Doxorubicin cardiotoxicity and interleukin-1

Abstract

The major factor contributing to doxorubicin (DXR)-induced cardiotoxicity is the insufficiency of antioxidant defense mechanisms. As a model of acute cardiotoxicity with DXR, ten-week-old golden hamsters were given DXR (5 mg/kg) intravenously, and the toxicity was investigated by monitoring ECG changes. Complete A-V block and cardiac arrest on the ECG were observed in DXR-treated hamsters. DXR-induced edema and fragmentation of myofibrils were observed by electron-micrograph. Pretreatment with interleukin-1β(10 or 1μg/body) 12 or 24 hrs before prevented these changes, but pretreatment with tumor necrosis factorα had no effect.
