Abstract

Despite exhibiting cardiotoxicity, doxorubicin (DOX) is widely used for cancer treatments. Cardiac fibroblasts (CFs) are important in the pathogenesis of heart failure. This necessitates the study of the effect of DOX on CFs. The impairment of calcium (Ca2+) homeostasis is a common mechanism of heart failure. Store-operated Ca2+ entry (SOCE) is a receptor-regulated Ca2⁺ entry pathway that maintains calcium balance by sensing reduced calcium stores in the endoplasmic reticulum. ORAI1, a calcium channel protein and the most important component of SOCE, is highly expressed in human cardiac fibroblasts (HCFs). It is upregulated in CFs from failing ventricles. However, whether ORAI1 in HCFs is increased and/or plays a role in DOX-induced cardiotoxicity remains unknown. In this study, we aimed to elucidate the relationship between ORAI1/SOCE and DOX-induced heart failure. Induction of apoptosis by DOX was characterized in HCFs. Apoptosis and cell cycle analyses were performed by fluorescence-activated cell sorting (FACS). Reactive oxygen species (ROS) production was measured using fluorescence. YM-58483 was used as an ORAI1/SOCE inhibitor. ORAI1-knockdown cells were established by RNA interference. In vivo experiments were performed by intraperitoneally injecting YM-58483 and DOX into mice. We first demonstrated that DOX significantly increased the protein expression level of p53 in HCFs by western blotting. FACS analysis revealed that DOX increased early apoptosis and induced cell cycle arrest in the G2 phase in fibroblasts. DOX also increased ROS production. DOX significantly increased the expression level of ORAI1 in CFs. Both YM-58483 and ORAI1 gene knockdown attenuated DOX-induced apoptosis. Similarly, YM-58483 attenuated cell cycle arrest in the G2 phase, and ORAI1 knockdown attenuated DOX-induced ROS production in HCFs. In the animal experiment, YM-58483 attenuated DOX-induced apoptosis. In HCFs, ORAI1/SOCE regulates p53 expression and plays an important role in DOX-induced cardiotoxicity. ORAI1 may serve as a new target for preventing DOX-induced heart failure.
