Protective effects of ginsenoside Rh2 on doxorubicin damaged hearts from breast tumor bearing mice

ABSTRACT: The FDA approved drug Doxorubicin provokes copious irreversible cardiotoxicity and even increases the risk of heart failure. Considering the multiple and interacted molecular pathways in cancer, there is a big possibility that tumors are simultaneously sensitive to different drugs. This makes achievable to study the combinations of drug, having the virtues of less toxicity, higher efficacy and potentially antagonizing drug resistance in cancer therapy. In the present study, we addressed the synergistic effects of ginsenoside Rh2 on doxorubicin-treated breast cancer bearing mice. We showed that Rh2 significantly enhanced the antitumor effects of doxorubicin and greatly attenuated the cardiotoxicity. Transcriptomic changes can clearly distinguish the chemotherapeutic groups and non-treated control groups. Transcriptomic analysis domestrated that Rh2 protection involved in multiple vital pathways including cellular senescece, fibrosis remodeling, apoptosis and inflammation.

Project description:To compare expression profiles in the cardiomyocytes with wild type top2b and those with top2b deletion after in vivo treatment of mice with doxorubicin or drug vehicle Doxorubicin is widely used in modern cancer treatments, despite the advent of targeted therapy. However, a dose-dependent cardiotoxicity often limits its clinical use. The prevailing theory hypothesizes that doxorubicin-induced cardiotoxicity is the result of reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation due to redox-cycling of doxorubicin. Here we showed that cardiomyocyte-specific deletion of Topoisomerase II beta (Top2b) markedly reduced DNA double-strand breaks, apoptosis, and functional damages in doxorubicin-treated hearts. To investigate transcriptomic changes after doxorubicin treatment in wild type mouse and mouse with cardiac specific deletion of Top2b, we examined the expression profiles in 4 groups of mice (3/group), ie. wildtype mice with or without doxorubicin treatment and mice with Top2b deletion in the cardiomyocytes with or without doxorubicin treatment. Mice were treated with doxorubicin (25mg/kg, i.p.) or PBS (drug vehicle) for 16 hr or 72 hr. The heart was removed and cardiomyocytes were isolated by using a Langendorff apparatus. After purification, total RNA was extracted from the cardiomyocytes, purified, and used for gene expression analysis. Compared with that in control cardiomyocytes or cardiomyocytes with Top2b deletion, doxorubicin caused a significant expression change in the genome of cardiomyocytes from the wildtype mice. Among the changes, multiple genes encoding mitochondrial structural protein and components of the respiratory chain complexes were down-regulated 72 hr after treatment while multiple genes in the p53 pathway were up-regulated 16 hr after treatment in the wildtype cardiomyocytes. Expression changes were examined in 2 groups of mice (wild type and conditional knockout of top2b in the cardiomyocytes) treated with doxorubicin or PBS for 16 or 72 hours
