Integrative transcriptomics and cell systems analyses reveal protective pathways controlled by Igfbp-3 in anthracycline-induced cardiotoxicity.

ABSTRACT: Anthracyclines such as doxorubicin (Dox) are effective chemotherapeutic agents; however, their use is hampered by subsequent cardiotoxicity risk. Our understanding of cardiomyocyte protective pathways activated following anthracycline-induced cardiotoxicity (AIC) remains incomplete. Insulin-like growth factor binding protein (IGFBP) 3 (Igfbp-3), the most abundant IGFBP family member in the circulation, is associated with effects on the metabolism, proliferation, and survival of various cells. Whereas Igfbp-3 is induced by Dox in the heart, its role in AIC is ill-defined. We investigated molecular mechanisms as well as systems-level transcriptomic consequences of manipulating Igfbp-3 in AIC using neonatal rat ventricular myocytes and human-induced pluripotent stem cell-derived cardiomyocyte
