Abstract
The compound 6PPD is widely acknowledged for its antioxidative properties; however, concerns regarding its impact on aquatic organisms have spurred comprehensive investigations. In our study, we advanced our comprehension by revealing that exposure to 6PPD could induce cardiac dysfunction, myocardial injury and DNA damage in adult zebrafish. Furthermore, our exploration unveiled that the exposure of cardiomyocytes to 6PPD resulted in apoptosis and mitochondrial injury, as corroborated by analyses using transmission electron microscopy and flow cytometry. Significantly, our study demonstrated the activation of the autophagy pathway in both the heart of zebrafish and cardiomyocytes, as substantiated by transmission electron microscopy and immunofluorescent techniques. Importantly, the increased the expression of P62 in the heart and cardiomyocytes suggested an inhibition of the autophagic process. The reduction in autophagy flux was also verified through in vivo experiments involving the infection of mCherry-GFP-LC3. We further identified that the fusion of autophagosomes and lysosomes was impaired in the 6PPD treatment group. In summary, our findings indicated that the impaired fusion of autophagosomes and lysosomes hampered the autophagic degradation process, leading to apoptosis and ultimately resulting in cardiac dysfunction and myocardial injury. This study discovered the crucial role of the autophagy pathway in regulating 6PPD-induced cardiotoxicity. SYNOPSIS: 6PPD exposure inhibited the autophagic degradation process and induced mitochondrial injury and apoptosis in the heart of adult zebrafish.

Abstract
Human induced pluripotent stem cell cardiomyocytes (hiPSC-CMs) allow for high-throughput evaluation of cardiomyocyte (CM) physiology in health and disease. While multimodality testing provides a large breadth of information related to electrophysiology, contractility, and intracellular signaling in small populations of iPSC-CMs, current technologies for analyzing these parameters are expensive and resource-intensive. We sought to design a 2D/3D hybrid organoid system and harness optical imaging techniques to assess electromechanical properties, calcium dynamics, and signal propagation across CMs in a high-throughput manner. We validated our methods using a doxorubicin-based system, as the drug has well-characterized cardiotoxic, pro-arrhythmic effects. hiPSCs were differentiated into CMs, assembled into organoids, and thereafter treated with doxorubicin. The organoids were then replated to form a hybrid 2D/3D iPSC-CM construct where the 3D cardiac organoids acted as the source of electromechanical activity which propagated outwards into a 2D iPSC-CM sheet. The organoid recapitulated cardiac structure and connectivity, while 2D CMs facilitated analysis at an individual cellular level which recreated numerous doxorubicin-induced electrophysiologic and propagation abnormalities. Thus, we have developed a novel 2D/3D hybrid organoid model that employs an integrated optical analysis platform to provide a reliable high-throughput method for studying cardiotoxicity, providing valuable data on calcium, contractility, and signal propagation.

Abstract
BACKGROUND It has been reported that early detection and treatment of cancer therapy- related cardiac dysfunction (CTRCD) improves its prognosis. The detailed relationships between electrocardiographic repolarization indices and decreased left ventricular function in CTRCD have not been elucidated. We closely assessed such relationships in patients with doxorubicin (DOX)-induced CTRCD. METHODS This retrospective, single-center, cohort study included 471 consecutive patients with malignant lymphoma who received chemotherapy including DOX. Of them, 17 patients with CTRCD and 68 patients without CTRCD who underwent 12‑lead electrocardiogram and an echocardiogram before and after chemotherapy were eventually analyzed. The fluctuations of the following electrocardiographic repolarization indices were evaluated in lead V5: QT, JT, T peak to T end interval (Tp-e), and activation recovery interval (ARI). These indices were corrected by heart rate with the Fridericia formula. RESULTS The median period from the end of chemotherapy to the diagnosis of the CTRCD group was 346 days (IQR 170-1283 days). After chemotherapy, the QT interval was significantly prolonged in both with and without CTRCD groups compared with that before chemotherapy (pre QTc vs. post QTc in CTRCD group, 386 ± 27 ms vs. 411 ± 37 ms, p = 0.03, pre QTc vs. post QTc in non-CTRCD group, 388 ± 24 ms vs. 395 ± 25 ms, p = 0.04, respectively). ARIc after chemotherapy was characteristically observed only in the CTRCD group (pre ARIc vs. post ARIc in CTRCD group, 258 ± 53 ms vs. 211 ± 28 ms, p = 0.03, pre ARIc vs. post ARIc in non-CTRCD group, 221 ± 19 ms vs. 225 ± 23 ms, NS, respectively) and had negative correlations with left ventricular ejection fraction (r = -0.56, p < 0.001). Using the receiver-operating characteristic curve, the relationship between ARIc and CTRCD morbidity was examined. The optimal cut-off point of ARIc prolongation between before and after chemotherapy was 18 ms (sensitivity 75 %, specificity 79 %, area under the curve 0.76). CONCLUSIONS ARIc prolongation may be useful in the early detection of developing late-onset chronic DOX-induced CTRCD and lead to early treatment for cardiac protection.

Abstract
Heart failure is a serious global health challenge, affecting more than 6.2 million people in the United States and is projected to reach over 8 million by 2030. Independent of etiology, failing hearts share common features, including defective calcium (Ca2+) handling, mitochondrial Ca2+ overload, and oxidative stress. In cardiomyocytes, Ca2+ not only regulates excitation-contraction coupling, but also mitochondrial metabolism and oxidative stress signaling, thereby controlling the function and actual destiny of the cell. Understanding the mechanisms of mitochondrial Ca2+ uptake and the molecular pathways involved in the regulation of increased mitochondrial Ca2+ influx is an ongoing challenge in order to identify novel therapeutic targets to alleviate the burden of heart failure. In this review, we discuss the mechanisms underlying altered mitochondrial Ca2+ handling in heart failure and the potential therapeutic strategies.

Abstract
Noise is present in cell biology. The capability of cells to respond to noisy environment have become essential. This study aimed to investigate whether noise can enhance the contractile response and Ca2+ handling in cardiomyocytes from a cardiomyopathy model. Experiments were conducted in an experimental setup with Gaussian white noise, frequency, and amplitude control to stimulate myocytes. Cell shortening, maximal shortening velocity, time to peak shortening, and time to half relaxation variables were recorded to cell shortening. Ca2+ transient amplitude and raise rate variables were registered to measure Ca2+ transients. Our results for cell shortening, Ca2+ transient amplitude, and raise rate suggest that cell response improve when myocytes are noise stimulated. Also, cell shortening, maximal shortening velocity, Ca2+ transient amplitude, and raise improves in control cells. Altogether, these findings suggest novel characteristics in how cells improve their response in a noisy environment.

Mol Cell Biochem 2023:10.1007/s11010-023-04830-z.

Abstract
In animal studies, sodium-glucose co-transporter-2 inhibitors-such as empagliflozin-have been shown to improve heart failure and impaired cardiac contractility induced by anthracyclines-including doxorubicin-although the therapeutic mechanism remains unclear. Moreover, abnormalities in Ca2+ handling within ventricular myocytes are the predominant feature of heart failure. Accordingly, this study aimed to investigate whether empagliflozin can alleviate Ca2+ handling disorders induced by acute doxorubicin exposure and elucidate the underlying mechanisms. To this end, ventricular myocytes were isolated from C57BL/6 mice. Contraction function, Ca2+ handling, and mitochondrial reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation were then evaluated using IonOptix or confocal microscopy. Ca2+ handling proteins were detected by western blotting. Results show that incubation with 1 μmol/L of doxorubicin for 120-min impaired cardiac contractility in isolated myocytes, which was significantly alleviated by pretreatment with 1 μmol/L of empagliflozin. Doxorubicin also markedly induced Ca2+ handling disorders, including decreased Ca2+ transients, prolonged Ca2+ transient decay time, enhanced frequency of Ca2+ sparks, and decreased Ca2+ content in the sarcoplasmic reticulum. These dysregulations were improved by pretreatment with empagliflozin. Moreover, empagliflozin effectively inhibited doxorubicin-induced mitochondrial ROS production in isolated myocytes and rescued doxorubicin-induced oxidation of Ca2+/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase II (ox-CaMKII) and CaMKII-dependent phosphorylation of RyR2. Similarly, preincubation with 10 μmol/L Mito-TEMPO mimicked the protective effects of empagliflozin. Collectively, Empagliflozin ameliorated the doxorubicin-induced contraction malfunction and Ca2+-handling disorders. These findings suggest that empagliflozin alleviates Ca2+-handling disorders by improving ROS production in the mitochondria and alleviating the enhanced oxidative CaMKII signaling pathway induced by doxorubicin.

Abstract
Anthracyclines, such as doxorubicin (Dox), are widely used chemotherapeutic agents for the treatment of solid tumors and hematologic malignancies. However, they frequently induce cardiotoxicity leading to dilated cardiomyopathy and heart failure. This study sought to investigate the role of the exchange protein directly activated by cAMP (EPAC) in Dox-induced cardiotoxicity and the potential cardioprotective effects of EPAC inhibition. We show that Dox induces DNA damage and cardiomyocyte cell death with apoptotic features. Dox also led to an increase in both cAMP concentration and EPAC1 activity. The pharmacological inhibition of EPAC1 (with CE3F4) but not EPAC2 alleviated the whole Dox-induced pattern of alterations. When administered in vivo, Dox-treated WT mice developed a dilated cardiomyopathy which was totally prevented in EPAC1 knock-out (KO) mice. Moreover, EPAC1 inhibition potentiated Dox-induced cell death in several human cancer cell lines. Thus, EPAC1 inhibition appears as a potential therapeutic strategy to limit Dox-induced cardiomyopathy without interfering with its antitumoral activity.

Abstract
Intermittent hypoxic preconditioning (IHP) is a well-established cardioprotective intervention in models of ischemia/reperfusion injury. Nevertheless, the significance of IHP in different cardiac pathologies remains elusive. In order to investigate the role of IHP and its effects on calcium-dependent signalization in HF, we employed a model of cardiomyopathy induced by doxorubicin (Dox), a widely used drug from the class of cardiotoxic antineoplastics, which was i.p. injected to Wistar rats (4 applications of 4 mg/kg/week). IHP-treated group was exposed to IHP for 2 weeks prior to Dox administration. IHP ameliorated Dox-induced reduction in cardiac output. Western blot analysis revealed increased expression of sarco/endoplasmic reticulum Ca2+-ATPase (SERCA2a) while the expression of hypoxia inducible factor (HIF)-1-α, which is a crucial regulator of hypoxia-inducible genes, was not changed. Animals administered with Dox had further decreased expression of TRPV1 and TRPV4 (transient receptor potential, vanilloid subtype) ion channels along with suppressed Ca2+/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase II (CaMKII) activation. In summary, IHP-mediated improvement in cardiac output in the model of Dox-induced cardiomyopathy is likely a result of increased SERCA2a expression which could implicate IHP as a potential protective intervention in Dox cardiomyopathy, however, further analysis of observed effects is still required.

Abstract
Doxorubicin (DOX) is a powerful and commonly used chemotherapeutic drug, used alone or in combination in a variety of cancers, while it has been found to cause serious cardiac side effects in clinical application. More and more researchers are trying to explore the molecular mechanisms of DOX-induced cardiomyopathy (DIC), in which oxidative stress and inflammation are considered to play a significant role. This review summarizes signaling pathways related to oxidative stress and inflammation in DIC and compounds that exert cardioprotective effects by acting on relevant signaling pathways, including the role of Nrf2/Keap1/ARE, Sirt1/p66Shc, Sirt1/PPAR/PGC-1α signaling pathways and NOS, NOX, Fe2+ signaling in oxidative stress, as well as the role of NLRP3/caspase-1/GSDMD, HMGB1/TLR4/MAPKs/NF-κB, mTOR/TFEB/NF-κB pathways in DOX-induced inflammation. Hence, we attempt to explain the mechanisms of DIC in terms of oxidative stress and inflammation, and to provide a theoretical basis or new idea for further drug research on reducing DIC.

Neurotoxic Effect of Doxorubicin Treatment on Cardiac Sympathetic Neurons. Int J Mol Sci 2022; 23:ijms231911098. [PMID: 36232393 PMCID: PMC9569551 DOI: 10.3390/ijms231911098] [Citation(s) in RCA: 8] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/10/2022] [Revised: 09/14/2022] [Accepted: 09/17/2022] [Indexed: 11/26/2022] Open
Abstract
Doxorubicin (DOXO) remains amongst the most commonly used anti-cancer agents for the treatment of solid tumors, lymphomas, and leukemias. However, its clinical use is hampered by cardiotoxicity, characterized by heart failure and arrhythmias, which may require chemotherapy interruption, with devastating consequences on patient survival and quality of life. Although the adverse cardiac effects of DOXO are consolidated, the underlying mechanisms are still incompletely understood. It was previously shown that DOXO leads to proteotoxic cardiomyocyte (CM) death and myocardial fibrosis, both mechanisms leading to mechanical and electrical dysfunction. While several works focused on CMs as the culprits of DOXO-induced arrhythmias and heart failure, recent studies suggest that DOXO may also affect cardiac sympathetic neurons (cSNs), which would thus represent additional cells targeted in DOXO-cardiotoxicity. Confocal immunofluorescence and morphometric analyses revealed alterations in SN innervation density and topology in hearts from DOXO-treated mice, which was consistent with the reduced cardiotropic effect of adrenergic neurons in vivo. Ex vivo analyses suggested that DOXO-induced denervation may be linked to reduced neurotrophic input, which we have shown to rely on nerve growth factor, released from innervated CMs. Notably, similar alterations were observed in explanted hearts from DOXO-treated patients. Our data demonstrate that chemotherapy cardiotoxicity includes alterations in cardiac innervation, unveiling a previously unrecognized effect of DOXO on cardiac autonomic regulation, which is involved in both cardiac physiology and pathology, including heart failure and arrhythmias.

Calcium Overload or Underload? The Effects of Doxorubicin on the Calcium Dynamics in Guinea Pig Hearts. Biomedicines 2022; 10:biomedicines10092197. [PMID: 36140298 PMCID: PMC9496179 DOI: 10.3390/biomedicines10092197] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/06/2022] [Revised: 08/29/2022] [Accepted: 08/31/2022] [Indexed: 11/17/2022] Open
Abstract
The severe doxorubicin (DOXO) side effect of cardiomyopathy limits it clinical application as an effective anticancer drug. Although Ca2+ overload was postulated as one of the mechanisms for this toxicity, its role was, however, disputable in terms of the contractile dysfunction. In this work, the dynamics of the intracellular Ca2+ signal were optically mapped in a Langendorff guinea pig heart. We found that DOXO treatment: (1) Delayed the activation of the Ca2+ signal. With the reference time set at the peak of the action potential (AP), the time lag between the peak of the Ca2+ signal and AP (Ca-AP-Lag) was significantly prolonged. (2) Slowed down the intracellular Ca2+ releasing and sequestering process. Both the maximum rising (MRV) and falling (MFV) velocity of the Ca2+ signal were decreased. (3) Shortened the duration of the Ca2+ signal in one cycle of Ca2+ oscillation. The duration of the Ca2+ signal at 50% amplitude (CaD50) was significantly shortened. These results suggested a reduced level of intracellular Ca2+ after DOXO treatment. Furthermore, we found that the effect of tachypacing was similar to that of DOXO, and, interestingly, DOXO exerted contradictory effects on the tachypaced hearts: it shortened the Ca-AP-Lag, accelerated the MRV and MFV, and prolonged the CaD50. We, therefore, concluded that DOXO had a different effect on intracellular Ca2+. It caused Ca2+ underload in hearts with sinus rhythm; this might relate to the contractile dysfunction in DOXO cardiomyopathy. It led to Ca2+ overload in the tachypaced hearts, which might contribute to the Ca2+-overload-related toxicity.

Cardioprotective effects of Talinum paniculatum (Jacq.) Gaertn. in doxorubicin-induced cardiotoxicity in hypertensive rats. JOURNAL OF ETHNOPHARMACOLOGY 2021; 281:114568.

Abstract
ETHNOPHARMACOLOGICAL RELEVANCE Talinum paniculatum (Jacq.) Gaertn. (Talinaceae) is a medicinal species that is widely distributed throughout Brazil. Popularly known as "major-gomes," the species is used in folk medicine for the treatment of cardiovascular disorders. AIM OF THE STUDY To evaluate the effect of an ethanolic extract of T. paniculatum (EETP) in rats with renovascular hypertension and heart failure and determine its chemical composition. MATERIALS AND METHODS First, EETP was obtained, and its chemical profile was analyzed by LC-DAD-MS. The acute toxicity was evaluated in female Wistar rats. The model of renovascular hypertension was established in male Wistar rats by combining the Goldblatt 2K1C method and intraperitoneal doxorubicin administration for 6 weeks. The animals were then treated daily with EETP (30, 100, and 300 mg/kg) or metoprolol (25 mg/kg) by gavage for 28 days. The negative control group was treated with vehicle (filtered water). The sham group consisted of animals that were not subjected to 2K1C or cardiotoxicity and were treated with vehicle. Renal function was evaluated on days 1, 14, and 28. At the end of treatment, the electrocardiographic profile, blood pressure, and mesenteric vascular reactivity were investigated. Serum urea, creatinine, angiotensin converting enzyme, nitrotyrosine, malondialdehyde, nitrite, aldosterone, and sodium and potassium levels were measured. The heart, aorta artery, liver, and right kidney were collected, weighed, and processed for histopathological analysis. Cardiac chambers also underwent morphometric analysis. RESULTS No signs of toxicity were observed in female Wistar rats. Thirty-two compounds were annotated from EETP, including flavonoids, chlorogenic acids, and saponins. EETP treatment resulted in a significant cardiorenal-protective response, normalizing electrocardiographic and hemodynamic alterations, and preventing ventricle remodeling. These effects were associated with serum antioxidant activity and angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibition. CONCLUSION The present study demonstrated that EETP may exert cardioprotective effects through serum antioxidant activity and ACE inhibition, preventing alterations of hemodynamic and endothelial function, and reducing damage to cardiac structure. Thus, EETP, especially at the 100 and 300 mg/kg doses, may be useful for preventing doxorubicin-induced cardiotoxicity in hypertensive patients.

Abstract
MCC950, an NLRP3 inflammasome inhibitor, displays multiple pharmacological properties. However, the protective potential and underlying mechanism of MCC950 against doxorubicin (DOX)-induced myocardial injury has not been well investigated yet. Herein, DOX-induced myocardial injury in mice and in H9c2 myocardial cells was investigated, and the protective effects and underlying mechanism of MCC950 were fully explored. The results showed that MCC950 co-treatment significantly improved myocardial function, inhibited inflammatory and myocardial fibrosis, and attenuated cardiomyocyte pyroptosis in DOX-treated mice. Mechanismly, MCC950 had the potential to inhibit DOX-induced the cleavage of NLRP3, ASC, Caspase-1, IL-18, IL-1β and GSDMD in vivo. Moreover, MCC950 co-treatment in vivo suppressed DOX-induced cytotoxicity as well as inflammatory and cardiomyocyte pyroptosis through the same molecular mechanism. Taken together, our findings validated that MCC950, an NLRP3 inflammasome inhibitor, has the potential to attenuate doxorubicin-induced myocardial injury in vivo and in vitro by inhibiting NLRP3-mediated pyroptosis.

Abstract
Empagliflozin (EMPA) is a SGLT-2 inhibitor that has positive effects on cardiovascular outcomes. In this study, we aim to evaluate the possible protective effects of EMPA against doxorubicin (DOX)-induced acute cardiotoxicity. Non-diabetic Sprague-Dawley rats were randomized into four groups. The control group received serum physiologic (1 ml), the EMPA group received EMPA, the DOX group was administered cumulatively 18 mg/kg body weight DOX. The DOX+EMPA group was administered DOX and EMPA. In the DOX group, LVDED (P < 0.05) and LVSED (P < 0.01), QTc interval (P < 0.001), the ratio of karyolysis and karyorrhexis (P < 0.001) and infiltrative cell proliferation (P < 0.001) were found to be higher than; EF, FS and normal cell morphology were lower than the control group (P < 0.001). In the DOX+EMPA group, LVEDD (P < 0.05) and LVESD (P < 0.01) values, QTc interval (P < 0.001), karyolysis and karyorrhexis ratios (P < 0.001) and infiltrative cell proliferation were lower (P < 0.01); normal cell morphology and EF were higher compared to the DOX group (P < 0.001). Our results showed that empagliflozin significantly ameliorated DOX-induced acute cardiotoxicity.

Background Combined treatment with anthracyclines (e.g., doxorubicin; Dox) and trastuzumab (Trz), a humanized anti-human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2; ErbB2) antibody, in patients with HER2-positive cancer is limited by cardiotoxicity, as manifested by contractile dysfunction and arrhythmia. The respective roles of the two agents in the cardiotoxicity of the combined therapy are incompletely understood. Objective To assess cardiac performance, T-tubule organization, electrophysiological changes and intracellular Ca2+ handling in cardiac myocytes (CMs) using an in vivo rat model of Dox/Trz-related cardiotoxicity. Methods and Results Adult rats received 6 doses of either Dox or Trz, or the two agents sequentially. Dox-mediated left ventricular (LV) dysfunction was aggravated by Trz administration. Dox treatment, but not Trz, induced T-tubule disarray. Moreover, Dox, but not Trz monotherapy, induced prolonged action potential duration (APD), increased incidence of delayed afterdepolarizations (DADs) and beat-to-beat variability of repolarization (BVR), and slower Ca2+ transient decay. Although APD, DADs, BVR and Ca2+ transient decay recovered over time after the cessation of Dox treatment, subsequent Trz administration exacerbated these abnormalities. Trz, but not Dox, reduced Ca2+ transient amplitude and SR Ca2+ content, although only Dox treatment was associated with SERCA downregulation. Finally, Dox treatment increased Ca2+ spark frequency, resting Ca2+ waves, sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) Ca2+ leak, and long-lasting Ca2+ release events (so-called Ca2+ “embers”), partially reproduced by Trz treatment. Conclusion These results suggest that in vivo Dox but not Trz administration causes T-tubule disarray and pronounced changes in electrical activity of CMs. While adaptive changes may account for normal AP shape and reduced DADs late after Dox administration, subsequent Trz administration interferes with such adaptive changes. Intracellular Ca2+ handling was differently affected by Dox and Trz treatment, leading to SR instability in both cases. These findings illustrate the specific roles of Dox and Trz, and their interactions in cardiotoxicity and arrhythmogenicity.

Abstract
Doxorubicin (DOX) is an anthracycline chemotherapy drug used in the treatment of various types of cancer. However, short-term and long-term cardiotoxicity limits the clinical application of DOX. Currently, dexrazoxane is the only approved treatment by the United States Food and Drug Administration to prevent DOX-induced cardiotoxicity. However, a recent study found that pre-treatment with dexrazoxane could not fully improve myocardial toxicity of DOX. Therefore, further targeted cardioprotective prophylaxis and treatment strategies are an urgent requirement for cancer patients receiving DOX treatment to reduce the occurrence of cardiotoxicity. Accumulating evidence manifested that Sirtuin 1 (SIRT1) could play a crucially protective role in heart diseases. Recently, numerous studies have concentrated on the role of SIRT1 in DOX-induced cardiotoxicity, which might be related to the activity and deacetylation of SIRT1 downstream targets. Therefore, the aim of this review was to summarize the recent advances related to the protective effects, mechanisms, and deficiencies in clinical application of SIRT1 in DOX-induced cardiotoxicity. Also, the pharmaceutical preparations that activate SIRT1 and affect DOX-induced cardiotoxicity have been listed in this review.

Abstract
Protein kinase A (PKA) is a central regulator of cardiac performance and morphology. Myocardial PKA activation is induced by a variety of hormones, neurotransmitters and stress signals, most notably catecholamines secreted by the sympathetic nervous system. Catecholamines bind β-adrenergic receptors to stimulate cAMP-dependent PKA activation in cardiomyocytes. Elevated PKA activity enhances Ca2+ cycling and increases cardiac muscle contractility. Dynamic control of PKA is essential for cardiac homeostasis, as dysregulation of PKA signaling is associated with a broad range of heart diseases. Specifically, abnormal PKA activation or inactivation contributes to the pathogenesis of myocardial ischemia, hypertrophy, heart failure, as well as diabetic, takotsubo, or anthracycline cardiomyopathies. PKA may also determine sex-dependent differences in contractile function and heart disease predisposition. Here, we describe the recent advances regarding the roles of PKA in cardiac physiology and pathology, highlighting previous study limitations and future research directions. Moreover, we discuss the therapeutic strategies and molecular mechanisms associated with cardiac PKA biology. In summary, PKA could serve as a promising drug target for cardioprotection. Depending on disease types and mechanisms, therapeutic intervention may require either inhibition or activation of PKA. Therefore, specific PKA inhibitors or activators may represent valuable drug candidates for the treatment of heart diseases.

Abstract
Doxorubicin (DOX) is a boon for cancer-suffering patients. However, the undesirable effect on health on vital organs, especially the heart, is a limiting factor, resulting in an increased number of patients with cardiac dysfunction. The present review focuses on the contractile machinery and associated factors, which get affected due to DOX toxicity in chemo-patients for which they are kept under life-long investigation for cardiac function. DOX-induced oxidative stress disrupts the integrity of cardiac contractile muscle proteins that alter the rhythmic mechanism and oxygen consumption rate of the heart. DOX is an oxidant and it is further discussed that oxidative stress prompts the damage of contractile components and associated factors, which include Ca2+ load through Ca2+ ATPase, SERCA, ryanodine receptor-2, phospholamban, and calsequestrin, which ultimately results in left ventricular ejection and dilation. Based on data and evidence, the associated proteins can be considered as clinical markers to develop medications for patients. Even with the advancement of various diagnosing tools and modified drugs to mitigate DOX-induced cardiotoxicity, the risk could not be surmounted with survivors of cancer.

Abstract
Excitation-contraction coupling links excitation of the sarcolemmal surface membrane to mechanical contraction. In the heart this link is established via a Ca2+-induced Ca2+ release process, which, following sarcolemmal depolarisation, prompts Ca2+ release from the sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) though the ryanodine receptor (RyR2). This substantially raises the cytoplasmic Ca2+ concentration to trigger systole. In diastole, Ca2+ is removed from the cytoplasm, primarily via the sarcoplasmic-endoplasmic reticulum Ca2+-dependent ATPase (SERCA) pump on the SR membrane, returning Ca2+ to the SR store. Ca2+ movement across the SR is thus fundamental to the systole/diastole cycle and plays an essential role in maintaining cardiac contractile function. Altered SR Ca2+ homeostasis (due to disrupted Ca2+ release, storage, and reuptake pathways) is a central tenet of heart failure and contributes to depressed contractility, impaired relaxation, and propensity to arrhythmia. This review will focus on the molecular mechanisms that underlie asynchronous Ca2+ cycling around the SR in the failing heart. Further, this review will illustrate that the combined effects of expression changes and disruptions to RyR2 and SERCA2a regulatory pathways are critical to the pathogenesis of heart failure.

Abstract
Significance: The cardiac side effects of hematological treatments are a major issue of the growing population of cancer survivors, often affecting patient survival even more than the tumor for which the treatment was initially prescribed. Among the most cardiotoxic drugs are anthracyclines (ANTs), highly potent antitumor agents, which still represent a mainstay in the treatment of hematological and solid tumors. Unfortunately, diagnosis, prevention, and treatment of cardiotoxicity are still unmet clinical needs, which call for a better understanding of the molecular mechanism behind the pathology. Recent Advances: This review article will discuss recent findings on the pathomechanisms underlying the cardiotoxicity of ANTs, spanning from DNA and mitochondrial damage to calcium homeostasis, autophagy, and apoptosis. Special emphasis will be given to the role of reactive oxygen species and their interplay with major signaling pathways. Critical Issues: Although new promising therapeutic targets and new drugs have started to be identified, their efficacy has been mainly proven in preclinical studies and requires clinical validation. Future Directions: Future studies are awaited to confirm the relevance of recently uncovered targets, as well as to identify new druggable pathways, in more clinically relevant models, including, for example, human induced pluripotent stem cell-derived cardiomyocytes.

Abstract
Estrogen deficiency is considered to be an important factor leading to cardiovascular diseases (CVDs). Indeed, the prevalence of CVDs in postmenopausal women exceeds that of premenopausal women and men of the same age. Recent research findings provide evidence that estrogen plays a pivotal role in the regulation of calcium homeostasis and therefore fine-tunes normal cardiomyocyte contraction and relaxation processes. Disruption of calcium homeostasis is closely associated with the pathological mechanism of CVDs. Thus, this paper maps out and summarizes the effects and mechanisms of estrogen on calcium handling proteins in cardiac myocytes, including L-type Ca2+ channel, the sarcoplasmic reticulum Ca2+ release channel named ryanodine receptor, sarco(endo)plasmic reticulum Ca2+-ATPase, and sodium-calcium exchanger. In so doing, we provide theoretical and experimental evidence for the successful design of estrogen-based prevention and treatment therapies for CVDs.

Abstract
The present study designed to investigate the protective effect of curcumin nanoparticles (CUR-NPs) on the cardiotoxicity induced by doxorubicin. Rats were divided into four groups; control, rats treated daily with CUR-NPs (50 mg/kg) for 14 days, rats treated with an acute dose of doxorubicin (20 mg/kg) and rats treated daily with CUR-NPs for 14 days injected with doxorubicin on the 10th day. After electrocardiogram (ECG) recording from rats at different groups, rat decapitation was carried out and the heart of each rat was excised out to measure the oxidative stress parameters; lipid peroxidation (MDA), nitric oxide (NO) and reduced glutathione (GSH) and the activities of Na,K,ATPase and acetylcholinesterase (AchE). In addition, the levels of dopamine (DA), norepinephrine (NE) and serotonin (5-HT) were determined in the cardiac tissues. Lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) activity was measured in the serum. The ECG recordings indicated that daily pretreatment with CUR- NPs has prevented the tachycardia (i.e. increase in heart rate) and ameliorated the changes in ST wave and QRS complex induced by doxorubicin. In addition, CUR-NPs prevented doxorubicin induced significant increase in MDA, NO, DA, AchE and LDH and doxorubicin induced significant decrease in GSH, NE, 5-HT and Na,K,ATPase. According to the present findings, it could be concluded that CUR-NPs have a protective effect against cardiotoxicity induced by doxorubicin. This may shed more light on the importance of CUR-NPs pretreatment before the application of doxorubicin therapy.

Abstract
The cancer burden on health and socioeconomics remains exceedingly high, with more than ten million new cases reported worldwide in 2018. The financial cost of managing cancer patients has great economic impact on both an individual and societal levels. Currently, many chemotherapeutic agents are available to treat various malignancies. One of these agents is doxorubicin, which was isolated from Streptomyces peucetius in the 1960s. Doxorubicin is frequently administered in combination with other agents as a mainstay chemotherapeutic regimen in many settings, since there is well-documented evidence that it is effective in eliminating malignant cells. Doxorubicin exerts its anti-tumor properties through DNA intercalation and topoisomerase inhibition. It also contains a quinone moiety which is susceptible to redox reactions with certain intracellular molecules, thereby leading to the production of reactive oxygen species. The oxidative stress following doxorubicin exposure is responsible for its well-documented cardiotoxicity, impairing cardiac contractility, ultimately resulting in congestive heart failure. Despite the cumulative evidence noting its adverse effects on the heart, limited information is available regarding the mechanistic association between doxorubicin and cardiac arrhythmias. There is compelling evidence to suggest that doxorubicin also causes proarrhythmic effects. Several case reports and studies in cancer patients have attributed many arrhythmic events to doxorubicin, some of which are life-threatening such as complete heart block and ventricular fibrillation. In this review, reports regarding the potential arrhythmic complications associated with doxorubicin from previous studies investigating the effects of doxorubicin on cardiac electrophysiological properties are comprehensively summarized and discussed. Consistencies and controversial findings from in vitro, in vivo, ex vivo, and clinical studies are presented and mechanistic insights regarding the effects of doxorubicin are also discussed.

Abstract
The study examined the relationships between SERCA2a expression in the myocardium and structural and functional indices in patients with atrial fibrillation. In uniform cohort of patients, this expression differed significantly but positively correlated with the size of the left atrium, end-systolic volume, and end-diastolic volume. In contrast, SERCA2a expression negatively correlated with early (peak E) and late (peak A) diastolic filling rates in left ventricle. SERCA2a expression was also associated with echocardiographic parameters reflecting structural and functional status of the heart in patients with persistent atrial fibrillation.

Abstract
Clinically, co-delivery of chemotherapeutics has been limited by poor water-solubility and severe systemic toxicity. This study was aimed at integrating the merits of combination chemotherapy and mixed micellar technology and demonstrating the anticancer potential of doxorubicin (DOX) and dihydroartemisinin (DHA) co-loaded Soluplus®-TPGS mixed micellar system. In this study, physiochemically stable multidrug loaded mixed micelles were successfully prepared, encapsulation efficiencies of DOX and DHA were as high as 90%, and the average diameter of the micelles was 64.27 nm. The cellular uptake of DOX from the mixed micelles increased by 1.3 and 1.2 times for MCF-7 and MCF-7/ADR cell lines, respectively. The micelles were more cytotoxic than free DHA-DOX. Surprisingly, the co-loaded mixed micelles exhibited higher antitumor activity, while the systemic toxicity was reduced during the treatment. Therefore, the DOX and DHA mixed micelle might be a potential, effective, and less toxic drug-delivery system for cancer therapy.

Abstract
Doxorubicin (DOX) is one of the most effective anticancer drugs to treat various forms of cancers; however, its therapeutic utility is severely limited by its associated cardiotoxicity. Despite the enormous amount of research conducted in this area, the exact molecular mechanisms underlying DOX toxic effects on the heart are still an area that warrants further investigations. In this study, we reviewed literature to gather the best-known molecular pathways related to DOX-induced cardiotoxicity (DIC). They include mechanisms dependent on mitochondrial dysfunction such as DOX influence on the mitochondrial electron transport chain, redox cycling, oxidative stress, calcium dysregulation, and apoptosis pathways. Furthermore, we discuss the existing strategies to prevent and/or alleviate DIC along with various techniques available for therapeutic drug monitoring (TDM) in cancer patients treated with DOX. Finally, we propose a stepwise flowchart for TDM of DOX and present our perspective at curtailing this deleterious side effect of DOX.
