The National Heart, Lung and Blood Institute (NHLBI) awarded The Ohio State University a $249,000 Project Grant under the Cardiovascular Diseases Research program (CFDA 93.837) for research on genetic variants in doxorubicin-induced cardiotoxicity. The award, effective June 1, 2026, through April 30, 2029, supports the development and application of advanced genome editing and cellular modeling technologies to identify genetic determinants that predict individual patient susceptibility to cardiotoxicity from doxorubicin chemotherapy. The research deliverables include establishment of a Prime Editing 7 (PE7) platform to install a library of 116 clinically implicated single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) into human induced pluripotent stem cell-derived cardiomyocytes (iPSC-CMs), quantification of each variant's functional impact on cardiomyocyte survival under doxorubicin stress, and validation of top candidate variants using three-dimensional engineered heart tissues and live-cell imaging to assess physiological responses and cytotoxicity kinetics. The research integrates functional biological data with clinical genome-wide association study (GWAS) findings to generate integrated risk scores for personalized prediction and prevention of chemotherapy-induced cardiotoxicity. This in vitro GWAS approach bridges clinical genetics and functional biology to address the current clinical challenge of predicting which cancer patients will develop life-threatening cardiotoxic complications from doxorubicin treatment, thereby enabling precise risk stratification and targeted cardioprotection strategies for breast cancer and pediatric cancer patients.Federal Grant Award Summary
