Dai S, Chen Y, Fan X, Han J, Zhong L, Zhang Y, Liu Q, Lin J, Huang W, Su L, Huang Z, Ye B. Emodin attenuates cardiomyocyte pyroptosis in doxorubicin-induced cardiotoxicity by directly binding to GSDMD. PHYTOMEDICINE : INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF PHYTOTHERAPY AND PHYTOPHARMACOLOGY 2023; 121:155105. [PMID: 37801893 DOI: 10.1016/j.phymed.2023.155105] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/06/2023] [Revised: 08/15/2023] [Accepted: 09/17/2023] [Indexed: 10/08/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Doxorubicin (Dox), which is an anticancer drug, has significant cardiac toxicity and side effects. Pyroptosis occurs during Dox-induced cardiotoxicity (DIC), and drug inhibition of this process is one therapeutic approach for treating DIC. Previous studies have indicated that emodin can reduce pyroptosis. However, the role of emodin in DIC and its molecular targets remain unknown. HYPOTHESIS/PURPOSE We aimed to clarify the protective role of emodin in mitigating DIC, as well as the mechanisms underlying this effect. METHODS The model of DIC was established via the intraperitoneal administration of Dox at a dosage of 5 mg/kg per week for a span of 4 weeks. Emodin at two different doses (10 and 20 mg/kg) or a vehicle was intragastrically administered to the mice once per day throughout the Dox treatment period. Cardiac function, myocardial injury markers, pathological morphology of the heart, level of pyroptosis and mitochondrial function were assessed. Protein microarray, biolayer interferometry and pull-down assays were used to confirm the target of emodin. Moreover, GSDMD-overexpressing plasmids were transfected into GSDMD-/- mice and HL-1 cells to further verify whether emodin suppressed GSDMD activation. RESULTS Emodin therapy markedly enhanced cardiac function and reduced cardiomyocyte pyroptosis in mice induced by Dox. Mechanistically, emodin binds to GSDMD and inhibits the activation of GSDMD by targeting the Trp415 and Leu290 residues. Moreover, emodin was able to mitigate Dox-induced cardiac dysfunction and myocardial injury in GSDMD-/- mice overexpressing GSDMD, as shown by increased EF and FS, decreased serum levels of CK-MB, LDH and IL-1β and mitigated cell death and cell morphological disorder. Additionally, emodin treatment significantly reduced GSDMD-N expression and plasma membrane disruption in HL-1 cells overexpressing GSDMD induced by Dox. In addition, emodin reduced mitochondrial damage by alleviating Dox-induced GSDMD perforation in the mitochondrial membrane. CONCLUSION Emodin has the potential to attenuate DIC by directly binding to GSDMD to inhibit pyroptosis. Emodin may become a promising drug for prevention and treatment of DIC.

Chronic health conditions among long-term survivors of adolescent and young adult (AYA) cancer: A comparison of outcomes in Israel and the United States. Cancer 2023; 129:1763-1776. [PMID: 36929478 DOI: 10.1002/cncr.34740] [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: 11/09/2022] [Revised: 01/17/2023] [Accepted: 02/13/2023] [Indexed: 03/18/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND There is a paucity of information on health outcomes of adolescent and young adult (AYA) cancer survivors living outside North America and Europe. This study compared outcomes in AYA cancer survivors in Israel with individuals without cancer and similar demographics and access to health care, and to AYA cancer survivors living in the United States. METHODS This study included 12,674 2-year survivors of AYA (aged 15-39 years) cancer diagnosed between 2000 and 2018 at Clalit Health Services (CHS) in Israel. CHS participants without cancer (N = 50,696) were matched 4:1 to survivors on age, sex, ethnicity, and membership duration. Poisson regression was used to determine incidence rate ratios (IRRs) for chronic conditions. The US Kaiser Permanente Southern California AYA cohort (N = 6778) was used to estimate weighted (age, sex) standardized incidence ratios (SIRs) for CHS survivors. RESULTS CHS AYA cancer survivors were more likely to have any chronic condition (IRR, 1.6 95% CI, 1.5-1.7), compared with participants without cancer. Survivors had an increased risk across nearly all conditions examined, with especially elevated risks for osteoporosis (IRR, 4.7; 95% CI, 4.1-5.5) and cardiomyopathy (IRR, 4.2 95% CI, 3.4-5.3). Compared with the Kaiser Permanente Southern California cohort, CHS survivors had an overall lower (SIR, 0.68; 95% CI, 0.65-0.72) incidence of developing any health condition, with noticeably lower incidence of hyperlipidemia (SIR, 0.7; 95% CI, 0.64-0.75). CONCLUSION AYA cancer survivors in Israel are at increased risk for developing chronic conditions compared with individuals without cancer, but the overall incidence was lower than in US survivors. These findings may allow for refinement of surveillance recommendations for AYA survivors, taking into consideration regional differences in sociodemographic characteristics and cancer care. PLAIN LANGUAGE SUMMARY The burden of chronic conditions was consistently greater in Israeli adolescent and young adult cancer survivors compared with individuals without cancer, with clear differences in risk of specific conditions by cancer diagnosis. However, the overall incidence of chronic conditions in Israeli survivors was generally lower than in US survivors.

[PMID: 35810145 DOI: 10.1016/j.clml.2022.06.003] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/18/2022] [Revised: 05/28/2022] [Accepted: 06/04/2022] [Indexed: 06/15/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Treatment of Diffuse Large B-Cell Lymphoma (DLBCL) in the elderly aims to achieve disease remission while minimizing treatment-related toxicities. The use of anthracycline in the elderly is associated with increased risk of cardiotoxicity and myelosuppression. Non-anthracycline-based regimens have commonly been used in patients with cardiac contraindications or anticipated severe toxicities to anthracyclines. METHODS We retrospectively analyzed the treatment outcomes of patients, aged 60 years and above, newly diagnosed with DLBCL at our center. Of a total of 218 patients, 71 patients received the R-CHOP regimen (Rituximab, Cyclophosphamide, Doxorubicin, Vincristine and Prednisolone) and 137 received R-CE (Etoposide) OP chemotherapy. The decision to substitute etoposide for doxorubicin was based on physician's discretion depending on the performance status, cardiac comorbidities and frailty as well as available resources for supportive care. RESULTS The 2-year progression-free survival (PFS) rate in the R-CHOP group was higher than that in the R-CEOP group (79.1% vs 49.6%, P-value < .001) and this superiority of R-CHOP was seen in both early and advanced disease. The incidence of febrile neutropenia and grade III/IV hematological toxicities was significantly higher in the R-CHOP group in the age group of 60 to 65 years'. ECOG PS at presentation, NCCN-IPI and the chemotherapy regimen were found to be significant factors for 2-year PFS rate by multivariate analysis. CONCLUSION Anthracycline-based regimen should be used in elderly fit patients without absolute cardiac contraindications wherever feasible with adequate access to supportive care.

Abstract
The objective of this review article is to discuss how cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) imaging measures left ventricular (LV) function, characterizes tissue, and identifies myocardial fibrosis in patients receiving anthracycline-based chemotherapy (Anth-bC). Specifically, CMR can measure LV ejection fraction (EF), volumes at end-diastole (LVEDV), and end-systole (LVESV), LV strain, and LV mass. Tissue characterization is accomplished through T1/T2-mapping, late gadolinium enhancement (LGE), and CMR perfusion imaging. Despite CMR’s accuracy and efficiency in collecting data about the myocardium, there are challenges that persist while monitoring a cardio-oncology patient undergoing Anth-bC, such as the presence of other cardiovascular risk factors and utility controversies. Furthermore, CMR can be a useful adjunct during cardiopulmonary exercise testing to pinpoint cardiovascular mediated exercise limitations, as well as to assess myocardial microcirculatory damage in patients undergoing Anth-bC.

Abstract
Aggressive lymphomas are curable with doxorubicin-based chemotherapy. In patients presenting with elevated serum bilirubin, doxorubicin is commonly dose reduced or delayed based on limited pharmacokinetic data. We evaluated plasma pharmacokinetics of doxorubicin and its metabolite doxorubicinol as well as toxicity in 59 patients with normal bilirubin levels and 10 patients with elevated bilirubin levels. Patients received full-dose EPOCH +/-rituximab. Median (range) age was 51 (18-75) years. Patients with elevated bilirubin levels had higher international prognostic index and poorer performance status. Although median doxorubicin clearance was lower and median plasma doxorubicin and doxorubicinol concentrations were higher in patients with elevated bilirubin levels, values were within the concentration range observed in patients with normal levels. Rates of febrile neutropenia were similar between groups, but there was greater grade 4 neutropenia and thrombocytopenia during the first but not subsequent treatment cycles in patients with elevated bilirubin. More grade 3/4 gastrointestinal and neurotoxicity occurred in patients with elevated bilirubin during the first but not subsequent cycles. Although toxicity was greater on cycle 1, the adverse effects were managed safely. These results show that empiric dose reductions of continuous infusion doxorubicin may not be necessary in patients with elevated bilirubin levels. This trial was registered at www.clinicaltrials.gov as #NCT00001337, #NCT00069238, and #NCT00005780.

Abstract
Introduction Extranodal lymphomas are commonly encountered in the gastrointestinal tract but lymphomas of colon and rectum are rare. Non-Hodgkin lymphoma is the most common type of colonic lymphoma and represents less than 0.5% of colorectal neoplasms. Chemotherapeutical agents are gateway to disease remission and sometimes cure in most patients but surgery may be necessary in emergent situations. Case presentation A 77-year-old male patient presented with abdominal discomfort, constipation, and obstructive defecation symptoms. Radiological imaging revealed a mass in the sigmoid colon extending towards the rectum. Colonoscopy was performed and biopsy of a nearly 10 cm ulcerovegetative lesion was obtained. Histological examination following biopsy revealed it to be a diffuse large B-cell lymphoma of the sigmoid colon. There was no indication for surgery and the patient was referred to medical oncology clinic for chemotherapy treatment. Discussion Non-Hodgkin lymphoma is a lymphoproliferative disorder with the diffuse large B cell lymphoma (DLBCL) being the most common subtype. The DLBCL subtype is rarely observed in the colon and rectum. Chromosomal abnormalities are involved in the pathophysiology and gene rearrangements lead to adjustments in lymphocyte function and differentiation. Conclusion In this case report, we present a rare presentation of a Non-Hodgkin lymphoma presenting in the sigmoid colon. The disease can present with nonspecific symptoms and various imaging modalities along with histopathological evaluation is necessary for the correct subtyping of lymphoma. Chemoradiotherapy is key for treatment, and surgery is usually reserved for cases of obstruction, perforation, or bleeding. Non-Hodgkin lymphoma is the most common type of colonic lymphoma. Extranodal lymphomas of the colon and rectum are rare. Histopathological evaluation is important for subtyping of lymphoma. Chemotherapy is the main form of treatment but sometimes surgery is required.

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

Abstract
Treatment decisions for aggressive non-Hodgkin lymphoma in elderly and frail patients still remain challenging. The heterogeneity of elderly patients consists of various physical and psychological states, coexisting comorbidities as well as frailty and socioeconomic status. Comprehensive geriatric assessment in elderly patients is efficient and necessary for risk stratification to identify fit patients without cardiac comorbidities who can tolerate curative treatment with rituximab, cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin, vincristine, prednisone (R-CHOP) and those who are not suitable for a standard regimen. If anthracycline-containing therapy is not feasible, alternative treatment options have to be carefully evaluated and individual risk factors have to be considered.

Abstract
Background Diffuse large B cell lymphoma (DLBCL) contains heterogeneous subtypes with various molecular dysregulation at the gene, protein and microRNA levels. Compared with the GCB subtype, the non-germinal center B-like (non-GCB)/activated B cell-like (ABC) subtype exhibits frequent progression despite standard immunochemotherapy. We aimed to investigate the effects of miR-197 on the progression and chemosensitivity of DLBCL with respect to the GCB and non-GCB/ABC subtypes. Methods To screen distinctively expressed microRNAs, microRNA expression patterns were analyzed in 10 DLBCL cases by microarray chip assays. Using quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR), associations between miR-197 expression levels and clinicopathologic variables were investigated in 51 DLBCL tissue samples. The effects of miR-197 on doxorubicin chemosensitivity were investigated using the OCI-Ly1 and SUDHL9 cell lines. Results MicroRNA expression profiling by hierarchical clustering revealed that miR-197 was one of the distinctively expressed microRNAs in DLBCL. Quantitative analysis using qRT-PCR revealed that miR-197 levels were not correlated with clinicopathologic variables, including the international prognostic index, but low miR-197 levels were significantly associated with lymphoma progression defined by refractoriness, relapse or death in the rituximab plus cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin, vincristine, and prednisone (R-CHOP)-treated subgroup (n = 43; p = 0.004). Among the three molecular groups, i.e., the GCB, non-GCB/miR-197low and non-GCB/miR-197high groups, progression was most frequently observed in the non-GCB/miR-197low group in the full cohort (p = 0.013) and the R-CHOP cohort (p = 0.008). In survival analysis, low miR-197 levels were independently predictive of shorter progression-free survival in the R-CHOP cohort (p = 0.031; HR = 27.9) and the non-GCB subgroup (p = 0.037; HR = 21.5) but not in the GCB subgroup. Using SUDHL9 (ABC type) and OCI-Ly1 (GCB type) cells, the effects of doxorubicin on reducing cell viability were enhanced by miR-197 transfection. In apoptosis assays, miR-197 transfection enhanced doxorubicin-induced apoptosis in SUDHL9 cells but not in OCI-Ly1 cells, suggesting a chemosensitizing effect of miR-197 in ABC DLBCL. Conclusions These results suggest the role of miR-197 as a biomarker with potential therapeutic implications.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Anthracyclines (AC) are still undeniable drugs in lymphoma treatment, despite occasionally causing cardiotoxicity. Liposomal AC may reduce cardiotoxicity while retaining clinical efficacy; also, biomarker monitoring during chemotherapy allows early detection of cardiac damage, enabling strategies to prevent left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) deterioration. MATERIALS AND METHODS We conducted a prospective observational trial in a real-life population of lymphoma patients, combining advanced echocardiography and biomarkers (Troponin I [TnI]) for early detection of cardiotoxicity; we applied a prespecified policy to minimize cardiotoxicity, selecting patients with higher baseline risk to replace doxorubicin with nonpegylated liposomal doxorubicin (NPLD) and starting cardioprotective treatment when subclinical cardiotoxicity was detected. RESULTS Ninety-nine patients received ≥1 cycle of chemotherapy (39 with NPLD): 38 (NPLD = 34) were older than 65 years. At baseline, the NPLD subgroup had more cardiovascular risk factors and comorbidities than the doxorubicin subgroup. After treatment, echocardiographic parameters did not worsen in the NPLD subgroup; significant LVEF reduction occurred in two patients treated with doxorubicin. Over treatment course, TnI rises increased linearly in the doxorubicin subgroup but modestly in the NPLD subgroup. At doxorubicin doses >200 mg/m2 the difference was statistically significant, with more TnI rises in the doxorubicin subgroup. NPLD-treated patients did not experience higher rates of grade 3-4 adverse events. Within the diffuse large B-cell lymphomas category, we observed similar rates of complete and overall responses between doxorubicin- and NPLD-treated patients. CONCLUSION A comprehensive strategy to prevent, detect, and treat cardiotoxicity allows an optimal management of the lymphoma with low incidence of cardiac complications. The Oncologist 2017;22:422-431 IMPLICATIONS FOR PRACTICE: Despite the recent advances of targeted therapy in cancer, old cytotoxic drugs such as anthracyclines (AC) still play a fundamental role in the treatment of many lymphoma patients. We tested and validated in a real-life setting a personalized approach to prevent, detect, and treat AC-induced cardiotoxicity; biomarker monitoring was accomplished by Troponin I measurements before and after chemotherapy infusions, allowing detection of early subclinical cardiotoxicity, which was preemptively treated with cardio-protectants (beta blockers and angiotensin-converting-enzyme inhibitors). A telemedicine system allowed interdisciplinary management of the patients with an expert cardiologist. Furthermore, tailored use of liposomal AC following a prespecified policy appeared to prevent the excess cardiotoxicity expected in high-risk patients.

Abstract
Anthracyclines, such as doxorubicin, are well-established, highly efficient anti-neoplastic drugs used for treatment of a variety of cancers, including solid tumors, leukemia, lymphomas, and breast cancer. The successful use of doxorubicin has, however, been hampered by severe cardiotoxic side-effects. In order to prevent or reverse negative side-effects of doxorubicin, it is important to find early biomarkers of heart injury and drug-induced cardiotoxicity. The high stability under extreme conditions, presence in various body fluids, and tissue-specificity, makes microRNAs very suitable as clinical biomarkers. The present study aimed towards evaluating the early and late effects of doxorubicin on the microRNA expression in cardiomyocytes derived from human pluripotent stem cells. We report on several microRNAs, including miR-34a, miR-34b, miR-187, miR-199a, miR-199b, miR-146a, miR-15b, miR-130a, miR-214, and miR-424, that are differentially expressed upon, and after, treatment with doxorubicin. Investigation of the biological relevance of the identified microRNAs revealed connections to cardiomyocyte function and cardiotoxicity, thus supporting the findings of these microRNAs as potential biomarkers for drug-induced cardiotoxicity.

Abstract
The objective of this study was to investigate the anticancer efficacy of dimercaptosuccinic acid-modified iron oxide magnetic nanoparticles coloaded with anti-CD22 antibodies and doxorubicin (anti-CD22-MNPs-DOX) on non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma cells. The physical properties of anti-CD22-MNPs-DOX were studied and its antitumor effect on Raji cells in vitro was evaluated using the Cell Counting Kit-8 assay. Furthermore, cell apoptosis and intracellular accumulation of doxorubicin were determined by flow cytometry. The results revealed that anti-CD22-MNPs-DOX inhibited the proliferation of Raji cells, significantly increased the uptake of doxorubicin, and induced apoptosis. Therefore, it was concluded that a coloaded antibody and chemotherapeutic drug with magnetic nanoparticles might be an efficient targeted treatment strategy for non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma.

CLINICAL LYMPHOMA MYELOMA & LEUKEMIA 2015; 15:458-63. [PMID: 25899891 DOI: 10.1016/j.clml.2015.03.008] [Citation(s) in RCA: 13] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.4] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/05/2014] [Revised: 03/12/2015] [Accepted: 03/18/2015] [Indexed: 11/16/2022]
Abstract
INTRODUCTION The aim of this retrospective analysis was to investigate the efficacy and safety of nonpegylated liposomal doxorubicin (NPLD) as part of R-CHOP (rituximab, cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin, vincristine and prednisone) in patients with diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) and preexisting cardiac diseases. PATIENTS AND METHODS Twenty-five patients were evaluated, median age was 73 (range 24-85) years, 23 patients received NPLD as part of their first-line therapy. Most patients suffered from more than 1 cardiac disease and in 14 patients left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) was reduced. One hundred nineteen cycles of NPLD were applied with a median of 5 (range 2-8) cycles per patient. Median dose per cycle was 95 mg (50 mg/m(2)). RESULTS The overall response rate was 96% (44% complete remission, 52% partial remission). After a median follow-up of 23 months, 4 patients had disease relapse. Seven patients died, translating to an estimated 3-year progression-free and overall survival of 66% and 73%, respectively. Reasons for death were progressive disease or infection in 2 patients each and cardiovascular disease in 3 patients. After chemotherapy, LVEF decreased significantly in 28% and improved in 12% of patients, whereas median LVEF did not change (51% vs. 50%). No higher frequencies of decreased LVEF was observed in the group of patients with preexisting reduced LVEF. Five adverse events induced therapy termination: 2 myocardial infarctions, 2 pneumonias, and 1 reduced condition. No hand-foot-syndrome was observed. CONCLUSION NPLD as a component of R-CHOP is an effective treatment in patients with DLBCL and preexisting cardiac diseases, whereas cardiac events were observed in 36% of patients in this cardiac high-risk group. However, these results need to be confirmed in a prospective randomized trial.

Abstract
Multiple-gated blood pool angiography (MUGA) using 99mTc-UltraTag (Mallinckrodt Inc., Maryland Heights, MO) labeled RBCs was performed in a patient with B-cell lymphoma for evaluation of the left ventricular ejection fraction before starting chemotherapy. Quantitative measurements from MUGA demonstrated normal left ventricular ejection fraction. However, cine images revealed delayed contraction of the left ventricle compared with that of the right, and phase contrast images demonstrated offset of the ventricles' phases. Evaluation with ECG showed delayed depolarization of the left ventricle consistent with LBBB. Phase imaging abnormalities detected on MUGA may be overlooked. Specific patterns of phase abnormalities may direct the physicians' attention toward yet unrecognized diagnoses.
