Despite recent advances in cancer therapy, anthracycline-based combination therapy remains the standardized first-line strategy and has been found to have effective antitumor actions. Anthracyclines are extremely cardiotoxic, which limits the use of these powerful chemotherapeutic agents. Although numerous studies have been conducted on the cardiotoxicity of anthracyclines, the precise mechanisms by which doxorubicin causes cardiomyocyte death and myocardial dysfunction remain incompletely understood. This review highlights recent updates in mechanisms and therapies involved in doxorubicin-induced cardiomyocyte death, including autophagy, ferroptosis, necroptosis, pyroptosis, and apoptosis, as well as mechanisms of cardiovascular dysfunction resulting in myocardial atrophy, defects in calcium handling, thrombosis, and cell senescence. We sought to uncover potential therapeutic approaches to manage anthracycline cardiotoxicity via manipulation of crucial targets involved in doxorubicin-induced cardiomyocyte death and dysfunction.
