AimsDoxorubicin (DOX), a highly effective anthracycline chemotherapeutic agent, is limited by its dose-dependent cardiotoxicity. This study investigates the cardioprotective mechanisms of cardiac adriamycin responsive protein (CARP) and its underlying mechanisms in DOX-induced cardiotoxicity (DIC). Methods and resultsCardiac-specific CARP transgenic and wild-type mice were subjected to a DIC model. Cardiac function was assessed via echocardiography, histopathology, and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). In vitro, DOX-treated cardiomyocytes overexpressing CARP were analyzed for oxidative stress (ROS levels), mitochondrial function (mtDNA copy number etc.), and mitochondrial-related proteins (Western blot). CARP-NRF1 interaction was validated by co-immunoprecipitation (Co-IP), and NRF1 siRNA knockdown was performed to assess CARPs role in mitochondrial homeostasis. CARP overexpression markedly alleviated DOX-induced cardiac dysfunction and mitochondrial damage, restoring mitochondrial dynamics and mitophagy. Mechanistically, CARP directly interacted with NRF1, and NRF1 knockdown ameliorated CARP-mediated cardioprotection in DIC. ConclusionCARP safeguards against DIC by maintaining mitochondrial homeostasis via NRF1 signaling, positioning it as a promising therapeutic target for DOX-induced cardiomyopathy.

"Similar papers" are the closest papers from that journal in the model's embedding space. They show what the match is built on, but the ranking comes mostly from a classifier over the whole training set, not from these examples alone.
