Doxorubicin (DOX) is an antitumor drug, associated with cardiomyopathy. Strategies to address DOX-cardiomyopathy are scarce. Here, we identify the effect of forskolin (FSK) on DOX-induced-asymmetric-dimethylarginine (ADMA) accumulation in monocytoid cells. DOX-challenge led to i) augmented cytotoxicity, reactive-oxygen-species (ROS) production and methyltransferase-enzyme-activity identified as ADMA and s-adenosylhomocysteine (SAH) accumulation (SAH-A). However, except cytotoxicity, other DOX effects were decreased by metformin and FSK. FSK, did not alter the DOX-induced cytotoxic effect, but, decreased SAH-A by >50% and a combination of three drugs restored physiological methyltransferase-enzyme-activity. Together, protective effect of FSK against DOX-induced SAH-A is associated with mitigated methyltransferase-activity, a one-of-a-kind report.
阿霉素(DOX)是一种抗肿瘤药物,与心肌病有关。解决阿霉素诱导的心肌病的策略很少。在这里,我们确定了福斯高林(FSK)对阿霉素诱导的单核细胞样细胞中不对称二甲基精氨酸(ADMA)积累的影响。阿霉素刺激导致:i)细胞毒性增强、活性氧(ROS)产生增加以及被鉴定为ADMA和S-腺苷同型半胱氨酸(SAH)积累(SAH-A)的甲基转移酶活性增强。然而,除细胞毒性外,二甲双胍和FSK可降低阿霉素的其他作用。FSK并未改变阿霉素诱导的细胞毒性作用,但使SAH-A降低了50%以上,三种药物联合使用可恢复生理甲基转移酶活性。总之,FSK对阿霉素诱导的SAH-A的保护作用与甲基转移酶活性降低有关,这是一份独一无二的报告。
