Utsumi A, Goto Y, Suzuki T, Imai C, Matsui S, Sakaida E, Ishii I. Nelarabine-induced rhabdomyolysis in a patient with T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia: a case report. J Pharm Health Care Sci 2022; 8:17. [PMID: 35690835 PMCID: PMC9188041 DOI: 10.1186/s40780-022-00247-w] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/28/2022] [Accepted: 05/30/2022] [Indexed: 12/19/2022] Open
Abstract
Background Nelarabine is an antineoplastic purine analog used for the treatment of refractory or relapsed T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (T-ALL). The most prominent side effect of nelarabine are neurotoxicity and hematologic disorder, which are considered dose-limiting factors. Although clinical studies have reported myopathy due to nelarabine, actual detailed outcomes were not well-known initial approval. The incidence of nelarabine induced rhabdomyolysis has been reported at 2% in study in children. Cases of rhabdomyolysis have been reported in adults from medical facilities in the United Sates with renal dysfunction or severe muscle symptoms after administration of multiple courses of nelarabine. In this report, we discuss a case of rhabdomyolysis diagnosed after a single course of nelarabine. In this case, creatine kinase (CK) level was elevated in grade 4, without renal dysfunction and severe muscle symptoms. Case presentation A 46-year-old man from Japan was diagnosed with T-ALL and received a hematopoietic stem cell transplantation in first remission. However, the disease relapsed 6 months after transplantation. Nelarabine was selected as the next-line chemotherapeutic agent. The patient received 1500 mg/m2 of nelarabine on day 1 followed by a dose on days 3 and 5. CK levels, which were baseline before treatment, increased to grade 4 (18,620 IU/L) on the 8th day of treatment. He was diagnosed as rhabdomyolysis due to nelarabine with little possibility of other factors. He complained only of mild pain in his upper extremities and no other symptoms were noticed. The patient was managed with hydration. The pain lasted approximately 7 days, but there were no sequelae secondary to the rhabdomyolysis. Because of the elevation of CK in grade 4, we avoided re-administration. Conclusion In the patient administrated nelarabine, CK level was elevated in grade 4, without other symptoms of rhabdomyolysis. The results suggest that CK may be elevated at the onset of rhabdomyolysis caused by nelarabine, even in the absence of other symptoms. Therefore, it was suggested that monitoring CK during nelarabine administration is important for detecting rhabdomyolysis before it becomes severe. We consider that CK should be monitored even in absence of symptoms.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The pathophysiology of AKI during tumor lysis syndrome (TLS) is not well understood due to the paucity of data. We aimed to decipher crystal-dependent and crystal-independent mechanisms of TLS-induced AKI. METHODS Crystalluria, plasma cytokine levels, and extracellular histones levels were measured in two cohorts of patients with TLS. We developed a model of TLS in syngeneic mice with acute myeloid leukemia, and analyzed ultrastructural changes in kidneys and endothelial permeability using intravital confocal microscopy. In parallel, we studied the endothelial toxicity of extracellular histones in vitro. RESULTS: The study provides the first evidence that previously described crystal-dependent mechanisms are insufficient to explain TLS-induced AKI. Extracellular histones that are released in huge amounts during TLS caused profound endothelial alterations in the mouse model. The mechanisms of histone-mediated damage implicates endothelial cell activation mediated by Toll-like receptor 4. Heparin inhibits extracellular histones and mitigates endothelial dysfunction during TLS. CONCLUSION This study sheds new light on the pathophysiology of TLS-induced AKI and suggests that extracellular histones may constitute a novel target for therapeutic intervention in TLS when endothelial dysfunction occurs.

Abstract
Sodium and potassium disorders are pervasive in patients with cancer. The causes of these abnormalities are wide-ranging, are often primary or second-order consequences of the underlying cancer, and have prognostic implications. The approach to hyponatremia should focus on cancer-related etiologies, such as syndrome of inappropriate antidiuretic hormone, to the exclusion of other causes. Hypernatremia in non-iatrogenic forms is generally due to water loss rather than excessive sodium intake. Debilitated or dependent patients with cancer are particularly vulnerable to hypernatremia. Hypokalemia can occur in patients with cancer due to gastrointestinal disturbances, resulting from decreased intake or increased losses. Renal losses can occur as a result of excessive mineralocorticoid secretion or therapy-related nephrotoxicity. The approach to hyperkalemia should be informed by historical and laboratory clues, and pseudohyperkalemia is particularly common in patients with hematological cancers. Hyperkalemia can be seen in primary or metastatic disease that interrupts the adrenal axis. It can also develop as a consequence of immunotherapy, which can cause adrenalitis or hypophysitis. Tumor lysis syndrome (TLS) is defined by the development of hyperkalemia and is a medical emergency. Awareness of the electrolyte abnormalities that can befall patients with cancer is vital for its prompt recognition and management.

Abstract
An intelligent drug delivery platform based on the hybrids of mesoporous silica nanoparticles (MSN), sodium hyaluronate (HA), chitosan (CS) and oxidized sodium carboxymethyl cellulose (oxCMC) is developed, which can be used for dual-responsive dual-drug delivery. Hydrophilic cytarabine (Cyt) is first loaded into the mesopores of the aminated MSN (NH2-MSN), which is encapsulated by the hydrogel of HA and cystamine (Cys) crosslinked via amidation. The Cyt encapsulated hydrogel which is denoted as Cyt/NH2-MSN/HA is co-encapsulated with hydrophobic methotrexate (MTX) into the hydrogel of CS and oxCMC resulted from Schiff base reaction. Since the acylhydrazone bonds (-HC=N-) between CS and oxCMC are sensitive to pH and the disulfide bonds (-S-S-) in Cys are sensitive to glutathione (GSH), the resultant dual-drug encapsulated hydrogel, denoted as Cyt/NH2-MSN/HA/MTX/CS/oxCMC, can be used for dual-responsive (pH and GSH) drug delivery. The results of cell viability demonstrate that the developed dual-drug encapsulated hydrogel has significantly higher efficacy of chemotherapy than that of single-drug (MTX or Cyt) encapsulated hydrogel.

Abstract
RATIONALE Rhabdomyolysis is a potentially life-threatening syndrome and is a rare complication in patients with acute leukemia. PATIENT'S CONCERNS A 20-year-old male was admitted to our hospital due to skin ecchymosis in his trunk and lower limbs for 10 days. DIAGNOSES Based on the precise diagnosis of leukemia, namely cell morphology, immunology, cytogenetics, and molecular biological typing (MICM), the patient was diagnosed with acute T-lymphocytic leukemia (T-ALL). INTERVENTIONS The patient received hyper-Cyclophosphamide, Vincristine,Adriamycin, Dexamethasone (hyper-CVAD) regimen chemotherapy (methotrexate, pirarubicin, vincristine and dexamethasone alternating with methotrexate and cytarabine) for 3 courses of chemotherapy. After 3 months of treatment, the patient developed intermittent pain, blurred vision, and inarticulate speech. Therefore, the patient was considered as central nervous system leukemia (CNSL) and immediately received 2 courses of chemotherapy with hyper-CVAD-B combined with polyethylene glycol conjugated asparaginase (PEG-ASP). OUTCOMES On the seventh day after the completion of chemotherapy, the patient was diagnosed with rhabdomyolysis because he complained of perianal pain and hematuria, and his creatine kinase (CK) increased suddenly to 3136 U/L. Finally, the patient died despite all kinds of active rescue. LESSONS Rhabdomyolysis may occur after chemotherapy of leukemia. When patients developed hematuria, muscle weakness, or even asymptomatic elevation of CK levels, physicians should pay attention to the occurrence of rhabdomyolysis and take active hydration treatment.

Abstract
RATIONALE Idiopathic inflammatory myopathies have been extensively reported associated with malignancy. Immune-mediated necrotizing myopathy (IMNM), however, has rarely been connected with malignancy including acute myeloid leukemia (AML). PATIENT CONCERNS A 65-year-old woman was diagnosed with AML and received regular chemotherapy. After the 5th cycle chemotherapy, she achieved complete remission but developed severe muscle weakness and myalgia with dramatic increasing creatine kinase (CK). DIAGNOSIS The positivity of antinuclear matrix protein 2 antibody (anti-NXP2 Ab) and muscle biopsy in together confirmed the diagnosis of IMNM. INTERVENTION Methylprednisolone and intravenous immunoglobulin was administered. OUTCOMES This treatment resulted in a dramatic clinical and laboratory improvement within 1 month. CK and lactate dehydrogenase levels dropped sharply to normal. Anti-NXP2 Ab was shown to disappear in a repeated test afterwards. LESSONS The IMNM is also closely related to malignancy. We here report a case of IMNM associated with AML for the first time. Anti-NXP2 Ab may be utilized as both diagnostic and prognostic markers of paraneoplastic IMNMs.

Abstract
Background High-dose chemotherapy with autologous stem cell rescue is commonly used for the treatment of relapsed germ cell tumors. We report the first case of delayed rhabdomyolysis with paclitaxel, ifosfamide, carboplatin, and etoposide regimen. Case presentation We report a case of a 21-year-old African-American man diagnosed with relapsed non-seminomatous germ cell tumor who received high-dose chemotherapy with carboplatin and etoposide following TIGER trial arm B off-protocol. His course was complicated by muscle pain and rhabdomyolysis after cycle 4 on day +12 after infusion of autologous stem cells. To the best of our knowledge, this complication has not been reported with this regimen. A differential diagnosis of sepsis and neutropenic fever along with side effects of high-dose chemotherapy were considered, but based on the timing of events, it was concluded that the etiology of rhabdomyolysis is high-dose chemotherapy. Rhabdomyolysis was successfully treated with hydration and did not recur during subsequent cycle 5. Conclusions Delayed rhabdomyolysis after high-dose chemotherapy with paclitaxel, ifosfamide, carboplatin, and etoposide regimen has not been previously reported and needs to be considered for preventive strategy and prompt diagnosis and treatment to avoid renal complications. Physicians should have a low threshold to check creatine kinase enzymes in patients with unexplained muscle pain or renal insufficiency after high-dose chemotherapy.

Abstract
Cancer is becoming a treatable and even often curable disease. The neuromuscular system can be affected by direct tumor invasion or metastasis, neuroendocrine, metabolic, dysimmune/inflammatory, infections and toxic as well as paraneoplastic conditions. Due to the nature of cancer treatment, which frequently is based on a DNA damaging mechanism, treatment related toxic side effects are frequent and the correct identification of the causative mechanism is necessary to initiate the proper treatment. The peripheral nervous system is conventionally divided into nerve roots, the proximal nerves and plexus, the peripheral nerves (mono- and polyneuropathies), the site of neuromuscular transmission and muscle. This review is based on the anatomic distribution of the peripheral nervous system, divided into cranial nerves (CN), motor neuron (MND), nerve roots, plexus, peripheral nerve, the neuromuscular junction and muscle. The various etiologies of neuromuscular complications - neoplastic, surgical and mechanic, toxic, metabolic, endocrine, and paraneoplastic/immune - are discussed separately for each part of the peripheral nervous system.

Abstract
Muscle side effects have not been frequently assessed in childhood acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) patients. Our objective was to determine the early and late muscle side effects during childhood ALL treatment. To this end, we examined the early muscle side effects in 15 newly diagnosed "therapy patients" (group I), and the late side effects in 18 ALL survivors "off therapy patients" (group II). Muscle side effects were assessed by measuring hand grip strength (HGS), the "timed up and go" (TUG) test, creatine phosphokinase, myoglobin, plasma electrolytes, cardiac troponin I before and after induction chemotherapy in group I. The same parameters and cranial radiotherapy dose were examined in group II at a single timepoint. Cumulative doses of chemotherapy were calculated, and echocardiograms were obtained for each group. As a result, we found that the HGS and TUG measures of group I at the end of induction were poorer than measures of the first admission, control subjects, and group II. Low HGS measures had been normalized over time, but the TUG measures remained poor. Overt rhabdomyolysis and pyomyositis were not detected in any of the patients. These results suggested that muscle side effect monitoring might be helpful in the follow-up of children with ALL.

Abstract
The goal of this study was to integrate systems pharmacology and biochemical flux to delineate drug-induced rhabdomyolysis by leveraging prior knowledge and publicly accessible data. A list of 211 rhabdomyolysis-inducing drugs (RIDs) was compiled and curated from multiple sources. Extended pharmacological network analysis revealed that the intermediators directly interacting with the pharmacological targets of RIDs were significantly enriched with functions such as regulation of cell cycle, apoptosis, and ubiquitin-mediated proteolysis. A total of 78 intermediators were shown to be significantly connected to at least five RIDs, including estrogen receptor 1 (ESR1), synuclein gamma (SNCG), and janus kinase 2 (JAK2). Transcriptomic analysis of RIDs profiled in Connectivity Map on the global scale revealed that multiple pathways are perturbed by RIDs, including ErbB signaling and lipid metabolism pathways, and that carnitine palmitoyl transferase 2 (CPT2) was in the top 1 percent of the most differentially perturbed genes. CPT2 was downregulated by nine drugs that perturbed the genes significantly enriched in oxidative phosphorylation and energy-metabolism pathways. With statins as the use case, biochemical pathway analysis on the local scale implicated a role for CPT2 in statin-induced perturbation of energy homeostasis, which is in agreement with reports of statin-CPT2 interaction. Considering the complexity of human biology, an integrative multiple-approach analysis composed of a biochemical flux network, pharmacological on- and off-target networks, and transcriptomic signature is important for understanding drug safety and for providing insight into clinical gene-drug interactions.

Abstract
This is the first paper to report the association of cancer chemotherapy with rhabdomyolysis in children. A previously healthy, 15-year-old Japanese female was diagnosed as having alveolar rhabdomyosarcoma. She received the first cycle of multi-agent chemotherapy without any adverse effects. However, she developed severe acute rhabdomyolysis shortly after the second cycle of multi-agent chemotherapy, which consisted of etoposide, ifosfamide, actinomycin-D and vincristine. Her condition deteriorated rapidly and she was treated with mechanical ventilation and fluid replacement. After further evaluation, anticancer drugs were thought to be responsible for the rhabdomyolysis.

Abstract
The human organic cation/carnitine transporter (hOCTN2) is a high affinity cation/carnitine transporter expressed widely in human tissues and is physiologically important for the homeostasis of L-carnitine. The objective of this study was to elucidate the substrate requirements of this transporter via computational modeling based on published in vitro data. Nine published substrates of hOCTN2 were used to create a common feature pharmacophore that was validated by mapping other known OCTN2 substrates. The pharmacophore was used to search a drug database and retrieved molecules that were then used as search queries in PubMed for instances of a side effect (rhabdomyolysis) associated with interference with L-carnitine transport. The substrate pharmacophore was composed of two hydrogen bond acceptors, a positive ionizable feature and ten excluded volumes. The substrate pharmacophore also mapped 6 out of 7 known substrate molecules used as a test set. After searching a database of ~800 known drugs, thirty drugs were predicted to map to the substrate pharmacophore with L-carnitine shape restriction. At least 16 of these molecules had case reports documenting an association with rhabdomyolysis and represent a set for prioritizing for future testing as OCTN2 substrates or inhibitors. This computational OCTN2 substrate pharmacophore derived from published data partially overlaps a previous OCTN2 inhibitor pharmacophore and is also able to select compounds that demonstrate rhabdomyolysis, further confirming the possible linkage between this side effect and hOCTN2.

3-Bromopyruvate inhibits calcium uptake by sarcoplasmic reticulum vesicles but not SERCA ATP hydrolysis activity. Int J Biochem Cell Biol 2012; 44:801-7. [PMID: 22343412 DOI: 10.1016/j.biocel.2012.02.002] [Citation(s) in RCA: 15] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/25/2011] [Revised: 01/26/2012] [Accepted: 02/02/2012] [Indexed: 11/23/2022]
Abstract
3-Bromopyruvate (3BrPA) is an antitumor agent that alkylates the thiol groups of enzymes and has been proposed as a treatment for neoplasias because of its specific reactivity with metabolic energy transducing enzymes in tumor cells. In this study, we show that the sarco/endoplasmic reticulum calcium (Ca(2+)) ATPase (SERCA) type 1 is one of the target enzymes of 3BrPA activity. Sarco/endoplasmic reticulum vesicles (SRV) were incubated in the presence of 1mM 3BrPA, which was unable to inhibit the ATPase activity of SERCA. However, Ca(2+)-uptake activity was significantly inhibited by 80% with 150 μM 3BrPA. These results indicate that 3BrPA has the ability to uncouple the ATP hydrolysis from the calcium transport activities. In addition, we observed that the inclusion of 2mM reduced glutathione (GSH) in the reaction medium with different 3BrPA concentrations promoted an increase in 40% in ATPase activity and protects the inhibition promoted by 3BrPA in calcium uptake activity. This derivatization is accompanied by a decrease of reduced cysteine (Cys), suggesting that GSH and 3BrPA increases SERCA activity and transport by pyruvylation and/or S-glutathiolation mediated by GSH at a critical Cys residues of the SERCA.

Abstract
Although direct neoplastic involvement of muscle tis-sue is surprisingly rare, considering the large amount of body mass that is represented by muscle tissue, the most important and unresolved muscle effect is muscle cachexia.Other associations, such as inflammatory, paraneo-plastic, toxic, and several extremely rare associations,have been described. Drug-induced toxicity and radiation recall syndrome need to be taken into consideration when muscle symptoms appear in patients with cancer.

[PMID: 16705566 DOI: 10.1086/504379] [Citation(s) in RCA: 63] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/12/2005] [Accepted: 02/07/2006] [Indexed: 01/17/2023] Open
Abstract
The use of daptomycin has been associated with an elevation in creatine phosphokinase level, with a reported incidence of 2.8% in phase III clinical trials. Published case reports have documented the presence of myopathy in patients who received daptomycin; however, there have been no previously reported cases of rhabdomyolysis in animals or humans to date. We describe a case of rhabdomyolysis during therapy with daptomycin.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIMS Many frequently prescribed drugs are suspected to cause acute pancreatitis (AP). The goal of this paper is to bring to light the often occult but real problem of drug-induced pancreatitis (DIP). METHODS We searched the National Library of Medicine/Pubmed for reported cases of DIP from 1966 to April 30, 2004. Medications implicated in AP are classified based on the strength of evidence into one of three classes of drugs associated with pancreatitis. We reviewed the top 100 prescription medications in the United States for their association with AP. RESULTS Class I medications (medications implicated in greater than 20 reported cases of acute pancreatitis with at least one documented case following reexposure): didanosine, asparaginase, azathioprine, valproic acid, pentavalent antimonials, pentamidine, mercaptopurine, mesalamine, estrogen preparations, opiates, tetracycline, cytarabine, steroids, trimethoprim/sulfamethoxazole, sulfasalazine, furosemide, and sulindac. Class II medications (medications implicated in more than 10 cases of acute pancreatitis): rifampin, lamivudine, octreotide, carbamazepine, acetaminophen, phenformin, interferon alfa-2b, enalapril, hydrochlorothiazide, cisplatin, erythromycin, and cyclopenthiazide. Class III medications (all medications reported to be associated with pancreatitis). Of the top 100 most frequently prescribed medications in the United States, 44 have been implicated in AP, 14 of them fall into either Class I or II of medications associated with AP. CONCLUSIONS Among adverse drug reactions, pancreatitis is often-ignored because of the difficulty in implicating a drug as its cause. The physician should have a high index of suspicion for DIP, especially in specific subpopulations such as geriatric patients who may be on multiple medications, HIV+ patients, cancer patients, and patients receiving immunomodulating agents.
