Abstract
Drug-induced gene expression profiles can identify potential mechanisms of toxicity. We focus on obtaining signatures for cardiotoxicity of FDA-approved tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) in human induced-pluripotent-stem-cell-derived cardiomyocytes, using bulk transcriptomic profiles. We use singular value decomposition to identify drug-selective patterns across cell lines obtained from multiple healthy human subjects. Cellular pathways affected by cardiotoxic TKIs include energy metabolism, contractile, and extracellular matrix dynamics. Projecting these pathways to published single cell expression profiles indicates that TKI responses can be evoked in both cardiomyocytes and fibroblasts. Integration of transcriptomic outlier analysis with whole genomic sequencing of our six cell lines enables us to correctly reidentify a genomic variant causally linked to anthracycline-induced cardiotoxicity and predict genomic variants potentially associated with TKI-induced cardiotoxicity. We conclude that mRNA expression profiles when integrated with publicly available genomic, pathway, and single cell transcriptomic datasets, provide multiscale signatures for cardiotoxicity that could be used for drug development and patient stratification.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW This review explores the cardiovascular toxicity associated with cancer therapies, emphasizing the significance of the growing field of cardio-oncology. It aims to elucidate the mechanisms of cardiotoxicity due to radiotherapy, chemotherapy, and targeted therapies, and to discuss the advancements in human induced pluripotent stem cell technology (hiPSC) for predictive disease modeling. RECENT FINDINGS Recent studies have identified several chemotherapeutic agents, including anthracyclines and kinase inhibitors, that significantly increase cardiovascular risks. Advances in hiPSC technology have enabled the differentiation of these cells into cardiovascular lineages, facilitating more accurate modeling of drug-induced cardiotoxicity. Moreover, integrating hiPSCs into clinical trials holds promise for personalized cardiotoxicity assessments, potentially enhancing patient-specific therapeutic strategies. Cardio-oncology bridges oncology and cardiology to mitigate the cardiovascular side-effects of cancer treatments. Despite advancements in predictive models using hiPSCs, challenges persist in accurately replicating adult heart tissue and ensuring reproducibility. Ongoing research is essential for developing personalized therapies that balance effective cancer treatment with minimal cardiovascular harm.

Abstract
In recent years, with advancements in medicine, the survival period of patients with tumours has significantly increased. The adverse effects of tumour treatment on patients, especially cardiac toxicity, have become increasingly prominent. In elderly patients with breast cancer, treatment-related cardiovascular toxicity has surpassed cancer itself as the leading cause of death. Moreover, in recent years, an increasing number of novel antitumour drugs, such as multitargeted agents, antibody‒drug conjugates (ADCs), and immunotherapies, have been applied in clinical practice. The cardiotoxicity induced by these drugs has become more pronounced, leading to a complex and diverse mechanism of cardiac damage. The risks of unintended cardiovascular toxicity are increased by high-dose anthracyclines, immunotherapies, and concurrent radiation, in addition to traditional cardiovascular risk factors such as smoking, hypertension, diabetes, hyperlipidaemia, and obesity. However, these factors do not fully explain why only a subset of individuals experience treatment-related cardiac toxicity, whereas others with similar clinical features do not. Recent studies indicate that genetics play a significant role in susceptibility to the development of cardiovascular toxicity from cancer therapies. These genes are involved in drug metabolism, oxidative damage, cardiac dysfunction, and other processes. Moreover, emerging evidence suggests that epigenetics also plays a role in drug-induced cardiovascular toxicity. We conducted a review focusing on breast cancer as an example to help oncologists and cardiologists better understand the mechanisms and effects of genetic factors on cardiac toxicity. In this review, we specifically address the relationship between genetic alterations and cardiac toxicity, including chemotherapy-related genetic changes, targeted therapy-related genetic changes, and immune therapy-related genetic changes. We also discuss the role of epigenetic factors in cardiac toxicity. We hope that this review will improve the risk stratification of patients and enable therapeutic interventions that mitigate these unintended adverse consequences of life-saving cancer treatments.

Risk of anthracycline-induced cardiac dysfunction in adolescent and young adult (AYA) cancer survivors: role of genetic susceptibility loci. THE PHARMACOGENOMICS JOURNAL 2024; 24:21. [PMID: 38951505 DOI: 10.1038/s41397-024-00343-0] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/26/2023] [Revised: 06/05/2024] [Accepted: 06/20/2024] [Indexed: 07/03/2024]
Abstract
There is a known genetic susceptibility to anthracycline-induced cardiac dysfunction in childhood cancer survivors, but this has not been adequately shown in adolescent and young adult (AYA) patients. Our aim was to determine if the previously identified variants associated with cardiac dysfunction in childhood cancer patients affect AYA cancer patients similarly. Forty-five variants were selected for analysis in 253 AYAs previously treated with anthracyclines. We identified four variants that were associated with cardiac dysfunction: SLC10A2:rs7319981 (p = 0.017), SLC22A17:rs4982753 (p = 0.019), HAS3:rs2232228 (p = 0.023), and RARG:rs2229774 (p = 0.050). HAS3:rs2232228 and SLC10A2:rs7319981 displayed significant effects in our AYA cancer survivor population that were in the opposite direction than that reported in childhood cancer survivors. Genetic variants in the host genes were further analyzed for additional associations with cardiotoxicity in AYA cancer survivors. The host genes were then evaluated in a panel of induced pluripotent stem cell-derived cardiomyocytes to assess changes in levels of expression when treated with doxorubicin. Significant upregulation of HAS3 and SLC22A17 expression was observed (p < 0.05), with non-significant anthracycline-responsivity observed for RARG. Our study demonstrates that there is a genetic influence on cardiac dysfunction in AYA cancer patients, but there may be a difference in the role of genetics between childhood and AYA cancer survivors.

Abstract
Many oncology drugs have been found to induce cardiotoxicity in a subset of patients, which significantly limits their clinical use and impedes the benefit of lifesaving anticancer treatments. Human induced pluripotent stem cell-derived cardiomyocytes (iPSC-CMs) carry donor-specific genetic information and have been proposed for exploring the interindividual difference in oncology drug-induced cardiotoxicity. Herein, we evaluated the inter- and intraindividual variability of iPSC-CM-related assays and presented a proof of concept to prospectively predict doxorubicin (DOX)-induced cardiotoxicity (DIC) using donor-specific iPSC-CMs. Our findings demonstrated that donor-specific iPSC-CMs exhibited greater line-to-line variability than the intraindividual variability in impedance cytotoxicity and transcriptome assays. The variable and dose-dependent cytotoxic responses of iPSC-CMs resembled those observed in clinical practice and largely replicated the reported mechanisms. By categorizing iPSC-CMs into resistant and sensitive cell lines based on their time- and concentration-related phenotypic responses to DOX, we found that the sensitivity of donor-specific iPSC-CMs to DOX may predict in vivo DIC risk. Furthermore, we identified a differentially expressed gene, DND microRNA-mediated repression inhibitor 1 (DND1), between the DOX-resistant and DOX-sensitive iPSC-CMs. Our results support the utilization of donor-specific iPSC-CMs in assessing interindividual differences in DIC. Further studies will encompass a large panel of donor-specific iPSC-CMs to identify potential novel molecular and genetic biomarkers for predicting DOX and other oncology drug-induced cardiotoxicity.

Abstract
Rare diseases have become an increasingly important public health priority due to their collective prevalence and often life-threatening nature. Incentive programs, such as the Orphan Drug Act have been introduced to increase the development of rare disease therapeutics. While the approval of these therapeutics requires supportive data from stringent pre-market studies, these data lack the ability to describe the causes of treatment response heterogeneity, leading to medications often being more harmful or less effective than predicted. If a Goal Line were to be used to describe the multifactorial continuum of phenotypic variations occurring in response to a medication, the 'Goal Posts', or the two defining points of this continuum, would be (1) Super-Response, or an extraordinary therapeutic effect; and (2) Serious Harm. Investigation of the pharmacogenomics behind these two extreme phenotypes can potentially lead to the development of new therapeutics, help inform rational use criteria in drug policy, and improve the understanding of underlying disease pathophysiology. In the context of rare diseases where cohort sizes are smaller than ideal, 'small data' and 'big data' approaches to data collection and analysis should be combined to produce the most robust results. This paper presents the importance of studying drug response in parallel to other research initiatives in rare diseases, as well as the need for international collaboration in the area of rare disease pharmacogenomics.

Abstract
Addressing the need for more equitable cardio-oncology care requires attention to existing disparities in cardio-oncologic disease prevention and outcomes. This is particularly important among those affected by adverse social determinants of health (SDOH). The intricate relationship of SDOH, cancer diagnosis, and outcomes from cardiotoxicities associated with oncologic therapies is influenced by sociopolitical, economic, and cultural factors. Furthermore, mechanisms in cell signaling and epigenetic effects on gene expression link adverse SDOH to cancer and the CVD-related complications of oncologic therapies. To mitigate these disparities, a multifaceted strategy is needed that includes attention to health care access, policy, and community engagement for improved disease screening and management. Interdisciplinary teams must also promote cultural humility and competency and leverage new health technology to foster collaboration in addressing the impact of adverse SDOH in cardio-oncologic outcomes.

Abstract
OPINION STATEMENT Cardio-oncology is an emerging interdisciplinary field dedicated to the early detection and treatment of adverse cardiovascular events associated with anticancer treatment, and current clinical management of anticancer-treatment-related cardiovascular toxicity (CTR-CVT) remains limited by a lack of detailed phenotypic data. However, the promise of diagnosing CTR-CVT using deep phenotyping has emerged with the development of precision medicine, particularly the use of omics-based methodologies to discover sensitive biomarkers of the disease. In the future, combining information produced by a variety of omics methodologies could expand the clinical practice of cardio-oncology. In this review, we demonstrate how omics approaches can improve our comprehension of CTR-CVT deep phenotyping, discuss the positive and negative aspects of available omics approaches for CTR-CVT diagnosis, and outline how to integrate multiple sets of omics data into individualized monitoring and treatment. This will offer a reliable technical route for lowering cardiovascular morbidity and mortality in cancer patients and survivors.

Abstract
Human pluripotent stem (hPS) cells can, in theory, be differentiated into any cell type, making them a powerful in vitro model for human biology. Recent technological advances have facilitated large-scale hPS cell studies that allow investigation of the genetic regulation of molecular phenotypes and their contribution to high-order phenotypes such as human disease. Integrating hPS cells with single-cell sequencing makes identifying context-dependent genetic effects during cell development or upon experimental manipulation possible. Here we discuss how the intersection of stem cell biology, population genetics and cellular genomics can help resolve the functional consequences of human genetic variation. We examine the critical challenges of integrating these fields and approaches to scaling them cost-effectively and practically. We highlight two areas of human biology that can particularly benefit from population-scale hPS cell studies, elucidating mechanisms underlying complex disease risk loci and evaluating relationships between common genetic variation and pharmacotherapeutic phenotypes.

Abstract
Doxorubicin (Dox) is among the most widely used cancer chemotherapeutic drugs. The clinical use of Dox is, however, limited due to its cardiotoxicity. Studies over the past several decades have suggested various mechanisms of Dox-induced cardiotoxicity (DIC). Among them are oxidative stress, topoisomerase inhibition, and mitochondrial damage. Several novel molecular targets and signaling pathways underlying DIC have emerged over the past few years. The most notable advances include discovery of ferroptosis as a major form of cell death in Dox cytotoxicity, and elucidation of the involvement of cardiogenetics and regulatory RNAs as well as multiple other targets in DIC. In this review, we discuss these advances, focusing on latest cutting-edge research discoveries from mechanistic studies reported in influential journals rather than surveying all research studies available in the literature.

Abstract
Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) are the leading cause of death and include several vascular and cardiac disorders, such as atherosclerosis, coronary artery disease, cardiomyopathies, and heart failure. Multiple treatment strategies exist for CVDs, but there is a need for regenerative treatment of damaged heart. Stem cells are a broad variety of cells with a great differentiation potential that have regenerative and immunomodulatory properties. Multiple studies have evaluated the efficacy of stem cells in CVDs, such as mesenchymal stem cells and induced pluripotent stem cell-derived cardiomyocytes. These studies have demonstrated that stem cells can improve the left ventricle ejection fraction, reduce fibrosis, and decrease infarct size. Other studies have investigated potential methods to improve the survival, engraftment, and functionality of stem cells in the treatment of CVDs. The aim of the present review is to summarize the current evidence on the role of stem cells in the treatment of CVDs, and how to improve their efficacy.

Abstract
Nilotinib is a highly effective treatment for chronic myeloid leukemia but has been consistently associated with the development of nilotinib-induced arterial disease (NAD) in a subset of patients. To date, which cell types mediate this effect and whether NAD results from on-target mechanisms is unknown. We utilized human induced pluripotent stem cells (hiPSCs) to generate endothelial cells and vascular smooth muscle cells for in vitro study of NAD. We found that nilotinib adversely affects endothelial proliferation and migration, in addition to increasing intracellular nitric oxide. Nilotinib did not alter endothelial barrier function or lipid uptake. No effect of nilotinib was observed in vascular smooth muscle cells, suggesting that NAD is primarily mediated through endothelial cells. To evaluate whether NAD results from enhanced inhibition of ABL1, we generated multiple ABL1 knockout lines. The effects of nilotinib remained unchanged in the absence of ABL1, suggesting that NAD results from off- rather than on-target signaling. The model established in the present study can be applied to future mechanistic and patient-specific pharmacogenomic studies.

Abstract
Human induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC) platforms are valuable for biomedical and pharmaceutical research by providing tissue-specific human cells that retain patients' genetic integrity and display disease phenotypes in a dish. Looking forward, combining iPSC phenotyping platforms with genomic and screening technologies will continue to pave new directions for precision medicine, including genetic prediction, visualization, and treatment of heart disease. This review summarizes the recent use of iPSC technology to unpack the influence of genetic variants in cardiovascular pathology. We focus on various state-of-the-art genomic tools for cardiovascular therapies-including the expansion of genetic toolkits for molecular interrogation, in vitro population studies, and function-based drug screening-and their current applications in patient- and genome-edited iPSC platforms that are heralding new avenues for cardiovascular research.

Abstract
Background Genome-wide association studies and candidate gene association studies have identified more than 180 genetic variants statistically associated with anthracycline-induced cardiotoxicity (AIC). However, the lack of functional validation has hindered the clinical translation of these findings. Objectives The aim of this study was to functionally validate all genes associated with AIC using human induced pluripotent stem cell-derived cardiomyocytes (hiPSC-CMs). Methods Through a systemic literature search, 80 genes containing variants significantly associated with AIC were identified. Additionally, 3 more genes with potential roles in AIC (GSTM1, CBR1, and ERBB2) were included. Of these, 38 genes exhibited expression in human fetal heart, adult heart, and hiPSC-CMs. Using clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats/Cas9-based genome editing, each of these 38 genes was systematically knocked out in control hiPSC-CMs, and the resulting doxorubicin-induced cardiotoxicity (DIC) phenotype was assessed using hiPSC-CMs. Subsequently, functional assays were conducted for each gene knockout on the basis of hypothesized mechanistic implications in DIC. Results Knockout of 26 genes increased the susceptibility of hiPSC-CMs to DIC. Notable genes included efflux transporters (ABCC10, ABCC2, ABCB4, ABCC5, and ABCC9), well-established DIC-associated genes (CBR1, CBR3, and RAC2), and genome-wide association study-discovered genes (RARG and CELF4). Conversely, knockout of ATP2B1, HNMT, POR, CYBA, WDR4, and COL1A2 had no significant effect on the in vitro DIC phenotype of hiPSC-CMs. Furthermore, knockout of the uptake transporters (SLC28A3, SLC22A17, and SLC28A1) demonstrated a protective effect against DIC. Conclusions The present findings establish a comprehensive platform for the functional validation of DIC-associated genes, providing insights for future studies in DIC variant associations and potential mechanistic targets for the development of cardioprotective drugs.

Abstract
Anthracycline-induced cardiotoxicity (AIC) is a serious and common side effect of anthracycline therapy. Identification of genes and genetic variants associated with AIC risk has clinical potential as a cardiotoxicity predictive tool and to allow the development of personalized therapies. In this review, we provide an overview of the function of known AIC genes identified by association studies and categorize them based on their mechanistic implication in AIC. We also discuss the importance of functional validation of AIC-associated variants in human induced pluripotent stem cell-derived cardiomyocytes (hiPSC-CMs) to advance the implementation of genetic predictive biomarkers. Finally, we review how patient-specific hiPSC-CMs can be used to identify novel patient-relevant functional targets and for the discovery of cardioprotectant drugs to prevent AIC. Implementation of functional validation and use of hiPSC-CMs for drug discovery will identify the next generation of highly effective and personalized cardioprotectants and accelerate the inclusion of approved AIC biomarkers into clinical practice.

Abstract
Most commonly diagnosed cancer pathologies in the pediatric population comprise leukemias and cancers of the nervous system. The percentage of cancer survivors increased from approximatively 50% to 80% thanks to improvements in medical treatments and the introduction of new chemotherapies. However, as a consequence, heart disease has become the main cause of death in the children due to the cardiotoxicity induced by chemotherapy treatments. The use of different cardiovascular biomarkers, complementing data obtained from electrocardiogram, echocardiography cardiac imaging, and evaluation of clinical symptoms, is considered a routine in clinical diagnosis, prognosis, risk stratification, and differential diagnosis. Cardiac troponin and natriuretic peptides are the best-validated biomarkers broadly accepted in clinical practice for the diagnosis of acute coronary syndrome and heart failure, although many other biomarkers are used and several potential markers are currently under study and possibly will play a more prominent role in the future. Several studies have shown how the measurement of cardiac troponin (cTn) can be used for the early detection of heart damage in oncological patients treated with potentially cardiotoxic chemotherapeutic drugs. The advent of high sensitive methods (hs-cTnI or hs-cTnT) further improved the effectiveness of risk stratification and monitoring during treatment cycles.

Abstract
The number of childhood cancer survivors is increasing rapidly. According to American Association for Cancer Research, there are more than 750,000 childhood cancer survivors in the United States and Europe. As the number of childhood cancer survivors increases, so does cancer treatment-related cardiac dysfunction (CTRCD), leading to heart failure (HF). It has been reported that childhood cancer survivors who received anthracyclines are 15 times more likely to have late cancer treatment-related HF and have a 5-fold higher risk of death from cardiovascular (CV) disease than the general population. CV disease is the leading cause of death in childhood cancer survivors. The increasing need to manage cancer survivor patients has led to the rapid creation and adaptation of cardio-oncology. Cardio-oncology is a multidisciplinary science that monitors, treats, and prevents CTRCD. Many guidelines and position statements have been published to help diagnose and manage CTRCD, including those from the American Society of Clinical Oncology, the European Society of Cardiology, the Canadian Cardiovascular Society, the European Society of Medical Oncology, the International Late Effects of Childhood Cancer Guideline Harmonization Group, and many others. However, there remains a gap in identifying high-risk patients likely to develop cardiomyopathy and HF in later life, thus reducing primary and secondary measures being instituted, and when to start treatment when there is echocardiographic evidence of left ventricular (LV) dysfunctions without symptoms of HF. There are no randomized controlled clinical trials for treatment for CTRCD leading to HF in childhood cancer survivors. The treatment of HF due to cancer treatment is similar to the guidelines for general HF. This review describes the latest pharmacologic therapy for preventing and treating LV dysfunction and HF in childhood cancer survivors based on expert consensus guidelines and extrapolating data from adult HF trials.

Abstract
The study of mechanisms underlying cardiotoxicity of doxorubicin and the development of strategies to mitigate doxorubicin-induced cardiotoxicity are the most relevant issues of modern cardio-oncology. This is due to the high prevalence of cancer in the population and the need for frequent use of highly effective chemotherapeutic agents, in particular anthracyclines, for optimal management of cancer patients. However, while being a potent agent to counteract cancer, doxorubicin also affects the cardiovascular systems of patients undergoing chemotherapy in a significant and unfavorable fashion. Consecutively reviewed in this article are risk factors and mechanisms of doxorubicin cardiotoxicity, and the essential strategies to mitigate cardiotoxic effects of doxorubicin treatment in cancer patients are discussed.

Protein-encapsulated doxorubicin reduces cardiotoxicity in hiPSC-cardiomyocytes and cardiac spheroids while maintaining anticancer efficacy. Stem Cell Reports 2023; 18:1913-1924. [PMID: 37657447 PMCID: PMC10656302 DOI: 10.1016/j.stemcr.2023.08.005] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/28/2022] [Revised: 08/06/2023] [Accepted: 08/07/2023] [Indexed: 09/03/2023] Open
Abstract
The chemotherapeutic doxorubicin (DOX) detrimentally impacts the heart during cancer treatment. This necessitates development of non-cardiotoxic delivery systems that retain DOX anticancer efficacy. We used human induced pluripotent stem cell-derived cardiomyocytes (hiPSC-CMs), endothelial cells (hiPSC-ECs), cardiac fibroblasts (hiPSC-CFs), multi-lineage cardiac spheroids (hiPSC-CSs), patient-specific hiPSCs, and multiple human cancer cell lines to compare the anticancer efficacy and reduced cardiotoxicity of single protein encapsulated DOX (SPEDOX-6), to standard unformulated (UF) DOX. Cell viability assays and immunostaining in human cancer cells, hiPSC-ECs, and hiPSC-CFs revealed robust uptake of SPEDOX-6 and efficacy in killing these proliferative cell types. In contrast, hiPSC-CMs and hiPSC-CSs exhibited substantially lower cytotoxicity during SPEDOX-6 treatment compared with UF DOX. SPEDOX-6-treated hiPSC-CMs and hiPSC-CSs maintained their functionality, as indicated by sarcomere contractility assessment, calcium imaging, multielectrode arrays, and RNA sequencing. This study demonstrates the potential of SPEDOX-6 to alleviate cardiotoxic side effects associated with UF DOX, while maintaining its anticancer potency.

Altered Peripheral Blood Gene Expression in Childhood Cancer Survivors With Anthracycline-Induced Cardiomyopathy - A COG-ALTE03N1 Report. J Am Heart Assoc 2023; 12:e029954. [PMID: 37750583 PMCID: PMC10727235 DOI: 10.1161/jaha.123.029954] [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: 02/22/2023] [Accepted: 08/08/2023] [Indexed: 09/27/2023]
Abstract
Background Anthracycline-induced cardiomyopathy is a leading cause of premature death in childhood cancer survivors, presenting a need to understand the underlying pathogenesis. We sought to examine differential blood-based mRNA expression profiles in anthracycline-exposed childhood cancer survivors with and without cardiomyopathy. Methods and Results We designed a matched case-control study (Children's Oncology Group-ALTE03N1) with mRNA sequencing on total RNA from peripheral blood in 40 anthracycline-exposed survivors with cardiomyopathy (cases) and 64 matched survivors without (controls). DESeq2 identified differentially expressed genes. Ingenuity Pathway Analyses (IPA) and Gene Set Enrichment Analyses determined the potential roles of altered genes in biological pathways. Functional validation was performed by gene knockout in human-induced pluripotent stem cell-derived cardiomyocytes using CRISPR/Cas9 (clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats/CRISPR-associated protein 9) technology. Median age at primary cancer diagnosis for cases and controls was 8.2 and 9.7 years, respectively. Thirty-six differentially expressed genes with fold change ≥±2 were identified; 35 were upregulated. IPA identified "hepatic fibrosis" and "iron homeostasis" pathways to be significantly modulated by differentially expressed genes, including toxicology functions of myocardial infarction, cardiac damage, and cardiac dilation. Leading edge analysis from Gene Set Enrichment Analyses identified lactate dehydrogenase A (LDHA) and cluster of differentiation 36 (CD36) genes to be significantly upregulated in cases. Interleukin 1 receptor type 1, 2 (IL1R1, IL1R2), and matrix metalloproteinase 8, 9 (MMP8, MMP9) appeared in multiple canonical pathways. LDHA-knockout human-induced pluripotent stem cell-derived cardiomyocytes showed increased sensitivity to doxorubicin. Conclusions We identified differential mRNA expression profiles in peripheral blood of anthracycline-exposed childhood cancer survivors with and without cardiomyopathy. Upregulation of LDHA and CD36 genes suggests metabolic perturbations in a failing heart. Dysregulation of proinflammatory cytokine receptors IL1R1 and IL1R2 and matrix metalloproteinases, MMP8 and MMP9 indicates structural remodeling that accompanies the clinical manifestation of symptomatic cardiotoxicity.

Abstract
Anthracycline-induced cardiomyopathy is a leading cause of late morbidity in childhood cancer survivors. Aberrant DNA methylation plays a role in de novo cardiovascular disease. Epigenetic processes could play a role in anthracycline-induced cardiomyopathy but remain unstudied. We sought to examine if genome-wide differential methylation at 'CpG' sites in peripheral blood DNA is associated with anthracycline-induced cardiomyopathy. This report used participants from a matched case-control study; 52 non-Hispanic White, anthracycline-exposed childhood cancer survivors with cardiomyopathy were matched 1:1 with 52 survivors with no cardiomyopathy. Paired ChAMP (Chip Analysis Methylation Pipeline) with integrated reference-based deconvolution of adult peripheral blood DNA methylation was used to analyze data from Illumina HumanMethylation EPIC BeadChip arrays. An epigenome-wide association study (EWAS) was performed, and the model was adjusted for GrimAge, sex, interaction terms of age at enrollment, chest radiation, age at diagnosis squared, and cardiovascular risk factors (CVRFs: diabetes, hypertension, dyslipidemia). Prioritized genes were functionally validated by gene knockout in human induced pluripotent stem cell cardiomyocytes (hiPSC-CMs) using CRISPR/Cas9 technology. DNA-methylation EPIC array analyses identified 32 differentially methylated probes (DMP: 15 hyper-methylated and 17 hypo-methylated probes) that overlap with 23 genes and 9 intergenic regions. Three hundred and fifty-four differential methylated regions (DMRs) were also identified. Several of these genes are associated with cardiac dysfunction. Knockout of genes EXO6CB, FCHSD2, NIPAL2, and SYNPO2 in hiPSC-CMs increased sensitivity to doxorubicin. In addition, EWAS analysis identified hypo-methylation of probe 'cg15939386' in gene RORA to be significantly associated with anthracycline-induced cardiomyopathy. In this genome-wide DNA methylation profile study, we observed significant differences in DNA methylation at the CpG level between anthracycline-exposed childhood cancer survivors with and without cardiomyopathy, implicating differential DNA methylation of certain genes could play a role in pathogenesis of anthracycline-induced cardiomyopathy.

Abstract
Background Anthracycline chemotherapies cause heart failure in a subset of cancer patients. We previously reported that the anthracycline doxorubicin (DOX) induces cardiotoxicity through the activation of cyclin-dependent kinase 2 (CDK2). Objectives The aim of this study was to determine whether retinoblastoma-like 2 (RBL2/p130), an emerging CDK2 inhibitor, regulates anthracycline sensitivity in the heart. Methods Rbl2-/- mice and Rbl2+/+ littermates received DOX (5 mg/kg/wk for 4 weeks intraperitoneally, 20 mg/kg cumulative). Heart function was monitored with echocardiography. The association of RBL2 genetic variants with anthracycline cardiomyopathy was evaluated in the SJLIFE (St. Jude Lifetime Cohort Study) and CPNDS (Canadian Pharmacogenomics Network for Drug Safety) studies. Results The loss of endogenous Rbl2 increased basal CDK2 activity in the mouse heart. Mice lacking Rbl2 were more sensitive to DOX-induced cardiotoxicity, as evidenced by rapid deterioration of heart function and loss of heart mass. The disruption of Rbl2 exacerbated DOX-induced mitochondrial damage and cardiomyocyte apoptosis. Mechanistically, Rbl2 deficiency enhanced CDK2-dependent activation of forkhead box O1 (FOXO1), leading to up-regulation of the proapoptotic protein Bim. The inhibition of CDK2 desensitized Rbl2-depleted cardiomyocytes to DOX. In wild-type cardiomyocytes, DOX exposure induced Rbl2 expression in a FOXO1-dependent manner. Importantly, the rs17800727 G allele of the human RBL2 gene was associated with reduced anthracycline cardiotoxicity in childhood cancer survivors. Conclusions Rbl2 is an endogenous CDK2 inhibitor in the heart and represses FOXO1-mediated proapoptotic gene expression. The loss of Rbl2 increases sensitivity to DOX-induced cardiotoxicity. Our findings suggest that RBL2 could be used as a biomarker to predict the risk of cardiotoxicity before the initiation of anthracycline-based chemotherapy.

Abstract
The survival rate for pediatric cancers has remarkably improved in recent years. Conventional chemotherapy plays a crucial role in treating pediatric cancers, especially in low- and middle-income countries where access to advanced treatments may be limited. The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved chemotherapy drugs that can be used in children have expanded, but patients still face numerous side effects from the treatment. In addition, multidrug resistance (MDR) continues to pose a major challenge in improving the survival rates for a significant number of patients. This review focuses on the severe side effects of pediatric chemotherapy, including doxorubicin-induced cardiotoxicity (DIC) and vincristine-induced peripheral neuropathy (VIPN). We also delve into the mechanisms of MDR in chemotherapy to the improve survival and reduce the toxicity of treatment. Additionally, the review focuses on various drug transporters found in common types of pediatric tumors, which could offer different therapeutic options.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Drug-induced cardiotoxicity (DICT) is one of the most serious adverse drug reactions, which is an important safety issue in drug development and clinical practice. This study aimed to summarize the knowledge structure and to detect emerging trends, and provide ideas for future research on DICT in children using bibliometric methods. MATERIAL AND METHODS All publications on DICT in children were retrieved through the Web of Science Core Collection up to April 20, 2022. The document type was restricted to articles with the language set to English. CiteSpace and VOSviewer were used to conduct this bibliometric analysis. RESULTS A total of 298 articles were included, and the annual publications decreased since 2021. The United States was the leading country with the most publications (117), the highest centrality (0.39), and total citations (4055). The most influential institution was the University of British Columbia, while Carleton BC and Rassekh SR, both from Canada, were the most productive authors, but there was no leader in this field. The keywords with both high frequency and high centrality after excluding "cardiotoxicity" and "children" were acute lymphoblastic leukemia (Freq=43, Central=0.15), childhood cancer (Freq=42, Central=0.13), toxicity (Freq=33, Central=0.16), and breast cancer (Freq=29, Central=0.19). "Adriamycin cardiotoxicity" was the first burst keyword, while "childhood cancer", "oxidative stress", and "cardiac dysfunction" were emerging research hotspots. CONCLUSIONS Attention to DICT in children was insufficient. This study serves as a breakthrough point, providing a comprehensive overview of the knowledge structure, development landscape, and future opportunities in this field.

Abstract
The treatment of malignant tumors is usually accompanied by poor prognosis due to metastasis of tumor cells. Hence, it is crucial to enhance anti-metastasis efficacy when anti-tumor treatments are conducted. It has been reported that the vascular cell adhesion molecule-1 (VCAM-1) is highly expressed on the surface of tumor cells and plays an essential role in the metastasis of tumor cells. Thus, reducing VCAM-1 expression offers hope for inhibiting the metastasis of tumor cells. Evidence has shown that succinobucol (Suc) can selectively and efficiently inhibit VCAM-1 expression. Inspired by these, we designed dual drug-loaded PLGA nanoparticles (Co-NPs) to co-deliver VCAM-1 inhibitor Suc and the chemotherapeutic doxorubicin (Dox) which could both effectively suppress primary melanoma and its lung metastases. Co-NPs were composed of PLGA encapsulated Suc and Dox as hydrophobic cores and DSPE-mPEG2000 as surface modification materials. With an appropriate particle size (122.4 nm) and a negatively charged surface (-6.77 mV) we could achieve prolonged blood circulation. The in vitro experiments showed that Co-NPs had potent cytotoxicity against B16F10 cells and could significantly inhibit VCAM-1 expression and migration of B16F10 cells. Additionally, the in vivo experiments showed that Co-NPs could efficiently suppress not only primary melanoma but also its lung metastases. In conclusion, PLGA nanoparticles containing VCAM-1 inhibitor Suc and chemotherapeutic Dox as therapy against primary tumors and their lung metastases provides a promising drug delivery strategy for the treatment of metastatic malignant tumors.

Development of a Dose-Adjusted Polygenic Risk Model for Anthracycline-Induced Cardiotoxicity. Ther Drug Monit 2023; 45:337-344. [PMID: 36728273 DOI: 10.1097/ftd.0000000000001077] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/23/2022] [Accepted: 12/02/2022] [Indexed: 02/03/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Anthracyclines, which are effective chemotherapeutic agents, cause cardiac dysfunction in up to 57% of patients. The cumulative anthracycline dose is a crucial predictor of cardiotoxicity; however, the cumulative dose alone cannot explain all cardiotoxic events. Strongly associated genetic variants in SLC28A3, UGT1A6, and RARG contribute to anthracycline-induced cardiotoxicity in pediatric patients and may help identify those most susceptible. This study aimed to examine how these pharmacogenetic effects are modulated by cumulative anthracycline doses in the development of cardiotoxicity. METHODS A total of 595 anthracycline-treated children were genotyped and cardiotoxicity cases were identified. A dose-stratified analysis was performed to compare the contributions of SLC28A3 rs7853758, UGT1A6 rs17863783, and RARG rs2229774 variants to the development of cardiotoxicity in low-dose (<150 mg/m2 cumulative dose) and high-dose (>250 mg/m2 cumulative dose) patient groups. Logistic regression was used to model the relationships between the cumulative anthracycline dose, genetic variants, and cardiotoxicity in the full cohort. RESULTS At < 150 mg/m2 cumulative anthracycline dose, the SLC28A3 protective variant did not reach statistical significance [odds ratio (OR) 0.46 (95% confidence interval (CI) 0.10-1.45), P = 0.23], but it was statistically significant at doses >250 mg/m2 [OR 0.43 (95% CI 0.22-0.78), P = 0.0093]. Conversely, the UGT1A6 and RARG risk variants were either statistically significant or approaching significance at doses <150 mg/m2 [OR 7.18 (95% CI 1.78-28.4), P = 0.0045 for UGT1A6 and OR 2.76 (95% CI 0.89-7.63), P = 0.057 for RARG], but not at doses >250 mg/m2 [OR 2.91 (95% CI 0.80-11.0), P = 0.10; OR 1.56 (95% CI 0.89-2.75), P = 0.12]. CONCLUSIONS These findings suggest that the SLC28A3 variant imparts more significant protection for patients receiving higher anthracycline doses, whereas the UGT1A6 and RARG risk variants significantly increased the risk of cardiotoxicity at low anthracycline doses.

Abstract
Cardiac cell surface proteins are drug targets and useful biomarkers for discriminating among cellular phenotypes and disease states. Here we developed an analytical platform, CellSurfer, that enables quantitative cell surface proteome (surfaceome) profiling of cells present in limited quantities, and we apply it to isolated primary human heart cells. We report experimental evidence of surface localization and extracellular domains for 1,144 N-glycoproteins, including cell-type-restricted and region-restricted glycoproteins. We identified a surface protein specific for healthy cardiomyocytes, LSMEM2, and validated an anti-LSMEM2 monoclonal antibody for flow cytometry and imaging. Surfaceome comparisons among pluripotent stem cell derivatives and their primary counterparts highlighted important differences with direct implications for drug screening and disease modeling. Finally, 20% of cell surface proteins, including LSMEM2, were differentially abundant between failing and non-failing cardiomyocytes. These results represent a rich resource to advance development of cell type and organ-specific targets for drug delivery, disease modeling, immunophenotyping and in vivo imaging.

Pharmacogenetics of Drug Metabolism: The Role of Gene Polymorphism in the Regulation of Doxorubicin Safety and Efficacy. Cancers (Basel) 2022; 14:cancers14215436. [PMID: 36358854 PMCID: PMC9659104 DOI: 10.3390/cancers14215436] [Citation(s) in RCA: 9] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/09/2022] [Revised: 10/27/2022] [Accepted: 11/02/2022] [Indexed: 11/06/2022] Open
Abstract
Simple Summary The effectiveness and safety of the anti-cancer agent doxorubicin (anthracycline group medicine) depend on the metabolism and retention of the drug in the human organism. Polymorphism of cytochrome p450 (CYP)-encoding genes and detoxifying enzymes such as CYP3A4 and CYP2D6 were found responsible for variations in the doxorubicin metabolism. Transmembrane transporters such as p-glycoproteins were reported to be involved in cancer tissue retention of doxorubicin. ATP-binding cassette (ABC) family members, including ABCB1 transporters (also known as Multi-Drug Resistance 1 (MDR1)) proteins, were determined to pump out doxorubicin from breast cancer cells, therefore reducing the drug effectiveness. This study critically discusses the latest data about the role of CYP3A4, CYP2D6, and ABCB1 gene polymorphism in the regulation of doxorubicin’s effects in breast cancer patients. The assessment of genetic differences in the expression of doxorubicin metabolizing and transporting enzymes should be explored for the development of personalized medical treatment of breast cancer patients. Abstract Breast cancer (BC) is the prevailing malignancy and major cause of cancer-related death in females. Doxorubicin is a part of BC neoadjuvant and adjuvant chemotherapy regimens. The administration of anthracycline derivates, such as doxorubicin, may cause several side effects, including hematological disfunction, gastrointestinal toxicity, hepatotoxicity, nephrotoxicity, and cardiotoxicity. Cardiotoxicity is a major adverse reaction to anthracyclines, and it may vary depending on individual differences in doxorubicin pharmacokinetics. Determination of specific polymorphisms of genes that can alter doxorubicin metabolism was shown to reduce the risk of adverse reactions and improve the safety and efficacy of doxorubicin. Genes which encode cytochrome P450 enzymes (CYP3A4 and CYP2D6), p-glycoproteins (ATP-binding cassette (ABC) family members such as Multi-Drug Resistance 1 (MDR1) protein), and other detoxifying enzymes were shown to control the metabolism and pharmacokinetics of doxorubicin. The effectiveness of doxorubicin is defined by the polymorphism of cytochrome p450 and p-glycoprotein-encoding genes. This study critically discusses the latest data about the role of gene polymorphisms in the regulation of doxorubicin’s anti-BC effects. The correlation of genetic differences with the efficacy and safety of doxorubicin may provide insights for the development of personalized medical treatment for BC patients.

Abstract
Drug-induced cardiotoxicity (DICT) is an important concern of drug safety in both drug development and clinical application. The clinical manifestations of DICT include cardiomyopathy, arrhythmia, myocardial ischemia, heart failure, and a series of cardiac structural and functional changes. The occurrence of DICT has negative impacts on the life quality of the patients, brings additional social and economic burden. It is important to identify the potential factors and explore the mechanisms of DICT. Traditional cardiovascular risk factors can only partially explain the risk of DICT. Pharmacogenomic studies show accumulated evidence of genetics in DICT and suggest the potential to guide precision therapy to reduce risk of cardiotoxicity. The comprehensive application of technologies such as third-generation sequencing, human induced pluripotent stem (iPS) cells and genome editing has promoted the in-depth understanding of the functional role of susceptible genes in DICT. This paper reviewed drugs that cause DICT, the clinical manifestations and laboratory tests, as well as the related content of genetic variations associated with the risk of DICT, and further discussed the implication of new technologies in pharmacogenomics of DICT.

Abstract
The methods for the culture and cardiomyocyte differentiation of human embryonic stem cells, and later human induced pluripotent stem cells (hiPSC), have moved from a complex and uncontrolled systems to simplified and relatively robust protocols, using the knowledge and cues gathered at each step. HiPSC-derived cardiomyocytes have proven to be a useful tool in human disease modelling, drug discovery, developmental biology, and regenerative medicine. In this protocol review, we will highlight the evolution of protocols associated with hPSC culture, cardiomyocyte differentiation, sub-type specification, and cardiomyocyte maturation. We also discuss protocols for somatic cell direct reprogramming to cardiomyocyte-like cells.

Abstract
Anthracyclines constitute the cornerstone of numerous chemotherapy regimens for various cancers. However, the clinical application of anthracyclines is significantly limited to their dose-dependent cardiotoxicity. A comprehensive understanding of the current status of anthracycline-induced cardiotoxicity is necessary for in-depth research and optimal clinical protocols. Bibliometric analysis is widely applied in depicting development trends and tracking frontiers of a specific field. The present study is aimed at revealing the status and trends of anthracycline-induced cardiotoxicity during the past two decades by employing bibliometric software including R-bibliometric, VOSviewer, and CiteSpace. A total of 3504 publications concerning anthracycline-induced cardiotoxicity from 2002 to 2021 were collected from the Web of Science Core Collection database. Results showed significant growth in annual yields from 90 records in 2002 to 304 papers in 2021. The United States was the most productive country with the strongest collaboration worldwide in the field. Charles University in the Czech Republic was the institution that contributed the most papers, while 7 of the top 10 productive institutions were from the United States. The United States Department of Health and Human Services and the National Institutes of Health are the two agencies that provide financial support for more than 50% of sponsored publications. The research categories of included publications mainly belong to Oncology and Cardiac Cardiovascular Systems. The Journal of Clinical Oncology had a comprehensive impact on this research field with the highest IF value and many publications. Simunek Tomas from Charles University contributed the most publications, while Lipshultz Steven E. from the State University of New York possessed the highest H-index. In addition, the future research frontiers of anthracycline-induced cardiotoxicity might include early detection, pharmacogenomics, molecular mechanism, and cardiooncology. The present bibliometric analysis may provide a valuable reference for researchers and practitioners in future research directions.

Abstract
Many novel CRISPR-based genome-editing tools, with a wide variety of applications, have been developed in the past few years. The original CRISPR-Cas9 system was developed as a tool to alter genomic sequences in living organisms in a simple way. However, the functions of new CRISPR tools are not limited to conventional genome editing mediated by non-homologous end-joining or homology-directed repair but expand into gene-expression control, epigenome editing, single-nucleotide editing, RNA editing and live-cell imaging. Furthermore, genetic perturbation screening by multiplexing guide RNAs is gaining popularity as a method to identify causative genes and pathways in an unbiased manner. New CRISPR tools can also be applied to ex vivo or in vivo therapeutic genome editing for the treatment of conditions such as hyperlipidaemia. In this Review, we first provide an overview of the diverse new CRISPR tools that have been developed to date. Second, we summarize how these new CRISPR tools are being used to study biological processes and disease mechanisms in cardiovascular research and medicine. Finally, we discuss the prospect of therapeutic genome editing by CRISPR tools to cure genetic cardiovascular diseases.

Abstract
Doxorubicin (Dox), a widely used anticancer DNA-binding drug, affects chromatin in multiple ways, and these effects contribute to both its efficacy and its dose-limiting side effects, especially cardiotoxicity. Here, we studied the effects of Dox on the chromatin binding of the architectural proteins high mobility group B1 (HMGB1) and the linker histone H1, and the transcription factor retinoic acid receptor (RARα) by fluorescence recovery after photobleaching (FRAP) and fluorescence correlation spectroscopy (FCS) in live cells. At lower doses, Dox increased the binding of HMGB1 to DNA while decreasing the binding of the linker histone H1. At higher doses that correspond to the peak plasma concentrations achieved during chemotherapy, Dox reduced the binding of HMGB1 as well. This biphasic effect is interpreted in terms of a hierarchy of competition between the ligands involved and Dox-induced local conformational changes of nucleosome-free DNA. Combined, FRAP and FCS mobility data suggest that Dox decreases the overall binding of RARα to DNA, an effect that was only partially overcome by agonist binding. The intertwined interactions described are likely to contribute to both the effects and side effects of Dox.

Abstract
Doxorubicin is a commonly used chemotherapeutic drug, but its use is limited by doxorubicin-induced cardiotoxicity (DIC), which can lead to irreversible heart failure and death. A missense variant rs2229774 (p.S427L) in the retinoic acid receptor gamma (RARG) gene is associated with increased susceptibility to DIC, but the precise mechanism underlying this association is incompletely understood. We performed molecular dynamic simulations to determine the effect of this variant on RARG structure and then validated these predictions using CRISPR-Cas9-genome-edited, induced pluripotent stem cell-derived cardiomyocytes (iPSC-CMs). We found that this variant leads to reduced activation of its target genes in response to doxorubicin, including gene pathways involved in DNA repair and consequently an inability to mediate DNA repair after exposure to doxorubicin. Our findings establish a role of RARG p.S427L in attenuating DNA repair in DIC and provide insight into the pathogenesis of this cardiotoxic effect. RARG p.S427L is predicted to alter the stability of the C terminus of the protein The RARG p.S427L variant has impaired ability to activate its target genes This variant attenuates the DNA repair response to doxorubicin

Abstract
Anthracyclines, such as doxorubicin, are effective chemotherapeutic agents for the treatment of cancer, but their clinical use is associated with severe and potentially life-threatening cardiotoxicity. Despite decades of research, treatment options remain limited. The mitochondria is commonly considered to be the main target of doxorubicin and mitochondrial dysfunction is the hallmark of doxorubicin-induced cardiotoxicity. Here, we review the pathogenic mechanisms of doxorubicin-induced cardiotoxicity and present an update on cardioprotective strategies for this disorder. Specifically, we focus on strategies that can protect the mitochondria and cover different therapeutic modalities encompassing small molecules, post-transcriptional regulators, and mitochondrial transfer. We also discuss the shortcomings of existing models of doxorubicin-induced cardiotoxicity and explore advances in the use of human pluripotent stem cell derived cardiomyocytes as a platform to facilitate the identification of novel treatments against this disorder.

Abstract
Doxorubicin chemotherapy causes cardiotoxicity in some patients and spares others. In this issue of Cell Stem Cell, Magdy et al. (2021) use genome-edited iPSCs to establish a common RARG coding variant as a causal risk factor, pointing to a pharmacogenomic application and to RARG-targeting treatments to protect patients from cardiotoxicity.

Cells 2021; 10:3370. [PMID: 34943878 PMCID: PMC8699770 DOI: 10.3390/cells10123370] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/25/2021] [Revised: 11/18/2021] [Accepted: 11/22/2021] [Indexed: 01/19/2023] Open
Abstract
Subtype-specific human induced pluripotent stem cell-derived cardiomyocytes (hiPSC-CMs) are promising tools, e.g., to assess the potential of drugs to cause chronotropic effects (nodal hiPSC-CMs), atrial fibrillation (atrial hiPSC-CMs), or ventricular arrhythmias (ventricular hiPSC-CMs). We used single-cell patch-clamp reverse transcriptase-quantitative polymerase chain reaction to clarify the composition of the iCell cardiomyocyte population (Fujifilm Cellular Dynamics, Madison, WI, USA) and to compare it with atrial and ventricular Pluricytes (Ncardia, Charleroi, Belgium) and primary human atrial and ventricular cardiomyocytes. The comparison of beating and non-beating iCell cardiomyocytes did not support the presence of true nodal, atrial, and ventricular cells in this hiPSC-CM population. The comparison of atrial and ventricular Pluricytes with primary human cardiomyocytes showed trends, indicating the potential to derive more subtype-specific hiPSC-CM models using appropriate differentiation protocols. Nevertheless, the single-cell phenotypes of the majority of the hiPSC-CMs showed a combination of attributes which may be interpreted as a mixture of traits of adult cardiomyocyte subtypes: (i) nodal: spontaneous action potentials and high HCN4 expression and (ii) non-nodal: prominent INa-driven fast inward current and high expression of SCN5A. This may hamper the interpretation of the drug effects on parameters depending on a combination of ionic currents, such as beat rate. However, the proven expression of specific ion channels supports the evaluation of the drug effects on ionic currents in a more realistic cardiomyocyte environment than in recombinant non-cardiomyocyte systems.
