Dapagliflozin protects against doxorubicin-induced cardiotoxicity by restoring STAT3
Arch Toxicol. 2022 Apr 19. doi: 10.1007/s00204-022-03298-y. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTDoxorubicin (Dox), an effective therapy in different types of cancer, is known to exhibit cardiotoxic effects. Despite previous studies indicating the benefits of dapagliflozin (DAPA) in patients experiencing heart failure, it remains uncertain whether DAPA exerts a protective effect on Dox-induced cardiac dysfunction. Signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 (STAT3) participates in various mechanisms of cardioprotection. Herein, we aimed to investigate the effects of DAPA on Dox-induced cardiotoxicity and the role of STAT3....

Novel Anti-inflammatory Effects of Canagliflozin Involving Hexokinase II in Lipopolysaccharide-Stimulated Human Coronary Artery Endothelial Cells
ConclusionCana conveys anti-inflammatory actions in LPS-treated HCAECs through 1) reductions in HKII and ERK1/2 phosphorylation and 2) AMPK activation. These data suggest a novel anti-inflammatory mechanism of Cana through HKII.

Dapagliflozin alleviates cardiac fibrosis through suppressing EndMT and fibroblast activation via AMPK α/TGF-β/Smad signalling in type 2 diabetic rats
This study aimed to evaluate the effect of SGLT2 inhibitor dapagliflozin (DAPA) on DCM especially for cardiac fibrosis and explore the underlying mechanism. In vivo, the model of type 2 diabetic rats was built with high-fat feeding and streptozotocin injection. Untreated diabetic rats showed cardiac dysfunction, increased myocardial fibrosis and EndMT, which was attenuated after treatment with DAPA and metformin. In vitro, HUVECs and primary cardiac fibroblasts were treated with DAPA and exposed to high glucose (HG). HG-induced EndMT in HUVECs and collagen secretion of fibroblasts were markedly inhibited by DAPA. Up-regula...
