Doxorubicin (DOX) as a chemotherapeutic drug is widely used to treat a variety of human tumors. However, a major factor limiting its clinical use is its cardiotoxicity. The molecular components and detailed mechanisms regulating DOX-induced cardiotoxicity remain largely unidentified. Here we report that Foxo3a is downregulated in cardiomyocytes and mouse heart in response to DOX treatment. Foxo3a attenuates DOX-induced mitochondrial fission and apoptosis in cardiomyocytes. Cardiac specific Foxo3a transgenic mice show reduced mitochondrial fission, apoptosis and cardiotoxicity upon DOX administration. Furthermore, Foxo3a directly targets mitochondrial dynamics protein of 49kDa (MIEF2) and suppresses its expression at transcriptional level. Knockdown of MIEF2 reduces DOX-induced mitochondrial fission and apoptosis in cardiomyocytes and in vivo. Also, knockdown of MIEF2 protects heart from DOX-induced cardiotoxicity. Our study identifies a novel pathway composed of Foxo3a and MIEF2 that mediates DOX cardiotoxicity. This discovery provides a promising therapeutic strategy for the treatment of cancer therapy and cardioprotection.
