Anthracyclines are the most effective drugs available in the treatment of neoplastic diseases. However, they have profound consequences on the structure and function of the heart causing with time a cardiomyopathy that leads to congestive heart failure. Administration of doxorubicin (DOXO) in rats led to a dilated myopathy, heart failure and death. To test whether DOXO effects on cardiac anatomy and function were mediated by alterations in cardiac progenitor cells (CPCs), these cells were exposed to the anthracycline which increased the formation of reactive oxygen species (ROS), DNA damage, expression of p53, telomere attrition and apoptosis. Additionally, DOXO resulted in cell cycle arrest at the G2/M transition leading to a significant decrease in CPC growth. DOXO elicited multiple molecular adaptations; the massive apoptotic death occurring in CPCs in the presence of the anthracycline imposed on the surviving CPC pool the activation of several pathways aiming at the preservation of the primitive state, cell division, lineage differentiation and repair of damaged DNA. To establish whether delivery of syngeneic progenitor cells opposed the progression of DOXO cardiotoxicity, EGFP-labeled CPCs were injected in the failing myocardium and this treatment promoted regeneration of cardiomyocytes and vascular structures, improving ventricular performance and animal survival. Our results raise the possibility that autologous CPCs can be obtained before antineoplastic drugs are given to cancer patients and subsequently administrated to individuals who are particularly sensitive to the cardiotoxicity of these agents for prevention and/or management of heart failure.
