Co-administration of resveratrol with doxorubicin in young mice attenuates detrimental late-occurring cardiovascular changes.

ABSTRACT:

Aims

Doxorubicin (DOX) is among the most effective chemotherapies used in paediatric cancer patients. However, the clinical utility of DOX is offset by its well-known cardiotoxicity, which often does not appear until later in life. Since hypertension significantly increases the risk of late-onset heart failure in childhood cancer survivors, we investigated whether juvenile DOX exposure impairs the ability to adapt to angiotensin II (Ang II)-induced hypertension later in life and tested a treatment that could prevent this.

Methods and results

Five-week-old male mice were administered a low dose of DOX (4?mg/kg) or saline once a week for 3?weeks and then allowed to recover for 5?weeks. Following the 5-week recovery period, mice were infused with Ang II or saline for 2?weeks. In another cohort, mice were fed chow containing 0.4% resveratrol 1?week before, during, and 1?week after the DOX administrations. One week after the last DOX administration, p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) was activated in hearts of DOX-treated mice demonstrating molecular signs of cardiac stress; yet, there was no change in cardiac function between groups. However, DOX-treated mice failed to develop compensatory cardiac hypertrophy in response to Ang II-induced hypertension later in life. Of importance, mice receiving DOX with resveratrol co-administration displayed normalization in p38 MAPK activation in the heart and a restored capacity for cardiac hypertrophy in response to Ang II-induced hypertension.

Conclusion

We have developed a juvenile mouse model of DOX-induced cardiotoxicity that displays no immediate overt physiological dysfunction; but, leads to an impaired ability of the heart to adapt to hypertension later in life. We also show that co-administration of resveratrol during DOX treatment was sufficient to normalize molecular markers of cardiotoxicity and restore the ability of the heart to undergo adaptive remodelling in response to hypertension later in life.

Project description:Communication with young children is often multimodal in nature, involving, for example, language and actions. The simultaneous presentation of information from both domains may boost language learning by highlighting the connection between an object and a word, owing to temporal overlap in the presentation of multimodal input. However, the overlap is not merely temporal but can also covary in the extent to which particular actions co-occur with particular words and objects, e.g. carers typically produce a hopping action when talking about rabbits and a snapping action for crocodiles. The frequency with which actions and words co-occurs in the presence of the referents of these words may also impact young children's word learning. We, therefore, examined the extent to which consistency in the co-occurrence of particular actions and words impacted children's learning of novel word-object associations. Children (18 months, 30 months and 36-48 months) and adults were presented with two novel objects and heard their novel labels while different actions were performed on these objects, such that the particular actions and word-object pairings always co-occurred (Consistent group) or varied across trials (Inconsistent group). At test, participants saw both objects and heard one of the labels to examine whether participants recognized the target object upon hearing its label. Growth curve models revealed that 18-month-olds did not learn words for objects in either condition, and 30-month-old and 36- to 48-month-old children learned words for objects only in the Consistent condition, in contrast to adults who learned words for objects independent of the actions presented. Thus, consistency in the multimodal input influenced word learning in early childhood but not in adulthood. In terms of a dynamic systems account of word learning, our study shows how multimodal learning settings interact with the child's perceptual abilities to shape the learning experience.

Project description:Introduction: According to the statistics, vascular injury occurs during the onset of diabetic changes after the production of several byproducts. Many authorities have focused to find an alternative therapy for diabetic patients. In this study, we investigated the therapeutic effects of natural polyphenol like resveratrol on human endothelial cells exposed to malondialdehyde for 48 hours. Methods: Human Umbilical Vein Endothelial Cells were randomly classified into four groups;control, malondialdehyde (2.5 mM), resveratrol (100 μM), and cells received the combined regime for 48 hours. Cell viability was determined by 3-(4, 5-dimethyl thiazol-2-yl) 2, 5-diphenyl-tetrazoliumbromide (MTT) assay. Griess reaction was performed to measure the content of Nitric oxide (NO).Apoptosis was studied by using real-time polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) and western blotting assays. Levels of receptor tyrosine kinases like VEGFR-1, -2, Tie-1, and -2 were analyzed by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay(ELISA). The affinity of resveratrol and malondialdehyde to serum albumin was measured by Surface Plasmon Resonance Assay. Any changes in chromatin remodeling were detected by PCR array analysis. Results: Resveratrol reduced cytotoxicity and NO content inside cells induced by malondialdehyde(MDA) (P < 0.05). Endothelial cell apoptosis was decreased by the reduction of pro-apoptotic factor Bax and increase of Bcl-2 following the incubation with resveratrol (P < 0.05). MDA-induced receptor tyrosine kinases increase was inhibited by resveratrol and reached near-to-normal levels (P < 0.05).Surface Plasmon Resonance revealed a higher affinity of resveratrol to albumin compared to the malondialdehyde-albumin complex. Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) array revealed the potency of resveratrol in chromatin remodeling following the treatment with malondialdehyde (P < 0.05). Conclusion: Based on our findings, resveratrol has the potential to decrease diabetic vascular injury induced by lipid byproducts such as MDA.
