Pirarubicin (THP) is one of the classic chemotherapy drugs for cancer treatment. It is often clinically limited because of its cardiotoxicity. The occurrence and development of THP-mediated chemotherapy-related cardiotoxicity (CRC) may be reversed by RING finger protein 10 (RNF10). This study was performed with the aim of evaluating the inhibitory effect of RNF10 on THP-mediated CRC and its molecular mechanism. In vivo, we found that the expression of RNF10 decreased in THP-induced CRC rats, accompanied by Meox2 inhibition and AP-1 activation, resulting in increased cardiomyocyte apoptosis. After small interfering RNA (siRNA) and lentivirus transfection (Lv) of RNF10 in vitro, the expression of RNF10, Meox2, and AP-1 proteins and the degree of cardiomyocyte apoptosis were detected. We found that overexpression of RNF10 in H9C2 cardiomyocytes significantly promoted Meox2 and inhibited AP-1, alleviated apoptosis, and showed further inhibitory activity on THP-induced cardiomyocyte toxicity. Silencing RNF10 showed the opposite result. Our study showed that RNF10 inhibited THP-induced CRC through the activity of Meox2 and AP-1 proteins. RNF10 may be the next drug target for the treatment of CRC and other related cardiovascular diseases.
吡柔比星(THP)是癌症治疗的经典化疗药物之一。由于其心脏毒性,临床上常受到限制。RING 指蛋白 10(RNF10)的存在可能逆转 THP 介导的化疗相关心脏毒性(CRC)的发生和发展。本研究旨在评估 RNF10 对 THP 介导的 CRC 的抑制作用及其分子机制。在体内,我们发现 RNF10 的表达在 THP 诱导的 CRC 大鼠中降低,伴随着 Meox2 抑制和 AP-1 激活,导致心肌细胞凋亡增加。在体外通过 RNF10 的小干扰 RNA(siRNA)和慢病毒转染(Lv)后,检测 RNF10、Meox2 和 AP-1 蛋白的表达和心肌细胞凋亡程度。我们发现,H9C2 心肌细胞中 RNF10 的过表达显著促进 Meox2 并抑制 AP-1,减轻细胞凋亡,并对 THP 诱导的心肌细胞毒性表现出进一步的抑制活性。沉默 RNF10 则显示出相反的结果。我们的研究表明,RNF10 通过 Meox2 和 AP-1 蛋白的活性抑制 THP 诱导的 CRC。RNF10 可能成为治疗 CRC 和其他相关心血管疾病的下一个药物靶点。
