Abstract
Doxorubicin (DOXO)-induced cardiomyopathy (DIC) is a lethal complication in cancer patients. Major mechanisms of DIC involve oxidative stress in cardiomyocytes and hyperactivated immune response. Extracellular vesicles (EVs) mediate cell–cell communication during oxidative stress. However, functions of circulating EVs released after chronic DOXO exposure on cardiomyocytes and immune cells are still obscured. Herein, we developed a DIC in vivo model using male Wistar rats injected with 3 mg/kg DOXO for 6 doses within 30 days (18 mg/kg cumulative dose). One month after the last injection, the rats developed cardiotoxicity evidenced by increased BCL2-associated X protein and cleaved caspase-3 in heart tissues, along with N-terminal pro B-type natriuretic peptide in sera. Serum EVs were isolated by size exclusion chromatography. EV functions on H9c2 cardiomyocytes and NR8383 macrophages were evaluated. EVs from DOXO-treated rats (DOXO_EVs) attenuated ROS production via increased glutathione peroxidase-1 and catalase gene expression, and reduced hydrogen peroxide-induced cell death in cardiomyocytes. In contrast, DOXO_EVs induced ROS production, interleukin-6, and tumor necrosis factor-alpha, while suppressing arginase-1 gene expression in macrophages. These results suggested the pleiotropic roles of EVs against DIC, which highlight the potential role of EV-based therapy for DIC with a concern of its adverse effect on immune response.
