RESUMO

Background: Immune checkpoint inhibitor (ICI)-associated myocarditis is a rare, but potentially fatal, immune-related adverse event. Hence, identifying biomarkers is critical for selecting and managing patients receiving ICI treatment. Serum autoantibodies (AAbs) in patients with ICI myocarditis may serve as potential biomarkers for predicting, diagnosing, and prognosing ICI myocarditis. We conducted a pilot study using a human proteome microarray with approximately 17,000 unique full-length human proteins to investigate AAbs associated with ICI myocarditis. Methods and results: AAb profiling was performed using sera collected from three patients with ICI myocarditis before the start of ICI treatment and immediately after myocarditis onset. All patients received anti-programmed death-1 antibody monotherapy. At baseline, 116, 296, and 154 autoantigens reacted positively to immunoglobulin G (IgG) in the serum samples from Cases 1, 2, and 3, respectively. Among these proteins, the recombination signal-binding protein for the immunoglobulin kappa J region (RBPJ) was recognized by all three samples, and 32 autoantigens were recognized by any two of the three samples. At the onset of ICI myocarditis, compared to baseline, 48, 114, and 5 autoantigens reacted more strongly with IgG in the serum samples from Cases 1, 2, and 3, respectively. Among these, antibodies against eukaryotic translation initiation factor 4E binding protein 3 (EIF4EBP3) were the most upregulated, with a 38-fold increase. Gene ontology (GO) and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) enrichment analyses highlighted that B-cell receptor signaling, leukocyte transendothelial migration, and thymus development were among the most affected pathways. Enrichment analyses using DisGeNET revealed that proteins reacting to AAbs detected in patients with ICI myocarditis are associated with several diseases, including dilated cardiomyopathy and muscle weakness. Conclusions: This pilot study provides the first integrated analysis of serum AAb profiling in patients with ICI myocarditis and identifies novel candidate markers associated with an increased risk of developing ICI myocarditis and its pathogenesis. However, our results require further independent validation in clinical trials involving a larger number of patients.

RESUMO

Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) is an inherited disorder characterized by left ventricular hypertrophy and diastolic dysfunction, and increases the risk of arrhythmias and heart failure. Some patients with HCM develop a dilated phase of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (D-HCM) and have poor prognosis; however, its pathogenesis is unclear and few pathological models exist. This study established disease-specific human induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) from a patient with D-HCM harboring a mutation in MYBPC3 (c.1377delC), a common causative gene of HCM, and investigated the associated pathophysiological mechanisms using disease-specific iPSC-derived cardiomyocytes (iPSC-CMs). We confirmed the expression of pluripotent markers and the ability to differentiate into three germ layers in D-HCM patient-derived iPSCs (D-HCM iPSCs). D-HCM iPSC-CMs exhibited disrupted myocardial sarcomere structures and an increased number of damaged mitochondria. Ca2+ imaging showed increased abnormal Ca2+ signaling and prolonged decay time in D-HCM iPSC-CMs. Cell metabolic analysis revealed increased basal respiration, maximal respiration, and spare-respiratory capacity in D-HCM iPSC-CMs. RNA sequencing also showed an increased expression of mitochondrial electron transport system-related genes. D-HCM iPSC-CMs showed abnormal Ca2+ handling and hypermetabolic state, similar to that previously reported for HCM patient-derived iPSC-CMs. Although further studies are required, this is expected to be a useful pathological model for D-HCM.

RESUMO

Inherited arrhythmia syndromes (IASs) can cause life-threatening arrhythmias and are responsible for a significant proportion of sudden cardiac deaths (SCDs). Despite progress in the development of devices to prevent SCDs, the precise molecular mechanisms that induce detrimental arrhythmias remain to be fully investigated, and more effective therapies are desirable. In the present study, we screened a large-scale randomly mutagenized mouse library by electrocardiography to establish a disease model of IASs and consequently found one pedigree that exhibited spontaneous ventricular arrhythmias (VAs) followed by SCD within 1 y after birth. Genetic analysis successfully revealed a missense mutation (p.I4093V) of the ryanodine receptor 2 gene to be a cause of the arrhythmia. We found an age-related increase in arrhythmia frequency accompanied by cardiomegaly and decreased ventricular contractility in the Ryr2I4093V/+ mice. Ca2+ signaling analysis and a ryanodine binding assay indicated that the mutant ryanodine receptor 2 had a gain-of-function phenotype and enhanced Ca2+ sensitivity. Using this model, we detected the significant suppression of VA following flecainide or dantrolene treatment. Collectively, we established an inherited life-threatening arrhythmia mouse model from an electrocardiogram-based screen of randomly mutagenized mice. The present IAS model may prove feasible for use in investigating the mechanisms of SCD and assessing therapies.

RESUMO

Background: Owing to the minimally invasive nature of transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR), TAVR seems to be preferred in patients with cancer; however, related research on the clinical efficacy and safety of TAVR in patients with cancer and severe aortic stenosis is limited, and conclusions are controversial. This study aimed to evaluate the clinical outcomes of patients with cancer who underwent TAVR. Method and results: We conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis to investigate the clinical outcomes in patients with and without cancer who underwent TAVR. We systematically reviewed and analyzed 15 studies (195,658 patients) published in PubMed and Cochrane Library databases between January 2022 and January 2023. The primary outcomes were short-term (in-hospital or 30-day) and long-term (≥12 months) mortality. The prevalence of current or previous cancer in the patients undergoing TAVR was 19.8 % (38,695 patients). Patients with cancer had a lower risk of short-term mortality (odds ratio [OR] 0.69, 95 % confidence interval [CI] 0.61-0.77, P < 0.001) but a higher risk of long-term mortality (OR 1.54, 95 % CI 1.35-1.76, P < 0.001) than those without cancer. Patients with cancer had a lower incidence of postprocedural stroke and acute kidney injury but a higher incidence of pacemaker implantation than patients without cancer. Conclusions: Patients with cancer undergoing TAVR have a good short-term prognosis and acceptable perioperative complications compared with patients without cancer. However, the long-term outcomes are contingent on cancer survival.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: In the present study, we aimed to investigate whether early cardiac biomarker alterations and echocardiographic parameters, including left atrial (LA) strain, can predict anthracycline-induced cardiotoxicity (AIC) and thus develop a predictive risk score. METHODS AND RESULTS: The AIC registry is a prospective, observational cohort study designed to gather serial echocardiographic and biomarker data before and after anthracycline chemotherapy. Cardiotoxicity was defined as a reduction in left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) ≥10 percentage points from baseline and <55%. In total, 383 patients (93% women; median age, 57 [46-66] years) completed the 2-year follow-up; 42 (11.0%) patients developed cardiotoxicity (median time to onset, 292 [175-440] days). Increases in cardiac troponin T (TnT) and B-type natriuretic peptide (BNP) and relative reductions in the left ventricular global longitudinal strain (LV GLS) and LA reservoir strain [LASr] at 3 months after anthracycline administration were independently associated with subsequent cardiotoxicity. A risk score containing 2 clinical variables (smoking and prior cardiovascular disease), 2 cardiac biomarkers at 3 months (TnT ≥0.019 ng/mL and BNP ≥31.1 pg/mL), 2 echocardiographic variables at 3 months (relative declines in LV GLS [≥6.5%], and LASr [≥7.5%]) was generated. CONCLUSIONS: Early decline in LASr was independently associated with subsequent cardiotoxicity. The AIC risk score may provide useful prognostication in patients receiving anthracyclines.

RESUMO

A 67-year-old woman with severe aortic stenosis (AS) was transferred to our hospital for large B-cell lymphoma treatment. Because of her high risk of anthracycline-induced cardiotoxicity due to severe AS and low performance status, the patient was initially treated with doxorubicin-free chemotherapy. However, doxorubicin was considered necessary to achieve complete remission. After multidisciplinary team discussions, transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) was performed without complications. Nine days after TAVR, the patient received the first cycle of anthracycline-containing chemotherapy (R-CHOP). Currently, 12 months after completing 4 cycles of R-CHOP, the patient remains in complete remission without having developed cardiotoxicity.

RESUMO

Background Although the close relationship between cancer and venous thromboembolism (VTE) has been identified, risk stratification for VTE in Japanese patients with cancer remains unclear. Objectives This study aimed to validate the Khorana VTE risk assessment score (KRS) for VTE diagnosis and establish an optimal predictive model for VTE in Japanese patients with cancer. Methods A total of 7,955 Japanese patients with cancer were subdivided into low- (0), intermediate- (1-2), and high-score (3) groups according to the KRS. Using 37 explanatory variables, a total of 2,833 patients with cancer were divided into derivation and validation cohorts (5:5). A risk model for Japanese participants was developed using the derivation cohort data. Results The prevalence of VTE in low-, intermediate-, and high-score patients was 1.2, 2.5, and 4.3%, respectively. Logistic regression analysis demonstrated that cancer stage (III-IV) and KRS ≥ 2 were independent and significant predictors of VTE onset. The risk model for VTE assigned 1 point to body mass index ≥25 kg/m 2 and 2 points each to the prevalence of osteochondral cancer and D-dimer level ≥1.47 µg/mL. The areas under the curve of the risk model were 0.763 and 0.656 in the derivation and validation cohorts, respectively. Conclusion The KRS was useful in Japanese patients, and our new predictive model may be helpful for the diagnosis of VTE in Japanese patients with cancer.

RESUMO

Background: Recent studies suggested a relationship between Takotsubo syndrome (TTS) and malignancy. However, clinical outcomes of TTS associated with cancer have not been assessed completely. This study was aimed to investigate the outcomes of patients with TTS and cancer. Methods: We performed a systematic review and meta-analysis to evaluate the clinical outcomes of TTS in patients with and without malignancy. We systematically reviewed and analyzed 14 studies (189,210 patients) published in PubMed and Cochrane Library databases until December 2022. The primary outcome was all-cause mortality at the longest follow-up. Results: The prevalence of current or previous malignancy in patients with TTS was 8.7% (16,461 patients). Patients with TTS and malignancy demonstrated a higher risk of mortality at the longest follow-up than those with TTS alone (odds ratio [OR], 2.41; 95% confidence interval [CI]; 1.95-2.98; P < 0.001). Moreover, cancer was significantly associated with an increased risk of in-hospital or 30-day mortality (OR 2.36; 95% CI, 1.67-3.33; P < 0.001), shock (OR 1.42; 95% CI, 1.30-1.55; P < 0.001), mechanical respiratory support (OR 1.68; 95% CI, 1.59-1.77; P < 0.001), arrhythmia (OR 1.27; 95% CI, 1.21-1.34; P < 0.001), and major adverse cardiac events (OR 1.69; 95% CI, 1.18-2.442; P < 0.001). Conclusions: This study revealed significant associations between previous or active cancer and an increased risk of all-cause mortality and in-hospital adverse events in patients with TTS.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Hypertension is the most frequently occurring adverse event of lenvatinib, recognized relatively early in its course. However, the trend in blood pressure after the initiation of lenvatinib and the outcomes with antihypertensive treatment are unclear. This study aimed to clarify the association between baseline blood pressure and the incidence of lenvatinib-induced hypertension in patients with thyroid cancer. METHODS: This retrospective study included 65 patients without hypertension at the time of lenvatinib initiation. Patients were divided into two groups: those who developed hypertension grade ≥3 (HTN group) and those who did not develop hypertension grade ≥3 (non-HTN group). RESULTS: Of the 65 patients, 46 (71%) developed hypertension grade ≥3. In both HTN and non-HTN groups, blood pressure significantly increased the day after lenvatinib initiation. There was no significant difference in the elevated values of both the changes in systolic blood pressure (ΔSBP) and diastolic blood pressure (ΔDBP) between the two groups, with an average increase of 20 mmHg in SBP and 13 mmHg in DBP from baseline. The median (range) time to the onset of hypertension grade ≥3 was 2 days (1-12 days). In the multivariable analysis, patients with normal (SBP 120-129 mmHg and/or DBP 80-84 mmHg) or high-normal baseline blood pressure (SBP 130-139 mmHg and/or DBP 85-89 mmHg) were at higher risk of developing hypertension grade ≥3 than those with optimal baseline blood pressure (SBP <120 mmHg and DBP <80 mmHg) (odds ratio [OR], 5.07; 95% confidential interval [CI] 1.09-23.54 and OR, 7.48; 95% CI, 1.67-33.51, respectively). CONCLUSIONS: Lenvatinib-induced hypertension appears the day after administration, and higher baseline blood pressure is a significant risk factor for developing hypertension grade ≥3. In cases of increased blood pressure with lenvatinib, early initiation of antihypertensives may prevent treatment interruption due to hypertension and maintain the therapeutic intensity of lenvatinib.

RESUMO

Cancer and cardiovascular disease share several risk factors. Clonal heamatopoiesis, a novel risk factor associated with both diseases, has received increasing attention in the fields of cardiology, heamatology and oncology. Clonal heamatopoiesis of indeterminate potential refers to the presence of at least one driver mutation in the heamatopoietic cells of peripheral blood without heamatological malignancy. Clonal heamatopoiesis of indeterminate potential is a common age-related condition that affects up to 60% of individuals aged > 80 years. Importantly, clonal heamatopoiesis of indeterminate potential carriers have a 2- to 4-fold higher risk of developing cardiovascular disease than non-carriers. Therefore, we performed an up-to-date review of clonal heamatopoiesis and its association with various forms of cardiovascular disease, including atherosclerotic disease, heart failure, aortic stenosis and pulmonary hypertension. In addition, we reviewed experimental studies that examined the causality and directionality between clonal heamatopoiesis and cardiovascular disease. Lastly, we discussed future research directions that will aid in the design of personalized therapies and preventive strategies for individuals with clonal heamatopoiesis. This review showed that clonal heamatopoiesis of indeterminate potential is a common condition, especially in older patients, and is associated with an increased risk of cardiovascular disease and worse prognosis. However, further research is needed to determine whether anti-inflammatory therapies or therapies that can reduce or eliminate clone size are effective in preventing cardiovascular disease in patients with clonal heamatopoiesis of indeterminate potential.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Global longitudinal strain (GLS) can predict cancer therapeutics-related cardiac dysfunction and guide initiation of cardioprotection (CPT). OBJECTIVES: In this study, the authors sought to determine whether echocardiography GLS-guided CPT provides less cardiac dysfunction in survivors of potentially cardiotoxic chemotherapy, compared with usual care at 3 years. METHODS: In this international multicenter prospective randomized controlled trial, patients were enrolled from 28 international sites. All patients treated with anthracyclines with another risk factor for heart failure were randomly allocated to GLS-guided (>12% relative reduction in GLS) or ejection fraction (EF)-guided (>10% absolute reduction of EF to <55%) CPT. The primary end point was the change in 3-dimensional (3D) EF (ΔEF) from baseline to 3 years. RESULTS: Among 331 patients enrolled, 255 (77%, age 54 ± 12 years, 95% women) completed 3-year follow-up (123 in the EF-guided group and 132 in the GLS-guided group). Most had breast cancer (n = 236; 93%), and anthracycline followed by trastuzumab was the most common chemotherapy regimen (84%). Although 67 (26%) had hypertension and 32 (13%) had diabetes mellitus, left ventricular function was normal at baseline (EF: 59% ± 6%, GLS: 20.7% ± 2.3%). CPT was administered in 18 patients (14.6%) in the EF-guided group and 41 (31%) in the GLS-guided group (P = 0.03). Most patients showed recovery in EF and GLS after chemotherapy; 3-year ΔEF was -0.03% ± 7.9% in the EF-guided group and -0.02% ± 6.5% in the GLS-guided (P = 0.99) group; respective 3-year EFs were 58% ± 6% and 59% ± 5% (P = 0.06). At 3 years, 17 patients (5%) had cancer therapeutics-related cardiac dysfunction (11 in the EF-guided group and 6 in the GLS guided group; P = 0.16); 1 patient in each group was admitted for heart failure. CONCLUSIONS: Among patients taking potentially cardiotoxic chemotherapy for cancer, the 3-year data showed improvement of LV dysfunction compared with 1 year, with no difference in ΔEF between GLS- and EF-guided CPT.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Perioperative atrial fibrillation is a common postoperative complication. Adverse consequences associated with POAF include hemodynamic instability, increased risk of stroke, extended hospital stays, and increased mortality. METHODS: To determine the risk factors for POAF and to investigate the outcomes of POAF for patients with cancer, a systematic search of the PubMed and Cochrane Library databases was conducted from inception of the study to 1 September 2021. The inclusion criteria specified studies reporting the prevalence of POAF among patients with cancer. The study excluded articles not written in English, review articles, case reports, letters, commentaries, systematic reviews, meta-analyses, and conference abstracts. RESULTS: The search identified 49 studies with 201,081 patients, and the pooled prevalence of POAF was 13.5% (95% confidence interval [CI], 11.6-15.7%). Meta-analyses showed that the incidence of POAF among patients with cancer was associated with age (mean difference [MD], 4.31; 95%CI, 3.16-5.47), male sex (odds ratio [OR], 1.39; 95% CI, 1.19-1.62), chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (OR, 2.47; 95% CI, 1.71-3.56), hypertension (OR, 1.47; 95% CI, 1.23-1.75), intraoperative blood transfusion (OR, 4.58; 95% CI, 2.31-9.10), and open surgery (OR, 1.51; 95% CI, 1.26-1.81). Patients with POAF had significantly higher in-hospital mortality (OR, 4.25; 95% CI, 2.79-6.45), longer hospital stays (MD, 3.07; 95% CI, 1.63-4.51), and higher incidences of pneumonia (OR, 3.32; 95% CI, 2.85-3.86), stroke (OR, 6.57; 95% CI, 1.56-26.00), and myocardial infarction (OR, 3.00; 95% CI, 1.45-6.20) than those without POAF. CONCLUSIONS: For patients with cancer, POAF is associated with an increased burden of comorbidities and worse outcomes.

RESUMO

Isorhamnetin, a natural flavonoid, has strong antioxidant and antifibrotic effects, and a regulatory effect against Ca2+-handling. Atrial remodeling due to fibrosis and abnormal intracellular Ca2+ activities contributes to initiation and persistence of atrial fibrillation (AF). The present study investigated the effect of isorhamnetin on angiotensin II (AngII)-induced AF in mice. Wild-type male mice (C57BL/6J, 8 weeks old) were assigned to three groups: (1) control group, (2) AngII-treated group, and (3) AngII- and isorhamnetin-treated group. AngII (1000 ng/kg/min) and isorhamnetin (5 mg/kg) were administered continuously via an implantable osmotic pump for two weeks and intraperitoneally one week before initiating AngII administration, respectively. AF induction and electrophysiological studies, Ca2+ imaging with isolated atrial myocytes and HL-1 cells, and action potential duration (APD) measurements using atrial tissue and HL-1 cells were performed. AF-related molecule expression was assessed and histopathological examination was performed. Isorhamnetin decreased AF inducibility compared with the AngII group and restored AngII-induced atrial effective refractory period prolongation. Isorhamnetin eliminated abnormal diastolic intracellular Ca2+ activities induced by AngII. Isorhamnetin also abrogated AngII-induced APD prolongation and abnormal Ca2+ loading in HL-1 cells. Furthermore, isorhamnetin strongly attenuated AngII-induced left atrial enlargement and atrial fibrosis. AngII-induced elevated expression of AF-associated molecules, such as ox-CaMKII, p-RyR2, p-JNK, p-ERK, and TRPC3/6, was improved by isorhamnetin treatment. The findings of the present study suggest that isorhamnetin prevents AngII-induced AF vulnerability and arrhythmogenic atrial remodeling, highlighting its therapeutic potential as an anti-arrhythmogenic pharmaceutical or dietary supplement.
