Abstract
The chemotherapeutic doxorubicin (DOX) detrimentally impacts the heart during cancer treatment. This necessitates development of non-cardiotoxic delivery systems that retain DOX anticancer efficacy. We used human induced pluripotent stem cell-derived cardiomyocytes (hiPSC-CMs), endothelial cells (hiPSC-ECs), cardiac fibroblasts (hiPSC-CFs), multi-lineage cardiac spheroids (hiPSC-CSs), patient-specific hiPSCs, and multiple human cancer cell lines to compare the anticancer efficacy and reduced cardiotoxicity of single protein encapsulated DOX (SPEDOX-6), to standard unformulated (UF) DOX. Cell viability assays and immunostaining in human cancer cells, hiPSC-ECs, and hiPSC-CFs revealed robust uptake of SPEDOX-6 and efficacy in killing these proliferative cell types. In contrast, hiPSC-CMs and hiPSC-CSs exhibited substantially lower cytotoxicity during SPEDOX-6 treatment compared with UF DOX. SPEDOX-6-treated hiPSC-CMs and hiPSC-CSs maintained their functionality, as indicated by sarcomere contractility assessment, calcium imaging, multielectrode arrays, and RNA sequencing. This study demonstrates the potential of SPEDOX-6 to alleviate cardiotoxic side effects associated with UF DOX, while maintaining its anticancer potency.
