Topoisomerase 2β: A Promising Molecular Target for Primary Prevention of Anthracycline‐Induced Cardiotoxicity
@article{Vejpongsa2014Topoisomerase2A, title={Topoisomerase 2$\beta$: A Promising Molecular Target for Primary Prevention of Anthracycline‐Induced Cardiotoxicity}, author={Pimprapa Vejpongsa and Eth Yeh}, journal={Clinical Pharmacology \& Therapeutics}, year={2014}, volume={95} }
Anthracyclines are powerful chemotherapy agents that are still widely used today. However, their clinical use is limited by the development of dose‐dependent cardiotoxicity. Recently, we showed that topoisomerase 2β (Top2β) is required for anthracycline to induce DNA double‐strand breaks and changes in the transcriptome, leading to mitochondrial dysfunction and generation of reactive oxygen species. Furthermore, deleting Top2β from cardiomyocytes prevented the development of anthracycline…

The present review aimed to discuss ANTs-induced cardiac injury from different points of view, updating and focusing on oxidative stress and inflammation, since these pathways are not exclusive or independent from each other but they together importantly contribute to the complexity of AN Ts-induced multifactorial cardiotoxicity.

It is shown that dexrazoxane specifically abolished the DNA damage signal gamma-H2AX induced by doxorubicin, but not camptothecin or hydrogen peroxide, in H9C2 cardiomyocytes, and this results suggest that dex Razoxane antagonizesDoxorubsicin-induced DNA damage through its interference with Top2beta, which could implicate Top2 beta indoxorUBicin cardiotoxicity.

It is shown here that VP-16-induced carcinogenesis involves mainly the β rather than the α isozyme of Top2, suggesting the importance of developing Top2α-specific anticancer drugs for effective chemotherapy without the development of treatment-related secondary malignancies.

It is suggested that doxorubicin treatment induces acute cardiac dysfunction and reduces cardiac mass via p53-dependent inhibition of mTOR signaling and that loss of myocardial mass, and not cardiomyocyte apoptosis, is the major contributor to acute doxorbicin cardiotoxicity.
