Abstract
Accumulating senescent cells within tissues contribute to the progression of aging and age-related diseases. Botanical extracts, rich in phytoconstituents, present a useful resource for discovering therapies that could target senescence and thus improve healthspan. Here, we show that daily oral administration of a standardized extract of Salvia haenkei (Haenkenium (HK)) extended lifespan and healthspan of naturally aged mice. HK treatment inhibited age-induced inflammation, fibrosis and senescence markers across several tissues, as well as increased muscle strength and fur thickness compared with age-matched controls. We also found that HK treatment reduced acutely induced senescence by the chemotherapeutic agent doxorubicin, using p16LUC reporter mice. We profiled the constituent components of HK by mass spectrometry, and identified luteolin-the most concentrated flavonoid in HK-as a senomorphic compound. Mechanistically, by performing surface plasmon resonance and in situ proximity ligation assay, we found that luteolin disrupted the p16-CDK6 interaction. This work demonstrates that administration of HK promotes longevity in mice, possibly by modulating cellular senescence and by disrupting the p16-CDK6 interaction.

Abstract
Oxidative stress has been shown to induce cell death in a wide range of human diseases including cardiac ischemia/reperfusion injury, drug induced cardiotoxicity, and heart failure. However, the mechanism of cell death induced by oxidative stress remains incompletely understood. Here we provide new evidence that oxidative stress primarily induces ferroptosis, but not apoptosis, necroptosis, or mitochondria-mediated necrosis, in cardiomyocytes. Intriguingly, oxidative stress induced by organic oxidants such as tert-butyl hydroperoxide (tBHP) and cumene hydroperoxide (CHP), but not hydrogen peroxide (H2O2), promoted glutathione depletion and glutathione peroxidase 4 (GPX4) degradation in cardiomyocytes, leading to increased lipid peroxidation. Moreover, elevated oxidative stress is also linked to labile iron overload through downregulation of the transcription suppressor BTB and CNC homology 1 (Bach1), upregulation of heme oxygenase 1 (HO-1) expression, and enhanced iron release via heme degradation. Strikingly, oxidative stress also promoted HO-1 translocation to mitochondria, leading to mitochondrial iron overload and lipid reactive oxygen species (ROS) accumulation. Targeted inhibition of mitochondrial iron overload or ROS accumulation, by overexpressing mitochondrial ferritin (FTMT) or mitochondrial catalase (mCAT), respectively, markedly inhibited oxidative stress-induced ferroptosis. The levels of mitochondrial iron and lipid peroxides were also markedly increased in cardiomyocytes subjected to simulated ischemia and reperfusion (sI/R) or the chemotherapeutic agent doxorubicin (DOX). Overexpressing FTMT or mCAT effectively prevented cardiomyocyte death induced by sI/R or DOX. Taken together, oxidative stress induced by organic oxidants but not H2O2 primarily triggers ferroptotic cell death in cardiomyocyte through GPX4 and Bach1/HO-1 dependent mechanisms. Our results also reveal mitochondrial iron overload via HO-1 mitochondrial translocation as a key mechanism as well as a potential molecular target for oxidative stress-induced ferroptosis in cardiomyocytes.

Abstract
Doxorubicin (DOX) is a highly effective chemotherapeutic drug, but its long-term use can cause cardiotoxicity and drug resistance. Accumulating evidence demonstrates that p53 is directly involved in DOX toxicity and resistance. One of the primary causes for DOX resistance is the mutation or inactivation of p53. Moreover, because the non-specific activation of p53 caused by DOX can kill non-cancerous cells, p53 is a popular target for reducing toxicity. However, the reduction in DOX-induced cardiotoxicity (DIC) via p53 suppression is often at odds with the antitumor advantages of p53 reactivation. Therefore, in order to increase the effectiveness of DOX, there is an urgent need to explore p53-targeted anticancer strategies owing to the complex regulatory network and polymorphisms of the p53 gene. In this review, we summarize the role and potential mechanisms of p53 in DIC and resistance. Furthermore, we focus on the advances and challenges in applying dietary nutrients, natural products, and other pharmacological strategies to overcome DOX-induced chemoresistance and cardiotoxicity. Lastly, we present potential therapeutic strategies to address key issues in order to provide new ideas for increasing the clinical use of DOX and improving its anticancer benefits.

Abstract
(1) the mechanisms and outcomes of doxorubicin (DOX)-dependent toxicity upon changed intracellular zinc (Zn) concentrations in the cardiomyocytes obtained from human-induced pluripotent stem cells (hiPCS-CMs) were investigated; (2) cells exposed to the DOX were pretreated or cotreated with zinc pyrythione (ZnPyr) and various cellular endpoints and mechanisms were analyzed via cytometric methods; (3) both DOX concentrations (0.3 and 1 µM) induced a concentration-dependent loss of viability, an activation of autophagy, cell death, and the appearance of senescence. These phenotypes were preceded by an oxidative burst, DNA damage, and a loss of mitochondrial and lysosomal integrity. Furthermore, in DOX-treated cells, proinflammatory and stress kinase signaling (in particular, JNK and ERK) were upregulated upon the loss of free intracellular Zn pools. Increased free Zn concentrations proved to have both inhibitory and stimulatory effects on the investigated DOX-related molecular mechanisms, as well as on signaling pathways on the resulting cell fates; and (4) free intracellular Zn pools, their status, and their elevation might have, in a specific context, a pleiotropic impact upon DOX-dependent cardiotoxicity.

Abstract
Interleukin-33 (IL-33) belongs to the interleukin-1 (IL-1) family, and its structure is similar to IL-18. When cells are damaged or undergo necrosis, mature form of IL-33 is secreted as a cytokine, which can activate the immune system and provide danger signals. The IL-33/ST2 signaling pathway is composed of IL-33, suppression of tumorigenicity 2 (ST2), and IL-1 receptor accessory protein (IL-1RAcP). IL-33 has been reported to be strongly associated with lung cancer progression, and can exhibit opposite effects on lung cancer under different conditions. In this review, we have summarized the structure and basic functions of IL-33, its possible function in immune regulation, and its role in pulmonary fibrosis as well as in lung cancer. We have highlighted the dual regulation of IL-33 in lung cancer and proposed potential lung cancer treatment regimens, especially new immunotherapies, based on its mechanism of action.

Abstract
An element, iron, a process, the generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS), and a molecule, ascorbate, were chosen in our study to show their dual functions and their role in cell fate decision. Iron is a critical component of numerous proteins involved in metabolism and detoxification. On the other hand, excessive amounts of free iron in the presence of oxygen can promote the production of potentially toxic ROS. They can result in persistent oxidative stress, which in turn can lead to damage and cell death. At the same time, ROS—at strictly regulated levels—are essential to maintaining the redox homeostasis, and they are engaged in many cellular signaling pathways, so their total elimination is not expedient. Ascorbate establishes a special link between ROS generation/elimination and cell death. At low concentrations, it behaves as an excellent antioxidant and has an important role in ROS elimination. However, at high concentrations, in the presence of transition metals such as iron, it drives the generation of ROS. In the term of the dual function of these molecules and oxidative stress, ascorbate/ROS-driven cell deaths are not necessarily harmful processes—they can be live-savers too.

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

Abstract
During tourniquet application, blood flow is restricted to a limb to stop excessive limb hemorrhage in a trauma setting and to create a bloodless operating field in the surgical setting. During tourniquet-related ischemia, aerobic respiration stops, and ATP is depleted, and during subsequent reperfusion, there is an increase in reactive oxygen species (ROS) production and other endogenous substances, which leads to acute ischemia-reperfusion (IR) injuries, including tissue necrosis and skeletal muscle contractile dysfunction. Hyperbaric oxygen (HBO) therapy can increase the arterial oxygen tension in the tissues of patients with general hypoxia/anoxia, including carbon monoxide poisoning, circulatory arrest, and cerebral and myocardial ischemia. Here, we studied the protective effects of HBO pretreatment with 100% oxygen at 2.5 ATA against tourniquet/IR injury in mice. After one hour of HBO therapy with 100% oxygen at 2.5 ATA was administered to C57/BL6 mice, a rubber band was placed at the hip joint of the unilateral hindlimb to induce 3 h of ischemia and then released for 48 h of reperfusion. We analyzed gastrocnemius muscle morphology and contractile function and measured the levels of ATP and ROS accumulation in the muscles. HBO pretreatment did not improve tourniquet/IR-injured gastrocnemius muscle morphology and muscle contraction. Tourniquet/IR mice with HBO pretreatment showed no increase in ATP levels in IR tissues, but they did have a decreased amount of ROS accumulation in the muscles, compared to IR mice with no HBO pretreatment. These data suggest that one hour of HBO pretreatment with 100% oxygen at 2.5 ATA increases the antioxidant response to lower ROS accumulation but does not increase ATP levels in IR muscles and improve tourniquet/IR-injured muscle morphology and contractile function.

Abstract
The clinical application of doxorubicin (Dox) in tumor chemotherapy is limited by time-dependent and dose-dependent cardiotoxicity. Hence, there is an urgent need to elucidate doxorubicin cardiotoxicity and to solve the difficult problem in clinical application. It has been verified that serum and glucocorticoid-regulated kinase 1 (SGK1) possess cardioprotective effects. Here, H9c2 cells were treated with 1 μM doxorubicin for 24 h to establish doxorubicin cardiotoxicity, so as to determine the biological role of SGK1 in doxorubicin cardiomyopathy and to elucidate the underlying molecular mechanism. SGK1 level in doxorubicin-treated H9c2 cells was assessed by performing Western blot assay and RT-qPCR. CCK-8 assay and TUNEL staining were employed to evaluate the cell viability and cell apoptosis. Besides, apoptosis-related proteins were measured by Western blot assay to analyze cell apoptosis. Additionally, the release of TNF-α, IL-1β, IL-6, and IL-10 and the levels of ROS, MDA, and SOD were detected to reflect inflammation and oxidative stress. Moreover, Western blot assay was adopted for determination of ERS-associated proteins. Results revealed that SGK1 was downregulated in doxorubicin-treated H9c2 cells. Upregulation of SGK1 alleviated doxorubicin-induced cardiotoxic injury, cell apoptosis, inflammation and oxidative stress in H9c2 cells. Moreover, SGK1 overexpression mitigated doxorubicin-induced ERS in H9c2 cells. The suppressing effects of SGK1 on doxorubicin-induced cardiotoxic injury, apoptosis, inflammation, oxidative stress and ERS in H9c2 cells were partially abolished upon GRP78 overexpression. To conclude, upregulation of SGK1 may alleviate doxorubicin cardiotoxicity by repressing GRP78-mediated ERS.

Abstract
The therapeutic landscape for the treatment of cancer has evolved significantly in recent decades, aided by the development of effective oncology drugs. However, many cancer drugs are often poorly tolerated by the body and in particular the cardiovascular system, causing adverse and sometimes fatal side effects that negate the chemotherapeutic benefits. The prevalence and severity of chemotherapy-induced cardiotoxicity warrants a deeper investigation of the mechanisms and implicating factors in this phenomenon, and a consolidation of scientific efforts to develop mitigating strategies. Aiding these efforts is the emergence of induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) in recent years, which has allowed for the generation of iPSC-derived cardiomyocytes (iPSC-CMs): a human-based, patient-derived, and genetically variable platform that can be applied to the study of chemotherapy-induced cardiotoxicity and beyond. After surveying chemotherapy-induced cardiotoxicity and the associated chemotherapeutic agents, we discuss the use of iPSC-CMs in cardiotoxicity modeling, drug screening, and other potential applications. Improvements to the iPSC-CM platform, such as the development of more adult-like cardiomyocytes and ongoing advances in biotechnology, will only enhance the utility of iPSC-CMs in both basic science and clinical applications.

Mitochondrial targeted antioxidants, mitoquinone and SKQ1, not vitamin C, mitigate doxorubicin-induced damage in H9c2 myoblast: pretreatment vs. co-treatment. BMC Pharmacol Toxicol 2021; 22:49.

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.

Overexpression of Neuron-Derived Orphan Receptor 1 (NOR-1) Rescues Cardiomyocytes from Cell Death and Improves Viability after Doxorubicin Induced Stress. Biomedicines 2021; 9:1233.

Abstract
Following myocardial infarction, reperfusion injury (RI) is commonly observed due to the excessive formation of, e.g., reactive oxygen species (ROS). Doxorubicin (DOX), a widely used anti-cancer drug, is also known to cause cardiotoxicity due to excessive ROS production. Exercise training has been shown to protect the heart against both RI- and DOX-induced cardiotoxicity, but the exact mechanism is still unknown. Neuron-derived orphan receptor 1 (NOR-1) is an important exercise-responsive protein in the skeletal muscle which has also been reported to facilitate cellular survival during hypoxia. Therefore, we hypothesized that NOR-1 could protect cardiomyocytes (CMs) against cellular stress induced by DOX. We also hypothesized that NOR-1 is involved in preparing the CMs against a stress situation during nonstimulated conditions by increasing cell viability. To determine the protective effect of NOR-1 in CMs stressed with DOX challenge, we overexpressed NOR-1 in AC16 human CMs treated with 5 µM DOX for 12 h or the respective vehicle control, followed by performing Lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) activity, 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide (MTT), and caspase-3 activity assays to measure cell death, cell viability, and apoptosis, respectively. In addition, Western blotting analysis was performed to determine the expression of key proteins involved in cardioprotection. We demonstrated that NOR-1 overexpression decreased cell death (p < 0.105) and apoptosis (p < 0.01) while increasing cell viability (p < 0.05) in DOX-treated CMs. We also observed that NOR-1 overexpression increased phosphorylation of extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK) (p < 0.01) and protein expression levels of B cell lymphoma extra-large (Bcl-xL) (p < 0.01). We did not detect any significant changes in phosphorylation of protein kinase B (Akt), glycogen synthase kinase-3β (GSK-3β) and signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 (STAT3) or expression levels of superoxide dismutase 2 (SOD2) and cyclin D1. Furthermore, we demonstrated that NOR-1 overexpression increased the cell viability (p < 0.0001) of CMs during nonstimulated conditions without affecting cell death or apoptosis. Our findings indicate that NOR-1 could serve as a potential cardioprotective protein in response to Doxorubicin-induced cellular stress.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Doxorubicin (DOX) is a widely used antitumor drug. However, its clinical application is limited for its serious cardiotoxicity. The mechanism of DOX-induced cardiotoxicity is attributed to the increasing of cell stress in cardiomyocytes, then following autophagic and apoptotic responses. Our previous studies have demonstrated the protective effect of Shenmai injection (SMI) on DOX-induced cardiotoxicity via regulation of inflammatory mediators for releasing cell stress. PURPOSE To further investigate whether SMI attenuates the DOX-induced cell stress in cardiomyocytes, we explored the mechanism underlying cell stress as related to Jun N-terminal kinase (JNK) activity and the regulation of autophagic flux to determine the mechanism by which SMI antagonizes DOX-induced cardiotoxicity. STUDY DESIGN The DOX-induced cardiotoxicity model of autophagic cell death was established in vitro to disclose the protected effects of SMI on oxidative stress, autophagic flux and JNK signaling pathway. Then the autophagic mechanism of SMI antagonizing DOX cardiotoxicity was validated in vivo. RESULTS SMI was able to reduce the DOX-induced cardiomyocyte apoptosis associated with inhibition of activation of the JNK pathway and the accumulation of reactive oxygen species (ROS). Besides, SMI antagonized DOX cardiotoxicity, regulated cardiomyocytes homeostasis by restoring DOX-induced cardiomyocytes autophagy. Under specific circumstances, SMI depressed autophagic process by reducing the Beclin 1-Bcl-2 complex dissociation which was activated by DOX via stimulating the JNK signaling pathway. At the same time, SMI regulated lysosomal pH to restore the autophagic flux which was blocked by DOX in cardiomyocytes. CONCLUSION SMI regulates cardiomyocytes apoptosis and autophagy by controlling JNK signaling pathway, blocking DOX-induced apoptotic pathway and autophagy formation. SMI was also found to play a key role in restoring autophagic flux for counteracting DOX-damaged cardiomyocyte homeostasis.

Abstract
Fluorescent imaging of cellular superoxide anion radical (O2•-) is of great significance to investigate reactive oxygen species-related pathophysiological processes and drug metabolism. However, the application of this technique is far away from maximum partially due to the lack of suitable probes. In this work, we propose a new strategy for design of near-infrared (NIR) O2•- fluorescent probes in which p-cresol is used as a self-immolative linker to conjugate the NIR fluorophore DDAO (9H-1,3-Dichloro-7-hydroxy-9,9-dimethylacridine-2-one) with the O2•--sensing group (i.e., trifluoromethanesulfonate). The introduction of self-immolative linker effectively increases the self-stability of these probes under physiological conditions. Importantly, the electron-withdrawing halogen substituents on the linker greatly enhance the sensitivity of the probes to O2•-. As such, the representative probe DLS4 exhibits high self-stability over a broad range of pHs (5.0-8.5), high selectivity as well as excellent sensitivity to O2•- with a detection limit (LOD) of 7.3 nM and 720-fold fluorescence enhancement upon reaction with O2•-. Moreover, DLS4 enables imaging of O2•- generation in PMA-stimulated RAW 264.7 cells and HeLa cells, and the fluorescence intensities are proportional to the PMA concentrations. In addition, the doxorubicin-induced cytotoxicity of H9c2 cells was also evaluated using DLS4. The present study provides a novel strategy for molecular design of small-molecule O2•- fluorescent probes and the resulting probes show great potential as reliable tools to study the development and progression of O2•--related diseases and drug metabolism in various systems.

Abstract
While anthracyclines (ACs) are a class of chemotherapeutic agents that have improved the prognosis of many women with breast cancer, it is one of the most cardiotoxic agents used to treat cancer. Despite their reported dose-dependent cardiotoxicity, AC-based chemotherapy has become the mainstay of breast cancer therapy due to its efficacy. Elucidating the mechanisms of anthracycline-mediated cardiotoxicity and associated therapeutic interventions continue to be the main focus in the field of cardio-oncology. Herein, we summarized the current literature surrounding the mechanisms of anthracycline-induced cardiotoxicity, including the role of topoisomerase II inhibition, generation of reactive oxygen species, and elevations in free radicals. Furthermore, this review highlights the molecular mechanisms of potential cardioprotective interventions in this setting. The benefits of pharmaceuticals, including dexrazoxane, angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors, angiotensin receptor blockers, beta-blockers, statins, and antioxidants in this setting, are reviewed. Finally, the mechanisms of emerging preventative interventions within this patient population including nutraceuticals and aerobic exercise are explored.

Abstract
Both long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) RMRP and heat shock protein (HSP) 70 have been known to play crucial roles in inflammation. The present study investigated the roles of lncRNA RMRP and HSP70 protein 4 (HSPA4) in lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced sepsis. The C57BL/6 mice were treated with LPS, following which the cardiomyocytes were isolated for in vitro experiments. Further, a cardiac muscle cell line, HL-1 was transfected with plasmids expressing RMRP and HSPA4, si-NC, si-HSPA4, miR-1-5p mimic, and controls in vitro. Cell apoptosis, mitochondrial membrane potential (MMP), and levels of intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS), mRNAs, and proteins were detected in the transfected mice tissues and cells. The LPS treatment significantly reduced the expression levels of RMRP, MMP, and mitochondrial cytochrome C. Moreover, it enhanced the cardiomyocyte apoptosis, intracellular ROS levels, cytoplasm cytochrome C levels, and the expression of caspase-3 and caspase-9 and nuclear factor κB (NF-κB) p65 subunit. The predicted RMRP-miR-1-5p-HSPA4 network was validated by co-transfection experiments in vitro in HL-1 cells. The transfection of miR-1-5p-treated cells with pcDNA-RMRP enhanced the levels of the protein HSPA4; however, no change at the mRNA level was observed. Moreover, miR-1-5p mimic attenuated the protective effect of pcDNA-HSPA4 against LPS-induced mitochondrial damage and apoptosis. In addition, we observed that silencing of HSPA4 increased the expression of nuclear p65; however, this effect could be reversed by co-transfection with pcDNA-RMRP. The lncRNA RMRP axis acts as a sponge for miR-1-5p. RMRP inhibits LPS-induced apoptosis of cardiomyocytes and mitochondrial damage by suppressing the post-transcriptional regulatory function of miR-1-5p on HSPA4. We believe that RMRP exhibits therapeutic potential for LPS-induced myocardial dysfunction both in vitro and in vivo.

Abstract
In this study, we identified an unexpected pro-cell death role for NFκB in mediating oxidative stress-induced necrosis, and provide new mechanistic evidence that NFκB, in cooperation with HDAC3, negatively regulates Nrf2-ARE anti-oxidative signaling through transcriptional silencing. We showed that genetic inactivation of NFκB-p65 inhibited, whereas activation of NFκB promoted, oxidative stress-induced cell death and HMGB1 release, a biomarker of necrosis. Moreover, NFκB-luciferase activity was elevated in cardiomyocytes after simulated ischemia/reperfusion (sI/R) or doxorubicin (DOX) treatment, and inhibition of NFκB with Ad-p65-shRNA or Ad-IκBαM diminished sI/R- and DOX-induced cell death and HMGB1 release. Importantly, NFκB negatively regulated Nrf2-ARE activity and the expression of antioxidant proteins. Mechanistically, co-immunoprecipitation revealed that p65 was required for Nrf2-HDAC3 interaction and transcriptional silencing of Nrf2-ARE activity. Further, the ability of HDAC3 to repress Nrf2-ARE activity was lost in p65 deficient cells. Pharmacologic inhibition of HADCs or NFκB with trichostatin A (TSA) or BMS-345541, respectively, increased Nrf2-ARE activity and promoted cell survival after sI/R. In vivo, NFκB transcriptional activity in the mouse heart was significantly elevated after ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury, which was abolished by cardiomyocyte-specific deletion of p65 using p65fl/flNkx2.5-Cre mice. Moreover, genetic ablation of p65 in the mouse heart attenuated myocardial infarct size after acute I/R injury and improved cardiac remodeling and functional recovery after chronic myocardial infarction. Thus, our results identified NFκB as a key regulator of oxidative stress-induced necrosis by suppressing the Nrf2-ARE antioxidant pathway through an HDAC3-dependent mechanism. This study also revealed a new pathogenic role of NFκB in cardiac ischemic injury and pathological remodeling.

Abstract
Artificial three-dimensional (3D) tissues have the potential to be used in regenerative medicine or in vitro screening. In particular, the fabrication of 3-D cardiac tissues is greatly anticipated. However, hierarchical organization of 3-D tissues is still unknown. In regenerative medicine and drug discovery, noninvasive evaluation methods of 3-D tissues including inside of it play a key role. In this study, we report on noninvasive methods of analyzing bio-fabricated 3-D cardiac tissues using optical coherence tomography (OCT) and image analysis. Three-dimensional cardiac tissues were fabricated by coating of extracellular matrix nanofilms onto a cell surface using a layer-by-layer (LbL) technique. At first, we investigated the relationship between surface beating and its thickness to assess the value of internal analysis. The results showed that the surface beating was influenced by the thickness. Next, we tried to quantitatively evaluate the internal beating of 3-D cardiac tissues. We also confirmed the methods by changing the beating properties through the administration of isoproterenol. Our results demonstrated that the beating properties of 3-D cardiac tissues differed by depth. The results of this study suggest that information on the internal properties of 3-D cardiac tissue was necessary to understand how it functions. The combination of OCT and image analysis can be used to evaluate the internal beating properties, including changes in beating induced by a drug. It is suggested that OCT and image analysis have the potential to be used as noninvasive methods in regenerative medicine and pharmaceutical applications.

Abstract
Homeostatic regulation of cardiomyocytes plays a crucial role in maintaining the normal physiological activity of cardiac tissue. Severe cardiotoxicity results in cardiac diseases including but not limited to arrhythmia, myocardial infarction and myocardial hypertrophy. Drug-induced cardiotoxicity limits or forbids further use of the implicated drugs. Such drugs that are currently available in the clinic include anti-tumor drugs (doxorubicin, cisplatin, trastuzumab, etc.), antidiabetic drugs (rosiglitazone and pioglitazone), and an antiviral drug (zidovudine). This review focused on cardiomyocyte death forms and related mechanisms underlying clinical drug-induced cardiotoxicity, including apoptosis, autophagy, necrosis, necroptosis, pryoptosis, and ferroptosis. The key proteins involved in cardiomyocyte death signaling were discussed and evaluated, aiming to provide a theoretical basis and target for the prevention and treatment of drug-induced cardiotoxicity in the clinical practice.

A Comorbidity Model of Myocardial Ischemia/Reperfusion Injury and Hypercholesterolemia in Rat Cardiac Myocyte Cultures. Front Physiol 2020; 10:1564. [PMID: 31992989 PMCID: PMC6962358 DOI: 10.3389/fphys.2019.01564] [Citation(s) in RCA: 13] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/17/2019] [Accepted: 12/12/2019] [Indexed: 12/19/2022] Open
Abstract
Introduction The use of comorbidity models is crucial in cardioprotective drug development. Hypercholesterolemia causes endothelial and myocardial dysfunction, as well as aggravates ischemia/reperfusion (I/R)-induced myocardial injury. Endogenous cardioprotective mechanisms against I/R are impaired in hyperlipidemic and hyperglycemic in vivo animal models. Therefore, our aim was to develop a medium throughput comorbidity cell-based test system of myocardial I/R injury, hypercholesterolemia and hyperglycemia that mimics comorbidity conditions. Methods Cardiac myocytes isolated from neonatal or adult rat hearts were cultured in control or in three different hypercholesterolemic media with increasing cholesterol content (hiChol) or hiChol + hyperglycemic medium, respectively. Each group was then subjected to simulated ischemia/reperfusion (SI/R) or corresponding normoxic condition, respectively. Cholesterol uptake was tested by Filipin staining in neonatal cardiac myocytes. Cell viability, total cell count and oxidative stress, i.e., total reactive oxygen species (ROS) and superoxide level were measured by fluorescent assays. Results Neonatal cardiac myocytes took up cholesterol from the different hiChol media at a concentration-dependent manner. In normoxia, viability of hiChol neonatal cardiac myocytes was not significantly changed, however, superoxide levels were increased as compared to vehicle. After SI/R, the viability of hiChol neonatal cardiac myocytes was decreased and total ROS level was increased as compared to vehicle. HiChol combined with hyperglycemia further aggravated cell death and oxidative stress in normoxic as well as in SI/R conditions. Viability of hiChol adult cardiac myocytes was significantly decreased and superoxide level was increased in normoxia and these changes were further aggravated by SI/R. HiChol combined with hyperglycemia further aggravated cell death, however level of oxidative stress increased only in normoxic condition. Conclusion HiChol rat cardiac myocytes showed reduction of cell viability and increased oxidative stress, which were further aggravated by SI/R and with additional hyperglycemia. This is the first demonstration that the combination of the current hypercholesterolemic medium and SI/R in cardiac myocytes mimics the cardiac pathology of the comorbid heart with I/R and hypercholesterolemia.

Abstract
Doxorubicin (DOX), is a very effective chemotherapeutic agent against cancer whose clinical use is limited by toxicity. Different strategies have been proposed to attenuate toxicity, including combined therapy with bioactive compounds. This review update mechanisms of action and toxicity of doxorubicin and the role of nutrients like vitamins (A, C, E), minerals (selenium) and n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids. Protective activities against DOX toxicity in liver, kidney, skin, bone marrow, testicles or brain have been reported, but these have not been evaluated for all of the reviewed nutrients. In most cases oxidation-related effects were present either, by reducing ROS levels and/or increasing antioxidant defenses. Antiapoptotic and anti-inflammatory mechanisms are also commonly reported. In some cases, interferences with autophagy and calcium homeostasis also have shown to be affected. Notwithstanding, there is a wide variety in duration and doses of treatment tested for both, compounds and DOX, which make difficult to compare the results of the studies. In spite of the reduction of DOX cardiotoxicity in health models, DOX anti-cancer activity in cancer cell lines or xenograft models usually did not result compromised when this has been evaluated. Importantly, clinical studies are needed to confirm all the observed effects.

Abstract
Human induced pluripotent stem cell - derived cardiomyocytes (iPSC-CMs) are regarded as a promising cell source for establishing in-vitro personalized cardiac tissue models and developing therapeutics. However, analyzing cardiac force and drug response using mature human iPSC-CMs in a high-throughput format still remains a great challenge. Here we describe a rapid light-based 3D printing system for fabricating micro-scale force gauge arrays suitable for 24-well and 96-well plates that enable scalable tissue formation and measurement of cardiac force generation in human iPSC-CMs. We demonstrate consistent tissue band formation around the force gauge pillars with aligned sarcomeres. Among the different maturation treatment protocols we explored, 3D aligned cultures on force gauge arrays with in-culture pacing produced the highest expression of mature cardiac marker genes. We further demonstrated the utility of these micro-tissues to develop significantly increased contractile forces in response to treatment with isoproterenol, levosimendan, and omecamtiv mecarbil. Overall, this new 3D printing system allows for high flexibility in force gauge design and can be optimized to achieve miniaturization and promote cardiac tissue maturation with great potential for high-throughput in-vitro drug screening applications. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE: The application of iPSC-derived cardiac tissues in translatable drug screening is currently limited by the challenges in forming mature cardiac tissue and analyzing cardiac forces in a high-throughput format. We demonstrate the use of a rapid light-based 3D printing system to build a micro-scale force gauge array that enables scalable cardiac tissue formation from iPSC-CMs and measurement of contractile force development. With the capability to provide great flexibility over force gauge design as well as optimization to achieve miniaturization, our 3D printing system serves as a promising tool to build cardiac tissues for high-throughput in-vitro drug screening applications.

Abstract
Doxorubicin (DOX) is one of the most effective anticancer drugs to treat various forms of cancers; however, its therapeutic utility is severely limited by its associated cardiotoxicity. Despite the enormous amount of research conducted in this area, the exact molecular mechanisms underlying DOX toxic effects on the heart are still an area that warrants further investigations. In this study, we reviewed literature to gather the best-known molecular pathways related to DOX-induced cardiotoxicity (DIC). They include mechanisms dependent on mitochondrial dysfunction such as DOX influence on the mitochondrial electron transport chain, redox cycling, oxidative stress, calcium dysregulation, and apoptosis pathways. Furthermore, we discuss the existing strategies to prevent and/or alleviate DIC along with various techniques available for therapeutic drug monitoring (TDM) in cancer patients treated with DOX. Finally, we propose a stepwise flowchart for TDM of DOX and present our perspective at curtailing this deleterious side effect of DOX.

Abstract
This research demonstrates fluctuation of glutathione peroxidase1 (Gpx1) throughout cell cycle progression with significant decreased expression at mitosis of HeLa cell. This was achieved with western blot (WB) analysis of target proteins from each phase of synchronized cells. The synchronizations were performed with double thymidine (T/T) for G1/S arrest and thymidine followed by nocodazole (T/N) for G2/M arrest. The G1/S arrested cells were released in fresh medium for 3, 6, 9, 10, and 15h to obtain cell at each phase such as gap1 (G1), synthesis (S), gap2 (G2), mitosis (M), and gap1 (G1) phase, respectively, for investigating Gpx1 expression throughout a complete cycle. The synchronizations were confirmed using fluorescence activated cell sorting (FACS) and WB analysis of phase-specific markers. The fluctuations of Gpx1 expression were verified with universal protein actin and peroxiredoxin1 (Prx1) which are stable throughout the cell cycle. Intriguingly, immunoblots showed the level of Gpx1 decreases at mitosis phase and increased during mitotic exit to G1 phase in HeLa cells, while Prx1 protein level remained constant. The fractionation experiments reveal that only the cytosolic Gpx1 was decreased while their levels at mitochondria remain constant. The highest levels of mitochondrial ROS were measured in mitosis phase with FACS analysis using Mito sox indicating that antioxidant activity of Gpx1 for detoxifying excessive induced endogenous reactive oxygen species (ROS) in the mitosis phase could be the reason for such decreasing level. For unfolding the molecular mechanism of such decreased expression, the Gpx1 was investigated at transcriptional, translational, and proteosomal level. The results revealed that translational mechanism is involve in the decreased expression rather than transcriptional or proteosomal degradation at mitosis phase. This finding supports that Gpx1 is involved in the cell cycle progression through regulation of endogenous ROS. Based on this observation, further research could uncover their possible association with the infinitive division of a cancer cell.

Abstract
Whether vitamin C (ascorbate) has a role to play as an anti-cancer agent has been debated for decades. Ascorbate has been used by cancer patients in an unregulated environment, either as a dietary supplement or in pharmacological doses administered by infusion, with numerous reports of clinical benefit, but in the absence of rigorous clinical trial data. The design of appropriate clinical trials has been hindered by a lack of understanding of the mechanism(s) of action that would inform the choice of effective dose, timing of administration and likely responsive cancer models. More recently, expanded understanding of the biological activities of ascorbate has led to a number of plausible hypotheses for mechanisms of anti-cancer activity. Prominent among these are the generation of significant quantities of hydrogen peroxide by the autoxidation of supra-physiological concentrations of ascorbate and stimulation of the 2-oxoglutarate-dependent dioxygenase family of enzymes (2-OGDDs) that have a cofactor requirement for ascorbate. Hydrogen peroxide generation is postulated to generate oxidative stress that preferentially targets cancer cells. The 2-OGDDs include the hydroxylases that regulate the hypoxic response, a major driver of tumor survival, angiogenesis, stem cell phenotype and metastasis, and the epigenetic histone and DNA demethylases. The latter are of particular interest, with recent studies suggesting a promising role for ascorbate in the regulation of the ten-eleven translocase (TET) DNA demethylases in hematological cancers. Support for these proposed mechanisms has come from many in vitro studies, and xenograft animal models have consistently shown an anti-cancer effect of ascorbate administration. However, decisive evidence for any particular mechanism(s) of action is not yet available from an in vivo setting. With a number of early phase clinical trials currently underway, evidence for potential mechanism(s) of action is required to inform the most appropriate study design and choice of cancer model. Hopefully such information will result in sound clinical data that will avert adding any further controversy to this already contentious debate.
