RESUMEN
This study aimed to investigate the effects and possible mechanisms of adenylate cyclase 1 (ADCY1) on pirarubicin-induced cardiomyocyte injury. HL-1 cells were treated with pirarubicin (THP) to induce intracellular toxicity, and the extent of damage to mouse cardiomyocytes was assessed using CCK-8, Edu, flow cytometry, ROS, ELISA, RT-qPCR and western blotting. THP treatment reduced the viability of HL-1 cells, inhibited proliferation, induced apoptosis and triggered oxidative stress. In addition, the RT-qPCR results revealed that ADCY1 expression was significantly elevated in HL-1 cells, and molecular docking showed a direct interaction between ADCY1 and THP. Western blotting showed that ADCY1, phospho-protein kinase A and GRIN2D expression were also significantly elevated. Knockdown of ADCY1 attenuated THP-induced cardiotoxicity, possibly by regulating the ADCY1/PKA/GRIN2D pathway.

BACKGROUND: Adriamycin (ADR) is a widely used chemotherapy drug in clinical practice and it causes toxicity in the myocardium affecting its clinical use. miR-432-5p is a miRNA primarily expressed in myocardial cells and has a protective effect in the myocardium. We aim to explore the protective effect of miR-432-5p on ADR-caused impaired mitochondrial ATP metabolism and endoplasmic reticulum stress (ERs). METHOD: The primary cardiomyocytes were obtained from neonatal mice and the ADR was added to cells, meanwhile, a mice model was constructed through intravenous ADR challenge, and expression levels of miR-432-5p were examined. Subsequently, the miR-432-5p was introduced in vitro and in vivo to explore its effect on the activity of mitochondrial ATP synthesis, autophagy, and ER stress. The bioinformatics analysis was performed to explore the target of miR-432-5p. RESULTS: ADR decreased the expression of miR-432-5p in cardiomyocytes. It also decreases mitochondrial ATP production and activates the ER stress pathway by increasing the expression of LC3B, Beclin 1, cleaved caspase 3, and induces cardiac toxicity. miR-432-5p exogenous supplementation can reduce the cardiotoxicity caused by ADR, and its protective effect on cardiomyocytes depends on the down-regulation of the RTN3 signaling pathway in ER. CONCLUSION: ADR can induce the low expression of miR-432-5p, and activate the RTN3 pathway in ER, increase the expression of LC3B, Beclin 1, cleaved caspase 3, CHOP, and RTN3, and induce cardiac toxicity.

OBJECTIVE: Doxorubicin (DOX)-induced cardiotoxicity limits the application of DOX in cancer patients. Currently, there is no effective prevention or treatment for DOX-induced cardiotoxicity. The cellular repressor of E1A-stimulated genes (CREG1) is a cardioprotective factor that plays an important role in the maintenance of cardiomyocytes differentiation and homeostasis. However, the role and mechanism of CREG1 in DOX-induced cardiotoxicity has not yet been elucidated. METHODS: In vivo, C57BL/6J mice, CREG1 transgenic and cardiac-specific CREG1 knockout mice were used to establish a DOX-induced cardiotoxicity model. H&E staining, Masson's trichrome, WGA staining, real-time PCR, and western blotting were performed to examine fibrosis and ferroptosis in the myocardium. In vitro, neonatal mouse cardiomyocytes (NMCMs) were cultured and stimulated with DOX, CREG1-overexpressed adenovirus, and small interfering RNA was used to establish CREG1 overexpression or knockdown cardiomyocytes. Transcriptomics, real-time PCR, western blotting, and immunoprecipitation were used to examine the roles and mechanisms of CREG1 in cardiomyocytes ferroptosis. RESULTS: The mRNA and protein levels of CREG1 were reduced in the hearts and NMCMs after DOX treatment. CREG1 overexpression alleviated myocardial damage and inhibited DOX-induced ferroptosis in the myocardium. CREG1 deficiency in the heart aggravated DOX-induced cardiotoxicity and ferroptosis. In vitro, CREG1 overexpression inhibited cardiomyocytes ferroptosis induced by DOX, and CREG1 knockdown aggravated DOX-induced cardiotoxicity. Mechanistically, CREG1 inhibited the mRNA and protein expression of pyruvate dehydrogenase kinase 4 (PDK4) by regulating the F-box and WD repeat domain containing 7 (FBXW7)-forkhead box O1 (FOXO1) pathway. PDK4 deficiency reversed the effects of CREG1 knockdown on cardiomyocytes ferroptosis following DOX treatment. CONCLUSION: CREG1 alleviated DOX-induced cardiotoxicity by inhibiting ferroptosis in cardiomyocytes. Our findings may help clarify the new roles of CREG1 in the development of DOX-induced cardiotoxicity.

BACKGROUND: Doxorubicin (Dox) is an effective chemotherapeutic drug for various cancers, but its clinical application is limited by severe cardiotoxicity. Dox treatment can transcriptionally activate multiple cardiotoxicity-associated genes in cardiomyocytes, the mechanisms underlying this global gene activation remain poorly understood. METHODS AND RESULTS: Herein, we integrated data from animal models, CUT&Tag and RNA-seq after Dox treatment, and discovered that the level of H3K27ac (a histone modification associated with gene activation) significantly increased in cardiomyocytes following Dox treatment. C646, an inhibitor of histone acetyltransferase, reversed Dox-induced H3K27ac accumulation in cardiomyocytes, which subsequently prevented the increase of Dox-induced DNA damage and apoptosis. Furthermore, C646 alleviated cardiac dysfunction in Dox-treated mice by restoring ejection fraction and reversing fractional shortening percentages. Additionally, Dox treatment increased H3K27ac deposition at the promoters of multiple cardiotoxic genes including Bax, Fas and Bnip3, resulting in their up-regulation. Moreover, the deposition of H3K27ac at cardiotoxicity-related genes exhibited a broad feature across the genome. Based on the deposition of H3K27ac and mRNA expression levels, several potential genes that might contribute to Dox-induced cardiotoxicity were predicted. Finally, the up-regulation of H3K27ac-regulated cardiotoxic genes upon Dox treatment is conservative across species. CONCLUSIONS: Taken together, Dox-induced epigenetic modification, specifically H3K27ac, acts as a molecular switch for the activation of robust cardiotoxicity-related genes, leading to cardiomyocyte death and cardiac dysfunction. These findings provide new insights into the relationship between Dox-induced cardiotoxicity and epigenetic regulation, and identify H3K27ac as a potential target for the prevention and treatment of Dox-induced cardiotoxicity.

There is a known genetic susceptibility to anthracycline-induced cardiac dysfunction in childhood cancer survivors, but this has not been adequately shown in adolescent and young adult (AYA) patients. Our aim was to determine if the previously identified variants associated with cardiac dysfunction in childhood cancer patients affect AYA cancer patients similarly. Forty-five variants were selected for analysis in 253 AYAs previously treated with anthracyclines. We identified four variants that were associated with cardiac dysfunction: SLC10A2:rs7319981 (p = 0.017), SLC22A17:rs4982753 (p = 0.019), HAS3:rs2232228 (p = 0.023), and RARG:rs2229774 (p = 0.050). HAS3:rs2232228 and SLC10A2:rs7319981 displayed significant effects in our AYA cancer survivor population that were in the opposite direction than that reported in childhood cancer survivors. Genetic variants in the host genes were further analyzed for additional associations with cardiotoxicity in AYA cancer survivors. The host genes were then evaluated in a panel of induced pluripotent stem cell-derived cardiomyocytes to assess changes in levels of expression when treated with doxorubicin. Significant upregulation of HAS3 and SLC22A17 expression was observed (p < 0.05), with non-significant anthracycline-responsivity observed for RARG. Our study demonstrates that there is a genetic influence on cardiac dysfunction in AYA cancer patients, but there may be a difference in the role of genetics between childhood and AYA cancer survivors.

Anthracyclines are chemotherapeutic drugs used to treat solid and hematologic malignancies. However, life-threatening cardiotoxicity, with cardiac dilation and heart failure, is a drawback. A combination of in vivo for single cell/nucleus RNA sequencing and in vitro approaches is used to elucidate the underlying mechanism. Genetic depletion and pharmacological blocking peptides on phosphatidylinositol binding clathrin assembly (PICALM) are used to evaluate the role of PICALM in doxorubicin-induced cardiotoxicity in vivo. Human heart tissue samples are used for verification. Patients with end-stage heart failure and chemotherapy-induced cardiotoxicity have thinner cell membranes compared to healthy controls do. Using the doxorubicin-induced cardiotoxicity mice model, it is possible to replicate the corresponding phenotype in patients. Cellular changes in doxorubicin-induced cardiotoxicity in mice, especially in cardiomyocytes, are identified using single cell/nucleus RNA sequencing. Picalm expression is upregulated only in cardiomyocytes with doxorubicin-induced cardiotoxicity. Amyloid ß-peptide production is also increased after doxorubicin treatment, which leads to a greater increase in the membrane permeability of cardiomyocytes. Genetic depletion and pharmacological blocking peptides on Picalm reduce the generation of amyloid ß-peptide. This alleviates the doxorubicin-induced cardiotoxicity in vitro and in vivo. In human heart tissue samples of patients with chemotherapy-induced cardiotoxicity, PICALM, and amyloid ß-peptide are elevated as well.

Doxorubicin (Dox) use is limited by Dox-induced cardiotoxicity. TANK-blinding kinase 1 (TBK1) is an important kinase involved in the regulation of mitophagy, but the role of TBK1 in cardiomyocytes in chronic Dox-induced cardiomyopathy remains unclear. Cardiomyocyte-specific Tbk1 knockout (Tbk1CKO) mice received Dox (6 mg/kg, injected intraperitoneally) once a week for 4 times, and cardiac assessment was performed 4 weeks after the final Dox injection. Adenoviruses encoding Tbk1 or containing shRNA targeting Tbk1, or a TBK1 phosphorylation inhibitor were used for overexpression or knockdown of Tbk1, or inhibit phosphorylation of TBK1 in isolated primary cardiomyocytes. Our results revealed that moderate Dox challenge decreased TBK1 phosphorylation (with no effect on TBK1 protein levels), resulting in compromised myocardial function, obvious mortality and overt interstitial fibrosis, and the effects were accentuated by Tbk1 deletion. Dox provoked mitochondrial membrane potential collapse and oxidative stress, the effects of which were exacerbated and mitigated by Tbk1 knockdown, specific inhibition of phosphorylation and overexpression, respectively. However, Tbk1 ï¼Ser172Aï¼ overexpression did not alleviate these effects. Further scrutiny revealed that TBK1 exerted protective effects on mitochondria via SQSTM1/P62-mediated mitophagy. Tbk1 overexpression mediated cardioprotective effects on Dox-induced cardiotoxicity were cancelled off by Sqstm1/P62 knockdown. Moreover, TBK1-mitophagy-mitochondria cascade was confirmed in heart tissues from dilated cardiomyopathy patients. Taken together, our findings denoted a pivotal role of TBK1 in Dox-induced mitochondrial injury and cardiotoxicity possibly through its phosphorylation and SQSTM1/P62-mediated mitophagy.

Trastuzumab is a monoclonal antibody used in oncotherapy for HER2-positive tumors. However, as an adverse effect, trastuzumab elevates the risk of heart failure, implying the involvement of energy production and mitochondrial processes. Past studies with transcriptome analysis have offered insights on pathways related to trastuzumab safety and toxicity but limited study sizes hinder conclusive findings. Therefore, we meta-analyzed mitochondria-related gene expression data in trastuzumab-treated cardiomyocytes. We searched the transcriptome databases for trastuzumab-treated cardiomyocytes in the ArrayExpress, DDBJ Omics Archive, Gene Expression Omnibus, Google Scholar, PubMed, and Web of Science repositories. A subset of 1270 genes related to mitochondrial functions (biogenesis, organization, mitophagy, and autophagy) was selected from the Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes and Gene Ontology Resource databases to conduct the present meta-analysis using the Metagen package (Study register at PROSPERO: CRD42021270645). Three datasets met the inclusion criteria and 1243 genes were meta-analyzed. We observed 69 upregulated genes after trastuzumab treatment which were related mainly to autophagy (28 genes) and mitochondrial organization (28 genes). We also found 37 downregulated genes which were related mainly to mitochondrial biogenesis (11 genes) and mitochondrial organization (24 genes). The present meta-analysis indicates that trastuzumab therapy causes an unbalance in mitochondrial functions, which could, in part, help explain the development of heart failure and yields a list of potential molecular targets. These findings contribute to our understanding of the molecular mechanisms underlying the cardiotoxic effects of trastuzumab and may have implications for the development of targeted therapies to mitigate such effects.

BACKGROUND: Long-term survival induced by anticancer treatments discloses emerging frailty among breast cancer (BC) survivors. Trastuzumab-induced cardiotoxicity (TIC) is reported in at least 5% of HER2+BC patients. However, TIC mechanism remains unclear and predictive genetic biomarkers are still lacking. Interaction between systemic inflammation, cytokine release and ADME genes in cancer patients might contribute to explain mechanisms underlying individual susceptibility to TIC and drug response variability. We present a single institution case series to investigate the potential role of genetic variants in ADME genes in HER2+BC patients TIC experienced. METHODS: We selected data related to 40 HER2+ BC patients undergone to DMET genotyping of ADME constitutive variant profiling, with the aim to prospectively explore their potential role in developing TIC. Only 3 patients ("case series"), who experienced TIC, were compared to 37 "control group" matched patients cardiotoxicity-sparing. All patients underwent to left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) evaluation at diagnosis and during anti-HER2 therapy. Each single probe was clustered to detect SNPs related to cardiotoxicity. RESULTS: In this retrospective analysis, our 3 cases were homogeneous in terms of clinical-pathological characteristics, trastuzumab-based treatment and LVEF decline. We identified 9 polymorphic variants in 8 ADME genes (UGT1A1, UGT1A6, UGT1A7, UGT2B15, SLC22A1, CYP3A5, ABCC4, CYP2D6) potentially associated with TIC. CONCLUSION: Real-world TIC incidence is higher compared to randomized clinical trials and biomarkers with potential predictive value aren't available. Our preliminary data, as proof of concept, could suggest a predictive role of pharmacogenomic approach in the identification of cardiotoxicity risk biomarkers for anti-HER2 treatment.

Doxorubicin (DOX) is a widely used antitumor drug, but its clinical applicability is hampered by the unfortunate side effect of DOX-induced cardiotoxicity (DIC). In our current study, we retrieved three high-throughput sequencing datasets related to DIC from the Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) datasets. We conducted differential analysis using R (DESeq2) to pinpoint differentially expressed genes (DEGs, and identified 11 genes that were consistently altered in both the control and DOX-treated groups. Notably, our Random Forest analysis of these three GEO datasets highlighted the significance of nuclear receptor subfamily 4 group A member 1 (NR4A1) in the context of DIC. The DOX-induced mouse model and cell model were used for the in vivo and in vitro studies to reveal the role of NR4A1 in DIC. We found that silencing NR4A1 by adeno-associated virus serotype 9 (AAV9) contained shRNA in vivo alleviated the DOX-induced cardiac dysfunction, cardiomyocyte injury and fibrosis. Mechanistically, we found NR4A1 silencing was able to inhibit DOX-induced the cleavage of NLRP3, IL-1ß and GSDMD in vivo. Further in vitro studies have shown that inhibition of NR4A1 suppressed DOX-induced cytotoxicity and oxidative stress through the same molecular mechanism. We prove that NR4A1 plays a critical role in DOX-induced cardiotoxicity by inducing pyroptosis via activation of the NLRP3 inflammasome, and it might be a promising therapeutic target for DIC.

TOP2 inhibitors (TOP2i) are effective drugs for breast cancer treatment. However, they can cause cardiotoxicity in some women. The most widely used TOP2i include anthracyclines (AC) Doxorubicin (DOX), Daunorubicin (DNR), Epirubicin (EPI), and the anthraquinone Mitoxantrone (MTX). It is unclear whether women would experience the same adverse effects from all drugs in this class, or if specific drugs would be preferable for certain individuals based on their cardiotoxicity risk profile. To investigate this, we studied the effects of treatment of DOX, DNR, EPI, MTX, and an unrelated monoclonal antibody Trastuzumab (TRZ) on iPSC-derived cardiomyocytes (iPSC-CMs) from six healthy females. All TOP2i induce cell death at concentrations observed in cancer patient serum, while TRZ does not. A sub-lethal dose of all TOP2i induces limited cellular stress but affects calcium handling, a function critical for cardiomyocyte contraction. TOP2i induce thousands of gene expression changes over time, giving rise to four distinct gene expression response signatures, denoted as TOP2i early-acute, early-sustained, and late response genes, and non-response genes. There is no drug- or AC-specific signature. TOP2i early response genes are enriched in chromatin regulators, which mediate AC sensitivity across breast cancer patients. However, there is increased transcriptional variability between individuals following AC treatments. To investigate potential genetic effects on response variability, we first identified a reported set of expression quantitative trait loci (eQTLs) uncovered following DOX treatment in iPSC-CMs. Indeed, DOX response eQTLs are enriched in genes that respond to all TOP2i. Next, we identified 38 genes in loci associated with AC toxicity by GWAS or TWAS. Two thirds of the genes that respond to at least one TOP2i, respond to all ACs with the same direction of effect. Our data demonstrate that TOP2i induce thousands of shared gene expression changes in cardiomyocytes, including genes near SNPs associated with inter-individual variation in response to DOX treatment and AC-induced cardiotoxicity.

BACKGROUND: The objective of our study was to determine the role of retinoic acid receptor gamma (RARG) rs2229774, SLC28A3 rs7853758, and UGT1A6*4 rs17863783 single-nucleotide polymorphisms in identifying the risk of doxorubicin-induced cardiotoxicity in pediatric solid tumors. METHODS: A total of 60 pediatric patients who had completed their treatment at least 2 years ago and 50 healthy children matched for age and sex were included in the study. All patients were evaluated for cardiotoxicity by echocardiography. The blood samples were analyzed for RARG rs2229774, SLC28A3 rs7853758, and UGT1A6*4 rs17863783 polymorphisms. Demographic characteristics, echocardiographic parameters, and genetic results of both groups were evaluated. RESULTS: In our study, the RARG rs2229774 AA genotype was associated with cardiotoxicity ( P =0.017). The SLC28A3 rs7853758 AA+GA genotype was detected more frequently in patients who did not develop cardiotoxicity ( P <0.023). Furthermore, the frequency of the SLC28A3 rs7853758 A allele was significantly lower in the cardiotoxicity group ( P <0.025). CONCLUSIONS: This is the first study in the Turkish population to investigate the correlation between the cardiotoxicity risk and 3 marker genes, which are recommended in the pharmacogenetic guideline for risk assessment in pediatric doxorubicin patients. The gene polymorphism that we investigated in this study was useful for the early prediction of cardiotoxicity risk.

Clinical application of chemotherapy in lung cancer is constrained by side effects, notably cardiotoxicity, the mechanisms of which remain elusive. This study assessed the potential of specific miRNAs as biomarkers for chemotherapy-induced cardiotoxicity in lung cancer. We employed two lung adenocarcinoma cell lines (Calu6 and H1792) and ventricular normal human cardiac fibroblasts (NHCF-V) in single and co-culture experiments. Functional tests were conducted using 100 µM carboplatin and 1µM vinorelbine doses. The effects of carboplatin and vinorelbine, both individually and in combination, were evaluated at cellular and molecular levels 48h post-therapy for both mono- and co-cultures. miR-205-5p, miR-21-5p, and miR-30a-5p, modulated by anticancer treatments and influencing cardiotoxicity, were analyzed. Vinorelbine and carboplatin treatment promoted apoptosis and autophagy in lung cancer cells and cardiac fibroblasts more than in controls. Western blot analyses revealed BCL2 and p53 protein upregulation. Using qRT-PCR, we investigated the expression dynamics of miR-21-5p, miR-30c-5p, and miR-205-5p in co-cultured cardiomyocytes and lung cancer cells, revealing altered miRNA patterns from vinorelbine and carboplatin treatment. Our findings underscore the intricate relationship between chemotherapy, miRNA regulation, and cardiotoxicity, highlighting the importance of cardiac health in lung cancer treatment decisions.

Anthracyclines remain the cornerstone of numerous chemotherapeutic protocols, with beneficial effects against haematological malignancies and solid tumours. Unfortunately, the clinical usefulness of anthracyclines is compromised by the development of cardiotoxic side effects, leading to dose limitations or treatment discontinuation. There is no absolute linear correlation between the incidence of cardiotoxicity and the threshold dose, suggesting that genetic factors may modify the association between anthracyclines and cardiotoxicity risk. And the majority of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) associated with anthracycline pharmacogenomics were identified in the ATP-binding cassette (ABC) and solute carrier (SLC) transporters, generating increasing interest in the pharmacogenetic implications of their genetic variations for anthracycline-induced cardiotoxicity (AIC). This review focuses on the influence of SLC and ABC polymorphisms on AIC and highlights the prospects and clinical significance of pharmacogenetics for individualised preventive approaches.

BACKGROUND: Currently, sepsis induced cardiotoxicity is among the major causes of sepsis-related death. The specific molecular mechanisms of sepsis induced cardiotoxicity are currently unknown. Therefore, the purpose of this paper is to identify the key molecule mechanisms for sepsis induced cardiotoxicity. METHODS: Original data of sepsis induced cardiotoxicity was derived from Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO; GSE63920; GSE44363; GSE159309) dataset. Functional enrichment analysis was used to analysis sepsis induced cardiotoxicity related signaling pathways. Our findings also have explored the relationship of cuproptosis and N6-Methyladenosine (m6A) in sepsis induced cardiotoxicity. Mice are randomly assigned to 3 groups: saline treatment control group, LPS group administered a single 5 mg/kg dose of LPS for 24 h, LPS + CD274 inhibitor group administered 10 mg/kg CD274 inhibitor for 24 h. RESULTS: Overall, expression of cuproptosis-related genes (CRGs) CD274, Ceruloplasmin (CP), Vascular endothelial growth factor A (VEGFA), Copper chaperone for cytochrome c oxidase 11 (COX11), chemokine C-C motif ligand 8 (CCL8), Mitogen-activated protein kinase kinase 1(MAP2K1), Amine oxidase 3 (AOC3) were significantly altered in sepsis induced cardiotoxicity. The results of spearman correlation analysis was significant relationship between differentially regulated genes (DEGs) of CRGs and the expression level of m6A methylation genes. GO and KEGG showed that these genes were enriched in response to interferon-beta, MHC class I peptide loading complex, proteasome core complex, chemokine receptor binding, TAP binding, chemokine activity, cytokine activity and many more. These findings suggest that cuproptosis is strongly associated with sepsis induced cardiotoxicity. CONCLUSION: In the present study, we found that cuproptosis were associated with sepsis induced cardiotoxicity. The CD274, CP, VEGFA, COX11, CCL8, MAP2K1, AOC3 genes are showing a significant difference expression in sepsis induced cardiotoxicity. Our studies have found significant correlations between CRGs and m6A methylation related genes in sepsis induced cardiotoxicity. These results provide insight into mechanism for sepsis induced cardiotoxicity.

BACKGROUND: The BRCA proteins play a key role in the homologous recombination (HR) pathway. Beyond BRCA1/2, other genes are involved in the HR repair (HRR). Due to the prominent role in the cellular repair process, pathogenic or likely pathogenic variants (PV/LPVs) in HRR genes may cause inadequate DNA damage repair in cardiomyocytes. PATIENTS AND METHODS: This was a multicenter, hospital-based, retrospective cohort study to investigate the heart toxicity from anthracycline-containing regimens (ACRs) in the adjuvant setting of breast cancer (BC) patients carrying germline BRCA PV/LPVs and no-BRCA HRR pathway genes. The left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) was assessed using cardiac ultrasound before starting ACR therapy and at subsequent time points according to clinical indications. RESULTS: Five hundred and three BC patients were included in the study. We predefined three groups: (i) BRCA cohort; (ii) no-BRCA cohort; (iii) variant of uncertain significance (VUS)/wild-type (WT) cohort. When baseline (T0) and post-ACR (T1) LVEFs between the three cohorts were compared, pre-treatment LVEF values were not different (BRCA1/2 versus HRR-no-BRCA versus VUS/WT cohort). Notably, during monitoring (T1, median 3.4 months), patients carrying BRCA or HRR no-BRCA germline pathogenic or likely pathogenic variants showed a statistically significant reduction of LVEF compared to baseline (T0). To assess the relevance of HRR on the results, we included the analysis of the subgroup of 20 BC patients carrying PV/LPVs in other genes not involved in HRR, such as mismatch repair genes (MUTYH, PMS2, MSH6). Unlike HRR genes, no significant differences in T0-T1 were found in this subgroup of patients. CONCLUSION: Our data suggest that deleterious variants in HRR genes, leading to impaired HR, could increase the sensitivity of cardiomyocytes to ACR in early BC patients. In this subgroup of patients, other measurements, such as the global longitudinal strain, and a more in-depth assessment of risk factors may be proposed in the future to optimize cardiovascular risk management and improve long-term survival.

Despite the widespread use of doxorubicin (DOX) as a chemotherapeutic agent, its severe cumulative cardiotoxicity represents a significant limitation. While the liposomal encapsulation of doxorubicin (Myocet, MYO) reduces cardiotoxicity, it is crucial to understand the molecular background of doxorubicin-induced cardiotoxicity. Here, we examined circular RNA expression in a translational model of pigs treated with either DOX or MYO and its potential impact on the global gene expression pattern in the myocardium. This study furthers our knowledge about the regulatory network of circRNA/miRNA/mRNA and its interaction with chemotherapeutics. Domestic pigs were treated with three cycles of anthracycline drugs (DOX, n = 5; MYO, n = 5) to induce cardiotoxicity. Untreated animals served as controls (control, n = 3). We applied a bulk mRNA-seq approach and the CIRIquant algorithm to identify circRNAs. The most differentially regulated circRNAs were validated under cell culture conditions, following forecasting of the circRNA-miRNA-mRNA network. We identified eight novel significantly regulated circRNAs from exonic and mitochondrial regions in the porcine myocardium. The forecasted circRNA-miRNA-mRNA network suggested candidate circRNAs that sponge miR-17, miR-15b, miR-130b, the let-7 family, and miR125, together with their mRNA targets. The identified circRNA-miRNA-mRNA network provides an updated, coherent view of the mechanisms involved in anthracycline-induced cardiotoxicity.

Sorafenib, a multi-targeted tyrosine kinase inhibitor, is a first-line treatment for advanced solid tumors, but it induces many adverse cardiovascular events, including myocardial infarction and heart failure. These cardiac defects can be mediated by alternative splicing of genes critical for heart function. Whether alternative splicing plays a role in sorafenib-induced cardiotoxicity remains unclear. Transcriptome of rat hearts or human cardiomyocytes treated with sorafenib was analyzed and validated to define alternatively spliced genes and their impact on cardiotoxicity. In rats, sorafenib caused severe cardiotoxicity with decreased left ventricular systolic pressure, elongated sarcomere, enlarged mitochondria and decreased ATP. This was associated with alternative splicing of hundreds of genes in the hearts, many of which were targets of a cardiac specific splicing factor, RBM20. Sorafenib inhibited RBM20 expression in both rat hearts and human cardiomyocytes. The splicing of RBM20's targets, SLC25A3 and FHOD3, was altered into fetal isoforms with decreased function. Upregulation of RBM20 during sorafenib treatment reversed the pathogenic splicing of SLC25A3 and FHOD3, and enhanced the phosphate transport into mitochondria by SLC25A3, ATP synthesis and cell survival.We envision this regulation may happen in many drug-induced cardiotoxicity, and represent a potential druggable pathway for mitigating sorafenib-induced cardiotoxicity.

Doxorubicin (DOX) is a chemotherapeutic drug widely used in the field of cancer, but its side effects on the heart hinder its clinical application. In cardiac injury caused by DOX, apoptosis and oxidative stress are both involved in cardiac damage, and autophagy is also one of the key responses. Both apoptosis and oxidative stress interact with autophagy. Proper promotion of autophagy effectively protects the myocardium and blocks cardiac injury. DOX mainly acts downstream of the autophagic flow and hinders the degradation process of autophagolysosomes, resulting in abnormal accumulation of autophagolysosomes in cells, which can prevent the timely removal of harmful substances and disrupt the normal function of cells. Proprotein convertase subtilisin/kexin type 6 (PCSK6) is involved in the occurrence and development of various cardiovascular diseases, blood pressure regulation and the inflammatory response, but its role in DOX is still unclear. Here, we constructed cardiac PCSK6-overexpressing mice by injecting AAV9-PCSK6. Both in vivo and in vitro experiments confirmed that overexpression of PCSK6 effectively protected cardiac function, inhibited apoptosis and oxidative stress. We focused on the effect of PCSK6 overexpression on autophagy. We have detected an increase in autophagosomes production and a decrease in autophagolysosomes accumulation. This suggests that PCSK6 promotes the level of autophagy, while possibly acting on the sites where DOX inhibits degradation, so that the autophagic flux inhibited by DOX is restored and the degradation process of autophagolysosomes is restored. The effect of PCSK6 was dependent on FOXO3a, which promoted the nuclear translocation of Forkhead box O3 (FOXO3a), and Sirtuin 1 (SIRT1) regulated the expression of FOXO3a. When SIRT1 was inhibited, the protective effect of PCSK6 was diminished. In conclusion, overexpression of PCSK6 exerts a protective effect through SIRT1/FOXO3a in cardiac injury induced by DOX, suggesting that PCSK6 may be a therapeutic target for DOX cardiomyopathy.

Doxorubicin (DOX), a broad-spectrum chemotherapy drug, is widely applied to the treatment of cancer; however, DOX-induced cardiotoxicity (DIC) limits its clinical therapeutic utility. However, it is difficult to monitor and detect DIC at an early stage using conventional detection methods. Thus, sensitive, accurate, and specific methods of diagnosis and treatment are important in clinical practice. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) belong to non-coding RNAs (ncRNAs) and are stable and easy to detect. Moreover, miRNAs are expected to become biomarkers and therapeutic targets for DIC; thus, there are currently many studies focusing on the role of miRNAs in DIC. In this review, we list the prominent studies on the diagnosis and treatment of miRNAs in DIC, explore the feasibility and difficulties of using miRNAs as diagnostic biomarkers and therapeutic targets, and provide recommendations for future research.
