Repressed stress responses may underlie doxorubicin cardiotoxicity; leaves open translation to human hearts.
Early doxorubicin exposure in a rat heart model blunts cellular stress responses and danger signaling, suggesting a mechanism for its cardiotoxic effects.
Tokarska-Schlattner et al. (2010) studied Doxorubicin-induced cardiac toxicity. Doxorubicin (DXR) was evaluated on Cardiac transcriptional reprogramming. Doxorubicin perfusion in rat hearts induced widespread transcriptional reprogramming, notably repressing numerous transcripts involved in cardiac stress response and stress signaling.
