Melatonin and metformin ameliorated trastuzumab-induced cardiotoxicity through the modulation of mitochondrial function and dynamics without reducing its anticancer efficacy. Biochim Biophys Acta Mol Basis Dis 2023; 1869:166618. [PMID: 36494039 DOI: 10.1016/j.bbadis.2022.166618] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/06/2022] [Revised: 11/28/2022] [Accepted: 11/29/2022] [Indexed: 12/12/2022]
Abstract
Trastuzumab has an impressive level of efficacy as regards antineoplasticity, however it can cause serious cardiotoxic side effects manifested by impaired cardiac contractile function. Although several pharmacological interventions, including melatonin and metformin, have been reported to protect against various cardiovascular diseases, their potential roles in trastuzumab-induced cardiotoxicity remain elusive. We hypothesized that either melatonin or metformin co-treatment effectively attenuates trastuzumab-mediated cardiotoxicity through attenuating the impaired mitochondrial function and mitochondrial dynamics. Male Wistar rats were divided into control (normal saline, n = 8) and trastuzumab group (4 mg/kg/day for 7 days, n = 24). Rats in the trastuzumab group were subdivided into 3 interventional groups (n = 8/group), and normal saline, or melatonin (10 mg/kg/day), or metformin (250 mg/kg/day) were orally administered for 7 consecutive days. Cardiac parameters were determined, and biochemical investigations were carried out on blood and heart tissues. Trastuzumab induced left ventricular (LV) dysfunction by increasing oxidative stress, inflammation, and apoptosis. It also impaired cardiac mitochondrial function, dynamics, and autophagy. Treatment with either melatonin or metformin equally attenuated trastuzumab-induced cardiac injury, indicated by a marked reduction in inflammation, oxidative damage, cardiac mitochondrial injury, mitochondrial dynamic imbalance, autophagy dysregulation, and apoptosis, leading to improved LV function, as demonstrated by increased LV ejection fraction. Melatonin and metformin conferred equal levels of cardioprotection against trastuzumab-induced cardiotoxicity, which may provide novel and promising approaches for management of cardiotoxicity induced by trastuzumab.

Abstract
Heart failure (HF) is a global public health threat affecting 26 million individuals worldwide with an estimated prevalence increase of 46% by 2030. One of the main causes of HF and sudden death in children and adult is Dilated Cardiomyopathy (DCM). DCM is characterized by dilation and systolic dysfunction of one or both ventricles. It has an underlying genetic basis or can develop subsequent to various etiologies that cause myocardium inflammation (secondary causes). The morbidity and mortality rates of DCM remains high despite recent advancement to manage the disease. New insights have been dedicated to better understand the pathogenesis of DCM in respect to genetic and inflammatory basis by linking the two entities together. This cognizance in the field of cardiology might have an innovative approach to manage DCM through targeted treatment directed to the causative etiology. The following review summarizes the genetical and inflammatory causes underlying DCM and the pathways of the novel precision-medicine-based immunomodulatory strategies to salvage and prevent the associated heart failure linked to the disease.

African Vegetables ( Clerodendrum volibile Leaf and Irvingia gabonensis Seed Extracts) Effectively Mitigate Trastuzumab-Induced Cardiotoxicity in Wistar Rats. OXIDATIVE MEDICINE AND CELLULAR LONGEVITY 2020; 2020:9535426. [PMID: 33178389 PMCID: PMC7644299 DOI: 10.1155/2020/9535426] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/29/2020] [Revised: 09/14/2020] [Accepted: 09/22/2020] [Indexed: 02/07/2023]
Abstract
Trastuzumab (TZM) is a humanized monoclonal antibody that has been approved for the clinical management of HER2-positive metastatic breast and gastric cancers but its use is limited by its cumulative dose and off-target cardiotoxicity. Unfortunately, till date, there is no approved antidote to this off-target toxicity. Therefore, an acute study was designed at investigating the protective potential and mechanism(s) of CVE and IGE in TZM-induced cardiotoxicity utilizing cardiac enzyme and oxidative stress markers and histopathological endpoints. 400 mg/kg/day CVE and IGE dissolved in 5% DMSO in sterile water were investigated in Wistar rats injected with 2.25 mg/kg/day/i.p. route of TZM for 7 days, using serum cTnI and LDH, complete lipid profile, cardiac tissue oxidative stress markers assays, and histopathological examination of TZM-intoxicated heart tissue. Results showed that 400 mg/kg/day CVE and IGE profoundly attenuated increases in the serum cTnI and LDH levels but caused no significant alterations in the serum lipids and weight gain pattern in the treated rats. CVE and IGE profoundly attenuated alterations in the cardiac tissue oxidative stress markers' activities while improving TZM-associated cardiac histological lesions. These results suggest that CVE and IGE could be mediating its cardioprotection via antioxidant, free radical scavenging, and antithrombotic mechanisms, thus, highlighting the therapeutic potentials of CVE and IGE in the management of TZM-mediated cardiotoxicity.

Abstract
Ellipticine (5,11-dimethyl-6H-pyrido[4,3-b]carbazole) is an antineoplastic agent that intercalates into DNA and alters topoisomerase II activity. Unfortunately, this compound displays a number of adverse properties. Therefore, to investigate new ellipticine-based compounds for their potential as topoisomerase II-targeted drugs, we synthesized two novel derivatives, N-methyl-5-demethyl ellipticine (ET-1) and 2-methyl-N-methyl-5-demethyl ellipticinium iodide (ET-2). As determined by DNA decatenation and cleavage assays, ET-1 and ET-2 act as catalytic inhibitors of human topoisomerase IIα and are both more potent than the parent compound. Neither compound impairs the ability of the type II enzyme to bind its DNA substrate. Finally, the potency of ET-1 and ET-2 as catalytic inhibitors of topoisomerase IIα appears to be related to their ability to intercalate into the double helix.
