Kidney Response to Chemotherapy-Induced Heart Failure: mRNA Analysis in Normotensive and Ren-2 Transgenic Hypertensive Rats. Int J Mol Sci 2021; 22:8475.

Abstract
The aim of the present study was to perform kidney messenger ribonucleic acid (mRNA) analysis in normotensive, Hannover Sprague-Dawley (HanSD) rats and hypertensive, Ren-2 renin transgenic rats (TGR) after doxorubicin-induced heart failure (HF) with specific focus on genes that are implicated in the pathophysiology of HF-associated cardiorenal syndrome. We found that in both strains renin and angiotensin-converting enzyme mRNA expressions were upregulated indicating that the vasoconstrictor axis of the renin-angiotensin system was activated. We found that pre-proendothelin-1, endothelin-converting enzyme type 1 and endothelin type A receptor mRNA expressions were upregulated in HanSD rats, but not in TGR, suggesting the activation of endothelin system in HanSD rats, but not in TGR. We found that mRNA expression of cytochrome P-450 subfamily 2C23 was downregulated in TGR and not in HanSD rats, suggesting the deficiency in the intrarenal cytochrome P450-dependent pathway of arachidonic acid metabolism in TGR. These results should be the basis for future studies evaluating the pathophysiology of cardiorenal syndrome secondary to chemotherapy-induced HF in order to potentially develop new therapeutic approaches.

Abstract
Doxorubicin's (DOX) cardiotoxicity contributes to the development of chemotherapy-induced heart failure (HF) and new treatment strategies are in high demand. The aim of the present study was to characterize a DOX-induced model of HF in Ren-2 transgenic rats (TGR), those characterized by hypertension and hyperactivity of the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system, and to compare the results with normotensive transgene-negative, Hannover Sprague-Dawley (HanSD) rats. DOX was administered for two weeks in a cumulative dose of 15 mg/kg. In HanSD rats DOX administration resulted in the development of an early phase of HF with the dominant symptom of bilateral cardiac atrophy demonstrable two weeks after the last DOX injection. In TGR, DOX caused substantial impairment of systolic function already at the end of the treatment, with further progression observed throughout the experiment. Additionally, two weeks after the termination of DOX treatment, TGR exhibited signs of HF characteristic for the transition stage between the compensated and decompensated phases of HF. In conclusion, we suggest that DOX-induced HF in TGR is a suitable model to study the pathophysiological aspects of chemotherapy-induced HF and to evaluate novel therapeutic strategies to combat this form of HF, which are urgently needed.
