Abstract
Cardiac aging is defined as mitochondrial dysfunction of the heart. Vitamin D (VitD) is an effective agent in ameliorating cardiovascular disorders. In this study, we indicated the protective effects of VitD against cardiac aging. Male Wistar rats were randomly divided into four groups: control (CONT), D-galactose (D-GAL): aged rats induced by D-GAL, D-GAL + Ethanol: aged rats treated with ethanol, and D-GAL + VitD aged rats treated with VitD. Aging was induced by D-GAL at 150 mg/kg via intraperitoneal injection for 8 weeks. Aged rats were treated with VitD (D-GAL + VitD) by gavage for 8 weeks. The serum samples were used to evaluate biochemical factors, and heart tissues were assessed to determine oxidative stress and gene expression. The D-GAL rats exhibited cardiac hypertrophy, which was associated with decreased antioxidant enzyme activity, enhanced oxidative marker, and changes in the expression of mitochondrial genes in comparison with the control rats. Co-treatment with VitD ameliorated all these changes. In conclusion, VitD could protect the heart against D-GAL-induced aging via enhancing antioxidant effects, and the expression of mitochondrial genes.

Abstract
Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD) coenzymes are carriers of high energy electrons in metabolism and also play critical roles in numerous signaling pathways. NAD metabolism is decreased in various cardiovascular diseases. Importantly, stimulation of NAD biosynthesis protects against heart disease under different pathological conditions. In this review, we describe pathways for both generation and catabolism of NAD coenzymes and the respective changes of these pathways in the heart under cardiac diseases, including pressure overload, myocardial infarction, cardiometabolic disease, cancer treatment cardiotoxicity, and heart failure. We next provide an update on the strategies and treatments to increase NAD levels, such as supplementation of NAD precursors, in the heart that prevent or reverse cardiomyopathy. We also introduce the approaches to manipulate NAD consumption enzymes to ameliorate cardiac disease. Finally, we discuss the mechanisms associated with improvements in cardiac function by NAD coenzymes, differentiating between mitochondria-dependent effects and those independent of mitochondrial metabolism.

Abstract
Doxorubicin (DOX) is one of the most effective chemotherapeutic agents. However, the nonselective effect leads to serious cardiotoxicity risk in clinical use. Curcumin is a well-known dietary polyphenol that showed a protective effect against the cardiotoxic effect of DOX. This study aimed to assess the role of curcumin in protection against DOX-induced cardiotoxicity. Potential compound and disease targets were obtained from relevant databases, and common targets were screened. Protein-protein interaction (PPI) was used to predict the core targets. Gene ontology (GO) bioprocess analysis and Kyoto encyclopedia of genes and genome enrichment analysis enriched the possible biological processes (BP), cellular components, molecular function, and signaling pathways involved. Finally, the binding of curcumin to target proteins was evaluated through molecular docking. The docking score verified the reliability of the prediction results. In total, 205 curcumin and 700 disease targets were identified. A topological analysis of the PPI network revealed 10 core targets including TP53, tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF), AKT1, vascular endothelial growth factor A (VEGFA), prostaglandin-endoperoxide synthase 2 (PTGS2), signal transducer and activator of the transcription 3 (STAT3), HIF1A, MYC, epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR), and CASP3 (Caspase-3). Furthermore, the enrichment analyses indicated that the effects of curcumin were mediated by genes related to oxidation, inflammation, toxification, cell proliferation, migration, apoptosis, wounding, metabolism, proteolysis, and the signaling pathway of calcium (Ca2+). Molecular docking showed that curcumin could bind with the target proteins with strong molecular force, exhibiting good docking activity. Curcumin has a multi-cardioprotective effect by modulating the core targets' expression in DOX-induced cardiotoxicity. This study elucidated the key target proteins and provided a theoretical basis for further exploring curcumin in the prevention and treatment of DOX-induced cardiotoxicity.

Abstract
Dose-limiting toxicities (DLTs) are severe adverse effects that define the maximum tolerated dose of a cancer drug. In addition to the specific mechanisms of each drug, common contributing factors include inflammation, apoptosis, ion imbalances, and tissue-specific enzyme deficiencies. Among various DLTs are bleomycin-induced pulmonary fibrosis, doxorubicin-induced cardiomyopathy, cisplatin-induced nephrotoxicity, methotrexate-induced hepatotoxicity, vincristine-induced neurotoxicity, paclitaxel-induced peripheral neuropathy, and irinotecan, which elicits severe diarrhea. Currently, specific treatments beyond dose reduction are lacking for most toxicities. Further research on cellular and molecular pathways is imperative to improve their management. This review synthesizes preclinical and clinical data on the pharmacological mechanisms underlying DLTs and explores possible treatment approaches. A comprehensive perspective reveals knowledge gaps and emphasizes the need for future studies to develop more targeted strategies for mitigating these dose-dependent adverse effects. This could allow the safer administration of fully efficacious doses to maximize patient survival.

Abstract
Doxorubicin is a widely used anticancer drug in clinical practice for the treatment of various human tumors. However, its administration is associated with cardiotoxicity. Administration of doxorubicin with low side effects for cancer treatment and prevention are, accordingly, urgently required. The human body harbors various endogenous metal ions that exert substantial influences. Consequently, extensive research has been conducted over several decades to investigate the potential of targeting endogenous metal ions to mitigate doxorubicin's side effects and impede tumor progression. In recent years, there has been a growing body of research indicating the potential efficacy of metal ion-associated therapeutic strategies in inhibiting doxorubicin-induced cardiotoxicity (DIC). These strategies offer a combination of favorable safety profiles and potential clinical utility. Alterations in intracellular levels of metal ions have been found to either facilitate or mitigate the development of DIC. For instance, ferroptosis, a cellular death mechanism, and metal ions such as copper, zinc, and calcium have been identified as significant contributors to DIC. This understanding can contribute to advancements in cancer treatment and provide valuable insights for mitigating the cardiotoxic effects of other therapeutic drugs. Furthermore, potential therapeutic strategies have been investigated to alleviate DIC in clinical settings. The ultimate goal is to improve the efficacy and safety of Dox and offer valuable insights for future research in this field.

Abstract
Anthracyclic (ANT) drugs are widely used for patients with malignant tumors and can markedly prolong the disease-free survival rate of patients. As its clinical application becomes more common, information regarding serious cardiotoxicity as a result of ANT treatment is becoming understood. However, to the best of our knowledge, delayed-onset cardiotoxicity due to ANT use has not been studied sufficiently. The present report describes a 36-year-old male patient who presented to Guiqian International General Hospital (Guiyang, China) with a complaint of dyspnea in the last 10 days. Substantially elevated B-type natriuretic peptide levels and echocardiography showing enlargement of the entire heart, of the patient suggested that severe heart failure was the cause of his symptoms. However, the cause of this potential heart failure was not apparent until the patient was questioned about his cancer treatment history. Following consultation to evaluate the assessment of end-stage heart failure, currently only anti-heart failure treatment and symptomatic treatment can be provided. The present report describes this case and reviews the existing literature to provide a basis for the diagnosis and treatment of patients with delayed-onset heart failure following ANT treatment.

Abstract
Doxorubicin (DOX) is a highly effective chemotherapeutic drug, but its long-term use can cause cardiotoxicity and drug resistance. Accumulating evidence demonstrates that p53 is directly involved in DOX toxicity and resistance. One of the primary causes for DOX resistance is the mutation or inactivation of p53. Moreover, because the non-specific activation of p53 caused by DOX can kill non-cancerous cells, p53 is a popular target for reducing toxicity. However, the reduction in DOX-induced cardiotoxicity (DIC) via p53 suppression is often at odds with the antitumor advantages of p53 reactivation. Therefore, in order to increase the effectiveness of DOX, there is an urgent need to explore p53-targeted anticancer strategies owing to the complex regulatory network and polymorphisms of the p53 gene. In this review, we summarize the role and potential mechanisms of p53 in DIC and resistance. Furthermore, we focus on the advances and challenges in applying dietary nutrients, natural products, and other pharmacological strategies to overcome DOX-induced chemoresistance and cardiotoxicity. Lastly, we present potential therapeutic strategies to address key issues in order to provide new ideas for increasing the clinical use of DOX and improving its anticancer benefits.

Abstract
Diclofenac is a widely prescribed anti-inflammatory drug having cardiovascular complications as one of the main liabilities that restrict its therapeutic use. We aimed to investigate for any role of rutin against diclofenac-induced cardiac injury with underlying mechanisms as there is no such precedent to date. The effect of rutin (10 and 20 mg/kg) was evaluated upon concomitant oral administration for fifteen days with diclofenac (10 mg/kg). Rutin significantly attenuated diclofenac-induced alterations in the serum cardiac markers (LDH, CK-MB, and SGOT), serum cytokine levels (TNF-α and IL-6), and oxidative stress markers (MDA and GSH) in the cardiac tissue. Histopathological examination and Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) findings displayed a marked effect of rutin to prevent diclofenac-mediated cardiac injury. Altered protein expression of myocardial injury markers (cTnT, FABP3, and ANP) and apoptotic markers (Bcl-2 and Caspase-3) in the cardiac tissue upon diclofenac treatment was considerably shielded by rutin treatment. MYL3 was unaffected due to diclofenac or rutin treatment. Rutin also significantly improved diclofenac-induced gastrointestinal and hepatic alterations based on the observed ameliorative effects in key mediators, oxidative stress markers, histopathology examination, and SEM findings. Overall results suggest that rutin can protect the diclofenac-induced cardiac injury by lowering oxidative stress, inhibiting inflammation, and reducing apoptosis. Further research work directs toward the development of phytotherapeutics for cardioprotection.

Abstract
Doxorubicin (DOX)-related cardiotoxicity has been recognized as a serious complication of cancer chemotherapy. Effective targeted strategies for myocardial protection in addition to DOX treatment are urgently needed. The purpose of this paper was to determine the therapeutic effect of berberine (Ber) on DOX-triggered cardiomyopathy and explore the underlying mechanism. Our data showed that Ber markedly prevented cardiac diastolic dysfunction and fibrosis, reduced cardiac malondialdehyde (MDA) level and increased antioxidant superoxide dismutase (SOD) activity in DOX-treated rats. Moreover, Ber effectively rescued the DOX-induced production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and MDA, mitochondrial morphological damage and membrane potential loss in neonatal rat cardiac myocytes and fibroblasts. This effect was mediated by increases in the nuclear accumulation of nuclear erythroid factor 2-related factor 2 (Nrf2) and levels of heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1) and mitochondrial transcription factor A (TFAM). We also found that Ber suppressed the differentiation of cardiac fibroblasts (CFs) into myofibroblasts, as indicated by decreased expression of α-smooth muscle actin (α-SMA), collagen I and collagen III in DOX-treated CFs. Pretreatment with Ber inhibited ROS and MDA production and increased SOD activity and the mitochondrial membrane potential in DOX-challenged CFs. Further investigation indicated that the Nrf2 inhibitor trigonelline reversed the protective effect of Ber on both cardiomyocytes and CFs after DOX stimulation. Taken together, these findings demonstrated that Ber effectively alleviated DOX-induced oxidative stress and mitochondrial damage by activating the Nrf2-mediated pathway, thereby leading to the prevention of myocardial injury and fibrosis. The current study suggests that Ber is a potential therapeutic agent for DOX-induced cardiotoxicity that exerts its effects by activating Nrf2.

Abstract
Cardiac injury is the main dose-limiting factor for doxorubicin (Dox) use as an anticancer agent. The cardiotoxicity of Dox is linked to a number of complex mechanisms, including oxidative stress, mitochondrial damage, intracellular calcium dysregulation, and apoptosis/necrosis. This study investigates several aspects of Dox-induced cardiotoxicity. We investigated the effects of pre-treatment with rosuvastatin and telmisartan, which were used in different doses alone or combination, on the acute cardiotoxicity induced by Dox. The results of this study showed that Dox induced significant pathological changes in the cardiomyocytes. Adverse effects were observed on several biomarkers related to cardiac damage like cardiac troponin I (cTnI) and lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), oxidative stress like malondialdehyde (MDA), an inflammatory process like interleukin-17 (IL-17) with important histopathological changes. We illusterate the cardio-protective contribution of the two pharmacological agents against the acute cardiotoxic effects of Dox. This is manifested by the significant improvement in the biomarker levels and the associated histological damage. This study points out the beneficial use of both rosuvastatin and telmisartan alone or in combination as a clinical option for decreasing the acute toxicity of Dox on cardiomyocytes.

Abstract
Ca2+ overload has attracted an increasing attention due to its benefit of precise cancer therapy, but its efficacy is limited by the strong Ca2+ excretion of cancer cells. Moreover, monotherapy of Ca2+ overload usually fails to treat tumors satisfactorily. Herein, we develop a multifunctional nanosystem that could induce Ca2+ overload by multipathway and simultaneously produce chemotherapy for synergistic tumor therapy. The nanosystem (CaMSN@CUR) is prepared by synthesizing a Ca-doped mesoporous silica nanoparticle (CaMSN) followed by loading the anticancer drug curcumin (CUR). CaMSN serves as the basis Ca2+ generator to induce Ca2+ overload directly in the intracellular environment by acid-triggered Ca2+ release, while CUR could not only exhibit chemotherapy but also facilitate Ca2+ release from the endoplasmic reticulum to the cytoplasm and inhibit Ca2+ efflux out of cells to further enhance Ca2+ overload. The in vitro and in vivo results show that CaMSN@CUR could exhibit a remarkable cytotoxicity against 4T1 cells and significantly inhibit tumor growth in 4T1 tumor-bearing mice via the synergy of Ca2+ overload and CUR-mediated chemotherapy. It is expected that the designed CaMSN@CUR has a great potential for effective tumor therapy.

Abstract
PURPOSE The primary objective of this study was to investigate the potential protective effect of Vitamin D (Vit D) on DOX induced cardio toxicity (DIC) in early breast cancer patients receiving adjuvant DOX based chemotherapy (AC). The secondary objective was to investigate the anti-inflammatory effect of Vit D by measuring serum IL-6 and its correlation with cardio toxicity. METHODS This study was carried out on 150 newly diagnosed women with breast cancer who were planned to receive four cycles of adjuvant AC chemotherapy regimen (60 mg/m2 DOX and 600 mg/m2 cyclophosphamide) every 21 days. Study patients were randomized 1:1 into a control group treated with AC and a Vit D group treated with AC plus 0.5 µg of Vit D (Bon One 0.5 µg) orally once daily during the whole treatment course. The cardio protective effect of Vit D was assessed by measuring serum levels of Lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), cardiac troponin T (cTnT), and anti-inflammatory Interleukin 6 (IL-6) at baseline, and after 4 cycles of AC in all study patients. RESULTS Vit D supplementation in Vit D group patients was associated with a significant decrease (P < 0.001) in serum levels of LDH, cTnT, and IL-6 compared to the control group . CONCLUSION The present work provides a promising clinical evidence to support the cardio protective effects of Vit D against DIC through attenuating the evoked pro-inflammatory cytokines induced by DOX.

Abstract
Cardiovascular diseases are the leading cause of death worldwide. Aging and/or metabolic stress directly impact the cardiovascular system. Over the last few years, the contributions of altered nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD+) metabolism to aging and other pathological conditions closely related to cardiovascular diseases have been intensively investigated. NAD+ bioavailability decreases with age and cardiometabolic conditions in several mammalian tissues. Compelling data suggest that declining tissue NAD+ is commonly related to mitochondrial dysfunction and might be considered as a therapeutic target. Thus, NAD+ replenishment by either genetic or natural dietary NAD+-increasing strategies has been recently demonstrated to be effective for improving the pathophysiology of cardiac and vascular health in different experimental models, as well as human health, to a lesser extent. Here, we review and discuss recent experimental evidence illustrating that increasing NAD+ bioavailability, particularly by the use of natural NAD+ precursors, may offer hope for new therapeutic strategies to prevent and treat cardiovascular diseases.
