key metabolites related to HF (NAG, 3-hydroxybutyrate, glutamine, succinate and acetoacetate), which were mainly involved into alterations of energy metabolism, oxidative stress, hypertrophy, as well as inflammatory. Their correlation analysis revealed the relationship between the metabolic profiles and cardiac function, which further authenticated the systemic regulation of HQ against HF. CONCLUSION Current evidences revealed that HQ was effective in control of HF from cardiac dysfunction and metabolic alterations. This study provided a useful approach for evaluating the efficacy of TCMs against HF.

Abstract
Renqing Changjue (RQCJ), a precious Traditional Tibetan Medicine (TTM), has been widely used in the management of diseases of the digestive system, toxinosis and pyreticosis. However, in the formula, a significant level of heavy metals, which are potential toxic elements, are present. Therefore, it is important to assess the toxicity of RQCJ dynamically and holistically. In the present study, a 1H NMR metabolomics approach and inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS) were implemented to analyze the samples of liver, kidney and spleen from rats treated with RQCJ. The results revealed that 9 metabolites in the liver, 13 metabolites in the kidney and 16 metabolites in the spleen were significantly altered, which suggest that disturbances in TCA cycle, amino acid metabolism, energy metabolism and oxidative stress are produced by successive administration of RQCJ over 15 days. Complemented by histopathology and biochemical assay, the trends of the metabolite levels indicate that RQCJ caused tissue injury to a certain extent, which was evidenced by the high levels of As and Hg in the tissue. The toxic effects of RQCJ were alleviated in liver and kidney during the recovery period, and RQCJ may cause long-term damage in spleen. These findings provide a significant experimental proof on the estimated safety and valuable information about the metabolism of RQCJ, which will be valuable in determining the health risks of the drug.

Abstract
The aim of this study was to determine the use of the lipid profile of patients with sarcoidosis and compare it with healthy subjects. We assume that lipid profile of serum in sarcoidosis differs from the lipid profile of control subjects. Serum was collected from 14 patients with II stage of sarcoidosis and 14 control subjects (healthy volunteers). Proton NMR spectroscopy combined with discriminant analyses, OPLS-DA (orthogonal partial least squares projections to latent structures discriminant analysis), was used. Thirty four NMR signals of lipid compounds were selected. OPLS-DA model consisted of three components and very good explain the data and also predict the data. Discriminant analysis correctly classified patients according to their groups for 92.9% of sarcoidose and 100% of control. From multivariate discriminant analysis we obtain a list of potentialbiomarkers which are statistically significant and which separate one class from another. These biomarkers are statistically significant, but not necessarily biochemically significant. They may have biochemical significance and they may be the biomarkers we are interested in, however, this must be established through extensive testing. Presented method allows distinguishing between healthy subject and sarcoidosis patients. (Sarcoidosis Vasc Diffuse Lung Dis 2018; 35: 150-153).

Dendrimer-doxorubicin conjugates exhibit improved anticancer activity and reduce doxorubicin-induced cardiotoxicity in a murine hepatocellular carcinoma model. PLoS One 2017; 12:e0181944.

Abstract
Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is the 2nd leading cause of cancer-related deaths every year globally. The most common form of treatment, hepatic arterial infusion (HAI), involves the direct injection of doxorubicin (DOX) into the hepatic artery. It is plagued with limited therapeutic efficacy and the occurrence of severe toxicities (e.g. cardiotoxicity). We aim to improve the therapeutic index of DOX delivered via HAI by loading the drug onto generation 5 (G5) poly(amidoamine) (PAMAM) dendrimers targeted to hepatic cancer cells via N-acetylgalactosamine (NAcGal) ligands. DOX is attached to the surface of G5 molecules via two different enzyme-sensitive linkages, L3 or L4, to achieve controllable drug release inside hepatic cancer cells. We previously reported on P1 and P2 particles that resulted from the combination of NAcGal-targeting with L3- or L4-DOX linkages, respectively, and showed controllable DOX release and toxicity towards hepatic cancer cells comparable to free DOX. In this study, we demonstrate that while the intratumoral delivery of free DOX (1 mg/kg) into HCC-bearing nod scid gamma (NSG) mice achieves a 2.5-fold inhibition of tumor growth compared to the saline group over 30 days, P1 and P2 particles delivered at the same DOX dosage achieve a 5.1- and 4.4-fold inhibition, respectively. Incubation of the particles with human induced pluripotent stem cell derived cardiomyocytes (hiPSC CMs) showed no effect on monolayer viability, apoptosis induction, or CM electrophysiology, contrary to the effect of free DOX. Moreover, magnetic resonance imaging revealed that P1- and P2-treated mice maintained cardiac function after intraperitoneal administration of DOX at 1 mg/kg for 21 days, unlike the free DOX group at an equivalent dosage, confirming that P1/P2 can avoid DOX-induced cardiotoxicity. Taken together, these results highlight the ability of P1/P2 particles to improve the therapeutic index of DOX and offer a replacement therapy for clinical HCC treatment.

Abstract
Acupuncture is a traditional Chinese medicine therapy that has been found useful for treating various diseases. The treatments involve the insertion of fine needles at acupoints along specific meridians (meridian specificity). This study aims to investigate the metabolic basis of meridian specificity using proton nuclear magnetic resonance (1H NMR)-based metabolomics. Electro-acupuncture (EA) stimulations were performed at acupoints of either Stomach Meridian of Foot-Yangming (SMFY) or Gallbladder Meridian of Foot-Shaoyang (GMFS) in healthy male Sprague Dawley (SD) rats. 1H-NMR spectra datasets of serum, urine, cortex, and stomach tissue extracts from the rats were analysed by multivariate statistical analysis to investigate metabolic perturbations due to EA treatments at different meridians. EA treatment on either the SMFY or GMFS acupoints induced significant variations in 31 metabolites, e.g., amino acids, organic acids, choline esters and glucose. Moreover, a few meridian-specific metabolic changes were found for EA stimulations on the SMFY or GMFS acupoints. Our study demonstrated significant metabolic differences in response to EA stimulations on acupoints of SMFY and GMFS meridians. These results validate the hypothesis that meridian specificity in acupuncture is detectable in the metabolome and demonstrate the feasibility and effectiveness of a metabolomics approach in understanding the mechanism of acupuncture.

Abstract
Chemotherapy for bone tumors is a major challenge because of the inability of therapeutics to penetrate dense bone mineral. We hypothesize that a nanostructured formulation with high affinity for bone could deliver drug to the tumor while minimizing off-target toxicity. Here, we evaluated the efficacy and toxicity of a novel bone-targeted, pH-sensitive liposomal formulation containing doxorubicin in an animal model of bone metastasis. Biodistribution studies with the liposome showed good uptake in tumor, but low accumulation of doxorubicin in the heart. Mice treated with the bone-targeted liposome formulation showed a 70% reduction in tumor volume, compared to 35% reduction for free doxorubicin at the same dose. Both cardiac toxicity and overall mortality were significantly lower for animals treated with the bone-targeted liposomes compared to free drug. Bone-targeted, pH-sensitive, doxorubicin containing liposomes represent a promising approach to selectively delivering doxorubicin to bone tumors while minimizing cardiac toxicity.

Abstract
The microbiota is composed of commensal bacteria and other microorganisms that live on the epithelial barriers of the host. The commensal microbiota is important for the health and survival of the organism. Microbiota influences physiological functions from the maintenance of barrier homeostasis locally to the regulation of metabolism, haematopoiesis, inflammation, immunity and other functions systemically. The microbiota is also involved in the initiation, progression and dissemination of cancer both at epithelial barriers and in sterile tissues. Recently, it has become evident that microbiota, and particularly the gut microbiota, modulates the response to cancer therapy and susceptibility to toxic side effects. In this Review, we discuss the evidence for the ability of the microbiota to modulate chemotherapy, radiotherapy and immunotherapy with a focus on the microbial species involved, their mechanism of action and the possibility of targeting the microbiota to improve anticancer efficacy while preventing toxicity.

Abstract
This study describes the development of targeted, doxorubicin (DOX)-loaded generation 5 (G5) polyamidoamine dendrimers able to achieve cell-specific DOX delivery and release into the cytoplasm of hepatic cancer cells. G5 is functionalized with poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) brushes displaying N-acetylgalactosamine (NAcGal) ligands to target hepatic cancer cells. DOX is attached to G5 through one of two aromatic azo-linkages, L3 or L4, achieving either P1 ((NAcGalβ -PEGc)16.6 -G5-(L3-DOX)11.6 ) or P2 ((NAcGalβ -PEGc)16.6 -G5-(L4-DOX)13.4 ) conjugates. After confirming the conjugates' biocompatibility, flow cytometry studies show P1/P2 achieve 100% uptake into hepatic cancer cells at 30-60 × 10-9 m particle concentration. This internalization correlates with cytotoxicity against HepG2 cells with 50% inhibitory concentration (IC50 ) values of 24.8, 1414.0, and 237.8 × 10-9 m for free DOX, P1, and P2, respectively. Differences in cytotoxicity prompted metabolomics analysis to identify the intracellular release behavior of DOX. Results show that P1/P2 release alternative DOX metabolites than free DOX. Stable isotope tracer studies show that the different metabolites induce different effects on metabolic cycles. Namely, free DOX reduces glycolysis and increases fatty acid oxidation, while P1/P2 increase glycolysis, likely as a response to high oxidative stress. Overall, P1/P2 conjugates offer a platform drug delivery technology for improving hepatic cancer therapy.

Abstract
A metabolomic study has been performed to identify sensitive and robust biomarkers of malnutrition in farmed fish, using gilthead sea bream (Sparus aurata) as a model. The metabolomic fingerprinting of serum from fasted fish was assessed by means of ultra-high performance liquid chromatography coupled to quadrupole time-of-flight mass spectrometry. More than 15,000 different m/z ions were detected and Partial Least Squares–Discriminant analysis allowed a clear differentiation between the two experimental groups (fed and 10-day fasted fish) with more than 90% of total variance explained by the two first components. The most significant metabolites (up to 45) were elucidated on the basis of their tandem mass spectra with a broad representation of amino acids, oligopeptides, urea cycle metabolites, L-carnitine-related metabolites, glutathione-related metabolites, fatty acids, lysophosphatidic acids, phosphatidylcholines as well as biotin- and noradrenaline-related metabolites. This untargeted approach highlighted important adaptive responses in energy and oxidative metabolism, contributing to identify robust and nutritionally-regulated biomarkers of health and metabolic condition that will serve to assess the welfare status of farmed fish.

Abstract
Renal interstitial fibrosis is a common pathological process in the progression of kidney disease. A nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) based metabolomic approach was used to analyze the kidney tissues of rats with renal interstitial fibrosis (RIF), induced by unilateral ureteral obstruction (UUO). The combination of a variety of statistical methods were used to screen out 14 significantly changed potential metabolites, which are related with multiple biochemical processes including amino acid metabolism, adenine metabolism, energy metabolism, osmolyte change and induced oxidative stress. The exploration of the contralateral kidneys enhanced the understanding of the disease, which was also supported by serum biochemistry and kidney histopathology results. In addition, the pathological parameters (clinical chemistry, histological and immunohistochemistry results) were correlated with the significantly changed differential metabolites related with RIF. This study showed that targeted tissue metabolomic analysis can be used as a useful tool to understand the mechanism of the disease and provide a novel insight in the pathogenesis of RIF.
