Polystyrene nanoplastics induce cardiotoxicity by upregulating HIPK2 and activating the P53 and TGF-β1/Smad3 pathways. JOURNAL OF HAZARDOUS MATERIALS 2024; 474:134823. [PMID: 38852254 DOI: 10.1016/j.jhazmat.2024.134823] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/09/2024] [Revised: 05/16/2024] [Accepted: 06/03/2024] [Indexed: 06/11/2024]
Abstract
Nanoplastics (NPs) pollution has become a global environmental problem, raising numerous health concerns. However, the cardiotoxicity of NPs exposure and the underlying mechanisms have been understudied to date. To address this issue, we comprehensively evaluated the cardiotoxicity of polystyrene nanoplastics (PS-NPs) in both healthy and pathological states. Briefly, mice were orally exposed to four different concentrations (0 mg/day, 0.1 mg/day, 0.5 mg/day, and 2.5 mg/day) of 100-nm PS-NPs for 6 weeks to assess their cardiotoxicity in a healthy state. Considering that individuals with underlying health conditions are more vulnerable to the adverse effects of pollution, we further investigated the cardiotoxic effects of PS-NPs on pathological states induced by isoprenaline. Results showed that PS-NPs induced cardiomyocyte apoptosis, cardiac fibrosis, and myocardial dysfunction in healthy mice and exacerbated cardiac remodeling in pathological states. RNA sequencing revealed that PS-NPs significantly upregulated homeodomain interacting protein kinase 2 (HIPK2) in the heart and activated the P53 and TGF-beta signaling pathways. Pharmacological inhibition of HIPK2 reduced P53 phosphorylation and inhibited the activation of the TGF-β1/Smad3 pathway, which in turn decreased PS-NPs-induced cardiotoxicity. This study elucidated the potential mechanisms underlying PS-NPs-induced cardiotoxicity and underscored the importance of evaluating nanoplastics safety, particularly for individuals with pre-existing heart conditions.

Abstract
Doxorubicin (DOX) is a powerful anthracycline antineoplastic drug used to treat a wide spectrum of tumors. However, its clinical application is limited due to cardiotoxic side effects. Astragaloside IV (AS IV), one of the major compounds present in aqueous extracts of Astragalus membranaceus, possesses potent cardiovascular protective properties, but the underlying molecular mechanisms are unclear. Thus, the aim of this study was to investigate the effect of AS IV on DOX-induced cardiotoxicity (DIC). Our findings revealed that DOX induced pyroptosis through the caspase-1/gasdermin D (GSDMD) and caspase-3/gasdermin E (GSDME) pathways. AS IV treatment significantly improved the cardiac function and alleviated myocardial injury in DOX-exposed mice by regulating intestinal flora and inhibiting pyroptosis; markedly suppressed the levels of cleaved caspase-1, N-GSDMD, cleaved caspase-3, and N-GSDME; and reversed DOX-induced downregulation of silent information regulator 1 (SIRT1) and activation of the NLR family pyrin domain containing 3 (NLRP3) inflammasome in mice. The SIRT1 inhibitor EX527 significantly blocked the protective effects of AS IV. Collectively, our results suggest that AS IV protects against DIC by inhibiting pyroptosis through the SIRT1/NLRP3 pathway.

Emodin ameliorates doxorubicin-induced cardiotoxicity by inhibiting ferroptosis through the remodeling of gut microbiota composition. Am J Physiol Cell Physiol 2024; 326:C161-C176. [PMID: 38009195 DOI: 10.1152/ajpcell.00477.2023] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/22/2023] [Revised: 11/06/2023] [Accepted: 11/20/2023] [Indexed: 11/28/2023]
Abstract
The relationship between gut microbiota and doxorubicin-induced cardiotoxicity (DIC) is becoming increasingly clear. Emodin (EMO), a naturally occurring anthraquinone, exerts cardioprotective effects and plays a protective role by regulating gut microbiota composition. Therefore, the protective effect of EMO against DIC injury and its underlying mechanisms are worth investigating. In this study, we analyzed the differences in the gut microbiota in recipient mice transplanted with different flora using 16S-rDNA sequencing, analyzed the differences in serum metabolites among groups of mice using a nontargeted gas chromatography-mass spectrometry coupling system, and assessed cardiac function based on cardiac morphological staining, cardiac injury markers, and ferroptosis indicator assays. We found EMO ameliorated DIC and ferroptosis, as evidenced by decreased myocardial fibrosis, cardiomyocyte hypertrophy, and myocardial disorganization; improved ferroptosis indicators; and the maintenance of normal mitochondrial morphology. The protective effect of EMO was eliminated by the scavenging effect of antibiotics on the gut microbiota. Through fecal microbiota transplantation (FMT), we found that EMO restored the gut microbiota disrupted by doxorubicin (DOX) to near-normal levels. This was evidenced by an increased proportion of Bacteroidota and a decreased proportion of Verrucomicrobiota. FMT resulted in changes in the composition of serum metabolites. Mice transplanted with EMO-improved gut microbiota showed better cardiac function and ferroptosis indices; however, these beneficial effects were not observed in Nrf2 (Nfe2l2)-/- mice. Overall, EMO exerted a protective effect against DIC by attenuating ferroptosis, and the above effects occurred by remodeling the composition of gut microbiota perturbed by DOX and required Nrf2 mediation.NEW & NOTEWORTHY This study demonstrated for the first time the protective effect of emodin against DIC and verified by FMT that its cardioprotective effect was achieved by remodeling gut microbiota composition, resulting in attenuation of ferroptosis. Furthermore, we demonstrated that these effects were mediated by the redox-related gene Nrf2.

Abstract
Although chemotherapy drugs are extensively utilized in cancer therapy, their administration for treatment of patients has faced problems that regardless of chemoresistance, increasing evidence has shown concentration-related toxicity of drugs. Doxorubicin (DOX) is a drug used in treatment of solid and hematological tumors, and its function is based on topoisomerase suppression to impair cancer progression. However, DOX can also affect the other organs of body and after chemotherapy, life quality of cancer patients decreases due to the side effects. Heart is one of the vital organs of body that is significantly affected by DOX during cancer chemotherapy, and this can lead to cardiac dysfunction and predispose to development of cardiovascular diseases and atherosclerosis, among others. The exposure to DOX can stimulate apoptosis and sometimes, pro-survival autophagy stimulation can ameliorate this condition. Moreover, DOX-mediated ferroptosis impairs proper function of heart and by increasing oxidative stress and inflammation, DOX causes cardiac dysfunction. The function of DOX in mediating cardiac toxicity is mediated by several pathways that some of them demonstrate protective function including Nrf2. Therefore, if expression level of such protective mechanisms increases, they can alleviate DOX-mediated cardiac toxicity. For this purpose, pharmacological compounds and therapeutic drugs in preventing DOX-mediated cardiotoxicity have been utilized and they can reduce side effects of DOX to prevent development of cardiovascular diseases in patients underwent chemotherapy. Furthermore, (nano)platforms are used comprehensively in treatment of cardiovascular diseases and using them for DOX delivery can reduce side effects by decreasing concentration of drug. Moreover, when DOX is loaded on nanoparticles, it is delivered into cells in a targeted way and its accumulation in healthy organs is prevented to diminish its adverse impacts. Hence, current paper provides a comprehensive discussion of DOX-mediated toxicity and subsequent alleviation by drugs and nanotherapeutics in treatment of cardiovascular diseases.

Abstract
Doxorubicin (Dox) is a chemotherapeutic agent widely used in the clinic, whose side effects include cardiotoxicity, associated with decreased antioxidant defenses and increased oxidative stress. The association of Dox with natural antioxidants can extend its use if not interfering with its pharmacological potential. In this study, we aimed to understand the effects and mechanisms of the aqueous extract of Acrocomia aculeata leaves (EA-Aa) in cancer cells and the co-treatment with Dox, in in vitro and in vivo models. It was found that EA-Aa showed a relevant decrease in the viability of cancer cells (K562 and MCF-7) and increased apoptosis and death. The Dox cytotoxic effect in co-treatment with EA-Aa was increased in cancer cells. The therapeutic association also promoted a change in cell death, leading to a higher rate of apoptosis compared to the Dox group, which induced necrosis. In addition, in non-cancer cells, EA-Aa enhanced red blood cell (RBC) redox state with lower hemolysis and malondialdehyde (MDA) content and had no in vitro nor in vivo toxicity. Furthermore, EA-Aa showed antioxidant protection against Dox-induced cytotoxicity in H9c2 cells (cardiomyoblast), partially mediated by the NRF2 pathway. In vivo, EA-Aa treatment showed a relevant decrease in MDA levels in the heart, kidney, and brain, evaluated in C57Bl/6 mice induced to cardiotoxicity by Dox. Together, our results proved the effectiveness of EA-Aa in potentiating Dox anticancer effects, with antioxidant and cardioprotective activity, suggesting EA-Aa as a potential Dox pharmacological adjuvant.

Abstract
Being a broad-spectrum anticancer drug, doxorubicin is indispensable for clinical treatment. Unexpectedly, its cardiotoxic side effects have proven to be a formidable obstacle. Numerous studies are currently devoted to elucidating the pathological mechanisms underlying doxorubicin-induced cardiotoxicity. Nrf2 has always played a crucial role in oxidative stress, but numerous studies have demonstrated that it also plays a vital part in pathological mechanisms like cell death and inflammation. Numerous studies on the pathological mechanisms associated with doxorubicin-induced cardiotoxicity demonstrate this. Several clinical drugs, natural and synthetic compounds, as well as small molecule RNAs have been demonstrated to prevent doxorubicin-induced cardiotoxicity by activating Nrf2. Consequently, this study emphasizes the introduction of Nrf2, discusses the role of Nrf2 in doxorubicin-induced cardiotoxicity, and concludes with a summary of the therapeutic modalities targeting Nrf2 to ameliorate doxorubicin-induced cardiotoxicity, highlighting the potential value of Nrf2 in doxorubicin-induced cardiotoxicity.

Abstract
Yellow glutinous rice wine is a traditional Chinese beverage created by soaking, boiling, and fermenting glutinous rice. The majority of current studies on the flavor of yellow glutinous rice wine are based on instrumental analysis, with sensory analysis being overlooked. In this study, 36 volatile chemicals in the fermentation process of yellow wine were annotated by GC-MS and then an OPLS-DA model was built to screen out 13 distinctive substances (VIP > 1, p < 0.01). The relative odor activity value (ROAV) was calculated using the threshold values of these chemicals and 10 substances, including alcohols, esters, and aldehydes, were found as key contributors to the overall flavor of yellow wine. Following that, consumers quantified the sensory descriptors of yellow wine using rate-all-that-apply (RATA), and correspondence analysis revealed three groups of characteristic flavors and odors. Alcohols and esters were found to be key producers of flowery and fruity scents in yellow wine, according to correlation analysis. We discovered two alcohols that are rarely found in yellow wine: [R,R]-2,3-butanediol and 1-phenylethanol. The former was found to be favorably connected with wine scent and pungent odor, and its specific effect on flavor should be researched further.

Abstract
Doxorubicin (DOX) has a wide antitumor spectrum, but its adverse cardiotoxicity may lead to heart failure. Urotensin II (UII) is the most potent vasoconstrictor in mammals. It plays a role by activating the UII receptor (UT), the orphan G protein-coupled receptor (GPR14), collectively referred to as the UII/UT system. In the new version of "Chinese expert consensus on cardiac rehabilitation of chronic heart failure," it is pointed out that exercise rehabilitation is the cornerstone of cardiac rehabilitation. In this study, in vitro and in vivo assessments were performed using DOX-treated H9C2 cells and rats. It was found that the UT antagonist Urantide and exercise training improved DOX-induced cardiac insufficiency, reduced DOX-induced cardiomyocyte apoptosis, improved the structural disorder of myocardial fibers, and inhibited DOX-induced myocardial fibrosis. Further studies showed that Urantide alleviated DOX-induced cardiotoxicity by downregulating the expression levels of the p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase signaling pathway.

Abstract
The anthracycline antibiotic doxorubicin (DOX) is an effective anticancer agent, but its clinical use is limited by dose-dependent cardiotoxicity. Scutellarin (SCU), a natural polyphenolic flavonoid, is used as a cardioprotective agent for infarction and ischemia-reperfusion injury. This study investigated the beneficial effect of SCU on DOX-induced chronic cardiotoxicity. Rats were injected intraperitoneally (i. p.) with DOX (2.5 mg/kg) twice a week for four weeks and then allowed to rest for two weeks to establish the chronic cardiotoxicity animal model. A dose of 10 mg/kg/day SCU was injected i. p. daily for six weeks to attenuate cardiotoxicity. SCU attenuated DOX-induced elevated oxidative stress levels and cardiac troponin T (cTnT), decreased left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) and fractional shortening (LVFS), elevated isovolumic relaxation time (IVRT), electrophysiology and histopathological alterations. In addition, SCU significantly attenuated DOX-induced cardiac fibrosis and reduced extracellular matrix (ECM) accumulation by inhibiting the TGF-β1/Smad2 signaling pathway. Furthermore, SCU also prevented against DOX-induced apoptosis and autophagy as evidenced by upregulation of Bcl-2, downregulation of Bax and cleaved caspase-3, inhibited the AMPK/mTOR pathway. These results revealed that the cardioprotective effect of SCU on DOX-induced chronic cardiotoxicity may be attributed to reducing oxidative stress, myocardial fibrosis, apoptosis and autophagy.

BMC Mol Cell Biol 2022; 23:55. [DOI: 10.1186/s12860-022-00454-1] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/22/2022] [Accepted: 11/25/2022] [Indexed: 12/15/2022] Open
Abstract
AbstractDoxorubicin (DOX), which is widely used in cancer treatment, can induce cardiomyopathy. One of the main mechanisms whereby DOX induces cardiotoxicity involves pyroptosis through the NLR family pyrin domain containing 3 (NLRP3) inflammasome and gasdermin D (GSDMD). Increased NAPDH oxidase (NOX) and oxidative stress trigger pyroptosis. Exogenous 8-hydroxydeoxyguanosine (8-OHdG) decreases reactive oxygen species (ROS) production by inactivating NOX. Here, we examined whether 8-OHdG treatment can attenuate DOX-induced pyroptosis in H9c2 cardiomyocytes. Exposure to DOX increased the peroxidative glutathione redox status and NOX1/2/4, toll-like receptor (TLR)2/4, and nuclear factor kappa-light-chain-enhancer of activated B cells (NF-κB) expression, while an additional 8-OHdG treatment attenuated these effects. Furthermore, DOX induced higher expression of NLRP3 inflammasome components, including NLRP3, apoptosis-associated speck-like protein containing a c-terminal caspase recruitment domain (ASC), and pro-caspase-1. Moreover, it increased caspase-1 activity, a marker of pyroptosis, and interleukin (IL)-1β expression. All these effects were attenuated by 8-OHdG treatment. In addition, the expression of the cardiotoxicity markers, atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP) and brain natriuretic peptide (BNP) was increased by DOX, whereas the increase of ANP and BNP induced by DOX treatment was reversed by 8-OHdG. In conclusion, exogenous 8-OHdG attenuated DOX-induced pyroptosis by decreasing the expression of NOX1/2/3, TLR2/4, and NF-κB. Thus, 8-OHdG may attenuate DOX-induced cardiotoxicity through the inhibition of pyroptosis.

Abstract
Complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) supplements are widely used by cancer patients. Dietary supplements, vitamins and minerals, herbal remedies, and antioxidants are especially popular. In a systematic literature review, 37 studies, each including more than 1000 participants, on CAM, dietary supplement, and vitamin use among cancer patients were identified. Accordingly, cancer patients use antioxidants such as vitamin C (from 2.6% (United Kingdom) to 41.6% (United States)) and vitamin E (from 2.9% (China) to 48% (United States)). Dietary supplements and vitamins are taken for different reasons, but often during conventional cancer treatment involving chemotherapy or radiotherapy and in a self-decided manner without seeking medical advice from healthcare professionals. Drug-drug interactions with dietary supplements or vitamins involving multiple signaling pathways are well described. Since most of the anticancer drugs generate reactive oxygen species (ROS), an adaptive stress response of healthy and malignant cells, mainly driven by the Nrf-2-Keap I network, can be observed. On the one hand, healthy cells should be protected from ROS-overproducing chemotherapy and radiotherapy; on the other hand, ROS production in cancer cells is a "desirable side effect" during anticancer drug treatment. We here describe the paradoxical use of antioxidants and supplements during cancer therapy, possible interactions with anticancer drugs, and the involvement of the Nrf-2 transcription factor.

Abstract
Doxorubicin (DOX) is an anthracycline chemotherapy drug, which is indispensable in antitumor therapy. However, its subsequent induction of cardiovascular disease (CVD) has become the primary cause of mortality in cancer survivors. Accumulating evidence has demonstrated that cardiac mitochondrial bioenergetics changes have become a significant marker for doxorubicin-induced cardiotoxicity (DIC). Here, we mainly summarize the related mechanisms of DOX-induced cardiac mitochondrial bioenergetics disorders reported in recent years, including mitochondrial substrate metabolism, the mitochondrial respiratory chain, myocardial ATP storage and utilization, and other mechanisms affecting mitochondrial bioenergetics. In addition, intervention for DOX-induced cardiac mitochondrial bioenergetics disorders using chemical drugs and traditional herbal medicine is also summarized, which will provide a comprehensive process to study and develop more appropriate therapeutic strategies for DIC.

Abstract
Cardiotoxicity is the major side effect of anthracyclines (doxorubicin, daunorubicin, epirubicin, and idarubicin), though being the most commonly used chemotherapy drugs and the mainstay of therapy in solid and hematological neoplasms. Advances in the field of cardio-oncology have expanded our understanding of the molecular mechanisms underlying anthracycline-induced cardiotoxicity (AIC). AIC has a complex pathogenesis that includes a variety of aspects such as oxidative stress, autophagy, and inflammation. Emerging evidence has strongly suggested that the loss of mitochondrial quality control (MQC) plays an important role in the progression of AIC. Mitochondria are vital organelles in the cardiomyocytes that serve as the key regulators of reactive oxygen species (ROS) production, energy metabolism, cell death, and calcium buffering. However, as mitochondria are susceptible to damage, the MQC system, including mitochondrial dynamics (fusion/fission), mitophagy, mitochondrial biogenesis, and mitochondrial protein quality control, appears to be crucial in maintaining mitochondrial homeostasis. In this review, we summarize current evidence on the role of MQC in the pathogenesis of AIC and highlight the therapeutic potential of restoring the cardiomyocyte MQC system in the prevention and intervention of AIC.

Abstract
Background Dietary polyphenols, polypeptides, and oligosaccharides modulate inflammation and immunity by altering the composition of gut microbiota. The polyphenols and polypeptides in Chinese rice wine have protective effects against cardiovascular disease. In this study, we hypothesized that the polyphenols, polypeptides, and oligosaccharides in Chinese rice wine can ameliorate diabetic cardiomyopathy (DCM) by altering gut microbiota and metabolites. Methods Mice with DCM and high glucose cells were treated with rice wine polyphenols (RWPH), rice wine polypeptides (RWPE), and rice wine oligosaccharides. Cardiac function was evaluated by echocardiography and detection of myocardial injury markers. We observed the pathological structures using hematoxylin and eosin staining, Masson's trichrome staining, and transmission electron microscopy. The expression levels of autophagy-related proteins and stubRFP-sensGFP-LC3 fluorescence were measured to evaluate autophagy. We performed TUNEL staining and measured the levels of Bax, Bcl-2, and p53 to assess apoptosis. To analyze the effects of the rice wine functional components on the gut microbiota and metabolites of DCM mice, we performed fecal 16S-rDNA gene sequencing and serum untargeted metabolomics. Results Our results showed an increase in cardiac and mitochondrial function, promotion of autophagy, and inhibition of cardiomyocyte apoptosis, which indicates that RWPH and RWPE can ameliorate DCM. The abundance of Akkermansia and Desulfovibrio were reduced by the presence of RWPH and RWPE. The growth of the Lachnospiraceae_NK4A136_group and Clostridiales-unclassified were promoted by the presence of RWPH. Tryptophan metabolism-associated metabolites were increased and phenylalanine levels were reduced by the presence of RWPH and RWPE. The biosynthesis of primary bile acids was enhanced by the presence of RWPH. Conclusion Both RWPH and RWPE provided a protective effect against DCM by promoting autophagy, inhibiting apoptosis, and reversing both gut microbiota dysbiosis and metabolic dysregulation.

Abstract
Background In recent years, the prevalence of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) has increased annually. The major complication of T2DM is cardiovascular disease (CVD). CVD is the main cause of death in T2DM patients, particularly those with comorbid acute coronary syndrome (ACS). Although risk prediction models using multivariate logistic regression are available to assess the probability of new-onset ACS development in T2DM patients, none have been established using machine learning (ML). Methods Between January 2019 and January 2020, we enrolled 521 T2DM patients with new-onset ACS or no ACS from our institution's medical information recording system and divided them into a training dataset and a testing dataset. Seven ML algorithms were used to establish models to assess the probability of ACS coupled with 5-cross validation. Results We established a nomogram to assess the probability of newly diagnosed ACS in T2DM patients with an area under the curve (AUC) of 0.80 in the testing dataset and identified some key features: family history of CVD, history of smoking and drinking, aspartate aminotransferase level, age, neutrophil count, and Killip grade, which accelerated the development of ACS in patients with T2DM. The AUC values of the seven ML models were 0.70-0.96, and random forest model had the best performance (accuracy, 0.89; AUC, 0.96; recall, 0.83; precision, 0.91; F1 score, 0.87). Conclusion ML algorithms, especially random forest model (AUC, 0.961), had higher performance than conventional logistic regression (AUC, 0.801) for assessing new-onset ACS probability in T2DM patients with excellent clinical and diagnostic value.

Abstract
Introduction Chemotherapy has significantly improved cancer survival rates at the cost of irreversible and frequent cardiovascular toxicity. As the main dose-dependent adverse effect, cardiotoxic effects not only limit the usage of chemotherapeutic agents, but also cause the high risk of severe poor prognoses for cancer survivors. Therefore, it is of great significance to seek more effective cardioprotective strategies. Some nutrients have been reported to diminish cardiac oxidative damage associated with chemotherapy. However, the currently available evidence is unclear, which requires a rigorous summary. As such, we conducted a systematic review of all available evidence and demonstrated whether nutrients derived from food could prevent cardiotoxicity caused by chemotherapy. Methods We searched Medline (via PubMed), Embase and the Cochrane Library from inception to Nov 9, 2021 to identify studies reporting dietary nutrients against cancer chemotherapy-related cardiotoxicity. We performed descriptive summaries on the included studies, and used forest plots to demonstrate the effects of various dietary nutrients. Results Fifty-seven eligible studies were identified, involving 53 animal studies carried on rats or mice and four human studies in cancer patients. Seven types of dietary nutrients were recognized including polyphenols (mainly extracted from grapes, grape seeds, and tea), allicin (mainly extracted form garlic), lycopene (mainly extracted from tomatoes), polyunsaturated fatty acids, amino acids (mainly referring to glutamine), coenzyme Q10, and trace elements (mainly referring to zinc and selenium). Dietary nutrients ameliorated left ventricular dysfunctions and myocardial oxidative stress at varying degrees, which were caused by chemotherapy. The overall risk of bias of included studies was at moderate to high risk. Conclusion The results indicated that dietary nutrients might be a potential strategy to protect cardiovascular system exposed to the chemotherapeutic agents, but more human studies are urged in this field.Systematic Review Registration: https://inplasy.com/inplasy-2022-3-0015/.

Abstract
Abstract
Doxorubicin (DOX) is a powerful antitumor agent with a well-known cardiaotoxic side effects. In the current study, the ameliorative combined impacts of montelukast (Mont) and Klotho against doxorubicin-induced cardiac toxicity were examined. Fifty-six adult male rats (2 months age and weighting 150–200 g) were grouped into 7 groups (8 rats per group). Animals received doxorubicin alone or in combination with either Mont or Klotho. After 2 weeks of treatments, serum samples were examined to assess the changes in cardiac activity biomarkers such as LDH, CK-MB, cardiac troponin-I (cTn-I), and heart fatty acid binding protein (H-FABP). Serum changes of IL-6, inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS), and caspase-3 levels were assayed. The oxidative stress biomarkers such as total antioxidant capacity (TAC) and inflammatory (rat IL-1β and rat TNF-α,) and anti-inflammatory (rat IL-10) cytokines were examined. Heart histology and transforming growth factor-β1 (TGF-β1) immunoreactivity were measured. DOX induced cardiomyopathy, which was reflected by the increases in all examined cardiac parameters. Real-time PCR confirmed that DOX upregulated the expression of TNF-α and IL-1β and decreased the expression of IL-10. Moreover, DOX showed marked elevation in the ST segment T wave complex, causing profound tachycardia. Heart histology assessments showed cardiac cell necrosis, inflammatory cell infiltration, interstitial congestion, and increased TGF-β1 immunoreactivity. Montelukast and Klotho administration ameliorated all the altered parameters when administered alone or in combination to DOX-intoxicated rats. Klotho was more effective compared with montelukast in terms of reductions in heart rate, ST segment T wave complex elevation, cardiac enzymes (lactate dehydrogenase; LDH, creatine kinase-MB; CK-MB, cardiac troponin I; cTn-I, heart fatty acid binding protein; H-FABP) cardiac histology, and caspase-3 levels and increases in TAC activity. Montelukast was more effective in reducing serum levels of IL6 and iNOS, expression of TNF-α and IL-1β, and the upregulation of IL-10 expression. The co-administration of both drugs led to significantly more synergistic results in terms of reducing cardiac toxicity. In conclusion, montelukast and Klotho either alone or in combination were confirmed to be effective in suppressing DOX-induced cardiac toxicity in rats.

Abstract
The pure culture fermentation has led to less flavorful rice wine and relatively lower bioactive substance level compared to traditional mixed culture fermentation; however, a pure strain is easily controlled by industrialized producers. The purpose of the present research was to screen a species of Rhizopus for improving the flavor deficiency and antioxidant function of sweet rice wine. Seven rice wine samples fermented with isolated strains were analyzed for their total phenolics, total flavonoids, peptide and antioxidant activity using spectrophotometry, as well as ethanol, ethyl acetate, β-phenethyl alcohol, and volatile alcohol contents measured by headspace gas chromatography (HS-GC), the further principal component analysis determined Rhizopus delemar rice wine better on aroma and antioxidant capacity. A comparison of phenolics profile between R. delemar and R. oryzae rice wines was made based on the measurement data of ultrahigh-performance liquid chromatography coupled with Q-exactive orbitrap mass spectrometry (UHPLC-QE-MS) data. Thirty-two phenolics were identified in sweet rice wine. Overall, the results presented in this study showed that a strain of R. delemar is available for the improvement of flavor and antioxidant activity in sweet rice wine, which has the great potential to be applied to industrialized products.

Abstract
Doxorubicin (Dox) is a highly effective chemotherapeutic agent employed in the handling of hematological and solid tumors. The effective use of Dox in cancer therapy has been seriously limited due to its well-known cardiotoxic side effects, mainly mediated by oxidative damage. Therefore, the identification of an effective and safe antagonist against Dox-induced cardiotoxicity remains a challenge. In this respect, as plant polyphenols have attracted considerable interest due to their antioxidant properties and good safety profile, hydroxytyrosol (HT), the major phenolic compound in olive oil, could be a potential candidate due to its remarkable antioxidant and anticancer powers. In this study, the effect of HT was tested on Dox-induced cardiotoxicity by using a combination of biochemical and cellular biology techniques. Interestingly, HT was able to counteract Dox-induced cytotoxicity in cardiomyocytes by acting on the SOD2 level and the oxidative response, as well as on apoptotic mechanisms mediated by Bcl-2/Bax. At the same time, HT did not to interfere with the antitumorigenic properties of Dox in osteosarcoma cells. This study identifies new, beneficial properties for HT and suggests that it might be a promising molecule for the development of additional therapeutic approaches aimed at preventing anthracycline-related cardiotoxicity and improving long-term outcomes in antineoplastic treatments.

Scutellarin attenuates doxorubicin-induced oxidative stress, DNA damage, mitochondrial dysfunction, apoptosis and autophagy in H9c2 cells, cardiac fibroblasts and HUVECs. Toxicol In Vitro 2022; 82:105366. [PMID: 35470029 DOI: 10.1016/j.tiv.2022.105366] [Citation(s) in RCA: 10] [Impact Index Per Article: 5.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/09/2022] [Revised: 04/03/2022] [Accepted: 04/19/2022] [Indexed: 02/06/2023]
Abstract
Studies on doxorubicin (DOX)-induced cardiotoxicity have mainly focused on cardiomyocytes (CMs), but it is unclear whether there are differences in the toxicity degree of DOX to CMs, cardiac fibroblasts (CFs) and endothelial cells (ECs). We used H9c2 cells, rat primary isolated CFs and human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) to systematically research the cytotoxicity of DOX. Scutellarin (SCU) is a natural polyphenolic flavonoid that exerts a cardioprotective effect. In the present study, we explored the protective effects of SCU on DOX-induced cytotoxicity in H9c2 cells, CFs and HUVECs. The results showed that DOX decreased cell viability and increased the apoptosis rate, whereas DOX had a greater killing effect on H9c2 cells compared to CFs and HUVECs. DOX significantly elevated oxidative stress, but the malondialdehyde (MDA) levels in H9c2 cells were higher after DOX treatment. In all three cell types, DOX induced DNA damage and mitochondrial dysfunction, it activated apoptosis by activation of Bax/ Bcl-2 and it induced autophagy by inhibiting the Akt/ mTOR pathway. Pretreatment with different concentrations of SCU reversed these phenomena in a dose-dependent manner. Collectively, these results revealed that there were slight differences in DOX-induced cytotoxicity among H9c2 cells, CFs and HUVECs. Furthermore, the cardioprotective effect of SCU may be attributed to attenuation of DOX-induced oxidative stress, DNA damage, mitochondrial dysfunction, apoptosis and autophagy.

Resveratrol Inhibits High Glucose-Induced H9c2 Cardiomyocyte Hypertrophy and Damage via RAGE-Dependent Inhibition of the NF- κB and TGF- β1/Smad3 Pathways. EVIDENCE-BASED COMPLEMENTARY AND ALTERNATIVE MEDICINE 2022; 2022:7781910.

Abstract
Hyperglycaemia is associated with the development of cardiac vascular disease. Resveratrol (RES) is a naturally occurring polyphenolic compound that possesses many biological properties, including anti-inflammatory properties and antioxidation functions. Our study aimed to explore the RES's protective roles on high glucose (HG)-induced H9c2 cells and the underlying mechanisms. Small-molecule inhibitors, western blotting (WB), as well as reverse-transcription PCR (RT-PCR) were employed to investigate the mechanisms underlying HG-induced damage in H9c2 cells. RES (40 μg/mL) treatment significantly alleviated HG-induced cardiac hypertrophy and cardiac dysfunction. RES abated the HG‐induced increase in the levels of extracellular matrix (ECM) components and inflammatory cytokines, reducing ECM accumulation and inflammatory responses. Additionally, RES administration prevented HG‐induced mitochondrion‐mediated cardiac apoptosis of myocardial cells. In terms of mechanisms, we demonstrated that RES ameliorated the HG‐induced overexpression of receptor for advanced glycation endproducts (RAGE) and downregulation of NF-κB signalling. Moreover, RES inhibited HG‐induced cardiac fibrosis by inhibiting transforming growth factor beta 1 (TGF‐β1)/Smad3‐mediated ECM synthesis in cultured H9c2 cardiomyocytes. Further studies revealed that the effects of RES against HG‐induced upregulation of NF-κB and TGF‐β1/Smad3 pathways were similar to those of FPS-ZM1, a RAGE inhibitor. Collectively, the results implied that RES might help alleviate HG‐induced cardiotoxicity via RAGE‐dependent downregulation of the NF-κB and TGF‐β/Smad3 pathways. This study provided evidence that RES can be developed as a promising cardioprotective drug.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Dietary polyphenols help to prevent cardiovascular diseases, and interactions between polyphenols and gut microbiota are known to exist. In this study, we speculated that gut microbiota-mediated metabolite regulation might contribute to the anticardiotoxic effects of yellow wine polyphenolic compound (YWPC) in doxorubicin (DOX)-treated rats. METHODS 16S-rDNA sequencing was performed to analyze the effects of YWPC on the gut microbiota in DOX-treated rats (n=6). Antibiotics were used to investigate the contribution of the altered microbiome to the role of YWPC (n=6). Plasma metabolomics were also analyzed by untargeted gas chromatography-mass spectrometry systems. RESULTS YWPC ameliorated DOX-mediated cardiotoxicity, as evidenced by increased cardiac and mitochondrial function and reduced levels of inflammation and myocardial apoptosis (P<0.05 for all). The low abundance of Escherichia-Shigella, Dubosiella, and Allobaculum, along with enrichment of Muribaculaceae_unclassified, Ralstonia, and Rikenellaceae_RC9_gut_group in the gut, suggested that YWPC ameliorated DOX-induced microbial dysbiosis. YWPC also influenced the levels of metabolites altered by DOX, resulting in lower arachidonic acid and linoleic acid metabolism and higher tryptophan metabolite levels (P<0.05 for all). Correlational studies indicated that YWPC alleviated DOX-induced inflammation and mitochondrial dysfunction by modulating the gut microbial community and its associated metabolites. Antibiotic treatment exacerbated cardiotoxicity in DOX-treated rats, and its effect on the gut microbiota partly abolished the anticardiotoxic effects of YWPC, suggesting that the microbiota is required for the cardioprotective role of YWPC. CONCLUSIONS YWPC protected against DOX-induced cardiotoxicity in a gut microbiota-dependent manner. This supports the use of dietary polyphenols as a therapeutic approach for the treatment of cardiovascular diseases via microbiota regulation.

Protective Effects and Mechanisms of Recombinant Human Glutathione Peroxidase 4 on Isoproterenol-Induced Myocardial Ischemia Injury. OXIDATIVE MEDICINE AND CELLULAR LONGEVITY 2021; 2021:6632813. [PMID: 34539971 PMCID: PMC8443360 DOI: 10.1155/2021/6632813] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/13/2020] [Revised: 07/26/2021] [Accepted: 08/21/2021] [Indexed: 01/15/2023]
Abstract
Ischemic heart disease (IHD) is a cardiovascular disease with high fatality rate, and its pathogenesis is closely related to oxidative stress. Reactive oxygen species (ROS) in oxidative stress can lead to myocardial ischemia (MI) injury in many ways. Therefore, the application of antioxidants may be an effective way to prevent IHD. In recent years, glutathione peroxidase 4 (GPx4) has received increasing attention due to its antioxidant effect. In a previous study, we used the new chimeric tRNAUTuT6 to express highly active recombinant human GPx4 (rhGPx4) in amber-less Escherichia coli. In this study, we established an isoproterenol- (ISO-) induced MI injury model in rats and an in vitro model to research the protective effect and mechanism of rhGPx4 on MI injury. The results showed that rhGPx4 could reduce the area of myocardial infarction and ameliorate the pathological injury of heart tissue, significantly reduce ISO-induced abnormalities on electrocardiogram (ECG) and cardiac serum biomarkers, protect mitochondrial function, and attenuate cardiac oxidative stress injury. In an in vitro model, the results also confirmed that rhGPx4 could inhibit ISO-induced oxidative stress injury and cardiomyocyte apoptosis. The mechanism of action of rhGPx4 involves not only the inhibition of lipid peroxidation by eliminating ROS but also keeping a normal level of endogenous antioxidant enzymes by eliminating ROS, thereby preventing oxidative stress injury in cardiomyocytes. Additionally, rhGPx4 could inhibit cardiomyocyte apoptosis through a mitochondria-dependent pathway. In short, rhGPx4, a recombinant antioxidant enzyme, can play an important role in the prevention of IHD and may have great potential for application.

Abstract
Cardiotoxicity is a frequent undesirable phenomenon observed during oncological treatment that limits the therapeutic dose of antitumor drugs and thus may decrease the effectiveness of cancer eradication. Almost all antitumor drugs exhibit toxic properties towards cardiac muscle. One of the underlying causes of cardiotoxicity is the stimulation of oxidative stress by chemotherapy. This suggests that an appropriately designed diet or dietary supplements based on edible plants rich in antioxidants could decrease the toxicity of antitumor drugs and diminish the risk of cardiac failure. This comprehensive review compares the cardioprotective efficacy of edible plant extracts and foodborne phytochemicals whose beneficial activity was demonstrated in various models in vivo and in vitro. The studies selected for this review concentrated on a therapy frequently applied in cancer, anthracycline antibiotic-doxorubicin-as the oxidative stress- and cardiotoxicity-inducing agent.

Abstract
Background: Cardiac fibroblast (CF) activation is a hallmark feature of cardiac fibrosis in diabetic cardiomyopathy (DCM). Inhibition of the sodium-dependent glucose transporter 1 (SGLT1) attenuates cardiomyocyte apoptosis and delays the development of DCM. However, the role of SGLT1 in CF activation remains unclear. Methods: A rat model of DCM was established and treated with si‐SGLT1 to examine cardiac fibrosis. In addition, in vitro experiments were conducted to verify the regulatory role of SGLT1 in proliferation and collagen secretion in high-glucose– (HG–) treated CFs. Results: SGLT1 was found to be upregulated in diabetic cardiac tissues and HG-induced CFs. HG stimulation resulted in increased proliferation and migration, increased the expression of transforming growth factor-β1 and collagen I and collagen III, and increased phosphorylation of p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase and extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK) 1/2. These trends in HG-treated CFs were significantly reversed by si-SGLT1. Moreover, the overexpression of SGLT1 promoted CF proliferation and collagen synthesis and increased phosphorylation of p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase and ERK1/2. SGLT1 silencing significantly alleviated cardiac fibrosis, but had no effect on cardiac hypertrophy in diabetic hearts. Conclusion: These findings provide new information on the role of SGLT1 in CF activation, suggesting a novel therapeutic strategy for the treatment of DCM fibrosis.

Abstract
ETHNOPHARMACOLOGICAL RELEVANCE Gnaphalium affine D. Don is an important Traditional Chinese herbal Medicine (TCM) used to treat hyperuricemia, asthma, rheumatic arthritis, antitussive, expectorant and cardiovascular in folk medicine because of anti-inflammatory and anti-oxidant activity. The aim of this study was to investigate the potential beneficial effect of G. affine extract (GAE) on hydrogen peroxide (H2O2)-induced apoptosis and explore the possible underlying mechanism in cardiomyocyte. MATERIALS AND METHODS The ingredients of GAE were isolated and tentatively identified by HPLC-ESI-Q-Qribatrip-MS/MS. The cardioprotective and anti-oxidant effects of GAE were evaluated in the experimental model with H2O2 induced apoptosis in H9c2 cells. H9c2 cells were pretreated for 3 h with or without GAE or with GAE plus PX866 (PI3K inhibitor), then exposed to H2O2 for 6 h, H9c2 cells viability were detected by CCK8 kit, the content of intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS) and malondialdehyde (MDA) and intracellular superoxide dismutase (SOD) activity were measured by the commercial biochemical kits, western blotting, immunohistochemical (IHC), immunofluorescence (IF) and reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) assays were performed to evaluate the proteins and mRNA expression, propidium iodide (PI) staining was adopted to indicate H9c2 cells apoptosis. RESULTS Firstly, seventeen polyphenols and flavonoids compounds with the characteristics of anti-inflammatory and anti-oxidant in GAE were tentatively identified by HPLC-ESI-Q-Qribatrip-MS/MS. In the experimental model, GAE not only significantly improved cells viability, but also showed anti-oxidant effects through improving SOD activity, up-regulating nuclear factor E2-related factor 2 (Nrf2), and decreasing intracellular concentration of ROS and MDA and the proteins expression of p47phox, p67phox and gp91phox. On the other hand, GAE revealed anti-apoptotic effect through up-regulating the expression of B-cell lymphoma-2 (Bcl-2), down-regulating Bcl2-associated X (BAX) and cleaved-caspase 3. Furthermore, GAE significantly facilitated phosphorylation of AKT and glycogen synthase kinase-3 beta (GSK-3β) but not AMPK, while the effects were blocked by PX866 (PI3K inhibitor). CONCLUSIONS Our data suggested that GAE showed strong anti-oxidant effect to ameliorate oxidative stress and attenuate apoptosis induced by H2O2 in H9c2 cells by targeting PI3K/AKT/GSK-3β signaling pathway.

Abstract
Simple Summary The use of date palm pollen ethanolic extract (DPPE) is a conventional approach in improving the side-effects induced by Doxorubicin (DOX).DPPE mitigated DOX-induced body and heart weight changes and ameliorated DOX-induced elevated cardiac injury markers. In addition, serum cardiac troponin I concentrations (cTnI), troponin T (cTnT), and N-terminal NBP and cytosolic (Ca+2) were amplified by alleviating the inflammatory and oxidative injury markers and decreasing histopathological lesions severity. DPPE decreased DOX-induced heart injuries by mitigating inflammation, fibrosis, and apoptosis through its antioxidant effect. To reduce DOX-induced oxidative stress injuries and other detrimental effects, a combined treatment of DPPE is advocated. Abstract Doxorubicin (DOX) has a potent antineoplastic efficacy and is considered a cornerstone of chemotherapy. However, it causes several dose-dependent cardiotoxic results, which has substantially restricted its clinical application. This study was intended to explore the potential ameliorative effect of date palm pollen ethanolic extract (DPPE) against DOX-induced cardiotoxicity and the mechanisms underlying it. Forty male Wistar albino rats were equally allocated into Control (CTR), DPPE (500 mg/kg bw for 4 weeks), DOX (2.5 mg/kg bw, intraperitoneally six times over 2 weeks), and DPPE + DOX-treated groups. Pre-coadministration of DPPE with DOX partially ameliorated DOX-induced cardiotoxicity as DPPE improved DOX-induced body and heart weight changes and mitigated the elevated cardiac injury markers activities of serum aminotransferases, lactate dehydrogenase, creatine kinase, and creatine kinase-cardiac type isoenzyme. Additionally, the concentration of serum cardiac troponin I (cTnI), troponin T (cTnT), N-terminal pro-brain natriuretic peptide (NT-pro BNP), and cytosolic calcium (Ca+2) were amplified. DPPE also alleviated nitrosative status (nitric oxide) in DOX-treated animals, lipid peroxidation and antioxidant molecules as glutathione content, and glutathione peroxidase, catalase, and superoxide dismutase activities and inflammatory markers levels; NF-κB p65, TNF-α, IL-1β, and IL-6. As well, it ameliorated the severity of histopathological lesions, histomorphometric alteration and improved the immune-staining of the pro-fibrotic (TGF-β1), pro-apoptotic (caspase-3 and Bax), and anti-apoptotic (Bcl-2) proteins in cardiac tissues. Collectively, pre-coadministration of DPPE partially mitigated DOX-induced cardiac injuries via its antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, anti-fibrotic, and anti-apoptotic potential.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Doxorubicin (DOX) is a widely used cancer chemotherapeutic drug with cardiotoxicity effect limiting its clinical use. DOX induced cardiotoxicity is mediated by oxidative stress and mitochondrial damage. Kininogen-1(KNG1) is an important pro-inflammatory and pro-oxidant factor, and studies have found that it can aggravate lung and brain damage. However, it has not been known in terms of cardiotoxicity. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to understand the mechanism of KNG1 in DOX-induced heart injury. METHODS C57 mice were selected for intraperitoneal injection of DOX. The model was successfully established, and fresh ventricular tissues were isolated from the ctrl group and the DOX group for mass spectrometry analysis to screen for differentially expressed proteins. Nuclear Factor-Like 2 (Nrf2), Heme Oxygenase 1 (HO-1), 4-Hydroxynonenal (4-HNE) were used to evaluate oxidative stress level, Cytochrome C Oxidase Subunit 4 (COX4) was used to evaluate mitochondria function. Mitochondrial inner membrane potential (ΔΨm) was monitored with JC-1 fluorescence. RESULTS KNG1 was identified as a core gene which was highly expressed in the DOX myocardial injury model. Following this, an overexpression adenovirus was constructed, and KNG1 was overexpressed in vivo (mice) and in vitro (neonatal mouse cardiomyocytes (NMCMs)). It was found that overexpression of KNG1 can aggravate heart oxidative stress and mitochondrial damage. Besides, a knockdown KNG1 model was constructed, and the low expression of KNG1 was performed in cytology. It was found that knockdown of KNG1 can improve cardiomyocyte oxidative stress and mitochondrial damage caused by DOX. Nrf2 is an important antioxidant factor. Further, following KNG1 knock down, Nrf2 was also knocked down, and found that its cardiomyocyte protective effect was weakened. CONCLUSION The overexpression of KNG1 aggravates the oxidative stress and mitochondrial damage of the heart in vivo and in vitro, which might play a role by regulating Nrf2, providing a therapeutic target for DOX-induced cardiotoxicity.

Abstract
Heart disease is the number one mortality disease in the world. In particular, cardiac fibrosis is considered as a major factor causing myocardial infarction and heart failure. In particular, oxidative stress is a major cause of heart fibrosis. In order to control such oxidative stress, the importance of nuclear factor erythropoietin 2 related factor 2 (NRF2) has recently been highlighted. In this review, we will discuss the activation of NRF2 by docosahexanoic acid (DHA), eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA), and the specialized pro-resolving lipid mediators (SPMs) derived from polyunsaturated lipids, including DHA and EPA. Additionally, we will discuss their effects on cardiac fibrosis via NRF2 activation.

Abstract
Juices, wine, coffee, and cocoa are rich sources of natural polyphenolic compounds that have potent antioxidant activities proven by in vitro and in vivo studies. These polyphenolic compounds quench reactive oxygen and nitrogen species (RONS) or reactive free radicals and act as natural antioxidants which are also able to protect against reactive oxygen species (ROS)-mediated oxidative damage, which elevates cellular antioxidant capacity to induce antioxidant defense mechanisms by modulating transcription factors. Nuclear factor (erythroid-derived 2)-like 2 (Nrf2) is a transcription factor encoded in humans. It is activated as a result of oxidative stress and induces the expression of its target genes. This is one of the most important cellular defense mechanisms against oxidative stress. However, the oxidative stress alone is not enough to activate Nrf2. Hence phytochemicals, especially polyphenolics, act as natural Nrf2 activators. Herein, this review discusses the natural products identified in juices, coffee, cocoa and wines that modulate Nrf2 activity in cellular systems.

Orosomucoid 1 Attenuates Doxorubicin-Induced Oxidative Stress and Apoptosis in Cardiomyocytes via Nrf2 Signaling. BIOMED RESEARCH INTERNATIONAL 2020; 2020:5923572. [PMID: 33134382 PMCID: PMC7591952 DOI: 10.1155/2020/5923572] [Citation(s) in RCA: 15] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/16/2020] [Revised: 08/22/2020] [Accepted: 10/08/2020] [Indexed: 12/21/2022]
Abstract
Doxorubicin (DOX) is an effective anticancer drug, but its therapeutic use is limited by its cardiotoxicity. The principal mechanisms of DOX-induced cardiotoxicity are oxidative stress and apoptosis in cardiomyocytes. Orosomucoid 1 (ORM1), an acute-phase protein, plays important roles in inflammation and ischemic stroke; however, the roles and mechanisms of ORM1 in DOX-induced cardiotoxicity remain unknown. Therefore, in the present study, we aimed to investigate the function of ORM1 in cardiomyocytes experiencing DOX-induced oxidative stress and apoptosis. A DOX-induced cardiotoxicity animal model was established in C57BL/6 mice by administering an intraperitoneal injection of DOX (20 mg/kg), and the control group was intraperitoneally injected with the same volume of sterilized saline. The effects were assessed after 7 d. Additionally, H9c2 cells were stimulated with DOX (10 μM) for 24 h. The results showed decreased ORM1 and increased oxidative stress and apoptosis after DOX stimulation in vivo and in vitro. ORM1 overexpression significantly reduced DOX-induced oxidative stress and apoptosis in H9c2 cells. ORM1 significantly increased the expression of nuclear factor-like 2 (Nrf2) and its downstream protein heme oxygenase 1 (HO-1) and reduced the expression of the lipid peroxidation end product 4-hydroxynonenal (4-HNE) and the level of cleaved caspase-3. In addition, Nrf2 silencing reversed the effects of ORM1 on DOX-induced oxidative stress and apoptosis in cardiomyocytes. In conclusion, ORM1 inhibited DOX-induced oxidative stress and apoptosis in cardiomyocytes by regulating the Nrf2/HO-1 pathway, which might provide a new treatment strategy for DOX-induced cardiotoxicity.

Vanillin Prevents Doxorubicin-Induced Apoptosis and Oxidative Stress in Rat H9c2 Cardiomyocytes. Nutrients 2020; 12:nu12082317. [PMID: 32752227 PMCID: PMC7468857 DOI: 10.3390/nu12082317] [Citation(s) in RCA: 12] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/06/2020] [Revised: 07/23/2020] [Accepted: 07/28/2020] [Indexed: 12/12/2022] Open
Abstract
Doxorubicin (doxo) is an effective anticancer compound in several tumor types. However, as a consequence of oxidative stress induction and ROS overproduction, its high cardiotoxicity demands urgent attention. Vanillin possesses antioxidant, antiproliferative, antidepressant and anti-glycating properties. Therefore, we investigated the potential vanillin protective effects against doxo-induced cardiotoxicity in H9c2 cells. Using multiparametric approach, we demonstrated that vanillin restored both cell viability and damage in response to doxo exposure. Contextually, vanillin decreased sub-G1 appearance and caspase-3 and PARP1 activation, reducing the doxo-related apoptosis induction. From a mechanistic point of view, vanillin hindered doxo-induced ROS accumulation and impaired the ERK phosphorylation. Notably, besides the cardioprotective effects, vanillin did not counteract the doxo effectiveness in osteosarcoma cells. Taken together, our results suggest that vanillin ameliorates doxo-induced toxicity in H9c2 cells, opening new avenues for developing alternative therapeutic approaches to prevent the anthracycline-related cardiotoxicity and to improve the long-term outcome of antineoplastic treatment.

Biochem Pharmacol 2020; 175:113888. [PMID: 32112883 DOI: 10.1016/j.bcp.2020.113888] [Citation(s) in RCA: 88] [Impact Index Per Article: 22.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/15/2020] [Accepted: 02/24/2020] [Indexed: 12/21/2022]
Abstract
Doxorubicin (DOX) is a powerful anthracycline antineoplastic drug whose clinical application is limited by serious cardiotoxic side effects. Dihydromyricetin (DHM), a flavonoid compound extracted from the Japanese raisin tree (Hovenia dulcis), is cardioprotective in patients with heart failure; however, the underlying mechanisms are poorly understood. The aim of this study was to assess the possible anti-inflammatory properties of DHM in a rat model of DOX-induced cardiotoxicity and DOX-treated H9C2 cells, and gain insights into the molecular mechanisms that mediate these effects. The results showed that DHM treatment significantly improved the myocardial structure and function in DOX-exposed rats by alleviating NLRP3 inflammasome-mediated inflammation. DHM also inhibited DOX-induced activation of the NLRP3 inflammasome in H9C2 cells. This effect was mediated by inhibition of caspase-1 activity, suppression of IL-1β and IL-18 release, and upregulation of SIRT1 protein levels in vivo and in vitro. Moreover, selective inhibition of SIRT1 blocked the protective effects of DHM. Collectively, our findings indicate that DHM protects against DOX-induced cardiotoxicity by inhibiting NLRP3 inflammasome activation via stimulation of the SIRT1 pathway.

Yellow Wine Polyphenolic Compounds prevents Doxorubicin-induced cardiotoxicity through activation of the Nrf2 signalling pathway. J Cell Mol Med 2019; 23:6034-6047. [PMID: 31225944 PMCID: PMC6714138 DOI: 10.1111/jcmm.14466] [Citation(s) in RCA: 33] [Impact Index Per Article: 6.6] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/14/2018] [Revised: 04/08/2019] [Accepted: 05/08/2019] [Indexed: 12/22/2022] Open
Abstract
Doxorubicin (DOX) is considered as the major culprit in chemotherapy‐induced cardiotoxicity. Yellow wine polyphenolic compounds (YWPC), which are full of polyphenols, have beneficial effects on cardiovascular disease. However, their role in DOX‐induced cardiotoxicity is poorly understood. Due to their antioxidant property, we have been suggested that YWPC could prevent DOX‐induced cardiotoxicity. In this study, we found that YWPC treatment (30 mg/kg/day) significantly improved DOX‐induced cardiac hypertrophy and cardiac dysfunction. YWPC alleviated DOX‐induced increase in oxidative stress levels, reduction in endogenous antioxidant enzyme activities and inflammatory response. Besides, administration of YWPC could prevent DOX‐induced mitochondria‐mediated cardiac apoptosis. Mechanistically, we found that YWPC attenuated DOX‐induced reactive oxygen species (ROS) and down‐regulation of transforming growth factor beta 1 (TGF‐β1)/smad3 pathway by promoting nuclear factor (erythroid‐derived 2)‐like 2 (Nrf2) nucleus translocation in cultured H9C2 cardiomyocytes. Additionally, YWPC against DOX‐induced TGF‐β1 up‐regulation were abolished by Nrf2 knockdown. Further studies revealed that YWPC could inhibit DOX‐induced cardiac fibrosis through inhibiting TGF‐β/smad3‐mediated ECM synthesis. Collectively, our results revealed that YWPC might be effective in mitigating DOX‐induced cardiotoxicity by Nrf2‐dependent down‐regulation of the TGF‐β/smad3 pathway.
