Cardiac-targeted expression of soluble fas attenuates doxorubicin-induced cardiotoxicity in mice.
Doxorubicin (Dox) is known to cause cardiomyopathy and congestive heart failure upon chronic administration. The mechanisms underlying these toxicities remain uncertain but have been attributed, at least in part, by induction of cardiac cell apoptosis. Fas ligation with its cognate ligand (FasL) induces apoptosis and activates cellular inflammatory responses associated with tissue injury. We de...
متن کاملPretreatment with statin attenuates the cardiotoxicity of Doxorubicin in mice.
Cardiotoxicity, which may result from intense cardiac oxidative stress and inflammation, is the main limiting factor of the anticancer therapy using doxorubicin. Because statins might exert beneficial pleiotropic cardiovascular effects, among other things, by anti-inflammatory and antioxidative mechanisms, we investigated whether or not fluvastatin pretreatment can attenuate doxorubicin-induced...
متن کاملOver-expression of heat shock protein 27 attenuates doxorubicin-induced cardiac dysfunction in mice.
BACKGROUND Oxidative stress and myocyte apoptosis are thought to play an important role in the pathogenesis, progression and prognosis of heart failure (HF). Heat shock protein 27 (Hsp27) has been found to confer resistance to oxidative stress in cultured cells; however, the role of Hsp27 in in-vivo hearts remains to be determined. AIM To investigate the effects of Hsp27 over-expression on do...
متن کاملHydrogen sulfide attenuates doxorubicin-induced cardiotoxicity by inhibiting the expression of peroxiredoxin III in H9c2 cells.
Doxorubicin (DOX) is a widely used chemotherapeutic agent, which can give rise to severe cardiotoxicity, limiting its clinical use. Preliminary evidence suggests that hydrogen sulfide (H2S) may exert protective effects on DOX‑induced cardiotoxicity. Therefore, the aim of the present study was to investigate whether peroxiredoxin III is involved in the cardioprotection of H2S against DOX‑induced...
متن کاملHydrogen sulfide attenuates doxorubicin‑induced cardiotoxicity by inhibiting calreticulin expression in H9c2 cells.
Doxorubicin (DOX) is a potent and currently available antitumor therapeutic agent; however, its clinical application is limited by the occurrence of cardiotoxicity. Preliminary evidence indicates that hydrogen sulfide (H2S) may exert protective effects against DOX cardiotoxicity. Therefore, the aim of the present study was to investigate whether calreticulin (CRT) is involved in the cardioprote...
