Annexin V imaging of acute doxorubicin cardiotoxicity (apoptosis) in rats.
UNLABELLED Anthracyclines are widely used in chemotherapy regimens for several malignancies, with cardiotoxicity being the major limiting factor in high-dose schedules. Recently, it was reported that doxorubicin induces apoptosis in cardiac muscle cells in vivo and, as such, is expected to be involved in the genesis of doxorubicin-induced cardiomyopathy. The aim of this study was to validate an...
متن کاملAmelioration of methamphetamine cardiotoxicity by propofol
Methamphetamine (MET) is a stimulant and one of the most abused drugs in worldwide. MET could cause several organ toxicity such as cardiotoxicity. Oxidative stress has been proposed as the main mechanism for MET toxicity. Propofol as a sedative-hypnotic agent has antioxidant property. In this study, we used propofol for attenuating of MET-induced cardiotoxicity in rats. The groups (six rats in ...
متن کاملAnthracycline Cardiotoxicity
In this issue, Gupta et al describe a novel mechanism, mediated through alterations in the RNA-binding protein QKI (Quaking), responsible for anthracycline-mediated cardiotoxicity. Performing global transcriptional profiling in murine hearts exposed to doxorubicin, they identified 5 differentially expressed RNA-binding proteins: 4 of which were upregulated and 1 QKI which was downregulated. QKI...
متن کاملCardiotoxicity of Anticancer Therapeutics
As cancer therapeutics continues to improve and progress, the adverse side effects associated with anticancer treatments have also attracted more attention and have become extensively explored. Consequently, the importance of posttreatment follow-ups is becoming increasingly relevant to the discussion. Contemporary treatment methods, such as tyrosine kinase inhibitors, anthracycline chemotherap...
متن کاملCardiotoxicity of cytotoxic drugs.
Cardiotoxicity is a well-known side effect of several cytotoxic drugs, especially of the anthracyclines and can lead to long term morbidity. The mechanism of anthracycline induced cardiotoxicity seems to involve the formation of free radicals leading to oxidative stress. This may cause apoptosis of cardiac cells or immunologic reactions. However, alternative mechanisms may play a role in anthra...
