Rationale and design of RESILIENCE: A prospective randomized clinical trial evaluating remote ischaemic conditioning for the prevention of anthracycline cardiotoxicity. Eur J Heart Fail 2024. [PMID: 39212445 DOI: 10.1002/ejhf.3395] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/02/2024] [Revised: 07/01/2024] [Accepted: 07/09/2024] [Indexed: 09/04/2024] Open
Abstract
AIMS There is a lack of therapies able to prevent anthracycline cardiotoxicity (AC). Remote ischaemic conditioning (RIC) has shown beneficial effects in preclinical models of AC. METHODS REmote iSchemic condItioning in Lymphoma PatIents REceiving ANthraCyclinEs (RESILIENCE) is a multinational, prospective, phase II, double-blind, sham-controlled, randomized clinical trial that evaluates the efficacy and safety of RIC in lymphoma patients receiving anthracyclines. Patients scheduled to undergo ≥5 chemotherapy cycles including anthracyclines and with ≥1 AC-associated risk factors will be randomized to weekly RIC or sham throughout the chemotherapy period. Patients will undergo three multiparametric cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) studies, at baseline, after the third cycle (intermediate CMR), and 2 months after the end of chemotherapy. Thereafter, patients will be followed up for clinical events over an anticipated median of ≥24 months. The primary endpoint is the absolute change from baseline in CMR-based left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF). The main secondary outcome is the incidence of AC events, defined as (1) a drop in CMR-based LVEF of ≥10 absolute points, or (2) a drop in CMR-based LVEF of ≥5 and <10 absolute points to a value <50%. Intermediate CMR will test the ability of T2 mapping to predict AC versus classical markers (left ventricular strain and cardiac injury biomarkers). A novel CMR sequence allowing ultrafast cine acquisition will be validated in this vulnerable population. CONCLUSIONS The RESILIENCE trial will test RIC (a novel non-invasive intervention to prevent AC) in a cohort of high-risk patients. The trial will also test candidate markers for their capacity to predict AC and will validate a novel CMR sequence reducing acquisition time in a vulnerable population.

Abstract
Defined as scarce expression of hormone receptors and human epidermal growth factor receptor 2, triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) is labeled as the most heterogeneous subtype of breast cancer with poorest prognosis. Despite rapid advancements in precise subtyping and tailored therapeutics, the ensuing cancer therapy-related cardiovascular toxicity (CTR-CVT) could exert detrimental impacts to TNBC survivors. Nowadays, this interdisciplinary issue is incrementally concerned by cardiologists, oncologists and other pertinent experts, propelling cardio-oncology as a booming field focusing on the whole-course management of cancer patients with potential cardiovascular threats. Here in this review, we initially profile the evolving molecular subtyping and therapeutic landscape of TNBC. Further, we introduce various monitoring approaches of CTR-CVT. In the main body, we elaborate on typical cardiotoxicities ensuing anti-TNBC treatments in detail, ranging from chemotherapy (especially anthracyclines), surgery, anesthetics, radiotherapy to immunotherapy, with future perspectives on promising directions in the era of artificial intelligence and traditional Chinese medicine.

Abstract
Anthracyclines are chemotherapeutic drugs used to treat solid and hematologic malignancies. However, life-threatening cardiotoxicity, with cardiac dilation and heart failure, is a drawback. A combination of in vivo for single cell/nucleus RNA sequencing and in vitro approaches is used to elucidate the underlying mechanism. Genetic depletion and pharmacological blocking peptides on phosphatidylinositol binding clathrin assembly (PICALM) are used to evaluate the role of PICALM in doxorubicin-induced cardiotoxicity in vivo. Human heart tissue samples are used for verification. Patients with end-stage heart failure and chemotherapy-induced cardiotoxicity have thinner cell membranes compared to healthy controls do. Using the doxorubicin-induced cardiotoxicity mice model, it is possible to replicate the corresponding phenotype in patients. Cellular changes in doxorubicin-induced cardiotoxicity in mice, especially in cardiomyocytes, are identified using single cell/nucleus RNA sequencing. Picalm expression is upregulated only in cardiomyocytes with doxorubicin-induced cardiotoxicity. Amyloid β-peptide production is also increased after doxorubicin treatment, which leads to a greater increase in the membrane permeability of cardiomyocytes. Genetic depletion and pharmacological blocking peptides on Picalm reduce the generation of amyloid β-peptide. This alleviates the doxorubicin-induced cardiotoxicity in vitro and in vivo. In human heart tissue samples of patients with chemotherapy-induced cardiotoxicity, PICALM, and amyloid β-peptide are elevated as well.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW To provide an overview of (a) protective effects on mitochondria induced by remote ischemic conditioning (RIC) and (b) mitochondrial damage caused by anticancer therapy. We then discuss the available results of studies on mitochondrial protection via RIC in anticancer therapy-induced cardiotoxicity. RECENT FINDINGS In three experimental studies in healthy mice and pigs, there was a RIC-mediated protection against anthracycline-induced cardiotoxicity and there was some evidence of improved mitochondrial function with RIC. The RIC-mediated protection was not confirmed in the two available studies in cancer patients. In adult cancer patients, RIC was associated with an adverse outcome. There are no data on mitochondrial function in cancer patients. Studies in tumor-bearing animals are needed to determine whether RIC does not interfere with the anticancer properties of the drugs and whether RIC actually improves mitochondrial function, ultimately resulting in improved cardiac function.

Abstract
Neuronal death resulting from ischemic stroke is the primary cause of adult mortality and disability, and effective neuroprotective agents for poststroke intervention are still lacking. Remote ischemic postconditioning (RIPostC) has demonstrated significant protective effects against ischemia in various organs; however, the specific mechanisms are not fully understood. This study investigated the potential neuroprotective mechanisms of RIPostC in the context of ischemic stroke. Using a rat model of middle cerebral artery occlusion, we found that RIPostC mitigated neurological damage, improved movement in the open-field test, and protected against neuronal apoptosis. In terms of energy metabolism, RIPostC enhanced ATP levels, suppressed lactate content, and increased the production of ketone bodies (KBs). In the ferroptosis assay, RIPostC protected against lipoperoxidation, reversed the reduction of glutathione peroxidase 4 (GPX4), and mitigated the excessive expression of long-chain acyl-CoA synthetase family member 4 (ACSL4). In oxygen-glucose deprivation/reoxygenation-treated HT22 cells, KBs maintained GPX4 levels, suppressed ACSL4 expression, and preserved the mitochondrial cristae number. However, the effect of KBs on the expression of GPX4, ACSL4, and the number of mitochondrial cristae was blocked by erastin. Moreover, both RIPostC and KBs reduced total iron and ferrous ion content by repressing iron transporters both in vitro and in vivo. In conclusion, KBs-induced mitigation of ferroptosis could represent a new therapeutic mechanism for RIPostC in treating stroke.

Abstract
Background Anthracycline-induced cardiotoxicity (AIC) debilitates quality of life in cancer survivors. Serial characterizations are lacking of the molecular processes occurring with AIC. Objectives The aim of this study was to characterize AIC progression in a mouse model from early (subclinical) to advanced heart failure stages, with an emphasis on cardiac metabolism and mitochondrial structure and function. Methods CD1 mice received 5 weekly intraperitoneal doxorubicin injections (5 mg/kg) and were followed by serial echocardiography for 15 weeks. At 1, 9, and 15 weeks after the doxorubicin injections, mice underwent fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography, and hearts were extracted for microscopy and molecular analysis. Results Cardiac atrophy was evident at 1 week post-doxorubicin (left ventricular [LV] mass 117 ± 26 mg vs 97 ± 25 mg at baseline and 1 week, respectively; P < 0.001). Cardiac mass nadir was observed at week 3 post-doxorubicin (79 ± 16 mg; P = 0.002 vs baseline), remaining unchanged thereafter. Histology confirmed significantly reduced cardiomyocyte area (167 ± 19 μm2 in doxorubicin-treated mice vs 211 ± 26 μm2 in controls; P = 0.004). LV ejection fraction declined from week 6 post-doxorubicin (49% ± 9% vs 61% ± 9% at baseline; P < 0.001) until the end of follow-up at 15 weeks (43% ± 8%; P < 0.001 vs baseline). At 1 week post-doxorubicin, when LV ejection fraction remained normal, reduced cardiac metabolism was evident from down-regulated markers of fatty acid oxidation and glycolysis. Metabolic impairment continued to the end of follow-up in parallel with reduced mitochondrial adenosine triphosphate production. A transient early up-regulation of nutrient-sensing and mitophagy markers were observed, which was associated with mitochondrial enlargement. Later stages, when mitophagy was exhausted, were characterized by overt mitochondrial fragmentation. Conclusions Cardiac atrophy, global hypometabolism, early transient-enhanced mitophagy, biogenesis, and nutrient sensing constitute candidate targets for AIC prevention.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To describe the potential clinical cardiotoxicity of oncological treatments in a cohort of consecutive patients with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM), systematically followed-up at two national referral centers for HCM. Cardiotoxicity relates to the direct effects of cancer-related treatment on heart function, commonly presenting as left ventricular contractile dysfunction. However, limited data are available regarding cardiotoxic effects on HCM as most studies have not specifically analyzed the effects of oncological treatment in HCM populations. This gap in knowledge may lead to unjustified restriction of HCM patients from receiving curative cancer treatments. METHODS We retrospectively analyzed clinical and instrumental data of all consecutive HCM patients who underwent oncological treatment between January 2000 and December 2020 collected in a centralized database. RESULTS Of 3256 HCM patients, 121 (3.7%) had cancer; 110 (90.9%) underwent oncological surgery, 45 (37.2%) received chemotherapy, and 22 (18.2%) received chest radiation therapy (cRT). After a median follow-up of 5.2 years (Q1-Q3: 2-13 years) from oncological diagnosis, 32 patients died. The cumulative survival at 5 years was 79.9%. The cause of death was mainly attributed to the oncological condition, whereas four patients died of sudden cardiac death without receiving previous chemotherapy or cRT. No patient interrupted or reduced the dose of oncological treatment due to cardiac dysfunction. No sustained ventricular tachyarrhythmia was induced by chemotherapy or radiation therapy. CONCLUSION Cancer treatment was well tolerated in HCM patients. In our consecutive series, none died of cardiovascular complications induced by chemotherapy or cRT and they did not require interruption or substantial treatment tapering due to cardiovascular toxic effects. Although a multidisciplinary evaluation is necessary and regimens must be tailored individually, the diagnosis of HCM per se should not be considered a contraindication to receive optimal curative cancer treatment.

Emodin ameliorates doxorubicin-induced cardiotoxicity by inhibiting ferroptosis through the remodeling of gut microbiota composition. Am J Physiol Cell Physiol 2024; 326:C161-C176. [PMID: 38009195 DOI: 10.1152/ajpcell.00477.2023] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/22/2023] [Revised: 11/06/2023] [Accepted: 11/20/2023] [Indexed: 11/28/2023]
Abstract
The relationship between gut microbiota and doxorubicin-induced cardiotoxicity (DIC) is becoming increasingly clear. Emodin (EMO), a naturally occurring anthraquinone, exerts cardioprotective effects and plays a protective role by regulating gut microbiota composition. Therefore, the protective effect of EMO against DIC injury and its underlying mechanisms are worth investigating. In this study, we analyzed the differences in the gut microbiota in recipient mice transplanted with different flora using 16S-rDNA sequencing, analyzed the differences in serum metabolites among groups of mice using a nontargeted gas chromatography-mass spectrometry coupling system, and assessed cardiac function based on cardiac morphological staining, cardiac injury markers, and ferroptosis indicator assays. We found EMO ameliorated DIC and ferroptosis, as evidenced by decreased myocardial fibrosis, cardiomyocyte hypertrophy, and myocardial disorganization; improved ferroptosis indicators; and the maintenance of normal mitochondrial morphology. The protective effect of EMO was eliminated by the scavenging effect of antibiotics on the gut microbiota. Through fecal microbiota transplantation (FMT), we found that EMO restored the gut microbiota disrupted by doxorubicin (DOX) to near-normal levels. This was evidenced by an increased proportion of Bacteroidota and a decreased proportion of Verrucomicrobiota. FMT resulted in changes in the composition of serum metabolites. Mice transplanted with EMO-improved gut microbiota showed better cardiac function and ferroptosis indices; however, these beneficial effects were not observed in Nrf2 (Nfe2l2)-/- mice. Overall, EMO exerted a protective effect against DIC by attenuating ferroptosis, and the above effects occurred by remodeling the composition of gut microbiota perturbed by DOX and required Nrf2 mediation.NEW & NOTEWORTHY This study demonstrated for the first time the protective effect of emodin against DIC and verified by FMT that its cardioprotective effect was achieved by remodeling gut microbiota composition, resulting in attenuation of ferroptosis. Furthermore, we demonstrated that these effects were mediated by the redox-related gene Nrf2.

Abstract
Despite improvements in cancer survival, cancer therapy-related cardiovascular toxicity has risen to become a prominent clinical challenge. This has led to the growth of the burgeoning field of cardio-oncology, which aims to advance the cardiovascular health of cancer patients and survivors, through actionable and translatable science. In these Global Cardio-Oncology Symposium 2023 scientific symposium proceedings, we present a focused review on the mechanisms that contribute to common cardiovascular toxicities discussed at this meeting, the ongoing international collaborative efforts to improve patient outcomes, and the bidirectional challenges of translating basic research to clinical care. We acknowledge that there are many additional therapies that are of significance but were not topics of discussion at this symposium. We hope that through this symposium-based review we can highlight the knowledge gaps and clinical priorities to inform the design of future studies that aim to prevent and mitigate cardiovascular disease in cancer patients and survivors.

Health position paper and redox perspectives on reactive oxygen species as signals and targets of cardioprotection. Redox Biol 2023; 67:102894. [PMID: 37839355 PMCID: PMC10590874 DOI: 10.1016/j.redox.2023.102894] [Citation(s) in RCA: 24] [Impact Index Per Article: 24.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/20/2023] [Revised: 09/04/2023] [Accepted: 09/15/2023] [Indexed: 10/17/2023] Open
Abstract
The present review summarizes the beneficial and detrimental roles of reactive oxygen species in myocardial ischemia/reperfusion injury and cardioprotection. In the first part, the continued need for cardioprotection beyond that by rapid reperfusion of acute myocardial infarction is emphasized. Then, pathomechanisms of myocardial ischemia/reperfusion to the myocardium and the coronary circulation and the different modes of cell death in myocardial infarction are characterized. Different mechanical and pharmacological interventions to protect the ischemic/reperfused myocardium in elective percutaneous coronary interventions and coronary artery bypass grafting, in acute myocardial infarction and in cardiotoxicity from cancer therapy are detailed. The second part keeps the focus on ROS providing a comprehensive overview of molecular and cellular mechanisms involved in ischemia/reperfusion injury. Starting from mitochondria as the main sources and targets of ROS in ischemic/reperfused myocardium, a complex network of cellular and extracellular processes is discussed, including relationships with Ca2+ homeostasis, thiol group redox balance, hydrogen sulfide modulation, cross-talk with NAPDH oxidases, exosomes, cytokines and growth factors. While mechanistic insights are needed to improve our current therapeutic approaches, advancements in knowledge of ROS-mediated processes indicate that detrimental facets of oxidative stress are opposed by ROS requirement for physiological and protective reactions. This inevitable contrast is likely to underlie unsuccessful clinical trials and limits the development of novel cardioprotective interventions simply based upon ROS removal.

Redox Biol 2023; 65:102812. [PMID: 37451140 PMCID: PMC10366351 DOI: 10.1016/j.redox.2023.102812] [Citation(s) in RCA: 10] [Impact Index Per Article: 10.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/10/2023] [Revised: 07/05/2023] [Accepted: 07/08/2023] [Indexed: 07/18/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Doxorubicin (DOX) is among the most widely employed antitumor agents, although its clinical applications have been largely hindered by severe cardiotoxicity. Earlier studies described an essential role of mitochondrial injury in the pathogenesis of DOX cardiomyopathy. PHB2 (Prohibitin 2) is perceived as an essential regulator for mitochondrial dynamics and oxidative phosphorylation (OXPHOS) although its involvement in DOX cardiomyopathy remains elusive. METHODS To decipher the possible role of PHB2 in DOX cardiomyopathy, tamoxifen-induced cardiac-specific PHB2 conditional knockout mice were generated and subjected to DOX challenge. Cardiac function and mitochondrial profiles were examined. Screening of downstream mediators of PHB2 was performed using proteomic profiling and bioinformatic analysis, and was further verified using co-immunoprecipitation and pulldown assays. RESULTS Our data revealed significantly downregulated PHB2 expression in DOX-challenged mouse hearts. PHB2CKO mice were more susceptible to DOX cardiotoxicity compared with PHB2flox/flox mice, as evidenced by more pronounced cardiac atrophy, interstitial fibrosis and decrease in left ventricular ejection fraction and fractional shortening. Mechanistically, PHB2 deficiency resulted in the impairment of mitochondrial bioenergetics and oxidative phosphorylation in DOX cardiotoxicity. Proteomic profiling and interactome analyses revealed that PHB2 interacted with NDUFV2 (NADH-ubiquinone oxidoreductase core subunit V2), a key subunit of mitochondrial respiratory Complex I to mediate regulatory property of PHB2 on mitochondrial metabolism. PHB2 governed the expression of NDUFV2 by promoting its stabilization, while PHB2 deficiency significantly downregulated NDUFV2 in DOX-challenged hearts. Cardiac overexpression of PHB2 alleviated mitochondrial defects in DOX cardiomyopathy both in vivo and in vitro. CONCLUSIONS Our study defined a novel role for PHB2 in mitochondrial dynamics and energetic metabolism through interacting with NDUFV2 in DOX-challenged hearts. Forced overexpression of PHB2 may be considered a promising therapeutic approach for patients with DOX cardiomyopathy.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW The article aims to investigate the complex relationship between cancer and cardiovascular disease (CVD), with a focus on the effects of cancer treatment on cardiac health. RECENT FINDINGS Advances in cancer treatment have improved long-term survival rates, but CVD has emerged as a leading cause of morbidity and mortality in cancer patients. The interplay between cancer itself, treatment methods, homeostatic changes, and lifestyle modifications contributes to this comorbidity. Recent research in the field of cardio-oncology has revealed common genetic mutations, risk factors, and metabolic features associated with the co-occurrence of cancer and CVD. This article provides a comprehensive review of the latest research in cardio-oncology, including common genetic mutations, risk factors, and metabolic features, and explores the interactions between cancer treatment and CVD drugs, proposing novel approaches for the management of cancer and CVD.

Abstract
Background Remote ischemic conditioning (RIC) has been beneficial in laboratory studies of anthracycline cardiotoxicity, but its effects in patients is not established. Objectives The authors studied the effect of RIC on cardiac biomarkers and function during and after anthracycline chemotherapy. Methods The ERIC-Onc study (Effect of Remote Ischaemic Conditioning in Oncology Patients; NCT02471885) was a randomized, single-blind, sham-controlled study of RIC at each chemotherapy cycle. The primary endpoint was troponin T (TnT) during chemotherapy and up to 1 year. Secondary outcomes included cardiac function, major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE), and MACE or cancer death. Cardiac myosin-binding-protein C (cMyC) was investigated in parallel with TnT. Results The study was prematurely halted after the evaluation of 55 patients (RIC n = 28, sham n = 27). Biomarkers increased from baseline to cycle 6 of chemotherapy for all patients (median TnT 6 [IQR: 4-9] ng/L to 33 [IQR: 16-36)] ng/L; P ≤ 0.001; cMyC 3 (IQR: 2-5) ng/L to 47 (IQR: 18-49) ng/L; P ≤ 0.001). Mixed-effects regression analysis for repeated measures showed no difference in TnT between the 2 groups (RIC vs sham, mean difference 3.15 ng/L; 95% CI: -0.04 to 6.33; P = 0.053), or cMyC (RIC vs sham, mean difference 4.17 ng/L; 95% CI: -0.12 to 8.45; P = 0.056). There were more MACE and cancer deaths in the RIC group (11 vs 3; HR: 0.25; 95% CI: 0.07-0.90; P = 0.034), with more cancer deaths (8 vs 1; HR: 0.21; 95% CI: 0.04-0.95; P = 0.043) at 1 year. Conclusions TnT and cMyC significantly increased during anthracycline chemotherapy with 81% having a TnT ≥14 ng/L at cycle 6. RIC did not affect the rise in biomarkers, but there was a small increase in early cancer deaths, possibly related to the greater proportion of patients with metastatic disease randomized to the RIC group (54%vs 37%).

Abstract
Background Anthracycline cardiotoxicity is a concern in survivors of childhood cancers. Recent evidence suggests that remote ischemic conditioning (RIC) may offer myocardial protection. Objectives This randomized sham-controlled single-blind study tested the hypothesis that RIC may reduce myocardial injury in pediatric cancer patients receiving anthracycline chemotherapy. Methods We performed a phase 2 sham-controlled single-blind randomized controlled trial to determine the impact of RIC on myocardial injury in pediatric cancer patients receiving anthracycline-based chemotherapy. Patients were randomized to receive RIC (3 cycles of 5-minute inflation of a blood pressure cuff placed over 1 limb to 15 mm Hg above systolic pressure) or sham intervention. The intervention was applied within 60 minutes before initiation of the first dose and before up to 4 cycles of anthracycline therapy. The primary outcome was the plasma high-sensitivity cardiac troponin T (hs-cTnT) level. The secondary outcome measures included echocardiographic indexes of left ventricular systolic and diastolic function and the occurrence of cardiovascular events. Results A total of 68 children 10.9 ± 3.9 years of age were randomized to receive RIC (n = 34) or sham (n = 34) intervention. Plasma levels of hs-cTnT showed a progressive increase across time points in the RIC (P < 0.001) and sham (P < 0.001) groups. At each of the time points, there were no significant differences in hs-cTnT levels or LV tissue Doppler and strain parameters between the 2 groups (all P > 0.05). None of the patients developed heart failure or cardiac arrhythmias. Conclusions RIC did not exhibit cardioprotective effects in childhood cancer patients receiving anthracycline-based chemotherapy.

[PMID: 37111670 PMCID: PMC10143663 DOI: 10.3390/pharmaceutics15041182] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 6.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/13/2023] [Revised: 03/09/2023] [Accepted: 04/06/2023] [Indexed: 04/29/2023] Open
Abstract
Doxorubicin (DOX) has been recognized as one of the most effective chemotherapies and extensively used in the clinical settings of human cancer. However, DOX-mediated cardiotoxicity is known to compromise the clinical effectiveness of chemotherapy, resulting in cardiomyopathy and heart failure. Recently, accumulation of dysfunctional mitochondria via alteration of the mitochondrial fission/fusion dynamic processes has been identified as a potential mechanism underlying DOX cardiotoxicity. DOX-induced excessive fission in conjunction with impaired fusion could severely promote mitochondrial fragmentation and cardiomyocyte death, while modulation of mitochondrial dynamic proteins using either fission inhibitors (e.g., Mdivi-1) or fusion promoters (e.g., M1) can provide cardioprotection against DOX-induced cardiotoxicity. In this review, we focus particularly on the roles of mitochondrial dynamic pathways and the current advanced therapies in mitochondrial dynamics-targeted anti-cardiotoxicity of DOX. This review summarizes all the novel insights into the development of anti-cardiotoxic effects of DOX via the targeting of mitochondrial dynamic pathways, thereby encouraging and guiding future clinical investigations to focus on the potential application of mitochondrial dynamic modulators in the setting of DOX-induced cardiotoxicity.

Nicorandil Ameliorates Doxorubicin-Induced Cardiotoxicity in Rats, as Evaluated by 7 T Cardiovascular Magnetic Resonance Imaging. Cardiovasc Drugs Ther 2023; 37:39-51. [PMID: 34595611 PMCID: PMC9834367 DOI: 10.1007/s10557-021-07252-5] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Accepted: 07/29/2021] [Indexed: 02/05/2023]
Abstract
PURPOSE Doxorubicin-induced cardiotoxicity (DIC) is a common side effect of doxorubicin chemotherapy, and a major mechanism of DIC is inflammation. However, no effective method exists to prevent DIC. In the present study, we investigated the cardioprotective effects of nicorandil against DIC using multiparametric cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) imaging and elucidated the anti-inflammatory properties of nicorandil in rat models. METHODS Male Sprague-Dawley rats received four weekly intraperitoneal doxorubicin doses (4 mg/kg/injection) to establish the DIC model. After treatment with or without nicorandil (3 mg/kg/day) or diazoxide (10 mg/kg/day) orally, all the groups underwent weekly CMR examinations, including cardiac function and strain assessment and T2 mapping, for 6 weeks. Additionally, blood samples and hearts were collected to examine inflammation and histopathology. RESULTS According to our results, the earliest DIC CMR parameter in the doxorubicin group was T2 mapping time prolongation compared with the DIC rats treated with nicorandil (doxorubicin+nicorandil group) at week 2. Subsequently, the left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) and global peak systolic myocardial strain in the doxorubicin group were significantly reduced, and nicorandil effectively inhibited these effects at week 6. Our results were confirmed by histopathological evaluations. Furthermore, nicorandil treatment had a protective effect against the doxorubicin-induced inflammatory response. Interestingly, similar protective results were obtained using the KATP channel opener diazoxide. CONCLUSION Collectively, our findings indicate that nicorandil application ameliorates DIC in rats with significantly higher cardiac function and myocardial strain and less fibrosis, apoptosis and inflammatory cytokine production. Nicorandil prevents T2 abnormalities in the early stages of DIC, showing a high clinical value for early nicorandil treatment in chemotherapy patients.

Effect of remote ischaemic conditioning on left ventricular function in ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction patients: The CONDI-2 echocardiographic sub-study. Front Cardiovasc Med 2023; 9:1054142. [PMID: 36762305 PMCID: PMC9905230 DOI: 10.3389/fcvm.2022.1054142] [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: 09/26/2022] [Accepted: 12/30/2022] [Indexed: 01/27/2023] Open
Abstract
Background Remote ischaemic conditioning (RIC) applied to the arm by inflation and deflation of a pneumatic cuff has been shown to reduce myocardial infarct size in patients with ST-elevation myocardial infarction undergoing primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PPCI). However, the effect of RIC on left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) following infarct healing remains unknown. Objective To investigate whether RIC applied in the ambulance before PPCI can improve left ventricular (LV) function in STEMI patients 3 months following infarction. Methods Echocardiography was performed in a total of 694 patients from the CONDI-2 study a median of 112 days (IQR 63) after the initial admission. LVEF and LV end-diastolic and end-systolic volumes were calculated using the modified Simpsons biplane method of disks. LV global longitudinal strain (GLS) was estimated using 2-dimensional cine-loops with a frame rate > 55 frames/second, measured in the three standard apical views. Results There was no difference in the measured echocardiographic parameters in the RIC group as compared to the control group, including LV EF, LV GLS, tricuspid annular plane systolic excursion or left ventricular volumes. In the control group, 32% had an ejection fraction < 50% compared to 37% in the RIC group (p = 0.129). Conclusion In this largest to date randomized imaging study of RIC, RIC as an adjunct to PPCI was not associated with a change in echocardiographic measures of cardiac function compared to standard PPCI alone.

Abstract
Background Anthracycline-induced cardiotoxicity is well-known as a side effect of chemotherapy. Currently, clinical imaging techniques are not capable to detect doxorubicin (DOX)-induced cardiotoxicity before a functional decline. The purpose of this study was to evaluate whether myocardial contrast echocardiography (MCE) can dynamically monitor the cardiac changes in the early stage in the DOX-induced rat model of cardiotoxicity. Methods A weekly injection of 2.5 mg/kg of DOX was used to generate a rat model of cardiotoxicity. All groups underwent ultrasonic examinations including standard echocardiography, 2D speckle tracking echocardiography (2D-STE), and MCE. Then all rats were sacrificed immediately for histopathological evaluation. Results A total of eight control rats and 32 DOX-treated rats were included in the study and grouped according to their treatment period. Decreased quantitative parameters of myocardial blood flow (MBF) (control vs. group 1: 133.31 ± 20.23 dB/s vs. 103.35 ± 21.60 dB/s, P = 0.048) and β (control vs. group 2: 11.17 ± 1.48/s vs. 7.15 ± 1.23/s, P < 0.001) were observed after 2 and 4 weeks of treatment, respectively, while left ventricular global strain (control vs. group 3: -23.67 ± 3.92% vs. -16.01 ± 3.40%, P = 0.002) decreased after 6 weeks of treatment and left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) (control vs. group 4: 82.41 ± 3.20% vs. 70.89 ± 9.30%, P = 0.008) decreased after 8 weeks of treatment. The main histopathological features are increased myocardial vacuolization and interstitial fibrosis and decreased myocardial microvessel density. Conclusion Compared with standard echocardiography and 2D-STE, MCE can accurately and non-invasively detect changes in early myocardial perfusion, demonstrating the clinical potential of continuous and dynamic monitoring of DOX-induced cardiotoxicity.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW Cardiovascular disease is long-term complication of both cancer and anti-cancer treatment and can have significant ramifications for health-related quality of life and mortality. This narrative review explores the current evidence linking cardiovascular disease and cancer, as well as exploring strategies for the prevention and management of cardiovascular disease, and outlines future opportunities in the field of cardio-oncology. RECENT FINDINGS Cancer confers risk for various cardiovascular diseases including heart failure, cardiomyopathy, arrhythmia, coronary heart disease, stroke, venous thromboembolism, and valvular heart disease. Cancer treatment, in particular agents such as platinum-based chemotherapy, anthracyclines, hormonal treatments, and thoracic radiotherapy, further increases risk. While cardiovascular disease can be identified early and effectively managed in cancer survivors, cardiovascular screening and management does not typically feature in routine long-term cancer care of adult cancer survivors. Cancer and cancer treatment can accelerate the development of cardiovascular disease. Further research into screening and management strategies for cardiovascular disease, along with evidence-based guidelines, is required to ensure adult cancer survivors receive appropriate long-term care.

Abstract
Here, we review the highlights of cardiovascular basic science published in 2021 and early 2022 on behalf of the European Society of Cardiology Council for Basic Cardiovascular Science. We begin with non-coding RNAs which have emerged as central regulators cardiovascular biology, and then discuss how technological developments in single-cell 'omics are providing new insights into cardiovascular development, inflammation, and disease. We also review recent discoveries on the biology of extracellular vesicles in driving either protective or pathogenic responses. The Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine 2021 recognized the importance of the molecular basis of mechanosensing and here we review breakthroughs in cardiovascular sensing of mechanical force. We also summarize discoveries in the field of atherosclerosis including the role of clonal haematopoiesis of indeterminate potential, and new mechanisms of crosstalk between hyperglycaemia, lipid mediators, and inflammation. The past 12 months also witnessed major advances in the field of cardiac arrhythmia including new mechanisms of fibrillation. We also focus on inducible pluripotent stem cell technology which has demonstrated disease causality for several genetic polymorphisms in long-QT syndrome and aortic valve disease, paving the way for personalized medicine approaches. Finally, the cardiovascular community has continued to better understand COVID-19 with significant advancement in our knowledge of cardiovascular tropism, molecular markers, the mechanism of vaccine-induced thrombotic complications and new anti-viral therapies that protect the cardiovascular system.

Abstract
The Hatter Cardiovascular Institute biennial workshop, originally scheduled for April 2020 but postponed for 2 years due to the Covid pandemic, was organised to debate and discuss the future of Remote Ischaemic Conditioning (RIC). This evolved from the large multicentre CONDI-2-ERIC-PPCI outcome study which demonstrated no additional benefit when using RIC in the setting of ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI). The workshop discussed how conditioning has led to a significant and fundamental understanding of the mechanisms preventing cell death following ischaemia and reperfusion, and the key target cyto-protective pathways recruited by protective interventions, such as RIC. However, the obvious need to translate this protection to the clinical setting has not materialised largely due to the disconnect between preclinical and clinical studies. Discussion points included how to adapt preclinical animal studies to mirror the patient presenting with an acute myocardial infarction, as well as how to refine patient selection in clinical studies to account for co-morbidities and ongoing therapy. These latter scenarios can modify cytoprotective signalling and need to be taken into account to allow for a more robust outcome when powered appropriately. The workshop also discussed the potential for RIC in other disease settings including ischaemic stroke, cardio-oncology and COVID-19. The workshop, therefore, put forward specific classifications which could help identify so-called responders vs. non-responders in both the preclinical and clinical settings.

Abstract
Cardiovascular disease is the major cause of morbidity and mortality in breast cancer survivors. Chemotherapy contributes to this risk. We aimed to define the mechanisms of long-term vascular dysfunction caused by neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NACT) and identify novel therapeutic targets.We studied arteries from postmenopausal women who had undergone breast cancer treatment using docetaxel, doxorubicin and cyclophosphamide (NACT), and women with no history of such treatment matched for key clinical parameters. Mechanisms were explored in wild-type and Nox4-/- mice and human microvascular endothelial cells.Endothelium-dependent vasodilatation is severely impaired in patients after NACT, while endothelium-independent responses remain normal. This was mimicked by 24-hour exposure of arteries to NACT agents ex-vivo. When applied individually, only docetaxel impaired endothelial function in human vessels. Mechanistic studies showed that NACT increased inhibitory eNOS phosphorylation of threonine 495 in a ROCK-dependent manner and augmented vascular superoxide and hydrogen peroxide production and NADPH oxidase activity. Docetaxel increased expression of NADPH oxidase NOX4 in endothelial and smooth muscle cells and NOX2 in the endothelium. NOX4 increase in human arteries may be mediated epigenetically by diminished DNA methylation of the NOX4 promoter. Docetaxel induced endothelial dysfunction and hypertension in mice. These were prevented in Nox4-/- and by pharmacological inhibition of Nox4 or Rock.Commonly used chemotherapeutic agents, and in particular, docetaxel, alter vascular function by promoting inhibitory phosphorylation of eNOS and enhancing ROS production by NADPH oxidases.

Front Cardiovasc Med 2022; 9:908755.

Abstract
Background Curcumin, a diarylheptanoid chemical compound extracted from curcuma longa, exerts a variety of biological and pharmacological effects in numerous pathological conditions, including ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury. In this study, we investigated its role in post-resuscitation myocardial dysfunction in a rat model of cardiac arrest (CA) and cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) by targeting on mitochondrial metabolism and apoptosis. Methods Animals were randomized into three groups: sham, control and curcumin, with fifteen rats in each group. Ventricular fibrillation (VF) was induced in the rats of the control and curcumin groups. The rats in the two groups were untreated for 8 min, followed by CPR for 8 min. Placebo (saline) or curcumin was administered by intraperitoneal injection, respectively, 5 min after successful resuscitation. Myocardial function was measured at baseline and post-resuscitation for 6 h consecutively. Ten rats in each group were closely observed for an additional 66 h to analyze the survival status, and the remaining five were sacrificed for the measurement of mitochondrial parameters and cell apoptosis. Results Compared with the control group, myocardial function was significantly enhanced in the curcumin group, contributing to a better survival status. Curcumin treatment mitigated the depletion of superoxide dismutase (SOD) and the production of malondialdehyde (MDA). The structural damage of mitochondria was also alleviated, with improved conditions of mPTP and ΔΨm. Curcumin boosted the production of ATP and attenuated myocardial apoptosis. Cytochrome C, caspase-3 and its cleavage were suppressed by curcumin. Proteins closely related to the functional performance of mitochondria, including uncoupling protein 2 (UCP2) and uncoupling protein 3 (UCP3) were downregulated, while mitochondrial transcription factor A (mtTFA) was upregulated. Conclusion Curcumin improves the outcomes of CPR via alleviating myocardial dysfunction induced by I/R injury. It exhibits anti-oxidation properties. Moreover, it is capable of ameliorating mitochondrial structure and energy metabolism, as well as inhibiting the mitochondrial apoptosis pathway. UCP2, UCP3, and mtTFA might also be involved in curcumin mediated protective effects on mitochondria.

Abstract
Skin flaps are necessary in plastic and reconstructive surgery for the removal of skin cancer, wounds, and ulcers. A skin flap is a portion of skin with its own blood supply that is partially separated from its original position and moved from one place to another. The use of skin flaps is often accompanied by cell necrosis or apoptosis due to ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) injury. Proinflammatory cytokines, such as nuclear factor kappa B (NF-κB), inhibitor of kappa B (IκB), interleukin-6 (IL-6), tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), and oxygen free radicals are known causative agents of cell necrosis and apoptosis. To prevent I/R injury, many investigators have suggested the inhibition of proinflammatory cytokines, stem-cell therapies, and drug-based therapies. Ischemic preconditioning (IPC) is a strategy used to prevent I/R injury. IPC is an experimental technique that uses short-term repetition of occlusion and reperfusion to adapt the area to the loss of blood supply. IPC can prevent I/R injury by inhibiting proinflammatory cytokine activity. Various stem cell applications have been studied to facilitate flap survival and promote angiogenesis and vascularization in animal models. The possibility of constructing tissue engineered flaps has also been investigated. Although numerous animal studies have been published, clinical data with regard to IPC in flap reconstruction have never been reported. In this study, we present various experimental skin flap methods, IPC methods, and methods utilizing molecular factors associated with IPC.

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

miR-488-3p Protects Cardiomyocytes against Doxorubicin-Induced Cardiotoxicity by Inhibiting CyclinG1. OXIDATIVE MEDICINE AND CELLULAR LONGEVITY 2022; 2022:5184135. [PMID: 35186188 PMCID: PMC8853758 DOI: 10.1155/2022/5184135] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/02/2021] [Revised: 01/02/2022] [Accepted: 01/12/2022] [Indexed: 12/14/2022]
Abstract
Objective To investigate the protective effects and regulatory mechanism of miR-488-3p on doxorubicin-induced cardiotoxicity. Methods The C57BL/6 mice and primary cardiomyocytes were used to construct doxorubicin-induced cardiomyocyte injury models in vivo and in vitro. The levels of miR-488-3p and its downstream target genes were analyzed by quantitative real-time PCR. Mouse cardiac function, cell survival, cellular injury-related proteins, and the apoptosis level of cardiomyocytes were analyzed by echocardiography, MTT analysis, Western blotting, and DNA laddering separately. Results Cardiomyocyte injury caused by a variety of stimuli can lead to the reduction of miR-488-3p level, especially when stimulated with doxorubicin. Doxorubicin led to significant decrease in cardiac function, cell autophagic flux blockage, and apoptosis in vivo and in vitro. The expression of miR-488-3p's target gene, CyclinG1, increased remarkably in the doxorubicin-treated neonatal mouse cardiomyocytes. Overexpression of miR-488-3p inhibited CyclinG1 expression, increased cardiomyocyte viability, and attenuated doxorubicin-induced cardiomyocyte autophagic flux blockage and apoptosis. Conclusions miR-488-3p is one of the important protective miRNAs in doxorubicin-induced cardiotoxicity by inhibiting the expression of CyclinG1, which provides insight into the possible clinical application of miR-488-3p/CyclinG1 as therapeutic targets in doxorubicin-induced cardiovascular diseases.

Abstract
The landscape of pediatric oncology has dramatically changed over the course of the past several decades with five-year survival rates surpassing 80%. Anthracycline therapy has been the cornerstone of many chemotherapy regimens for pediatric patients since its introduction in the 1960s, and recent improved survival has been in large part due to advancements in chemotherapy, refinement of supportive care treatments, and development of novel therapeutics such as small molecule inhibitors, chimeric antigen receptor T-cell therapy, and immune checkpoint inhibitors. Unfortunately, many cancer-targeted therapies can lead to acute and chronic cardiovascular pathologies. The range of cardiotoxicity can vary but includes symptomatic or asymptotic heart failure, arrhythmias, coronary artery disease, valvar disease, pericardial disease, hypertension, and peripheral vascular disease. There is lack of data guiding primary prevention and treatment strategies in the pediatric population, which leads to substantial practice variability. Several important future research directions have been identified, including as they relate to cardiac disease, prevention strategies, management of cardiovascular risk factors, risk prediction, early detection, and the role of genetic susceptibility in development of cardiotoxicity. Continued collaborative research will be key in advancing the field. The ideal model for pediatric cardio-oncology is a proactive partnership between pediatric cardiologists and oncologists in order to better understand, treat, and ideally prevent cardiac disease in pediatric oncology patients.

Abstract
Background Doxorubicin (DOX)-induced cardiotoxicity (DIC), a major clinical problem, has no effective preventive therapies. We hypothesized that left ventricular (LV) systolic function would be improved in a chronic hypobaric hypoxia environment at high altitude. The purpose of this study was to investigate whether cardiovascular magnetic resonance could reveal the cardioprotective effect of chronic hypobaric hypoxia on DIC. Methods In total, 60 rats were randomly assigned to 1 of 6 groups (n=10 per group): the P group (plain), PD group (plain + DOX), HH group (high altitude), HHD4 group (high altitude + DOX for 4 weeks), HHD8 group (high altitude + DOX for 8 weeks), and HHD12 group (high altitude + DOX for 12 weeks). The rats were transported to either Yushu (altitude: 4,250 m) or Chengdu (altitude: 500 m) where they underwent intraperitoneal injection of DOX (5 mg/kg/week for 3 weeks) or saline. Preclinical 7 T cardiovascular magnetic resonance was performed at weeks 4, 8, and 12. Tissue tracking was used to measure LV cardiac function and to analyze global and segmental strains. Subsequently, histological and oxidative stress tests were performed to evaluate the protective effect of a high-altitude environment on DIC. Results The left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) and global and regional strains in the middle, apical, anterior, septal, inferior, and lateral segments (all P<0.05) were improved in the HHD4 group compared with the PD group. The global strain was significantly greater in absolute value in the HHD8 and HHD12 groups than in the HHD4 group (all P<0.05). Additionally, histological and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay evaluations supported the in vivo results. Conclusions A chronic hypobaric and hypoxic environment at high altitude partially prevented cardiac dysfunction and increased global and regional strain in DIC rat models, thereby minimizing myocardial injury and fibrosis. In addition, by increasing the total duration of chronic hypobaric hypoxia, the global strain was further increased, which was likely due to reduced oxidative stress.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Dietary polyphenols help to prevent cardiovascular diseases, and interactions between polyphenols and gut microbiota are known to exist. In this study, we speculated that gut microbiota-mediated metabolite regulation might contribute to the anticardiotoxic effects of yellow wine polyphenolic compound (YWPC) in doxorubicin (DOX)-treated rats. METHODS 16S-rDNA sequencing was performed to analyze the effects of YWPC on the gut microbiota in DOX-treated rats (n=6). Antibiotics were used to investigate the contribution of the altered microbiome to the role of YWPC (n=6). Plasma metabolomics were also analyzed by untargeted gas chromatography-mass spectrometry systems. RESULTS YWPC ameliorated DOX-mediated cardiotoxicity, as evidenced by increased cardiac and mitochondrial function and reduced levels of inflammation and myocardial apoptosis (P<0.05 for all). The low abundance of Escherichia-Shigella, Dubosiella, and Allobaculum, along with enrichment of Muribaculaceae_unclassified, Ralstonia, and Rikenellaceae_RC9_gut_group in the gut, suggested that YWPC ameliorated DOX-induced microbial dysbiosis. YWPC also influenced the levels of metabolites altered by DOX, resulting in lower arachidonic acid and linoleic acid metabolism and higher tryptophan metabolite levels (P<0.05 for all). Correlational studies indicated that YWPC alleviated DOX-induced inflammation and mitochondrial dysfunction by modulating the gut microbial community and its associated metabolites. Antibiotic treatment exacerbated cardiotoxicity in DOX-treated rats, and its effect on the gut microbiota partly abolished the anticardiotoxic effects of YWPC, suggesting that the microbiota is required for the cardioprotective role of YWPC. CONCLUSIONS YWPC protected against DOX-induced cardiotoxicity in a gut microbiota-dependent manner. This supports the use of dietary polyphenols as a therapeutic approach for the treatment of cardiovascular diseases via microbiota regulation.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Preconditioning of the heart ameliorates doxorubicin (Dox)-induced cardiotoxicity. We tested whether pretreating cardiomyocytes by mitochondrial-targeted antioxidants, mitoquinone (MitoQ) or SKQ1, would provide better protection against Dox than co-treatment. METHODS We investigated the dose-response relationship of MitoQ, SKQ1, and vitamin C on Dox-induced damage on H9c2 cardiomyoblasts when drugs were given concurrently with Dox (e.g., co-treatment) or 24 h prior to Dox (e.g., pretreatment). Moreover, their effects on intracellular and mitochondrial oxidative stress were evaluated by 2,7-dichlorofluorescin diacetate and MitoSOX, respectively. RESULTS Dox (0.5-50 μM, n = 6) dose-dependently reduced cell viability. By contrast, co-treatment of MitoQ (0.05-10 μM, n = 6) and SKQ1 (0.05-10 μM, n = 6), but not vitamin C (1-2000 μM, n = 3), significantly improved cell viability only at intermediate doses (0.5-1 μM). MitoQ (1 μM) and SKQ1 (1 μM) significantly increased cell viability to 1.79 ± 0.12 and 1.59 ± 0.08 relative to Dox alone, respectively (both p < 0.05). Interestingly, when given as pretreatment, only higher doses of MitoQ (2.5 μM, n = 9) and SKQ1 (5 μM, n = 7) showed maximal protection and improved cell viability to 2.19 ± 0.13 and 1.65 ± 0.07 relative to Dox alone, respectively (both p < 0.01), which was better than that of co-treatment. Moreover, the protective effects were attributed to the significant reduction in Dox-induced intracellular and mitochondrial oxidative stress. CONCLUSION The data suggest that MitoQ and SKQ1, but not vitamin C, mitigated DOX-induced damage. Moreover, MitoQ pretreatment showed significantly higher cardioprotection than its co-treatment and SKQ1, which may be due to its better antioxidant effects.

Abstract
Altered autophagy is implicated in several human cardiovascular diseases. Remote ischemic conditioning (RIC) is cardioprotective in multiple cardiovascular injury models and modifies autophagy signaling, but its effect in cardiomyopathy induced by gene manipulation has not been reported. To investigate the cardiac effects of chronically reduced autophagy as a result of Atg5 knockdown and assess whether RIC can rescue the phenotype. Atg5 knockdown was induced with tamoxifen for 14 days in cardiac-specific conditional Atg5 flox mice. Autophagy proteins and cardiac function were evaluated by Western blot and echocardiography, respectively. RIC was induced by cyclical hindlimb ischemia and reperfusion using a tourniquet. RIC or sham procedure was performed daily during tamoxifen induction and, in separate experiments, chronically 3 times per week for 8 weeks. Cardiac responses were assessed by end of the study. Cardiac-specific knockdown of Atg5 reduced protein levels by 70% and was associated with a significant increase in mTOR, a reduction of LC3-II and increased upstream autophagy proteins including LC3-I, P62, and Beclin. The changes in biochemical markers were associated with development of an age-related cardiomyopathy during the 17-month follow-up indicated by increased heart weight body weight ratio, progressive decline in cardiac function, and premature death. RIC increased cardiac ATG5 and rescued some of the Atg5 knockdown-induced cardiomyopathy phenotype and associated morphological remodeling. We conclude that cardiac-specific Atg5 knockdown leads to the development of age-related cardiomyopathy. RIC reverses the molecular and structural phenotype when administered both acutely and chronically.

Progress in cardiac research - from rebooting cardiac regeneration to a complete cell atlas of the heart. Cardiovasc Res 2021; 117:2161-2174.

Abstract
We review some of the important discoveries and advances made in basic and translational cardiac research in 2020. For example, in the field of myocardial infarction (MI), new aspects of autophagy and the importance of eosinophils were described. Novel approaches such as a glycocalyx mimetic were used to improve cardiac recovery following MI. The strategy of 3D bio-printing was shown to allow the fabrication of a chambered cardiac organoid. The benefit of combining tissue engineering with paracrine therapy to heal injured myocardium is discussed. We highlight the importance of cell-to cell communication, in particular the relevance of extracellular vesicles such as exosomes, which transport proteins, lipids, non-coding RNAs and mRNAs and actively contribute to angiogenesis and myocardial regeneration. In this rapidly growing field, new strategies were developed to stimulate the release of reparative exosomes in ischaemic myocardium. Single-cell sequencing technology is causing a revolution in the study of transcriptional expression at cellular resolution, revealing unanticipated heterogeneity within cardiomyocytes, pericytes and fibroblasts, and revealing a unique subpopulation of cardiac fibroblasts. Several studies demonstrated that exosome- and non-coding RNA-mediated approaches can enhance human induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC) viability and differentiation into mature cardiomyocytes. Important details of the mitochondrial Ca2+ uniporter and its relevance were elucidated. Novel aspects of cancer therapeutic-induced cardiotoxicity were described, such as the novel circular RNA circITCH, which may lead to novel treatments. Finally, we provide some insights into the effects of SARS-CoV-2 on the heart.

Extracellular matrix remodeling in animal models of anthracycline-induced cardiomyopathy: a meta-analysis. J Mol Med (Berl) 2021; 99:1195-1207. [PMID: 34052857 PMCID: PMC8367936 DOI: 10.1007/s00109-021-02098-8] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/19/2021] [Revised: 05/17/2021] [Accepted: 05/20/2021] [Indexed: 12/28/2022]
Abstract
As in other cardiomyopathies, extracellular matrix (ECM) remodeling plays an important role in anthracycline-induced cardiomyopathy. To understand the pattern and timing of ECM remodeling pathways, we conducted a systematic review in which we describe protein and mRNA markers for ECM remodeling that are differentially expressed in the hearts of animals with anthracycline-induced cardiomyopathy. We included 68 studies in mice, rats, rabbits, and pigs with follow-up of 0.1-8.2 human equivalent years after anthracycline administration. Using meta-analysis, we found 29 proteins and 11 mRNAs that were differentially expressed in anthracycline-induced cardiomyopathy compared to controls. Collagens, matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs), inflammation markers, transforming growth factor ß signaling markers, and markers for cardiac hypertrophy were upregulated, whereas the protein kinase B (AKT) pro-survival pathway was downregulated. Their expression patterns over time from single time point studies were studied with meta-regression using human equivalent years as the time scale. Connective tissue growth factor showed an early peak in expression but remained upregulated at all studied time points. Brain natriuretic peptide (BNP) and MMP9 protein levels increased in studies with longer follow-up. Significant associations were found for higher atrial natriuretic peptide with interstitial fibrosis and for higher BNP and MMP2 protein levels with left ventricular systolic function.
