Paroxetine mitigates cardiac remodelling by doxorubicin and increases survival
Doxorubicin (DOX) is an effective anticancer drug. However, its use is hampered by the development of very mortal cardiomyopathy. Here, we investigate whether the co-administration of the antidepressant paroxetine (P), known to exert beneficial cardiovascular effects, would provide effective cardiop...

Doxorubicin (DOX) is an effective anticancer drug. However, its use is hampered by the development of very mortal cardiomyopathy. Here, we investigate whether the co-administration of the antidepressant paroxetine (P), known to exert beneficial cardiovascular effects, would provide effective cardioprotection. Experiments were performed in male Wistar rats randomly assigned to control group (0.5 mL/kg 0.9% NaCl, i.v., n = 7), DOX group (DOX 5 mg /kg i.v., n = 23) and DOX+P group (DOX 5 mg/kg, i.v. plus P 10 mg/kg p.o. daily, beginning five days before DOX administration and during the follow-up period, n = 11). Rats′ body weight and echocardiography parameters were monitored before and after drug/vehicle administration. Cardiac histology was performed post-mortem, as well as beta1-adrenergic receptor (β1-AR), beta2-adrenergic receptor (β2-AR), G protein-coupled receptor kinases type 2 (GRK2), type 3 (GRK3), beta-arrestin 1, and beta-arrestin 2 gene expression using RT-qPCR. DOX-treated rats exhibited bad general condition, adynamia, loss of body weight, and low survival. Echocardiography revealed two phenotypes: cardiomyopathy with left ventricular (LV) hypertrophy (DOX-HCM) and cardiomyopathy with LV dilation (DOX-DCM).
