Article Description

This study aimed to investigate whether serum cardiac adriamycin-responsive protein (CARP) can serve as a sensitive and specific biomarker of anthracyclines (ANT)-induced cardiotoxicity. Fifty-five children with acute lymphoblastic leukemia were recruited. Before and after the administration of ANT, serum levels of CARP, high-sensitivity troponin T, creatine kinase-MB, and electrocardiogram were measured. Postchemotherapeutic clinical manifestations of cardiotoxicity were also investigated. Adverse cardiac events (ACEs) were graded according to the Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events 4.0. Then, the CARP expression was statistically analyzed among different groups. The receiver operating characteristic curve was used to evaluate the efficacy of CARP in predicting acute ANT-induced cardiotoxicity. After ANT chemotherapy, the serum CARP concentration increased in the non-ACEs group but decreased in the ACEs group (P < 0.05). In addition, not only the serum CARP levels (△CARP) was negatively correlated with the grade of ACEs (R=-0.754, P < 0.0001) but also the extent of QT interval corrected (QTc) prolongation (△QTc; R=-0.5592, P < 0.01). The area under the receiver operating characteristic curve of CARP was 90.94% (P < 0.0001), and the sensitivity and specificity were 88.64% and 91.67%, respectively, all of which are superior to △high-sensitivity troponin T, △creatine kinase-MB, and △QTc. In conclusion, serum CARP could serve as a novel sensitive and specific biomarker of acute ANT-induced cardiotoxicity, which is negatively associated with ACE grade.
