Apolipoprotein M (ApoM) binds sphingosine-1-phosphate (S1P) and is inversely associated with mortality in human heart failure (HF). Here, we show that anthracyclines such as doxorubicin (Dox) reduce circulating ApoM mice humans, patients anthracycline-induced failure, heterozygosity increases Dox-induced mortality. In the setting of Dox stress, our studies suggest can help sustain myocardial autophagic flux a post-transcriptional manner, attenuate cardiotoxicity, prevent lysosomal injury.
Coronary artery disease (CAD) is an immune-mediated in which CCR2 attracts classical, intermediate, and non-classical monocytes to the arterial intima where they differentiate macrophages. Balance between pro-inflammatory M1 anti-inflammatory M2 macrophages contributes CAD prevention. Moderate vigorous intensity physical activity (MVPA) elicits immune response reduces incidence of CAD, however, impact prior MVPA on monocyte subset expression macrophage polarization following acute exercise unknown.
Abstract Purpose: Among patients with breast cancer undergoing radiotherapy, posttreatment cardiovascular disease and worsened quality of life (QoL) are leading causes morbidity mortality. To overcome these negative radiotherapy effects, this prospective, randomized clinical trial pilots a 12-week Stay on Track exercise diet intervention for overweight nonmetastatic whole-breast radiotherapy. Experimental Design: The group (n = 22) participated in three personal dietary counseling sessions,...
Radiation therapy remains part of the standard care for breast, lung, and esophageal cancers. While radiotherapy improves local control survival, radiation-induced heart dysfunction is a common side effect thoracic radiotherapy. Cardiovascular can also result from non-therapeutic total body radiation exposures. Numerous studies have evaluated relationship between dose to cardiotoxicity, but relatively little known about whether there are differences based on biological sex in (RIHD).We male...
