Memantine, an NMDA Receptor Antagonist, Attenuates Doxorubicin-Induced Cardiac Oxidative Stress and Inflammation in Mouse 4T1 Breast Cancer Model.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Breast cancer is the most common cancer among women, and chemotherapy is a key treatment option. Doxorubicin is frequently used for breast cancer but poses a risk of cardiotoxicity. Recently, memantine, an N-Methyl-D-aspartate antagonist, has shown both antitumor and cardioprotective effects.

Objectives

We conducted a study to examine the combined effects of doxorubicin and memantine on the 4T1 cell line in a breast cancer animal model and to assess memantine's potential in reducing doxorubicin-induced cardiotoxicity in breast cancer model mouse.

Design

The 4T1 cell line was cultured and subsequently inoculated into mice. After that animals were randomly divided into four groups: (1) control, (2) memantine, (3) doxorubicin, and (4) memantine + doxorubicin.<
