The identification of methods aimed at reprogramming of the human somatic cells to so-called induced pluripotent stem (iPS) offers the possibility to generate tailor­made human cardiomyocytes that will most probably allow the development of ethnical or disease -specific drug actions on cardiomyocytes [68, 69].
These in vitro assays based on pluripotent stem cells generated cardiomyocytes in combination with high-throughput assay systems bride the gap to the complex models of primary tissues such as perfused ventricular wedge preparations or Langendorff­perfused hearts [9, 70].
6.3 NONARRHYTHMIC CARDIAC TOXICITY
In addition to cardiac side effects based on interactions of compounds with ion channels causing arrhythmia, nonarrhythmic toxic effects may occur, referred to as cardiac cytotoxicity. The importance of this form of cardiac toxicity is illustrated with the following example.
Some of the most potent cardiotoxic compounds in terms of nonarrhythmic toxicity belong to anthracyclins. Anthracyclins are among the most effective anti­neoplastic agents with broad-spectrum antitumor activity. The first two anthracyclins, doxorubicin and daunorubicin, were discovered over 50 years ago and clinical trials initiated in the 1960s (Figure 6.11). Although there was initial success in the treatment of patients with acute leukemia and lymphoma, it was realized that these anthracy­clins induced irreversible cardiac damage in patients on chronic therapy.
In a retrospective analysis of three trials [71], the cumulative perc entages of patients developing congestive heart failure after admission of doxorubicin was 5%, 26%, and 48% at a dose of 400, 550, and 700 mg/m
2
, respectively. The exact mechanisms of cardiac damage currently remains unclear [72], but mitochondrial damage and the formation of reactive oxygen species have been proposed [73].

In an attempt to overcome cardiac damage without reducing efficacy, a pegylated form of doxorubicin was developed, which reported a reduction in toxicity [72, 74]. However, chemical modifications of compounds are only successful if predictive test systems are available for screening both efficacy as well as unwanted side effects.
In addition to anthracyclins, anticancer drugs of other classes also exhibit cardiac­specific side effects [75]. The emergence of small molecules acting as inhibitors to kinases will require more demanding relevant toxicological modeling of cardiac side effects to minimizes adverse effects within this organ [76].
6.3.1 Definition of Drug-Induced Cardiac Toxicity
According to Wallace et al. [77], three different types of drug-induced cardiac toxicity can be identified:
(1) structural damage,
(2) functional deficits that may or may not be associated with histopathological
changes, and
(3) altered cell or tissue homeostasis in the absence of obvious structural or
functional deficits.
Functional deficits of the heart may be assessed in vivo using standard techniques (e.g., by MRI). Conversely, structural damage, histopathological changes, and altered cell or tissue homeostasis have to be assessed post mortem, using ex vivo or in vitro test systems, or in vivo by appropriate biomarkers for cardiac damage. Models and techniques to analyze nonarrhythmic cardiac side effects that allow in-depth analysis of different mechanisms of cardiac toxicity are outlined in Sections 6.3.2 and 6.3.3.
6.3.2 Assays for Detection of Nonarrhythmic Cardiac Toxicity
Methods and techniques for measuring functional deficits are described in Section 6.2. To detect nonarrhythmic cardiac toxicity, various models are available, ranging from standard in vivo techniques such as ventriculography to sophisticated in vitro systems that analyze the molecular basis for a given effect.
For this discussion, the term “in vivo” is used for examinations on living animals, either conscious or anesthetized; “ex vivo ” for experiments on isolated organs and tissue preparations; and “in vitro” for investigations using either primary cells isolated from tissue or other suitable cellular models.
6.3.2.1 In Vivo Techniques In vivo systems can be used to monitor the mechanic action of the heart, that is, its function as a pump. The key parameter to measure is the ejection fraction, that is, the volume of blood pumped out of the ventricles with every heartbeat. In addition to electrophysiological disturbances, several other events such as loss of functional active cardiomyocytes, myocardial infarction, inflammation, and cardiomyocyte hypertrophy/cardiomyopathy can cause altered cardiac function.

Generally, the left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) is used as the marker for
correct pumping of the heart. Ejection fraction is defined in Equation 6.1.

Measurement of the LVEF can be performed by various methods, most of which are standard clinical diagnostic procedures adapted to the requirements of in vivo testing:
Echocardiography is one of the most common diagnostic techniques for detection of cardiac disease. It is possible to monitor the morphology of the heart, detect dysfunction in blood flow as well as hypertrophy-induced cardiomyopathy, and to determine the volume of the ventricles using ultrasound 2D or 3D image analysis and Doppler measurements. The method is noninvasive and usually does not interfere with normal physiological behavior of the heart [78].
Ventriculography is the method in which a dye is injected into the ventricle to stain and visualize the blood volume that is pumped during cardiac action. This can be used either in conjunction with cardiac catheterization, or with magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) (see below).
Cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is another noninvasive clinical diagnostic tool that can be used to monitor heart function [79] and viability [78] as well as screening for morphological changes such as infarction sites, scars, and fat deposits. The method can be combined with application of contrast dyes for increased visibility of morphological abnormalities and blood flow or imaging agents such as gadolinium for targeted visualization of structures and proteins [80].
Magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS) can be used to monitor biochemical processes within a given tissue or organ as opposed to MRI to image morphological structures and function. Radioisotopes of standard ions are injected to provide information about cardiac physiology on the molecular level [81]. In contrast to MRI, this method is mainly used for research purposes, and not as a standard diagnostic tool.
The methods described above are adapted from clinical use in patients to preclinical and basic research using animals. Since the physiology (e.g., beating frequency) of laboratory animals can greatly vary from those of humans, modifica­tions have to be applied to allow for reliable and predictive models [82]. Standard animal models for in vivo studies include mouse, guinea pig, rabbit, dog, and swine, with the latter usually used sequentially during safety evaluation.
In vivo test systems have drawbacks even though they are a critical component of drug development. The test systems are very costly in terms of time and resources and not suitable for screening of medium or large compound libraries. Many in vivo tests lack details concerning the mechanism on the cellular and/or molecular basis. Due to
NONARRHYTHMIC CARDIAC TOXICITY 301
https://t.me/medicina_free
the different species used in vivo, interspecies extrapolation of the results is required to conduct risk assessment. Current in vivo tests conducted according to protocols that could be revised typically remain unmodified since regulatory acceptance has been obtained.
6.3.2.2 Biomarkers of Cardiac Damage: Cardiac Troponin T as the Gold Standard The detection of a tissue-specific marker in the peripheral blood or any
other accessible compartment of the body is another possibility for screening of drug­induced, tissue-specific toxicities. The term “biomarker” was standardized by an NIH working group in 2001 as “a characteristic that is objectively measured and evaluated as an indicator of normal biological processes, pathogenic processes, or pharmaco­logical response to a therapeutic intervention” [83]. Quantification of biomarkers is primarily conducted by an in vivo experiment, and may be an ideal supplemental to the methods described above.
As stated by Wallace et al. [77], an “ideal” biomarker for a given toxicity should be
.
specific (e.g., not expressed by nontarget tissues, high tissue/serum ratio),
.
sensitive (e.g., low baseline level, immediate release after injury, indication of early and reversible toxicity),
.
predictive (e.g., release proportional to extent of injury),
.
robust,
.
noninvasive/accessible, and
.
bridge preclinical and clinical findings.
Highly specific and sensitive biomarkers may be difficult to identify if the type of damage is a common cellular event that affects cardiomyocytes as well as other cell types. For example, if cardiomyocytesundergo apoptosis, the same signaling cascades are engaged in other cell types resulting in caspase activation, DNA laddering, and blebbing of the cells. General markers for cell death that can be determined in the circulationof an individual will usually not disclose the type of damage. Moreover, it is more difficult to define an accessible, noninvasive, and robust biomarker as the intricacy and subtleness of a drug-induced change in the physiology increases. Due to these limitations, the key biomarkers for cardiac damage that can be measured in biological samples include cardiac troponin T and cardiac troponin I for myocardial necrosis, ischemia modified albumin (IMA) for ischemia of cardiomyocytes, and type­B natriuretic peptides for acute and chronic cardiac failure (for review, see Ref. 84).
Cardiac troponin is a complex of three proteins (troponin C, troponin I, and troponin T) that are attached to tropomyosin, which prevents binding of myosin to the actin filaments in a relaxed muscle cell. Once the muscle cell becomes excited, calcium ions release from the sarcoplasmatic reticulum leads to conformational changes in the troponin–tropomyosin complex, which enables cross-binding of the actin filament with the myosin proteins [85].
Troponin T is the calcium-binding subunit of the troponin complex. Similar to the other two troponins, it is highly specific, stably released in the circulation upon
302 CARDIAC TOXICITY
https://t.me/medicina_free
cardiac muscle damage, and a background level is not detected by common assay systems [77, 86]. The determination of cardiac troponin was therefore established as the “gold standard” for the detection of necrosis of cardiomyocytes [87]. In a patient, cardiac troponins can be released due to different mechanisms of cardiac damage. Myocardial infarction is the most common cause of injury. Nonischemic damage of cardiac tissue such as inflammation, cardiac trauma, and drug-induced necrosis will also result in elevated troponin levels.
In addition to diagnosing heart infarction clinically, several studies have shown that determination of cardiac troponin is also a useful tool for preclinical studies [88, 89]. Due to its high specificity and sensitivity, the release of troponin T highly correlates with histopathological extent of injury, the degree of impairment of cardiac function, and prognosis. This data allows for a direct translation of preclinical development to clinical outcome. Various assays are commercially available for detection of troponin T release in laboratory animals [89] and can be easily implemented in any preclinical strategy for detecting cardiotoxicity. Therefore, the combination of in vivo experiments with measurement of troponin levels in the circulation will allow for constant monitoring of nonarrhythmic cardiac side effects. However, for highly predictive results, the biological model (species) and the assay system must be chosen carefully [89].
6.3.2.3 Ex Vivo Test Systems Ex vivo test systems either consist of the whole isolated organ (e.g., the Langendorff-perfused heart) or a part of the organ, such as papillary muscle strips [90, 91]. All of these models require highly skilled operators to avoid inter-experimental variations. Moreover, these tests are not capable of medium or high-throughput screening, can be used only for acute experiments, and exper­imental results may be affected by the procedure that is used to prepare and isolate the material. These test systems are mainly used for screening of ion channel-related cardiac toxicity (Section 6.2). However, monitoring the biochemical and molecular processes of drug-induced cardiac toxicity is also suitable. Explanted rat hearts have been applied to investigate aspects of injuries induced by ischemic reperfusion, for example, apoptosis [92], and anthracycline-induced cardiac toxicity [93]. In contrast to primary cardiomyocytes isolated from the heart, isolated organs or tissue strips retain their natural 3D structure as well as the cell-to-cell contacts, which are necessary for proper physiological behavior [94].
6.3.2.4 In Vitro Test Systems Determination of cardiac-specific toxicity on the cellular, biochemical, or molecular level demands the use of either primary cardi­omyocytes isolated from cardiac tissue or cell lines, which mostly resembles cardiomyocyte physiology [95, 96]. In contrast to test systems for detection of ion channel-related cardiac toxicity, the use of artificial cell lines only transfected with cardiac ion channels for determination of cardiac cytotoxicity is not an option.
Primary cardiomyocytes isolated from different species at different stages of development (neonatal, adult) represent established models in toxicological and physiological test systems. Freshly isolated primary cardiomyocytes possessing in vivo physiological properties are costly, time-consuming to produce, and difficult
NONARRHYTHMIC CARDIAC TOXICITY 303
https://t.me/medicina_free
to standardize [97, 98]. Moreover, cells are easily damaged during the isolation procedure since strong cell-to-cell connections within the cardiac tissue are formed [94]. Primary cardiomyocyte preparations are usually contaminated with other cells types (e.g., fibroblasts, endothelial cells), which may overgrow the culture of cardiomyocytes within a short time [98]. These contaminations also increase the variability of data and reduce the reliability of test results that are derived from a population of cells as opposed to a single cell. For example, a preparation of primary cardiomyocytes with 70% purity is used in a standard cytotoxicity assay in which 30% of the cells are killed by a given drug at a certain concentration. It is not obvious if the 30% dead cells consist of cardiomyocytes, contaminating cells, or a mixture of both. This limitation can be overcome by more sophisticated read-out systems such as image analysis and high-content screening (HCS) that will break down a given effect to the single cell level.
Cardiomyocytes isolated from either juvenile or adult hearts will not proliferate in culture and tend to dedifferentiate and lose their phenotype within a short time [99]. This limits their use to short-term experiments.
Cardiac cell lines that have been developed to overcome the limitations of primary isolated cardiomyocytes are mainly constructed from immortalized or tumorigenic cardiomyocytes [95, 96]. Although such cell lines have been widely used in recent years, the relevance and predictive ability of drug-induced nonarrhythmic cardiac toxicity is currently not proven.
A promising cellular model that combines the advantages of cell lines (e.g., purity, high standardization, ease of use) with those of primary cells (fully functional, normal physiological behavior) are pluripotent stem cell-derived cardiomyocytes, either from mouse or human origin. Gen eration of the mouse ES cell line D3 and their differentiation into cardiac myocytes was published in 1985 by Doetschman et al. [100]. Almost 20 years later the generation of human ES cells and differentiation into cardiomyocytes were described [101, 102], followed by the recent development of human-induced pluripotent stem cells [68, 69]. The usefulness, relevance, and predictivity of stem cell-derived cardiomyocytes as well as other cell types for determination of drug-induced toxicity have been well recognized during the past years (for review, [103–105]). Besides their unique primary-like functional behavior, mouse ES cell-derived cardiomyocytes can be produced at 100% purity in large and uniform lot sizes and stockpiled in liquid nitrogen. Their availability allows for full library screening approaches and are suitable for all types of experimental setups and read-outs, that is, standard cytotoxicity assays, apoptosis, and calcium signaling [104, 106–110]. Embryonic stem cell-derived cells and tissues are therefore a perfect tool for cell-based in vitr o assays and overcome the limitations of the current models such as unspecific cell lines and primary tissue.
6.3.3 Biochemical and Molecular Basis of Drug-Induced Cardiac Toxicity—Impairment of Mitochondrial Function
Recently, it has been acknowledged that toxic effects on mitochondria can be a major cause for the side effects of a drug and subsequently its withdrawal from the market. In
304 CARDIAC TOXICITY
https://t.me/medicina_free
a recent review, Dykens and Will reported that 50% of drugs with FDA Black Box Warningsfor cardiovascular toxicity have documented mitochondrial liabilities [111]. Among those drugs are anticancer agents such as anthracyclines and the modern tyrosine kinase inhibitor Sorafenib [112], NSAIDs such as Celecoxib [113], and the antidiabetic drugs Rosiglitazone and Metformin (Figure 6.12) [114].
Mitochondrial dysfunction can be caused either by interaction of a drug with the self-replication of this cell organelle (e.g., by nucleotide reverse transcriptase inhibitors, [115]) or by interference of the drug with the process of oxidative phosphorylation, for example, via inhibition of the electron transport chain or uncoupling of electron transport from ATP synthesis [116–118]. Since cardiomyo­cytes highly demand oxygen, disturbances in oxidative phosphorylation will imme­diately cause damage to this cell type, whereas inhibition of mitochondrial DNA synthesis will gradually decrease mitochondrial function.
Historically, it was almost impossible to detect mitochondrial liabilities of drug candidates within the drug development process using common in vivo and ex vivo test systems. Most often, mitochondrial toxicity was only retrospectively analyzed after clinical reports of unwanted side effects. Although ex vivo systems using isolated perfused hearts are suitable to detect mitochondrial toxicity [93, 119], this setup is not capable of medium or high throughput and is therefore not compat ible with early stages of drug development and toxicity testing.

Most recently, in vitro test systems for mitochondrial function and dysfunction have been developed that can be used either with transformed cell lines, isolated mitochondria from animal tissues, or with primary or ES-cell-derived cardiomoyo­cytes [116, 120, 121]. The current strategy of toxicity testing within drug development will now need to adapt and incorporate these assays that allow high-throughput screening for mitochondrial liabilities.
