[PMID: 38791923 PMCID: PMC11120055 DOI: 10.3390/cancers16101845] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/12/2024] [Revised: 05/02/2024] [Accepted: 05/08/2024] [Indexed: 05/26/2024] Open
Abstract
Breast cancer is amongst the most common invasive cancers in adults. There are established relationships between anti-cancer treatments for breast cancer and cardiovascular side effects. In recent years, novel anti-cancer treatments have been established, as well as the availability of multi-modal cardiac imaging and the sophistication of treatment for cardiac disease. This review provides an in-depth overview regarding the interface of breast cancer and cancer therapy-related cardiovascular toxicity. Specifically, it reviews the pathophysiology of breast cancer, the method of action in therapy-related cardiovascular toxicity from anti-cancer treatment, the use of echocardiography, cardiac CT, MRI, or nuclear medicine as diagnostics, and the current evidence-based treatments available. It is intended to be an all-encompassing review for clinicians caring for patients in this situation.

Abstract
Antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs) are an important class of cancer therapies. They are complex molecules, comprising an antibody, a cytotoxic payload, and a linker. ADCs intend to confer high specificity by targeting a unique antigen expressed predominately on the surface of the tumor cells than on the normal cells and by releasing the potent cytotoxic drug inside the tumor causing cytotoxic cell death. Despite high specificity to tumor antigens, many ADCs are associated with off-target and on-target off-tumor toxicities, often leading to safety concerns before achieving the desirable clinical efficacy. Therefore, it is crucial to improve the therapeutic index (TI) of ADCs to enable the full potential of this important therapeutic modality.The review summarizes current approaches to improve the translation of safety, pharmacokinetics, and TI of ADCs. Common safety findings of ADCs resulting from off-target and on-target toxicities and nonclinical approaches to de-risk ADC safety will be discussed; multiple approaches of using preclinical and clinical dose and exposure data to calculate TI to guide clinical dosing will be elaborated; different approaches to improve TI of ADCs, including selecting the right target, right payload-linker and patients, optimizing physicochemical properties, and using fractionation dosing, will also be discussed.

Identification of ADME genes polymorphic variants linked to trastuzumab-induced cardiotoxicity in breast cancer patients: Case series of mono-institutional experience. Biomed Pharmacother 2024; 174:116478.

Abstract
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.

AMERICAN HEART JOURNAL PLUS : CARDIOLOGY RESEARCH AND PRACTICE 2024; 40:100374.

Abstract
Novel immune and targeted therapies approved over the past 2 decades have resulted in dramatic improvements in cancer-specific outcomes for many cancer patients. However, many of these agents can induce cardiovascular toxicity in a subset of patients. The field of cardio-oncology was established based on observations that anti-neoplastic chemotherapies and mantle radiation can lead to premature cardiomyopathy in cancer survivors. While conventional chemotherapy, targeted therapy, and immune therapies can all result in cardiovascular adverse events, the mechanisms, timing, and incidence of these events are inherently different. Many of these effects converge upon the coronary microvasculature to involve, through endocardial endothelial cells, a more direct effect through close proximity to cardiomyocyte with cellular communication and signaling pathways. In this review, we will provide an overview of emerging paradigms in the field of Cardio-Oncology, particularly the role of the coronary microvasculature in mediating cardiovascular toxicity of important cancer targeted and immune therapies. As the number of cancer patients treated with novel immune and targeted therapies grows exponentially and subsequently the number of long-term cancer survivors dramatically increases, it is critical that cardiologists and cardiology researchers recognize the unique potential cardiovascular toxicities of these agents.

Abstract
An antibody-drug conjugate (ADC) of human epidermal growth factor receptor-2 (HER2) provides effective treatment for patients with HER2-positive non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Exon 20 insertion mutations are the most common among HER2 mutations. This mutant subtype is highly drug-resistant, and patients receiving conventional treatment often have a poor prognosis. Trastuzumab deruxtecan (T-DXd), a novel anti-HER2 ADC, has emerged as a novel treatment option for HER2-positive (mutated, expressed, amplified, alternated) NSCLC, based on several studies and reported results. Herein, we report a case of stage IV NSCLC with HER2 exon 20 mutation in a 52-year-old male patient whose tumor recurred after radical resection of pulmonary carcinoma, who could not tolerate chemotherapy, and presented with bone metastasis. After treatment with T-DXd, the tumor significantly regressed and bone metastasis improved, maintaining a state of no progression for 21 months. This case report evidences the use of T-DXd in the treatment of NSCLC with HER2 exon 20 insertion mutation.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Despite major advances in pharmacological treatment for patients with heart failure, residual mortality remains high. This suggests that important pathways are not yet targeted by current heart failure therapies. OBJECTIVES We sought integration of genetic, transcriptomic, and proteomic data in a large cohort of patients with heart failure to detect major pathways related to progression of heart failure leading to death. METHODS We used machine learning methodology based on stacked generalization framework and gradient boosting algorithms, using 54 clinical phenotypes, 403 circulating plasma proteins, 36,046 transcript expression levels in whole blood, and 6 million genomic markers to model all-cause mortality in 2,516 patients with heart failure from the BIOSTAT-CHF (Systems BIOlogy Study to TAilored Treatment in Chronic Heart Failure) study. Results were validated in an independent cohort of 1,738 patients. RESULTS The mean age of the patients was 70 years (Q1-Q3: 61-78 years), 27% were female, median N-terminal pro-B-type natriuretic peptide was 4,275 ng/L (Q1-Q3: 2,360-8,486 ng/L), and 7% had heart failure with preserved ejection fraction. During a median follow-up of 21 months, 657 (26%) of patients died. The 4 major pathways with a significant association to all-cause mortality were: 1) the PI3K/Akt pathway; 2) the MAPK pathway; 3) the Ras signaling pathway; and 4) epidermal growth factor receptor tyrosine kinase inhibitor resistance. Results were validated in an independent cohort of 1,738 patients. CONCLUSIONS A systems biology approach integrating genomic, transcriptomic, and proteomic data identified 4 major pathways related to mortality. These pathways are related to decreased activation of the cardioprotective ERBB2 receptor, which can be modified by neuregulin.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs) have complex molecular structures and have been tested in numerous clinical trials. Therefore, understanding the mechanisms of their toxicity when applied in medical practice is of high importance. METHODS In a systematic review and meta-analysis of data gathered from different scientific databases (PubMed, Embase, Cochrane, and Web of Science) between January 1, 2000, and June 7, 2022, the authors applied a random-effects model with logit transformation and evaluated the heterogeneity between studies using I2 statistics. The primary outcome was the incidence and 95% confidence interval (CI) for all-grade and grade ≥3 treatment-related adverse events and differences between different drugs, molecular structures, and cancer types. RESULTS In total, 2511 records were identified that included 169 clinical trials involving 22,492 patients. The overall incidence of treatment-related adverse events was 91.2% (95% CI, 90.7%-91.7%; I2 = 95.9%) for all-grade adverse events and 46.1% (95% CI, 45.2%-47.0%; I2 = 96.3%) for grade ≥3 adverse events. The most common all-grade adverse events were lymphopenia (53.0%; 95% CI, 48.7%-57.3%), nausea (44.1%; 95% CI, 43.2%-44.9%), neutropenia (43.7%; 95% CI, 42.6%-44.9%), blurred vision (40.5%; 95% CI, 37.4%-43.6%), and peripheral neuropathy (39.6%; 95% CI, 38.2%-41.1%); and the most common grade ≥3 adverse events were neutropenia (31.2%; 95% CI, 30.2%-32.3%), hypoesthesia (23.3%; 95% CI, 10.6%-35.9%), thrombocytopenia (22.6%; 95% CI, 21.3%-23.9%), febrile neutropenia (21.2%; 95% CI, 19.3%-23.1%), and lymphopenia (21.0%; 95% CI, 18.2%-23.7%). CONCLUSIONS Different ADCs appear to affect various treatment-related adverse events and provide comprehensive data on treatment-related adverse events for ADCs. The current results provide an important reference for clinicians and patients on how to care for toxicities from ADCs in clinical practice. LAY SUMMARY Unique anticancer drugs called antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs) have made significant progress in oncology in recent years because of their great success, and they are rapidly being used in the clinic as well as in hundreds of ongoing trials exploring their further use. The occurrence of serious side effects (adverse events) related to the receipt of ADCs was studied using data from 169 clinical trials involving 22,492 patients to determine the treatment-related causes of higher toxicity and adverse events in patients who receive ADCs, because these data are crucial for informing physicians how to safely treat patients using ADCs. The results indicate that different ADCs appear to affect various adverse events related to their use, providing comprehensive data on these ADCs that provide an important reference for clinicians and patients on how to care for toxicities from ADCs in clinical practice.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION/BACKGROUND This study aims to establish an integrated model for predicting trastuzumab-associated decline of Left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) during drug administration. METHODS A retrospective study of 212 women who diagnosed with HER2-positive breast cancer and treated with chemotherapy and trastuzumab was conducted. Medical records were collected from 6 months before staring trastuzumab to 3 years afterwards. The least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO) regression analysis was used to select variables, time-dependent receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve and calibration plots were used to evaluate the model. The adjusted C-index and Brier scores were calculated using a bootstrap internal validation procedure. RESULTS The median age of participants is 53.2 years old. The median length of follow-up was 336 days. There were 72 patients (33.96%) whose LVEF declined ≥ 10% (10 absolute percent points). Seven factors, namely age, body mass index (BMI), systolic blood pressure (SBP), diastolic blood pressure (DBP), mitral peak E-wave velocity (E-wave), left ventricular end-systolic diameter (LVESD) and LVEF, were selected. The name of the ABSDELL model was formed by the initials of each predictor. The area under the curve (AUC) of the model was 0.802 in 1 year and 0.881 in 3 years. Calibration plots indicate the predicted and actual probabilities were highly consistent. In the internal validation, 1-year and 3-year adjusted C-index was 0.801 and 0.881, and adjusted Brier score was 0.118 and 0.091, separately. CONCLUSION The ABSDELL model can effectively predicts the probability of LVEF decline in breast cancer patients treated with trastuzumab.

Abstract
Background Cancer therapy-related cardiac dysfunction (CTRCD) is defined as a decrease in the left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) of >10% to a value below the lower limit of normal or relative reduction in global longitudinal strain (GLS) >15% from baseline after cancer treatment. However, the possibility of the development of isolated diastolic dysfunction has never been considered in the clinical presentation of CTRCD. Case summary An 81-year-old woman was admitted to our institution presenting with prominent bilateral leg oedema, orthopnoea, and 8 kg of weight gain after administration of the anti-human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER-2) antibody, trastuzumab, for HER-2-positive breast cancer. Transthoracic echocardiography showed a preserved LVEF of 62% without a significant reduction in GLS compared with results obtained before anti-HER-2 targeted therapy. Doppler echocardiography distinctly revealed a newly developed significant left ventricular diastolic dysfunction with evidence of elevated filling pressure. After successful achievement of volume reduction, the patient underwent cardiac catheter examination, revealing an elevated pulmonary artery wedge pressure of 18 mmHg. Subsequently, trastuzumab was discontinued and the patient was treated with diuretics, arteriodilators, and venodilators, until the signs and symptoms of heart failure completely disappeared. Discussion In the management of CTRCD, including pretreatment screening, cardiotoxicity monitoring, follow-up after anti-cancer agents, and evaluation of the effectiveness of the therapy, too much emphasis has been paid exclusively to the development of systolic dysfunction; however, perspectives for diastolic dysfunction may be needed. A comprehensive multidisciplinary team approach composed of breast surgeons, oncologists, onco-cardiologists, and echocardiography specialists is required.

Abstract
Antibody-drug conjugates targeting receptor tyrosine-protein kinase erbB-2 (ERBB2, HER2) have emerged as promising targeted options for HER2-mutant NSCLC. Among antibody-drug conjugates targeting HER2, trastuzumab deruxtecan was found to have the most impressive efficacy and is a potential new standard of care. Drug-related interstitial lung disease remains a serious unpredictable identified risk for patients treated with trastuzumab deruxtecan, requiring careful monitoring and multidisciplinary management. We report the first two cases of drug-related cardiotoxicity with acute myocarditis that developed after the first trastuzumab deruxtecan cycle. Routine cardiovascular risk screening is advisable, with close collaboration between cardiology specialists and oncologists.

Abstract
BACKGROUND It remains unclear whether the current arbitrary screening recommendations of trastuzumab-related cardiotoxicity provides an adequate balance between preventing heart damage and curtailing a curative treatment.
AIM To determine the incidence rate and consequences of trastuzumab-induced cardiotoxicity as adjuvant treatment in a real-world scenario.
METHODS We present a retrospective analysis of cardiac function measured by echocardiogram at baseline and every 3 mo during trastuzumab treatment. Cardiotoxicity was defined as a drop in left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) ≥ 10% from baseline and/or any drop < 50%.
RESULTS Between January 2011 and December 2014, 407 patients were selected. Most (93.6%) were treated with an anthracycline followed by a taxane-based regimen and trastuzumab for 12 mo. Forty patients (9.8%) had cardiotoxicity. None of them were symptomatic, and 28 (72.5%) completely recovered LVEF. Cardiotoxicity happened early as shown by LVEF measured on echocardiogram 2 to 4 as compared to 5 to 7 (odds ratio = 2.47, 95% confidence interval: 1.09, 5.63, P = 0.024). There were 54 deaths (13.3%) during the 70-mo follow-up period; 1 (0.2%) was attributed to late cardiotoxicity (4 years after treatment). The absence of symptomatic cardiotoxicity during trastuzumab treatment and moreover the early occurrence on the treatment period may translate into a strategy to evaluate less frequently.
CONCLUSION We observed a 10% rate of asymptomatic cardiotoxicity, which mirrors the results from the large adjuvant trials. Despite being transient, an LVEF drop led to frequent treatment delays and interruptions. It remains unclear whether LVEF decline is predictive of late cardiotoxicity, and treatment efficacy is compromised.

Cardio-oncology in Austria: cardiotoxicity and surveillance of anti-cancer therapies : Position paper of the Heart Failure Working Group of the Austrian Society of Cardiology.

Abstract
Survival in cancer is continuously improving due to evolving oncological treatment. Therefore, cardiovascular short-term and long-term side effects gain crucial importance for overall outcome. Cardiotoxicity not only presents as heart failure, but also as treatment-resistant hypertension, acute coronary ischemia with plaque rupture or vasospasm, thromboembolism, arrhythmia, pulmonary hypertension, diastolic dysfunction, acute myocarditis and others. Recent recommendations have proposed baseline cardiac risk assessment and surveillance strategies. Major challenges are the availability of monitoring and imaging resources, including echocardiography with speckle tracking longitudinal strain (GLS), serum biomarkers such as natriuretic peptides (NT-proBNP) and highly sensitive cardiac troponins. This Austrian consensus encompasses cardiotoxicity occurrence in frequent antiproliferative cancer drugs, radiotherapy, immune checkpoint inhibitors and cardiac follow-up considerations in cancer survivors in the context of the Austrian healthcare setting. It is important to optimize cardiovascular risk factors and pre-existing cardiac diseases without delaying oncological treatment. If left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) deteriorates during cancer treatment (from >10% to <50%), or myocardial strain decreases (>15% change in GLS), early initiation of cardioprotective therapies (angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors, angiotensin or beta receptor blockers) is recommended, and LVEF should be reassessed before discontinuation. Lower LVEF cut-offs were recently shown to be feasible in breast cancer patients to enable optimal anticancer treatment. Interdisciplinary cardio-oncology cooperation is pivotal for optimal management of cancer patients.

Abstract
Neoadjuvant systemic therapy has now become the standard in early breast cancer management. Chemotherapy in combination with trastuzumab +/− pertuzumab targeted therapy can improve the rates of pathologic complete response (pCR) in patients with HER2-positive breast cancer. Achieving a pCR is considered a good prognostic factor, in particular, in patients with more aggressive breast cancer subtypes such as TNBC or HER2-positive cancers. Furthermore, most studies demonstrate that chemotherapy in combination with trastuzumab and pertuzumab is well tolerated. The retrospective analysis presented here concentrates on neoadjuvant therapy with the TCbH-P regimen, with a particular emphasis on patients over 60 years of age. We analysed the factors affecting the achievement of pCR and present the adverse effects of the applied therapies, opening discussion about optimizing the therapy of older patients with HER-2 positive breast cancer.

Abstract
Anti-HER2 therapy has greatly improved the long-term prognosis of patients with HER2-positive breast cancer. Meanwhile, by interfering with the protective effects of neuregulin-1/HER2 signaling on stressed cardiomyocytes, anti-HER2 therapy occasionally induces reversible cancer therapeutics-related cardiac dysfunction (CTRCD). Cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) parametric mapping or myocardial feature-tracking, in combination with late gadolinium enhancement (LGE) imaging, has the potential to detect changes in the myocardium in anti-HER2 therapy-related cardiac dysfunction. Here we report a breast cancer patient who experienced life-threatening CTRCD after treatment with trastuzumab plus pertuzumab. This case showed multiple transmural LGE-positive myocardial lesions in CMR imaging and high native T1 and T2 values in CMR parametric mapping, which was apparently more extensive than those observed in most patients with anti-HER2 therapy-related cardiac dysfunction. Consistent with profound myocardial damage indicated by CMR, her cardiac function was not fully restored despite intensive care and cardioprotective drug therapy. These findings suggest the potential usefulness of LGE imaging and parametric mapping by CMR for the assessment of myocardial injury to determine the clinical severity of anti-HER2 therapy-related cardiac dysfunction.

Abstract
Rhabdomyosarcomas (RMS) are tumors of the skeletal muscle lineage. Two main features allow for distinction between subtypes: morphology and presence/absence of a translocation between the PAX3 (or PAX7) and FOXO1 genes. The two main subtypes are fusion-positive alveolar RMS (ARMS) and fusion-negative embryonal RMS (ERMS). This review will focus on the role of receptor tyrosine kinases of the human epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) family that is comprised EGFR itself, HER2, HER3 and HER4 in RMS onset and the potential therapeutic targeting of receptor tyrosine kinases. EGFR is highly expressed by ERMS tumors and cell lines, in some cases contributing to tumor growth. If not mutated, HER2 is not directly involved in control of RMS cell growth but can be expressed at significant levels. A minority of ERMS carries a HER2 mutation with driving activity on tumor growth. HER3 is frequently overexpressed by RMS and can play a role in the residual myogenic differentiation ability and in resistance to signaling-directed therapy. HER family members could be exploited for therapeutic approaches in two ways: blocking the HER member (playing a driving role for tumor growth with antibodies or inhibitors) and targeting expressed HER members to vehiculate toxins or immune effectors.

Abstract
PURPOSE Despite great success as a targeted breast cancer therapy, trastuzumab use may be complicated by heart failure and loss of left ventricular contractile function. This review summarizes the risk factors, imaging, and prevention of cardiotoxicity associated with trastuzumab and other HER2-targeted therapies. FINDINGS Cardiovascular disease risk factors, advanced age, and previous anthracycline treatment predispose to trastuzumab-induced cardiotoxicity (TIC), with anthracycline exposure being the most significant risk factor. Cardiac biomarkers such as troponins and pro-BNP and imaging assessments such as echocardiogram before and during trastuzumab therapy may help in early identification of TIC. Initiation of beta-adrenergic antagonists and angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitors may prevent TIC. Cardiotoxicity rates of other HER2-targeted treatments, such as pertuzumab, T-DM1, lapatinib, neratinib, tucatinib, trastuzumab deruxtecan, and margetuximab, appear to be significantly lower as reported in the pivotal trials which led to their approval. CONCLUSIONS Risk assessment for TIC should include cardiac imaging assessment and should incorporate prior anthracycline use, the strongest risk factor for TIC. Screening and prediction of cardiotoxicity, referral to a cardio-oncology specialist, and initiation of effective prophylactic therapy may all improve prognosis in patients receiving HER2-directed therapy. Beta blockers and ACE inhibitors appear to mitigate risk of TIC. Anthracycline-free regimens have been proven to be efficacious in early HER2-positive breast cancer and should now be considered the standard of care for early HER2-positive breast cancer. Newer HER2-directed therapies appear to have significantly lower cardiotoxicity compared to trastuzumab, but trials are needed in patients who have experienced TIC and patients with pre-existing cardiac dysfunction.

Abstract
Nine different antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs) are currently approved as cancer treatments, with dozens more in preclinical and clinical development. The primary goal of ADCs is to improve the therapeutic index of antineoplastic agents by restricting their systemic delivery to cells that express the target antigen of interest. Advances in synthetic biochemistry have ushered in a new generation of ADCs, which promise to improve upon the tissue specificity and cytotoxicity of their predecessors. Many of these drugs have impressive activity against treatment-refractory cancers, although hurdles impeding their broader use remain, including systemic toxicity, inadequate biomarkers for patient selection, acquired resistance and unknown benefit in combination with other cancer therapies. Emerging evidence indicates that the efficacy of a given ADC depends on the intricacies of how the antibody, linker and payload components interact with the tumour and its microenvironment, all of which have important clinical implications. In this Review, we discuss the current state of knowledge regarding the design, mechanism of action and clinical efficacy of ADCs as well as the apparent limitations of this treatment class. We then propose a path forward by highlighting several hypotheses and novel strategies to maximize the potential benefit that ADCs can provide to patients with cancer.

Abstract
Aims Our objectives were to validate a murine model of chronic cardiotoxicity induced by Doxorubicin (Dox) and Trastuzumab (Trast) and to test the potential cardio‐protective effect of metoprolol. Methods and results Male C57Bl6 mice were intraperitoneally injected during 2 weeks with Dox (24 mg/kg) or saline, and then with Trast (10 mg/kg) or saline for two more weeks. Half of the mice received metoprolol (100 mg/kg). Cardiotoxicity was defined by a decline in left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) ≥ 10 points. At Day 42, Dox + Trast‐treated mice exhibited a 13‐points decline in LVEF (74 ± 2.6% vs. 87 ± 0.8% for control mice, P < 0.001) and a severe cardiac atrophy (heart weight: 105 ± 2.7 mg vs. 119 ± 3.9 mg for control mice, P < 0.01). This cardiac atrophy resulted from an excess of cardiac necrosis (assessed by plasma cardiac troponin I level: 3.2 ± 0.4 ng/L vs. 1.3 ± 0.06 ng/L for control mice, P < 0.01), an increase in apoptosis (caspase 3 activity showing a six‐fold increase for Dox + Trast‐treated mice vs. controls, P < 0.001), and cardiomyocyte atrophy (myocyte size: 0.67 ± 0.08 μm2 vs. 1.36 ± 0.10 μm2 for control mice, P < 0.001). In addition, Dox + Trast‐treated mice were shown to have an increased cardiac oxidative stress (164 ± 14 dihydroethidine‐marked nuclei per area vs. 56 ± 9.5 for control mice, P < 0.01) and increased cardiac fibrosis (the semi‐quantitative fibrosis score was three‐fold higher for Dox + Trast‐treated mice as compared with controls, P < 0.01). Metoprolol was not able to prevent either the decrease in LVEF or the severe cardiac atrophy, the cardiac necrosis, and the cardiac remodelling induced by chemotherapies. Conclusion A murine model of chronic cardiotoxicity induced by Dox and Trast was characterized by a decrease in cardiac function, a cardiac apoptosis and necrosis leading to cardiomyocyte atrophy. Metoprolol did not prevent this cardiotoxicity.

Abstract
Cancer therapies have significantly improved cancer survival; however, these therapies can often result in undesired side effects to off target organs. Cardiac disease ranging from mild hypertension to heart failure can occur as a result of cancer therapies. This can warrant the discontinuation of cancer treatment in patients which can be detrimental, especially when the treatment is effective. There is an urgent need to mitigate cardiac disease that occurs as a result of cancer therapy. Delivery strategies such as the use of nanoparticles, hydrogels, and medical devices can be used to localise the treatment to the tumour and prevent off target side effects. This review summarises the advancements in localised delivery of anti-cancer therapies to tumours. It also examines the localised delivery of cardioprotectants to the heart for patients with systemic disease such as leukaemia where localised tumour delivery might not be an option.

Cardiotoxic mechanisms of cancer immunotherapy - A systematic review. Int J Cardiol 2020; 323:179-187. [PMID: 32800915 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijcard.2020.08.033] [Citation(s) in RCA: 19] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/17/2020] [Revised: 07/26/2020] [Accepted: 08/07/2020] [Indexed: 02/08/2023]
Abstract
Cancer immunotherapy is a success story of translational medicine that has led to improved survival in patients with different difficult-to-treat types of cancer, such as metastasized melanoma, non-small cell lung cancer or renal cell carcinoma. These novel therapeutic agents exert their antitumor effects by activating the patients' immune system against cancer cells. Immunotherapy can be divided into active agents, such as anti-tumour vaccines or adoptive T-cell transfer, and passive immunotherapies like monoclonal antibodies, checkpoint inhibitors, cytokine therapy, bispecific T-cell engagers. After initial experimental use, broad clinical application revealed a number of important cardiovascular side effects of immunotherapeutics, which limit treatment options and decrease patients' prognosis and quality of life. With the rising rate of new immunotherapeutics at a hand, the number of patients receiving cancer immunotherapy will constantly increase, resulting in improved long-term survival rates. This review aims to summarize available cancer immunotherapies, their mechanism of action, currently known cardiovascular toxicities and their treatment. Further optimization of patient care will depend on the combined efforts by oncologists, cardiologists and cardiac surgeons to identify patients at risk and the implementation of interdisciplinary screening and treatment strategies. It is therefore crucial to familiarize heart specialists with novel cancer therapeutics and their potential adverse effects.

Abstract
Improvements in the long-term survival of cancer patients have led to growing awareness of the clinical importance of cancer therapeutics-related cardiac dysfunction (CTRCD), which can have a considerable effect on the prognosis and quality of life of cancer patients and survivors. Under such circumstances, onco-cardiology/cardio-oncology has emerged as a new discipline, with the aim of best managing cardiovascular complications, including CTRCD. Despite the recent accumulation of epidemiological and clinical information regarding CTRCD, the molecular mechanisms underlying the pathogenesis of CTRCD by individual drugs remain to be determined. To achieve the goal of preventing cardiovascular complications in cancer patients and survivors, it is important to elucidate the pathogenic mechanisms and to establish diagnostic strategies with risk prediction and mechanism- and evidence-based therapies against CTRCD.

Abstract
Cancer therapy-induced cardiomyopathy (CCM) manifests as left ventricular (LV) dysfunction and heart failure (HF). It is associated withparticular pharmacological agents and it is typically dose dependent, but significant individual variability has been observed. History of prior cardiac disease, abuse of toxics, cardiac overload conditions, age, and genetic predisposing factors modulate the degree of the cardiac reserve and the response to the injury. Genetic/familial cardiomyopathies (CMY) are increasingly recognized in general populations with an estimated prevalence of 1:250. Association between cardiac and oncologic diseases regarding genetics involves not only the toxicity process, but pathogenicity. Genetic variants in germinal cells that cause CMY (LMNA, RAS/MAPK) can increase susceptibility for certain types of cancer. The study of mutations found in cancer cells (somatic) has revealed the implication of genes commonly associated with the development of CMY. In particular, desmosomal mutations have been related to increased undifferentiation and invasiveness of cancer. In this article, the authors review the knowledge on the relevance of environmental and genetic background in CCM and give insights into the shared genetic role in the pathogenicity of the cancer process and development of CMY.

Abstract
Breast cancer is the most frequently occurring cancer among women worldwide. Human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2 or ErbB2) is overexpressed in between 20 and 25% of invasive breast cancers and is associated with poor prognosis. Trastuzumab, an anti-ErbB2 monoclonal antibody, reduces cancer recurrence and mortality in HER2-positive breast cancer patients, but unexpectedly induces cardiac dysfunction, especially when used in combination with anthracycline-based chemotherapy. Novel approved ErbB2-targeting drugs, including lapatinib, pertuzumab, and trastuzumab-emtansine, also potentially cause cardiotoxicity, although early clinical studies demonstrate their cardiac safety profile. Unfortunately, the mechanism involved in causing the cardiotoxicity is still not completely understood. In addition, the use of preventive interventions against trastuzumab-induced cardiac dysfunction, including angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors and beta-blockers, remain controversial. Thus, this review aims to summarize and discuss the evidence currently available from in vitro, in vivo, and clinical studies regarding the mechanism and potential interventions associated with the cardiotoxicity of ErbB2-targeted drugs.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Molecular targeted chemotherapies have been shown to significantly improve the outcomes of patients who have cancer, but they often cause cardiovascular side effects that limit their use and impair patients' quality of life. Cardiac dysfunction induced by these therapies, especially trastuzumab, shows a distinct cardiotoxic clinical phenotype in comparison to the cardiotoxicity induced by conventional chemotherapies. METHODS We used the human induced pluripotent stem cell-derived cardiomyocyte (iPSC-CM) platform to determine the underlying cellular mechanisms in trastuzumab-induced cardiac dysfunction. We assessed the effects of trastuzumab on structural and functional properties in iPSC-CMs from healthy individuals and performed RNA-sequencing to further examine the effect of trastuzumab on iPSC-CMs. We also generated human induced pluripotent stem cells from patients receiving trastuzumab and examined whether patients' phenotype could be recapitulated in vitro by using patient-specific iPSC-CMs. RESULTS We found that clinically relevant doses of trastuzumab significantly impaired the contractile and calcium-handling properties of iPSC-CMs without inducing cardiomyocyte death or sarcomeric disorganization. RNA-sequencing and subsequent functional analysis revealed mitochondrial dysfunction and altered the cardiac energy metabolism pathway as primary causes of trastuzumab-induced cardiotoxic phenotype. Human iPSC-CMs generated from patients who received trastuzumab and experienced severe cardiac dysfunction were more vulnerable to trastuzumab treatment than iPSC-CMs generated from patients who did not experience cardiac dysfunction following trastuzumab therapy. It is important to note that metabolic modulation with AMP-activated protein kinase activators could avert the adverse effects induced by trastuzumab. CONCLUSIONS Our results indicate that alterations in cellular metabolic pathways in cardiomyocytes could be a key mechanism underlying the development of cardiac dysfunction following trastuzumab therapy; therefore, targeting the altered metabolism may be a promising therapeutic approach for trastuzumab-induced cardiac dysfunction.

Abstract
Tumor-targeted therapies such as trastuzumab have led to significant improvements in survival of human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2)-positive breast cancer. However, these therapies have also been associated with significant left ventricular dysfunction. The incidence of trastuzumab-induced heart failure has decreased significantly since the initial reports, in large part due to improved screening, closer monitoring for early changes in left ventricular function, and a significant decrease in the concurrent administration of anthracyclines. The mechanism of trastuzumab cardiotoxicity is still not well understood, but current knowledge suggests that ErbB2 inhibition in cardiac myocytes plays a key role. In addition to trastuzumab and other HER2-targeted agents, vascular endothelial growth factor inhibitors, proteasome inhibitors, and immune checkpoint inhibitors are all additional classes of drugs used with great success in the treatment of solid tumors and hematologic malignancies. Yet these, too, have been associated with cardiac toxicity that ranges from a mild asymptomatic decrease in ejection fraction to fulminant myocarditis. In this review, we summarize the cardiotoxic effects of tumor-targeted and immunotherapies with a focus on HER2 antagonists.

Abstract
Stem cell research for treating or curing ischemic heart disease has, till date, culminated in three basic approaches: the use of induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC) technology; reprogramming cardiac fibroblasts; and cardiovascular progenitor cell regeneration. As each approach has been shown to have its advantages and disadvantages, exploiting the advantages while minimizing the disadvantages has been a challenge. Using human germline pluripotent stem cells (hgPSCs) along with a modified version of a relatively novel cell-expansion culture methodology to induce quick, indefinite expansion of normally slow growing hgPSCs, it was possible to emphasize the advantages of all three approaches. We consistently found that unipotent germline stem cells, when removed from their niche and cultured in the correct medium, expressed endogenously, pluripotency genes, which induced them to become hgPSCs. These cells are then capable of producing cell types from all three germ layers. Upon differentiation into cardiac lineages, our data consistently showed that they not only expressed cardiac genes, but also expressed cardiac-promoting paracrine factors. Taking these data a step further, we found that hgPSC-derived cardiac cells could integrate into cardiac tissue in vivo. Note, while the work presented here was based on testes-derived hgPSCs, data from other laboratories have shown that ovaries contain very similar types of stem cells that can give rise to hgPSCs. As a result, hgPSCs should be considered a viable option for eventual use in patients, male or female, with ischemic heart disease

Abstract
Aim To evaluate the safety issues and adverse effects of using TCHP regimen (docetaxel, carboplatin, trastuzumab, and pertuzumab) versus TCP regimen (docetaxel, carboplatin, and trastuzumab) in older postmenopausal women with nonmetastatic HER2-positive breast cancer. HER2 overexpressed in 20–25% of breast cancer signals an aggressive form of breast cancer and is treated with trastuzumab and pertuzumab. Methods The patient record database was accessed to identify all postmenopausal women in the Punjab Care hospital who were above 65 years old, with stages 1–3 HER2-positive breast cancer and treated with neoadjuvant TCHP and neoadjuvant TCP from 2013 till 2016. Results In TCH-P group and TCH group, mild fatigue (34% versus 36%) and diarrhea (48% versus 49%) were most common toxicities. Fever in TCH-P group and TCH group (12% versus 13%) was common. Anorexia affected 21% and 16% of patients receiving TCH and TCHP regimen, respectively. Febrile neutropenia was higher in TCH-P group 13% (3/23) versus 4.5% (1/22) in TCH group. Also 27.2% (6/22) of TCH-P group was hospitalized for treatment related toxicities versus 21.7% (5/23) of TCH group. Conclusion Comparing neoadjuvant TCP and neoadjuvant TCH-P showed TCH-P regimen had an acceptable toxicity profile. Severe cardiac dysfunction was not observed. Using TCH-P regimen can be considered as relatively safe therapeutic option for elderly postmenopausal women with nonmetastatic HER2-positive breast cancer.

Pharmacodynamic modeling of cardiac biomarkers in breast cancer patients treated with anthracycline and trastuzumab regimens. J Pharmacokinet Pharmacodyn 2018; 45:431-442.

Abstract
Trastuzumab is associated with cardiotoxicity, manifesting as a decrease of the left-ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF). Administration of anthracyclines prior to trastuzumab increases risk of cardiotoxicity. High-sensitive troponin T and N-terminal-pro-brain natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) are molecular markers that may allow earlier detection of drug-induced cardiotoxicity. In this analysis we aimed to quantify the kinetics and exposure–response relationships of LVEF, troponin T and NT-proBNP measurements, in patients receiving anthracycline and trastuzumab. Repeated measurements of LVEF, troponin T and NT-proBNP and dosing records of anthracyclines and trastuzumab were available from a previously published clinical trial. This trial included 206 evaluable patients with early breast cancer. Exposure to anthracycline and trastuzumab was simulated based on available dosing records and by using a kinetic-pharmacodynamic (K-PD) and a fixed pharmacokinetic (PK) model from literature, respectively. The change from baseline troponin T was described with a direct effect model, affected by simulated anthracycline concentrations, representing myocyte damage. The relationship between trastuzumab and LVEF was described by an indirect effect compartment model. The EC50 for LVEF decline was significantly affected by the maximum troponin T concentration after anthracycline treatment, explaining 15.1% of inter-individual variability. In this cohort, NT-proBNP changes could not be demonstrated to be related to anthracycline or trastuzumab treatment. Pharmacodynamic models for troponin T and LVEF were successfully developed, identifying maximum troponin T concentration after anthracycline treatment as a significant determinant for trastuzumab-induced LVEF decline. These models can help identify patients at risk of drug-induced cardiotoxicity and optimize cardiac monitoring strategies.

Cardiac Safety of Dual Anti-HER2 Therapy in the Neoadjuvant Setting for Treatment of HER2-Positive Breast Cancer. Oncologist 2017; 22:642-647.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Trastuzumab and pertuzumab are approved for the neoadjuvant treatment of human epidermal growth receptor 2 (HER2)-positive breast cancer, but cardiac safety data is limited. We report the cardiac safety of dose-dense doxorubicin and cyclophosphamide (AC) followed by paclitaxel, trastuzumab, and pertuzumab (THP) in the neoadjuvant setting followed by adjuvant trastuzumab-based therapy. METHODS Fifty-seven patients treated with neoadjuvant dose-dense AC-THP followed by adjuvant trastuzumab-based therapy between September 1, 2013, and March 1, 2015, were identified. The primary outcome was cardiac event rate, defined by heart failure (New York Heart Association [NYHA] class III/IV) or cardiac death. Patients underwent left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) monitoring at baseline, after AC, and serially during 1 year of anti-HER2 therapy. RESULTS The median age was 46 years (range 26-68). Two (3.5%) patients developed NYHA class III/IV heart failure 5 and 9 months after initiation of trastuzumab-based therapy, leading to permanent discontinuation of anti-HER2 treatment. Seven (12.3%) patients developed a significant LVEF decline (without NYHA class III/IV symptoms). The median LVEF was 65% (range 55%-75%) at baseline and 64% (range 53%-72%) after AC, and decreased to 60% (range 35%-70%), 60% (range 23%-73%), 61% (range 25%-73%), and 58% (range 28%-66%) after 3, 6, 9, and 12 months (± 6 weeks) of trastuzumab-based therapy. CONCLUSION The incidence of NYHA class III/IV heart failure after neoadjuvant AC-THP (followed by adjuvant trastuzumab-based therapy) is comparable to rates reported in trials of sequential doxorubicin and trastuzumab. Our findings do not suggest an increased risk of cardiotoxicity from trastuzumab plus pertuzumab following a doxorubicin-based regimen. IMPLICATIONS FOR PRACTICE Dual anti-human epidermal growth receptor 2 (HER2) therapy with trastuzumab and pertuzumab combined with standard chemotherapy has received accelerated approval for the neoadjuvant treatment of stage II-III HER2-positive breast cancer. Cardiac safety data for trastuzumab and pertuzumab in this setting are limited to clinical trials that utilized epirubicin-based chemotherapy. Formalized investigations into the cardiac safety of trastuzumab and pertuzumab with doxorubicin- (rather than epirubicin) based regimens are important because these regimens are widely used for the adjuvant and neoadjuvant treatment of breast cancer. The known role of HER2 signaling in the physiological adaptive responses of the heart provides further rationale for study on the potential cardiotoxicity of dual anti-HER2 blockade. Findings from this retrospective study provide favorable preliminary data on the cardiac safety of trastuzumab and pertuzumab in combination with a regimen of neoadjuvant doxorubicin and cyclophosphamide followed by paclitaxel, one of the preferred breast cancer treatment regimens, according to the National Comprehensive Cancer Network.

Abstract
Although the epidermal growth factor receptor has established roles in skin carcinogenesis, inflammation, and wound healing, the functions of the structurally related receptor ERBB2 in this tissue remain poorly explored. To assess the functions of ERBB2 in skin homeostasis, tumorigenesis, and wound healing, we employed keratin 5-directed, cre recombinase-mediated targeting of Erbb2 alleles in mice. Erbb2del mice, lacking ERBB2 specifically in keratinocytes, showed no noticeable spontaneous skin abnormalities. During early wound healing, the thickness and the number and proliferation rate of keratinocytes in the wound epithelium of Erbb2del mice were significantly reduced. Compared with control littermates, Erbb2del mice remained free of papillomas for a longer time and had significantly reduced tumor burden after application of the 7,12-dimethylbenz[a]anthracene/12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol-13-acetate multistage chemical carcinogenesis protocol. Furthermore, tumor cell proliferation was substantially reduced in Erbb2del mice, and loss of ERBB2 also decreased keratinocyte proliferation after 12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol-13-acetate application. Thus, ERBB2 is dispensable for the development and homeostasis of the epidermis and its appendages. However, reflecting its pro-proliferative role, ERBB2 is required for the normal healing of skin wounds and for the progression of tumors during skin chemical carcinogenesis in mice. Thus, ERBB2 may be a promising target for inhibiting human nonmelanoma skin cancer progression.

Abstract
A first-in-human, phase 1, double blind, placebo-controlled, single ascending dose study examined the safety, tolerability, and exploratory efficacy of intravenous infusion of a recombinant growth factor, cimaglermin alfa, in patients with heart failure and left ventricular systolic dysfunction (LVSD). In these patients on optimal guideline-directed medical therapy, cimaglermin treatment was generally tolerated except for transient nausea and headache and a dose-limiting toxicity was noted at the highest planned dose. There was a dose-dependent improvement in left ventricular ejection fraction lasting 90 days following infusion. Thus, cimaglermin is a potential therapy to enhance cardiac function in LVSD and warrants further investigation.

Abstract
Heart attack is a global health problem that leads to significant morbidity, mortality, and health care burden. Adult human hearts have very limited regenerative capability after injury. However, evolutionarily primitive species generally have higher regenerative capacity than mammals. The extracellular matrix (ECM) may contribute to this difference. Mammalian cardiac ECM may not be optimally inductive for cardiac regeneration because of the fibrotic, instead of regenerative, responses in injured adult mammalian hearts. Given the high regenerative capacity of adult zebrafish hearts, we hypothesize that decellularized zebrafish cardiac ECM (zECM) made from normal or healing hearts can induce mammalian heart regeneration. Using zebrafish and mice as representative species of lower vertebrates and mammals, we show that a single administration of zECM, particularly the healing variety, enables cardiac functional recovery and regeneration of adult mouse heart tissues after acute myocardial infarction. zECM-treated groups exhibit proliferation of the remaining cardiomyocytes and multiple cardiac precursor cell populations and reactivation of ErbB2 expression in cardiomyocytes. Furthermore, zECM exhibits pro-proliferative and chemotactic effects on human cardiac precursor cell populations in vitro. These contribute to the structural preservation and correlate with significantly higher cardiac contractile function, notably less left ventricular dilatation, and substantially more elastic myocardium in zECM-treated hearts than control animals treated with saline or decellularized adult mouse cardiac ECM. Inhibition of ErbB2 activity abrogates beneficial effects of zECM administration, indicating the possible involvement of ErbB2 signaling in zECM-mediated regeneration. This study departs from conventional focuses on mammalian ECM and introduces a new approach for cardiac tissue regeneration.

Abstract
Cardiac regeneration is a homeostatic cardiogenic process by which the sections of malfunctioning adult cardiovascular tissues are repaired and renewed employing a combination of both cardiomyogenesis and angiogenesis. Unfortunately, while high-quality regeneration can be performed in amphibians and zebrafish hearts, mammalian hearts do not respond in kind. Indeed, a long-term loss of proliferative capacity in mammalian adult cardiomyocytes in combination with dysregulated induction of tissue fibrosis impairs mammalian endogenous heart regenerative capacity, leading to deleterious cardiac remodeling at the end stage of heart failure. Interestingly, several studies have demonstrated that cardiomyocyte proliferation capacity is retained in mammals very soon after birth, and cardiac regeneration potential is correspondingly preserved in some preadolescent vertebrates after myocardial infarction. There is therefore great interest in uncovering the molecular mechanisms that may allow heart regeneration during adult stages. This review will summarize recent findings on cardiac regenerative regulatory mechanisms, especially with respect to extracellular signals and intracellular pathways that may provide novel therapeutics for heart diseases. Particularly, both in vitro and in vivo experimental evidences will be presented to highlight the functional role of these signaling cascades in regulating cardiomyocyte proliferation, cardiomyocyte growth, and maturation, with special emphasis on their responses to heart tissue injury.
