ABSTRACT Doxorubicin is an anthracycline antibiotic.As a broad-spectrum antitumor drug, it is widely used in clinic.However, doxorubicin is dose-dependent and shows obvious cardiotoxicity,which limits its clinical application.At present, the mechanism of doxorubicin induced cardiotoxicity has not been fully clarified.Reducing cardiotoxicity and improving the scope of clinical application have become the focus of research in recent years.This paper reviews the mechanism of doxorubicin cardiotoxicity and the prevention and treatment of doxorubicin cardiotoxicity with traditional Chinese medicine, in order to provide reference for the combined application of doxorubicin.

1.Introduction

Doxorubicin (DOX) is a first-line chemotherapy drug with anthracycline structure.It is widely used in the treatment of solid tumors such as malignant lymphoma, breast cancer, prostate cancer,bladder cancer, osteosarcoma, lung cancer and neuroblastoma[1].DOX mainly plays an anti-tumor role by embedding DNA and inhibiting topoisomerase II, but the low selectivity of DOX can also cause apoptosis or necrosis of normal tissues, involving multiple organs such as brain, heart, liver and kidney, causing toxic damage[2].Clinical studies have found that DOX induced cardiotoxicity is dose-dependent.When the concentration of DOX reaches 400 mg/m2, 500 mg/m2and 550 mg/m2respectively, the incidence of heart failure is positively correlated with the cumulative dose, increasing to 5%, 16% and 26%[3], resulting in progressive heart failure and irreversible cardiac insufficiency[4].Current studies suggest that DOX induced cardiotoxicity is related to oxidative stress, inflammatory response, mitochondrial damage, imbalance of Ca2+homeostasis, apoptosis, autophagy and other mechanisms[5].This paper reviews the toxic mechanism of DOX and the role of traditional Chinese medicine in the prevention and treatment of DOX cardiotoxicity, in order to provide reference for the clinical application of DOX.

1.Molecular mechanism of doxorubicin induced myocardial injury

1.1 Oxidative stress and inflammatory response

Oxidative stress is a state of imbalance between reactive oxygen species (ROS) and antioxidation in the body.When the body tends to oxidative reaction, it can lead to neutrophil inflammatory infiltration, increase protease secretion, and produce oxidative intermediates such as superoxide anion (O2-), hydroxyl radical(-OH)[6].Under normal conditions, the main site of reactive oxygen species generation is online particle.ROS enzyme in mitochondria can convert the quinone part of DOX into semiquinone form.DOX in semiquinone form is easy to react with oxygen molecule (O2)to generate superoxide anion (O2-).O2-combines with superoxide dismutase (SOD) to form relatively stable and low toxic hydrogen peroxide (H2O2), and then produce highly active - oh.ROS oxidizes with DNA, protein and lipid, resulting in DNA damage and lipid peroxidation, and finally cell damage[7].

There is a positive correlation between inflammatory response and oxidative stress, which accelerates myocardial injury.Abdelgawad et al.[8] showed that DOX can stimulate the inflammatory factors interleukin-6 (IL-6) and tumor necrosis factor of cardiomyocytesα (TNF-α) Expression and release of.Zhang et al.[9] found that DOX can over activate TLR4/MAPKs/NF-κB signaling pathway in myeloid differentiation protein 1 (MD-1) gene knockout mice to accelerate cardiomyocyte apoptosis.Wang et al.[10] showed that DOX stimulates the transient receptor potential A1 (TRPA1) ion channel and causes cardiotoxicity by promoting oxidative stress and inflammation.

1.2 Mitochondrial damage

As a place for aerobic respiration and providing energy for cell metabolism, mitochondria have the ability to regulate cell growth,which is very important to maintain the normal function of cells and the balance of energy metabolism[11].Dox can cause damage to mitochondrial tissue structure, affect mitochondrial metabolism and reduce cell energy supply.DOX has high affinity with cardiolipin located on the inner membrane of mitochondria.They combine to form an irreversible complex and accumulate in cardiomyocytes.When the concentration of DOX in mitochondria exceeds 50～100 μmol/L, ROS production increased[12].Mitochondrial phosphate transporter (MPT) is an important protein located on the inner mitochondrial membrane.MPT is responsible for transferring the metabolic substrate inorganic phosphate from the cytoplasm to the mitochondrial matrix through the inner mitochondrial membrane[13].MPT pore (MPTP) can lead to changes in mitochondrial intimal potential, cessation of mitochondrial adenosine triphosphate (ATP)synthesis, uncoupling of respiratory chain, promoting mitochondrial osmotic swelling and rupture and cell death through DOX induced mitochondrial oxidative damage and calcium overload[14].Catanzaro et al.[15] pointed out that DOX can also enhance mitochondrial lysis and accelerate the degradation of mitochondria by lysosomes,eventually leading to cardiotoxicity.

1.3 Calcium homeostasis imbalance

DOX and its metabolites can cause the increase of intracellular Ca2+concentration, imbalance the Ca2+homeostasis in cardiomyocytes,and damage the function of cardiomyocytes.Sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR), a special form of endoplasmic reticulum of cardiomyocytes, is mainly responsible for regulating Ca2+channels and controlling excitation contraction coupling[16], and participates in the development of DOX induced cardiotoxicity.Glucose regulated protein 78 (GRP78) is not only the central mediator of unfolded protein response during endoplasmic reticulum stress,but also the regulator of endoplasmic reticulum Ca2+homeostasis.Overexpression of GRP78 can reduce calmodulin dependent protein kinase II (CaMKII) activation and p53 accumulation, and protect cardiomyocytes from DOX induced apoptosis[17].Llach et al.[18]showed that low-dose DOX can reduce ejection fraction, slightly expand and destroy cardiac function.Its mechanism may be related to the decrease of intracellular free Ca2+concentration.

1.4 Autophagy

Autophagy is a catabolic process that eliminates misfolded proteins and damaged or aging organelles by regulating autophagy related genes (ATG) and lysosomal proteolysis to maintain cell homeostasis[19].Dox can induce autophagy initiation of cardiomyocytes through endoplasmic reticulum stress, oxidative stress and other pathways[20].Mammalian rapamycin target protein (mTOR) is one of the main negative regulators of autophagy.DOX increases the expression of microtubule associated protein 1A/1B light chain 3- II (LC3-II),ATG5, atg6, Atg8 and atg12 by activating AMPK and inhibiting p38 mitogen activated protein kinase (p38 MAPK), inhibits the expression of mTOR and promotes autophagy[21].In addition, DOX can stimulate autophagy by increasing the ratio of LC3-II/LC3-I,stimulate the expression of c-jun amino terminal kinase 1 (JNK1)and p70S6 kinase (P70S6K), up regulate the expression of p62,beclin-1 and ATG5, and promote autophagy[16].

1.5 Apoptosis

Apoptosis is a programmed cell death controlled by genes.It plays an important role in the evolution of organisms, the homeostasis of internal environment and the renewal of normal cells.Dox induced cardiotoxicity is related to p53 nuclear translocation and p53 dependent apoptosis.Dox activates extracellular signal regulated kinase (ERK) and phosphorylates p53 at ser15.Phosphorylation of p53 can lead to cardiomyocyte apoptosis by down regulating anti apoptotic B-cell Lymphoma 2 (Bcl-2), up regulating Pro apoptotic Bcl-2 related X protein (Bax) and activating cysteine protease-3(caspase-3), caspase-9 and ADP ribose polymerase[22].In addition,E2F transcription factor 1 (E2F1)/AMPK α The activation of 2 signaling pathway is also involved in DOX induced cardiomyocyte apoptosis[23].Although the effect and mechanism of DOX on cardiomyocyte apoptosis have been widely studied, the specific signal pathway involved in DOX induced apoptosis has not been completely clear.The schematic diagram of the mechanism related to dox induced cardiotoxicity is shown in Figure 1.

2.Preventive and therapeutic effects of traditional Chinese medicine and its active components on doxorubicin induced cardiotoxicity

Although the records of symptoms, accumulation, rash, addiction,rock and other diseases in traditional Chinese medicine books of past dynasties are similar to modern malignant tumors, there is no clear record of the toxicity caused by anti-tumor drugs.The clinical manifestations of doxorubicin induced cardiotoxicity are chest tightness, palpitation, shortness of breath, fatigue, sweating and cold limbs.Traditional Chinese medicine classifies them into the categories of “palpitation”, “chest arthralgia” and “heart failure”according to clinical symptoms.The pathogenesis of myocardial injury caused by doxorubicin is mostly deficiency of Qi and Yin and deficiency of Qi and blood.Based on the idea of “concept of righteousness and evil” in the Yellow Emperor’s Internal Classic,the treatment is mainly to support righteousness and eliminate evil,which should replenish qi, nourish blood, warm yang and nourish yin; Dispelling evil should promote blood circulation, remove phlegm, regulate qi and remove blood stasis.

3.Summary and Prospect

The etiology of DOX induced cardiotoxicity lies in “deficiency”.The Yellow Emperor’s Internal Classic says that “deficiency will make up for it, and those who lose will benefit it”.The treatment is mainly “tonifying deficiency, protecting the heart and reducing toxicity”.At present, it is found that the toxicity of DOX does not exist only in the form of cardiac toxicity, but traditional Chinese medicine takes into account the whole, which can effectively improve the overall toxicity while reducing the cardiac toxicity.Traditional Chinese medicine systematically treats the body from the perspective of the whole and takes into account the damage of multiple organs, which has unique advantages in the toxic reactions caused by DOX.Traditional Chinese medicines such as tonifying deficiency drugs and promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis can effectively prevent DOX induced cardiotoxicity by strengthening the body and expelling evil.Their mechanisms are mostly related to antioxidant stress and inflammatory response,preventing mitochondrial damage, maintaining Ca2+homeostasis,inhibiting cardiomyocyte apoptosis and so on.However, traditional Chinese medicine has the characteristics of multi-component, multichannel and multi-target in treatment, which leads to the complexity and correlation of the detoxification mechanism.Therefore, the specific pharmacodynamic material basis and action mechanism need to be further studied.
