This Project Grant award of $248,999 from the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (CFDA 93.837 - Cardiovascular Diseases Research) supports research by Washington University to elucidate the mechanisms of cardiovascular toxicity associated with tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI) cancer treatments. The research aims to leverage patient-derived induced pluripotent stem cells to model TKI-induced vascular dysfunction and identify candidate compounds that can mitigate these adverse cardiovascular effects. Key objectives include characterizing TKI-induced cytotoxicity and cellular crosstalk in cardiac pericytes and endothelial cells, performing CRISPR screens to identify therapeutic targets, and validating mitigation strategies in engineered vascular tissues and mouse models. This work seeks to advance the understanding of TKI-related cardiovascular complications and develop personalized approaches to prevent and treat these life-threatening side effects in cancer patients.
