Doxorubicin (DOX) is used to treat childhood and adult cancer. DOX treatment is associated with both acute and chronic cardiotoxicity. The cardiotoxic effects of DOX are cumulative, limiting its chemotherapeutic dose. Free radical generation and p53-dependent apoptosis are thought to contribute to DOX-induced cardiotoxicity. Adult transgenic (MHC-CB7) mice expressing cardiomyocyte-restricted dominant-interfering p53 and their non-transgenic (NON-TXG) littermates were treated with DOX (20 mg/kg cumulative dose). NON-TXG mice exhibited reduced left ventricular (LV) systolic function (pre-DOX Fractional Shortening, FS, = 61 ± 2%, post-DOX FS = 45 ± 2%, mean +/- SEM, p<0.008), reduced cardiac mass, and high levels of cardiomyocyte apoptosis 7 days after the initiation of DOX treatment. In contrast, DOX-treated MHC-CB7 mice exhibited normal LV systolic function (pre-DOX FS = 63 ± 2%, post-DOX FS = 60 ± 2%, p>0.008), normal cardiac mass, and low levels of cardiomyocyte apoptosis. Western blot analyses indicated mTOR signaling was inhibited in DOX-treated NON-TXG mice, but not in DOX-treated MHC-CB7 mice. Accordingly, transgenic mice with cardiomyocyte-restricted constitutively active mTOR expression (MHC-mTORca) were studied. LV systolic function (pre-DOX FS = 64 +/- 2%, post-DOX FS 60 +/- 3%, p>0.008) and cardiac mass were normal in DOX-treated MHC-mTORca mice, despite similar levels of cardiomyocyte apoptosis as seen in DOX-treated NON-TXG mice. These data suggest that DOX treatment induces acute cardiac dysfunction and reduces cardiac mass via p53-dependent inhibition of mTOR signaling, and that loss of myocardial mass, and not cardiomyocyte apoptosis, is the major contributor to acute DOX cardiotoxicity.
