FNDC5/irisin mitigates the cardiotoxic impacts of cancer chemotherapeutics by modulating ROS-dependent and -independent mechanisms by Manish Kumar, Abhishek Singh Sengar, Anushree Lye, Pranesh Kumar, Sukhes Mukherjee, Dinesh Kumar, Priyadip Das, Suvro Chatterjee, Adele Stewart, Biswanath Maity

“…In cardiomyocytes, restoration of FNDC5 expression was sufficient to mitigate reactive oxygen species (ROS) accumulation and apoptosis following doxorubicin exposure, effects dependent on the irisin encoding domain of FNDC5 as well as signaling via the putative irisin integrin receptor. Intriguingly, we identified two parallel signaling cascades impacted by FNDC5 in cardiomyocytes: the ROS-driven intrinsic mitochondrial apoptosis pathway and the ROS-independent Ataxia Telangiectasia and Rad3-Related Protein (ATR)/Checkpoint Kinase 1 (Chk1) pathway. …”
