Abstract 


Chemotherapy-induced cardiotoxicity is a major adverse effect, driven by multiple factors in its pathogenesis. Notably, RNAs have emerged as significant contributors in both cancer and heart failure (HF). RNAs carry genetic and metabolic information that mirrors the current state of cells, making them valuable as potential biomarkers and therapeutic tools for diagnosing, predicting, and treating a range of diseases, including cardiotoxicity. Over 97% of the genome is transcribed into non-coding RNAs (ncRNAs), including ribosomal RNA (rRNAs), transfer RNAs (tRNAs), and newly identified microRNAs (miRNAs), circular RNAs (circRNAs), and long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs). NcRNAs function not only within their originating cells but also in recipient cells by being transported through extracellular compartments, referred to as extracellular RNAs (exRNAs). Since ncRNAs were identified as key regulators of gene expression, numerous studies have highlighted their significance in both cancer and cardiovascular diseases. Nevertheless, the role of ncRNAs in cardiotoxicity remains not fully elucidated. The study aims to review the existing knowledge on ncRNAs in Cardio-Oncology and explore the potential of ncRNA-based biomarkers and therapies. These investigations could advance the clinical application of ncRNA research, improving early detection and mitigating of chemotherapy-induced cardiotoxicity.
