Abstract
BACKGROUND We aimed to compare the changes in blood metabolomes and cardiac parameters following doxorubicin treatment in HER2-positive and HER2-negative breast cancer patients. Additionally, the potential roles of changes in blood metabolomes as severity and prognostic markers of doxorubicin-induced cardiotoxicity were determined. METHODS HER2-positive (n = 37) and HER2-negative (n = 37) breast cancer patients were enrolled. Cardiac function assessment and blood collection were performed at baseline and 2 weeks after completion of doxorubicin treatment in all patients, as well as at three months after completion of doxorubicin treatment in HER2-negative breast cancer patients. Blood obtained at all three-time points was processed for measuring cardiac injury biomarkers. Blood obtained at baseline and 2 weeks after completion of doxorubicin treatment were also processed for measuring systemic oxidative stress and 85 metabolome levels. RESULTS Cardiac injury and systolic dysfunction 2 weeks after completion of doxorubicin treatment were comparable between these two groups of patients. However, only HER2-negative breast cancer patients exhibited increased systemic oxidative stress and cardiac autonomic dysfunction at this time point. Moreover, 33 and 29 blood metabolomes were altered at 2 weeks after completion of doxorubicin treatment in HER2-positive and HER2-negative breast cancer patients, respectively. The changes in most of these metabolomes were correlated with the changes in cardiac parameters, both at 2 weeks and 3 months after completion of doxorubicin treatment. CONCLUSIONS The changes in blood metabolomes following doxorubicin treatment were dependent on HER2 status, and these changes might serve as severity and prognostic markers of doxorubicin-induced cardiotoxicity. TRIAL REGISTRATION The study was conducted under ethical approval from the Institutional Review Board of the Faculty of Medicine, Chiang Mai University (Registration number: MED-2563-07001; Date: April 28, 2020). The study also complied with the Declaration of Helsinki.

Abstract
Galectin-3 and myeloperoxidase (MPO) are novel biomarkers in the field of cardio-oncology, but conflicting results have been reported. Hence, a meta-analysis was performed to assess the monitoring value of galectin-3 and MPO in cancer-therapy-related cardiotoxicity. PubMed, Cochrane, Web of Science, Embase, CNKI databases and ClinicalTrials.gov were queried. According to the predefined inclusion and exclusion criteria, eight studies with 1979 patients were included in this meta-analysis. The examination of the study's heterogeneity (I2), quality assessment and statistical analysis were performed by two reviewers. No significant differences in galectin-3 levels were noted before and after treatment (WMD = -0.10, 90% CI -6.06-5.85, I2: 99%), and a weaker relationship was observed between galectin-3 evaluations and cancer-therapy-related cardiotoxicity (HR = 1.39, 90% CI 0.97-1.98, I2: 0%). However, MPO levels were increased in patients post-treatment (SMD = 0.58, 90% CI 0.35-0.80, I2: 56%), and an increased risk of cardiotoxicity was associated with early pre-post MPO assessments (HR = 1.16, 90% CI 1.02-1.32, I2: 21%). Surprisingly, the MPO levels were a more effective indicator of the response to tumor treatment compared with the TnI (SMD = 2.46, 90% CI -0.26-5.19, I2: 96%) and NT-proBNP levels (SMD = 1.08, 90% CI -0.82-2.98, I2: 96%). In conclusion, our meta-analysis suggests that MPO may rep-resent a potential biomarker for the early detection of cardiotoxicity in current cardio-oncology practice, but the monitoring value of galectin-3 requires further study.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Mitoxantrone (MTX)- induced cardiotoxicity is a clinical concern that is limiting its use. The aim of this paper, therefore, was to investigate the subchronic administration of MTX plus nonspecific/specific inhibitors of CYP450/2E1, to assess the extent of oxidative-induced injury by measuring levels of oxidative cardiac and injury biomarkers in mice and to evaluate the effects of CYP2E1 on caspase 3 activity and nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor-2 (NRF-2). MATERIALS AND METHODS Mice (n = 32) were divided into four treatment groups of eight: control, MTX, MTX + 4-methlypyrazole (4MP) and MTX + disulfiram (Disf). After 6 weeks of treatments, blood and heart samples were collected. RESULTS Liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LCMS) analysis of MTX-treated plasma samples revealed several metabolites with different retention times. Cardiac antioxidant enzymes and creatine kinase (CK) levels were not significantly different among the groups. However, cardiac troponin and caspase 3 activity were significantly raised, with increased CYP2E1 expressions and reduced NRF-2 expression. Tissue damage was observed in all the treatment groups, including MTX, leading to the conclusion that MTX-induced cardiotoxicity was mediated by CYP2E1 activity, which initiated caspase 3 production, and decreased NRF-2 expression. CONCLUSIONS Therefore, agents that inhibit CPY2E1 expression might attenuate MTX-induced cardiotoxicity by increasing NRF-2 expression.

Abstract
Background Patients with breast cancer can be affected by cardiotoxic reactions through cancer therapies. Cardiac biomarkers, like NT-proBNP (N-terminal pro-B-type natriuretic peptide) and high-sensitivity cardiac troponin T, might have predictive value. Methods and Results Echocardiography, ECG, hemodynamic parameters, NT-proBNP and high-sensitivity cardiac troponin T were assessed in 853 patients with early-stage breast cancer randomized in the German Breast Group GeparOcto-GBG 84 phase III trial. Patients received neo-adjuvant dose-dense, dose-intensified epirubicin, paclitaxel, and cyclophosphamide (iddEPC group, n=424) or paclitaxel, non-pegylated doxorubicin, and in triple negative breast cancer, (paclitaxel, non-pegylated doxorubicin, carboplatin group, n=429) treatment for 18 weeks. Patients positive for human epidermal growth receptor 2 (n=354, 41.5%) received monoclonal antibodies on top of allocated therapy; 119 (12.9%) of all patients showed a cardiotoxic reaction during therapy (15 [1.8%] using a more strict definition). Presence of cardiotoxic reactions was irrespective of treatment allocation (P=0.31). Small but significant increases in NT-proBNP developed early in patients with a cardiotoxic reaction as compared with those without in whom NT-proBNP rose only towards the end of therapy (P=0.04). High-sensitivity cardiac troponin T rose early in both groups. Logistic regression showed that NT-proBNP (odds ratio [OR], 1.03; 95% CI, 1.008-1.055; P=0.01) and hemoglobin (OR, 1.31; 95% CI, 1.05-1.63; P=0.02) measured at 6 weeks after treatment initiation were significantly associated with cardiotoxic reactions. Conclusions NT-proBNP and hemoglobin are significantly associated with cardiotoxic reactions in patients with early-stage breast cancer undergoing dose-dense and dose-intensified chemotherapy, but high-sensitivity cardiac troponin T is not.

Abstract
Diabetes mellitus has developed into one of the debilitating diseases disturbing the health of many people living with cardiovascular diseases in modern times. The root of Ageratum conyzoides was investigated for its effects on alloxan-induced diabetic Wistar rats' cardiac tissues. Thirty-two (32) Wistar rats weighing between 180 and 190 g were randomly divided into four groups. The animals in groups B-D were induced with a single dose of 150 mg/kg body weight of alloxan (ALX) intraperitoneally. They were confirmed hyperglycemic after 72 hours of induction and then sustained in hyperglycemic condition for 2 weeks. Animals in groups C and D received AC intervention, as stated above, for four weeks. The body weight of the experimental animals and blood collection for glucose estimation were taken weekly for six weeks using appropriate instruments. Biochemical assays for lipid profile, antioxidant enzymatic, and nonenzymatic markers were carried out. Histopathological changes in the cardiac tissues were also studied. Administration of 150 mg/kg of ALX to experimental rats induced diabetes and significantly reduced the body weights, significantly (p < 0.05) increased the glucose level, triglyceride (TG), total cholesterol (TC), and low-density lipoprotein (LDL) levels, and decreased the levels of high-density lipoprotein (HDL) and antioxidant enzymatic markers such as catalase (CAT), superoxide dismutase (SOD), and glutathione peroxidase (GPx) while the antioxidant nonenzymatic marker such as malondialdehyde (MDA) level was significantly increased. By contrast, rats given the ethanolic extract root of A. conyzoides had significantly (p < 0.05) increased the body weight gain, whereas the glucose levels significantly (p < 0.05) improved in treated diabetic rats. This extract also improved the cardiovascular system of the diabetic rats by significantly decreasing TG and LDL levels, significantly (p < 0.05) increasing the HDL level, significantly reducing the cardiac contents of CAT, SOD, and GPx, and significantly (p < 0.05) decreasing MDA. Ethanolic extract root of A. conyzoides exhibited antihyperglycemic and antihyperlipidemic activities and mitigates damage to the heart from the ALX-induced myocardial toxicity associated with type-1 diabetes.

Abstract
Cardiotoxicity as an off-target effect of doxorubicin therapy is a major limiting factor for its clinical use as a choice cytotoxic agent. Seeds of Irvingia gabonensis have been reported to possess both nutritional and medicinal values which include antidiabetic, weight losing, antihyperlipidemic, and antioxidative effects. Protective effects of Irvingia gabonensis ethanol seed extract (IGESE) was investigated in doxorubicin (DOX)-mediated cardiotoxicity induced with single intraperitoneal injection of 15 mg/kg of DOX following the oral pretreatments of Wistar rats with 100-400 mg/kg/day of IGESE for 10 days, using serum cardiac enzyme markers (cardiac troponin I (cTI) and lactate dehydrogenase (LDH)), cardiac tissue oxidative stress markers (catalase (CAT), malonyldialdehyde (MDA), superoxide dismutase (SOD), glutathione-S-transferase (GST), glutathione peroxidase (GSH-Px), and reduced glutathione (GSH)), and cardiac histopathology endpoints. In addition, both qualitative and quantitative analyses to determine IGESE's secondary metabolites profile and its in vitro antioxidant activities were also conducted. Results revealed that serum cTnI and LDH were significantly elevated by the DOX treatment. Similarly, activities of tissue SOD, CAT, GST, and GSH levels were profoundly reduced, while GPx activity and MDA levels were profoundly increased by DOX treatment. These biochemical changes were associated with microthrombi formation in the DOX-treated cardiac tissues on histological examination. However, oral pretreatments with 100-400 mg/kg/day of IGESE dissolved in 5% DMSO in distilled water significantly attenuated increases in the serum cTnI and LDH, prevented significant alterations in the serum lipid profile and the tissue activities and levels of oxidative stress markers while improving cardiovascular disease risk indices and DOX-induced histopathological lesions. The in vitro antioxidant studies showed IGESE to have good antioxidant profile and contained 56 major secondary metabolites prominent among which are γ-sitosterol, Phytol, neophytadiene, stigmasterol, vitamin E, hexadecanoic acid and its ethyl ester, Phytyl palmitate, campesterol, lupeol, and squalene. Overall, both the in vitro and in vivo findings indicate that IGESE may be a promising prophylactic cardioprotective agent against DOX-induced cardiotoxicity, at least in part mediated via IGESE's antioxidant and free radical scavenging and antithrombotic mechanisms.

Abstract
Drug-induced cardiotoxicity is a major clinical problem; cardiotoxic drugs may induce both cardiac dysfunction and myocardial injury. Several recent studies reported that cardiac troponins measured with high-sensitivity methods (hs-cTn) can enable the early detection of myocardial injury related to chemotherapy or abuse of drugs that are potentially cardiotoxic. Several authors have some concerns about the standard definition of cardiotoxicity, in particular, regarding the early evaluation of chemotherapy cardiotoxicity in cancer patients. Several recent studies using the hs-cTn assay indicate that myocardial injury may precede by some months or years the diagnosis of heart failure (HF) based on the evaluation of left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF). Accordingly, hs-cTn assay should considered to be a reliable laboratory test for the early detection of asymptomatic or subclinical cardiotoxic damage in patients undergoing cancer chemotherapy. In accordance with the Fourth Universal Definition of Myocardial Infarction and also taking into account the recent experimental and clinical evidences, the definition of drug-cardiotoxicity should be updated considering the early evaluation of myocardial injury by means of hs-cTn assay. It is conceivable that the combined use of hs-cTn assay and cardiac imaging techniques for the evaluation of cardiotoxicity will significantly increase both diagnostic sensitivity and specificity, and also better prevent chemotherapy-related left ventricular (LV) dysfunction and other adverse cardiac events. However, large randomized clinical trials are needed to evaluate the cost/benefit ratio of standardized protocols for the early detection of cardiotoxicity using hs-cTn assay in patients receiving chemotherapy for malignant diseases.

Abstract
ETHNOPHARMACOLOGICAL RELEVANCE Arecae semen has been used as vermifuge and digestant in traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) for more than one thousand years. However, the toxicity effect of areca semen and its underlying mechanism are still unclear. THE AIM OF THE STUDY This study was aimed to investigate the toxicity of arecae semen and to explore its mechanisms by serum metabolomics. MATERIALS AND METHODS The male Wistar rats were divided into the control group and treated group (n = 6 in each group), which were given by gavage with distill water or arecae semen aqueous extract (ASAE) once a day for 30 days, respectively. Serum samples were collected from all the rats after treatment of 7-day, 14-day and 30-day for metabolomics analysis. Moreover, biochemistry analysis and histopathological examination were performed at the end of study. RESULTS The phenomenon of diarrhea, less physical activity, tremors and body curl up were observed in the treated group. Additionally, the body weights of treated rats were significantly decreased compared with control rats from the 8th day after oral administration. Except the level of creatinekinase (CK) in the treated group significantly increased compared with the control group, there were no differences on biochemistry parameters and histopathological test in the two groups. Combined with the methods of principal component analysis (PCA), orthogonal projection to latent structure-discrimination analysis (OPLS-DA) and available databases, the treated and control rats were clearly distinguished from each other and 19 metabolites were identified as the potential biomarkers in the arecae semen treated rats. The identified biomarkers indicated that there were perturbations of the phospholipid metabolism, amino acid metabolism and fat acid metabolism in the treated group. CONCLUSIONS This indicated that arecae semen possessed certain cardiotoxicity and inhibited the normal growth in Wistar male rats. In addition, the metabolomics approach is a useful tool to study the toxicity in TCM.

Abstract
AIM The chemotherapy protocol for acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) uses low doses of anthracyclines (AC), generally associated with subclinical cardiotoxicity. The aim of our study was to evaluate the serum biomarkers and echocardiography parameters in children with ALL treated with AC in order to determine the most useful element for early detection of cardiotoxicity. MATERIAL AND METHODS In this prospective study, troponin I (TnI) and heart-type fatty acid binding protein (HFABP) were assessed five times during the first year after the onset of ALL. Serial Tissue Doppler Imaging and conventional cardiac echography were performed by two pediatric cardiologists (intraclass correlation coefficient over 0.85 for all measurements) in three periods during the study protocol. RESULTS We evaluated 48 children with ALL. TnI increased during therapy, without returning to baseline values one year after diagnosis. HFABP did not show significant changes during the study protocol. Left ventricle outflow tract time-velocity integral and peak systolic septal mitral annulus velocity decreased during chemotherapy and returned to baseline levels at one year after diagnosis, while peak systolic tricuspid annulus velocity and excursion, maintained a descending tendency. Early filling transmitral flow velocity and E/A ratio were also transiently influenced by chemotherapy. CONCLUSIONS The study showed signs of transient cardiotoxicity in the left ventricle and diastolic parameters after chemotherapy, compared to right ventricle parameters which maintained low values even one year after diagnosis. TnI proved to be directly proportional to chemotherapy doses but HFABP was not useful in this setting.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To evaluate the cardio-protective effect of Ginkgo Biloba (GB) on doxorubicin induced-cardiotoxicity. METHODS The experimental study was conducted at the College of Medicine, Mustansiriya University, Baghdad, Iraq, from January to March, 2016, and comprised thirty Wistar Sprague male rats aged 3-4 months and weighing 200-400 g. The rats were divided into three equal groups (n=10); Group І (control): rats were treated with distilled water, Group ІІ (doxorubicin): rats were treated with distilled water and doxorubicin 20 mg/kg, and Group ІІІ (GB): rats were treated with GB and doxorubicin 20mg/kg. Serum malondialdehyde (MDA), glutathione reductase (GSH), lipid peroxidise (LPO), tumour necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α), cardiac troponin (cTnI), brain natriuretic peptide (BNP) and caspase-3 (Cas-3) were measured using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay kits. SPSS 20 was used to compare the effect GB with doxorubicin on the biomarkers of doxorubicin induced-cardiotoxicity. RESULTS Doxorubicin led to cardiotoxicity through elevation of cTnI, BNP, Cas-3 and LPO compared with controls (p<0.01).Also, MDA and TNF-α were elevated while; GSH was decreased significantly (p<0.01) compared with controls. Co-administration of GB with doxorubicin led to significant reduction in cTnI, Cas-3 sera levels with elevation in GSH serum level significantly (p<0.05). The effect of GB on BNP, LPO, MDA and TNF-α was insignificant (p>0.05) compared with the doxorubicin. CONCLUSIONS GB has significant cardio-protective effect through attenuation of oxidative stress during doxorubicin induced-cardiotoxicity in rats.

Abstract
Type 2 diabetes (T2D) is characterised by β-cell damage and hyperglycaemia. The lipophilic drug, probucol, has shown significant β-cell protective and potential antidiabetic effects, which were enhanced by hydrophilic bile acid incorporation using taurocholic acid and chenodeoxycholic acid. However, probucol has severe cardiotoxicity and a variable absorption profile, which limit its potential applications in T2D. Accordingly, this study aimed to design multiple formulations to optimise probucol oral delivery in T2D and test their effects on probucol absorption and accumulation in the heart. Adult male mice were given a high fat diet (HFD), and a week later, injected with a single dose of alloxan to accelerate T2D development, and once diabetes confirmed, divided into three groups (six to seven mice each). The groups were gavaged a daily dose of probucol powder, probucol microcapsules, or probucol-bile acid microcapsules for three months, and euthanized; and blood, tissues, and feces collected for blood glucose and probucol concentration analyses. Probucol concentrations in plasma were similar among all the groups. Groups given probucol microcapsules and probucol-bile acid microcapsules showed significant reduction in probucol accumulation in the heart compared with the group given probucol powder (p<0.05). Probucol microencapsulation with or without bile acids reduced its accumulation in heart tissues, without changing plasma concentrations, which may be beneficial in reducing its cardiotoxicity and optimise its potential applications in T2D.

Abstract
PURPOSE Radiation-induced cardiac toxicity (RICT) is an increasingly well-appreciated source of morbidity and mortality in patients receiving thoracic radiotherapy (RT). Currently available methods to predict RICT are suboptimal. We investigated circulating microRNAs (c-miRNAs) as potential biomarkers of RICT in patients undergoing definitive RT for non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC). METHODS Data from 63 patients treated on institutional trials were analyzed. Prognostic models of grade 3 or greater (G3 +) RICT based on pre-treatment c-miRNA levels ('c-miRNA'), mean heart dose (MHD) and pre-existing cardiac disease (PCD) ('clinical'), and a combination of these ('c-miRNA + clinical') were developed. Elastic net Cox regression and full cross validation were used for variable selection, model building, and model evaluation. Concordance statistic (c-index) and integrated Brier score (IBS) were used to evaluate model performance. RESULTS MHD, PCD, and serum levels of 14 c-miRNA species were identified as jointly prognostic for G3 + RICT. The 'c-miRNA and 'clinical' models yielded similar cross-validated c-indices (0.70 and 0.72, respectively) and IBSs (0.26 and 0.28, respectively). However, prognostication was not improved by combining c-miRNA and clinical factors (c-index 0.70, IBS 0.28). The 'c-miRNA' and 'clinical' models were able to significantly stratify patients into high- and low-risk groups of developing G3 + RICT. Chi-square testing demonstrated a marginally significantly higher prevalence of PCD in patients with high- compared to low-risk c-miRNA profile (p = 0.09), suggesting an association between some c-miRNAs and PCD. CONCLUSIONS We identified a pre-treatment c-miRNA signature prognostic for G3 + RICT. With further development, pre- and mid-treatment c-miRNA profiling could contribute to patient-specific dose selection and treatment adaptation.

Abstract
Cardiotoxicity is a serious adverse effect of doxorubicin (DOX) treatment in cancer patients. Currently, there is a lack of sensitive biomarkers to predict the risk of DOX-induced cardiotoxicity. Using SOMAmer-based proteomic technology, 1129 proteins were profiled to identify potential early biomarkers of cardiotoxicity in plasma from male B6C3F1 mice given a weekly intravenous dose of 3 mg/kg DOX or saline (SAL) for 2, 3, 4, 6, or 8 weeks (6, 9, 12, 18, or 24 mg/kg cumulative DOX doses, respectively). Also, a group of mice received the cardio-protectant, dexrazoxane (DXZ; 60 mg/kg; intraperitoneal) 30 min before a weekly DOX or SAL dose. Proteomic analysis in plasma collected a week after the last dose showed a significant ≥1.2-fold change in level of 18 proteins in DOX-treated mice compared to SAL-treated counterparts during 8-week exposure. Of these, neurogenic locus notch homolog protein 1 (NOTCH1), von Willebrand factor (vWF), mitochondrial glutamate carrier 2, Wnt inhibitory factor 1, legumain, and mannan-binding lectin serine protease 1 were increased in plasma at 6 mg/kg cumulative DOX dose, prior to the release of myocardial injury marker, cardiac troponin I at 12 mg/kg and higher cumulative doses. These six proteins also remained significantly elevated following myocardial injury or pathology at 24 mg/kg. Pretreatment of mice with DXZ significantly attenuated DOX-induced elevated levels of only NOTCH1 and vWF with mitigation of cardiotoxicity. This suggests NOTCH1 and vWF as candidate early biomarkers of DOX cardiotoxicity, which may help in addressing a clinically important question of identifying cancer patients at risk for cardiotoxicity.

Abstract
The current study was to evaluate soluble ST-2 level and left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) in patients with breast cancer receiving doxorubicin or trastuzumab treatment for 6 months and determine whether soluble ST-2 level can be used to predictive left ventricular function impairment.Patients who were diagnosed as having breast cancer receiving doxorubicin or trastuzumab or combined therapy were enrolled. Demographic data, prior medical history and related medical therapy, and site and stage of breast cancer information were collected from electronic health record. Fasting blood was used to detect soluble ST-2 and brain natriuretic peptide (BNP) levels before and after 6 months doxorubicin or trastuzumab therapy. Echocardiography was performed before and after 6 months of doxorubicin or trastuzumab therapy.Participants were divided into 3 groups based on tertiary soluble ST-2 level. Compared with 1st tertiary group, patients in the 3rd tertiary group had higher proportion receiving combined therapy (14.3% vs 4.7%, P < .05). Baseline soluble ST-2 level was similar across groups. After 6 months' therapy, soluble ST-2 level was significantly higher in the 3rd tertiary group. Pearson correlation analysis showed that soluble ST-2 level was positively correlated with left ventricular volume and E/e' ratio while negatively correlated with LVEF. Doxorubicin, trastuzumab, combined therapy, soluble ST-2 level, and angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitor/angiotensin receptor blocker treatment were all independently associated with LVEF change.In breast cancer patients receiving doxorubicin or trastuzumab therapy, soluble ST-2 level can be used to predict cardiac function and structure changes.

Abstract
This review is devoted to the urgent problem of cardiology and oncology - the cardiotoxicity of chemotherapy drugs - anthracyclines, which are considered to be one of the most cardiotoxic and cause a variety of cardiotoxic effects. The review also examines the diagnosis, treatment or preventive treatment of this pathology. The urgency of the problem is associated with the possibility of early or late manifestations of cardiotoxicity, manifestations of cardiotoxicity against the background of cross treatment, manifestations of cardiotoxicity against the background of various concomitant diseases. The review identified 9 main categories of cardiovascular complications during chemotherapeutic treatment and presents the types of cardiotoxicity caused by the use of anthracyclines. The issue of heart failure as a manifestation of anthracycline cardiotoxicity and the approaches to early diagnosis of cardiac insufficiency were examined in detail. The recommendations of the European Society of Medical Oncology (ESMO) (2012), the recommendations the European Society of Cardiology (ESC) in 2016 regarding the diagnosis and treatment of these patients are reviewed. An overview of the literature on the treatment and diagnosis of this category of patients is presented, especially with concomitant diseases. Examination of the patients, the timing of the initiation of therapy, preventive treatment, medication correction of heart failure, the doses, the combinations of chemotherapeutic drugs are issues that are recommended for the multidisciplinary team to successfully manage these patients.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Circulating cell-free miRNAs hold great promise as a new class of biomarkers due to their high stability in body fluids and association with disease stages. However, even using sensitive and specific methods, technical challenges are associated with miRNA analysis in body fluids. A major source of variation in plasma and serum is the potential cell-derived miRNA contamination from hemolysis. OBJECTIVES The study aimed to evaluate the effect of the delayed whole blood processing time on the concentrations of miR-1 and -423-5p. METHODS Ten blood samples were incubated for 0, 3 and 24 hours at room temperature prior to processing into plasma. For each time point, hemolysis was assessed in plasma by UV spectrophotometry at 414nm wavelength (λ414). Circulating levels of miR-1 and -423-5p were measured by RT-qPCR; miR-23a and -451 were also analyzed as controls. RESULTS A significant hemolysis was observed only after 24h (λ414 0.3 ± 0.02, p < 0.001). However, only small changes in miR-1 and -423-5p levels were observed up to 24h of storage at room temperature (Ct 31.5 ± 0.5 to 31.8 ± 0.6for miR-1, p = 0.989; and 29.01 ± 0.3 to 29.04 ± 0.3, p = 0.614 for - 423-5p). No correlation was observed between hemolysis and the levels of miR-1 and -423-5p. CONCLUSION Our data indicate that the storage of whole blood samples at room temperature for up to 24h prior to their processing into plasma does not appear to have a significant impact on miR-1 and - 423-5p concentrations.

Abstract
Anthracyclines are chemotherapeutic drugs known to induce heart failure in a dose-dependent manner. Mechanisms involved in anthracycline cardiotoxicity are an area of relevant investigation. Caveolins bind, organize and regulate receptors and signaling molecules within cell membranes. Caveolin-3 (Cav-3), integrins and related membrane repair proteins can function as cardioprotective proteins. Expression of these proteins in anthracycline-induced heart failure has not been evaluated. We tested the hypothesis that daunorubicin alters cardioprotective protein expression in the heart. Rabbits were administered daunorubicin (3 mg/kg, IV) weekly, for three weeks or nine weeks. Nine weeks but not three weeks of daunorubicin resulted in progressive reduced left ventricular function. Cav-3 expression in the heart was unchanged at three weeks of daunorubicin and increased in nine week treated rabbits when compared to control hearts. Electron microscopy showed caveolae in the heart were increased and mitochondrial number and size were decreased after nine weeks of daunorubicin. Activated beta-1 (β1) integrin and the membrane repair protein MG53 were increased after nine weeks of daunorubicin vs. controls with no change at the three week time point. The results suggest a potential pathophysiological role for Cav3, integrins and membrane repair in daunorubicin-induced heart failure.

Abstract
Doxorubicin (DOX) cardiotoxicity is unpredictable and begins with the first dose of chemotherapy. This study aimed to obtain information about circulating microRNA of cancer patients in the early dose of DOX chemotherapy, who either did or did not develop cardiac abnormality after the completion of chemotherapy. Plasma of 20 patients treated for breast cancer with DOX-chemotherapy was analyzed using quantitative RT-PCR. Circulating microRNA profiles of patients with DOX cardiotoxicity were compared to microRNA profiles of patients without DOX cardiotoxicity by quantitative real-time PCR. Thirty-two microRNAs were significantly dysregulated in the patients with abnormal cardiac function. Functional analysis of the 32 miRNAs suggested association with cell death, cell cycle, and inflammation. We have identified a miRNA signature associated with early doses of DOX-based chemotherapy that may potentially predict later impairment of cardiac function in breast cancer patients. Our data lay a foundation for future studies to identify biomarkers for presymptomatic DOX-induced cardiotoxicity.

Abstract
An ever-increasing array of chemotherapeutic agents is being used in the treatment of solid organ or hematologic malignancies. The success of many of these agents has led to an increasing survival of patients with cancer. However, many of these agents, particularly anthracyclines and trastuzumab, are associated with the development of cardiotoxicity. The current standard for the evaluation of chemotherapy-associated cardiotoxicity typically involves the use of serial measurements of left ventricular (LV) function by echocardiogram (Echo) and radionuclide ventriculogram (MUGA). Unfortunately, this time-honored method offers low sensitivity to the early prediction or detection of cardiac events. Frequently, by the time cardiotoxicity is detected, significant LV dysfunction has occurred and ultimately this may not respond to standard cardioprotective treatment. Cardiac biomarkers, troponin I and B-type natriuretic peptide, may allow a more accurate and timely monitoring strategy. The current data and a summarized understanding of how to utilize cardiac biomarkers for the prevention and early detection of cardiac dysfunction during chemotherapy are presented.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Cardiotoxicity of drugs in oncology is a growing problem which cardiologists and oncologists have to struggle with. So far, researchers have been looking for biochemical markers which could help to extract a group more prone to developing complications after chemotherapy. Authors’ reports are inconsistent in this topic. AIM This study assesses the role of troponin I, CK-MB and NT-proBNP as early predictive markers for later cardiotoxicity among patients with breast cancer treated with chemotherapy. METHODS One hundred five patients with breast cancer, without either heart failure or more than moderate severity of valvular heart diseases were qualified to the study. RESULTS NT-proBNP concentration significantly increased just after the first cycle of chemotherapy, either in a subgroup which developed cardiotoxicity or without this end point (p<0.001, p=0.004). CK-MB did not change significantly during observation. Troponin I did not change in any of the patients. During observation HDL-cholesterol concentration significantly decreased. A transient increase of the concentration of LDL-cholesterol had been noted, but later it decreased below baseline level. CONCLUSION Troponin I has too low sensitivity to be used as a prognostic marker for further cardiotoxicity after chemotherapy. No prognostic values have been noted of NT-proBNP and CK-MB due to the lack of differences in both a subgroup with and without cardiotoxicity.

Abstract
The treatment based on athracyclines and trastuzumab may lead to heart failure in oncological setting. Assessment of the heart function is conducted using radiological examinations, especially echocardiography. Biochemical diagnostics enables to depict clinically silent cardiac dysfunction at an earlier stage. Biomarkers that showed to be the most promising in predicting the development of deterioration of systolic and/or diastolic function in course of chemotherapy are troponins and NT-pro-BNP. However, no cut-off point had been yet determined, especially in terms of cardiotoxicity induced by oncological therapy. Biomarkers serum level may be dependent on many conditions, mostly comorbidities, what makes the interpretation of the results difficult. Trials involving mikro RNA particles, which depict the molecular level of the pathological changes, also those involved in the development of cardiomyopathy, are underway.

Abstract
Protective immunity against anthrax is inferred from measurement of vaccine antigen-specific neutralizing antibody titers in serum samples. In animal models, in vivo challenges with toxin and/or spores can also be performed. However, neither of these approaches considers toxin-induced damage to specific organ systems. It is therefore important to determine to what extent anthrax vaccines and existing or candidate adjuvants can provide organ-specific protection against intoxication. We therefore compared the ability of Alum, CpG DNA and the CD1d ligand α-galactosylceramide (αGC) to enhance protective antigen-specific antibody titers, to protect mice against challenge with lethal toxin, and to block cardiotoxicity and hepatotoxicity. By measurement of serum cardiac Troponin I (cTnI), and hepatic alanine aminotransferase (ALT), and aspartate aminotransferase (AST), it was apparent that neither vaccine modality prevented hepatic intoxication, despite high Ab titers and ultimate survival of the subject. In contrast, cardiotoxicity was greatly diminished by prior immunization. This shows that a vaccine that confers survival following toxin exposure may still have an associated morbidity. We propose that organ-specific intoxication should be monitored routinely during research into new vaccine modalities.

Abstract
AIM Identification of patient with increased risk of cardiotoxicity would allow not only prevention and early diagnosis of chemotherapy related cardiotoxicity but also administration of optimal dose and duration of chemotherapy. MATERIALS AND METHODS Fifty-two women with HER2(+) breast cancer treated with trastuzumab were included in this study. Patients were prospectively followed with routine cardiac evaluation. Before and after administration of trastuzumab blood samples for NT-proBNP were also taken. RESULTS The median age was 48.5 year (range: 26-74). Hypertension and obesity were two most common co-morbidities. The median duration application of trastuzumab was 52 weeks. During median 14.5 (3-33) months follow-up cardiac adverse events occurred in 5 (9.6%) patients and 2 out of 5 was grade III-IV heart failure. Both patients had preserved left ventricular ejection fraction and no symptom of heart failure before trastuzumab but older than 65 years old and had diabetes mellitus and obesity. High level of NT-proBNP (> 300 ng/ml) was observed in both patients and heart failure recovery was not observed. There was statistically significant difference regarding body mass index (p = 0.004) and diabetes mellitus (p = 0.002) between patients with and without cardiotoxicity. CONCLUSION Although, cardiac biomarkers still cannot replace routine cardiac monitoring, natriuretic peptides may provide additional tool for detection of patients with high risk of cardiotoxicity and early detection of cardiotoxicity.

Abstract
The present study was undertaken to evaluate the cardioprotective role of (-)-epigallocatechin-gallate (EGCG) against Fluoride (F) induced oxidative stress mediated cardiotoxicity in rats. The animals exposed to F as sodium Fluoride (NaF) (25mg/kg BW) for 4 weeks exhibited a significant increase in the levels of cardiac troponins T and I (cTnT & I), cardiac serum markers, lipid peroxidative markers and plasma total cholesterol (TC), triglycerides (TG), phospholipids (PL), free fatty acids (FFA), low density lipoprotein cholesterol, very low density lipoprotein cholesterol as well as cardiac lipids profile (TC, TG and FFA) with the significant decrease of high density lipoprotein cholesterol and cardiac phospholipids. F intoxication also decreased the levels of mitochondrial enzymes such as ICDH, SDH, MDH, α-KGDH and NADH in the cardiac tissue of rats. The mitochondrial Ca(2+) ion level was also significantly reduced along with the significant decrease in the levels of enzymatic and non enzymatic antioxidants. Furthermore, F treatment significantly increased the DNA fragmentation, up regulate cardiac pro-apoptotic markers, inflammatory markers and down-regulate the anti-apoptotic markers in the cardiac tissue. Pre administration of EGCG (40mg/kg/bw) in F intoxicated rats remarkably recovered all these altered parameters to near normalcy through its antioxidant nature. Thus, results of the present study clearly demonstrated that treatment with EGCG prior to F intoxication has a significant role in protecting F-induced cardiotoxicity and dyslipidemia in rats.
