Sarmentosin alleviates doxorubicin-induced cardiotoxicity and ferroptosis via the p62-Keap1-Nrf2 pathway

Doxorubicin (Dox) is extensively used as an antitumor agent, but its severe cardiotoxicity significantly limits its clinical use. Current treatments for Dox-induced cardiotoxicity are inadequate, necessitating alternative solutions. This study evaluated the effects of sarmentosin, a compound from Se...

description Doxorubicin (Dox) is extensively used as an antitumor agent, but its severe cardiotoxicity significantly limits its clinical use. Current treatments for Dox-induced cardiotoxicity are inadequate, necessitating alternative solutions. This study evaluated the effects of sarmentosin, a compound from Sedum sarmentosum, on Dox-induced cardiotoxicity and dysfunction. Sarmentosin was administered as a pretreatment to both mice and H9c2 cells before Dox exposure. Subsequently, markers of Dox-induced cardiotoxicity and ferroptosis in serum and cell supernatants were measured. Western blot analysis was utilized to detect levels of ferroptosis, oxidative stress, and autophagy proteins. Additionally, echocardiography, hematoxylin–eosin staining, ROS detection, and immunofluorescence techniques were employed to support our findings. Results demonstrated that sarmentosin significantly inhibited iron accumulation, lipid peroxidation, and oxidative stress, thereby reducing Dox-induced ferroptosis and cardiotoxicity in C57BL/6 mice and H9c2 cells. The mechanism involved the activation of autophagy and the Nrf2 signaling pathway. These findings suggest that sarmentosin may prevent Dox-induced cardiotoxicity by mitigating ferroptosis. The study underscores the potential of compounds like sarmentosin in treating Dox-induced cardiotoxicity.
