Key result

Ginsenoside Rg2 pretreatment attenuates Trastuzumab-induced LV dysfunction and cardiomyocyte apoptosis in preclinical models.

Why the study?

Trastuzumab has significant cardiotoxicity, and this study investigated whether ginsenoside Rg2 attenuates trastuzumab-induced cardiotoxicity.

Does Ginsenoside Rg2 prevent Trastuzumab-induced cardiotoxicity in preclinical models?

Population

Wistar rats and primary human cardiomyocytes

Comparison

Trastuzumab with Rg2 pretreatment vs trastuzumab alone

Design

Preclinical animal and in vitro study

Overview

Hypothesis-generating for Ginsenoside Rg2 in trastuzumab cardiotoxicity; prospective human trials needed before any clinical consideration.

Structured PICO

Does Ginsenoside Rg2 prevent Trastuzumab-induced cardiotoxicity in preclinical models?

P
Population
Wistar rats and primary human cardiomyocytes subjected to Trastuzumab-induced cardiotoxicity.
I
Intervention
Pretreatment with Ginsenoside Rg2
C
Comparator
Trastuzumab treatment without Ginsenoside Rg2 pretreatment
O
Outcome
LV dysfunction (assessed by echocardiography) and apoptosis markers (caspase-3, caspase-9, and BAX)surrogate

Ginsenoside Rg2 attenuates trastuzumab-induced cardiotoxicity by downregulating proapoptotic proteins, suggesting a potential therapeutic role in preventing cardio-oncologic complications.

Cite This Study

Liu et al. (2022) studied Trastuzumab-induced cardiotoxicity. Ginsenoside Rg2 vs. Trastuzumab alone was evaluated on LV dysfunction and apoptosis. Pretreatment with Ginsenoside Rg2 attenuated Trastuzumab-induced left ventricular dysfunction in rats and reduced apoptosis in human cardiomyocytes.
