Abstract
OPINION STATEMENT Anthracycline (ANT)-induced cardiotoxicity (AIC) is a particularly prominent form of cancer therapy-related cardiovascular toxicity leading to the limitations of ANTs in clinical practice. Even though AIC has drawn particular attention, the best way to treat it is remaining unclear. Updates to AIC therapy have been made possible by recent developments in research on the underlying processes of AIC. We review the current molecular pathways leading to AIC: 1) oxidative stress (OS) including enzymatic-induced and other mechanisms; 2) topoisomerase; 3) inflammatory response; 4) cardiac progenitor cell damage; 5) epigenetic changes; 6) renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system (RAAS) dysregulation. And we systematically discuss current prevention and treatment strategies and novel pathogenesis-based therapies for AIC: 1) dose reduction and change; 2) altering drug delivery methods; 3) antioxidants, dexrezosen, statina, RAAS inhibitors, and hypoglycemic drugs; 4) miRNA, natural phytochemicals, mesenchymal stem cells, and cardiac progenitor cells. We also offer a fresh perspective on the management of AIC by outlining the current dilemmas and challenges associated with its prevention and treatment.

Abstract
Aclarubicin (aclacinomycin A) is one of the anthracycline antineoplastic antibiotics with a multifaceted mechanism of antitumor activity. As a second-generation drug, it offers several advantages compared to standard anthracycline drugs such as doxorubicin or daunorubicin, which could position it as a potential blockbuster drug in antitumor therapy. Key mechanisms of action for aclarubicin include the inhibition of both types of topoisomerases, suppression of tumor invasion processes, generation of reactive oxygen species, inhibition of chymotrypsin-like activity, influence on cisplatin degradation, and inhibition of angiogenesis. Therefore, aclarubicin appears to be an ideal candidate for antitumor therapy. However, despite initial interest in its clinical applications, only a limited number of high-quality trials have been conducted thus far. Aclarubicin has primarily been evaluated as an induction therapy in acute myeloid and lymphoblastic leukemia. Studies have indicated that aclarubicin may hold significant promise for combination therapies with other anticancer drugs, although further research is needed to confirm its potential. This paper provides an in-depth exploration of aclarubicin's diverse mechanisms of action, its pharmacokinetics, potential toxicity, and the clinical trials in which it has been investigated.

Hydroethanolic extract of Cirsium setidens ameliorates doxorubicin-induced cardiotoxicity by AMPK-PGC-1α-SOD-mediated mitochondrial protection. PHYTOMEDICINE : INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF PHYTOTHERAPY AND PHYTOPHARMACOLOGY 2024; 129:155633. [PMID: 38640859 DOI: 10.1016/j.phymed.2024.155633] [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: 11/16/2023] [Revised: 04/02/2024] [Accepted: 04/11/2024] [Indexed: 04/21/2024]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Doxorubicin (DOX) is an effective anticancer agent. However, the clinical outcomes of DOX-based therapies are severely hampered by their significant cardiotoxicity. PURPOSE We investigated the beneficial effects of an ethanol extract of Cirsium setidens (CSE) on DOX-induced cardiomyotoxicity (DICT). METHODS UPLC-TQ/MS analysis was used to identify CSE metabolite profiles. H9c2 rat cardiomyocytes and MDA-MB-231 human breast cancer cells were used to evaluate the effects of CSE on DICT-induced cell death. To elucidate the mechanism underlying it, AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK), peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma co-activator l-alpha (PGC1-α), nuclear respiratory factor 1 (NRF1), NRF2, superoxide dismutase (SOD1), and SOD2 expression was detected using western blot analysis. The oxygen consumption rate (OCR), cellular ROS, and mitochondrial membrane potential were measured. Finally, we confirmed the cardioprotective effect of CSE against DICT in both C57BL/6 mice and human induced pluripotent stem cell-derived cardiomyocytes (hiPSCCMs) by observing various parameters, such as electrophysiological changes, cardiac fibrosis, and cardiac cell death. RESULTS Chlorogenic acid and nicotiflorin were the major compounds in CSE. Our data demonstrated that CSE blocked DOX-induced cell death of H9c2 cells without hindrance of its apoptotic effects on MDA-MB-231 cells. DOX-induced defects of OCR and mitochondrial membrane potential were recovered in a CSE through upregulation of the AMPK-PGC1-α-NRF1 signaling pathway. CSE accelerated NRF1 translocation to the nucleus, increased SOD activity, and consequently blocked apoptosis in H9c2 cells. In mice treated with 400 mg/kg CSE for 4 weeks, electrocardiogram data, creatine kinase and lactate dehydrogenase levels in the serum, and cardiac fibrosis, were improved. Moreover, various electrophysiological features indicative of cardiac function were significantly enhanced following the CSE treatment of hiPSCCMs. CONCLUSION Our findings demonstrate CSE that ameliorates DICT by protecting mitochondrial dysfunction via the AMP- PGC1α-NRF1 axis, underscoring the therapeutic potential of CSE and its underlying molecular pathways, setting the stage for future investigations into its clinical applications.

Free Radic Biol Med 2024; 218:94-104. [PMID: 38582228 DOI: 10.1016/j.freeradbiomed.2024.04.212] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/12/2024] [Revised: 04/02/2024] [Accepted: 04/04/2024] [Indexed: 04/08/2024]
Abstract
Lamin A/C, essential inner nuclear membrane proteins, have been linked to progeria, a disease of accelerated aging, and many other diseases, which include cardiac disorder. Lamin A/C mutation and its phosphorylation are associated with altering nuclear shape and size. The role of lamin A/C in regulating normal cardiac function was reported earlier. In the present study, we hypothesized that Doxorubicin (Dox) may alter total lamin A/C expression and phosphorylation, thereby taking part in cardiac injury. An in vitro cellular injury model was generated with Dox (0.1-10.0 μM) treatment on cardiomyoblast cells (H9c2) to prove our hypothesis. Increased size and irregular (ameboid) nucleus shape were observed in H9c2 cells after Dox treatment. Similarly, we have observed a significant increase in cell death on increasing the Dox concentration. The expression of lamin A/C and its phosphorylation at serine 22 significantly decreased and increased, respectively in H9c2 cells and rat hearts after Dox exposure. Phosphorylation led to depolymerization of the lamin A/C in the inner nuclear membrane and was evidenced by their presence throughout the nucleoplasm as observed by immunocytochemistry techniques. Thinning and perforation on the walls of the nuclear membrane were observed in Dox-treated H9c2 cells. LMNA-overexpression in H9c2 protected the cells from Dox-induced cell death, reversing all changes described above. Further, improvement of lamin A/C levels was observed in Dox-treated H9c2 cells when treated with Purvalanol A, a CDK1 inhibitor and N-acetylcysteine, an antioxidant. The study provides new insight regarding Dox-induced cardiac injury with the involvement of lamin A/C and alteration of inner nuclear membrane structure.

Abstract
Breast Cancer (BC) is one of the most common tumours, and is known for its ability to develop resistance to chemotherapeutic treatments. Autophagy has been linked to chemotherapeutic response in several types of cancer, highlighting its contribution to this process. However, the role of mitophagy, a selective form of autophagy responsible for damaged mitochondria degradation, in the response to therapies in BC is still unclear. In order to address this point, we analysed the role of mitophagy in the treatment of the most common anticancer drug, doxorubicin (DXR), in different models of BC, such as a luminal A subtype-BC cell line MCF7 cells, cultured in 2-Dimension (2D) or in 3-Dimension (3D), and the triple negative BC (TNBC) cell line MDA-MB-231. Through a microarray analysis, we identified a relationship between mitophagy gene expressions related to the canonical PINK1/Parkin-mediated pathway and DXR treatment in BC cells. Afterwards, we demonstrated that the PINK1/Parkin-dependent mitophagy is indeed induced following DXR treatment and that exogenous expression of a small non-coding RNA, the miRNA-218-5p, known to target mRNA of Parkin, was sufficient to inhibit the DXR-mediated mitophagy in MCF7 and in MDA-MB-231 cells, thereby increasing their sensitivity to DXR. Considering the current challenges involved in BC refractory to treatment, our work could provide a promising approach to prevent tumour resistance and recurrence, potentially leading to the development of an innovative approach to combine mitophagy inhibition and chemotherapy.

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
INTRODUCTION Doxorubicin (DOX) emerges as a cornerstone in the arsenal of potent chemotherapeutic agents. Yet, the clinical deployment of DOX is tarnished by its proclivity to induce severe cardiotoxic effects, culminating in heart failure and other consequential morbidities. In response, a panoply of strategies has undergone rigorous exploration over recent decades, all aimed at attenuating DOX's cardiotoxic impact. The advent of encapsulating DOX within lipidic or polymeric nanocarriers has yielded a dual triumph, augmenting DOX's therapeutic efficacy while mitigating its deleterious side effects. AREAS COVERED Recent strides have spotlighted the emergence of DOX conjugates as particularly auspicious avenues for ameliorating DOX-induced cardiotoxicity. These conjugates entail the fusion of DOX through physical or chemical bonds with diminutive natural or synthetic moieties, polymers, biomolecules, and nanoparticles. This spectrum encompasses interventions that impinge upon DOX's cardiotoxic mechanism, modulate cellular uptake and localization, confer antioxidative properties, or refine cellular targeting. EXPERT OPINION The endorsement of DOX conjugates as a compelling stratagem to mitigate DOX-induced cardiotoxicity resounds from this exegesis, amplifying safety margins and the therapeutic profile of this venerated chemotherapeutic agent. Within this ambit, DOX conjugates stand as a beacon of promise in the perpetual pursuit of refining chemotherapy-induced cardiac compromise.

Abstract
Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs), a group of disorders affecting the heart or blood vessels, are the primary cause of death worldwide, with an immense impact on patient quality of life and disability. According to the World Health Organization, CVD takes an estimated 17.9 million lives each year, where more than four out of five CVD deaths are due to heart attacks and strokes. In the decades to come, an increased prevalence of age-related CVD, such as atherosclerosis, coronary artery stenosis, myocardial infarction (MI), valvular heart disease, and heart failure (HF) will contribute to an even greater health and economic burden as the global average life expectancy increases and consequently the world's population continues to age. Considering this, it is important to focus our research efforts on understanding the fundamental mechanisms underlying CVD. In this review, we focus on cellular senescence and mitochondrial dysfunction, which have long been established to contribute to CVD. We also assess the recent advances in targeting mitochondrial dysfunction including energy starvation and oxidative stress, mitochondria dynamics imbalance, cell apoptosis, mitophagy, and senescence with a focus on therapies that influence both and therefore perhaps represent strategies with the most clinical potential, range, and utility.

Cardioprotective role of a magnolol and honokiol complex in the prevention of doxorubicin-mediated cardiotoxicity in adult rats. Mol Cell Biochem 2024; 479:337-350. [PMID: 37074505 DOI: 10.1007/s11010-023-04728-w] [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: 12/10/2022] [Accepted: 04/02/2023] [Indexed: 04/20/2023]
Abstract
Doxorubicin (DOXO) induces marked cardiotoxicity, though increased oxidative stress while there are some documents related with cardioprotective effects of some antioxidants against organ-toxicity during cancer treatment. Although magnolia bark has some antioxidant-like effects, its action in DOXO-induced heart dysfunction has not be shown clearly. Therefore, here, we aimed to investigate the cardioprotective action of a magnolia bark extract with active component magnolol and honokiol complex (MAHOC; 100 mg/kg) in DOXO-treated rat hearts. One group of adult male Wistar rats was injected with DOXO (DOXO-group; a cumulative dose of 15 mg/kg in 2-week) or saline (CON-group). One group of DOXO-treated rats was administered with MAHOC before DOXO (Pre-MAHOC group; 2-week) while another group was administered with MAHOC following the 2-week DOXO (Post-MAHOC group). MAHOC administration, before or after DOXO, provided full survival of animals during 12-14 weeks, and significant recoveries in the systemic parameters of animals such as plasma levels of manganese and zinc, total oxidant and antioxidant statuses, and also systolic and diastolic blood pressures. This treatment also significantly improved heart function including recoveries in end-diastolic volume, left ventricular end-systolic volume, heart rate, cardiac output, and prolonged P-wave duration. Furthermore, the MAHOC administrations improved the structure of left ventricles such as recoveries in loss of myofibrils, degenerative nuclear changes, fragmentation of cardiomyocytes, and interstitial edema. Biochemical analysis in the heart tissues provided the important cardioprotective effect of MAHOC on the redox regulation of the heart, such as improvements in activities of glutathione peroxidase and glutathione reductase, and oxygen radical-absorbing capacity of the heart together with recoveries in other systemic parameters of animals, while all of these benefits were observed in the Pre-MAHOC treatment group, more prominently. Overall, one can point out the beneficial antioxidant effects of MAHOC in chronic heart diseases as a supporting and complementing agent to the conventional therapies.

Ebselen: A Review on its Synthesis, Derivatives, Anticancer Efficacy and Utility in Combating SARS-COV-2. Mini Rev Med Chem 2024; 24:1203-1225. [PMID: 37711004 DOI: 10.2174/1389557523666230914103339] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/09/2023] [Revised: 05/26/2023] [Accepted: 06/16/2023] [Indexed: 09/16/2023]
Abstract
Ebselen is a selenoorganic chiral compound with antioxidant properties comparable to glutathione peroxidase. It is also known as 2-phenyl-1,2-benzisoselenazol-3(2H)-one. In studies examining its numerous pharmacological activities, including antioxidant, anticancer, antiviral, and anti- Alzheimer's, ebselen has demonstrated promising results. This review's primary objective was to emphasize the numerous synthesis pathways of ebselen and their efficacy in fighting cancer. The data were collected from multiple sources, including Scopus, PubMed, Google Scholar, Web of Science, and Publons. The starting reagents for the synthesis of ebselen are 2-aminobenzoic acid and N-phenyl benzamide. It was discovered that ebselen has the ability to initiate apoptosis in malignant cells and prevent the formation of new cancer cells by scavenging free radicals. In addition, ebselen increases tumor cell susceptibility to apoptosis by inhibiting TNF-α mediated NF-kB activation. Ebselen can inhibit both doxorubicin and daunorubicin-induced cardiotoxicity. Allopurinol and ebselen administered orally can be used to suppress renal ototoxicity and nephrotoxicity. Due to excessive administration, diclofenac can induce malignancy of the gastrointestinal tract, which ebselen can effectively suppress. Recent research has demonstrated ebselen to inhibit viral function by binding to cysteinecontaining catalytic domains of various viral proteases. It was discovered that ebselen could inhibit the catalytic dyad function of Mpro by forming an irreversible covalent bond between Se and Cys145, thereby altering protease function and inhibiting SARS-CoV-2. Ebselen may also inhibit the activation of endosomal NADPH oxidase of vascular endothelial cells, which is believed to be required for thrombotic complications in COVID-19. In this review, we have included various studies conducted on the anticancer effect of ebselen as well as its inhibition of SARS-CoV-2.

Abstract
Carbon dioxide (CO2) is the most abundant component of greenhouse gases (GHGs) and directly creates environmental issues such as global warming and climate change. Carbon capture and storage have been proposed mainly to solve the problem of increasing CO2 concentration in the atmosphere; however, more emphasis has recently been placed on its use. Among the many methods of using CO2, one of the key environmentally friendly technologies involves biologically converting CO2 into other organic substances such as biofuels, chemicals, and biomass via various metabolic pathways. Although an efficient biocatalyst for industrial applications has not yet been developed, biological CO2 conversion is the needed direction. To this end, this review briefly summarizes seven known natural CO2 fixation pathways according to carbon number and describes recent studies in which natural CO2 assimilation systems have been applied to heterogeneous in vivo and in vitro systems. In addition, studies on the production of methanol through the reduction of CO2 are introduced. The importance of redox cofactors, which are often overlooked in the CO2 assimilation reaction by enzymes, is presented; methods for their recycling are proposed. Although more research is needed, biological CO2 conversion will play an important role in reducing GHG emissions and producing useful substances in terms of resource cycling.

Melatonin mitigates oxidative damage induced by anthracycline: a systematic-review and meta-analysis of murine models. Front Cardiovasc Med 2023; 10:1289384. [PMID: 38075951 PMCID: PMC10701532 DOI: 10.3389/fcvm.2023.1289384] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/05/2023] [Accepted: 10/30/2023] [Indexed: 05/29/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Oxidative stress induced by the excessive production of reactive oxygen species is one of the primary mechanisms implicated in anthracycline (ANT)-induced cardiotoxicity. There is a strong clinical need for a molecule capable of effectively preventing and reducing the oxidative damage caused by ANT. In vitro and in vivo studies conducted in mice have shown that melatonin stimulates the expression of antioxidative agents and reduces lipid peroxidation induced by ANT. METHODS We investigated this issue through a meta-analysis of murine model studies. The outcome of the meta-analysis was to compare oxidative damage, estimated by products of lipid peroxidation (MDA = Malondialdehyde) and markers of oxidative stress (SOD = Superoxide Dismutase, GSH = Glutathione), along with a marker of cardiac damage (CK-MB = creatine kinase-myocardial band), assessed by measurements in heart and/or blood samples in mice undergoing ANT chemotherapy and assuming melatonin vs. controls. The PubMed, OVID-MEDLINE and Cochrane library databases were analysed to search English-language review papers published from the inception up to August 1st, 2023. Studies were identified by using Me-SH terms and crossing the following terms: "melatonin", "oxidative stress", "lipid peroxidation", "anthracycline", "cardiotoxicity". RESULTS The metanalysis included 153 mice administered melatonin before, during or immediately after ANT and 153 controls from 13 studies. Compared with controls, the levels of all oxidative stress markers were significantly better in the pooled melatonin group, with standardized mean differences (SMD) for MDA, GSH and SOD being -8.03 ± 1.2 (CI: -10.43/-5.64, p < 0.001), 7.95 ± 1.8 (CI: 4.41/11.5, p < 0.001) and 3.94 ± 1.6 (CI: 0.77/7.12, p = 0.015) respectively. Similarly, compared with controls, CK-MB levels reflecting myocardial damage were significantly lower in the pooled melatonin group, with an SMD of -4.90 ± 0.5 (CI: -5.82/-3.98, p < 0.001). CONCLUSION Melatonin mitigates the oxidative damage induced by ANT in mouse model. High-quality human clinical studies are needed to further evaluate the use of melatonin as a preventative/treatment strategy for ANT-induced cardiotoxicity.

Abstract
Having established the significance of cardiovascular side-effects of anti-neoplastic drugs, present day cardio-oncology has forayed into newer territories buoyed by research into the multiple connections that exist between cardiovascular disease and cancer. An emerging concept of reverse cardio-oncology focuses on the heightened risk of cancer in patients with cardiovascular disease. Common mechanistics of cancer and heart failure (HF) like chronic inflammation and clonal haematopoesis as well as common predisposing factors like obesity and diabetes underline the relation between both cardiovascular disease and various cancers.This review discusses the potential magnitude of the problem, the underlying pathophysiological mechanisms and classification of this novel subject.

Abstract
Doxorubicin is a wildly used effective anticancer agent. However, doxorubicin use is also related to cardiotoxic side effect in some patients. Mitochondrial damage has been shown to be one of the pathogeneses of doxorubicin-induced myocardial injury. In this study, we demonstrated that mitochondrial transplantation could inhibit doxorubicin-induced cardiotoxicity by directly supplying functional mitochondria. Mitochondrial transplantation improved contractile function and respiratory capacity, reduced cellular apoptosis and oxidative stress in cardiomyocytes. Mitochondria isolated from various sources, including mouse hearts, mouse and human arterial blood, and human induced pluripotent stem cell-derived cardiomyocytes (hiPSC-CMs), all exerted similar cardioprotective effects. Mechanically, mitochondrial transplantation activates glutamine metabolism in doxorubicin-treated mice heart and blocking glutamine metabolism attenuated the cardioprotective effects of mitochondrial transplantation. Overall, our study demonstrates that mitochondria isolated from arterial blood could be used for mitochondrial transplantation, which might serve as a feasible promising therapeutic option for patients with doxorubicin-induced cardiotoxicity.

Abstract
Anthracyclines have been important and effective treatments against a number of cancers since their discovery. However, their use in therapy has been complicated by severe side effects and toxicity that occur during or after treatment, including cardiotoxicity. The mode of action of anthracyclines is complex, with several mechanisms proposed. It is possible that their high toxicity is due to the large set of processes involved in anthracycline action. The development of resistance is a major barrier to successful treatment when using anthracyclines. This resistance is based on a series of mechanisms that have been studied and addressed in recent years. This work provides an overview of the anthracyclines used in cancer therapy. It discusses their mechanisms of activity, toxicity, and chemoresistance, as well as the approaches used to improve their activity, decrease their toxicity, and overcome resistance.

OBJECTIVE The aim of the present study was to investigate the effects of Grape seed extract (GSE) and exercise training on Doxorubicin (Doxo)-induced cardio, hepato and myo toxicities in healthy rats. METHODS Thirty male Wistar rats were randomly divided into five groups and daily treated by intraperitoneal route during two months either with ethanol 10% (Control); Doxo (1.5 mg/kg); Doxo + exercise (1.5 mg/kg + swimming exercise for 30 min twice a week); Doxo + GSE (1.5 mg/kg + GSE 2.5 g/kg); Doxo + GSE + exercise (1.5 mg/kg + GSE 2.5 g/kg + swimming exercise for 30 min twice a week). At the end of the treatment, tissues were collected and processed for the determination of oxidative stress (OS), intracellular mediators, energy fuelling biomarkers, carbohydrate metabolism parameters and muscle histopathology. RESULTS Doxo provoked OS characterised by an increased lipoperoxidation (LPO) and protein carbonylation and decreased antioxidant enzyme activities. Doxo also affected intracellular mediators, disturbed carbohydrate metabolism and energy fuelling in skeletal muscle as assessed by down-regulated Electron Transport Chain (ETC) complex activities leading in fine to altered skeletal muscle structure and function. CONCLUSION Almost all Doxo-induced disturbances were partially corrected with GSE and exercise on their own and more efficiently with the combined treatment (GSE + exercise).

Morphine decreases cytotoxicity and mutagenicity of doxorubicin in vitro: Implications for cancer chemotherapy. Chem Biol Interact 2023; 382:110652. [PMID: 37524295 DOI: 10.1016/j.cbi.2023.110652] [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: 12/16/2022] [Revised: 07/21/2023] [Accepted: 07/29/2023] [Indexed: 08/02/2023]
Abstract
Morphine is the most common opioid analgesic administered to treat pain in patients undergoing cancer chemotherapy. This study aimed to evaluate the cytotoxic and mutagenic effects of morphine alone and in combination with doxorubicin (Dox), an antineoplastic agent largely used in patients with solid cancers. Cytotoxicity was evaluated in neuroblastoma (SH-SY5Y) and fibroblast (V79) cells using 3-[4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl]-2,5-diphenyl tetrazolium bromide (MTT) colorimetric assay while mutagenicity was assessed using the Salmonella/microsome assay in the absence and in the presence of S9 mix. Morphine showed a cytotoxic effect mainly on SH-SY5Y cells and reduced the cytotoxic effects of Dox when evaluated in a co-treatment procedure. In the Salmonella/microsome assay, it was observed that morphine did not induce mutations and, in fact, decreased the mutagenic effects induced by Dox in TA98 and TA102 strains in the absence of metabolic activation. Furthermore, in the presence of metabolic activation, no induction of mutations was observed with morphine. In conclusion, morphine decreased Dox cytotoxicity in both neuronal and non-neuronal cells and showed antimutagenic effects in the TA102 strain which detects mutagens inducing DNA oxidative damages. However, morphine decreased frameshift mutations induced by Dox in non-cytotoxic concentrations, an effect suggesting interference of Dox intercalation activity that could decrease its chemotherapeutic efficacy. These compelling findings highlight the importance of conducting further studies to explore the potential implications of co-administering morphine and Dox during cancer chemotherapy.

Abstract
Treatment of malignant lymphoma has for years been represented by many cardiotoxic agents especially anthracyclines, cyclophosphamide, and thoracic irradiation. Although they are in clinical practice for decades, the precise mechanism of cardiotoxicity and effective prevention is still part of the research. At this article we discuss most routinely used anti-cancer drugs in chemotherapeutic regiments for malignant lymphoma with the focus on novel insight on molecular mechanisms of cardiotoxicity. Understanding toxicity at molecular levels may unveil possible targets of cardioprotective supportive therapy or optimization of current therapeutic protocols. Additionally, we review novel specific targeted therapy and its challenges in cardio-oncology.

Abstract
Cardiotoxicity remains a major limitation in the clinical utility of anthracycline chemotherapeutics. Regulator of G-protein Signaling 7 (RGS7) and inflammatory markers are up-regulated in the hearts of patients with a history of chemotherapy particularly those with reduced left-ventricular function. RGS7 knockdown in either the murine myocardium or isolated murine ventricular cardiac myocytes (VCM) or cultured human VCM provided marked protection against doxorubicin-dependent oxidative stress, NF-κB activation, inflammatory cytokine production, and cell death. In exploring possible mechanisms causally linking RGS7 to pro-inflammatory signaling cascades, we found that RGS7 forms a complex with acetylase Tip60 and deacetylase sirtuin 1 (SIRT1) and controls the acetylation status of the p65 subunit of NF-κB. In VCM, the detrimental impact of RGS7 could be mitigated by inhibiting Tip60 or activating SIRT1, indicating that the ability of RGS7 to modulate cellular acetylation capacity is critical for its pro-inflammatory actions. Further, RGS7-driven, Tip60/SIRT1-dependent cytokines released from ventricular cardiac myocytes and transplanted onto cardiac fibroblasts increased oxidative stress, markers of transdifferentiation, and activity of extracellular matrix remodelers emphasizing the importance of the RGS7-Tip60-SIRT1 complex in paracrine signaling in the myocardium. Importantly, while RGS7 overexpression in heart resulted in sterile inflammation, fibrotic remodeling, and compromised left-ventricular function, activation of SIRT1 counteracted the detrimental impact of RGS7 in heart confirming that RGS7 increases acetylation of SIRT1 substrates and thereby drives cardiac dysfunction. Together, our data identify RGS7 as an amplifier of inflammatory signaling in heart and possible therapeutic target in chemotherapeutic drug-induced cardiotoxicity.

Abstract
Schiff bases and similar molecules forming metal complexes may cause redox effects, which may also be influenced by light. Anthraquinones such as doxorubicin and idarubicin are widely used antitumor agents, which can generate reactive oxygen species (ROS), stimulated by both the presence of iron and copper ions and also by light. The generated ROS can cause DNA scission, cell membrane oxidation, and many other toxic effects. The redox activity of the quinone-quinoline chelator 2-phenyl-4-(butylamino)naphtho [2,3-h]quinoline-7,12-dione (Q1) was investigated in the presence of iron, copper, and zinc. The influence of light in these interactions was also examined. The chemically induced dynamic nuclear polarization (CIDNP), nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), and electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) methods were used to elucidate the molecular changes and ROS generation effects of the Q1 metal interactions. A model electron transfer reaction system between 1,4-dihydropyridine and Q1 was utilized to demonstrate that the chelate complexes of Q1 with both Fe(III) and Cu(II) ions were more redox active than Q1 itself. Similarly, CIDNP and NMR data showed that the concentration dependence of the free radicals yield is much higher in the presence of Fe(III) and Cu(II) ions, in comparison to Zn(II), and also that it increased in the presence of light. These findings underline the role of transition metal ions and Q1 in cyclic redox chain reactions and increase the prospect of the development of copper- and iron-based chelating agents, including Q1 and its derivatives, for anticancer therapy. Furthermore, these findings also signify the effect of light on enhancing ROS formation by Q1 and the prospect of utilizing such information for designing target specific anticancer drugs for photodynamic therapy.

Abstract
AbstractBackgroundDoxorubicin is a widely used cytotoxic chemotherapy agent for treating different malignancies. However, its use is associated with dose‐dependent cardiotoxicity, causing irreversible myocardial damage and significantly reducing the patient's quality of life and survival. In this study, an animal model of doxorubicin‐induced cardiomyopathy was used to investigate the pathogenesis of doxorubicin‐induced myocardial injury. This study also investigated a possible treatment strategy for alleviating myocardial injury through resveratrol therapy in vitro.MethodsAdult male C57BL/6J mice were randomly divided into a control group and a doxorubicin group. Body weight, echocardiography, surface electrocardiogram, and myocardial histomorphology were measured. The mechanisms of doxorubicin cardiotoxicity in H9c2 cell lines were explored by comparing three groups (phosphate‐buffered saline, doxorubicin, and doxorubicin with resveratrol).ResultsCompared to the control group, the doxorubicin group showed a lower body weight and higher systolic arterial pressure, associated with reduced left ventricular ejection fraction and left ventricular fractional shortening, prolonged PR interval, and QT interval. These abnormalities were associated with vacuolation and increased disorder in the mitochondria of cardiomyocytes, increased protein expression levels of α‐smooth muscle actin and caspase 3, and reduced protein expression levels of Mitofusin2 (MFN2) and Sirtuin1 (SIRT1). Compared to the doxorubicin group, doxorubicin + resveratrol treatment reduced caspase 3 and manganese superoxide dismutase, and increased MFN2 and SIRT1 expression levels.ConclusionDoxorubicin toxicity leads to abnormal mitochondrial morphology and dysfunction in cardiomyocytes and induces apoptosis by interfering with mitochondrial fusion. Resveratrol ameliorates doxorubicin‐induced cardiotoxicity by activating SIRT1/MFN2 to improve mitochondria function.

Abstract
Off target damage to vital organ systems is an unfortunate side effect of cancer chemotherapy and remains a major limitation to the use of these essential drugs in the clinic. Despite decades of research, the mechanisms conferring susceptibility to chemotherapy driven cardiotoxicity and hepatotoxicity remain unclear. In the livers of patients with a history of chemotherapy, we observed a twofold increase in expression of G protein regulator RGS7 and a corresponding decrease in fellow R7 family member RGS11. Knockdown of RGS7 via introduction of RGS7 shRNA via tail vein injection decreased doxorubicin-induced hepatic collagen and lipid deposition, glycogen accumulation, and elevations in ALT, AST, and triglycerides by approximately 50%. Surprisingly, a similar result could be achieved via introduction of RGS7 shRNA directly to the myocardium without impacting RGS7 levels in the liver directly. Indeed, doxorubicin-treated cardiomyocytes secrete the endocrine factors transforming growth factor β1 (TGFβ1) and TGFβ superfamily binding protein follistatin-related protein 1 (FSTL1). Importantly, RGS7 overexpression in the heart was sufficient to recapitulate the impacts of doxorubicin on the liver and inhibition of TGFβ1 signaling with the receptor blocker GW788388 ameliorated the effect of cardiac RGS7 overexpression on hepatic fibrosis, steatosis, oxidative stress, and cell death as well as the resultant elevation in liver enzymes. Together these data demonstrate that RGS7 controls both the release of TGFβ1 from the heart and the profibrotic and pro-oxidant actions of TGFβ1 in the liver and emphasize the functional significance of endocrine cardiokine signaling in the pathogenesis of chemotherapy drive multiorgan damage.

Abstract
The chemotherapeutic drug of doxorubicin (DOX) has witnessed widespread applications for treating various cancers. DOX-treated dying cells bear cellular modifications which allow enhanced presentation of tumor antigen and neighboring dendritic cell activation. Furthermore, DOX also facilitate the immune-mediated clearance of tumor cells. However, disadvantages such as severe off-target toxicity, and prominent hydrophobicity have resulted in unsatisfactory clinical therapeutic outcomes. The effective delivery of DOX drug molecules is still challenging despite the rapid advances in nanotechnology and biomaterials. Huge progress has been witnessed in DOX nanoprodrugs owing to their brilliant benefits such as tumor stimuli-responsive drug release capacity, high drug loading efficiency and so on. This review summarized recent progresses of DOX prodrug-based nanomedicines to provide deep insights into future development and inspire researchers to explore DOX nanoprodrugs with real clinical applications.

Abstract
Oncologic patients are subjected to four major treatment types: surgery, radiotherapy, chemotherapy, and immunotherapy. All nonsurgical forms of cancer management are known to potentially violate the structural and functional integrity of the cardiovascular system. The prevalence and severity of cardiotoxicity and vascular abnormalities led to the emergence of a clinical subdiscipline, called cardiooncology. This relatively new, but rapidly expanding area of knowledge, primarily focuses on clinical observations linking the adverse effects of cancer therapy with deteriorated quality of life of cancer survivors and their increased morbidity and mortality. Cellular and molecular determinants of these relations are far less understood, mainly because of several unsolved paths and contradicting findings in the literature. In this article, we provide a comprehensive view of the cellular and molecular etiology of cardiooncology. We pay particular attention to various intracellular processes that arise in cardiomyocytes, vascular endothelial cells, and smooth muscle cells treated in experimentally-controlled conditions in vitro and in vivo with ionizing radiation and drugs representing diverse modes of anti-cancer activity.

Abstract
Anthracyclines such as doxorubicin are widely used chemotherapy drugs. A common side effect of anthracycline therapy is cardiotoxicity, which can compromise heart function and lead to dilated cardiomyopathy and heart failure. Dexrazoxane and heart failure medications (i.e., beta blockers and drugs targeting the renin-angiotensin system) are prescribed for the primary prevention of cancer therapy-related cardiotoxicity and for the management of cardiac dysfunction and symptoms if they arise during chemotherapy. However, there is a clear need for new therapies to combat the cardiotoxic effects of cancer drugs. Exercise is a cardioprotective stimulus that has recently been shown to improve heart function and prevent functional disability in breast cancer patients undergoing anthracycline chemotherapy. Evidence from preclinical studies supports the use of exercise training to prevent or attenuate the damaging effects of anthracyclines on the cardiovascular system. In this review, we summarise findings from experimental models which provide insight into cellular mechanisms by which exercise may protect the heart from anthracycline-mediated damage, and identify knowledge gaps that require further investigation. Improved understanding of the mechanisms by which exercise protects the heart from anthracyclines may lead to the development of novel therapies to treat cancer therapy-related cardiotoxicity.

Adriamycin downregulates the expression of KLF4 in cardiomyocytes in vitro and contributes to impaired cardiac energy metabolism in Adriamycin-induced cardiomyopathy. 3 Biotech 2023; 13:162. [PMID: 37152000 PMCID: PMC10160296 DOI: 10.1007/s13205-023-03584-1] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/13/2022] [Accepted: 04/23/2023] [Indexed: 05/09/2023] Open
Abstract
Adriamycin is a well-known anthracycline chemotherapeutic agent widely used in treating a variety of malignancies. However, Adriamycin's clinical use is limited due to its adverse side-effects, most importantly cardiomyopathy. Adriamycin-induced cardiotoxicity reportedly includes mitochondrial dysfunction. We hypothesize that modulation of KLF4, a key regulator of cardiac mitochondrial homeostasis might play a role in the development of Adriamycin-induced cardiomyopathy. Therefore, in the current work, we evaluated the interaction of Adriamycin with KLF4 and its subsequent downstream targets. Molecular docking revealed that Adriamycin interacts strongly with KLF4 at residues Thr 448, Arg 452, Ser 444 falls within C2H2 motif which is the active site. Quantitative real-time PCR also revealed that KLF4 is downregulated by Adriamycin in cardiomyocytes in vitro. The expression of KLF4 is downregulated in a dose-dependent manner, with a 0.12 ± 0.09-fold (p ≤ 0.05, n = 3) downregulation at a low dosage and 0.21 ± 0.02-fold (p ≤ 0.05, n = 3) downregulation at high dosage. Deficiency of KLF4 leads to an impairment of PPARγ that consequently supresses the proteins/enzymes involved in the fatty acid metabolism. Adriamycin-mediated suppression of KLF4 also affected the expression of PPARα in vitro. PPARα dysfunction is likely to cause defects in β-oxidation which ultimately results in impaired ATP synthesis. Cardiac cells are thus forced to switch over the substrate from free fatty acid to glucose. Moreover, Adriamycin elevates the expression of PPARβ due to downregulation of KLF4 leads to increased myocardial glucose utilization. Thus, a change in substrate preference affects the flexibility of metabolic network culminating in diminished energy production and other regulatory activities, altogether contributing to the development of cardiomyopathy. Thus, we conclude that the effect of Adriamycin on KLF4 disrupts mitochondrial homeostasis and lipid/glucose homeostasis resulting in a reduction of ATP synthesis which ultimately results in dilated cardiomyopathy.

Abstract
Kidneys are complex organs, and reproducing their function and physiology in a laboratory setting remains difficult. During drug development, potential compounds may exhibit unexpected nephrotoxic effects, which imposes a significant financial burden on pharmaceutical companies. As a result, there is an ongoing need for more accurate model systems. The use of renal organoids to simulate responses to nephrotoxic insults has the potential to bridge the gap between preclinical drug efficacy studies in cell cultures and animal models, and the stages of clinical trials in humans. Here we established an accessible fluorescent whole-mount approach for nuclear and membrane staining to first provide an overview of the organoid histology. Furthermore, we investigated the potential of renal organoids to model responses to drug toxicity. For this purpose, organoids were treated with the chemotherapeutic agent doxorubicin for 48 h. When cell viability was assessed biochemically, the organoids demonstrated a significant, dose-dependent decline in response to the treatment. Confocal microscopy revealed visible tubular disintegration and a loss of cellular boundaries at high drug concentrations. This observation was further reinforced by a dose-dependent decrease of the nuclear area in the analyzed images. In contrast to other approaches, in this study, we provide a straightforward experimental framework for drug toxicity assessment in renal organoids that may be used in early research stages to assist screen for potential adverse effects of compounds.

Abstract
Aberrant mitophagy has been identified as a driver for energy metabolism disorder in most cardiac pathological processes. However, finding effective targeted agents and uncovering their precise modulatory mechanisms remain unconquered. Fuzi, the lateral roots of Aconitum carmichaelii, shows unique efficacy in reviving Yang for resuscitation, which has been widely used in clinics. As a main cardiotonic component of Fuzi, mesaconine has been proven effective in various cardiomyopathy models. Here, we aimed to define a previously unrevealed cardioprotective mechanism of mesaconine-mediated restoration of obstructive mitophagy. The functional implications of mesaconine were evaluated in doxorubicin (DOX)-induced heart failure models. DOX-treated mice showed characteristic cardiac dysfunction, ectopic myocardial energy disorder, and impaired mitophagy in cardiomyocytes, which could be remarkably reversed by mesaconine. The cardioprotective effect of mesaconine was primarily attributed to its ability to promote the restoration of mitophagy in cardiomyocytes, as evidenced by elevated expression of PINK1, a key mediator of mitophagy induction. Silencing PINK1 or deactivating mitophagy could completely abolish the protective effects of mesaconine. Together, our findings suggest that the cardioprotective effects of mesaconine appear to be dependent on the activation of PINK1-induced mitophagy and that mesaconine may constitute a promising therapeutic agent for the treatment of heart failure.

Abstract
Cancer incidence and relative survival are expected to increase over the next few decades. With the majority of patients receiving combinatorial chemotherapy, an increasing proportion of patients experience long-term side effects from treatment-including reproductive disorders and infertility. A limited number of studies have examined mechanisms of single-agent chemotherapy-induced gonadotoxicity, with chemotherapy-induced oxidative stress being implicated in the loss of reproductive functions. Current methods of female fertility preservation are costly, invasive, only moderately successful, and seldom presented to cancer patients. The potential of antioxidants to alleviate chemotherapy has been overlooked at a time when it is becoming increasingly important to develop strategies to protect reproductive functions during chemotherapy. This review will summarize the importance of reactive oxygen species homeostasis in reproduction, chemotherapy-induced mitochondrial dysfunction in oocytes, chemotherapy-induced oxidative stress, and several promising natural adjuvants.

Abstract
The antidiabetic drug metformin has been shown to reduce cardiac injury under various pathological conditions, including anticancer drug doxorubicin (DOX)-induced cardiotoxicity, which makes metformin a prime candidate for repurposing. However, the mechanisms that mediate the cardioprotective effects of metformin remain highly controversial. In this study, we tested a prevailing hypothesis that metformin activates autophagy/mitophagy to reduce DOX cardiotoxicity. FVB/N mice and H9C2 cardiac myoblasts were treated with metformin, respectively. Autophagy/mitophagy was determined by Western blot analysis of microtubule-associated protein light chain 3, form-II (LC3-II), a well-established marker of autophagic vesicles. Although metformin had minimal effects on basal LC3-II levels, it significantly inhibited the accumulation of LC3-II levels by the lysosomal protease inhibitors pepstatin A and E64d in both total cell lysates and mitochondrial fractions. Also, dual fluorescent autophagy/mitophagy reporters demonstrated that metformin slowed the degradation rate of autophagic cargos or mitochondrial fragments in the lysosomes. These surprising results suggest that metformin inhibits rather than stimulates autophagy/mitophagy, sharply contrasting the popular belief. In addition, metformin diminished DOX-induced autophagy/mitophagy as well as cardiomyocyte death. Together, these results suggest that the cardioprotective effects of metformin against DOX cardiotoxicity may be mediated by its ability to inhibit autophagy and mitophagy, although the underlying molecular mechanisms remain to be determined.

Abstract
Aims Although chemotherapy agents are used to treating cancers, they have serious side effects, like their harmful effects on the cardiovascular system, limiting the clinical use of these chemotherapy agents. This study aimed to systematically investigate the potential role of ginseng derivatives in the prevention of chemotherapy-induced cardiac toxicity. Methods This systematic review was performed according to PRISMA guidelines strategy in databases till August 2022. First, identify studies related to using search terms in titles and abstracts. After studying and screening 209 articles, 16 articles were selected in this study according to our inclusion and exclusion criteria. Results According to the findings of this study, ginseng derivatives showed significant changes in biochemical, histological, and heart weight loss, as well as a reduction in mortality, which occurred in the groups treated with chemotherapy agents compared to the control groups. Co-administration of ginseng derivatives with chemotherapy agents inhibited or reversed these changes to near-moderate levels. The protective effects of ginseng derivatives can be due to their anti-inflammatory, anti-oxidant, and anti-apoptotic action. Conclusion This systematic review shows evidence that concomitant administration of ginseng derivatives improves chemotherapy-induced cardiac toxicity. However, for better conclusions about the practical mechanisms of ginseng derivatives in reducing the cardiac toxic effects of chemotherapy agents and evaluating the efficacy and safety of the compound simultaneously, it is necessary to design comprehensive studies.

Abstract
The combination of photodynamic therapy with chemotherapy (photochemotherapy, PCT) can lead to additive or synergistic antitumor effects. Usually, two different molecules, a photosensitizer (PS) and a chemotherapeutic drug are used in PCT. Doxorubicin is one of the most successful chemotherapy drugs. Despite its high efficacy, two factors limit its clinical use: severe side effects and the development of chemoresistance. Doxorubicin is a chromophore, able to absorb light in the visible range, making it a potential PS. Here, we exploited the intrinsic photosensitizing properties of doxorubicin to enhance its anticancer activity in leukemia, breast, and epidermoid carcinoma cells, upon irradiation. Light can selectively trigger the local generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS), following photophysical pathways. Doxorubicin showed a concentration-dependent ability to generate peroxides and singlet oxygen upon irradiation. The underlying mechanisms leading to the increase in its cytotoxic activity were intracellular ROS generation and the induction of necrotic cell death. The nuclear localization of doxorubicin represents an added value for its use as a PS. The use of doxorubicin in PCT, simultaneously acting as a chemotherapeutic agent and a PS, may allow (i) an increase in the anticancer effects of the drug, and (ii) a decrease in its dose, and thus, its dose-related adverse effects.

Abstract
Background Framingham risk score (FRS) is an effective tool for evaluating the 10-year risk of cardiovascular diseases. However, the sensitivity of FRS for anthracycline-induced cardiotoxicity is unclear. This meta-analysis aims to evaluate the correlation between risk factors (hypertension, hyperlipidemia, diabetes, smoking, and obesity) in FRS and anthracycline-induced cardiotoxicity in breast cancer. Methods We searched PubMed, EMBASE, and Cochrane Library for studies published from inception to January 2022 which reported cardiotoxicity due to anthracycline. Cardiotoxicity defined as any cardiac events were used as the primary endpoint. A total of 33 studies involving 55,708 breast cancer patients treated with anthracyclines were included in this meta-analysis. Results At least one risk factor was identified at baseline for the 55,708 breast cancer patients treated with anthracycline. Hypertension [I 2 = 45%, Fixed, RR (95% CI) = 1.40 (1.22, 1.60), p < 0.00001], hyperlipidemia [I 2 = 0%, Fixed, RR (95% CI): 1.35 (1.12, 1.62), p = 0.002], diabetes [I 2 = 0%, Fixed, RR (95% CI): 1.29 (1.05, 1.57), p = 0.01], and obesity [I 2 = 0%, Fixed, RR (95% CI): 1.32 (1.05, 1.67), p = 0.02] were associated with increased risks of cardiac events. In addition, smoking was also associated with reduced left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) during anthracycline chemotherapy [I 2 = 0%, Fixed, OR (95% CI): 1.91 (1.24, 2.95), p = 0.003] in studies that recorded only the odds ratio (OR). Conclusion Hypertension, hyperlipidemia, diabetes, smoking, and obesity are associated with increased risks of anthracycline-induced cardiotoxicity. Therefore, corresponding measures should be used to manage cardiovascular risk factors in breast cancer during and after anthracycline treatment.

Abstract
Cancer is one of the significant issues with public health and the second leading cause of death worldwide. The three most lethal cancers in the general population are stomach, lung, and liver cancers, in which lung and breast cancers cause the majority of cancer-associated deaths among men and women, respectively. CeO2 nanoparticles have a cytoprotectant effect in normal cells and a cytotoxic effect in cancer cells that enables them to induce the reactive oxygen species (ROS) production within cancer cells, which in turn develops reactive nitrogen species (RNS) that interfere with intracellular activities, and this property makes them an excellent anticancer agent. Because of its biofilm suppression, free radical scavenging ability, redox activity, and other unique properties, attention has been bestowed on cerium oxide nanoparticles as a potential alternative to solve many biomedical issues in the future. This review mainly focuses on the combinatorial effect of cerium dioxide nanoparticles and Doxorubicin in cancer management.

Abstract
Dose limiting cardiotoxicity remains a major limiting factor in the clinical use of several cancer chemotherapeutics including anthracyclines and the antimetabolite 5-fluorouracil (5-FU). Prior work has demonstrated that chemotherapeutics increase expression of R7 family regulator of G protein signaling (RGS) protein-binding partner Gβ5, which drives myocyte cytotoxicity. However, though several R7 family members are expressed in heart, the exact role of each protein in chemotherapy driven heart damage remains unclear. Here, we demonstrate that RGS11, downregulated in the human heart following chemotherapy exposure, possesses potent anti-apoptotic actions, in direct opposition to the actions of fellow R7 family member RGS6. RGS11 forms a direct complex with the apoptotic kinase CaMKII and stress responsive transcription factor ATF3 and acts to counterbalance the ability of CaMKII and ATF3 to trigger oxidative stress, mitochondrial dysfunction, cell death, and release of the cardiokine neuregulin-1 (NRG1), which mediates pathological intercommunication between myocytes and endothelial cells. Doxorubicin triggers RGS11 depletion in the murine myocardium, and cardiac-specific OE of RGS11 decreases doxorubicin-induced fibrosis, myocyte hypertrophy, apoptosis, oxidative stress, and cell loss and aids in the maintenance of left ventricular function. Conversely, RGS11 knockdown in heart promotes cardiac fibrosis associated with CaMKII activation and ATF3/NRG1 induction. Indeed, inhibition of CaMKII largely prevents the fibrotic remodeling resulting from cardiac RGS11 depletion underscoring the functional importance of the RGS11-CaMKII interaction in the pathogenesis of cardiac fibrosis. These data describe an entirely new role for RGS11 in heart and identify RGS11 as a potential new target for amelioration of chemotherapy-induced cardiotoxicity.

Abstract
Monitoring nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NADH) is important because NADH is involved in cellular redox reactions and cellular energy production. Currently, few biosensors quantify NADH in whole blood. However, they still have limitations due to several defects, including poor repeatability, long analysis time, and their requirement of extra sample pretreatment. In this study, we developed electrocatalytic sensors using screen-printed electrodes with a redox-active monolayer 4′-mercapto-N-phenylquinone diamine formed by a self-assembled monolayer of a 4-aminothiophenol (4-ATP). We exhibited their behavior as electrocatalysts toward the oxidation of NADH in whole blood. Finally, the electrocatalytic sensors maintained stability and exhibited 3.5 µM limit of detection, with 0.0076 ± 0.0006 µM/µA sensitivity in a mouse’s whole blood. As proof of concept, a polyhexamethylene guanidine phosphate–treated mouse model was used to induce inflammatory and fibrotic responses, and NADH level was measured for 45 days. This work demonstrates the potential of electrocatalytic sensors to analyze NADH in whole blood and to be developed for extensive applications.

Abstract
Chemotherapy, radiotherapy, targeted therapy, and immunotherapy have brought hope to cancer patients. With the prolongation of survival of cancer patients and increased clinical experience, cancer-therapy-induced cardiovascular toxicity has attracted attention. The adverse effects of cancer therapy that can lead to life-threatening or induce long-term morbidity require rational approaches to prevention and treatment, which requires deeper understanding of the molecular biology underpinning the disease. In addition to the drugs used widely for cardio-protection, traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) formulations are also efficacious and can be expected to achieve “personalized treatment” from multiple perspectives. Moreover, the increased prevalence of cancer in patients with cardiovascular disease has spurred the development of “reverse cardio-oncology”, which underscores the urgency of collaboration between cardiologists and oncologists. This review summarizes the mechanisms by which cancer therapy induces cardiovascular toxicity, the combination of antineoplastic and cardioprotective drugs, and recent advances in reverse cardio-oncology.

Abstract
Off-target binding is one of the primary causes of toxic side effects of drugs in clinical development, resulting in failures of clinical trials. While off-target drug binding is a known phenomenon, experimental identification of the undesired protein binders can be prohibitively expensive due to the large pool of possible biological targets. Here, we propose a new strategy combining chemical similarity principle and deep learning to enable proteome-wide mapping of compound-protein interactions. We have developed a pipeline to identify the targets of bioactive molecules by matching them with chemically similar annotated "bait" compounds and ranking them with deep learning. We have constructed a user-friendly web server for drug-target identification based on chemical similarity (DRIFT) to perform searches across annotated bioactive compound datasets, thus enabling high-throughput, multi-ligand target identification, as well as chemical fragmentation of target-binding moieties.

Abstract
Chemotherapy has historically been the mainstay of cancer treatment, but our understanding of what drives a successful therapeutic response remains limited. The diverse response of cancer patients to chemotherapy has been attributed principally to differences in the proliferation rate of the tumor cells, but there is actually very little experimental data supporting this hypothesis. Instead, other mechanisms at the cellular level and the composition of the tumor microenvironment appear to drive chemotherapy sensitivity. In particular, the immune system is a critical determinant of chemotherapy response with the depletion or knock-out of key immune cell populations or immunological mediators completely abrogating the benefits of chemotherapy in pre-clinical models. In this perspective, we review the literature regarding the known mechanisms of action of cytotoxic chemotherapy agents and the determinants of response to chemotherapy from the level of individual cells to the composition of the tumor microenvironment. We then summarize current work toward the development of dynamic biomarkers for response and propose a model for a chemotherapy sensitive tumor microenvironment.

Abstract
Aims: Cancer patients treated with anthracyclines are susceptible to atrial fibrillation (AF), while the mechanisms remain unclear. Due to sudden and unpredictable features, prediction of anthracycline-induced AF at early phase is difficult. Clinically, we tested whether anthracycline-induced early atrial remodeling in patients could be detected by echocardiography. Experimentally, we investigated the mechanisms of doxorubicin-induced atrial remodeling and AF in mice, and the protective effects of dexrazoxane and antioxidants. Methods and Results: Postsurgery breast cancer patients with an anthracycline-containing or anthracycline exclusion regimen were recruited for echocardiography before chemotherapy, and 3 and 6 months after chemotherapy. Mice were injected with doxorubicin or vehicle (5 mg/kg/week, 4 weeks), and left atrial diameter, electrical transmission, and AF inducibility were measured. Meanwhile, the level of reactive oxygen species (ROS), activity of antioxidant enzymes, cardiomyocyte size, vacuolization, inflammation, and fibrosis were also measured in mouse atria. The therapeutic effects of dexrazoxane and antioxidants on doxorubicin-induced changes in the aforementioned parameters were also determined. While ventricular parameters and functions were unchanged in cancer patients receiving anthracyclines before and after chemotherapy, left atrial reservoir and conduit function were decreased at 3 months postchemotherapy versus prechemotherapy. Doxorubicin-induced susceptibility to AF occurred in mice before onset of ventricular dysfunction. Doxorubicin-induced AF was via inducing structural remodeling (cardiomyocyte death, hypotrophy, and vacuolization) and electrical remodeling (reduction and redistribution of connexin 43) in atria, which was effectively prevented by dexrazoxane or antioxidants through inhibiting ROS generation or enhancing ROS elimination. Innovation and Conclusion: AF inducibility was induced after doxorubicin injection, which can be inhibited by repressing the ROS level. Antioxid. Redox Signal. 37, 19-39. The Clinical Trial Registration number is PJ-KS-KY-2019-73.

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.

[PMID: 35890211 PMCID: PMC9319223 DOI: 10.3390/pharmaceutics14071313] [Citation(s) in RCA: 11] [Impact Index Per Article: 5.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/10/2022] [Revised: 06/09/2022] [Accepted: 06/14/2022] [Indexed: 02/07/2023] Open
Abstract
Drug-induced cardiotoxicity not only leads to the attrition of drugs during development, but also contributes to the high morbidity and mortality rates of cardiovascular diseases. Comprehensive testing for proarrhythmic risks of drugs has been applied in preclinical cardiac safety assessment for over 15 years. However, other mechanisms of cardiac toxicity have not received such attention. Of them, mitochondrial impairment is a common form of cardiotoxicity and is known to account for over half of cardiovascular adverse-event-related black box warnings imposed by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. Although it has been studied in great depth, mitochondrial toxicity assessment has not yet been incorporated into routine safety tests for cardiotoxicity at the preclinical stage. This review discusses the main characteristics of mitochondria in cardiomyocytes, drug-induced mitochondrial toxicities, and high-throughput screening strategies for cardiomyocytes, as well as their proposed integration into preclinical safety pharmacology. We emphasize the advantages of using adult human primary cardiomyocytes for the evaluation of mitochondrial morphology and function, and the need for a novel cardiac safety testing platform integrating mitochondrial toxicity and proarrhythmic risk assessments in cardiac safety evaluation.

Mfn2-mediated mitochondrial fusion alleviates doxorubicin-induced cardiotoxicity with enhancing its anticancer activity through metabolic switch. Redox Biol 2022; 52:102311. [PMID: 35413642 PMCID: PMC9006862 DOI: 10.1016/j.redox.2022.102311] [Citation(s) in RCA: 15] [Impact Index Per Article: 7.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/06/2022] [Revised: 03/31/2022] [Accepted: 04/02/2022] [Indexed: 02/09/2023] Open
Abstract
Imbalanced mitochondrial dynamics including inhibited mitochondrial fusion is associated with cardiac dysfunction as well as tumorigenesis. This study sought to explore the effects of promoting mitochondrial fusion on doxorubicin(Dox)-induced cardiotoxicity and its antitumor efficacy, with a focus on the underlying metabolic mechanisms. Herein, the inhibition of Mfn2-mediated mitochondrial fusion was identified as a key phenotype in Dox-induced cardiotoxicity. Restoration of Mfn2-mediated mitochondrial fusion enhanced mitochondrial oxidative metabolism, reduced cellular injury/apoptosis and inhibited mitochondria-derived oxidative stress in the Dox-treated cardiomyocytes. Application of lentivirus expressing Drp1 (mitochondrial fusion inhibitor) or Rote/Anti A (mitochondrial complex I/III inhibitors) blunted the above protective effects of Mfn2. Cardiac-specific Mfn2 transgenic mice showed preserved mitochondrial fusion and attenuated myocardial injury upon Dox exposure in vivo. The suppression of Mfn2-mediated mitochondrial fusion was induced by Dox-elicited upregulation of FoxO1, which inhibited the transcription of Mfn2 by binding to its promoter sites. In the B16 melanoma, Mfn2 upregulation not only attenuated tumor growth alone but also further delayed tumor growth in the presence of Dox. Mechanistically, Mfn2 synergized with the inhibitory action of Dox on glycolysis metabolism in the tumor cells. One common feature in both cardiomyocytes and tumor cells was that Mfn2 increased the ratio of oxygen consumption rate to extracellular acidification rate, suggesting Mfn2 triggered a shift from aerobic glycolysis to mitochondrial oxidative metabolism. In conclusion, targeting Mfn2-mediated mitochondrial fusion may provide a dual therapeutic advantage in Dox-based chemotherapy by simultaneously defending against Dox-induced cardiotoxicity and boosting its antitumor potency via metabolic shift. Dox exposure inhibits Mfn2-mediated mitochondrial fusion in the hearts. The reduction of Mfn2 is mediated by FoxO1 in a transcriptional manner. Mfn2 overexpression reduces Dox-induced injury and enhances its anticancer action. Mfn2 induces a shift from aerobic glycolysis to mitochondrial oxidative metabolism.

Front Pharmacol 2022; 13:823975. [PMID: 35444554 PMCID: PMC9014097 DOI: 10.3389/fphar.2022.823975] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/28/2021] [Accepted: 03/16/2022] [Indexed: 12/18/2022] Open
Abstract
Background: Doxorubicin (DOX)-induced cardiotoxicity is a highly concerning issue, and the mechanism by which DOX induces cardiotoxicity is likely to be multifactorial. NADPH oxidase (NOX) is associated with DOX-induced cardiotoxicity. Setanaxib (GKT137831), a preferential direct inhibitor of NOX1 and NOX4, can delay or prevent the progression of many cardiovascular disorders by inhibiting reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation. In this study, we investigated the role of GKT137831 in ameliorating DOX-induced cardiotoxicity and the potential mechanisms of its action. Methods and Results: The mice model of cardiotoxicity induced by DOX was established, and GKT137831 treatment was performed at the same time. Neonatal rat cardiomyocytes (NRCMs) were treated with DOX or GKT137831 for in vitro experiments. We found that DOX administration impaired cardiac function in vivo, reflected by decreased left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) and fractional shortening (FS%). DOX also impaired the viability of NRCMs in vitro. In addition, DOX increased the levels of NOX1 and NOX4 expression and ROS production and the cardiomyocyte apoptosis rate, both in vivo and in vitro. GKT137831 improved cardiac function, as indicated by the increased LVEF and FS%. In vitro, GKT137831 improved NRCM viability. It also decreased ROS production and the cardiomyocyte apoptosis rate. Apoptotic indices, such as cleaved PARP (c-PARP), cleaved caspase 3 (CC3) and BAX expression levels, were decreased, and the antiapoptotic index of Bcl-2 expression was increased. DOX markedly activated phosphorylated JNK, ERK and p38 proteins in NRCMs. Specific inhibitors of JNK (SP600125), ERK (PD98059) or p38 (SB203580) inhibited DOX-induced apoptosis of NRCMs. GKT137831 pretreatment inhibited excessive DOX-induced MAPK pathway activation. Conclusion: This study revealed that GKT137831 can alleviate DOX-induced cardiomyocyte apoptosis by inhibiting NOX1/4-driven ROS production. The upregulation of MAPK pathway induced by NOX1/4-derived ROS production may be the potential mechanism of GKT137831 action. GKT137831 may be a potential drug candidate to ameliorate DOX-induced cardiotoxicity.

Abstract
Chemotherapy and targeted therapies have significantly improved the prognosis of oncology patients. However, these antineoplastic treatments may also induce adverse cardiovascular effects, which may lead to acute or delayed onset of cardiac dysfunction. These common cardiovascular complications, commonly referred to as cardiotoxicity, not only may require the modification, suspension, or withdrawal of life-saving antineoplastic therapies, with the risk of reducing their efficacy, but can also strongly impact the quality of life and overall survival, regardless of the oncological prognosis. The onset of cardiotoxicity may depend on the class, dose, route, and duration of administration of anticancer drugs, as well as on individual risk factors. Importantly, the cardiotoxic side effects may be reversible, if cardiac function is restored upon discontinuation of the therapy, or irreversible, characterized by injury and loss of cardiac muscle cells. Subclinical myocardial dysfunction induced by anticancer therapies may also subsequently evolve in symptomatic congestive heart failure. Hence, there is an urgent need for cardioprotective therapies to reduce the clinical and subclinical cardiotoxicity onset and progression and to limit the acute or chronic manifestation of cardiac damages. In this review, we summarize the knowledge regarding the cellular and molecular mechanisms contributing to the onset of cardiotoxicity associated with common classes of chemotherapy and targeted therapy drugs. Furthermore, we describe and discuss current and potential strategies to cope with the cardiotoxic side effects as well as cardioprotective preventive approaches that may be useful to flank anticancer therapies.
