MicroRNA in the Diagnosis and Treatment of Doxorubicin-Induced Cardiotoxicity

Ziyu Kuang, Jingyuan Wu, Ying Tan, Guanghui Zhu, Jie Li, Min Wu

Summary: Doxorubicin (DOX) is a widely used chemotherapy drug for cancer treatment; however, its clinical utility is limited due to DOX-induced cardiotoxicity (DIC). Conventional detection methods are ineffective in early monitoring and detecting DIC. Therefore, there is a need for sensitive, accurate, and specific diagnostic and treatment methods. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) have been identified as stable and detectable molecules and are being studied as potential biomarkers and therapeutic targets for DIC. This review summarizes the current research on the diagnosis and treatment of miRNAs in DIC, discusses the feasibility and challenges of using miRNAs as diagnostic biomarkers and therapeutic targets, and provides recommendations for future studies.

microRNA miR-133a as a Biomarker for Doxorubicin-Induced Cardiotoxicity in Women with Breast Cancer: A Signaling Pathway Investigation

Michelle Teodoro Alves, Izabela Mamede Costa Andrade da Conceicao, Angelica Navarro de Oliveira, Heloisa Helena Marques Oliveira, Cintia Esteves Soares, Adriano de Paula Sabino, Luciana Maria Silva, Ricardo Simoes, Marcelo Rizzatti Luizon, Karina Braga Gomes

Summary: This study compared the expression of circulating miRNAs in serum samples from breast cancer patients with DOX-induced cardiotoxicity and non-cardiotoxicity. The findings revealed that miR-133a was significantly upregulated in the cardiotoxicity group and was associated with the ErbB2 signaling pathway. This suggests that miR-133a may serve as a potential marker for DOX-induced cardiotoxicity in women with breast cancer.

MicroRNAs in doxorubicin-induced cardiotoxicity: The DNA damage response

Ippei Kawano, Michaela Adamcova

Summary: This review summarizes the microRNAs (miRNAs) reported in recent literature in the context of doxorubicin (DOX)-induced cardiotoxicity (DIC). It focuses on miRNAs that regulate cellular responses downstream to DOX-induced DNA damage, specifically p53 activation, inhibition of pro-survival signaling pathways (such as AMPK, AKT, GATA-4, and sirtuin pathways), mitochondrial dysfunction, and ferroptosis. Understanding the involvement of miRNAs in these pathways is necessary for the development of future therapies for cardioprotection against DOX.

Genome-Wide DNA Methylation Signatures Predict the Early Asymptomatic Doxorubicin-Induced Cardiotoxicity in Breast Cancer

Michael A. Bauer, Valentina K. Todorova, Annjanette Stone, Weleetka Carter, Matthew D. Plotkin, Ping-Ching Hsu, Jeanne Y. Wei, Joseph L. Su, Issam Makhoul

Summary: This study investigated the DNA methylation state of peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) as a potential predictor of cardiotoxicity in breast cancer patients receiving doxorubicin (DOX)-based chemotherapy. Significant differences in DNA methylation patterns of PBMCs were associated with the risk of cardiotoxicity, suggesting a potential for personalized medicine to tailor treatment and reduce heart toxicity. Further studies are needed to confirm these preliminary findings and assess the utility of PBMC DNA methylation profiles in predicting DOX-induced cardiotoxicity.

MicroRNA expression profiling involved in doxorubicin-induced cardiotoxicity using high-throughput deep-sequencing analysis

Ying Chen, Yingjie Xu, Zhoufeng Deng, Yin Wang, Ying Zheng, Weihua Jiang, Li Jiang

Summary: This study used high-throughput deep-sequencing to analyze changes in global miRNA expression in Doxorubicin-induced cardiomyocytes, revealing the involvement of differentially expressed miRNAs in regulating key pathways including apoptosis, cell proliferation, oxidative stress, and lipid metabolism. These findings suggest that global wide miRNA profiling may provide new insights into understanding Doxorubicin-induced heart failure and cardiotoxicity, as well as identifying potential biomarkers and therapeutic targets.

STING mediates nuclear PD-L1 targeting-induced senescence in cancer cells

Je-Jung Lee, So Young Kim, Songhee H. Kim, Seoyeon Choi, Bin Lee, Jeon-Soo Shin

Summary: In this study, the role of PD-L1 in cancer progression and its regulation of cancer prevention were investigated. It was found that PD-L1 depletion induced senescence in cancer cells by strongly inducing STING expression. Nuclear PD-L1 silencing increased STING promoter activity, indicating a negative regulation of STING expression by PD-L1 through transcriptional modulation. Furthermore, PD-L1 was shown to bind to the STING promoter region, directly controlling STING expression to promote cancer growth. Combining PD-L1 silencing with the senescence-inducing chemotherapeutic agent doxorubicin further enhanced the efficacy of PD-L1 targeting.

Uncoupling protein 2-mediated metabolic adaptations define cardiac cell function in the heart during transition from young to old age

Justin Kurian, Antonia E. Yuko, Nicole Kasatkin, Vagner O. C. Rigaud, Kelsey Busch, Daria Harlamova, Marcus Wagner, Fabio A. Recchia, Hong Wang, Sadia Mohsin, Steven R. Houser, Mohsin Khan

Summary: This study reveals a novel role for uncoupling protein 2 (UCP2) in regulating functional properties of cardiac tissue-derived stem-like cells (CTSCs). UCP2, highly expressed in neonatal CTSCs, is linked to glycolysis, proliferation, and survival, but its reduction with age shifts cellular metabolism to oxidative phosphorylation, affecting proliferation and survival in aged CTSCs. Loss of UCP2 in neonatal CTSCs leads to reduced glycolysis, proliferation, and survival, with significant alterations in mitochondrial genes identified by RNA sequencing and bioinformatic analysis.
