Yan T, Yu H, Li T, Dong Y. Mechanisms of Cardiovascular Toxicities Induced by Cancer Therapies and Promising Biomarkers for Their Prediction: A Scoping Review. Heart Lung Circ 2024; 33:605-638. [PMID: 38242833 DOI: 10.1016/j.hlc.2023.12.006] [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: 05/31/2023] [Revised: 10/16/2023] [Accepted: 12/01/2023] [Indexed: 01/21/2024]
Abstract
AIM With the advancement of anti-cancer medicine, cardiovascular toxicities due to cancer therapies are common in oncology patients, resulting in increased mortality and economic burden. Cardiovascular toxicities caused by cancer therapies include different severities of cardiomyopathy, arrhythmia, myocardial ischaemia, hypertension, and thrombosis, which may lead to left ventricular dysfunction and heart failure. This scoping review aimed to summarise the mechanisms of cardiovascular toxicities following various anti-cancer treatments and potential predictive biomarkers for early detection. METHODS PubMed, Cochrane, Embase, Web of Science, Scopus, and CINAHL databases were searched for original studies written in English related to the mechanisms of cardiovascular toxicity induced by anti-cancer therapies, including chemotherapy, targeted therapy, immunotherapy, radiation therapy, and relevant biomarkers. The search and title/abstract screening were conducted independently by two reviewers, and the final analysed full texts achieved the consensus of the two reviewers. RESULTS A total of 240 studies were identified based on their titles and abstracts. In total, 107 full-text articles were included in the analysis. Cardiomyocyte and endothelial cell apoptosis caused by oxidative stress injury, activation of cell apoptosis, blocking of normal cardiovascular protection signalling pathways, overactivation of immune cells, and myocardial remodelling were the main mechanisms. Promising biomarkers for anti-cancer therapies related to cardiovascular toxicity included placental growth factor, microRNAs, galectin-3, and myeloperoxidase for the early detection of cardiovascular toxicity. CONCLUSION Understanding the mechanisms of cardiovascular toxicity following various anti-cancer treatments could provide implications for future personalised treatment methods to protect cardiovascular function. Furthermore, specific early sensitive and stable biomarkers of cardiovascular system damage need to be identified to predict reversible damage to the cardiovascular system and improve the effects of anti-cancer agents.

Abstract
Protein degraders are currently under rapid development as a promising modality for drug discovery. They are compounds that orchestrate interactions between a target protein and an E3 ubiquitin ligase, prompting intracellular protein degradation through proteasomal pathway. More protein degraders identification will greatly promote the development of this field. BAG3 is widely recognized as an excellent therapeutic target in cancer treatments. Exploring protein degraders that target BAG3 degradation has profound implications. Herein, molecular docking was applied to assess binding energy between 81 clinical phase I kinase inhibitors and BAG3. BAG3 protein and mRNA level were detected by western blot and quantitative real-time PCR. CCK8 assay and colony formation assay were applied to detect the cell viability and proliferation rate. Cell death was accessed using flow cytometry combined with PI and Annexin V double staining. AZD7762, a Chk1 kinase inhibitor, was identified to induce BAG3 degradation in a ubiquitin-proteasome pathway. AZD7762-induced BAG3 degradation was not dependent on Chk1 expression or activity. CRBN, an E3 ligase, was identified to bind to BAG3 and mediated BAG3 ubiquitination in the presence of AZD7762. By targeting Chk1 and BAG3, two ideal therapeutic targets in cancer treatment, AZD7762 would be a powerful chemotherapy agent in the future.

Abstract
Cardiovascular disease (CVD) caused by anti-cancer drug-induced cardiotoxicity is now the second leading cause of mortality among cancer survivors. It is necessary to establish efficient in vitro models for early predicting the potential cardiotoxicity of anti-cancer drugs, as well as for screening drugs that would alleviate cardiotoxicity during and post treatment. Human induced pluripotent stem cells (hiPSCs) have opened up new avenues in cardio-oncology. With the breakthrough of tissue engineering technology, a variety of hiPSC-derived cardiac microtissues or organoids have been recently reported, which have shown enormous potential in studying cardiotoxicity. Moreover, using hiPSC-derived heart-on-chip for studying cardiotoxicity has provided novel insights into the underlying mechanisms. Herein, we summarize different types of anti-cancer drug-induced cardiotoxicities and present an extensive overview on the applications of hiPSC-derived cardiac microtissues, cardiac organoids, and heart-on-chips in cardiotoxicity. Finally, we highlight clinical and translational challenges around hiPSC-derived cardiac microtissues/organoids/heart-on chips and their applications in anti-cancer drug-induced cardiotoxicity. • Anti-cancer drug-induced cardiotoxicities represent pressing challenges for cancer treatments, and cardiovascular disease is the second leading cause of mortality among cancer survivors. • Newly reported in vitro models such as hiPSC-derived cardiac microtissues/organoids/chips show enormous potential for studying cardio-oncology. • Emerging evidence supports that hiPSC-derived cardiac organoids and heart-on-chip are promising in vitro platforms for predicting and minimizing anti-cancer drug-induced cardiotoxicity.

Abstract
Cardiac arrhythmias are a major cause of cardiovascular mortality worldwide. Many arrhythmias are caused by reentry, a phenomenon where excitation waves circulate in the heart. Optical mapping techniques have revealed the role of reentry in arrhythmia initiation and fibrillation transition, but the underlying biophysical mechanisms are still difficult to investigate in intact hearts. Tissue engineering models of cardiac tissue can mimic the structure and function of native cardiac tissue and enable interactive observation of reentry formation and wave propagation. This review will present various approaches to constructing cardiac tissue models for reentry studies, using the authors' work as examples. The review will highlight the evolution of tissue engineering designs based on different substrates, cell types, and structural parameters. A new approach using polymer materials and cellular reprogramming to create biomimetic cardiac tissues will be introduced. The review will also show how computational modeling of cardiac tissue can complement experimental data and how such models can be applied in the biomimetics of cardiac tissue.

Cardiac Molecular Remodeling by Anticancer Drugs: Doxorubicin Affects More Metabolism While Mitoxantrone Impacts More Autophagy in Adult CD-1 Male Mice. Biomolecules 2023; 13:921. [PMID: 37371499 PMCID: PMC10296231 DOI: 10.3390/biom13060921] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/17/2023] [Revised: 05/14/2023] [Accepted: 05/26/2023] [Indexed: 06/29/2023] Open
Abstract
Doxorubicin (DOX) and mitoxantrone (MTX) are classical chemotherapeutic agents used in cancer that induce similar clinical cardiotoxic effects, although it is not clear if they share similar underlying molecular mechanisms. We aimed to assess the effects of DOX and MTX on the cardiac remodeling, focusing mainly on metabolism and autophagy. Adult male CD-1 mice received pharmacologically relevant cumulative doses of DOX (18 mg/kg) and MTX (6 mg/kg). Both DOX and MTX disturbed cardiac metabolism, decreasing glycolysis, and increasing the dependency on fatty acids (FA) oxidation, namely, through decreased AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) and glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase (GAPDH) content and decreased free carnitine (C0) and increased acetylcarnitine (C2) concentration. Additionally, DOX heavily influenced glycolysis, oxidative metabolism, and amino acids turnover by exclusively decreasing phosphofructokinase (PFKM) and electron transfer flavoprotein-ubiquinone oxidoreductase (ETFDH) content, and the concentration of several amino acids. Conversely, both drugs downregulated autophagy given by the decreased content of autophagy protein 5 (ATG5) and microtubule-associated protein light chain 3 (LC3B), with MTX having also an impact on Beclin1. These results emphasize that DOX and MTX modulate cardiac remodeling differently, despite their clinical similarities, which is of paramount importance for future treatments.

Abstract
AbstractThe data currently described was generated within the EU/FP7 HeCaToS project (Hepatic and Cardiac Toxicity Systems modeling). The project aimed to develop an in silico prediction system to contribute to drug safety assessment for humans. For this purpose, multi-omics data of repeated dose toxicity were obtained for 10 hepatotoxic and 10 cardiotoxic compounds. Most data were gained from in vitro experiments in which 3D microtissues (either hepatic or cardiac) were exposed to a therapeutic (physiologically relevant concentrations calculated through PBPK-modeling) or a toxic dosing profile (IC20 after 7 days). Exposures lasted for 14 days and samples were obtained at 7 time points (therapeutic doses: 2-8-24-72-168-240-336 h; toxic doses 0-2-8-24-72-168-240 h). Transcriptomics (RNA sequencing & microRNA sequencing), proteomics (LC-MS), epigenomics (MeDIP sequencing) and metabolomics (LC-MS & NMR) data were obtained from these samples. Furthermore, functional endpoints (ATP content, Caspase3/7 and O2 consumption) were measured in exposed microtissues. Additionally, multi-omics data from human biopsies from patients are available. This data is now being released to the scientific community through the BioStudies data repository (https://www.ebi.ac.uk/biostudies/).

Abstract
Several anticancer agents have been associated with cardiac toxic effects. The currently proposed mechanisms to explain cardiotoxicity differ among anticancer agents, but in fact, the specific modulation is not completely elucidated. Thus, this systematic review aims to provide an integrative perspective of the molecular mechanisms underlying the toxicity of anticancer agents on heart muscle while using a high-throughput technology, mass spectrometry (MS)-based proteomics. A literature search using PubMed database led to the selection of 27 studies, of which 13 reported results exclusively on animal models, 13 on cardiomyocyte-derived cell lines and only one included both animal and a cardiomyocyte line. The reported anticancer agents were the proteasome inhibitor carfilzomib, the anthracyclines daunorubicin, doxorubicin, epirubicin and idarubicin, the antimicrotubule agent docetaxel, the alkylating agent melphalan, the anthracenedione mitoxantrone, the tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) erlotinib, lapatinib, sorafenib and sunitinib, and the monoclonal antibody trastuzumab. Regarding the MS-based proteomic approaches, electrophoretic separation using two-dimensional (2D) gels coupled with tandem MS (MS/MS) and liquid chromatography-MS/MS (LC-MS/MS) were the most common. Overall, the studies highlighted 1826 differentially expressed proteins across 116 biological processes. Most of them were grouped in larger processes and critically analyzed in the present review. The selection of studies using proteomics on heart muscle allowed to obtain information about the anticancer therapy-induced modulation of numerous proteins in this tissue and to establish connections that have been disregarded in other studies. This systematic review provides interesting points for a comprehensive understanding of the cellular cardiotoxicity mechanisms of different anticancer drugs.

Abstract
Human pluripotent stem cell (hPSC) technology has offered nearly infinite opportunities to model all kinds of human diseases in vitro. Cardiomyocytes derived from hPSCs have proved to be efficient tools for cardiac disease modeling, drug screening and pathological mechanism studies. In this review, we discuss the advantages and limitations of 2D hPSC-cardiomyocyte (hPSC-CM) system, and introduce the recent development of three-dimensional (3D) culture platforms derived from hPSCs. Although the development of bioengineering technologies has greatly improved 3D platform construction, there are certainly challenges and room for development for further in-depth research.

Transcriptome analysis of long noncoding RNAs reveals their potential roles in anthracycline-induced cardiotoxicity. Noncoding RNA Res 2022; 7:106-113. [PMID: 35415316 PMCID: PMC8967700 DOI: 10.1016/j.ncrna.2022.01.002] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/22/2021] [Revised: 01/07/2022] [Accepted: 01/12/2022] [Indexed: 12/11/2022] Open
Abstract
Aims Anthracyclines (ANTs) are essential chemotherapeutic agents; however, their adverse effects can lead to heart failure in cancer survivors. While long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) have become new players in cellular processes, there is limited knowledge on lncRNA expression related to anthracyclines-induced cardiotoxicity. This study investigates the lncRNA profiles in human cardiac microtissues exposed to 3 popular ANTs, namely doxorubicin, epirubicin, and idarubicin, as well as in heart biopsies from ANT-treated patients. Methods and results The in vitro microtissues were exposed to each ANT at 2 doses over 2 weeks; the transcriptome data was collected at 7 time points. The human biopsies were collected from heart failure patients who underwent ANT treatment and control subjects. Over 100 lncRNAs were differentially expressed in each in vitro ANT treatment condition compared to control samples; 16 of them were differentially expressed across all ANT-treated conditions. The lncRNA databases and literature revealed insight on how these lncRNAs relate to heart failure and cellular functions. For instance, H19 and RMRP are involved in heart failure progression, while BDNF-AS is a cardiomyocyte damage-associated gene; SNHG7 is a cardiac hypertrophy regulator. PCAT19 can promote the miR‐182/PDK4 axis and modulate p53 expression, whereas SNHG29 can regulate the Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway via the miR-223–3p/CTNND1 axis. Other lncRNAs, which were only differentially expressed in particular ANT-treated conditions, are also involved in cardiomyocyte damage and heart failure disease. The alterations of these lncRNA expressions in the in vitro cardiac tissue were also affirmed by similar changes in the human biopsies. Conclusion This study revealed several lncRNAs that can be potential biomarkers or targets for further ANT-induced cardiotoxicity investigation, according to the transcriptome in both human cardiac microtissues expose to ANTs as well as in heart biopies form ANT-treated patients. Especially, H19 lncRNA showed its contribution to on-target toxicity, in which it is involved in both chemoresistance and cardiotoxic mechanism.
