Simple Summary: Anthracycline-induced cardiomyopathies and sarcopenia are often seen in cancer patients, affecting their quality of life and overall survival. Translational research aimed to find new cardioprotective strategies is strictly needed in cardioncology. Soluble guanylate cyclase activator vericiguat reduces heart failure rates in patients with reduced ejection fraction. In this study, we highlighted the cardioprotective and anti-inflammatory properties of vericiguat during exposure to anthracyclines and demonstrated its preventive properties of sarcopenia induced by doxorubicin (DOXO), which can be exploited for potential cardioprotective strategies in cancer patients. Furthermore, vericiguat reduces chemokines and cytokines involved in cardiomyopathies through NLR family pyrin domain containing 3 (NLRP-3) pathways in human cardiomyocytes and skeletal muscle cells. The findings that emerged from this study could provide the rationale for further preclinical and clinical investigations aimed at reducing anthracycline cardiotoxicity and sarcopenia in cancer patients. Anthracycline-induced cardiomyopathies and sarcopenia are frequently seen in cancer patients, affecting their overall survival and quality of life; therefore, new cardioprotective and anti-sarcopenic strategies are needed. Vericiguat is a new oral guanylate cyclase activator that reduces heart failure hospitalizations or cardiovascular death. This study highlighted the potential cardioprotective and anti-sarcopenic properties of vericiguat during anthracycline therapy. Human cardiomyocytes and primary skeletal muscle cells were exposed to doxorubicin (DOXO) with or without a pre-treatment with vericiguat. Mitochondrial cell viability, LDH, and Cytochrome C release were performed to study cytoprotective properties. Intracellular Ca++ content, TUNEL assay, cGMP, NLRP-3, Myd-88, and cytokine intracellular levels were quantified through colorimetric and selective ELISA methods. Vericiguat exerts significant cytoprotective and anti-apoptotic effects during exposure to doxorubicin. A drastic increase in cGMP expression and reduction in NLRP-3, MyD-88 levels were also seen in Vericiguat-DOXO groups vs. DOXO groups (p < 0.001) in both cardiomyocytes and human muscle cells. GCa vericiguat reduces cytokines and chemokines involved in heart failure and sarcopenia. The findings that emerged from this study could provide the rationale for further preclinical and clinical investigations aimed at reducing anthracycline cardiotoxicity and sarcopenia in cancer patients.
