Figure 1 with 1 supplement
Doxorubicin (Dox) induces DNA damages and activates mitochondrial pathway of apoptosis in cardiac myocytes.

(a–d) Cell death markers were recorded by flow cytometry in neonatal rat ventricular myocyte (NRVM) treated or not with Dox (1 µM) for 12 hr, 24 hr, 36 hr, and 48 hr. Results are presented as mean ± …

Figure 1—figure supplement 1
Doxorubicin (Dox) induced apoptotic cell death in cardiac myocytes.

(a–c) Neonatal rat ventricular myocyte (NRVM) were left untreated or treated with Dox (1 µM) ± CE3F4 (10 µM) for 24 hr and analyzed by flow cytometry. Representative monoparametric histograms of (a) …

Doxorubicin (Dox) modulates cAMP-EPAC1 pathway in cardiac cells.

(a) Neonatal rat ventricular myocyte (NRVM) were untreated or treated with 1 µM Dox for 3 hr, 6 hr, 16 hr, and 24 hr and the level of EPAC1 protein was detected by western blot. Actin was used as a …

Pharmacological inhibition of EPAC1, but not EPAC2, protects cardiomyocytes from doxorubicin (Dox)-induced DNA damage.

(a) Neonatal rat ventricular myocyte (NRVM) were untreated or treated with Dox (1 µM) ± the specific EPAC1 inhibitor CE3F4 (10 µM) for 16 hr and the level of the DNA damage marker H2AX-pS139 was …

EPAC1 inhibition reduces doxorubicin (Dox)-induced mitochondrial apoptotic pathway.

(a, b) Neonatal rat ventricular myocyte (NRVM) were untreated or treated with Dox (1 µM) ± CE3F4 (10 µM) for 24 hr and analyzed by flow cytometry. Results are expressed as means ± SEM. **p<0.01, …

Figure 5 with 1 supplement
Doxorubicin (Dox)-induced cardiotoxicity was prevented in EPAC1 knock-out (KO) mice.

WT (a–d) or EPAC1 KO mice (e–g) were injected (i.v.) three times with saline solution (Sal) or Dox at 4 mg/kg for each injection (12 mg/kg cumulative dose). Echocardiographic analysis was performed …

Figure 5—figure supplement 1
Body weight of mice treated with doxorubicin (Dox).

WT and EPAC1 knock-out (KO) mice were injected (i.v.) three times with (a) saline solution (Sal) or (b) Dox at 4 mg/kg for each injection (12 mg/kg cumulative dose). The body weight was measured …

Doxorubicin (Dox)-induced cardiotoxicity was prevented in EPAC1 knock-out (KO) mice.

WT and EPAC1 KO mice were injected (i.v.) three times with saline solution (Sal) or Dox at 4 mg/kg for each injection (12 mg/kg cumulative dose). Ventricular cells were isolated from control and …

EPAC1 inhibition enhances doxorubicin (Dox)-induced cytotoxicity in various human cancer cell lines.

Human MCF-7 breast cancer cells (a) and HeLa cervical cancer cells (b) were untreated or treated with the indicated doses of Dox ± CE3F4 (10 µM) for 24 hr. Cell death was measured by flow cytometry …
