Pharmacogenetics of Chemotherapy-Induced Cardiotoxicity.

ABSTRACT: PURPOSE OF REVIEW:The goal of this review is to summarize current understanding of pharmacogenetics and pharmacogenomics in chemotherapy-induced cardiotoxicity. RECENT FINDINGS:Most of the studies rely on in vitro cytotoxic assays. There have been several smaller scale candidate gene approaches and a handful of genome-wide studies linking genetic variation to susceptibility to chemotherapy-induced cardiotoxicity. Currently, pharmacogenomic testing of all childhood cancer patients with an indication for doxorubicin or daunorubicin therapy for RARG rs2229774, SLC28A3 rs7853758, and UGT1A6*4 rs17863783 variants is recommended. There is no recommendation regarding testing in adults. There is clear evidence pointing to the role of pharmacogenetics and pharmacogenomics in cardiotoxicity susceptibility to chemotherapeutic agents. Larger scale studies are needed to further identify susceptibility markers and to develop pharmacogenomics-based risk profiling to improve quality of life and life expectancy in cancer survivors.

Project description:Many chemotherapy agents are toxic to the heart, such that increasing numbers of cancer survivors are now living with the potentially lethal cardiovascular consequences of their treatment. Earlier and more sensitive detection of chemotherapy-induced cardiotoxicity may allow improved treatment strategies and increase long-term survival. Lipophilic cation PET tracers may be suitable for early detection of cardiotoxicity. This study aimed to evaluate an 18F-labeled lipophilic phosphonium cation, [1-(2-18F-fluoroethyl),1H[1,2,3]triazole-4-ethylene]triphenylphosphonium bromide (18F-MitoPhos), as a cardiac imaging agent, comparing it with leading PET and SPECT lipophilic cationic tracers before further assessing its potential for imaging cardiotoxicity in an acute doxorubicin model. Methods: Cardiac uptake and response to decreased mitochondrial membrane potential of 18F-MitoPhos and 99mTc-sestamibi were tested in isolated perfused rat hearts. Baseline pharmacokinetic profiles of 18F-MitoPhos and 18F-fluorobenzyltriphenylphosphonium and their response to acute doxorubicin-induced cardiotoxicity were assessed in rats in vivo (10, 15, or 20 mg of doxorubicin per kilogram, intravenously, 48 h beforehand). Results: Cardiac retention of 18F-MitoPhos was more than double that of 99mTc-sestamibi in isolated perfused rat hearts. A favorable biodistribution of 18F-MitoPhos in vivo was observed, with heart-to-tissue ratios of 304 ± 186, 11.2 ± 1.2, and 3.8 ± 0.6 for plasma, liver, and lung, respectively (60 min). A significant dose-dependent loss of cardiac retention of 18F-MitoPhos was observed on doxorubicin treatment, with average cardiac SUV from 30 to 60 min (mean ± SD) decreasing from 3.5 ± 0.5 (control) to 1.8 ± 0.1 (doxorubicin, 20 mg/kg). Other assessed biomarkers showed no alterations. Conclusion: 18F-MitoPhos showed pharmacokinetic parameters suitable for cardiac imaging. A significant dose response of cardiac uptake to doxorubicin treatment was observed before detectable biomarker alterations. 18F-MitoPhos is therefore a promising tracer for imaging chemotherapy-induced cardiotoxicity. To our knowledge, this is the first demonstration of radiolabeled lipophilic cations being used for the PET imaging of chemotherapy-induced cardiotoxicity and indicates the potential application of these compounds in this area.
