Summary:
Antitumor drugs, such as doxorubicin, are still widely used in anti-cancer treatments even though the cardiotoxicity is a significant cause of heart failure. In this paper, the authors explored the role of SNX17 in DOX-induced cardiotoxicity. Evaluation of SNX17 interference in vivo and in vitro (using the Maestro microelectrode array platform) with DOX-treatment showed worsened damage and increased susceptibility to DOX-induced cardiotoxicity. The pathway affected exacerbated DOX-induced systolic dysfunction. Overall, the results found that SNX17 plays a protective role in DOX-induced cardiotoxicity.
