CREG1 attenuates doxorubicin-induced cardiotoxicity by inhibiting the ferroptosis of cardiomyocytes.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

Doxorubicin (DOX)-induced cardiotoxicity limits the application of DOX in cancer patients. Currently, there is no effective prevention or treatment for DOX-induced cardiotoxicity. The cellular repressor of E1A-stimulated genes (CREG1) is a cardioprotective factor that plays an important role in the maintenance of cardiomyocytes differentiation and homeostasis. However, the role and mechanism of CREG1 in DOX-induced cardiotoxicity has not yet been elucidated.

Methods

In vivo, C57BL/6J mice, CREG1 transgenic and cardiac-specific CREG1 knockout mice were used to establish a DOX-induced cardiotoxicity model. H&E staining, Masson's trichrome, WGA staining, real-time PCR, and western blotting were performed to examine fibrosis and ferroptosis in the myocardium. In vitro,
