Suggests p53-mitochondrial pathway as doxorubicin cardiotoxicity target; leaves open clinical translation pending human validation.
Does doxorubicin induce DNA damage leading to cell death in H9c2 cardiac myocytes?
Doxorubicin-induced cardiotoxicity involves early DNA damage leading to cell death via a p53 and mitochondrial-dependent pathway.
L’Ecuyer et al. (2006) studied this question.
