DNA damage independent inhibition of NF-κB transcription by anthracyclines [PDF]
eLife, 2022 Anthracyclines are among the most used and effective anticancer drugs. Their activity has been attributed to DNA double-strand breaks resulting from topoisomerase II poisoning and to eviction of histones from select sites in the genome.

Uptake Assays to Monitor Anthracyclines Entry into Mammalian Cells
Bio-Protocol, 2017 Anthracyclines, such as doxorubicin and daunorubicin, are DNA damaging agents that autofluoresce and can be readily detected in cells. Herein, we developed suitable assays to quantify and localize daunorubicin in mammalian cells.

Detection of Subclinical Anthracyclines' Cardiotoxicity in Children with Solid Tumor
Chinese Medical Journal, 2018 Background: Cardiotoxicity is one of the most serious chronic complications of anthracyclines therapy. Assessment of the left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) fails to detect subtle cardiac dysfunction of left ventricular (LV).

Cardiac magnetic resonance assessment of right ventricular remodeling after anthracycline therapy
Scientific Reports, 2021 There are limited data on the effects of anthracyclines on right ventricular (RV) structure, function, and tissue characteristics. The goal of this study was to investigate the effects of anthracyclines on the RV using cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR ...
