Abstract

Doxorubicin (Dox)-induced cardiotoxicity in patients with Cancer, mediated primarily through cardiomyocyte Ferroptosis and mitochondrial dysfunction, presents both life-threatening risks and significant limitations to Dox chemotherapeutic efficacy. The study investigated the therapeutic potential and mechanistic role of Maresin1-a novel proinflammatory regression mediator (SPM) -in Dox-induced cardiomyocyte Ferroptosis. We employed both in vitro and in vivo models: H9C2 cells and human induced pluripotent stem cell-derived cardiomyocytes (hiPSC-CMs) for in vitro Ferroptosis modeling and C57BL/6 mice for in vivo validation. Our key findings showed that Maresin1 in Dox-treated cardiomyocytes attenuated lipid peroxidation, upregulated the anti-ferroptosis-related protein expression via the NRF2/GPX4 axis and mitigated mitochondrial structural and functional impairment. However, inhibition of NRF2 signaling abolished the cardioprotective effects of Maresin1 against Dox-induced Ferroptosis. In conclusion, Maresin1 preserved cardiac function by preventing Dox-associated cardiomyocyte Ferroptosis and mitochondrial impairment through the NRF2/GPX4 axis activation.
