Anthracycline antitumor drug doxorubicin (DOX) induces severe cardiotoxicity. Deubiquitinating enzymes (DUBs) are crucial for protein stability and function and play a significant role in cardiac pathophysiology. By comparing RNA sequencing datasets and conducting functional screening, we determined that Myb-like, SWIRM, and MPN domains 1 (MYSM1) i...

Dysregulated protein degradation via the ubiquitin-proteasomal pathway can induce numerous disease phenotypes, including cancer, neurodegeneration, and diabetes. While small molecule-based targeted protein degradation (TPD) and targeted protein stabilization (TPS) platforms can address this dysregulation, they rely on structured and stable binding...

Breast cancer is the leading cause of cancer-related death in women worldwide, and its developmental mechanisms involve complex factors. Recent studies have shown that ferroptosis is closely related to the occurrence and progression of breast cancer.

... Besides cancer, the regulation of ubiquitination on ferroptosis also plays a role in the treatment of other diseases. As a deubiquitinating enzyme, mysm1 regulates trim 21 stability and mediates doxorubicin (DOX) -induced ferroptosis in cardiomyocytes, suggesting that cardiomyocyte specific knockdown of mysm1 may be an attractive therapeutic strategy for this disease (82). The latest research found that Hyperoside, a bioactive compound extracted from traditional Chinese medicine, promotes the translocation of Nrf2 to the nucleus by inhibiting ubiquitin mediated degradation of Nrf2, resulting in the up regulation of the expression of anti ferroptosis genes, and inhibiting ferroptosis in the treatment of sepsis induced acute lung injury (83). ...

As a new type of programmed cell death, ferroptosis is characterized by iron metabolism disorder and reactive oxygen species (ROS) accumulation, and is involved in regulating the occurrence and development of cancer cells. Especially in the field of liver cancer treatment, ferroptosis shows great potential because it can induce tumor cell death. Ubiquitination is a process of protein post-translational modification, which can affect the stability of proteins and regulate the progress of ferroptosis. This article reviews the research progress of ubiquitination modification of molecules related to ferroptosis pathway in the regulation of liver cancer, providing a new strategy for the treatment of liver cancer.

Doxorubicin is an anthracycline chemotherapeutic that is widely used for treating various malignancies, including breast cancer, lymphomas, and sarcomas. Despite its efficacy, its clinical utility is limited by a well-documented risk of cardiotoxicity, which may manifest acutely or chronically. Doxorubicin works by intercalating DNA and inhibiting topoisomerase II, leading to DNA damage and cell death. However, this mechanism is not selective to cancer cells and can adversely affect cardiac myocytes. The introduction of doxorubicin into oncologic practice has revolutionized cancer treatment, but its cardiotoxic effects remain a significant concern. This systematic review aims to comprehensively examine the multifaceted impact of doxorubicin on cardiac structure and function through both preclinical and clinical lenses.
