Abstract
INTRODUCTION Excess salt intake is not only an independent risk factor for heart failure, but also one of the most important dietary factors associated with cardiovascular disease worldwide. Metabolic reprogramming in cardiomyocytes is an early event provoking cardiac hypertrophy that leads to subsequent cardiovascular events upon high salt loading. Although SGLT2 inhibitors, such as canagliflozin, displayed impressive cardiovascular health benefits, whether SGLT2 inhibitors protect against cardiac hypertrophy-related metabolic reprogramming upon salt loading remain elusive. OBJECTIVES To investigate whether canagliflozin can improve salt-induced cardiac hypertrophy and the underlying mechanisms. METHODS Dahl salt-sensitive rats developed cardiac hypertrophy by feeding them an 8% high-salt diet, and some rats were treated with canagliflozin. Cardiac function and structure as well as mitochondrial function were examined. Cardiac proteomics, targeted metabolomics and SIRT3 cardiac-specific knockout mice were used to uncover the underlying mechanisms. RESULTS In Dahl salt-sensitive rats, canagliflozin showed a potent therapeutic effect on salt-induced cardiac hypertrophy, accompanied by lowered glucose uptake, reduced accumulation of glycolytic end-products and improved cardiac mitochondrial function, which was associated with the recovery of cardiac expression of SIRT3, a key mitochondrial metabolic regulator. Cardiac-specific knockout of SIRT3 not only exacerbated salt-induced cardiac hypertrophy but also abolished the therapeutic effect of canagliflozin. Mechanistically, high salt intake repressed cardiac SIRT3 expression through a calcium-dependent epigenetic modifications, which could be blocked by canagliflozin by inhibiting SGLT1-mediated calcium uptake. SIRT3 improved myocardial metabolic reprogramming by deacetylating MPC1 in cardiomyocytes exposed to pro-hypertrophic stimuli. Similar to canagliflozin, the SIRT3 activator honokiol also exerted therapeutic effects on cardiac hypertrophy. CONCLUSION Cardiac mitochondrial dysfunction caused by SIRT3 repression is a critical promotional determinant of metabolic pattern switching underlying salt-induced cardiac hypertrophy. Improving SIRT3-mediated mitochondrial function by SGLT2 inhibitors-mediated calcium handling would represent a therapeutic strategy against salt-related cardiovascular events.

Abstract
This comprehensive review delves into the pivotal role of mitochondria in doxorubicin-induced cardiotoxicity, a significant complication limiting the clinical use of this potent anthracycline chemotherapeutic agent. Doxorubicin, while effective against various malignancies, is associated with dose-dependent cardiotoxicity, potentially leading to irreversible cardiac damage. The review meticulously dissects the molecular mechanisms underpinning this cardiotoxicity, particularly focusing on mitochondrial dysfunction, a central player in this adverse effect. Central to the discussion is the concept of mitochondrial quality control, including mitochondrial dynamics (fusion/fission balance) and mitophagy. The review presents evidence linking aberrations in these processes to cardiotoxicity in doxorubicin-treated patients. It elucidates how doxorubicin disrupts mitochondrial dynamics, leading to an imbalance between mitochondrial fission and fusion, and impairs mitophagy, culminating in the accumulation of dysfunctional mitochondria and subsequent cardiac cell damage. Furthermore, the review explores emerging therapeutic strategies targeting mitochondrial dysfunction. It highlights the potential of modulating mitochondrial dynamics and enhancing mitophagy to mitigate doxorubicin-induced cardiac damage. These strategies include pharmacological interventions with mitochondrial fission inhibitors, fusion promoters, and agents that modulate mitophagy. The review underscores the promising results from preclinical studies while advocating for more extensive clinical trials to validate these approaches in human patients. In conclusion, this review offers valuable insights into the intricate relationship between mitochondrial dysfunction and doxorubicin-mediated cardiotoxicity. It underscores the need for continued research into targeted mitochondrial therapies as a means to improve the cardiac safety profile of doxorubicin, thereby enhancing the overall treatment outcomes for cancer patients.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Honokiol, a natural active compound extracted from Chinese herbal medicine, can ameliorate acute lung and kidney injury of sepsis. This study was to explore the effects of honokiol on sepsis-associated cardiac dysfunction and the underlying mechanism. METHODS Septic mice were induced by cecal ligation and puncture (CLP) or lipopolysaccharide (LPS), and septic HL-1 or AC16 cells were induced by LPS. RESULTS Honokiol improved the survival and alleviated cardiac dysfunction in mice with CLP-induced sepsis. Honokiol inhibited the increased interleukin (IL) 1-β, IL-6 and tumour necrosis factor (TNF)-α in the serum and heart of CLP- and LSP-induced septic mice. Honokiol treatment reversed the increased levels of IL1-β, IL-6 and TNF-α in LPS-induced HL-1 cells. Honokiol treatment also decreased the elevated levels of IL1-β, IL-6 and TNF-α in LPS-induced AC16 cells. The increased cardiac apoptosis in CLP- and LPS-induced septic mice was alleviated by honokiol. The enhancement of oxidative stress in the heart of CLP- and LPS-induced septic mice was suppressed after honokiol administration. CONCLUSION These results showed that honokiol could ameliorate sepsis-associated cardiac dysfunction via attenuating inflammation, apoptosis, and oxidative stress. Honokiol is a prospective drug for sepsis-associated heart damage in the future.

THE SCIENCE OF THE TOTAL ENVIRONMENT 2023; 857:159626.

Abstract
Cadmium (Cd) pollution in environment is toxic to birds. This study aimed to assess antagonistic effect of honokiol (HNK) on Cd-induced quail (Coturnix japonica) liver tissue damage and Cd-induced vacuolation in hepatocytes. We found that HNK alleviated Cd-induced liver pathological damage marked by elevated serum liver biochemical indicators, disordered antioxidant levels and trace elements in quails. HNK reduced Cd-induced liver cell apoptosis as assessed by western blotting and TUNEL staining. The ultrastructure of hepatocytes under transmission electron microscope revealed that Cd induced mitochondrial damage in addition to abnormal enlargement and increased vacuolar structure of cells. Mitochondrial damage and vacuolization were reduced in the HNK + Cd group. Cd induced an increase in the levels of endosomal/lysosomal-related genes, while HNK treatment reversed this effect. Finally, we demonstrated that vacuolation in buffalo rat liver 3A (BRL 3A) cells occurred primarily due to Cd-induced oxidative stress damage that reduces mitochondrial ATP content and indirectly led to dysfunction of ATP-dependent lipid kinase PIKfyve complex. In summary, we are the first to report that Cd induces abnormal enlargement of endosome/lysosomes in quail liver cells and HNK alleviated this phenomenon by reducing mitochondrial damage and increasing intracellular ATP level. This study demonstrated the toxic effect of Cd pollution on birds and how HNK mitigated these effect at the cellular level. Overall, more research on Cd pollution and HNK use in animal husbandry is warranted.

Abstract
Chemotherapy drugs have been used for a long time in the treatment of cancer, but serious side effects are caused by the inability of the drug to be solely delivered to the tumor when treating cancer with chemotherapy. Natural products have attracted more and more attention due to the antitumor effect in multiple ways, abundant resources and less side effects. Therefore, the combination of natural active ingredients and chemotherapy drugs may be an effective antitumor strategy, which can inhibit the growth of tumor and multidrug resistance, reduce side effects of chemotherapy drugs. Nano-drug co-delivery system (NDCDS) can play an important role in the combination of natural active ingredients and chemotherapy drugs. This review provides a comprehensive summary of the research status and application prospect of nano-delivery strategies for the combination of natural active ingredients and chemotherapy drugs, aiming to provide a basis for the development of anti-tumor drugs.

Abstract
Doxorubicin (DOX) is an anthracycline chemotherapy drug, which is indispensable in antitumor therapy. However, its subsequent induction of cardiovascular disease (CVD) has become the primary cause of mortality in cancer survivors. Accumulating evidence has demonstrated that cardiac mitochondrial bioenergetics changes have become a significant marker for doxorubicin-induced cardiotoxicity (DIC). Here, we mainly summarize the related mechanisms of DOX-induced cardiac mitochondrial bioenergetics disorders reported in recent years, including mitochondrial substrate metabolism, the mitochondrial respiratory chain, myocardial ATP storage and utilization, and other mechanisms affecting mitochondrial bioenergetics. In addition, intervention for DOX-induced cardiac mitochondrial bioenergetics disorders using chemical drugs and traditional herbal medicine is also summarized, which will provide a comprehensive process to study and develop more appropriate therapeutic strategies for DIC.

Abstract
BACKGROUND & OBJECTIVE Traumatic brain injury is an outcome of the physical or mechanical impact of external forces on the brain. Thus, the silent epidemic has complex pathophysiology affecting the brain along with extracranial or systemic complications in more than one organ system, including the heart, lungs, liver, kidney, gastrointestinal and endocrine system. which is referred to as Multi-Organ Dysfunction Syndrome. It is driven by three interconnected mechanisms such as systemic hyperinflammation, paroxysmal sympathetic hyperactivity, and immunosuppression-induced sepsis. These multifaceted pathologies accelerate the risk of mortality in clinical settings by interfering with the functions of distant organs through hypertension, cardiac arrhythmias, acute lung injury, neurogenic pulmonary edema, reduced gastrointestinal motility, Cushing ulcers, acute liver failure, acute kidney injury, coagulopathy, endocrine dysfunction, and many other impairments. The pharmaceutical treatment approach for this is highly specific in its mode of action and linked to a variety of side effects, including hallucinations, seizures, anaphylaxis, teeth, bone staining, etc. Therefore, alternative natural medicine treatments are widely accepted due to their broad complementary or synergistic effects on the physiological system with minor side effects. CONCLUSION This review is a compilation of the possible mechanisms behind the occurrence of multiorgan dysfunction and reported medicinal plants with organoprotective activity that have not been yet explored against traumatic brain injury and thereby, highlighting the marked possibilities of their effectiveness in the management of multiorgan dysfunction. As a result, we attempted to respond to the hypothesis against the usage of medicinal plants to treat neurodegenerative diseases.

Abstract
Despite advantages of arsenic trioxide (ATO) in oncological practice, its clinical applications have been hampered by severe cardiotoxicity. The general mechanism of ATO-induced cardiotoxicity has been attributed to its damage to mitochondria, resulting in cardiac remodeling. Honokiol (HKL) is a naturally occurring compound derived from Magnolia bark. Previous studies have demonstrated that HKL exerts cardio-protective effects on ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) or chemical-induced cardiotoxicity by counteracting the toxic effects on mitochondria. The present study was conducted to investigate whether HKL pretreatment protects against ATO-induced cardiac oxidative damage and cell death. For the in vitro study, we evaluated the effects of ATO and/or Honokiol on reactive oxygen species (ROS) production and apoptosis induction in primary cultured cardiomyocytes; for the in vivo study, BALB/c mice were administrated with ATO and/or HKL for a period of 4 weeks, myocardial apoptosis, cardiac function, and cardiac remodeling (cardiac hypertrophy and cardiac fibrosis) were assessed at the end of administration. Our results demonstrated Honokiol pretreatment alleviated the ATO-induced boost in ROS concentration and the following apoptosis induction in primary cultured cardiomyocytes. In the mouse model, Honokiol pretreatment ameliorated ATO-induced myocardial apoptosis, cardiac dysfunction, and cardiac remodeling. Collectively, these results indicated that Honokiol provide a protection against ATO-induced cardiotoxicity by reducing mitochondrial damage. In addition, given that Honokiol has shown considerable suppressive effects on leukemia cells, our data also imply that ATO and Honokiol combination may possibly be a superior avenue in leukemia therapy.

Honokiol Provides Cardioprotection from Myocardial Ischemia/Reperfusion Injury (MI/RI) by Inhibiting Mitochondrial Apoptosis via the PI3K/AKT Signaling Pathway. Cardiovasc Ther 2022; 2022:1001692. [PMID: 35414825 PMCID: PMC8977331 DOI: 10.1155/2022/1001692] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/03/2021] [Accepted: 03/10/2022] [Indexed: 11/17/2022] Open
Abstract
Background Myocardial injury refers to a major complication that occurs in myocardial ischemia/reperfusion injury (MI/RI). Honokiol is a well-recognized active compound extracted from the traditional Chinese herb known as Magnolia officinalis and is utilized in treating different vascular diseases. This research is aimed at examining whether Honokiol might alleviate myocardial injury in an MI/RI model. Methods Seventy-eight male C57BL/6 mice were categorized randomly into three cohorts including the Sham operation (Sham) cohort, the MI/RI cohort (Con), and the Honokiol cohort (n = 26 for each cohort). The mice in the Honokiol cohort were treated with Honokiol before MI/RI surgery (0.2 mg/kg/day for 14 days, intraperitoneal), while the mice in the Con cohort were given an intraperitoneal injection with an equivalent volume of vehicle (DMSO) daily in 14 days prior to exposure to MI/RI. After the surgery, creatine kinase- (CK-) MB and cardiac troponin T (cTnT) levels, as well as the infarct area, were measured to assess the degree of myocardial damage. Apoptotic levels were detected using terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase dUTP nick-end labeling (TUNEL) staining. Electron microscopy was utilized to identify mitochondrial damage. Lastly, the expression levels of glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase (GAPDH), cleaved caspase-9, cytochrome C (Cyt-C), B cell lymphoma/leukemia-2 (Bcl-2), B cell lymphoma/leukemia-2 associated X (Bax), AKT, p-AKT, PI3K, and p-PI3K were analyzed utilizing western blotting. Results Honokiol can reduce the MI/RI-induced cTnT and CK-MB levels, apoptosis index, and mitochondrial swelling in cardiomyocytes via activating the PI3K/AKT signaling pathway. Conclusion Honokiol provides cardiac protection from MI/RI by suppressing mitochondrial apoptosis through the PI3K/AKT signaling pathway.

Abstract
Post-myocardial infarction heart failure (post-MI HF) is one of the leading global causes of death, and current prevention and treatment methods still cannot avoid the increasing incidence. Honokiol (HK) has previously been reported to improve myocardial ischemia/reperfusion injury and reverse myocardial hypertrophy by activating Sirt1 and Sirt3. We suspect that HK may also have a therapeutic effect on post-MI HF. In this study, we aimed to investigate the efficacy and mechanism of HK in the treatment of post-MI HF. We found that HK inhibited myocardial reactive oxygen species (ROS) production, reduced myocardial fibrosis, and improved cardiac function in mice after MI. HK also reduced the abnormality of mitochondrial membrane potential (MMP) and apoptosis of cardiomyocytes caused by peroxide in neonatal cardiomyocytes. RNAseq results revealed that HK restored the transcriptome changes to a certain extent and significantly enhanced the expression of mitochondrial inner membrane uncoupling protein isoform 3 (Ucp3), a protein that inhibits the production of mitochondrial ROS, protects cardiomyocytes, and relieves heart failure after myocardial infarction (MI). In cardiomyocytes with impaired Ucp3 expression, HK cannot protect against the damage caused by peroxide. More importantly, in Ucp3 knockout mice, HK did not change the increase in the ROS level and cardiac function damage after MI. Taken together, our results suggest that HK can increase the expression of the cardioprotective protein Ucp3 and maintain MMP, thereby inhibiting the production of ROS after MI and ameliorating heart failure.

Abstract
ETHNOPHARMACOLOGICAL RELEVANCE Magnolia officinalis Cortex (M. officinalis) is a traditional herbal drug widely used in Asian countries. Depending on its multiple biological activities, M. officinalis is used to regulate gastrointestinal (GI) motility, relieve cough and asthma, prevent cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, and treat depression and anxiety. AIM OF THE REVIEW We aimed to review the abundant form of pharmacodynamics activity and potential mechanisms of action of M. officinalis and the characteristics of the internal processes of the main components. The potential mechanisms of local and distance actions of M. officinalis based on GI tract was provided, and it was used to reveal the interconnections between traditional use, phytochemistry, and pharmacology. MATERIALS AND METHODS Published literatures about M. officinalis and its main components were collected from several scientific databases, including PubMed, Elsevier, ScienceDirect, Google Scholar and Web of Science etc. RESULTS: M. officinalis was shown multiple effects including effects on digestive system, respiratory system, central system, which is consistent with traditional applications, as well as some other activities such as cardiovascular system, anticancer, anti-inflammatory and antioxidant effects and so on. The mechanisms of these activities are abundant. Its chief ingredients such as magnolol and honokiol can be metabolized into active metabolites in vivo, which can increase water solubility and bioavailability and exert pharmacological activity in the whole body. In the GI tract, M. officinalis and its main ingredient can regulate GI hormones and substance metabolism, protect the intestinal barrier and affect the gut microbiota (GM). These actions are effective to improve local discomfort and some distal symptoms such as depression, asthma, or metabolic disorders. CONCLUSIONS Although M. officinalis has rich pharmacological effects, the GI tract makes great contributions to it. The GI tract is not only an important place for absorption and metabolism but also a key site to help M. officinalis exert local and distal efficacy. Pharmacodynamical studies on the efficacies of distal tissues based on the contributions of the GI tract hold great potential for understanding the benefits of M. officinalis and providing new ideas for the treatment of important diseases.

Front Oncol 2021; 11:728583. [PMID: 34671554 PMCID: PMC8521150 DOI: 10.3389/fonc.2021.728583] [Citation(s) in RCA: 14] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/21/2021] [Accepted: 09/17/2021] [Indexed: 12/13/2022] Open
Abstract
Background Perineural invasion (PNI) is an important pathologic feature of pancreatic cancer, and the incidence of PNI in pancreatic cancer is 70%-100%. PNI is associated with poor outcome, metastasis, and recurrence in pancreatic cancer patients. There are very few treatments for PNI in pancreatic cancer. Honokiol (HNK) is a natural product that is mainly obtained from Magnolia species and has been indicated to have anticancer activity. HNK also has potent neurotrophic activity and may be effective for suppressing PNI. However, the potential role of HNK in the treatment of PNI in pancreatic cancer has not been elucidated. Methods In our study, pancreatic cancer cells were treated with vehicle or HNK, and the invasion and migration capacities were assessed by wound scratch assays and Transwell assays. A cancer cell-dorsal root ganglion coculture model was established to evaluate the effect of HNK on the PNI of pancreatic cancer. Western blotting was used to detect markers of EMT and neurotrophic factors in pancreatic tissue. Recombinant TGF-β1 was used to activate SMAD2/3 to verify the effect of HNK on SMAD2/3 and neurotrophic factors. The subcutaneous tumor model and the sciatic nerve invasion model, which were established in transgenic engineered mice harboring spontaneous pancreatic cancer, were used to investigate the mechanism by which HNK inhibits EMT and PNI in vivo. Results We found that HNK can inhibit the invasion and migration of pancreatic cancer cells. More importantly, HNK can inhibit the PNI of pancreatic cancer. The HNK-mediated suppression of pancreatic cancer PNI was partially mediated by inhibition of SMAD2/3 phosphorylation. In addition, the inhibitory effect of HNK on PNI can be reversed by activating SMAD2/3. In vivo, we found that HNK can suppress EMT in pancreatic cancer. HNK can also inhibit cancer cell migration along the nerve, reduce the damage to the sciatic nerve caused by tumor cells and protect the function of the sciatic nerve. Conclusion Our results demonstrate that HNK can inhibit the invasion, migration, and PNI of pancreatic cancer by blocking SMAD2/3 phosphorylation, and we conclude that HNK may be a new strategy for suppressing PNI in pancreatic cancer.

Abstract
ATP11p and ATP12p are two nuclear-encoded mitochondrial chaperone proteins required for assembling the F1Fo-ATP synthase F1 sector. ATPAF1 and ATPAF2 are the mammalian homologs of ATP11p and ATP12p. However, the biochemical and physiological relevance of ATPAF1 and ATPAF2 in animal tissues with high energy-dependence remains unclear. To explore the in vivo role of ATP assembly and the effects of ATP synthase deficiency in animals, we have generated knockout (KO) mouse models of these assembly factors using CRISPR/Cas9 technology. While the Atpaf2-KO mice were embryonically lethal, Atpaf1-KO mice grew to adulthood but with smaller body sizes and elevated blood lactate later in life. We specifically investigated how ATPAF1 deficiency may affect ATP synthase biogenesis and mitochondrial respiration in the mouse heart, an organ highly energy-dependent. Western blots and Blue-Native electrophoresis (BN-PAGE) demonstrated a decreased F1 content and ATP synthase dimers in the Atpaf1-KO heart. Mitochondria from ATPAF1-deficient hearts showed ultrastructural abnormalities with condensed degenerated mitochondria, loss of cristae, and impaired respiratory capacity. ATP synthase deficiency also leads to impaired autophagy and mitochondrial dynamic. Consequently, decreased cardiac function was exhibited in adult Atpaf1-KO mice. The results provide strong support that ATPAF1 is essential for ATP synthase assembly and mitochondrial oxidative phosphorylation, thus playing a crucial role in maintaining cardiac structure and function in animals.

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

Abstract
As a potent chemotherapeutic agent, doxorubicin (DOX) is widely used for the treatment of a variety of cancers However, its clinical utility is limited by dose-dependent cardiotoxicity, and pathogenesis has traditionally been attributed to the formation of reactive oxygen species (ROS). Accordingly, the prevention of DOX-induced cardiotoxicity is an indispensable goal to optimize therapeutic regimens and reduce morbidity. Acetylation is an emerging and important epigenetic modification regulated by histone deacetylases (HDACs) and histone acetyltransferases (HATs). Despite extensive studies of the molecular basis and biological functions of acetylation, the application of acetylation as a therapeutic target for cardiotoxicity is in the initial stage, and further studies are required to clarify the complex acetylation network and improve the clinical management of cardiotoxicity. In this review, we summarize the pivotal functions of HDACs and HATs in DOX-induced oxidative stress, the underlying mechanisms, the contributions of noncoding RNAs (ncRNAs) and exercise-mediated deacetylases to cardiotoxicity. Furthermore, we describe research progress related to several important SIRT activators and HDAC inhibitors with potential clinical value for chemotherapy and cardiotoxicity. Collectively, a comprehensive understanding of specific roles and recent developments of acetylation in doxorubicin-induced cardiotoxicity will provide a basis for improved treatment outcomes in cancer and cardiovascular diseases.

Nerolidol Attenuates Oxidative Stress, Inflammation, and Apoptosis by Modulating Nrf2/MAPK Signaling Pathways in Doxorubicin-Induced Acute Cardiotoxicity in Rats. Antioxidants (Basel) 2021; 10:984. [PMID: 34205494 PMCID: PMC8235529 DOI: 10.3390/antiox10060984] [Citation(s) in RCA: 35] [Impact Index Per Article: 11.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/08/2021] [Revised: 05/06/2021] [Accepted: 05/13/2021] [Indexed: 12/21/2022] Open
Abstract
The clinical usage of doxorubicin (DOX), a potent anthracycline antineoplastic drug, is often limited by its cardiotoxic effects. Thus, for improving usage of DOX, the aim of this study was to assess the cardioprotective effects of nerolidol (NERO) in a rat model of DOX-induced acute cardiotoxicity and examine underlying molecular mechanisms that contribute to these effects. To induce acute cardiotoxicity male albino Wistar rats were injected with single dose intraperitoneal DOX (12.5 mg/kg). The rats were treated with NERO (50 mg/kg, orally) for five days. DOX-injected rats showed elevated levels of cardiac marker enzymes and enhanced oxidative stress markers along with altered Nrf2/Keap1/HO-1 signaling pathways. DOX administration also induced the activation of NF-κB/MAPK signaling and increased the levels and expression of pro-inflammatory cytokines (TNF-α, IL-6, and IL-1β) as well as expression of inflammatory mediators (iNOS and COX-2) in the heart. DOX also triggered DNA damage and apoptotic cell death in the myocardium. Additionally, histological studies revealed structural alterations of the myocardium. NERO treatment exhibited protection against the deleterious results of DOX on myocardium, as evidenced by the restoration of altered biochemical parameters, mitigated oxidative stress, inflammation, and apoptosis. The findings of the present study demonstrate that NERO provides cardioprotective effects against DOX-induced acute cardiotoxicity attributed to its potent antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and antiapoptotic activities through modulating cellular signaling pathways.

Abstract
Homeostasis in the level of reactive oxygen species (ROS) in cardiac myocytes plays a critical role in regulating their physiological functions. Disturbance of balance between generation and removal of ROS is a major cause of cardiac myocyte remodeling, dysfunction, and failure. Cardiac myocytes possess several ROS-producing pathways, such as mitochondrial electron transport chain, NADPH oxidases, and nitric oxide synthases, and have endogenous antioxidation mechanisms. Cardiac Ca2+-signaling toolkit proteins, as well as mitochondrial functions, are largely modulated by ROS under physiological and pathological conditions, thereby producing alterations in contraction, membrane conductivity, cell metabolism and cell growth and death. Mechanical stresses under hypertension, post-myocardial infarction, heart failure, and valve diseases are the main causes for stress-induced cardiac remodeling and functional failure, which are associated with ROS-induced pathogenesis. Experimental evidence demonstrates that many cardioprotective natural antioxidants, enriched in foods or herbs, exert beneficial effects on cardiac functions (Ca2+ signal, contractility and rhythm), myocytes remodeling, inflammation and death in pathological hearts. The review may provide knowledge and insight into the modulation of cardiac pathogenesis by ROS and natural antioxidants.

Abstract
Doxorubicin increases endothelial permeability, hence increasing cardiomyocytes’ exposure to doxorubicin (DOX) and exposing myocytes to more immediate damage. Reactive oxygen species are major effector molecules of doxorubicin’s activity. Mangiferin (MGN) is a xanthone derivative that consists of C-glucosylxanthone with additional antioxidant properties. This particular study assessed the effects of MGN on DOX-induced cytotoxicity in human umbilical vein endothelial cells’ (HUVECs’) signaling networks. Mechanistically, MGN dramatically elevated Nrf2 expression at both the messenger RNA and protein levels through the upregulation of the PI3K/AKT pathway, leading to an increase in Nrf2-downstream genes. Cell apoptosis was assessed with a caspase-3 activity assay, transferase-mediated dUTP-fluorescein nick end labeling (TUNEL) staining was performed to assess DNA fragmentation, and protein expression was determined by Western blot analysis. DOX markedly increased the generation of reactive oxygen species, PARP, caspase-3, and TUNEL-positive cell numbers, but reduced the expression of Bcl-2 and antioxidants’ intracellular concentrations. These were effectively antagonized with MGN (20 μM), which led to HUVECs being protected against DOX-induced apoptosis, partly through the PI3K/AKT-mediated NRF2/HO-1 signaling pathway, which could theoretically protect the vessels from severe DOX toxicity.

Protection against Doxorubicin-Induced Cardiotoxicity through Modulating iNOS/ARG 2 Balance by Electroacupuncture at PC6. OXIDATIVE MEDICINE AND CELLULAR LONGEVITY 2021; 2021:6628957.

Abstract
Background Doxorubicin (DOX) is a commonly used chemotherapeutic drug but is limited in clinical applications by its cardiotoxicity. Neiguan acupoint (PC6) is a well-recognized acupoint for the treatment of cardiothoracic disease. However, whether acupuncture at PC6 could be effective in preventing DOX-induced cardiotoxicity is still unknown. Methods A set of experiments were performed with myocardial cells, wild type, inducible nitric oxide synthase knockout (iNOS-/-), and myocardial-specific ablation arginase 2 (Myh6-ARG 2-/-) mice. We investigated the protective effect and the underlying mechanisms for electroacupuncture (EA) against DOX-induced cardiotoxicity by echocardiography, immunostaining, biochemical analysis, and molecular biotechnology in vivo and in vitro analysis. Results We found that DOX-mediated nitric oxide (NO) production was positively correlated with the iNOS level but has a negative correlation with the arginase 2 (ARG 2) level in both myocardial cells and tissues. Meanwhile, EA at PC6 alleviated cardiac dysfunction and cardiac hypertrophy in DOX-treated mice. EA at PC6 blocked the upregulation of NO production in accompanied with the downregulated iNOS and upregulated ARG 2 levels in myocardial tissue induced by DOX. Furthermore, knockout iNOS prevented cardiotoxicity and EA treatment did not cause the further improvement of cardiac function in iNOS-/- mice treated by DOX. In contrast, deficiency of myocardial ARG 2 aggravated DOX-induced cardiotoxicity and reduced EA protective effect. Conclusion These results suggest that EA treatment at PC6 can prevent DOX-induced cardiotoxicity through modulating NO production by modulating the iNOS/ARG 2 balance in myocardial cells.

Abstract
Because of limitation of doxorubicin (DOX) clinical application in chemotherapy due to its cardiotoxicity, finding new strategies to reduce DOX challenge and improve patients' outcomes is crucial. Due to positive cardiovascular impacts of troxerutin (TXR), here we have investigated the effect of TXR on DOX-induced cardiotoxicity by evaluating the myocardial oxidative stress and expression of genes regulating mitochondrial biogenesis. Male Wistar rats (250-300 g) were randomly allocated into four groups: control, TXR, DOX, and TXR + DOX. Troxerutin (150 mg/kg) was orally administrated once a day through a gavage tube for 4 weeks before DOX challenge. The TXR-treated and time-matched control rats received intraperitoneal injection of DOX (20 mg/kg). Three days after DOX challenge, the left ventricular samples were obtained to determine the expression of genes regulating mitochondrial biogenesis via real-time PCR. Myocardial creatine kinase (CK-mB), oxidative stress markers, and mitochondrial function (generation of reactive oxygen species or ROS and ATP levels) were also evaluated using commercial kits and spectrophotometric and fluorometric methods. DOX administration significantly increased the levels of CK-mB, malondialdehyde (MDA), and mitochondrial ROS levels, while reduced the cellular ATP production and expression levels of SIRT-1, PGC-1α, and NRF-2 as well as superoxide dismutase, glutathione peroxidase, and catalase activity in comparison to control group (P < 0.05 to P < 0.01). Pretreatment of DOX-received rats with TXR significantly upregulated the expression of all biogenesis genes and antioxidant enzymes with non-significant effect on catalase activity, and significantly reduced CK-mB and MDA levels toward control values (P < 0.05 to P < 0.01). Mitochondrial ROS and ATP levels were also restored significantly by pretreatment with TXR (P < 0.05). The data suggested that preconditioning of rats with TXR had protective effect on DOX-induced cardiotoxicity through inducing antioxidative properties and restoring the mitochondrial function and the expression profiles of myocardial SIRT-1/PGC-1α/NRF-2 network.

Abstract
Anthracyclines is an effective chemotherapeutic treatment used for many types of cancer. However, high cumulative dosage of anthracyclines leads to cardiac toxicity and heart failure. Dysregulation of mitochondrial dynamics and function are major pathways driving this toxicity. Several pharmacological and non‐pharmacological interventions aiming to attenuate cardiac toxicity by targeting mitochondrial dynamics and function have shown beneficial effects in cell and animal models. However, in clinical practice, there is currently no standard therapy for the prevention of anthracycline‐induced cardiotoxicity. This review summarizes current reports on the impact of anthracyclines on cardiac mitochondrial dynamics and mitochondrial function and potential interventions targeting these pathways. The roles of mitochondrial dynamics and mitochondrial function in the development of anthracycline‐induced cardiotoxicity should provide insights in devising novel strategies to attenuate the cardiac toxicity induced by anthracyclines.

Abstract
Cardiovascular diseases comprise of non-communicable disorders that involve the heart and/or blood vessels and have become the leading cause of death worldwide with increased prevalence by age. mTOR is a serine/threonine-specific protein kinase which plays a central role in many physiological processes including cardiovascular diseases, and also integrates various proliferative signals, nutrient and energy abundance and stressful situations. mTOR also acts as central regulator during chronic stress, mitochondrial dysfunction and deregulated autophagy which are associated with senescence. Under oxidative stress, mTOR has been reported to exert protective effects regulating apoptosis and autophagy processes and favoring tissue repair. On the other hand, inhibition of mTOR has been suggested to have beneficial effects against atherosclerosis, cardiac hypertrophy and heart failure, and also in extending the lifespan. In this aspect, the use of drugs or natural compounds, which can target mTOR is an interesting approach in order to reduce the number of deaths caused by cardiovascular disease. In the present review, we intend to shed light on the possible effects and molecular mechanism of natural agents like polyphenols via regulating mTOR.

Ong CP, Lee WL, Tang YQ, Yap WH. Honokiol: A Review of Its Anticancer Potential and Mechanisms. Cancers (Basel) 2019; 12:E48.

Abstract
Cancer is characterised by uncontrolled cell division and abnormal cell growth, which is largely caused by a variety of gene mutations. There are continuous efforts being made to develop effective cancer treatments as resistance to current anticancer drugs has been on the rise. Natural products represent a promising source in the search for anticancer treatments as they possess unique chemical structures and combinations of compounds that may be effective against cancer with a minimal toxicity profile or few side effects compared to standard anticancer therapy. Extensive research on natural products has shown that bioactive natural compounds target multiple cellular processes and pathways involved in cancer progression. In this review, we discuss honokiol, a plant bioactive compound that originates mainly from the Magnolia species. Various studies have proven that honokiol exerts broad-range anticancer activity in vitro and in vivo by regulating numerous signalling pathways. These include induction of G0/G1 and G2/M cell cycle arrest (via the regulation of cyclin-dependent kinase (CDK) and cyclin proteins), epithelial-mesenchymal transition inhibition via the downregulation of mesenchymal markers and upregulation of epithelial markers. Additionally, honokiol possesses the capability to supress cell migration and invasion via the downregulation of several matrix-metalloproteinases (activation of 5' AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) and KISS1/KISS1R signalling), inhibiting cell migration, invasion, and metastasis, as well as inducing anti-angiogenesis activity (via the down-regulation of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGFR) and vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF)). Combining these studies provides significant insights for the potential of honokiol to be a promising candidate natural compound for chemoprevention and treatment.

Teaching the basics of the mechanism of doxorubicin-induced cardiotoxicity: Have we been barking up the wrong tree? Redox Biol 2019; 29:101394. [PMID: 31790851 PMCID: PMC6909145 DOI: 10.1016/j.redox.2019.101394] [Citation(s) in RCA: 186] [Impact Index Per Article: 37.2] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/15/2019] [Revised: 11/19/2019] [Accepted: 11/23/2019] [Indexed: 02/08/2023] Open
Abstract
Doxorubicin (DOX), or Adriamycin, an anthracycline antibiotic discovered serendipitously as a chemotherapeutic drug several decades ago, is still one of the most effective drugs for treating various adult and pediatric cancers (breast cancer, Hodgkin's disease, lymphoblastic leukemia). However, one of the major side effects of the continuous use of DOX is dose-dependent, long-term, and potentially lethal cardiovascular toxicity (congestive heart failure and cardiomyopathy) in cancer survivors many years after cessation of chemotherapy. In addition, predisposition to cardiotoxicity varied considerably among individuals. The long-held notion that DOX cardiotoxicity is caused by reactive oxygen species formed from the redox-cycling of DOX semiquinone lacks rigorous proof in a chronic animal model, and administration of reactive oxygen species detoxifying agents failed to reverse DOX-induced cardiac problems. In this review, I discuss the pros and cons of the reactive oxygen species pathway as a primary or secondary mechanism of DOX cardiotoxicity, the role of topoisomerases, and the potential use of mitochondrial-biogenesis-enhancing compounds in reversing DOX-induced cardiomyopathy. New approaches for well-designed clinical trials that repurpose FDA-approved drugs and naturally occurring polyphenolic compounds prophylactically to prevent or mitigate cardiovascular complications in both pediatric and adult cancer survivors are needed. Essentially, the focus should be on enhancing mitochondrial biogenesis to prevent or mitigate DOX-induced cardiotoxicity.

Int J Mol Med 2019; 45:186-194. [PMID: 31746354 PMCID: PMC6889937 DOI: 10.3892/ijmm.2019.4393] [Citation(s) in RCA: 7] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.4] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/25/2019] [Accepted: 10/09/2019] [Indexed: 02/07/2023] Open
Abstract
Senescence of cardiomyocytes is considered a key factor for the occurrence of doxorubicin (Dox)‑associated cardiomyopathy. The NOD‑like receptor family pyrin domain‑containing 3 (NLRP3) inflammasome is reported to be involved in the process of cellular senescence. Furthermore, thioredoxin‑interactive protein (TXNIP) is required for NLRP3 inflammasome activation and is considered to be a key component in the regulation of the pathogenesis of senescence. Studies have demonstrated that pretreatment with honokiol (Hnk) can alleviate Dox‑induced cardiotoxicity. However, the impact of Hnk on cardiomyocyte senescence elicited by Dox and the underlying mechanisms remain unclear. The present study demonstrated that Hnk was able to prevent Dox‑induced senescence of H9c2 cardiomyocytes, indicated by decreased senescence‑associated β‑galactosidase (SA‑β‑gal) staining, as well as decreased expression of p16INK4A and p21. Hnk also inhibited TXNIP expression and NLRP3 inflammasome activation in Dox‑stimulated H9c2 cardiomyocytes. When TXNIP expression was enforced by adenovirus‑mediated gene overexpression, the NLRP3 inflammasome was activated, which led to inhibition of the anti‑inflammation and anti‑senescence effects of Hnk on H9c2 cardiomyocytes under Dox treatment. Furthermore, adenovirus‑mediated TXNIP‑silencing inhibited the NLRP3 inflammasome. Consistently, TXNIP knockdown enhanced the anti‑inflammation and anti‑senescence effects of Hnk on H9c2 cardiomyocytes under Dox stimulation. In summary, Hnk was found to be effective in protecting cardiomyocytes against Dox‑stimulated senescence. This protective effect was mediated via the inhibition of TXNIP expression and the subsequent suppression of the NLRP3 inflammasome. These results demonstrated that Hnk may be of value as a cardioprotective drug by inhibiting cardiomyocyte senescence.

Ameliorative effect of rosiglitazone, a peroxisome proliferator gamma agonist on adriamycin-induced cardio toxicity via suppressing oxidative stress and apoptosis. IUBMB Life 2019; 72:607-615.

Abstract
We investigated the rosiglitazone (RSG) effect on adriamycin (ADM)-induced cardio toxicity in experimental animals. Forty adult Wistar male rats were separated into four groups as follows: normal control; RSG (10 mg/kg)-treated; ADM (10 mg/kg)-administered; and ADM (10 mg/kg) + RSG (10 mg/kg)-treated. Serum lipid level, different biochemical biomarkers, histological analysis, and nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor/heme oxygenase-1 (Nrf2/HO-1), Caspase 3, B-cell lymphoma 2 (Bcl-2), and Bax gene expression were assessed in serum and cardiac tissue samples. Our results show that RSG treatment in ADM-administered animals significantly diminished low-density lipoprotein cholesterol, triglyceride, and total cholesterol, and increases high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-c) in comparison with the ADM group. RSG treatment reduced the effect of ADM administration on cardiac dysfunction markers such as cardiac troponin T Creatine Kinase-MB, aspartate aminotransferase, and lactate dehydrogenase, showing the amelioration of cardio toxicity in ADM-administered rats. Additionally, RSG treatment significantly decreased the level of malondialdehyde and nitric oxide in cardiovascular tissue. RSG-treated rats in combination with ADM likewise showed a significant increase in reduced glutathione, superoxide dismutase, catalase content, and the activity of glutathione peroxidase (GPx) as compared with ADM group. Moreover, RSG treatment in ADM rats significantly increased an Nrf2 and HO-1 expression in comparison with ADM group. While in apoptosis parameters, RSG treatment in ADM rats significantly diminished a cleaved caspase-3 and Bax expression as well as expanded Bcl-2 expression when contrasted with ADM group of rats. In conclusion, RSG is capable of protecting heart toxicity in ADM-treated animals through defensive effects on oxidative stress and biochemical markers.

Abstract
The current age of dynamic development of the space industry brings the mankind closer to routine manned space flights and space tourism. This progress leads to a demand for intensive astrobiological research aimed at improving strategies of the pharmacological protection of the human cells against extreme conditions. Although routine research in space remains out of our reach, it is worth noticing that the unique severe environment of the Earth's stratosphere has been found to mimic subcosmic conditions, giving rise to the opportunity to use the stratospheric surface as a research model for the astrobiological studies. Our study included launching into the stratosphere a balloon containing mammalian normal and cancer cells treated with various compounds to examine whether these substances are capable of protecting the cells against stress caused by rapidly varying temperature, pressure, and radiation, especially UV. Owing to oxidative stress caused by irradiation and temperature shock, we used natural compounds which display antioxidant properties, namely, catechin isolated from green tea, honokiol derived from magnolia, curcumin from turmeric, and cinnamon extract. "After-flight" laboratory tests have shown the most active antioxidants as potential agents which can minimize harmful impact of extreme conditions on human cells.

Abstract
Oxidative stress and cardiomyocyte apoptosis play critical roles in the development of doxorubicin- (DOX-) induced cardiotoxicity. Our previous study found that geniposide (GE) could inhibit cardiac oxidative stress and apoptosis of cardiomyocytes but its role in DOX-induced heart injury remains unknown. Our study is aimed at investigating whether GE could protect against DOX-induced heart injury. The mice were subjected to a single intraperitoneal injection of DOX (15 mg/kg) to induce cardiomyopathy model. To explore the protective effects, GE was orally given for 10 days. The morphological examination and biochemical analysis were used to evaluate the effects of GE. H9C2 cells were used to verify the protective role of GE in vitro. GE treatment alleviated heart dysfunction and attenuated cardiac oxidative stress and cell loss induced by DOX in vivo and in vitro. GE could activate AMP-activated protein kinase α (AMPKα) in vivo and in vitro. Moreover, inhibition of AMPKα could abolish the protective effects of GE against DOX-induced oxidative stress and apoptosis. GE could protect against DOX-induced heart injury via activation of AMPKα. GE has therapeutic potential for the treatment of DOX cardiotoxicity.

Abstract
Although 4-O-Methylhonokiol (MH) effects on neuronal and immune cells have been established, it is still unclear whether MH can cause a change in the structure and function of the cardiovascular system. The overarching goal of this study was to evaluate the effects of MH, isolated from Magnolia grandiflora, on the development of the heart and vasculature in a Japanese medaka model in vivo to predict human health risks. We analyzed the toxicity of MH in different life-stages of medaka embryos. MH uptake into medaka embryos was quantified. The LC50 of two different exposure windows (stages 9–36 (0–6 days post fertilization (dpf)) and 25–36 (2–6 dpf)) were 5.3 ± 0.1 μM and 9.9 ± 0.2 μM. Survival, deformities, days to hatch, and larval locomotor response were quantified. Wnt 1 was overexpressed in MH-treated embryos indicating deregulation of the Wnt signaling pathway, which was associated with spinal and cardiac ventricle deformities. Overexpression of major proinflammatory mediators and biomarkers of the heart were detected. Our results indicated that the differential sensitivity of MH in the embryos was developmental stage-specific. Furthermore, this study demonstrated that certain molecules can serve as promising markers at the transcriptional and phenotypical levels, responding to absorption of MH in the developing embryo.

Abstract
Brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF)/tropomyosin-related receptor kinase B (TrkB) pathway has been revealed as a novel therapeutic target for several neurological diseases. Recently, small-molecule TrkB agonist 7,8-dihydroxyflavone (7,8-DHF) has received considerable attention as a novel potential candidate for the treatment of various BDNF-implicated human disorders. However, its roles in cardiac diseases are not fully understood. Here, the present study aimed to clarify the effects and mechanisms of 7,8-DHF on doxorubicin (Dox)-induced cardiotoxicity. Kunming mice and H9c2 cells were employed to investigate the functional role of 7,8-DHF both in vivo and in vitro. 7,8-DHF markedly increased cell viability and reduced cell death of Dox-treated cells. Meanwhile, 7,8-DHF significantly increased mitochondrial respiration, membrane potential, and optic atrophy 1 (OPA1) protein expression. 7,8-DHF improved cardiac function and attenuated cardiac injury in Dox mice model. Expression of AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) and signal transducers and activators of transcription 3 (STAT3) was restored by 7,8-DHF. Furthermore, the protective role of 7,8-DHF was abolished by ANA-12 (a specific antagonist of TrkB). In elucidating the molecular mechanism, the phosphorylation of Akt was significantly increased while extracellular regulated protein kinase (ERK) was decreased after 7,8-DHF treatment. The regulatory effects of 7,8-DHF on STAT3 and AMPK was reversed by Akt inhibitor. In summary, 7,8-DHF attenuated Dox-induced cardiotoxicity by activating Akt and increasing mitochondrial oxidative phosphorylation and thereby regulating STAT3, AMPK, and ERK signals. The present study enhanced current understanding of TrkB receptor in the cardiovascular system and provided a novel target for prevention and treatment of heart diseases.

Abstract
Myocardial diseases are prevalent syndromes with high mortality rate. The exploration of effective interference is important. Anti-β1-adrenergic receptor autoantibody (β1-AAB) is highly correlated with myocardial dysfunction. The actions and underlying mechanisms of honokiol (HNK) in β1-AAB-positive patients await to be unraveled. In this study, we established a rat model of β1-AAB positive with myocardial dysfunction. Cardiac function following β1-AR-ECII administration was analyzed using the VisualSonics Vevo 770 High-Resolution In Vivo Imaging System. The levels of autophagy-related proteins were detected by Western blotting. Our data revealed that HNK reversed β1-AAB-induced effects and protected myocardial tissues from dysfunction. After HNK treatment, the cardiac contractile ability increased and the LDH activity decreased. HNK attenuated myocardial degeneration. In addition, HNK promoted the activation of the AMP-dependent protein kinase/Unc-51-like autophagy activating kinase (AMPK/ULK) pathway and activated autophagy. These results suggest that HNK protects against β1-AAB-induced myocardial dysfunction via activation of autophagy and it may be a potentially therapeutic compound for β1-AAB-positive myocardial diseases.

Abstract
Doxorubicin (Dox) is a chemotherapeutic agent widely used for the treatment of numerous cancers. However, the clinical use of Dox is limited by its unwanted cardiotoxicity. Mitochondrial dysfunction has been associated with Dox-induced cardiotoxicity. To mitigate Dox-related cardiotoxicity, considerable successful examples of a variety of small molecules that target mitochondria to modulate Dox-induced cardiotoxicity have appeared in recent years. Here, we review the related literatures and discuss the evidence showing that mitochondria-targeting small molecules are promising cardioprotective agents against Dox-induced cardiac events.
