      Background:
      Adriamycin (ADR), a potent anticancer chemotherapeutic agent, is used to treat a variety of human neoplasms. However, its clinical use is hampered by severe side effects including cardiotoxicity. It has been reported that ADR-induced cardiotoxicity is related to myocardial oxidative stress, disruption of cellular and mitochondrial Ca[2+] homeostasis and DNA damage. Nevertheless, the remedy for ADR cardiotoxicity is still not developed. Here we describe the effect of NAD[+]/NADH modulation by NQO1 enzymatic action on ADR-induced cardiotoxicity in mice.

      Method:
      C57BL/6 male mice were intraperitoneally injected with ADR. Before and after exposure to ADR, the mice were orally administrated with WK0202, a substrate of NQO1, (20 mg/kg body weight of mice). Cardiac biomarkers (CPK, Trop I, LDH and SGOT) in plasma levels, oxidative biomarkers and mRNA levels of pro-inflammatory cytokines were determined to compare cardiac toxicity of each experimental group.C57BL/6 male mice were intraperitoneally injected with ADR.

Cardiac biomarkers (CPK, Trop I, LDH and SGOT) in plasma levels, oxidative biomarkers and mRNA levels of pro-inflammatory cytokines were determined to compare cardiac toxicity of each experimental group.

      Result:
      Cardiac biomarkers in sera, oxidative biomarkers, and mRNA levels of pro-inflammatory cytokines were significantly increased in ADR-treated mice. However, these increases were significantly alleviated by WK0202. We also demonstrated that the downfall in SIRT1 and SIRT3 activities is critically involved in ADR-induced cardiotoxicity through acetylation of NF-κB p65 and p53. However, increase of NAD[+]/NADH by WK0202 through NQO1 enzymatic action attenuated ADR-induced cardiotoxicity through recovery of SIRT1 and SIRT3 activities and subsequent deacetylation of NF-κB p65 and p53. .

      Conclusion:
      WK0202 has a protective effect against ADR-induced acute cardiotoxicity through NQO1 enzymatic action. Therefore, WK0202 might be a new therapeutic option for preventing chemotherapy-associated side effects.
