Different Mechanisms in Doxorubicin-Induced Cardiomyopathy: Impact of BRCA1 and BRCA2 Mutations

Hien C. Nguyen,
Jefferson C. Frisbee,
Krishna K. Singh

Abstract: Germline mutations in Breast cancer susceptibility genes 1 and 2 (BRCA1 and BRCA2) cause breast, ovarian, and other cancers, and the chemotherapeutic drug doxorubicin (Dox) is widely used to treat these cancers. However, Dox use is limited by the latent induction of severe cardiotoxicity known as Dox-induced cardiomyopathy, for which there are no specific treatments currently available. Dox is administered into the systemic circulation, where it readily translocates into sub-cellular compartments and disrupts … Show more

“…We chose Dox as a geno- and cytotoxic agent due to its wide usage in cancer treatment and ability to induce DNA damage through various mechanisms [ 28 ]. Numerous studies have extensively researched the vast array of cellular functions that are impaired by Dox, especially in the heart, and can cause cardiac failure with a poor prognosis [ 29 ]. The loss of BRCA2 in the heart led to increased DNA damage, apoptosis, and cardiac malfunction when exposed to Dox [ 30 ].…”
