阿霉素与脓毒症所致心肌损伤的机制:差异性与趋同性

Mechanism Exploration of Doxorubicin and Sepsis Induced Myocardial Injury: Differences and Convergences

  • 摘要: 阿霉素(doxorubicin, DOX)的心脏毒性与脓毒症心肌损伤(sepsis induced myocardial injury, SIMI)是化疗患者面临的重要临床挑战,其共同的病理基础为氧化应激与线粒体功能障碍。铁死亡是一种铁依赖性、由脂质过氧化驱动的新型调节性细胞死亡方式,近年来被证实深度参与DOX所致心脏毒性及脂多糖(lipopolysaccharide, LPS)诱导的SIMI。本文系统梳理了DOX与脓毒症所致心肌损伤的机制,认为铁死亡为二者共同的核心环节。DOX通过其醌基团的氧化还原循环及与线粒体心磷脂的高亲和力蓄积,诱导线粒体内活性氧爆发并抑制氧化物酶4(glutathione peroxidase 4,GPX4)活性;LPS则通过激活模式识别其受体及相关炎症信号通路,引发炎症风暴与线粒体功能失调。二者均可干扰半胱氨酸-谷胱甘肽(glutathione, GSH)-GPX4这一核心调控轴,协同促进心肌细胞发生铁死亡。此外,表观遗传调控在DOX与LPS诱导的心肌细胞铁死亡过程中亦发挥关键作用,有望成为重要的干预靶点。深入揭示DOX与脓毒症协同损伤中的铁死亡机制及其表观遗传调控网络,对于开发减轻化疗相关心脏毒性、改善合并感染的肿瘤患者预后的新型防治策略具有重要意义。

     

    Abstract: Doxorubicin (DOX)-induced cardiotoxicity and sepsis-induced myocardial injury (SIMI) represent significant clinical challenges in patients undergoing chemotherapy, sharing a common pathological basis of oxidative stress and mitochondrial dysfunction. Ferroptosis, an iron-dependent form of regulated cell death driven by lipid peroxidation, has recently been shown to play a critical role in DOX-induced cardiotoxicity and lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced SIMI. This article systematically reviews the mechanisms underlying myocardial injury caused by DOX and sepsis, identifying ferroptosis as a central common pathway. DOX triggers a burst of reactive oxygen species within mitochondria and inhibits glutathione peroxidase 4 (GPX4) activity through redox cycling of its quinone group and high-affinity accumulation in mitochondrial cardiolipin. LPS, by activating pattern recognition receptors and related inflammatory signaling pathways, provokes a cytokine storm and mitochondrial dysfunction. Both can disrupt the core regulatory axis of cysteine-glutathione (GSH)-GPX4, synergistically promoting ferroptosis in cardiomyocytes. Moreover, epigenetic regulation plays a key role in DOX- and LPS-induced cardiomyocyte ferroptosis and may serve as a promising therapeutic target. A deeper understanding of the ferroptosis mechanism and its epigenetic regulatory network in the synergistic injury induced by DOX and sepsis is of great importance for developing novel strategies to mitigate chemotherapy-related cardiotoxicity and improve outcomes in cancer patients with concurrent infections.
