Abstract
Tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) offer targeted therapy for cancers but can cause severe cardiotoxicities. Determining their dose‑dependent impact on cardiac function is required to optimize therapy and minimize adverse effects. The dose‑dependent cardiotoxic effects of two TKIs, imatinib and ponatinib, were assessed in vitro using H9c2 cardiomyoblasts and in vivo using zebrafish embryos. In vitro, H9c2 cardiomyocyte viability, apoptosis, size, and surface area were evaluated to assess the impact on cellular health. In vivo, zebrafish embryos were analyzed for heart rate, blood flow velocity, and morphological malformations to determine functional and structural changes. Additionally, reverse transcription‑quantitative PCR (RT‑qPCR) was employed to measure the gene expression of atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP) and brain natriuretic peptide (BNP), established markers of cardiac injury. This comprehensive approach, utilizing both in vitro and in vivo models alongside functional and molecular analyses, provides a robust assessment of the potential cardiotoxic effects. TKI exposure decreased viability and surface area in H9c2 cells in a dose‑dependent manner. Similarly, zebrafish embryos exposed to TKIs exhibited dose‑dependent heart malformation. Both TKIs upregulated ANP and BNP expression, indicating heart injury. The present study demonstrated dose‑dependent cardiotoxic effects of imatinib and ponatinib in H9c2 cells and zebrafish models. These findings emphasize the importance of tailoring TKI dosage to minimize cardiac risks while maintaining therapeutic efficacy. Future research should explore the underlying mechanisms and potential mitigation strategies of TKI‑induced cardiotoxicities.

Abstract
Biocompatibility and precise control over their size and shape make DNA origami nanostructures (DONs) promising for drug delivery applications. Whilst many investigations have focused on cancer treatment, this might not be the best fit for DONs that get degraded by nucleases in blood. In comparison, an eye is a uniquely isolated target organ, which could benefit from DONs to achieve and maintain therapeutic concentrations in diseases that threaten the eyesight of millions of patients every year. We investigated the loading of doxorubicin (DOX) as a model drug into three distinct DONs and tested their stability upon storage. Further, we chose one structure (24HB) to probe its stability under physiological conditions in cell media and porcine vitreous, before examining the uptake and effect of DOX-loaded 24HB (24HB-DOX) on the cell viability in a retinal cell line (ARPE-19). Similar to previous reports, the tested low μM loading concentrations of DOX resulted in high drug loadings of up to 34% (m/m), and remained mostly intact in water for at least 2 months at 4 °C. In cell media and porcine vitreous at 37 °C, however, 24HB required additional Mg2+ supplementation to avoid degradation and the loss of the attached fluorophores. With added Mg2+, 24HB remained stable in vitreous for 7 days at 37 °C. The treatment with 24HB-DOX was well tolerated by ARPE-19 cells, compared to the observed higher toxicity of free DOX. Uptake studies revealed, however, that in contrast to free DOX, very little 24HB-DOX was taken up by the cells. Instead, the particles were observed to attach around the cells. Hence, our results suggest that since the uptake seems to be the bottleneck for therapies using DONs, further strategies such as adding ocular targeting moieties are necessary to increase the uptake and efficacy of doxorubicin-loaded DONs.

Abstract
MicroRNA hsa-miR-29 was connected to a number of malignancies. Its target genes are many, among them Mcl-1 that is expressed in three possible isoforms, one of which is anti-apoptotic and another one pro-apoptotic. Ratio of these two isoforms appears to affect cell response to external stimuli. We have demonstrated that miR-29b enhanced etoposide toxicity in HeLa cell line by modulating this ratio of Mcl-1 isoforms. However, it is not known whether the described miR-29 effect is common to various cancer types or even have the opposite effect. This represents a significant problem for possible future applications. In this report, we demonstrate that miR-29b affects toxicity of 60 μM etoposide in cell lines derived from selected malignancies. The mechanism, however, differs among the cell lines tested. Hep G2 cells demonstrated similar effect of miR-29b on etoposide toxicity as was described in HeLa cells, i.e. modulation of Mcl-1 expression. Target protein down-regulated by miR-29b resulting in enhanced etoposide toxicity in Caco-2 cells was, however, Bcl-2 protein. Moreover, H9c2, Hek-293 and ARPE-19 cell lines selected as a representatives of non-malignant cells, showed no effect of miR-29b on etoposide toxicity. Our data suggest that miR-29b could be a common enhancer of etoposide toxicity in malignant cells due to its modulation of Bcl family proteins.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Myocarditis is the most lethal cardiovascular immune related adverse events with a low incidence, depending on the studies. We prospectively studied the potential interest of a systematic screening to early detect immune related myocarditis and confirm the incidence of immune-induced myocarditis in advanced lung cancer and the impact of troponin systematic screening in early detection of other major cardiovascular events (MACE). MATERIAL AND METHODS This prospective bicentric study includes adults who received at least one dose of immune checkpoint inhibitor (ICI) for advanced lung cancer. Cardiac biomarkers dosage, ECG and transthoracic echography (TTE) were done at baseline. Diagnosis of myocarditis was based on European Society of Cardiology recommendations. MACEs were reported during the observation period. RESULTS Among 298 patients, 5 (1.68 %) immune-induced myocarditis occurred, all being asymptomatic with at first troponin elevation, treated by corticosteroids and ICI's discontinuation. No attributable death occurred, and no specific clinical characteristics were identified with myocarditis onset. Three patients were rechallenged with ICI after troponin normalization in the absence of other therapeutic options. Recurrence occurred in 2 patients, with a re-increase of troponin and a de novo modification of the ECG. Systematic cardiovascular screening also led to 14 cardiovascular diseases detection and 11 MACEs during ICI. CONCLUSION Systematic cardiovascular screening has uncovered slightly more immuno-induced myocarditis cases than reported previously, but without altering treatment strategies due to their subclinical nature. Additionally, it helps detecting other cardiovascular diseases in this comorbid population.

Abstract
Cisplatin (CP) is a chemotherapy drug widely prescribed to treat various neoplasms. Although fundamental for the therapeutic action of the drug, its cytotoxic mechanisms trigger adverse effects in several tissues, such as the kidney, liver, and heart, which limit its clinical use. In this sense, studies point to an essential role of damage to nuclear and mitochondrial DNA associated with oxidative stress, inflammation, and apoptosis in the pathophysiology of tissue injuries. Due to the limitation of effective preventive and therapeutic measures against CP-induced toxicity, new strategies with potential cytoprotective effects have been studied. Therefore, this article is timely in reviewing the characteristics and main molecular mechanisms common to renal, hepatic, and cardiac toxicity previously described, in addition to addressing the main validated strategies for the current management of these adverse events in clinical practice. We also handle the main promising antioxidant substances recently presented in the literature to encourage the development of new research that consolidates their potential preventive and therapeutic effects against CP-induced cytotoxicity.

Podophyllotoxin via SIRT1/PPAR /NF-κB axis induced cardiac injury in rats based on the toxicological evidence chain (TEC) concept. PHYTOMEDICINE : INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF PHYTOTHERAPY AND PHYTOPHARMACOLOGY 2024; 130:155655.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The study of cardiotoxicity of drugs has become an important part of clinical safety evaluation of drugs. It is commonly known that podophyllotoxin (PPT) and its many derivatives and congeners are broad-spectrum pharmacologically active substances. Clinical cardiotoxicity of PPT and its derivatives has been raised, basic research on the mechanism of cardiotoxicity remains insufficient. PURPOSE In present study, our group's innovative concept of toxicological evidence chain (TEC) was applied to reveal the cardiac toxicity mechanism of PPT by targeted metabolomics, TMT-based quantitative proteomics and western blot. METHODS The injury phenotype evidence (IPE) acquired from the toxicity manifestations, such as weight and behavior observation of Sprague-Dawley rat. The damage to rat hearts were assessed through histopathological examination and myocardial enzymes levels, which were defined as Adverse Outcomes Evidence (AOE). The damage to rat hearts was assessed through histopathological examination and myocardial enzyme levels, which were defined as evidence of adverse outcomes.Overall measurements of targeted metabolomics based on energy metabolism and TMT-based quantitative proteomics were obtained after exposure to PPT to acquire the Toxic Event Evidence (TEE). The mechanism of cardiac toxicity was speculated based on the integrated analysis of targeted metabolomics and TMT-based quantitative proteomics, which was verified by western blot. RESULTS The results indicated that exposure to PPT could result in significant elevation of myocardial enzymes and pathological alterations in rat hearts. In addition, we found that PPT caused disorders in cardiac energy metabolism, characterized by a decrease in energy metabolism fuels. TMT-based quantitative proteomics revealed that the PPAR (Peroxisome proliferators-activated receptor) signaling pathway needs further study. It is worth noting that PPT may suppress the expression of SIRT1, subsequently inhibiting AMPK, decreasing the expression of PGC-1α, PPARα and PPARγ. This results in disorders of glucose oxidation, glycolysis and ketone body metabolism. Additionally, the increase in the expression of p-IKK and p-IκBα, leads to the nuclear translocation of NF-κB p65 from the cytosol, thus triggering inflammation. CONCLUSION This study comprehensively evaluated cardiac toxicity of PPT and initially revealed the mechanism of cardiotoxicity,suggesting that PPT induced disorders of energy metabolism and inflammation via SIRT1/PPAR/NF-κB axis, potentially contributing to cardiac injury.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Cardiotoxicity remains one of the most reported adverse drug reactions that lead to drug attrition during pre-clinical and clinical drug development. Drug-induced cardiotoxicity may develop as a functional change in cardiac electrophysiology (acute alteration of the mechanical function of the myocardium) and/or as a structural change, resulting in loss of viability and morphological damage to cardiac tissue. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS Non-clinical models with better predictive value need to be established to improve cardiac safety pharmacology. To this end, high-throughput RNA sequencing (ScreenSeq) was combined with high-content imaging (HCI) and Ca2+ transience (CaT) to analyze compound-treated human-induced pluripotent stem cell-derived cardiomyocytes (hiPSC-CMs). RESULTS Analysis of hiPSC-CMs treated with 33 cardiotoxicants and 9 non-cardiotoxicants of mixed therapeutic indications facilitated compound clustering by mechanism of action, scoring of pathway activities related to cardiomyocyte contractility, mitochondrial integrity, metabolic state, diverse stress responses and the prediction of cardiotoxicity risk. The combination of ScreenSeq, HCI and CaT provided a high cardiotoxicity prediction performance with 89% specificity, 91% sensitivity and 90% accuracy. CONCLUSIONS Overall, this study introduces mechanism-driven risk assessment approach combining structural, functional and molecular high-throughput methods for pre-clinical risk assessment of novel compounds.

Abstract
Brentuximab vedotin (BV) has obtained approval for the therapeutic management of classical Hodgkin lymphoma as well as systemic anaplastic large cell lymphoma. Given the inherent constraints of conventional clinical trials, the correlation between BV and cardiac adverse events (AEs) remains enigmatic. The objective of this investigation is to comprehensively assess cardiac AEs attributed to BV by employing advanced data mining techniques, utilizing the FDA Adverse Event Reporting System (FAERS). The indices for the assessment of disproportionality encompass the reporting odds ratio (ROR), the proportional reporting ratio, the information component, and the empirical Bayesian geometric mean. Employing these sophisticated metrics, we gauged the extent of disproportionate occurrences. The dataset was sourced from the FAERS from the first quarter of 2012 to first quarter of 2023, facilitating a comprehensive analysis of the potential correlation between BV and cardiac AEs. This scrutiny encompassed a comparative analysis of both cardiac and non-cardiac AEs. A total of 495 cases of BV's cardiac AEs were discerned, with the identification of 31 preferred terms (PTs). Among these, 8 PTs emerged as conspicuous signals of cardiac AEs, notably encompassing ventricular hypokinesia (ROR 7.59), tachyarrhythmia (ROR 7.06), sinus tachycardia (ROR 6.18), cardiopulmonary failure (ROR 4.44), pericardial effusion (ROR 4.32), acute coronary syndrome (ROR 4.02), cardiomyopathy (ROR 3.30), and tachycardia (ROR 2.76). The manifestation of severe outcomes demonstrates a discernible correlation with the cardiac AEs (P < 0.001). Our investigation furnishes invaluable insights for healthcare practitioners to proactively mitigate the incidence of BV-associated cardiac AEs.

NAUNYN-SCHMIEDEBERG'S ARCHIVES OF PHARMACOLOGY 2024; 397:4761-4769. [PMID: 38150016 DOI: 10.1007/s00210-023-02848-0] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/24/2023] [Accepted: 11/09/2023] [Indexed: 12/28/2023]
Abstract
Cisplatin (CP) is a chemotherapy drug used in a broad spectrum of cancer. The current study investigated the protective effect of vitamin D3 (vit-D3) on CP-induced cardiotoxicity. Forty-two male Balb-c mice (20-25 g) were divided into seven groups (GP), 6 per/group were included: GP1 was considered the control group, GP2 received a single dose of I.V. injection of cisplatin (10 mg/kg). Seven days before cisplatin injection on GP3 and GP4 as pre-treatment, vit-D3 was injected I.P. with the doses of 500 IU/kg and 1000 IU/kg, respectively. GP5 and GP6 were considered the treatment groups, were injected cisplatin (10 mg/kg, I.V), and 15 days later, received vit-D3 (500 IU/kg and 1000 IU/kg, I.P) for 7 days. GP7 was the positive control group, which received vit-D3 at a dose of 500 IU/kg (I.P.) for 7 days. Tissues samples and blood serum were collected for biochemical and histopathological investigations. CP injection significantly increased (p < 0.001) LDH, Troponin I, CK-MB, malondialdehyde (MDA), and nitric oxide (NO) levels, but total antioxidant capacity (TAC) levels were significantly reduced. Histological findings showed cardiac muscle rupture, myocardial fiber necrosis, edema, and pyknotic nuclei, indicating cardiac damage. In both pre-treatment and treatment protocol, vit-D3 could improve the histological and biochemical parameters and prevented from the CP toxicity. Vit-D3 significantly could prevent the CP cardiotoxicity in pre-treatment groups, and partially improve the damage of chemotherapy in treatment group. However, further research is necessary to establish the potential of vit-D3 in preventing or ameliorating cisplatin-induced cardiotoxicity.

Abstract
Recent advancements in personalized treatments, such as anthracycline chemotherapy, coupled with timely diagnoses, have contributed to a decrease in cancer-specific mortality rates and an improvement in cancer prognosis. Anthracyclines, a potent class of antibiotics, are extensively used as anticancer medications to treat a broad spectrum of tumors. Despite these advancements, a considerable number of cancer survivors face increased risks of treatment complications, particularly the cardiotoxic effects of chemotherapeutic drugs like anthracyclines. These effects can range from subclinical manifestations to severe consequences such as irreversible heart failure and death, highlighting the need for effective management of chemotherapy side effects for improved cancer care outcomes. Given the lack of specific treatments, early detection of subclinical cardiac events post-anthracycline therapy and the implementation of preventive strategies are vital. An interdisciplinary approach involving cardiovascular teams is crucial for the prevention and efficient management of anthracycline-induced cardiotoxicity. Various factors, such as age, gender, duration of treatment, and comorbidities, should be considered significant risk factors for developing chemotherapy-related cardiotoxicity. Tools such as electrocardiography, echocardiography, nuclear imaging, magnetic resonance imaging, histopathologic evaluations, and serum biomarkers should be appropriately used for the early detection of anthracycline-related cardiotoxicity. Furthermore, understanding the underlying biological mechanisms is key to developing preventive measures and personalized treatment strategies to mitigate anthracycline-induced cardiotoxicity. Exploring specific cardiotoxic mechanisms and identifying genetic variations can offer fresh perspectives on innovative, personalized treatments. This chapter aims to discuss cardiomyopathy following anthracycline therapy, with a focus on molecular mechanisms, preventive strategies, and emerging treatments.

Heart Lung Circ 2024; 33:747-752. [PMID: 38365500 DOI: 10.1016/j.hlc.2024.01.013] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/26/2023] [Revised: 12/23/2023] [Accepted: 01/01/2024] [Indexed: 02/18/2024]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Increased cancer survivorship represents a remarkable achievement for modern medicine. Unfortunately, cancer treatments have inadvertently contributed to cardiovascular (CV) damage, significantly threatening the health and quality of life of patients living with, through and beyond cancer. Without understanding the mechanisms, including whether the cardiotoxicity is due to the direct or indirect effects on cardiomyocytes, prevention and management of cardiotoxicity can pose challenges in many patients. To date, the cardiotoxicity profiles of most of the chemotherapy drugs are still poorly understood. AIM To conduct a pilot study to investigate the direct effects of a range of cancer therapies on cardiomyocyte viability. METHODS Primary human cardiomyocytes (HCM) were cultured and seeded into 96-well culture plates. A total of 35 different Food and Drug Administration-approved anti-cancer drugs were added to the HCM cells with a concentration of 1uM for 72 hours. The viability of HCMs was determined using CellTitre-Glo. The experiments were repeated at least three times for each drug with HCMs of different passages. RESULTS We identified 15 anti-cancer agents that significantly reduced HCM viability. These drugs were: (1) anthracyclines (daunorubicin [HCM viability, mean %±standard error, 13.7±3.2%], epirubicin [47.6±5.3%]), (2) antimetabolite (azacitidine [67.1±2.4%]), (3) taxanes (paclitaxel [60.2±3.0%]), (4) protein kinase inhibitors (lapatinib [49.8±7.0%], ponatinib [42.4±9.0%], pemigatinib [68.1±2.3%], sorafenib [52.9±10.6%], nilotinib [64.4±4.5%], dasatinib [38.5±3.6%]), (5) proteasome inhibitors (ixazomib citrate [65.4±7.2%]), (6) non-selective histone-deacetylase inhibitor (panobinostat [19.1±4.1%]), poly adenosine diphosphate-ribose polymerase inhibitor (olaparib [68.2±1.7%]) and (7) vinca alkaloids (vincristine [44.6±7.4%], vinblastine [31.2±3.9%]). CONCLUSIONS In total, 15 of the 35 commercially available anti-cancer drugs have direct cardiotoxic effects on HCM. Some of those, have not been associated with clinical cardiotoxicity, while others, known to be cardiotoxic do not appear to mediate it via direct effects on cardiomyocytes. More detailed investigations of the effects of cancer therapies on various cardiovascular cells should be performed to comprehensively determine the mechanisms of cardiotoxicity.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Anthracyclines can cause left ventricular (LV) dysfunction. There is little data about right ventricular (RV) damage during chemotherapy. AIM This study aimed to investigate the toxic effects of chemotherapy, analyzing its impact on right ventricular function. MATERIAL AND METHODS A prospective study was conducted, enrolling 83 female patients (55 ± 11 years old) affected by breast cancer treated with anthracyclines. Cardiological evaluation, HFA risk score assessment and comprehensive echocardiogram, including speckle tracking analysis and 3D analysis, were performed before starting chemotherapy (T0) and at 3 (T1), 6 (T2) and 12 months (T3) after beginning treatment. RV function was assessed with tricuspid annular plane excursion (TAPSE), S' wave of the tricuspid annulus, fractional area change (FAC), RV global longitudinal strain (RV-GLS), free wall strain (RV-FWLS) and RV 3D ejection fraction (RV-3DEF). Subclinical LV CTRCD was defined as a reduction of GLS > 15% compared to baseline. Subclinical RV cardiotoxicity was defined as the co-presence of a relative decrease of 10% from baseline in RV-3DEF and a relative reduction of 15% from baseline RV-FWLS. RESULTS After chemotherapy, we found a significant reduction in 2D-LVEF (p = < 0.001) and 3D-LVEF (p = < 0.001), in LV-GLS and RVLS (p = < 0.001), in FAC and TAPSE, also RV-3DEF reduced significantly (p = 0.002). 39% of patients developed LV subclinical CTRCD; 28% of patients developed RV subclinical cardiotoxicity. LV and RV changes occurred concomitantly, and no RV echocardiographic parameters were found to predict the development of LV CTRCD and vice-versa. CONCLUSION After anthracyclines-based chemotherapy, LV and RV subclinical damage occurs, and it can be detected early by speckle-tracking and 3D echocardiography.

Cell Stress Chaperones 2024; 29:349-357. [PMID: 38485043 PMCID: PMC10999808 DOI: 10.1016/j.cstres.2024.03.003] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/22/2023] [Accepted: 03/09/2024] [Indexed: 04/05/2024] Open
Abstract
This comprehensive review delves into the pivotal role of mitochondria in doxorubicin-induced cardiotoxicity, a significant complication limiting the clinical use of this potent anthracycline chemotherapeutic agent. Doxorubicin, while effective against various malignancies, is associated with dose-dependent cardiotoxicity, potentially leading to irreversible cardiac damage. The review meticulously dissects the molecular mechanisms underpinning this cardiotoxicity, particularly focusing on mitochondrial dysfunction, a central player in this adverse effect. Central to the discussion is the concept of mitochondrial quality control, including mitochondrial dynamics (fusion/fission balance) and mitophagy. The review presents evidence linking aberrations in these processes to cardiotoxicity in doxorubicin-treated patients. It elucidates how doxorubicin disrupts mitochondrial dynamics, leading to an imbalance between mitochondrial fission and fusion, and impairs mitophagy, culminating in the accumulation of dysfunctional mitochondria and subsequent cardiac cell damage. Furthermore, the review explores emerging therapeutic strategies targeting mitochondrial dysfunction. It highlights the potential of modulating mitochondrial dynamics and enhancing mitophagy to mitigate doxorubicin-induced cardiac damage. These strategies include pharmacological interventions with mitochondrial fission inhibitors, fusion promoters, and agents that modulate mitophagy. The review underscores the promising results from preclinical studies while advocating for more extensive clinical trials to validate these approaches in human patients. In conclusion, this review offers valuable insights into the intricate relationship between mitochondrial dysfunction and doxorubicin-mediated cardiotoxicity. It underscores the need for continued research into targeted mitochondrial therapies as a means to improve the cardiac safety profile of doxorubicin, thereby enhancing the overall treatment outcomes for cancer patients.

Abstract
Most patients with lung cancer are smokers and are of advanced age. They are therefore at high risk of having age- and lifestyle-related comorbidities. These comorbidities are subject to treatment or even polypharmacy. There is growing evidence of a link between lung cancer, comorbidities and medications. The relationships between these entities are complex. The presence of comorbidities and their treatments influence the time of cancer diagnosis, as well as the diagnostic and treatment strategy. On the other hand, cancer treatment may have an impact on the patient's comorbidities such as renal failure, pneumonitis or endocrinopathies. This review highlights how some comorbidities may have an impact on lung cancer presentation and may require treatment adjustments. Reciprocal influences between the treatment of comorbidities and anticancer therapy will also be discussed.

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.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Ifosfamide is an alkylating chemotherapeutic agent used in the treatment of various neoplasms. Its main adverse effects include renal damage. AREAS COVERED A comprehensive review was conducted, including 100 articles from the Scielo, Scopus, and EMBASE databases. Ifosfamide-induced nephrotoxicity is attributed to its toxic metabolites, such as acrolein and chloroacetaldehyde, which cause mitochondrial damage and oxidative stress in renal tubular cells. Literature review found a 29-year average age with no gender predominance and a mortality of 13%. Currently, no fully effective strategy exists for preventing ifosfamide-induced nephrotoxicity; however, hydration, forced diuresis, and other interventions are employed to limit renal damage. Long-term renal function monitoring is essential for patients treated with ifosfamide. EXPERT OPINION Ifosfamide remains essential in neoplasm treatment, but nephrotoxicity, often compounded by coadministered drugs, poses diagnostic challenges. Preventive strategies are lacking, necessitating further research. Identifying timely risk factors can mitigate renal damage, and a multidisciplinary approach manages established nephrotoxicity. Emerging therapies may reduce ifosfamide induced nephrotoxicity.

Abstract
AIM The goal of the current study was to examine the potential therapeutic effects of sodium acetate on cardiac toxicities caused by cyclophosphamide in Wistar rats. The possible involvement of NF-kB/caspase 3 signaling was also explored. MAIN METHODS Thirty-two male Wistar rats were divided into four groups at random. (n = 8). The control animals received 0.5 mL of distilled water orally for 14 days, the acetate-treated group received 200 mg/kg/day of sodium acetate orally for 14 consecutive days, and cyclophosphamide-treated rats received 150 mg/kg /day of cyclophosphamide i.p. on day 8, while cyclophosphamide + acetate group received sodium acetate and cyclophosphamide as earlier stated. KEY FINDINGS Results showed that cyclophosphamide-induced cardiotoxicity, which manifested as a marked drop in body and cardiac weights as well as cardiac weight/tibial length, increased levels of troponin, C-reactive protein, lactate, and creatinine kinase, and lactate dehydrogenase activities in the plasma and cardiac tissue. Histopathological examination also revealed toxic cardiac histopathological changes. These alterations were associated with a significant increase in xanthine oxidase and myeloperoxidase activities, uric acid, malondialdehyde, TNF-α, IL-1β, NFkB, DNA fragmentation, and caspase 3 and caspase 9 activities in addition to a marked decline in Nrf2 and GSH levels, and SOD and catalase activities in the cardiac tissue. Acetate co-administration significantly attenuated cyclophosphamide cardiotoxicity by its antioxidant effect, preventing NFkB activation and caspase 9/caspase 3 signalings. SIGNIFICANCE This study shows that acetate co-administration may have cardio-protective effects against cyclophosphamide-induced cardiotoxicity by inhibiting NF-kB signaling and suppressing caspase-3-dependent apoptosis.

Abstract
Purine nucleotides play central roles in energy metabolism in the heart. Most fundamentally, the free energy of hydrolysis of the adenine nucleotide adenosine triphosphate (ATP) provides the thermodynamic driving force for numerous cellular processes including the actin-myosin crossbridge cycle. Perturbations to ATP supply and/or demand in the myocardium lead to changes in the homeostatic balance between purine nucleotide synthesis, degradation, and salvage, potentially affecting myocardial energetics and, consequently, myocardial mechanics. Indeed, both acute myocardial ischemia and decompensatory remodeling of the myocardium in heart failure are associated with depletion of myocardial adenine nucleotides and with impaired myocardial mechanical function. Yet there remain gaps in the understanding of mechanistic links between adenine nucleotide degradation and contractile dysfunction in heart disease. The scope of this article is to: (i) review current knowledge of the pathways of purine nucleotide depletion and salvage in acute ischemia and in chronic heart disease; (ii) review hypothesized mechanisms linking myocardial mechanics and energetics with myocardial adenine nucleotide regulation; and (iii) highlight potential targets for treating myocardial metabolic and mechanical dysfunction associated with these pathways. It is hypothesized that an imbalance in the degradation, salvage, and synthesis of adenine nucleotides leads to a net loss of adenine nucleotides in both acute ischemia and under chronic high-demand conditions associated with the development of heart failure. This reduction in adenine nucleotide levels results in reduced myocardial ATP and increased myocardial inorganic phosphate. Both of these changes have the potential to directly impact tension development and mechanical work at the cellular level. © 2024 American Physiological Society. Compr Physiol 14:5345-5369, 2024.

Abstract
Children, adolescents, and young adult cancer survivors (CAYAs) constitute a growing population requiring a customized approach to mitigate the incidence of severe complications throughout their lifetimes. During cancer treatment, CAYAs cancer survivors undergo significant disruptions in their nutritional status, elevating the risks of mortality, morbidity, and cardiovascular events. The assessment of nutritional status during cancer treatment involves anthropometric and dietary evaluations, emphasizing the necessity for regular assessments and the timely identification of risk factors. Proactive nutritional interventions, addressing both undernutrition and overnutrition, should be tailored to specific age groups and incorporate a family-centered approach. Despite encouraging interventions, a notable evidence gap persists. The goal of this review is to comprehensively examine the existing evidence on potential nutritional interventions for CAYAs cancer survivors. We explore the evidence so far collected on the nutritional intervention strategies elaborated for CAYAs cancer survivors that should target both undernutrition and overnutrition, being age-specific and involving a family-based approach. Furthermore, we suggest harnessing artificial intelligence (AI) to anticipate and prevent malnutrition in CAYAs cancer survivors, contributing to the identification of novel risk factors and promoting proactive, personalized healthcare.

Abstract
RL2 (recombinant lactaptin 2), a recombinant analogon of the human milk protein Κ-Casein, induces mitophagy and cell death in breast carcinoma cells. Furthermore, RL2 was shown to enhance extrinsic apoptosis upon long-term treatment while inhibiting it upon short-term stimulation. However, the effects of RL2 on the action of chemotherapeutic drugs that induce the intrinsic apoptotic pathway have not been investigated to date. Here, we examined the effects of RL2 on the doxorubicin (DXR)-induced cell death in breast cancer cells with three different backgrounds. In particular, we used BT549 and MDA-MB-231 triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) cells, T47D estrogen receptor alpha (ERα) positive cells, and SKBR3 human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2) positive cells. BT549, MDA-MB-231, and T47D cells showed a severe loss of cell viability upon RL2 treatment, accompanied by the induction of mitophagy. Furthermore, BT549, MDA-MB-231, and T47D cells could be sensitized towards DXR treatment with RL2, as evidenced by loss of cell viability. In contrast, SKBR3 cells showed almost no RL2-induced loss of cell viability when treated with RL2 alone, and RL2 did not sensitize SKBR3 cells towards DXR-mediated loss of cell viability. Bioinformatic analysis of gene expression showed an enrichment of genes controlling metabolism in SKBR3 cells compared to the other cell lines. This suggests that the metabolic status of the cells is important for their sensitivity to RL2. Taken together, we have shown that RL2 can enhance the intrinsic apoptotic pathway in TNBC and ERα-positive breast cancer cells, paving the way for the development of novel therapeutic strategies.

Abstract
Cardiotoxicity is a common side-effect of many cancer therapeutics; however, to-date there has been very little push to understand the mechanisms underlying this group of pathologies. This has led to the emergence of cardio-oncology, a field of medicine focused on understanding the effects of cancer and its treatment on the human heart. Here, we describe how mechanistic modeling approaches have been applied to study open questions in the cardiovascular system and how these approaches are being increasingly applied to advance knowledge of the underlying effects of cancer treatments on the human heart. A variety of mechanistic, mathematical modeling techniques have been applied to explore the link between common cancer treatments, such as chemotherapy, radiation, targeted therapy, and immunotherapy, and cardiotoxicity, nevertheless there is limited coverage in the different types of cardiac dysfunction that may be associated with these treatments. Moreover, cardiac modeling has a rich heritage of mathematical modeling and is well suited for the further development of novel approaches for understanding the cardiotoxicities associated with cancer therapeutics. There are many opportunities to combine mechanistic, bottom-up approaches with data-driven, top-down approaches to improve personalized, precision oncology to better understand, and ultimately mitigate, cardiac dysfunction in cancer patients.

Abstract
Heart failure (HF) prevention is an urgent public health need with national and global implications. Stage A HF patients do not show HF symptoms or structural heart disease but are at risk of HF development. There are no unique recommendations on detecting Stage A patients. Patients in Stage A are heterogeneous; many patients have different combinations of risk factors and, therefore, have markedly different absolute risks for HF. Comprehensive strategies to prevent HF at Stage A include intensive blood pressure lowering, adequate glycemic and lipid management, and heart-healthy behaviors (adopting Life's Essential 8). First and foremost, it is imperative to improve public awareness of HF risk factors and implement healthy lifestyle choices very early. In addition, recognize the HF risk-enhancing factors, which are nontraditional cardiovascular (CV) risk factors that identify individuals at high risk for HF (genetic susceptibility for HF, atrial fibrillation, chronic kidney disease, chronic liver disease, chronic inflammatory disease, sleep-disordered breathing, adverse pregnancy outcomes, radiation therapy, a history of cardiotoxic chemotherapy exposure, and COVID-19). Early use of biomarkers, imaging markers, and echocardiography (noninvasive measures of subclinical systolic and diastolic dysfunction) may enhance risk prediction among individuals without established CV disease and prevent chemotherapy-induced cardiomyopathy. Efforts are needed to address social determinants of HF risk for primordial HF prevention.Central illustrationPolicies developed by organizations such as the American Heart Association, American College of Cardiology, and the American Diabetes Association to reduce CV disease events must go beyond secondary prevention and encompass primordial and primary prevention.

PEG-modified carbon-based nanoparticles as tumor-targeted drug delivery system reducing doxorubicin-induced cardiotoxicity. Biomed Pharmacother 2023; 168:115836.

Abstract
Herein, a doxorubicin-loaded carbon-based drug delivery system, denoted as PC-DOX, composed of pH-responsive imine bond was developed for the tumor-targeted treatment. PC-DOX with a uniform particle size around 180 nm was synthesized by coating of as-synthesized hollow carbon-based nanoparticles (NPs) with dialdehyde PEG, which was used as carrier to attach DOX covalently through dynamic covalent bond. The unique structure endowed the advantages of specific tumor targeting and tumor microenvironment (TME) specific drug delivery capacity with PC-DOX. For the one hand, the tumor targeting caused by the enhanced permeability and retention (EPR) effect could significantly improve the tumor cellular uptake. For the other hand, the pH-responsiveness could realize the effective DOX accumulation in tumor tissues, avoiding the unwanted side effect to the normal tissues. As a result, PC-DOX with high DOX loading capacity (70.12%) and excellent biocompatibility, concurrently, presented a significant anti-tumor effect at a low mass concentration (DOX equivalent dose: 20 μg/mL). Another attractive characteristic of PC-DOX was the remarkable protective effect towards DOX-induced cardiotoxicity, which could be clearly observed from in vitro cellular, and animal assays. Compared with free DOX, the cardiomyocyte viability increased by average 30.58%, and the heart function was also significantly improved. This novel drug delivery nanoplatform provides a new method for the future clinical application of DOX in the cancer's therapeutics.

Abstract
PURPOSE Tissue-specific drug uptake has not been well studied, compared to the deeper understanding of drug resistance mediated by the cellular efflux system such as MDR1 proteins. It has been suggested that many drugs need active or defined transporters to pass the cell membrane. In contrast to efflux components induced after anti-cancer drugs reach the intracellular compartment, drug importers are required for initial drug responses. Furthermore, tissue-specific uptake of anti-cancer drugs may directly impact the side effects of many drugs when they accumulate in healthy tissues. Therefore, linking anti-cancer drugs to their respective drug import transporters would directly help to predict drug responses, whilst minimizing side effects. METHODS To identify drug transporters of the commonly used anti-cancer drug doxorubicin, we performed focused CRISPR activation and knockout genetic screens targeting all potential membrane-associated transporters and proteins. We monitored the direct uptake of doxorubicin by fluorescence-activated cell sorting (FACS) as the screening readout for identifying transporters/proteins directly involved in doxorubicin uptake. RESULTS Integrating the data from these comprehensive CRISPR screenings, we confirmed previously indicated doxorubicin exporters such as ABCB1 and ABCG2 genes, and identified novel doxorubicin importer gene SLC2A3 (GLUT3). Upregulation of SLC2A3 led to higher doxorubicin uptake and better cell killing, indicating SLC2A3 could be a new marker to predict doxorubicin drug response and minimize side effects for the personalized application of this conventional chemotherapeutic drug. CONCLUSIONS Our study provides a comprehensive way for identifying drug transporters, as exemplified by the commonly used anti-cancer drug doxorubicin. The newly identified importers may have direct clinical implications for the personalized application of doxorubicin in treating distinct tumors. Our results also highlight the necessity of combining both CRISPR knockout and CRISPR activation genetic screens to identify drug transporters.

Abstract
Introduction: Etoposide is a broad-spectrum antitumor drug that has been extensively studied in clinical trials. However, limited information is available regarding its real-world adverse reactions. Therefore, this study aimed to assess and evaluate etoposide-related adverse events in a real-world setting by using data mining method on the U.S. Food and Drug Administration Adverse Event Reporting System (FAERS) database. Methods: Through the analysis of 16,134,686 reports in the FAERS database, a total of 9,892 reports of etoposide-related adverse drug events (ADEs) were identified. To determine the significance of these ADEs, various disproportionality analysis algorithms were applied, including the reporting odds ratio (ROR), the proportional reporting ratio (PRR), the Bayesian confidence propagation neural network (BCPNN), and the multi-item gamma Poisson shrinker (MGPS) algorithms. Results: As a result, 478 significant disproportionality preferred terms (PTs) that were identified by all four algorithms were retained. These PTs included commonly reported adverse events such as thrombocytopenia, leukopenia, anemia, stomatitis, and pneumonitis, which align with those documented in the drug's instructions and previous clinical trials. However, our analysis also uncovered unexpected and significant ADEs, including thrombotic microangiopathy, ototoxicity, second primary malignancy, nephropathy toxic, and ovarian failure. Furthermore, we examined the time-to-onset (TTO) of these ADEs using the Weibull distribution test and found that the median TTO for etoposide-associated ADEs was 10 days (interquartile range [IQR] 2-32 days). The majority of cases occurred within the first month (73.8%) after etoposide administration. Additionally, our analysis revealed specific high-risk signals for males, such as pneumonia and cardiac infarction, while females showed signals for drug resistance and ototoxicity. Discussion: These findings provide valuable insight into the occurrence of ADEs following etoposide initiation, which can potentially support clinical monitoring and risk identification efforts.

Abstract
Cardiovascular toxicity is an important cause of drug failures in the later stages of drug development, early clinical safety assessment, and even postmarket withdrawals. Early-stage in vitro assessment of potential cardiovascular liabilities in the pharmaceutical industry involves assessment of interactions with cardiac ion channels, as well as induced pluripotent stem cell-derived cardiomyocyte-based functional assays, such as calcium flux and multielectrode-array assays. These methods are appropriate for the identification of acute functional cardiotoxicity but structural cardiotoxicity, which manifests effects after chronic exposure, is often only captured in vivo. CardioMotion is a novel, label-free, high throughput, in vitro assay and analysis pipeline which records and assesses the spontaneous beating of cardiomyocytes and identifies compounds which impact beating. This is achieved through the acquisition of brightfield images at a high framerate, combined with an optical flow-based python analysis pipeline which transforms the images into waveform data which are then parameterized. Validation of this assay with a large dataset showed that cardioactive compounds with diverse known direct functional and structural mechanisms-of-action on cardiomyocytes are identified (sensitivity = 72.9%), importantly, known structural cardiotoxins also disrupt cardiomyocyte beating (sensitivity = 86%) in this method. Furthermore, the CardioMotion method presents a high specificity of 82.5%.

Extensive Cardiac Function Analyses Using Contemporary Echocardiography in Childhood Cancer Survivors: A DCCSS LATER Study. JACC CardioOncol 2023; 5:472-485. [PMID: 37614574 PMCID: PMC10443197 DOI: 10.1016/j.jaccao.2023.06.003] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/25/2023] [Revised: 06/07/2023] [Accepted: 06/12/2023] [Indexed: 08/25/2023] Open
Abstract
Background Childhood cancer survivors (CCS) are at risk for cardiotoxicity. Objectives We sought to assess how cardiac dysfunction measurements in CCS overlap and are differentially influenced by risk factors. Methods This cross-sectional Dutch Childhood Cancer Survivor Study evaluated echocardiograms of 1,397 ≥5-year CCS and 277 siblings. Of CCS, n = 1,254 received cardiotoxic (anthracyclines/mitoxantrone/radiotherapy involving the heart region [RTheart]) and n = 143 received potentially cardiotoxic (cyclophosphamide, ifosfamide, or vincristine) therapy. We assessed demographic, treatment-related, and traditional cardiovascular risk factors for cardiac dysfunction using multivariable logistic regression. Results CCS were a median of 26.7 years after diagnosis; 49% were women. Abnormal left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) (defined as <52% in men, <54% in women) occurred most commonly in CCS treated with anthracyclines and RTheart combined (38%). Age/sex-specific abnormal global longitudinal strain (GLS) occurred most commonly in CCS treated with RTheart, either with (41%) or without (38%) anthracyclines. Of CCS with normal LVEF, 20.2% showed abnormal GLS. Diastolic dysfunction grade ≥II was rare. Abnormal LVEF was mainly associated with female sex, anthracycline dose, and only in women, RTheart dose. Abnormal GLS was associated with female sex, RTheart dose, diastolic blood pressure, and only in women, anthracycline dose. Cyclophosphamide, ifosfamide, and vincristine were not associated with LVEF or GLS. Compared with siblings, CCS showed higher risk of abnormal LVEF (OR: 2.9; 95% CI: 1.4-6.6) and GLS (OR: 2.1; 95% CI: 1.2-3.7), independent of (potentially) cardiotoxic treatment-related and cardiovascular risk factors. Conclusions Abnormal LVEF and GLS constitute complementary measures of systolic dysfunction among long-term CCS. Their diagnostic value may differ according to cardiotoxic exposures. Also, CCS have residual, unexplained risk of cardiac dysfunction. (Early Detection of Cardiac Dysfunction in Childhood Cancer Survivors, a DCOG LATER study; NTR7481).

Abstract
PURPOSE To describe the management and outcome of critically-ill patients with Cyclophosphamide (CY)-associated cardiac toxicity. METHODS All patients admitted to the intensive care units (ICUs) of the Nantes and Rennes University Hospitals for a CY-associated cardiac toxicity between January 2015 and December 2020 were included. RESULTS Of the thirty-four patients included in the study, twenty-four (70%) underwent allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT), four (12%) autologous HSCT, and six (18%) chemotherapy for hematological malignancies. Acute pulmonary edema (65%), cardiac arrest (9%), and cardiac arrhythmia (6%) were the most common reasons for ICU admission. Patients were admitted to the ICU 6.5 (4-12) days after the intravenous administration of a median dose of CY of 100 [60-101] mg/Kg. Echocardiographic findings showed moderate to severe left ventricular systolic dysfunction (69%) and pericardial effusion (52%). Eighteen (53%) patients ultimately developed cardiogenic shock and required vasopressors (47%) and/or inotropes (18%). Invasive mechanical ventilation and renal replacement therapy were required in twenty (59%) and five (14%) patients, respectively. Sixteen (47%) patients died of whom 12 (35.3%) died from refractory cardiogenic shock. The left ventricular ejection fraction improved over time in most survivors with a median time until full recovery of 33 (12-62) days. Two (11%) patients had a persistent left ventricular dysfunction at 6 months. CONCLUSION Refractory cardiogenic shock is the primary cause of death of patients with severe CY-related cardiotoxicity. Nonetheless, the cardiac function of most survivors recovered within a month.

Abstract
It is more likely that a long-term survivor will have both cardiovascular disease and cancer on account of the progress in cancer therapy. Cardiotoxicity is a well-recognized and highly concerning adverse effect of cancer therapies. This side effect can manifest in a proportion of cancer patients and may lead to the discontinuation of potentially life-saving anticancer treatment regimens. Consequently, this discontinuation may adversely affect the patient's survival prognosis. There are various underlying mechanisms by which each anticancer treatment affects the cardiovascular system. Similarly, the incidence of cardiovascular events varies with different protocols for malignant tumors. In the future, comprehensive cardiovascular risk assessment and clinical monitoring should be considered for cancer treatments. Baseline cardiovascular evaluation risk should be emphasized prior to initiating clinical therapy in patients. Additionally, we highlight that there is a need for cardio-oncology to avoid or prevent cardiovascular side effects. Cardio-oncology service is based on identifying cardiotoxicity, developing strategies to reduce these toxicities, and minimizing long-term cardiotoxic effects.

Abstract
Oncologic patients are subjected to four major treatment types: surgery, radiotherapy, chemotherapy, and immunotherapy. All nonsurgical forms of cancer management are known to potentially violate the structural and functional integrity of the cardiovascular system. The prevalence and severity of cardiotoxicity and vascular abnormalities led to the emergence of a clinical subdiscipline, called cardiooncology. This relatively new, but rapidly expanding area of knowledge, primarily focuses on clinical observations linking the adverse effects of cancer therapy with deteriorated quality of life of cancer survivors and their increased morbidity and mortality. Cellular and molecular determinants of these relations are far less understood, mainly because of several unsolved paths and contradicting findings in the literature. In this article, we provide a comprehensive view of the cellular and molecular etiology of cardiooncology. We pay particular attention to various intracellular processes that arise in cardiomyocytes, vascular endothelial cells, and smooth muscle cells treated in experimentally-controlled conditions in vitro and in vivo with ionizing radiation and drugs representing diverse modes of anti-cancer activity.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE Breast cancer patients treated with adriamycin-cyclophosphamide plus paclitaxel (AC-T) are often challenged with serious adverse effects for which no effective therapies are available. Here, we investigated whether metformin, an antidiabetic drug with additional pleiotropic effects could favourably offset AC-T induced toxicities. PATIENTS AND METHODS Seventy non-diabetic breast cancer patients were randomised to receive either AC-T (adriamycin 60 mg/m2 + cyclophosphamide 600 mg/m2 × 4 cycles Q21 days, followed by weekly paclitaxel 80 mg/m2 × 12 cycles) alone or AC-T plus metformin (1700 mg/day). Patients were assessed regularly after each cycle to record the incidence and severity of adverse events based on the National Cancer Institute Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (NCI-CTCAE), version 5.0. Moreover, baseline echocardiography and ultrasonography were done and repeated after the end of neoadjuvant therapy. RESULTS Addition of metformin to AC-T resulted in significantly less incidence and severity of peripheral neuropathy, oral mucositis, and fatigue (p < 0.05) compared to control arm. Moreover, the left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF%) in the control arm dropped from a mean of 66.69 ± 4.57 to 62.2 ± 5.22% (p = 0.0004) versus a preserved cardiac function in the metformin arm (64.87 ± 4.84 to 65.94 ± 3.44%, p = 0.2667). Furthermore, fatty liver incidence was significantly lower in metformin compared with control arm (8.33% vs 51.85%, p = 0.001). By contrast, haematological disturbances caused by AC-T were preserved after concurrent metformin administration (p > 0.05). CONCLUSION Metformin offers a therapeutic opportunity for controlling toxicities caused by neoadjuvant chemotherapy in non-diabetic breast cancer patients. TRIAL REGISTRATION This randomised controlled trial was registered on November 20, 2019 in ClinicalTrials.gov under registration number: NCT04170465.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Epidemiological research on late effects of therapy shows the necessity to aggregate chemotherapy agents to substance classes. This requires using conversion factors by substance classes. AIMS The aim of this study was to identify previously used conversion factors from the literature, to present a novel approach for additional factors, and to compare these approaches. METHODS AND RESULTS A literature review was performed, which identified two main principles of deriving conversion factors: effect-equivalence and equimolar. Thirty-five articles presenting effect equivalence-based factors in the widest sense were found in the literature. Ten articles presented the equimolar approach which can be applied to almost all chemotherapy substances. Based on a comprehensive list of treatment protocols used in German pediatric oncology, we derived alternative conversion factors from typical doses. We compared the conversion factors using Pearson correlation coefficients and linear regression. At least two types of conversion factor were available for each of the 49 substances included. The equivalent effect-based and the typical dose-based factors were highly correlated with a regression coefficient close to 1. The equimolar factors are independent. CONCLUSIONS For substances for which no conversion factor based on some type of effect equivalence has been published so far, a factor based on a typical doses-approach may be used in epidemiological late effects research. Doses aggregated based on the equimolar approach may not be compatible with doses aggregated based on equivalent effects.

Abstract
As medicine advances to employ sophisticated anticancer agents to treat a vast array of oncological conditions, it is worth considering side effects associated with several chemotherapeutics. One adverse effect observed with several classes of chemotherapy agents is cardiotoxicity which leads to reduced ejection fraction (EF), cardiac arrhythmias, hypertension and Ischemia/myocardial infarction that can significantly impact the quality of life and patient outcomes. Research into possible mechanisms has elucidated several mechanisms, such as ROS generation, calcium overload and apoptosis. However, there is a relative scarcity of literature detailing the relationship between the exact mechanism of cardiotoxicity for each anticancer agent and observed clinical effects. This review comprehensively describes cardiotoxicity associated with various classes of anticancer agents and possible mechanisms. Further research exploring possible mechanisms for cardiotoxicity observed with anticancer agents could provide valuable insight into susceptibility for developing symptoms and management guidelines.

[PMID: 37123659 PMCID: PMC10141456 DOI: 10.1093/ehjcr/ytad185] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/03/2022] [Revised: 04/08/2023] [Accepted: 04/12/2023] [Indexed: 05/02/2023]
Abstract
Background Chemotherapy of acute myeloid leukaemia (AML) can cause a broad spectrum of cardiotoxic effects. Cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) is key for the diagnosis of eosinophilic myocarditis (EM) defined by the presence of sub-endocardial necrosis and fibrosis. This case report describes the picture of severe triple-vessel ischaemia due to infiltration of eosinophilia without atherosclerotic coronary artery disease (CAD). Case summary A 57-year-old woman was diagnosed with AML requiring chemotherapy. Three days after initiation of chemotherapy, the patient presented with chest pain and new left ventricular (LV) dysfunction and hyper-eosinophilia. A CMR examination initially was compatible with severe triple-vessel ischaemia. Tissue characterization by CMR was not done due to severe dyspnoea promoting the differential diagnosis of triple-vessel CAD or chemotherapy-induced triple-vessel coronary spasm. However, invasive coronary angiography excluded obstructive CAD. Severe LV dysfunction and troponin elevation persisted arguing against coronary vasospasm. Chemotherapy induced a massive increase in blood eosinophils, and EM was considered as most likely diagnosis. Immunosuppressive treatment improved the patient's status and a CMR later on confirmed the diagnosis of EM. Discussion Chemotherapy-induced massive eosinophilia can cause widespread coronary micro-vascular infiltration mimicking severe triple-vessel CAD. Early CMR did not evaluate tissue composition, and EM was not considered which delayed adequate treatment. A complete CMR assessment is key to establish the correct diagnosis.

Redefining the Incidence and Profile of Fluoropyrimidine-Associated Cardiotoxicity in Cancer Patients: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis. Pharmaceuticals (Basel) 2023; 16:ph16040510. [PMID: 37111268 PMCID: PMC10146083 DOI: 10.3390/ph16040510] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/10/2023] [Revised: 03/14/2023] [Accepted: 03/21/2023] [Indexed: 04/01/2023] Open
Abstract
Aim: The cardiac toxicity that occurs during administration of anti-tumor agents has attracted increasing concern. Fluoropyrimidines have been used for more than half a century, but their cardiotoxicity has not been well clarified. In this study, we aimed to assess the incidence and profile of fluoropyrimidine-associated cardiotoxicity (FAC) comprehensively based on literature data. Methods: A systematic literature search was performed using PubMed, Embase, Medline, Web of Science, and Cochrane library databases and clinical trials on studies investigating FAC. The main outcome was a pooled incidence of FAC, and the secondary outcome was specific treatment-related cardiac AEs. Random or fixed effects modeling was used for pooled meta-analyses according to the heterogeneity assessment. PROSPERO registration number: (CRD42021282155). Results: A total of 211 studies involving 63,186 patients were included, covering 31 countries or regions in the world. The pooled incidence of FAC, by meta-analytic, was 5.04% for all grades and 1.5% for grade 3 or higher. A total of 0.29% of patients died due to severe cardiotoxicities. More than 38 cardiac AEs were identified, with cardiac ischemia (2.24%) and arrhythmia (1.85%) being the most frequent. We further performed the subgroup analyses and meta-regression to explore the source of heterogeneity, and compare the cardiotoxicity among different study-level characteristics, finding that the incidence of FAC varied significantly among different publication decades, country/regions, and genders. Patients with esophagus cancer had the highest risk of FAC (10.53%), while breast cancer patients had the lowest (3.66%). The treatment attribute, regimen, and dosage were significantly related to FAC. When compared with chemotherapeutic drugs or targeted agents, such a risk was remarkably increased (χ2 = 10.15, p < 0.01; χ2 = 10.77, p < 0.01). The continuous 5-FU infusion for 3–5 consecutive days with a high dosage produced the highest FAC incidence (7.3%) compared with other low-dose administration patterns. Conclusions: Our study provides comprehensive global data on the incidence and profile of FAC. Different cancer types and treatment appear to have varying cardiotoxicities. Combination therapy, high cumulative dose, addition of anthracyclines, and pre-existing heart disease potentially increase the risk of FAC.

Capsaicin Ameliorates the Cyclophosphamide-Induced Cardiotoxicity by Inhibiting Free Radicals Generation, Inflammatory Cytokines, and Apoptotic Pathway in Rats. Life (Basel) 2023; 13:life13030786. [PMID: 36983940 PMCID: PMC10056591 DOI: 10.3390/life13030786] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/14/2023] [Revised: 03/02/2023] [Accepted: 03/11/2023] [Indexed: 03/17/2023] Open
Abstract
Cyclophosphamide is an antineoplastic agent that has a broad range of therapeutic applications; however, it has numerous side effects, including cardiotoxicity. Furthermore, chili peppers contain a substance called capsaicin, having antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects. Thus, this research paper focuses on the potential mechanism of capsaicin’s cardioprotective activity against cyclophosphamide-induced cardiotoxicity by measuring the expression of oxidative and inflammatory marker such as interleukins and caspases. The following groups of rats were randomly assigned: only vehicle given for 6 days (control group); cyclophosphamide 200 mg/kg intraperitoneal on 4th day only (positive control group); capsaicin 10 mg/kg orally given for 6 days followed by cyclophosphamide 200 mg/kg on 4th day of treatment; capsaicin 20 mg/kg orally for six days followed by cyclophosphamide 200 mg/kg on 4th day of treatment; and maximum amount of capsaicin alone (20 mg/kg) orally for six days. Using ELISA kits, it was found that the cyclophosphamide administration significantly increased the levels of lactate dehydrogenase, troponin-I (cardiac cell damage marker), lipid peroxidation, triglyceride, interleukin-6, tumor necrosis factor-alpha, and caspase 3. However, it markedly reduced the antioxidant enzymes catalase and glutathione levels. Both doses of capsaicin could reverse cardiac cell damage markers, as shown by a significant decline in (lactate dehydrogenase and troponin-I). In addition, capsaicin significantly reduced the cytokine levels (interleukin-6 and tumor necrosis factor-alpha), caspase 3, lipid peroxidation, and triglycerides. However, capsaicin treatment significantly raised the antioxidant content of enzymes such as glutathione and catalase. The capsaicin-treated group restored the oxidative parameter’s imbalance and generated considerable protection against cardiomyocyte harm from cyclophosphamide in male Wistar rats. These protective effects might be beneficial against the negative impacts of cyclophosphamide when used to treat cancer and immune-mediated diseases.

Biosynthesized magnesium oxide nanoparticles from Tamarindus indica seed attenuate doxorubicin-induced cardiotoxicity by regulating biochemical indexes and linked genes. BIOMATERIALS ADVANCES 2023; 146:213291. [PMID: 36709628 DOI: 10.1016/j.bioadv.2023.213291] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/21/2022] [Revised: 01/11/2023] [Accepted: 01/13/2023] [Indexed: 06/09/2023]
Abstract
The phytochemicals of Tamarindus indica seed hydroalcoholic extract were exploited as a biocatalyst for the sustainable synthesis of magnesium oxide nanoparticles (MgO-NPs). This research investigated the cardioprotective effects of biosynthesized magnesium oxide nanoparticle (MgO-NPs). The biosynthesized seed MgO-NPs were characterized by ultraviolet-visible spectroscopy (UV-Vis), X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) with energy-dispersive X-ray diffraction (EDX), and Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR). These methodological approaches demonstrated their capacity to synthesize crystalline and aggregated MgO-NPs with a size average of 13.38 ± 0.16 nm. The biogenic MgO-NPs were found to have a significant quantity of total phenolic contents (TPC) and total flavonoid contents (TFC), indicating the existence of phenol and flavonoid-like components. The biogenic MgO-NPs demonstrated a significant free radical scavenging effects compared to different standards as measured by the inhibition of free radicals produced in 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH), 2,2-azinobis-(3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulfonate) (ABTS•+), and Nitric oxide (NO) scavenging methods; they also exhibited higher ferric ion reducing capacity in FRAP assay. Moreover, they were found to be non-toxic in cytotoxic assessment. Pretreatment of Wistar Albino rats with seed MgO-NPs resulted in a significant reduction of cardiac biomarkers, i.e., cardiac Troponin-I (cTnI), creatine kinase (CK-MB), and aspartate aminotransferase (AST). The seed MgO-NPs were more successful in reducing lipid levels. The results of the mRNA expression analysis showed that seed MgO-NPs efficiently reduced the expression of the apoptotic genes p53 and Caspase-3 while restoring the expected levels of SOD gene expression. The histopathological observations were primarily focused on the disruption of cardiac fibers and myofibrillar disintegration, which are consistent with the biochemical findings. Therefore, our research suggests that MgO-NPs derived from the seeds of Tamarindus indica as a powerful antioxidant; the administration may be effective in protecting the heart from DOX-induced cardiotoxicity.

Abstract
Homeostatic regulation of cardiomyocytes plays a critical role in maintaining normal physiological activity of cardiac tissue. Severe cardiotoxicity can lead to heart disease, including but not limited to arrhythmias, myocardial infarction and cardiac hypertrophy. In recent years, significant progress has been made in developing new therapies for cancer that have dramatically changed the treatment of several malignancies and continue to improve patient survival, but can also lead to serious cardiac adverse effects. Mitochondria are key organelles that maintain homeostasis in myocardial tissue and have been extensively involved in various cardiovascular disease episodes, including ischemic cardiomyopathy, heart failure and stroke. Several studies support that mitochondrial targeting is a major determinant of the cardiotoxic effects triggered by chemotherapeutic agents increasingly used in solid and hematologic tumors. This antineoplastic therapy-induced mitochondrial toxicity is due to different mechanisms, usually altering the mitochondrial respiratory chain, energy production and mitochondrial kinetics, or inducing mitochondrial oxidative/nitrosative stress, ultimately leading to cell death. This review focuses on recent advances in forms of cardiac cell death and related mechanisms of antineoplastic drug-induced cardiotoxicity, including autophagy, ferroptosis, apoptosis, pyroptosis, and necroptosis, explores and evaluates key proteins involved in cardiac cell death signaling, and presents recent advances in cardioprotective strategies for this disease. It aims to provide theoretical basis and targets for the prevention and treatment of pharmacological cardiotoxicity in clinical settings.

Abstract
Doxorubicin (DOX) is an effective chemotherapeutic drug developed against a broad range of cancers, and its clinical applications are greatly restricted by the side effects of severe cardiotoxicity during tumour treatment. Herein, the DOX-loaded biodegradable porous polymeric drug, namely, Fc-Ma-DOX, which was stable in the circulation, but easy to compose in the acidic medium, was used as the drug delivery system avoiding the indiscriminate release of DOX. Fc-Ma was constructed via the copolymerization of 1,1'-ferrocenecarbaldehyde with d-mannitol (Ma) through the pH-sensitive acetal bonds. Echocardiography, biochemical parameters, pathological examination, and western blot results showed that DOX treatment caused increased myocardial injury and oxidative stress damage. In contrast, treatment with Fc-Ma-DOX significantly reduced myocardial injury and oxidative stress by DOX treatment. Notably, in the Fc-Ma-DOX treatment group, we observed a significant decrease in the uptake of DOX by H9C2 cells and a significant decrease in reactive oxygen species (ROS) production.

Abstract
Cisplatin (CDDP) is an effective chemotherapeutic drug that has been used successfully in treating various tumors. Although its higher antineoplastic agent activity, CDDP exhibited severe side effects that limit its use. CDDP-induced toxicity is attributed to oxidative stress and inflammation. Apocynin (APO) is a bioactive phytochemical with potent antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. However, pharmaceutical experts face significant hurdles due to the limited bioavailability and quick elimination of APO. Therefore, we synthesized a chitosan (CTS)-based nano delivery system using the ionic gelation method to enhance APO bioactivity. CTS-APO-NPs were characterized using different physical and chemical approaches, including FTIR, XRD, TGA, Zeta-sizer, SEM, and TEM. In addition, the protective effect of CTS-APO-NPs against CDDP-induced nephrotoxicity, hepatotoxicity, and cardiotoxicity in rats was evaluated. CTS-APO-NPs restored serum biomarkers and antioxidants to their normal levels. Also, histopathological examination was used to assess the recovery of heart, kidney, and liver tissues. CTS-APO-NPs attenuated the oxidative stress mediated by Nrf2 activation while it dampened inflammation mediated by NF-κB suppression. CTS-APO-NPs is a potentially attractive target for more therapeutic trials.

Abstract
Although cisplatin remains a backbone of standard-of-care chemotherapy regimens for a variety of malignancies, its use is often associated with severe dose-limiting toxicities (DLT). Notably, 30%-40% of patients treated with cisplatin-based regimens are forced to discontinue treatment after experiencing nephrotoxicity as a DLT. New approaches that simultaneously prevent renal toxicity while improving therapeutic response have the potential to make a major clinical impact for patients with multiple forms of cancer. Here, we report that pevonedistat (MLN4924), a first-in-class NEDDylation inhibitor, alleviates nephrotoxicity and synergistically enhances the efficacy of cisplatin in head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) models. We demonstrate that pevonedistat protects normal kidney cells from injury while enhancing the anticancer activity of cisplatin through a thioredoxin-interacting protein (TXNIP)-mediated mechanism. Cotreatment with pevonedistat and cisplatin yielded dramatic HNSCC tumor regression and long-term animal survival in 100% of treated mice. Importantly, the combination decreased nephrotoxicity induced by cisplatin monotherapy as evidenced by the blockade of kidney injury molecule-1 (KIM-1) and TXNIP expression, a reduction in collapsed glomeruli and necrotic cast formation, and inhibition of cisplatin-mediated animal weight loss. Inhibition of NEDDylation represents a novel strategy to prevent cisplatin-induced nephrotoxicity while simultaneously enhancing its anticancer activity through a redox-mediated mechanism. Significance Cisplatin therapy is associated with significant nephrotoxicity, which limits its clinical use. Here we demonstrate that NEDDylation inhibition with pevonedistat is a novel approach to selectively prevent cisplatin-induced oxidative damage to the kidneys while simultaneously enhancing its anticancer efficacy. Clinical evaluation of the combination of pevonedistat and cisplatin is warranted.

Abstract
Drug-induced cardiotoxicity is a life-threatening side effect of doxorubicin (DOX) treatment that impacts patient prognosis and survival. In the majority of cases, the acute clinical form often remains asymptomatic, with few patients presenting rather nonspecific electrocardiographic abnormalities. While chronic toxicity has been more widely studied, the alterations appearing in acute cardiotoxicity are much less investigated. Thus, our in vivo study aimed to evaluate the process of DOX-induced acute myocardial toxicity by investigating oxidative stress and autophagy markers as mechanisms of myocardial toxicity in correlation with echocardiography and electrocardiography findings. Our results show that both autophagy and oxidative homeostasis were disrupted as soon as 7 days after DOX treatment, alterations that occurred even before the significant increase of NT-proBNP, a clinical marker for cardiac suffering. Moreover, we found a large number of alterations in the electrocardiography and echocardiography of treated rats. These findings suggest that DOX-induced myocardial toxicity started early after treatment initiation, possibly marking the initial phase of the unfolding process of cardiac damage. Further studies are required to completely decipher the mechanisms of DOX-induced cardiotoxicity.

Abstract
Cardiotoxicity is a severe considerable side effect of cisplatin (CDDP) that requires much medical attention. The current study investigates the cardioprotective effects of canagliflozin (CA) against CDDP-induced heart toxicity. Rats were allocated to the control group; the CA group was administered CA 10 mg/kg/day orally for 10 days; the CDDP group was injected with 7 mg/kg, intraperitoneal as a single dose on the 5th day, and the CDDP + CA group. Compared to the CDDP-treated group, CA effectively attenuated CDDP-induced heart injury as evidenced by a decrease of serum aspartate aminotransferase, alkaline phosphatase, creatine kinase-MB, and lactate dehydrogenase enzymes and supported by the alleviation of histopathological changes in cardiac tissues. Biochemically, CA attenuated cardiac oxidative injury through upregulation of the nuclear factor-erythroid 2 related factor 2 (Nrf2) signal. CA suppressed inflammation by decreasing cardiac NO2 - , MPO, iNOS, nuclear factor kappa B (NF-κB), tumor necrosis factor-alpha, and interleukin 1-beta levels. Besides, CA significantly upregulated cardiac levels of phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI3K), protein kinase B (AKT), and p-AKT proteins. Moreover, CA remarkably mitigated CDDP-induced apoptosis via modulation of Bax, cytochrome C, and Bcl-2 protein levels. Together, the present study revealed that CA could be a good candidate for preventing CDDP-induced cardiac injury by modulating iNOS/NF-κB, Nrf2, PI3K/AKT, and Bax/cytochrome C/Bcl-2 signals.

Abstract
The clinical efficacy of chemotherapy, as a recognized therapeutic approach for malignant diseases, usually has certain limitations due to its cardiotoxicity (CT) and consequent cardiomyopathy, or even heart failure. CT is defined as any cardiac injury connected with oncology treatment, whether it is chemo-, radio-, targeted or immunotherapy, or cancer by itself, and it represents a great challenge for clinicians in everyday practice. A wide spectrum of factors related to chemotherapy (type of drug, dose during each cycle, cumulative dose, schedule, method of application, combination with other cardiotoxic drugs or association with radiotherapy) and patient characteristics (age, presence of cardiovascular risk factors, previous cardiovascular disease) are the determining factors that influence the frequency of CT. Imaging methods for morphological and functional monitoring of the heart muscle are used for monitoring CT. The quest for diagnostic tools for early CT detection is of great significance. In line with this, the measurement of some cardiac biomarkers has found its place in clinical settings as an early determinant of myocardial injury. Therefore, in this review article, special attention will be paid to certain well-established, as well as certain novel cardiac biomarkers, and their role in recognizing asymptomatic CT, in order to gain deeper insight into their diagnostic utility.

Abstract
Cardiotoxicity from chemotherapy regimens has been long reported. However, the understanding of cardiac side effects of biological therapies is rapidly evolving. With cancer patients achieving higher life expectancy due to the use of personalized medicine and novel targeted anticancer agents, the occurrence of cardiotoxicity is becoming more significant. Novel biological therapies include anti-HER2 antibodies, tyrosine kinase inhibitors, bruton kinase inhibitors, antivascular endothelial growth factors, proteasome inhibitors, immunomodulator drugs, and immune checkpoint inhibitors. Potential cardiovascular toxicities linked to these anticancer agents include hypertension, arrhythmias, QT prolongation, myocardial ischemia and infarction, left ventricular dysfunction, congestive heart failure, and thromboembolism. Cardiac biomarkers, electrocardiography, echocardiography and magnetic resonance imaging are common diagnostic modalities used for early detection of these complications and timely intervention. This review discusses the various types of cardiotoxicities caused by novel anticancer biologic agents, their molecular and pathophysiological mechanisms, risk factors, and diagnostic and management strategies that can be used to prevent, minimize, and treat them.

Abstract
PURPOSE Heart failure (HF) is a potentially life-threatening complication of treatment for childhood cancer. We evaluated the risk and risk factors for HF in a large European study of long-term survivors. Little is known of the effects of low doses of treatment, which is needed to improve current treatment protocols and surveillance guidelines. METHODS This study includes the PanCareSurFup and ProCardio cohort of ≥ 5-year childhood cancer survivors diagnosed between 1940 and 2009 in seven European countries (N = 42,361). We calculated the cumulative incidence of HF and conducted a nested case-control study to evaluate detailed treatment-related risk factors. RESULTS The cumulative incidence of HF was 2% (95% CI, 1.7 to 2.2) by age 50 years. The case-control study (n = 1,000) showed that survivors who received a mean heart radiation therapy (RT) dose of 5 to < 15 Gy have an increased risk of HF (odds ratio, 5.5; 95% CI, 2.5 to 12.3), when compared with no heart RT. The risk associated with doses 5 to < 15 Gy increased with exposure of a larger heart volume. In addition, the HF risk increased in a linear fashion with higher mean heart RT doses. Regarding total cumulative anthracycline dose, survivors who received ≥ 100 mg/m2 had a substantially increased risk of HF and survivors treated with a lower dose showed no significantly increased risk of HF. The dose-response relationship appeared quadratic with higher anthracycline doses. CONCLUSION Survivors who received a mean heart RT dose of ≥ 5 Gy have an increased risk of HF. The risk associated with RT increases with larger volumes exposed. Survivors treated with < 100 mg/m2 total cumulative anthracycline dose have no significantly increased risk of HF. These new findings might have consequences for new treatment protocols for children with cancer and for cardiomyopathy surveillance guidelines.

Abstract
Although studies have shown that myomesin 2 (MYOM2) mutations can lead to hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM), a common cardiovascular disease that has a serious impact on human life, the effect of MYOM2 on cardiac function and lifespan in humans is unknown. In this study, dMnM (MYOM2 homologs) knockdown in cardiomyocytes resulted in diastolic cardiac defects (diastolic dysfunction and arrhythmias) and increased cardiac oxidative stress. Furthermore, the knockdown of dMnM in indirect flight muscle (IFM) reduced climbing ability and shortened lifespan. However, regular exercise significantly ameliorated diastolic cardiac dysfunction, arrhythmias, and oxidative stress triggered by dMnM knockdown in cardiac myocytes and also reversed the reduction in climbing ability and shortening of lifespan caused by dMnM knockdown in Drosophila IFM. In conclusion, these results suggest that Drosophila cardiomyocyte dMnM knockdown leads to cardiac functional defects, while dMnM knockdown in IFM affects climbing ability and lifespan. Furthermore, regular exercise effectively upregulates cardiomyocyte dMnM expression levels and ameliorates cardiac functional defects caused by Drosophila cardiomyocyte dMnM knockdown by increasing cardiac antioxidant capacity. Importantly, regular exercise ameliorates the shortened lifespan caused by dMnM knockdown in IFM.

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
ObjectiveMyocardial edema is an early manifestation of chemotherapy-related myocardial injury. In this study, we used cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) T2 mapping to assess myocardial edema and its changes during chemotherapy for gynecologic malignancies.MethodsWe enrolled 73 patients receiving chemotherapy for gynecologic malignancies, whose the latest cycle was within one month before the beginning of this study, and 41 healthy volunteers. All participants underwent CMR imaging. Of the 73 patients, 35 completed CMR follow-up after a median interval of 6 (3.3 to 9.6) months. The CMR sequences included cardiac cine, T2 mapping, and late gadolinium enhancement.ResultsMyocardial T2 was elevated in patients who were treated with chemotherapy compared with healthy volunteers [41ms (40ms to 43ms) vs. 41ms (39ms to 41ms), P = 0.030]. During follow-up, myocardial T2 rose further [40ms (39ms to 42ms) vs. 42.70 ± 2.92ms, P < 0.001]. Multivariate analysis showed that the number of chemotherapy cycles was associated with myocardial T2 elevation (β = 0.204, P = 0.029). After adjustment for other confounders, myocardial T2 elevation was independently associated with a decrease in left ventricular mass (β = −0.186; P = 0.024).ConclusionIn patients with gynecologic malignancies, myocardial edema developed with chemotherapy cycles increase, and was associated with left ventricular mass decrease. T2 mapping allows the assessment of myocardial edema and monitoring of its change during chemotherapy.

Abstract
Anthracyclines are routinely used in cancer chemotherapy in many childhood cancers. A serious adverse effect of doxorubicin chemotherapy is cardiotoxicity which may lead to congestive heart failure for long-term survivors years after treatment. Currently, echocardiography is used to control the heart function during anthracyclines therapy. B-type natriuretic peptide (BNP) and NT-proBNP as well as cardiac troponins have been proposed as clinical markers for subclinical anthracycline-induced cardiotoxicity. The BNP and pro-BNP can be easily measured in plasma and initial data indicate that the NT-proBNP could be sensitive predictor for the development of congestive heart failure.
