We thank Drs Shi et al for their interest in our article. 1 We appreciate their comments and discussion. Anthracyclines such as doxorubicin are used widely for treating human cancers; their propensity for inducing heart failure is a well-established but poorly understood phenomenon. TRAF2 (tumor necrosis factor receptorassociated factor 2), which serves as a platform for NF-κB (nuclear factor kappa-light-chain-enhancer of activated B cells) activation, was degraded in cardiac tissue of patients with cancer and mouse and human induced pluripotent stem cell–derived cardiac myocytes after doxorubicin treatment, resulting in widespread cell death and cardiac dysfunction. Conversely, gain of function of TRAF2 suppressed the cardiotoxic effects of doxorubicin in vitro and in vivo. 1 Nevertheless, the net effect of TRAF2 on the antineoplastic properties of doxorubicin was not investigated in this study and warrants future investigation in tumor-bearing mouse models. Optimal therapies for doxorubicin cardiotoxicity either would not affect or would enhance doxorubicin antineoplastic efficacy. Whereas some studies on TRAF2 suggest its oncogenic potential, in other contexts TRAF2 can act as a tumor suppressor. 2 Hence, the effect of TRAF2 may be tumor-specific.With respect to in vitro and in vivo dosing of doxorubicin, there are several challenges in recapitulating the exact dose and duration of doxorubicin treatment that patients with cancer experience in vivo (which varies with tumor type). In cell culture, it becomes even more challenging because of the acute nature of maintaining primary cardiac myocytes viable in culture, as compared with chronic in vivo studies lasting weeks, or the clinical manifestations that can take years to develop. Other issues include assumptions related to volume of distribution and pharmacokinetics in patients and differences in the stability of the drug itself as used clinically
