Rationale

Doxorubicin is one of the most potent antitumor agents available; however, its clinical use is restricted because it poses a risk of severe cardiotoxicity. Previous work has established that CircITCH (circular RNA ITCH [E3 ubiquitin-protein ligase]) is a broad-spectrum tumor-suppressive circular RNA and that its host gene, ITCH (E3 ubiquitin protein ligase), is involved in doxorubicin-induced cardiotoxicity (DOXIC). Whether CircITCH plays a role in DOXIC remains unknown.

Objective

We aimed to dissect the role of CircITCH in DOXIC and further decipher its potential mechanisms.

Methods and results

Circular RNA sequencing was performed to screen the potentially involved circRNAs in DOXI pathogenesis. Quantitative polymerase chain reaction and RNA in situ hybridization revealed that CircITCH was downregulated in doxorubicin-treated human-induced pluripotent stem cell-derived cardiomyocytes (hiPSC-CMs) as well as in the autopsy specimens from cancer patients who suffered from doxorubicin-induced cardiomyopathy. Cell death/viability assays, detection of cardiomyocyte necrosis markers, microelectrode array, and cardiomyocyte functional assays revealed that CircITCH ameliorated doxorubicin-induced cardiomyocyte injury and dysfunction. Detection of cellular/mitochondrial oxidative stress and DNA damage markers verified that CircITCH alleviated cellular/mitochondrial oxidative stress and DNA damage induced by doxorubicin. RNA pull-down assays, Ago2 immunoprecipitation and double fluorescent in situ hybridization identified miR-330-5p as a direct target of CircITCH. Moreover, CircITCH was found to function by acting as an endogenous sponge that sequestered miR-330-5p. Bioinformatic analysis, luciferase reporter assays, and quantitative polymerase chain reaction showed that SIRT6 (sirtuin 6), BIRC5 (baculoviral IAP repeat containing 5, Survivin), and ATP2A2 (ATPase sarcoplasmic/endoplasmic reticulum Ca2+ transporting 2, SERCA2a [SR Ca2+-ATPase 2]) were direct targets of miR-330-5p and that they were regulated by the CircITCH/miR-330-5p axis in DOXIC. Further experiments demonstrated that CircITCH-mediated alleviation of DOXIC was dependent on the interactions between miR-330-5p and the 3'-UTRs of SIRT6, BIRC5, and ATP2A2 mRNA. Finally, AAV9 (adeno-associated virus serotype 9) vector-based overexpression of the well-conserved CircITCH partly prevented DOXIC in mice.

Conclusions

CircITCH represents a novel therapeutic target for DOXIC because it acts as a natural sponge of miR-330-5p, thereby upregulating SIRT6, Survivin and SERCA2a to alleviate doxorubicin-induced cardiomyocyte injury and dysfunction."xsd:string
