Abstract
Although anthracyclines are important anticancer agents, their use is limited due to various adverse effects, particularly cardiac toxicity. Mechanisms underlying anthracycline-induced cardiotoxicity (AIC) are complex. Given the irreplaceable role of anthracyclines in treatment of malignancies and other serious diseases, early monitoring of AIC is paramount. In recent years, multiple studies have investigated various biomarkers for early detection of AIC. Currently, the two most common are cardiac troponin and B-type natriuretic peptide. In addition, a range of other molecules, including RNAs, myeloperoxidase (MPO), C-reactive protein (CRP), various genes, and others, also play roles in AIC prediction. Unfortunately, current research indicates a need to validate their sensitivity and specificity of these biomarkers especially in large study populations. In this review, we summarize the mechanisms and potential biomarkers of AIC, although some remain preliminary.
期刊介绍:
The Official Journal of the International Federation of Clinical Chemistry and Laboratory Medicine (IFCC)
Clinica Chimica Acta is a high-quality journal which publishes original Research Communications in the field of clinical chemistry and laboratory medicine, defined as the diagnostic application of chemistry, biochemistry, immunochemistry, biochemical aspects of hematology, toxicology, and molecular biology to the study of human disease in body fluids and cells.
The objective of the journal is to publish novel information leading to a better understanding of biological mechanisms of human diseases, their prevention, diagnosis, and patient management. Reports of an applied clinical character are also welcome. Papers concerned with normal metabolic processes or with constituents of normal cells or body fluids, such as reports of experimental or clinical studies in animals, are only considered when they are clearly and directly relevant to human disease. Evaluation of commercial products have a low priority for publication, unless they are novel or represent a technological breakthrough. Studies dealing with effects of drugs and natural products and studies dealing with the redox status in various diseases are not within the journal''s scope. Development and evaluation of novel analytical methodologies where applicable to diagnostic clinical chemistry and laboratory medicine, including point-of-care testing, and topics on laboratory management and informatics will also be considered. Studies focused on emerging diagnostic technologies and (big) data analysis procedures including digitalization, mobile Health, and artificial Intelligence applied to Laboratory Medicine are also of interest.
