Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Anticancer drug-induced heart failure impacts the quality of life and life expectancy of cancer patients, and remains a clinical and societal issue, but the mechanisms of cardiomyocyte injury remains unclear. In the present study, focusing on the transcriptional regulation of the BNP gene, the DNA damage response of cardiomyocytes induced by anticancer drugs and the role of epigenetic modifications in gene expression changes were investigated. The following were revealed: 1) Anticancer drug treatment resulted in cardiomyocyte DNA damage and suppression of ventricular BNP gene expression; 2) The suppression of BNP gene expression was accompanied by increased DNA methylation of the promoter region; 3) In mice deficient in cardiomyocyte-specific DNA methyltransferase, BNP gene suppression by anticancer drugs was not observed. During DNA damage in cardiomyocytes caused by anticancer drugs, the BNP gene expression is regulated by the DNA methylation modification system.
