Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Cardiovascular diseases and cancer remain the two leading causes of morbidity and mortality worldwide. Better diagnostics and therapeutic tools in cancer management led to increased long-term survival rates among cancer patients. The chronic side effects of cancer therapy frequently aggravate age-related cardiovascular risk factors, leading to late onco-cardiologic complications, such as chronic heart failure in long-term cancer survivors. In addition, several studies showed that localized tumors could affect heart function and result in pathologic cardiac remodeling before the beginning of oncologic treatments. The severity and relevance of cardiovascular risk vary widely depending on the cancer type and cancer treatment regimens. Although the cardiovascular effects of antineoplastic treatment options, including radiotherapy, chemotherapy, and immunotherapy, are receiving more attention, little is known about successful methods for preventing chronic cardiovascular complications in long-term cancer survivors.

The present Special Issue aims to collect and document new findings in the molecular and cellular mechanisms of chronic heart failure and cardiac remodeling induced by anticancer agents, radiotherapy, or tumors. Studies that investigate the effects of pharmacologic agents on the development of anticancer treatments-induced chronic heart failure are welcome to promote and support their application in heart failure therapy.

We invite you to submit original basic research or review articles on the topic of onco-cardiologic aspects of chronic heart failure, with a special focus on novel molecular and cellular mechanisms and pharmacologic treatment options.

Manuscript Submission Information

Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.

Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Cells is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.

Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2700 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.

Doxorubicin (DOX) is commonly used in cancer treatment but associated with cardiotoxicity. Pyridoxamine (PM), a vitamin B6 derivative, could be a cardioprotectant. This study investigated the effect of PM on DOX cardiotoxicity and DOX antitumor effectiveness. Sprague Dawley rats were treated intravenously with DOX (2 mg/kg/week) or saline over eight weeks. Two other groups received PM via oral intake (1 g/L in water bottles) next to DOX or saline. Echocardiography was performed after eight weeks. PM treatment significantly attenuated the DOX-induced reduction in left ventricular ejection fraction (72 ± 2% vs. 58 ± 3% in DOX; p < 0.001) and increase in left ventricular end-systolic volume (0.24 ± 0.02 µL/cm2 vs. 0.38 ± 0.03 µL/cm2 in DOX; p < 0.0001). Additionally, LA7 tumor cells were exposed to DOX, PM, or DOX and PM for 24 h, 48 h, and 72 h. Cell viability, proliferation, cytotoxicity, and apoptosis were assessed. DOX significantly reduced LA7 cell viability and proliferation (p < 0.0001) and increased cytotoxicity (p < 0.05) and cleaved caspase-3 (p < 0.001). Concomitant PM treatment did not alter the DOX effect on LA7 cells. In conclusion, PM attenuated DOX-induced cardiomyopathy in vivo without affecting the antitumor effect of DOX in vitro, highlighting PM as a promising cardioprotectant for DOX-induced cardiotoxicity.
