Being a broad-spectrum anticancer drug, doxorubicin is indispensable for clinical treatment. Unexpectedly, its cardiotoxic side effects have proven to be a formidable obstacle. Numerous studies are currently devoted to elucidating the pathological mechanisms underlying doxorubicin-induced cardiotoxicity. Nrf2 has always played a crucial role in oxidative stress, but numerous studies have demonstrated that it also plays a vital part in pathological mechanisms like cell death and inflammation. Numerous studies on the pathological mechanisms associated with doxorubicin-induced cardiotoxicity demonstrate this. Several clinical drugs, natural and synthetic compounds, as well as small molecule RNAs have been demonstrated to prevent doxorubicin-induced cardiotoxicity by activating Nrf2. Consequently, this study emphasizes the introduction of Nrf2, discusses the role of Nrf2 in doxorubicin-induced cardiotoxicity, and concludes with a summary of the therapeutic modalities targeting Nrf2 to ameliorate doxorubicin-induced cardiotoxicity, highlighting the potential value of Nrf2 in doxorubicin-induced cardiotoxicity.
作为一种广谱抗癌药物,阿霉素在临床治疗中不可或缺。出乎意料的是,其心脏毒性副作用已被证明是一个巨大的障碍。目前有许多研究致力于阐明阿霉素诱导心脏毒性的病理机制。Nrf2在氧化应激中一直起着关键作用,但大量研究表明,它在细胞死亡和炎症等病理机制中也起着至关重要的作用。关于阿霉素诱导心脏毒性相关病理机制的众多研究证明了这一点。几种临床药物、天然和合成化合物以及小分子RNA已被证明可通过激活Nrf2来预防阿霉素诱导的心脏毒性。因此,本研究着重介绍Nrf2,讨论Nrf2在阿霉素诱导心脏毒性中的作用,并总结针对Nrf2改善阿霉素诱导心脏毒性的治疗方式,突出Nrf2在阿霉素诱导心脏毒性中的潜在价值。
