Intercellular pathways of cancer treatment-related cardiotoxicity and their therapeutic implications: the paradigm of radiotherapy. Pharmacol Ther 2024; 260:108670. [PMID: 38823489 DOI: 10.1016/j.pharmthera.2024.108670] [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: 11/11/2023] [Revised: 05/16/2024] [Accepted: 05/25/2024] [Indexed: 06/03/2024]
Abstract
Advances in cancer therapeutics have improved patient survival rates. However, cancer survivors may suffer from adverse events either at the time of therapy or later in life. Cardiovascular diseases (CVD) represent a clinically important, but mechanistically understudied complication, which interfere with the continuation of best-possible care, induce life-threatening risks, and/or lead to long-term morbidity. These concerns are exacerbated by the fact that targeted therapies and immunotherapies are frequently combined with radiotherapy, which induces durable inflammatory and immunogenic responses, thereby providing a fertile ground for the development of CVDs. Stressed and dying irradiated cells produce 'danger' signals including, but not limited to, major histocompatibility complexes, cell-adhesion molecules, proinflammatory cytokines, and damage-associated molecular patterns. These factors activate intercellular signaling pathways which have potentially detrimental effects on the heart tissue homeostasis. Herein, we present the clinical crosstalk between cancer and heart diseases, describe how it is potentiated by cancer therapies, and highlight the multifactorial nature of the underlying mechanisms. We particularly focus on radiotherapy, as a case known to often induce cardiovascular complications even decades after treatment. We provide evidence that the secretome of irradiated tumors entails factors that exert systemic, remote effects on the cardiac tissue, potentially predisposing it to CVDs. We suggest how diverse disciplines can utilize pertinent state-of-the-art methods in feasible experimental workflows, to shed light on the molecular mechanisms of radiotherapy-related cardiotoxicity at the organismal level and untangle the desirable immunogenic properties of cancer therapies from their detrimental effects on heart tissue. Results of such highly collaborative efforts hold promise to be translated to next-generation regimens that maximize tumor control, minimize cardiovascular complications, and support quality of life in cancer survivors.

Abstract
The landscape of cancer survivorship is increasingly populated by individuals facing a spectrum of cardiometabolic risks, attributed to both their oncological history and treatment regimens. This manuscript synthesizes findings from various studies, highlighting the prevalence of traditional risk factors-hypertension, dyslipidemia, diabetes-as well as emergent concerns like obesity and metabolic syndrome among survivors. The impact of demographic variables, specific cancer types, and treatment modalities on cardiometabolic health is explored. Through a lens of multidisciplinary management and future research directives, we advocate for an integrative approach to cardiometabolic health in cancer survivors, aiming to ensure their victory over cancer extends into long-term well-being.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION The impact of pelvic irradiation on kidney transplant surgery is still unclear. The main objective of our study is to evaluate the feasibility and the safety of renal transplantation following pelvic radiotherapy. METHODS We collected characteristics and kidney transplant data from patients with a history of pelvic cancer treated with pelvic irradiation between 2005 and 2021. These data were collected via the prospective information system "Computerized Data Validated in Transplantation" (DIVAT) and medical records. We carried out a comparative study with a non-irradiated matched control group to compare the data of intraoperative surgeries, complications reported postoperatively as well as survival of the graft and the patient. Patients were matched on age, sex, side of graft implantation, and graft rank. RESULTS Twenty-four patients were collected with an average age of 65, 18 patients were treated for prostatic adenocarcinoma, 4 for gynecological cancer and 2 testicular cancers. Twenty-one patients were treated by radiotherapy, 3 by brachytherapy. Eight patients had a target dose on the iliac lymph nodes. The comparative study showed a significant difference in operative difficulty (n=15 versus n=1, P<0.01), operative duration (190min versus 149min, P=0.005), occurrence of lymphocele (P=0.041). Urinary anastomosis surgical techniques were different, 83.3% of control patients had an uretero-vesical anastomosis against 58.3% of patients with a history of irradiation (P=0.057) and about 29% of irradiated patients had an uretero-ureteral anastomosis. There was no other significant difference in per and postoperative criteria or survival. DISCUSSION A history of pelvic irradiation significantly increases the technical complexity of kidney transplantation without impacting safety and kidney graft survival. A history of pelvic irradiation should not be a contraindication to kidney transplant. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: 3

Abstract
Cardiovascular disease (CVD) and cancer are the leading causes of mortality worldwide. Although generally thought of as distinct diseases, the intersectional overlap between CVD and cancer is increasingly evident in both causal and mechanistic relationships. The field of cardio-oncology is largely focused on the cardiotoxic effects of cancer therapies (e.g., chemotherapy, radiation). Furthermore, the cumulative effects of cardiotoxic therapy exposure and the prevalence of CVD risk factors in patients with cancer lead to long-term morbidity and poor quality of life in this patient population, even when patients are cancer-free. Evidence from patients with cancer and animal models demonstrates that the presence of malignancy itself, independent of cardiotoxic therapy exposure or CVD risk factors, negatively impacts cardiac structure and function. As such, the primary focus of this review is the cardiac pathophysiological and molecular features of therapy-naïve cancer. We also summarize the strengths and limitations of preclinical cancer models for cardio-oncology research and discuss therapeutic strategies that have been tested experimentally for the treatment of cancer-induced cardiac atrophy and dysfunction. Finally, we explore an adjacent area of interest, called "reverse cardio-oncology," where the sequelae of heart failure augment cancer progression. Here, we emphasize the cross-disease communication between malignancy and the injured heart and discuss the importance of chronic low-grade inflammation and endocrine factors in the progression of both diseases.

Abstract
PURPOSE To investigate longitudinal thoracic aorta injury using 3-dimensional phase-contrast magnetic resonance imaging (4D flow MRI) parameters and to evaluate their value for predicting the subsequent main adverse cardiovascular events (MACEs) in breast cancer patients receiving anthracyclines. METHODS Between July 2020 and July 2021, eighty-eight female participants with breast cancer scheduled to receive anthracyclines with or without trastuzumab prospectively enrolled. Each subjects underwent 4D flow MRI at baseline, 3 and 6 months in relation to baseline. The diameter, peak velocity (Vpeak), wall shear stress (WSS), pulse wave velocity (PWV), energy loss (EL) and pressure gradient (PG) of thoracic aorta were measured. The association between these parameters and subsequent MACEs was performed by Cox proportional hazard models. RESULTS Ten participants had subsequently MACEs. The Vpeak and PG gradually decreased and the WSS, PWV and EL progressively increased at 3 and 6 months compared with baseline. Adjusted multivariable analysis showed that the WSS of the proximal, mid- and distal ascending aorta [HR, 1.314 (95% confidence interval (CI): 1.003, 1.898)], [HR, 1.320 (95% CI: 1.002, 1.801)] and [HR, 1.322 (95% CI: 1.001, 1.805)] and PWV of ascending aorta [HR, 2.223 (95% CI: 1.010, 4.653)] at 3 months were associated with subsequent MACEs. Combined WSS and PWV of ascending aorta at 3 months yielded the highest AUC (0.912) for predicting subsequent MACEs. CONCLUSION Combined WSS and PWV of ascending aorta at 3 months is helpful for predicting the subsequent MACEs in breast cancer patients treated by anthracyclines.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Coronary microvascular dysfunction (CMD) has been implicated as a potential mechanism in the pathophysiology of different clinical presentations, including ischemia and no obstructive coronary artery disease (INOCA), myocardial infarction and nonobstructive coronary arteries (MINOCA), stress cardiomyopathy, heart failure, and myocarditis. There are limited data about the role of CMD in cancer therapy-related cardiovascular toxicities. CASE PRESENTATIONS Four women with a diagnosis of active cancer receiving treatment who developed subsequent MINOCA or INOCA presented for cardiac catheterization. Upon coronary angiography showing no obstructive coronary arteries, coronary function testing was performed to evaluate for CMD. METHODS Coronary physiology was assessed measuring non-hyperemic (resting full-cycle ratio [RFR]) and hyperemic (fractional flow reserve [FFR]) indices using a physiologic pressure wire. The wire also measured coronary flow reserve (CFR), index of microcirculatory resistance (IMR), and RFR using thermodilution technology. CMD was confirmed if the CFR was <2.5 and the IMR was >25. RESULTS Among 4 patients with diagnosis of active cancer presenting with chest pain, there was no evidence of obstructive coronary artery disease, leading to separate diagnoses of INOCA, MINOCA, stress cardiomyopathy, and myocarditis. We found CMD in 2 patients (1 with INOCA and 1 with immune checkpoint inhibitor-related myocarditis). CONCLUSIONS CMD may play a role in cardiovascular toxicities. Further coronary physiology studies are needed to understand the mechanisms of cancer therapy-related cardiovascular toxicity and CMD, as well as optimal preventive and treatment options.

Abstract
Atherosclerosis, a complex metabolic-immune disease characterized by chronic inflammation driven by the buildup of lipid-rich plaques within arterial walls, has emerged as a pivotal factor in the intricate interplay between cancer and cardiovascular disease. This bidirectional relationship, marked by shared risk factors and pathophysiological mechanisms, underscores the need for a comprehensive understanding of how these two formidable health challenges intersect and influence each other. Cancer and its treatments can contribute to the progression of atherosclerosis, while atherosclerosis, with its inflammatory microenvironment, can exert profound effects on cancer development and outcomes. Both cancer and cardiovascular disease involve intricate interactions between general and personal exposomes. In this review, we aim to summarize the state of the art of translational data and try to show how oncologic studies on cardiotoxicity can broaden our knowledge of crucial pathways in cardiovascular biology and exert a positive impact on precision cardiology and cardio-oncology.

Abstract
Cardiovascular disease (CVD) and cancer are among the leading causes of morbidity and mortality globally, and these conditions are increasingly recognized to be fundamentally interconnected. In this Review, we present the current epidemiological data for each of the modifiable risk factors shared by the two diseases, including hypertension, hyperlipidaemia, diabetes mellitus, obesity, smoking, diet, physical activity and the social determinants of health. We then review the epidemiological data demonstrating the increased risk of CVD in patients with cancer, as well as the increased risk of cancer in patients with CVD. We also discuss the shared mechanisms implicated in the development of these conditions, highlighting their inherent bidirectional relationship. We conclude with a perspective on future research directions for the field of cardio-oncology to advance the care of patients with CVD and cancer.

Abstract
Cardiologists are encountering a growing number of cancer patients with ischaemic heart disease (IHD). Several factors account for the interrelationship between these two conditions, in addition to improving survival rates in the cancer population. Established cardiovascular (CV) risk factors, such as hypercholesterolaemia and obesity, predispose to both IHD and cancer, through specific mechanisms and via low-grade, systemic inflammation. This latter is also fuelled by clonal haematopoiesis of indeterminate potential. Furthermore, experimental work indicates that IHD and cancer can promote one another, and the CV or metabolic toxicity of anticancer therapies can lead to IHD. The connections between IHD and cancer are reinforced by social determinants of health, non-medical factors that modify health outcomes and comprise individual and societal domains, including economic stability, educational and healthcare access and quality, neighbourhood and built environment, and social and community context. Management of IHD in cancer patients is often challenging, due to atypical presentation, increased bleeding and ischaemic risk, and worse outcomes as compared to patients without cancer. The decision to proceed with coronary revascularization and the choice of antithrombotic therapy can be difficult, particularly in patients with chronic coronary syndromes, necessitating multidisciplinary discussion that considers both general guidelines and specific features on a case by case basis. Randomized controlled trial evidence in cancer patients is very limited and there is urgent need for more data to inform clinical practice. Therefore, coexistence of IHD and cancer raises important scientific and practical questions that call for collaborative efforts from the cardio-oncology, cardiology, and oncology communities.

Kreidieh F, McQuade J. Novel insights into cardiovascular toxicity of cancer targeted and immune therapies: Beyond ischemia with non-obstructive coronary arteries (INOCA). AMERICAN HEART JOURNAL PLUS : CARDIOLOGY RESEARCH AND PRACTICE 2024; 40:100374. [PMID: 38510501 PMCID: PMC10946000 DOI: 10.1016/j.ahjo.2024.100374] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/14/2024] [Accepted: 02/20/2024] [Indexed: 03/22/2024]
Abstract
Novel immune and targeted therapies approved over the past 2 decades have resulted in dramatic improvements in cancer-specific outcomes for many cancer patients. However, many of these agents can induce cardiovascular toxicity in a subset of patients. The field of cardio-oncology was established based on observations that anti-neoplastic chemotherapies and mantle radiation can lead to premature cardiomyopathy in cancer survivors. While conventional chemotherapy, targeted therapy, and immune therapies can all result in cardiovascular adverse events, the mechanisms, timing, and incidence of these events are inherently different. Many of these effects converge upon the coronary microvasculature to involve, through endocardial endothelial cells, a more direct effect through close proximity to cardiomyocyte with cellular communication and signaling pathways. In this review, we will provide an overview of emerging paradigms in the field of Cardio-Oncology, particularly the role of the coronary microvasculature in mediating cardiovascular toxicity of important cancer targeted and immune therapies. As the number of cancer patients treated with novel immune and targeted therapies grows exponentially and subsequently the number of long-term cancer survivors dramatically increases, it is critical that cardiologists and cardiology researchers recognize the unique potential cardiovascular toxicities of these agents.

Abstract
Targeted photodynamic therapy (PDT) offers advantages over nontargeted approaches, including improved selectivity, efficacy, and reduced side effects. This study developed star-shaped glycopolymeric photosensitizers using porphyrin-based initiators via ATRP. Incorporating a porphyrin core gave the polymers fluorescence and ROS generation, while adding fructose improved solubility and targeting capabilities. The photosensitizers had high light absorption, singlet oxygen production, specificity, low dark toxicity, and biocompatibility. The glycopolymers with longer sugar arms and higher density showed better uptake on MCF-7 and MDA-MB-468 cells compared to HeLa cells, indicating enhanced targeting capabilities. Inhibition of endocytosis confirmed the importance of the GLUT5 receptor. The resulting polymers exhibited good cytocompatibility under dark conditions and satisfactory PDT under light irradiation. Interestingly, the polymers containing fructose have a GLUT5-dependent elimination effect on the MCF-7 and MDA-MB-468 cells. The intracellular ROS production followed a similar pattern, indicating that the fructose polymer exhibits specific targeting toward cells with GLUT5 receptors.

Abstract
Conventional antineoplastic therapies cause severe normal tissue damage and existing cytoprotectants with acute toxicities or potential tumor protection limit their clinical application. We evaluated the selective cytoprotection of 2,2-dimethylthiazolidine hydrochloride in this study, which could protect normal tissue toxicity without interfering antineoplastic therapies. By using diverse cell lines and A549 xenograft model, we discovered a synthetic aminothiol 2,2-dimethylthiazolidine hydrochloride selectively diminished normal cellular ferroptosis via SystemXc-/Glutathione Peroxidase 4 pathway upon antineoplastic therapies without interfering the anticancer efficacy. We revealed the malignant and non-malignant tissues presenting different energy metabolism patterns. And cisplatin induces disparate replicative stress, contributing to the distinguishable cytoprotection of 2,2-dimethylthiazolidine in normal and tumor cells. The compound pre-application could mitigate cisplatin-induced normal cellular mitochondrial oxidative phosphorylation (OXPHOS) dysfunction. Pharmacologic ablation of mitochondria reversed 2,2-dimethylthiazolidine chemoprotection against cisplatin in the normal cell line. Combined, these results provide a potential therapeutic adjuvant to selectively diminish normal tissue damages retaining antineoplastic efficacy.

Abstract
Background Chemotherapy correlates to acute and long-term cardiotoxicity, is reflected clinically by myocardial and vascular endothelial dysfunction, and can cause cardiovascular complications. Thus, early diagnosis of cardiovascular disease in cancer patients undergoing anti-cancer treatment is necessary to enhance long-term survival. Our principal objective in this study was to discern the impact of specific anti-cancer chemotherapeutics and biologics on arterial stiffness alterations before and after the administration. Methods Conducted at Mustafa Bacha University Hospital, Algeria, the study focused on arterial stiffness in anti-cancer chemotherapy patients. Assessments included blood pressure, diabetes, and dyslipidemia, with precise measurements using validated systems, particularly pulse wave velocity (PWV). Various chemotherapy protocols were applied, and statistical analysis with R software (R Foundation for Statistical Computing, Vienna, Austria) maintained a significance level of p=0.05. Key outcomes centered on carotid-femoral PWV and secondary endpoints such as central and peripheral pressures and pulse pressure (PP). Univariate and bivariate analyses were conducted using appropriate statistical tests. Results A comparative prospective observational study was completed on 58 patients (34 women and 24 men; mean age: 52.64 +/- 12.12 years) treated with anti-cancer chemotherapy agents. Our evaluation included a complete clinical exam, electrocardiogram, Doppler echocardiography, and applanation tonometry with arterial stiffness measurement using PWV. Patients presented significantly higher levels of carotid-femoral PWV, regardless of the chosen chemotherapy protocol, with no return to the initial level after one year of stopping treatment (p-value < 0.01). Moreover, this increase was more significant in patients with diabetes and hypertension and patients treated with monoclonal antibodies or intercalants. Conclusion This prospective study shows that chemotherapy patients have elevated arterial stiffness, emphasizing the need to assess PWV and monitor cardiovascular risk factors. PP measurement with PWV could improve risk management.

Changes in vascular function and correlation with cardiotoxicity in women with newly diagnosed breast cancer undergoing HER2-directed therapy with and without anthracycline/cyclophosphamide. EUROPEAN HEART JOURNAL OPEN 2024; 4:oead130.

Abstract
Aims The objective of this study was to assess the effect of HER2-directed therapy (HER2-Tx) on peripheral vasoreactivity and its correlation with cardiac function changes and the additive effects of anthracycline/cyclophosphamide (AC) therapy and baseline cardiovascular risk. Methods and results Single-centre, prospective cohort study of women with newly diagnosed stage 1-3 HER2-positive breast cancer undergoing HER2-Tx +/- AC. All participants underwent baseline and 3-monthly evaluations with Endo-Peripheral Arterial Tonometry (Endo-PAT), vascular biomarkers [C-type natriuretic peptide (CNP) and neuregulin-1 beta (NRG-1β)], and echocardiography. Cardiotoxicity was defined as a decrease in the left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) of >10% to a value <53%. Of the 47 patients enrolled, 20 (43%) received AC in addition to HER2-Tx. Deterioration of reactive hyperaemia index (RHI) on Endo-PAT by ≥20% was more common in patients receiving HER-Tx plus AC than HER2-Tx alone (65% vs. 22%; P = 0.003). A decrease in CNP and log NRG-1β levels by 1 standard deviation did not differ significantly between the AC and non-AC groups (CNP: 20.0% vs. 7.4%; P = 0.20 and NRG-1β: 15% vs. 11%; P = 0.69) nor did GLS (35% vs. 37%; P = 0.89). Patients treated with AC had a significantly lower 3D LVEF than non-AC recipients as early as 3 months after exposure (mean 59.3% (SD 3) vs. 63.8% (SD 4); P = 0.02). Reactive hyperaemia index and GLS were the only parameters correlating with LVEF change. Conclusion Combination therapy with AC, but not HER2-Tx alone, leads to a decline in peripheral vascular and cardiac function. Larger studies will need to define more precisely the causal correlation between vascular and cardiac function changes in cancer patients.

Abstract
Interpretation of posttreatment imaging findings in patients with head and neck cancer can pose a substantial challenge. Malignancies in this region are often managed through surgery, radiation therapy, chemotherapy, and newer approaches like immunotherapy. After treatment, patients may experience various expected changes, including mucositis, soft-tissue inflammation, laryngeal edema, and salivary gland inflammation. Imaging techniques such as CT, MRI, and PET scans help differentiate these changes from tumor recurrence. Complications such as osteoradionecrosis, chondroradionecrosis, and radiation-induced vasculopathy can arise because of radiation effects. Radiation-induced malignancies may occur in the delayed setting. This review article emphasizes the importance of posttreatment surveillance imaging to ensure proper care of patients with head and neck cancer and highlights the complexities in distinguishing between expected treatment effects and potential complications.

Abstract
Angiogenesis is the physiological process that results in the formation of new blood vessels develop from pre-existing vasculature and plays a significant role in several physiological and pathological processes. Inhibiting angiogenesis, a crucial mechanism in the growth and metastasis of cancer, has been proposed as a potential anticancer therapy. Different studies showed the beneficial effects of angiogenesis inhibitors either in patients suffering from different cancers, alone or in combination with conventional therapies. Even though there are currently a number of efficient anti-angiogenic drugs, including monoclonal antibodies and kinase inhibitors, the associated toxicity profile and their affordability constraints are prompting researchers to search for a safe and affordable angiostatic agent for cancer treatment. Endostatin is one of the endogenous anti-angiogenic candidates that have been extensively pursued for the treatment of cancer, but even over three decades after its discovery, we have not made much advancement in employing it as an anticancer therapeutic despite of its remarkable anti-angiogenic effect with low toxicity profile. A recombinant human endostatin (rh-Es) variant for non-small cell lung cancer was approved by China in 2006 and has since been used effectively. Several other successful clinical trials related to endostatin for various malignancies are either ongoing or have already been completed with promising results. Thus, in this review, we have provided an overview of existing anti-angiogenic drugs developed for cancer therapy, with a summary of tumour angiogenesis in the context of Endostatin, and clinical status of rh-Es in cancer treatment. Furthermore, we briefly discuss the various strategies to improve endostatin features (poor pharmacokinetic properties) for developing rh-Es as a safe and effective agent for cancer treatment.

Abstract
Cancer is the second leading cause of death globally, but conventional anticancer drugs have side effects, mainly due to their non-specific distribution in the body in both cancerous and healthy cells. To address this relevant issue and improve the efficiency of anticancer drugs, increasing attention is being devoted to hydrogel drug-delivery systems for different kinds of cancer treatment due to their high biocompatibility and stability, low side effects, and ease of modifications. To improve the therapeutic efficiency and provide multi-functionality, different types of nanoparticles (NPs) can be incorporated within the hydrogels to form smart hydrogel nanocomposites, benefiting the advantages of both counterparts and suitable for advanced anticancer applications. Despite many papers on non-peptide hydrogel nanocomposites, there is limited knowledge about peptide-based nanocomposites, specifically in anti-cancer drug delivery. The aim of this short but comprehensive review is, therefore, to focus attention on the synergies resulting from the combination of NPs with peptide-based hydrogels. This review, which includes a survey of recent advances in this kind of material, does not aim to be an exhaustive review of hydrogel technology, but it instead highlights recent noteworthy publications and discusses novel perspectives to provide valuable insights into the promising synergic combination of peptide hydrogels and NPs for the design of novel anticancer drug delivery systems.

Abstract
With the improvement in cancer prognosis due to advances in antitumor therapeutic protocols and new targeted and immunotherapies, we are witnessing a growing increase in survival, however, at the same timeincrease in morbidity among cancer survivors as a consequences of the increased cardiovascular adverse effects of antineoplastic drugs. Common cardiovascular complications of antineoplastic therapies may include cardiac complications such as arrhythmias, myocardial ischemia, left ventricular dysfunction culminating in heart failure as well as vascular complications including arterial hypertension, thromboembolic events, and accelerated atherosclerosis. The toxicity results from the fact that these drugs not only target cancer cells but also affect normal cells within the cardiovascular system. In this article, we review the clinical features and main mechanisms implicated in antineoplastic drug-induced cardiovascular toxicity, including oxidative stress, inflammation, immunothrombosis and growth factors-induced signaling pathways.

Abstract
Cardiovascular diseases pose a huge threat to global human health and are also a major obstacle to drug development and disease treatment. Drug-induced cardiotoxicity remains an important clinical issue. Both traditional two-dimensional (2D) monolayer cell models and animal models have their own limitations and are not fully suitable for the study of human heart physiology or pathology. Cardiac organoids are three-dimensional (3D) and self-organized structures that accurately retain the biological characteristics and functions of heart tissue. In this study, we successfully established a human cardiac organoid model by inducing the directed differentiation of human embryonic stem cells, which recapitulates the patterns of early myocardial development. Moreover, this model accurately characterized the cardiotoxic damage caused by the anticancer drug doxorubicin, including clinical cardiac injury and cardiac function indicators, cell apoptosis, inflammation, fibrosis, as well as mitochondrial damage. In general, the cardiac organoid model can be used to evaluate the cardiotoxicity of drugs, opening new directions and ideas for drug screening and cardiotoxicity research.

Influences of lysine-specific demethylase 1 inhibitors on NO synthase-Kruppel-like factor pathways in human endothelial cells in vitro and zebrafish (Danio rerio) larvae in vivo. J Appl Toxicol 2023; 43:1748-1760. [PMID: 37408164 DOI: 10.1002/jat.4512] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/11/2023] [Revised: 06/02/2023] [Accepted: 06/17/2023] [Indexed: 07/07/2023]
Abstract
Lysine-specific demethylase 1 (LSD1) inhibitors are being developed for cancer therapy, but their bioeffects on vasculatures are not clear. In this study, we compared the influences of ORY-1001 (an LSD1 inhibitor being advanced into clinical trials) and 199 (a novel LSD1 inhibitor recently developed by us) to human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) in vitro and further verified the bioeffects of ORY-1001 to zebrafish (Danio rerio) larvae in vivo. The results showed that up to 10 μM ORY-1001 or 199 did not significantly affect the cellular viability of HUVECs but substantially reduced the release of inflammatory interleukin-8 (IL-8) and IL-6. The signaling molecule in vasculatures, NO, was also increased in HUVECs. As the mechanism, the protein levels of endothelial NO synthase (eNOS) or p-eNOS, and their regulators Kruppel-like factor 2 (KLF2) or KLF4, were also increased after drug treatment. In vivo, 24 h treatment with up to 100 nM ORY-1001 reduced blood speed without changing morphologies or locomotor activities in zebrafish larvae. ORY-1001 treatment reduced the expression of il8 but promoted the expression of klf2a and nos in the zebrafish model. These data show that LSD1 inhibitors were not toxic but capable to inhibit inflammatory responses and affect the function of blood vessels through the up-regulation of the NOS-KLF pathway.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Cardiotoxicity restricts anthracycline and trastuzumab treatment of Human Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor 2 positive early breast cancer. Endothelial dysfunction and arteriosclerosis are significant cardiovascular risk factors. OBJECTIVES We studied the effect of anthracycline-based chemotherapy, with or without trastuzumab, on endothelium and arteriosclerosis in patients with breast cancer. METHODS In this case-control study, 52 women with breast cancer and 104 women without breast cancer were examined longitudinally up to 15 months following (in the breast cancer group) initiation of chemotherapy. Arterial stiffness was evaluated through pulse wave velocity (PWV), while endothelial function via flow-mediated dilatation (FMD) at baseline (T0), 3 (T1), 6 (T2), and 15 (T3) months later. RESULTS There was no difference between subjects with breast cancer and control in PWV and FMD at baseline. Longitudinally, participants with breast cancer exhibited considerable impairment of PWV and FMD compared to the control group (p for interaction <0.001 for both parameters). In breast cancer patients, there was a significant increase from T0 to T3 in PWV (7.43 ± 1.68 m/s vs. 8.18 ± 2.00 m/s, p = 0.01) and decrease in FMD (6.95 ± 2.86% vs. 5.03 ± 2.83%, p = 0.006). The addition of trastuzumab in the treatment did not have any effect on PWV (p = 0.74) or FMD (p = 0.91). CONCLUSIONS In patients with breast cancer, there is progression of endothelial dysfunction and arteriosclerosis up to 15 months following initiation of anthracycline-based chemotherapy. Trastuzumab has no additive effect on endothelial function or arterial stiffness.

Abstract
Direct oral anticoagulants against activated factor X and thrombin were the last milestone in thrombosis treatment. Step by step, they replaced antivitamin K and heparins in most of their therapeutic indications. As effective as the previous anticoagulant, the decreased but persistent risk of bleeding while using direct oral anticoagulants has created space for new therapeutics aiming to provide the same efficacy with better safety. On this basis, drug targeting factor XI emerged as an option. In particular, cancer patients might be one of the populations that will most benefit from this technical advance. In this review, after a brief presentation of the different factor IX inhibitors, we explore the potential benefit of this new treatment for cancer patients.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW Testicular cancer (TC) is the leading cancer in men between 18 and 39 years of age. Current treatment involves tumor resection followed by surveillance and/or one or more lines of cisplatin-based chemotherapy (CBCT) and/or bone marrow transplant (BMT). Ten years after treatment, CBCT has been associated with significant atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (CVD) including myocardial infarction (MI), stroke, and heightened rates of hypertension, dyslipidemia, diabetes mellitus, and metabolic syndrome (MetS). Additionally, low testosterone levels and hypogonadism contribute to MetS and may further drive CVD. RECENT FINDINGS CVD in TCS has been associated with worse physical functioning accompanied by role limitations, decreased energy, and decreased overall health. Exercise may play a role in ameliorating these effects. Systematic CVD screening practices are needed at TC diagnosis and in survivorship. We encourage a multidisciplinary partnership between primary care physicians, cardiologists, cardio-oncologists, medical oncologists, and survivorship providers to address these needs.

Abstract
The resistance of cancer cells to chemotherapeutic drugs greatly reduces the therapeutic effect in cancer patients, and the toxic side effects caused by chemotherapy also seriously affect the quality of life of patients. The combination of epigallocatechin-3-gallate (EGCG), the main active ingredient in tea, with cisplatin, 5-FU, doxorubicin and paclitaxel enhances their sensitizing effect on tumors and combats the drug resistance of cancer cells. These effects seem to be mediated by a variety of mechanisms, including combating drug resistance mediated by cancer stem cells, enhancing drug sensitivity, inducing cell cycle arrest and apoptosis, and blocking angiogenesis. In addition, EGCG can suppress a series of adverse effects caused by chemotherapy, such as gastrointestinal disorders, nephrotoxicity and cardiotoxicity, through its anti-inflammatory and antioxidant effects and improve the quality of life of patients. However, the low bioavailability and off-target effects of EGCG and its reactivity with some chemotherapeutic agents limit its clinical application. The nanomodification of EGCG and chemotherapeutic drugs not only enhances the antitumor activity but also prolongs the survival time of tumor-bearing mice, and has the advantage of low toxicity. Therefore, this review aims to discuss the current status and challenges regarding the use of EGCG in combination with chemotherapy drugs in the treatment of cancer. In general, EGCG is a promising adjuvant for chemotherapy.

Abstract
Background Hypertension and vascular toxicity are major unwanted side effects of antiangiogenic drugs, such as vascular endothelial growth factor inhibitors (VEGFis), which are effective anticancer drugs but have unwanted side effects, including vascular toxicity and hypertension. Poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP) inhibitors, used to treat ovarian and other cancers, have also been associated with elevated blood pressure. However, when patients with cancer receive both olaparib, a PARP inhibitor, and VEGFi, the risk of blood pressure elevation is reduced. Underlying molecular mechanisms are unclear, but PARP-regulated transient receptor potential cation channel, subfamily M, member 2 (TRPM2), a redox-sensitive calcium channel, may be important. We investigated whether PARP/TRPM2 plays a role in VEGFi-induced vascular dysfunction and whether PARP inhibition ameliorates the vasculopathy associated with VEGF inhibition. Methods and Results Human vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs), human aortic endothelial cells, and wild-type mouse mesenteric arteries were studied. Cells/arteries were exposed to axitinib (VEGFi) alone and in combination with olaparib. Reactive oxygen species production, Ca2+ influx, protein/gene analysis, PARP activity, and TRPM2 signaling were assessed in VSMCs, and nitric oxide levels were determined in endothelial cells. Vascular function was assessed by myography. Axitinib increased PARP activity in VSMCs in a reactive oxygen species-dependent manner. Endothelial dysfunction and hypercontractile responses were ameliorated by olaparib and a TRPM2 blocker (8-Br-cADPR). VSMC reactive oxygen species production, Ca2+ influx, and phosphorylation of myosin light chain 20 and endothelial nitric oxide synthase (Thr495) were augmented by axitinib and attenuated by olaparib and TRPM2 inhibition. Proinflammatory markers were upregulated in axitinib-stimulated VSMCs, which was reduced by reactive oxygen species scavengers and PARP-TRPM2 inhibition. Human aortic endothelial cells exposed to combined olaparib and axitinib showed nitric oxide levels similar to VEGF-stimulated cells. Conclusions Axitinib-mediated vascular dysfunction involves PARP and TRPM2, which, when inhibited, ameliorate the injurious effects of VEGFi. Our findings define a potential mechanism whereby PARP inhibitor may attenuate vascular toxicity in VEGFi-treated patients with cancer.

Abstract
Both cardiovascular disease and cancer continue to be causes of morbidity and mortality all over the world. Preventing and treating heart disease in patients undergoing cancer treatment remain an important and ongoing challenge for improving the lives of cancer patients, but also for their survival. Despite ongoing efforts to improve patient survival, minimal advances have been made in the early detection of cardiovascular disease in patients suffering from cancer. Understanding the communication between cancer and cardiovascular disease can be based on a deeper knowledge of the molecular mechanisms that define the profile of the bilateral network and establish disease-specific biomarkers and therapeutic targets. The role of exosomes, microvesicles, and apoptotic bodies, together defined as extracellular vesicles (EVs), in cross talk between cardiovascular disease and cancer is in an incipient form of research. Here, we will discuss the preclinical evidence on the bilateral connection between cancer and cardiovascular disease (especially early cardiac changes) through some specific mediators such as EVs. Investigating EV-based biomarkers and therapies may uncover the responsible mechanisms, detect the early stages of cardiovascular damage and elucidate novel therapeutic approaches. The ultimate goal is to reduce the burden of cardiovascular diseases by improving the standard of care in oncological patients treated with anticancer drugs or radiotherapy.

Primary Thromboprophylaxis and the Risk of Venous Thromboembolic Events in Patients With Testicular Germ Cell Tumors Treated With Cisplatinum-Based Chemotherapy. Clin Genitourin Cancer 2023; 21:24-31. [PMID: 36400695 DOI: 10.1016/j.clgc.2022.10.005] [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: 06/03/2022] [Revised: 10/05/2022] [Accepted: 10/09/2022] [Indexed: 02/01/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Cisplatinum-based chemotherapy is associated with an increased risk of venous thromboembolism (VTE). We hypothesized that primary thromboprophylaxis in patients with testicular germ cell tumors (GCT) undergoing cisplatinum-based chemotherapy can reduce the risk of VTE. PATIENTS AND METHODS In this single-center retrospective cohort study, we investigated the increased use of primary thromboprophylaxis between January 2000 and December 2021 at our institution and its effect on the risk of VTE. Patients with GCT undergoing adjuvant or curative cisplatinum-based chemotherapy were included. RESULTS Three hundred forty-six patients with GCT initiating a cisplatinum-based therapy were included in the study, of whom 122 (35%) were treated in the adjuvant and 224 (65%) in the curative setting, respectively. VTE events occurred in 49 (14.2%) patients. In univariable competing risk analysis, a higher clinical tumor stage and large retroperitoneal lymphadenopathy (RPLND >5 cm) were the strongest predictors of an elevated VTE risk (SHR for stage IIC - IIIC: 2.6 (95%CI: 5.0-24.7, P < .001), SHR for RPLN: 2.36 (95%CI: 1.27-4.4, P < .007)). The proportion of patients receiving primary thromboprophylaxis strongly increased over time and reached 100% in CS IIC-III patients from 2019 onwards. After adjusting for tumor stage, primary thromboprophylaxis was associated with a 52% relatively lower risk of VTE (SHR = 0.48, 95% CI: 0.24-0.97; P = .032). CONCLUSION In this retrospective cohort study, we showed that TGCT patients undergoing cisplatinum-based chemotherapy have a lower VTE risk when receiving primary thromboprophylaxis. For the duration of chemotherapy, primary thromboprophylaxis should be considered on a risk-benefit ratio.

Abstract
Cardiotoxicity may present as (pulmonary) hypertension, acute and chronic coronary syndromes, venous thromboembolism, cardiomyopathies/heart failure, arrhythmia, valvular heart disease, peripheral arterial disease, and myocarditis. Many of these disease entities can be diagnosed by established cardiovascular diagnostic pathways. Nuclear medicine, however, has proven promising in the diagnosis of cardiomyopathies/heart failure, and peri- and myocarditis as well as arterial inflammation. This article first outlines the spectrum of cardiotoxic cancer therapies and the potential side effects. This will be complemented by the definition of cardiotoxicity using non-nuclear cardiovascular imaging (echocardiography, CMR) and biomarkers. Available nuclear imaging techniques are then presented and specific suggestions are made for their application and potential role in the diagnosis of cardiotoxicity.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION The time course of reduction in the risk of venous thromboembolism (VTE) in patients who were diagnosed with cancer, treated with anticancer therapy, and in remission is unclear. We hypothesized that the risk of VTE will decrease over time after cancer remission. METHODS We conducted a retrospective analysis using claims data for cancer remission in Japan. Background information of patients who developed VTE after cancer remission was collected, and the VTE incidence rate after cancer remission was analyzed. Subgroup analysis based on VTE history, cancer type, and the presence or absence of surgery during hospitalization was conducted. RESULTS A total of 638,908 patients were eligible for the analysis. VTE occurred in 5533 of 638,908 cases, pulmonary embolism occurred in 779 cases, and deep vein thrombosis occurred in 5084 cases after cancer remission. The mean age of patients who developed VTE was 70.1 ± 12.5 years, and the proportion of men was 47.5%. All comorbidities and medications were higher in the VTE group (P < 0.001) than in the non-VTE group after cancer remission. The incidence of VTE was 2.4% per year in the first 30 days, 1.35% per year in 31-60 days, and gradually decreased to 0.48% per year in 181-360 days, becoming almost constant (annual rate 0.3%) 2 years after cancer remission. CONCLUSION Risk of developing VTE decreased to the same level as that in patients without cancer 2 years after cancer remission. Although the guidelines do not specify the duration of anticoagulant prophylaxis for new onset or recurrent VTE after cancer remission and the appropriate duration of such prophylaxis may vary depending on VTE risk factors, determining the period of high risk of VTE for each patient and preventing VTE is considered important.

Abstract
As cardio-oncology imposed itself as the reference specialty for a comprehensive cardiovascular approach to all patients with cancer, a more specific and careful cardiac evaluation of women entering their journey into cancer care is needed. Gender medicine refers to the study of how sex-based biological and gender-based socioeconomic and cultural differences influence people's health. Gender-related aspects could account for differences in the development, progression, and clinical signs of diseases as well as in the treatment of adverse events. Gender also accounts for major differences in access to healthcare. As for medicine and healthcare in general, gender-related characteristics have gained significance in cardio-oncology and should no longer be neglected in both clinical practice and research. We aimed to review the most relevant cardiovascular issues in women related to the cardio-oncology approach to offer a specific gender-related point of view for clinicians involved in the care process for both cancer and cardiovascular disease.

Abstract
Myocardial protection against ischemia/reperfusion injury (IRI) is mediated by various ligands, activating different cellular signaling cascades. These include classical cytosolic mediators such as cyclic-GMP (c-GMP), various kinases such as Phosphatydilinositol-3- (PI3K), Protein Kinase B (Akt), Mitogen-Activated-Protein- (MAPK) and AMP-activated (AMPK) kinases, transcription factors such as signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 (STAT3) and bioactive molecules such as vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF). Most of the aforementioned signaling molecules constitute targets of anticancer therapy; as they are also involved in carcinogenesis, most of the current anti-neoplastic drugs lead to concomitant weakening or even complete abrogation of myocardial cell tolerance to ischemic or oxidative stress. Furthermore, many anti-neoplastic drugs may directly induce cardiotoxicity via their pharmacological effects, or indirectly via their cardiovascular side effects. The combination of direct drug cardiotoxicity, indirect cardiovascular side effects and neutralization of the cardioprotective defense mechanisms of the heart by prolonged cancer treatment may induce long-term ventricular dysfunction, or even clinically manifested heart failure. We present a narrative review of three therapeutic interventions, namely VEGF, proteasome and Immune Checkpoint inhibitors, having opposing effects on the same intracellular signal cascades thereby affecting the heart. Moreover, we herein comment on the current guidelines for managing cardiotoxicity in the clinical setting and on the role of cardiovascular confounders in cardiotoxicity.

Abstract
Seven styrylquinolines were synthesized in this study. Two of these styrylquinolines are new and were elucidated by spectroscopic analysis. The chemopreventive potential of these compounds was evaluated against SW480 human colon adenocarcinoma cells, its metastatic derivative SW620, and normal cells (HaCaT). According to the results, compounds 3a and 3d showed antiproliferative activity in SW480 and SW620 cells, but their effect seemed to be caused by different mechanisms of action. Compound 3a induced apoptosis independent of ROS production, as evidenced by increased levels of caspase 3, and had an immunomodulatory effect, positively regulating the production of different immunological markers in malignant cell lines. In contrast, compound 3d generated a pro-oxidant response and inhibited the growth of cancer cells, probably by another type of cell death other than apoptosis. Molecular docking studies indicated that the most active compound, 3a, could efficiently bind to the proapoptotic human caspases-3 protein, a result that could provide valuable information on the biochemical mechanism for the in vitro cytotoxic response of this compound in SW620 colon carcinoma cell lines. The obtained results suggest that these compounds have chemopreventive potential against CRC, but more studies should be carried out to elucidate the molecular mechanisms of action of each of them in depth.

Abstract
Many factors contribute to mortality in lung cancer, including the presence of concomitant cardiovascular disease. In the treatment of early stage of lung cancer, the presence of comorbidities and occurence of cardiotoxicity may be prognostic. The effect of cardiotoxicity of radiotherapy and chemoradiotherapy on overall survival has been documented. Acute arterial and venous thromboembolic events seem to correlate with the degree of the histological malignancy, its clinical advancement, and even with optimal cardiac treatment, they may influence the survival time. In the case of high-grade and advanced lung cancer stage especially in an unresectable stadium, the prognosis depends primarily on the factors related to the histopathological and molecular diagnosis. Electrocardiographic and echocardiographic abnormalities may be prognostic factors, as they seem to correlate with the patient's performance status as well as tumor localization and size.

Abstract
Cancer is an increasingly recognized cause for ischemic stroke, with recent acknowledgement of cancer-related stroke as an emerging stroke subtype with unique pathophysiologic mechanisms. In addition, cancer-related stroke may differ from stroke in the general population as cancer patients may not receive guideline-recommended stroke care, and the occurrence of stroke may also preclude patients from receiving optimal cancer treatments. Due to the high degree of morbidity and mortality associated with both conditions, understanding the relationship between stroke and cancer is crucial. In this narrative review, we discuss the association between cancer and stroke, the unique pathophysiologic mechanisms underlying this phenomenon, treatment options including acute reperfusion therapies and secondary prevention strategies, compare outcomes between cancer-related stroke and stroke in the general population, and review new and emerging evidence in this field.

Prognosis of adenoid cystic carcinoma in head and neck region treated with different regimens-A single-centre study. Cancer Med 2022; 12:2368-2377. [PMID: 35933718 PMCID: PMC9939215 DOI: 10.1002/cam4.5065] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/05/2022] [Revised: 06/25/2022] [Accepted: 06/29/2022] [Indexed: 11/06/2022] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND No study has evaluated the impact of regimen on recurrence, metastasis and survival in patients with adenoid cystic carcinoma (ACC). The present study aimed to compare the efficacy of radioactive seed implantation and other regimens in treating ACC, so as to investigate the clinical applicability of radioactive seed implantation and determine the indications for this regimen. METHODS A total of 188 patients with ACC in oromaxillofacial region were allocated to four groups according to the treatment regimen: group 1 was treated with a combination of surgery and 125 I seed therapy, group 2 with a combination of surgery and external radiotherapy, group 3 with surgery, whereas group 4 was untreated. The Kaplan-Meier method was used to assess the survival rates, and the Cox regression analyses were used to identify the associated prognostic factors. RESULTS The overall survival rates of 188 patients and groups 1, 2, 3 and 4 were 85.7%, 75%, 68.2% and 37.5%, respectively. Cox regression analysis revealed that age, T stage, N stage and regimen were independent prognostic factors of survival. Amongst patients with primary ACC, the efficacy of radioactive seed implantation was higher in those with perineural invasion than in those without. CONCLUSION Patient age, T stage, N stage and regimen are independent prognostic factors of survival in patients with ACC. Patients treated with surgery combined with postoperative 125 I seed radiotherapy have a higher overall survival rate, and those with perineural invasion are more suitable for radioactive seed implantation therapy.

Abstract
Cancer-associated venous thromboembolism (VTE) is a leading cause of morbidity and mortality in patients with cancer. Appropriate risk stratification for primary and secondary VTE prevention as well as for risk of early death in acute setting is needed for an adequate treatment. Despite enormous advances have been made in the management of VTE in the last two decades, optimal medical therapy remains a major concern due to still high incidence of both symptomatic and incidental pulmonary embolism (PE), its recurrence, poor survival rate, bleeding risk and multiple drugs interactions. Novel oral anticoagulants (NOACs) simplified the treatment of VTE as compared to low-molecular-weight heparin (LMWH) due to their oral administration, fixed dose regimens and lower cost. However, their prescription requires extra caution, especially in patients with gastrointestinal malignancies. Lastly, data on reperfusion approaches remain confined to case series and subgroups analysis. The aim of this review is to summarize recent knowledge concerning PE in patients with malignancies, focusing on available treatments and decision making.

Abstract
Myocardial dysfunction in patients with cancer is a major cause of morbidity and mortality. Cancer therapy-related cardiotoxicities are an important contributor to the development of cardiomyopathy in this patient population. Furthermore, cardiac AL amyloidosis, cardiac malignancies/metastases, accelerated atherosclerosis, stress cardiomyopathy, systemic and pulmonary hypertension are also linked to the development of myocardial dysfunction. Herein, we summarize current knowledge on the mechanisms of myocardial dysfunction in the setting of cancer and cancer-related therapies. Additionally, we briefly outline key recommendations on the surveillance and management of cancer therapy-related myocardial dysfunction based on the consensus of experts in the field of cardio-oncology.

Abstract
Cell-to-cell communication within the heterogeneous solid tumor environment plays a significant role in the uncontrolled metastasis of cancer. To inhibit the metastasis and growth of cancer cells, various chemically designed and biologically derived nanosized biomaterials have been applied for targeted cancer therapeutics applications. Over the years, bioinspired soft nanovesicles have gained tremendous attention for targeted cancer therapeutics due to their easy binding with tumor microenvironment, natural targeting ability, bio-responsive nature, better biocompatibility, high cargo capacity for multiple therapeutics agents, and long circulation time. These cell-derived nanovesicles guard their loaded cargo molecules from immune clearance and make them site-selective to cancer cells due to their natural binding and delivery abilities. Furthermore, bioinspired soft nanovesicles prevent cell-to-cell communication and secretion of cancer cell markers by delivering the therapeutics agents predominantly. Cell-derived vesicles, namely, exosomes, extracellular vesicles, and so forth have been recognized as versatile carriers for therapeutic biomolecules. However, low product yield, poor reproducibility, and uncontrolled particle size distribution have remained as major challenges of these soft nanovesicles. Furthermore, the surface biomarkers and molecular contents of these vesicles change with respect to the stage of disease and types. Here in this review, we have discussed numerous examples of bioinspired soft vesicles for targeted imaging and cancer therapeutic applications with their advantages and limitations. Importance of bioengineered soft nanovesicles for localized therapies with their clinical relevance has also been addressed in this article. Overall, cell-derived nanovesicles could be considered as clinically relevant platforms for cancer therapeutics. This article is categorized under: Biology-Inspired Nanomaterials > Nucleic Acid-Based Structures Therapeutic Approaches and Drug Discovery > Nanomedicine for Oncologic Disease.

Abstract
Advances in cancer treatments have led to nearly 17 million survivors in the US today. Cardiovascular complications attributed to cancer treatments are the leading cause of morbidity and mortality in cancer survivors. In response, NCI and NHLBI held 2 workshops and issued funding opportunities to strengthen research on cardiotoxicity. A representative portfolio of NIH grants categorizing basic, interventional, and observational projects is presented. Compared with anthracyclines, research on radiation therapy and newer treatments is underrepresented. Multidisciplinary collaborative research that considers the cardiotoxicity stage and optimizes the balance between cardiovascular risk and cancer-treatment benefit might support continued improvements in cancer outcomes.

Abstract
Immunotherapy has gradually emerged as the most promising anticancer therapy. In addition to conventional anti-PD-1/PD-L1 therapy, anti-CTLA-4 therapy, CAR-T therapy, etc., immunotherapy can also be induced by stimulating the maturation of immune cells or inhibiting negative immune cells, regulating the tumor immune microenvironment and cancer vaccines. Lipid nanovesicle drug delivery system includes liposomes, cell membrane vesicles, bacterial outer membrane vesicles, extracellular vesicles and hybrid vesicles. Lipid nanovesicles can be used as functional vesicles for cancer immunotherapy, and can also be used as drug carriers to deliver immunotherapy drugs to the tumor site for cancer immunotherapy. Here, we review recent advances in five kinds of lipid nanovesicles in cancer immunotherapy and assess the clinical application prospects of various lipid nanovesicles, hoping to provide valuable information for clinical translation in the future.

Abstract
Whether used as a single modality or as part of a combined approach, radiation therapy (RT) plays an essential role in the treatment of several head and neck malignancies. Despite the improvement in radiation delivery techniques, normal structures in the vicinity of the target area remain susceptible to a wide range of adverse effects. Given their high incidence, some of these effects are referred to as expected postradiation changes (eg, mucositis, sialadenitis, and edema), while others are considered true complications, meaning they should not be expected and can even represent life-threatening conditions (eg, radionecrosis, fistulas, and radiation-induced neoplasms). Also, according to their timing of onset, these deleterious effects can be divided into four groups: acute (during RT), subacute (within weeks to months), delayed onset (within months to years), and very delayed onset (after several years).The authors provide a comprehensive review of the most important radiation-induced changes related to distinct head and neck sites, focusing on their typical cross-sectional imaging features and correlating them with the time elapsed after treatment. Radiologists should not only be familiar with these imaging findings but also actively seek essential clinical data at the time of interpretation (including knowledge of the RT dose and time, target site, and manifesting symptoms) to better recognize imaging findings, avoid pitfalls and help guide appropriate management. © RSNA, 2022.
