Interaction of the chemotherapeutic agent oxaliplatin and the tyrosine kinase inhibitor dasatinib with the organic cation transporter 2. Arch Toxicol 2024; 98:2131-2142.

Abstract
Oxaliplatin (OHP) is effective in colorectal cancer treatment but induces peripheral neurotoxicity (OHP-induced peripheral neurotoxicity, OIPN), diminishing survivor quality of life. Organic cation transporter 2 (OCT2) is a key OHP uptake pathway in dorsal root ganglia. Competing for OCT2-mediated OHP uptake, such as with the tyrosine kinase inhibitor dasatinib, may mitigate OHP side effects. We investigated OHP and dasatinib interaction with OCT2 in human embryonic kidney 293 (HEK293) cells expressing OCT2 within a 10-3 to 10-7 M concentration range. Uptake competition experiments using fluorescent organic cation 4-(4-dimethylaminostyryl)-N-methylpyridinium (ASP+, 1 µM) and mass spectrometry (MS) to determine cellular platinum content indicated that OHP (100 µM) is an OCT2 substrate, mediating OHP cellular toxicity. ASP+ and MS analysis revealed dasatinib as a non-transported inhibitor of hOCT2 (IC50 = 5.9 µM) and as a regulator of OCT2 activity. Dasatinib reduced transporter Vmax, potentially via Y544 phosphorylation suppression. MS analysis showed cellular dasatinib accumulation independent of hOCT2. Although 3 µM dasatinib reduced 100 µM OHP accumulation in hOCT2-HEK293 cells, co-incubation with dasatinib and OHP did not prevent OHP toxicity, possibly due to dasatinib-induced cell viability reduction. In summary, this study demonstrates OHP as an OCT2 substrate and dasatinib as a non-transported inhibitor and regulator of OCT2, offering potential for OIPN mitigation.

Endothelial Glycocalyx in the Peripheral Capillaries is Injured Under Oxaliplatin-Induced Neuropathy. THE JOURNAL OF PAIN 2024; 25:104462.

Abstract
Oxaliplatin, a platinum-based anticancer drug, is associated with peripheral neuropathy (oxaliplatin-induced peripheral neuropathy, OIPN), which can lead to worsening of quality of life and treatment interruption. The endothelial glycocalyx, a fragile carbohydrate-rich layer covering the luminal surface of endothelial cells, acts as an endothelial gatekeeper and has been suggested to protect nerves, astrocytes, and other cells from toxins and substances released from the capillary vessels. Mechanisms underlying OIPN and the role of the glycocalyx remain unclear. This study aimed to define changes in the three-dimensional ultrastructure of capillary endothelial glycocalyx near nerve fibers in the hind paws of mice with OIPN. The mouse model of OPIN revealed disruption of the endothelial glycocalyx in the peripheral nerve compartment, accompanied by vascular permeability, edema, and damage to the peripheral nerves. To investigate the potential treatment interventions, nafamostat mesilate, a glycocalyx protective agent was used in tumor-bearing male mice. Nafamostat mesilate suppressed mechanical allodynia associated with neuropathy. It also prevented intra-epidermal nerve fiber loss and improved vascular permeability in the peripheral paws. The disruption of endothelial glycocalyx in the capillaries that lie within peripheral nerve bundles is a novel finding in OPIN. Furthermore, these findings point toward the potential of a new treatment strategy targeting endothelial glycocalyx to prevent vascular injury as an effective treatment of neuropathy as well as of many other diseases. PERSPECTIVE: OIPN damages the endothelial glycocalyx in the peripheral capillaries, increasing vascular permeability. In order to prevent OIPN, this work offers a novel therapy approach that targets endothelial glycocalyx.

Abstract
Oxaliplatin (OXA) is an antineoplastic agent used for the treatment of cisplatin-resistant tumours, presenting lower incidence of nephrotoxicity and myelotoxicity than other platinum-based drugs. However, OXA treatment is highly associated with painful peripheral neuropathy, a well-known and relevant side effect caused by mitochondrial dysfunction. The transfer of functional exogenous mitochondria (mitotherapy) is a promising therapeutic strategy for mitochondrial diseases. We investigated the effect of mitotherapy on oxaliplatin-induced painful peripheral neuropathy (OIPN) in male mice. OIPN was induced by i.p. injections of oxaliplatin (3 mg/kg) over 5 consecutive days. Mechanical (von Frey test) and cold (acetone drop test) allodynia were evaluated between 7 and 17 days after the first OXA treatment. Mitochondria was isolated from donor mouse livers and mitochondrial oxidative phosphorylation was assessed with high resolution respirometry. After confirming that the isolated mitochondria were functional, the organelles were administered at the dose of 0.5 mg/kg of mitochondrial protein on days 1, 3 and 5. Treatment with OXA caused both mechanical and cold allodynia in mice that were significant 7 days after the initial injection of OXA and persisted for up to 17 days. Mitotherapy significantly prevented the development of both sensory alterations, and attenuated body weight loss induced by OXA. Mitotherapy also prevented spinal cord ERK1/2 activation, microgliosis and the increase in TLR4 mRNA levels. Mitotherapy prevented OIPN by inhibiting neuroinflammation and the consequent cellular overactivity in the spinal cord, presenting a potential therapeutic strategy for pain management in oncologic patients undergoing OXA treatment.

Abstract
Neuropathic pain is experienced due to injury to the nerves, underlying disease conditions or toxicity induced by chemotherapeutics. Multiple factors can contribute to neuropathic pain such as central nervous system (CNS)-related autoimmune and metabolic disorders, nerve injury, multiple sclerosis and diabetes. Hence, development of pharmacological interventions to reduce the drawbacks of existing chemotherapeutics and counter neuropathic pain is an urgent unmet clinical need. Cannabinoid treatment has been reported to be beneficial for several disease conditions including neuropathic pain. Cannabinoids act by inhibiting the release of neurotransmitters from presynaptic nerve endings, modulating the excitation of postsynaptic neurons, activating descending inhibitory pain pathways, reducing neural inflammation and oxidative stress and also correcting autophagy defects. This review provides insights on the various preclinical and clinical therapeutic applications of cannabidiol (CBD), cannabigerol (CBG), and cannabinol (CBN) in various diseases and the ongoing clinical trials for the treatment of chronic and acute pain with cannabinoids. Pharmacological and genetic experimental strategies have well demonstrated the potential neuroprotective effects of cannabinoids and also elaborated their mechanism of action for the therapy of neuropathic pain.

Abstract
The anticancer drug cisplatin (CisPt) injures post-mitotic neuronal cells, leading to neuropathy. Furthermore, CisPt triggers cell death in replicating cells. Here, we aim to unravel the relevance of different types of CisPt-induced DNA lesions for evoking neurotoxicity. To this end, we comparatively analyzed wild-type and loss of function mutants of C. elegans lacking key players of specific DNA repair pathways. Deficiency in ercc-1, which is essential for nucleotide excision repair (NER) and interstrand crosslink (ICL) repair, revealed the most pronounced enhancement in CisPt-induced neurotoxicity with respect to the functionality of post-mitotic chemosensory AWA neurons, without inducing neuronal cell death. Potentiation of CisPt-triggered neurotoxicity in ercc-1 mutants was accompanied by complex alterations in both basal and CisPt-stimulated mRNA expression of genes involved in the regulation of neurotransmission, including cat-4, tph-1, mod-1, glr-1, unc-30 and eat-18. Moreover, xpf-1, csb-1, csb-1;xpc-1 and msh-6 mutants were significantly more sensitive to CisPt-induced neurotoxicity than the wild-type, whereas xpc-1, msh-2, brc-1 and dog-1 mutants did not distinguish from the wild-type. The majority of DNA repair mutants also revealed increased basal germline apoptosis, which was analyzed for control. Yet, only xpc-1, xpc-1;csb-1 and dog-1 mutants showed elevated apoptosis in the germline following CisPt treatment. To conclude, we provide evidence that neurotoxicity, including sensory neurotoxicity, is triggered by CisPt-induced DNA intra- and interstrand crosslinks that are subject of repair by NER and ICL repair. We hypothesize that especially ERCC1/XPF, CSB and MSH6-related DNA repair protects from chemotherapy-induced neuropathy in the context of CisPt-based anticancer therapy.

Abstract
Chemotherapy-induced peripheral neurotoxicity (CIPN) is a major adverse event of anti-cancer drugs, which still lack standardized measurement and treatment methods. In the present study, we attempted to evaluate neuronal dysfunctions in cultured rodent primary peripheral neurons using a microelectrode array system. After exposure to typical anti-cancer drugs (i.e., paclitaxel, vincristine, oxaliplatin, and bortezomib), we successfully detected neurotoxicity in dorsal root ganglia neurons by measuring electrical activities, including impedance value and spontaneous activity. The impedance value decreased significantly for all compounds, even at low concentrations, which indicated cell loss and/or neurite degeneration. The spontaneous activity was also suppressed after exposure, which suggested neurotoxicity again. However, an acute response was observed for paclitaxel and bortezomib before toxicity, which showed different mechanisms based on compounds. Therefore, MEA measurement of impedance value could provide a simple assessment method for CIPN, combined with neuronal morphological changes.

Abstract
Multiple pathological mechanisms are involved in the development of chemotherapy-induced peripheral neurotoxicity (CIPN). Recent work has provided insights into the molecular mechanisms underlying chemotherapy-induced axonal degeneration. This review integrates evidence from preclinical and clinical work on the onset, progression and outcome of axonal degeneration in CIPN. We review likely triggers of axonal degeneration in CIPN and highlight evidence of molecular pathways involved in axonal degeneration and their relevance to CIPN, including SARM1-mediated axon degeneration pathway. We identify potential clinical markers of axonal dysfunction to provide early identification of toxicity as well as present potential treatment strategies to intervene in axonal degeneration pathways. A greater understanding of axonal degeneration processes in CIPN will provide important information regarding the development and progression of axonal dysfunction more broadly and will hopefully assist in the development of successful interventions for CIPN and other neurodegenerative disorders.

Abstract
Peripheral neuropathy is an important adverse effect caused by some chemotherapeutic agents, including oxaliplatin (OXA). OXA-induced peripheral neuropathy (OIPN) is a challenging condition due to diagnostic complexities and a lack of effective treatment. In this study, we investigated the antiallodynic effect of β-caryophyllene (BCP), a cannabinoid type 2 (CB2) receptor agonist, in a mouse model of OIPN. BCP treatment inhibited OXA-induced mechanical and cold allodynia in both preventive and therapeutic drug treatment regimens. Experiments with the CB2 receptor agonist GW405833 confirmed the role of CB2 receptors in OIPN. The CB2 antagonist SR144528 abrogated the anti-nociceptive effect of BCP on mechanical allodynia, without impacting OXA-induced sensitivity to cold. BCP decreased neuroinflammation, as inferred from TNF, IL-1β, IL-6, and IL-10 profiling, and also reduced ROS production, lipid peroxidation, and 4-hydroxynonenal protein adduct formation in the spinal cords of OXA-treated mice. BCP did not affect the antitumor response to OXA or its impact on blood cell counts, implying that the cytotoxicity of OXA was preserved. These results underscore BCP as a candidate drug for OIPN treatment via CB2 receptor-dependent mechanisms, and anti-inflammatory and antioxidant responses in the spinal cord.

Matsuda K, Han X, Matsuda N, Yamanaka M, Suzuki I. Development of an In Vitro Assessment Method for Chemotherapy-Induced Peripheral Neuropathy (CIPN) by Integrating a Microphysiological System (MPS) with Morphological Deep Learning of Soma and Axonal Images. TOXICS 2023; 11:848. [PMID: 37888698 PMCID: PMC10611258 DOI: 10.3390/toxics11100848] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/16/2023] [Revised: 10/07/2023] [Accepted: 10/08/2023] [Indexed: 10/28/2023]
Abstract
Several anticancer drugs used in cancer therapy induce chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy (CIPN), leading to dose reduction or therapy cessation. Consequently, there is a demand for an in vitro assessment method to predict CIPN and mechanisms of action (MoA) in drug candidate compounds. In this study, a method assessing the toxic effects of anticancer drugs on soma and axons using deep learning image analysis is developed, culturing primary rat dorsal root ganglion neurons with a microphysiological system (MPS) that separates soma from neural processes and training two artificial intelligence (AI) models on soma and axonal area images. Exposing the control compound DMSO, negative compound sucrose, and known CIPN-causing drugs (paclitaxel, vincristine, oxaliplatin, suramin, bortezomib) for 24 h, results show the somatic area-learning AI detected significant cytotoxicity for paclitaxel (* p < 0.05) and oxaliplatin (* p < 0.05). In addition, axonal area-learning AI detected significant axonopathy with paclitaxel (* p < 0.05) and vincristine (* p < 0.05). Combining these models, we detected significant toxicity in all CIPN-causing drugs (** p < 0.01) and could classify anticancer drugs based on their different MoA on neurons, suggesting that the combination of MPS-based culture segregating soma and axonal areas and AI image analysis of each area provides an effective evaluation method to predict CIPN from low concentrations and infer the MoA.

Abstract
Oxaliplatin triggered chemotherapy induced peripheral neuropathy (CIPN) is a common and debilitating side effect of cancer treatment which limits the efficacy of chemotherapy and negatively impacts patients quality of life dramatically. For better understanding the mechanisms of CIPN and screen for potential therapeutic targets, it is critical to have reliable in vitro assays that effectively mirror the neuropathy in vivo . In this study, we established a dorsal root ganglia (DRG) explant model. This model displayed dose-dependent inhibition of neurite outgrowth in response to oxaliplatin, while oxalic acid exhibited no significant impact on the regrowth of DRG. The robustness of this assay was further demonstrated by the inhibition of OCT2 transporter, which facilitates oxaliplatin accumulation in neurons, fully restoring the neurite regrowth capacity. Using this model, we revealed that oxaliplatin triggered a substantial increase of oxidative stress in DRG. Notably, inhibition of TXNIP with verapamil significantly reduced oxidative stress level. Our results demonstrated the use of DRG explants as an efficient model to study the mechanisms of CIPN and screen for potential treatments.

Abstract
C-type natriuretic peptide (CNP) exhibits anti-inflammatory activity besides its natriuretic and diuretic functions. The present study aimed to determine the anticancer and synergistic therapeutic activity of CNP against a 7,12-Dimethylbenz[a]anthracene (DMBA)/Croton oil-induced skin tumor mouse model. CNP (2.5 µg/kg body weight) was injected either alone and/or in combination with Cisplatin (CDDP) (2 mg/kg body weight) for 4 weeks. The dorsal skin tumor incidences/growth and mortality rate were recorded during the experimental period of 16 weeks. The serum C-reactive protein (CRP), and lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) levels, infiltrating mast cells, and AgNORs proliferating cells count were analyzed in control and experimental mice. Further, the expression profile of marker genes of proliferation, inflammation, and progression molecules were analyzed using Reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR)/quantitative PCR (qPCR), western blot, and immunohistochemistry. The DMBA/Croton oil-induced mice exhibited 100% tumor incidence. Whereas, CNP alone, CDDP alone, and CNP+CDDP combination-treated mice exhibited 58%, 46%, and 24% tumor incidence, respectively. Also, a marked reduction in the levels of serum CRP and LDH, the number of infiltrating mast cells count and AgNORs proliferating cells count were noticed in the mice skin sections. Further, a significant reduction in both mRNA and protein expression levels of proliferation, inflammation, and progression markers were noticed in CNP (p < 0.01), CDDP (p < 0.01), and CNP+CDDP combination (p < 0.001) treated mice, respectively. The results of the present study suggest that CNP has anticancer activity. Further, the CNP+CDDP treatment has more promising anticancer activity as compared with CNP or CDDP alone treatment, probably due to the synergistic antiproliferative and anti-inflammatory activities of CNP and CDDP.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy (CIPN) is a common consequence of cancer treatment that can be persistent and difficult to manage. Dorsal root ganglion stimulation (DRG-S) is a recently introduced but understudied treatment modality. This study explored the effect of DRG-S on pain and symptom burden associated with CIPN. METHODS Patients with CIPN who underwent a DRG-S trial between January 2017 and August 2022 were identified through chart review after IRB approval was obtained. Demographic data, procedure details, pre-and postoperative scores, including the Numerical Rating Scale (NRS) and Edmonton Symptom Assessment System (ESAS), and duration of follow-up were recorded. Statistical analysis included descriptive statistics and paired t-tests to compare pre-and postoperative scores. RESULTS Nine patients with an even mix of solid and hematologic malignancies underwent DRG-S trial and had a statistically significant decrease in NRS scores, with a mean reduction of 2.3 in their average pain (p = 0.014), 2.6 in worst pain (p = 0.023), and 2.1 in least pain (p = 0.018). Eight patients (88.9%) underwent permanent DRG-S implantation. Mean NRS scores remained lower than preoperative baselines through the first year of follow-up. Statistically significant reductions were noted at 3 months in average (2.1, p = 0.006) and least pain scores (1.9, p = 0.045), which further decreased after 6-12 months (average: 3.6, p = 0.049; least: 3.4, p = 0.023). Only the pain component of ESAS scores showed a significant reduction with DRG-S (2.0, p = 0.021). All patients endorsed improved sensation, 75% decreased their pain medication usage, and 37.5% reported complete pain relief by 2 years. CONCLUSION Dorsal root ganglion stimulation can be an effective treatment for pain related to CIPN and deserves further investigation.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIMS Cisplatin is a chemotherapeutic agent for many types of cancer. The neurotoxicity of cisplatin includes neuropathy and allodynia. We aimed to study structural changes by using CYM54-78, attenuating cisplatin-induced neuropathy and blocking the pathogenesis in neurons, and promoting axonal regeneration. METHODS TEM (transmission electron microscopy) was used to distinguish ultrastructural changes in dorsal root ganglion (DRG) and dorsal rootlets (DR) between rats treated with cisplatin alone and rats co-treated with cisplatin and sphingosine -1-phosphate receptor2 (S1P2) agonist, CYM-5478. RESULTS In DRG of rats treated with cisplatin alone, TEM micrographs showed necrosis and apoptotic cells. Neuronal cytoplasm showed numerous vacuole (stage C) and swelling (stage B➔C) mitochondrial degeneration. Neurons in DRG from cisplatin+CYM-5478 group showed a higher percentage of healthy mitochondria (from 5.3% to 75.6%) than those treated with cisplatin alone. DR of cisplatin only group showed abnormal axoplasm, axolemma, and focal detached myelin sheaths, especially in Aδ (fast pain) and Aβ (touch) fibers, and revealed collateral branches that sprouted from Aβ fibers, which is characteristic of allodynia. Moreover, vasoconstriction was observed in DRG and DR. Rats in cisplatin+CYM-5478 group showed not only fewer abnormal structures than those in cisplatin only group, but also showed Bands of Büngner and onion bulb-like structures, which are characteristic of nerve regeneration. INTERPRETATION Together with our previous study, showed that CYM-5478 attenuated neuropathy and allodynia in a rat model of cisplatin-induced neuropathy, these results suggest S1P2 agonists as a potential approach the for treatment of cancer due to the reduction of side effects of cisplatin.

Abstract
The hyperpolarization-activated cation current (Ih) exhibits a slowly activating time course of the current (Ih) when the cell membrane is hyperpolarized for an extended duration. It is involved in generating electrical activity in various excitable cells. Numerous structurally distinct compounds or herbal drugs have the potential to impact both the magnitude and gating kinetics of this current. Brivaracetam, a chemical analog of levetiracetam known to be a ligand for synaptic vesicle protein 2A, could directly suppress the Ih magnitude. Carisbamate, an anticonvulsant agent, not only inhibited the Ih amplitude but also reduced the strength of voltage-dependent hysteresis (Hys(V)) associated with Ih. Cilobradine, similar to ivabradine, inhibited the amplitude of Ih; however, it also suppressed the amplitude of delayed-rectifier K+ currents. Dexmedetomidine, an agonist of α2-adrenergic receptor, exerted a depressant action on Ih in a concentration-dependent fashion. Suppression of Ih amplitude was observed when GAL-021, a breathing control modulator, was present at a concentration exceeding 30 μM. Lutein, one of the few xanthophyll carotenoids, was able to suppress the Ih amplitude as well as to depress Hys(V)'s strength of Ih. Pirfenidone, a pyridine derivative known to be an anti-fibrotic agent, depressed the Ih magnitude in a concentration- and voltage-dependent fashion. Tramadol, a synthetic centrally active analgesic, was shown to reduce the Ih magnitude, independent of its interaction with opioid receptors. Various herbal drugs, including ent-kaurane-type diterpenoids from Croton tonkinensis, Ganoderma triterpenoids, honokiol, and pterostilbene, demonstrated efficacy in reducing the magnitude of Ih. Conversely, oxaliplatin, a platinum-based chemotherapeutic compound, was observed to effectively increase the Ih amplitude. Collectively, the regulatory effects of these compounds or herbal drugs on cellular function can be partly attributed to their perturbations on Ih.

Abstract
Oxaliplatin-based chemotherapy is a standard treatment approach for colorectal cancer (CRC). However, oxaliplatin-induced peripheral neurotoxicity (OIPN) is a severe dose-limiting clinical problem that might lead to treatment interruption. This neuropathy may be reversible after treatment discontinuation. Its complicated mechanisms are related to DNA damage, dysfunction of voltage-gated ion channels, neuroinflammation, transporters, oxidative stress, and mitochondrial dysfunction, etc. Several strategies have been proposed to diminish OIPN without compromising the efficacy of adjuvant therapy, namely, combination with chemoprotectants (such as glutathione, Ca/Mg, ibudilast, duloxetine, etc.), chronomodulated infusion, dose reduction, reintroduction of oxaliplatin and topical administration [hepatic arterial infusion chemotherapy (HAIC), pressurized intraperitoneal aerosol chemotherapy (PIPAC), and hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC)]. This article provides recent updates related to the potential mechanisms, therapeutic strategies in treatment of OIPN, and pharmacokinetics of several methods of oxaliplatin administration in clinical trials.

Toxicol Lett 2023; 384:149-160.

Abstract
The voltage-gated sodium channel subtype Nav1.6 is involved in the electrophysiological changes of primary sensory neurons that occur in oxaliplatin-induced neuropathic pain, but its regulatory mechanism remains unclear. In this study, Western blot, RT-qPCR, immunofluorescence staining, chromatin immunoprecipitation were used to prove the mechanism of MAPK-ERK-CREB signaling pathway participating in oxaliplatin-induced neuropathic pain by regulating Nav1.6. The results showed that p-Raf1 and p-ERK, key molecules in MAPK/ERK pathway, and Nav1.6 were significantly increased in DRGs of oxaliplatin-induced neuropathic pain rats. Inhibition of p-Raf1 and p-ERK respectively not only reduced the expression of Nav1.6 protein in DRGs of OXA rats, but also caused a decrease in Nav1.6 mRNA, which led us to further explore the transcription factor CREB regulated by MAPK/ERK pathway. Results showed that CREB was co-distributed with Nav1.6. Inhibition of CREB resulted in decreased mRNA and protein expression of Nav1.6, and alleviated oxaliplatin-induced neuropathic pain. A chromatin immunoprecipitation experiment proved that OXA caused p-CREB to directly bind to the promoter region of Scn8A, which is the encoding gene for Nav1.6, and promote the transcription of Scn8A. In summary, in this study, we found that oxaliplatin can activate the MAPK/ERK pathway, which promotes the expression and activation of CREB and leads to an increase in Scn8A transcription, and then leads to an increase in Nav1.6 protein expression to enhance neuronal excitability and cause pain. This study provides an experimental basis for the molecular mechanism of sodium channel regulation in oxaliplatin-induced neuropathic pain.

Abstract
Extracellular vesicles (EVs) as membrane structures of cellular origin participating in intercellular communication are involved in the molecular mechanisms of the development of various variants of polyneuropathy. Taking into account the increasing role of the protein corona of EVs and protein-protein interactions on the surface of EVs in the pathogenesis of various diseases, we focused our attention in this review on the role of intravesicular proteins and the protein corona of EVs in the development of chemotherapy-induced polyneuropathy (CIPN). It has been shown that EVs are effectively internalized by the mechanisms of endocytosis and macropinocytosis by neurocytes and glial cells, carry markers of insulin resistance, functionally active proteins (receptors, cytokines, enzymes), and may be involved in the pathogenesis of CIPN. The mechanisms of CIPN associated with the EVs protein corona can be related with the accumulation of heavy chains of circulating IgG in it. G-class immunoglobulins in EVs are likely to have myelin hydrolyzing, superoxide dismutase, and oxidoreductase enzymatic activities. Moreover, circulating IgG-loaded EVs are a place for complement activation that can lead to membrane attack complex deposition in neuroglia and neurons. The mechanisms of CIPN development that are not associated with IgG in the EVs protein corona are somehow related to the fact that many anticancer drugs induce apoptosis of tumor cells, neurons, and neuroglial cells by various mechanisms. This process may be accompanied by the secretion of EVs with modified cargo (HSPs, 20S proteasomes, miRNAs).

[PMID: 36982352 PMCID: PMC10049472 DOI: 10.3390/ijms24065279] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/14/2023] [Revised: 03/01/2023] [Accepted: 03/07/2023] [Indexed: 03/12/2023] Open
Abstract
Chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy (CIPN) is one of the most detrimental toxicity to a patient’s quality of life. Pathophysiological mechanisms involved in CIPN pathogenesis are complex, multifactorial, and only partially examined. They are suspected to be associated with oxidative stress (OS), mitochondrial dysfunction, ROS-induced apoptosis, myelin sheath and DNA damage, and immunological and inflammatory processes. Unfortunately, medications commonly used for the management of other neuropathic pain syndromes, including gabapentinoids, opioids, and tricyclic antidepressants (such as desipramine and nortriptyline), do not bring satisfactory results in CIPN. The aim of this review is to evaluate the existing literature on the potential use of medical ozone as a treatment for CIPN. This paper would explore the potential therapeutic benefits of medical ozone. The review would evaluate the existing literature on the use of medical ozone in other contexts, as well as its potential application in treating CIPN. The review would also suggest possible research methods, such as randomized controlled trials, to evaluate the efficacy of medical ozone as a treatment for CIPN. Medical ozone has been used to disinfect and treat diseases for over 150 years. The effectiveness of ozone in treating infections, wounds, and a variety of diseases has been well documented. Ozone therapy is also documented to inhibit the growth of human cancer cells and has antioxidative and anti-inflammatory effects. Due to its ability to modulate oxidative stress, inflammation, and ischemia/hypoxia, ozone may have a potentially valuable effect on CIPN.

Abstract
Nausea and vomiting are common gastrointestinal side effects of oxaliplatin chemotherapy used for the treatment of colorectal cancer. However, the mechanism underlying oxaliplatin-induced nausea and vomiting is unknown. The stomach is involved in the emetic reflex but no study investigated the effects of oxaliplatin treatment on the stomach. In this study, the in vivo effects of oxaliplatin treatment on eating behaviour, stomach content, intrinsic gastric neuronal population, extrinsic innervation to the stomach, levels of mucosal serotonin (5-hydroxytryptamine, 5-HT), and parasympathetic vagal efferent nerve activity were analysed. Chronic systemic oxaliplatin treatment in mice resulted in pica, indicated by increased kaolin consumption and a reduction in body weight. Oxaliplatin treatment significantly increased the stomach weight and content. The total number of myenteric and nitric oxide synthase-immunoreactive neurons as well as the density of sympathetic, parasympathetic, and sensory fibres in the stomach were decreased significantly with oxaliplatin treatment. Oxaliplatin treatment significantly increased the levels in mucosal 5-HT and the number of enterochromaffin-like cells. Chronic oxaliplatin treatment also caused a significant increase in the vagal efferent nerve activity. The findings of this study indicate that oxaliplatin exposure has adverse effects on multiple components of gastric innervation, which could be responsible for pica and gastric dysmotility.

Abstract
Peripheral neuropathy is a common disorder that results from nerve damage in the periphery. The degeneration of sensory axon terminals leads to changes or loss of sensory functions, often manifesting as debilitating pain, weakness, numbness, tingling, and disability. The pathogenesis of most peripheral neuropathies remains to be fully elucidated. Cumulative evidence from both early and recent studies indicates that tubulin damage may provide a common underlying mechanism of axonal injury in various peripheral neuropathies. In particular, tubulin post-translational modifications have been recently implicated in both toxic and inherited forms of peripheral neuropathy through regulation of axonal transport and mitochondria dynamics. This knowledge forms a new area of investigation with the potential for developing therapeutic strategies to prevent or delay peripheral neuropathy by restoring tubulin homeostasis.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Cisplatin is considered one of the most effective and commonly used chemotherapeutic drugs, but despite its high therapeutic effectiveness, most patients treated with cisplatin suffer from nausea and vomiting, neurotoxic side effects, and cerebral psychiatric disorders such as depression. Therefore, the aim of the current work was to explore whether a selective 5-HT3 receptor antagonist (Ondansetron) administered via the oral route or intranasally in microemulsion form would alleviate cisplatin's adverse effects. METHODS The selected ondansetron microemulsion was characterized in vitro for particle size, polydispersity, zeta potential, morphology, and nasal permeation, and in vivo in terms of anti-emetic and antidepressant activity, with the assessment of biochemical markers in brain homogenates. RESULTS Results revealed that both orally administered ondansetron and intranasally administered microemulsion were able to counteract the pica effect by increasing food consumption, water intake, and decreasing kaolin intake. They were also able to increase BDNF, normalize IL-6, increase serotonin, and normalize NOx, MDA, GSSH/GSH as well as 8OHdG levels in rats' brain homogenates. The intranasal ondansetron microemulsion displayed superiority compared to oral conventional ondansetron in terms of increasing food intake, reduction of stomach content, and normalization of serotonin turnover. CONCLUSION Ondansetron microemulsion can be administered by an alternative route of administration (intranasal) rather than oral, for patients on cisplatin chemotherapy.

Abstract
Platinum (Pt)-based chemotherapy has been necessary for clinical cancer treatment. However, traditional bivalent drugs are hindered by poor physicochemical properties, severe toxic side effects, and drug resistance. Currently, elemental Pt(0) nanotherapeutics (NTs) have emerged to tackle the dilemma. The inherent acid-responsiveness of Pt(0) NTs could help to improve tumor selectivity and alleviate toxic effects. Moreover, the metal nature of Pt facilitates the great combination of Pt(0) NTs with photothermal and photodynamic therapy and imaging-guided diagnosis. Based on recent important researches, this review provides an updated introduction to Pt(0) NTs. First, the challenges of traditional Pt-based chemotherapy have been outlined. Then, Pt(0) NTs with multiple applications of tumor theranostics have been overviewed. Furthermore, the combinations of Pt(0) NTs with other therapeutical modalities are introduced. Last but not least, we envision the possible challenges and prospects associated with Pt(0) NTs.

Abstract
Chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy (CIPN) is the most common neurologic complication of chemotherapy, resulting in symptoms like pain, sensory loss, and numbness in the hands and feet that cause lots of uneasiness in patients with cancer. They often suffer from pain so severe that it interrupts the treatment, thus invalidating the entire chemotherapy-based healing process, and significantly reducing their quality of life. In this paper, we underline the role of the complement system in CIPN, highlighting the relevance of the C5a fragment and its receptor C5aR1, whose activation is thought to be involved in triggering a cascade of events that can lead to CIPN onset. Recent experimental data showed the ability of docetaxel and paclitaxel to specifically bind and activate C5aR1, thus shining light on one of the molecular mechanisms by which taxanes may activate a cascade of events leading to neuropathy. According to these new evidence, it was possible to suggest new mechanisms underlying the pathophysiology of CIPN. Hence, the C5a/C5aR1 axis may represent a new target for CIPN treatment, and the use of C5aR1 inhibitors can be proposed as a potential new therapeutic option to manage this high unmet medical need.

Abstract
Oxaliplatin (OHP) is a platinum-based agent that can cause peripheral neuropathy, an adverse effect in which the dorsal root ganglion (DRG) neurons are targeted. Zonisamide has exhibited neuroprotective activities toward adult rat DRG neurons in vitro and therefore, we aimed to assess its potential efficacy against OHP-induced neurotoxicity. Pretreatment with zonisamide (100 μM) alleviated the DRG neuronal death caused by OHP (75 μM) and the protective effects were attenuated by a co-incubation with 25 μM of the mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK; MEK/ERK) inhibitor, U0126, or the phosphatidyl inositol-3′-phosphate-kinase (PI3K) inhibitor, LY294002. Pretreatment with zonisamide also suppressed the OHP-induced p38 MAPK phosphorylation in lined DRG neurons, ND7/23, while the OHP-induced DRG neuronal death was alleviated by pretreatment with the p38 MAPK inhibitor, SB239063 (25 μM). Although zonisamide failed to protect the immortalized rat Schwann cells IFRS1 from OHP-induced cell death, it prevented neurite degeneration and demyelination-like changes, as well as the reduction of the serine/threonine-specific protein kinase (AKT) phosphorylation in DRG neuron–IFRS1 co-cultures exposed to OHP. Zonisamide’s neuroprotection against the OHP-induced peripheral sensory neuropathy is possibly mediated by a stimulation of the MEK/ERK and PI3K/AKT signaling pathways and suppression of the p38 MAPK pathway in DRG neurons. Future studies will allow us to solidify zonisamide as a promising remedy against the neurotoxic adverse effects of OHP.

Abstract
Background Chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy represents a major impairment to the quality of life of cancer patients and is one of the most common dose-limiting adverse effects of cancer treatment. Despite its prevalence, no effective treatment or prevention strategy exists. We have previously provided genetic evidence that the NAD+-dependent deacetylase, SIRT2, protects against cisplatin-induced peripheral neuronal cell death and neuropathy by enhancing nucleotide excision repair. In this study, we aimed to examine whether pharmacologic activation of SIRT2 would provide effective prevention and treatment of cisplatin-induced peripheral neuropathy (CIPN) without compromising tumor cell cytotoxic response to cisplatin. Methods Using von Frey and dynamic hot plate tests, we studied the use of nicotinamide riboside (NR) to prevent and treat CIPN in a mouse model. We also performed cell survival assays to investigate the effect of NAD+ supplementation on cisplatin toxicity in neuronal and cancer cells. Lewis lung carcinoma model was utilized to examine the effect of NR treatment on in vivo cisplatin tumor control. Results We show that NR, an NAD+ precursor and pharmacologic activator of SIRT2, effectively prevents and alleviates CIPN in mice. We present in vitro and in vivo genetic evidence to illustrate the specific dependence on SIRT2 of NR-mediated CIPN mitigation. Importantly, we demonstrate that NAD+ mediates SIRT2-dependent neuroprotection without inhibiting cisplatin cytotoxic activity against cancer cells. NAD+ may, in fact, further sensitize certain cancer cell types to cisplatin. Conclusions Together, our results identify SIRT2-targeted activity of NR as a potential therapy to alleviate CIPN, the debilitating and potentially permanent toxicity.

Abstract
Chemotherapy causes sensory disturbances in cancer patients that results in neuropathies and pain. As cancer survivorships has dramatically increased over the past 10 years, pain management of these patients is becoming clinically more important. Current analgesic strategies are mainly ineffective and long-term use is associated with severe side effects. The issue being that common analgesic strategies are based on ubiquitous pain mediator pathways, so when applied to clinically diverse neuropathic pain and neurological conditions, are unsuccessful. This is principally due to the lack of understanding of the driving forces that lead to chemotherapy induced neuropathies. It is well documented that chemotherapy causes sensory neurodegeneration through axonal atrophy and intraepidermal fibre degeneration causing alterations in pain perception. Despite the neuropathological alterations associated with chemotherapy-induced neuropathic pain being extensively researched, underlying causes remain elusive. Resent evidence from patient and rodent studies have indicated a prominent inflammatory cell component in the peripheral sensory nervous system in effected areas post chemotherapeutic treatment. This is accompanied by modulation of auxiliary cells of the dorsal root ganglia sensory neurons such as activation of satellite glia and capillary dysfunction. The presence of a neuroinflammatory component was supported by transcriptomic analysis of dorsal root ganglia taken from mice treated with common chemotherapy agents. With key inflammatory mediators identified, having potent immunoregulatory effects that directly influences nociception. We aim to evaluate the current understanding of these immune-neuronal interactions across different cancer therapy drug classes. In the belief this may lead to better pain management approaches for cancer survivors.

Abstract
Oxaliplatin is a widely used chemotherapeutic agent. Despite its many beneficial aspects in fighting many malignancies, it shares an aversive effect of neuropathy. Many substances have been used to limit this oxaliplatin-driven neuropathy in patients. This study evaluates the neuroprotective role of a grape pomace extract (GPE) into an oxaliplatin induced neuropathy in rats. For this reason, following the delivery of the substance into the animals prior to or simultaneously with oxaliplatin, their performance was evaluated by behavioral tests. Blood tests were also performed for the antioxidant activity of the extract, along with a histological and pathological evaluation of dorsal root ganglion (DRG) cells as the major components of the neuropathy. All behavioral tests were corrected following the use of the grape pomace. Oxidative stressors were also limited with the use of the extract. Additionally, the morphometrical analysis of the DRG cells and their immunohistochemical phenotype revealed the fidelity of the animal model and the changes into the parvalbumin and GFAP concentration indicative of the neuroprotective role of the pomace. In conclusion, the grape pomace extract with its antioxidant properties alleviates the harmful effects of the oxaliplatin induced chronic neuropathy in rats.

Abstract
ABSTRACT Activation of toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4) in the dorsal root ganglion (DRG) and spinal cord contributes to the generation of paclitaxel-related chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy (CIPN). Generalizability of TLR4 signaling in oxaliplatin-induced CIPN was tested here. Mechanical hypersensitivity developed in male SD rats by day 1 after oxaliplatin treatment, reached maximum intensity by day 14, and persisted through day 35. Western blot revealed an increase in TLR4 expression in the DRG of oxaliplatin at days 1 and 7 after oxaliplatin treatment. Cotreatment of rats with the TLR4 antagonist lipopolysaccharide derived from Rhodobacter sphaeroides ultrapure or with the nonspecific immunosuppressive minocycline with oxaliplatin resulted in significantly attenuated hyperalgesia on day 7 and 14 compared with rats that received oxaliplatin plus saline vehicle. Immunostaining of DRGs revealed an increase in the number of neurons expressing TLR4, its canonical downstream signal molecules myeloid differentiation primary response gene 88 (MyD88) and TIR-domain-containing adapter-inducing interferon-β, at both day 7 and day 14 after oxaliplatin treatment. These increases were blocked by cotreatment with either lipopolysaccharide derived from Rhodobacter sphaeroides or minocycline. Double staining showed the localization of TLR4, MyD88, and TIR-domain-containing adapter-inducing interferon-β in subsets of DRG neurons. Finally, there was no significant difference in oxaliplatin-induced mechanical hypersensitivity between male and female rats when observed for 2 weeks. Furthermore, upregulation of TLR4 was detected in both sexes when tested 14 days after treatment with oxaliplatin. These findings suggest that the activation of TLR4 signaling in DRG neurons is a common mechanism in CIPN induced by multiple cancer chemotherapy agents.

Prevention of anticancer therapy-induced neurotoxicity: putting DNA damage in perspective. Neurotoxicology 2022; 91:1-10. [PMID: 35487345 DOI: 10.1016/j.neuro.2022.04.009] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/17/2022] [Revised: 04/21/2022] [Accepted: 04/22/2022] [Indexed: 11/24/2022]
Abstract
Chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy (CIPN) is a severe side effect of conventional cancer therapeutics (cAT) that significantly impacts the quality of life of tumor patients. The molecular mechanisms of CIPN are incompletely understood and there are no effective preventive or therapeutic measures available to date. Here, we present a brief overview of the current knowledge about mechanisms underlying CIPN and discuss DNA damage-related stress responses as feasible targets for the prevention of CIPN. In addition, we discuss that the nematode Caenorhabditis elegans is a useful 3R-conform model organism to further elucidate molecular mechanisms of CIPN and to identify novel lead compounds protecting from cAT-triggered neuropathy.

JOURNAL OF ETHNOPHARMACOLOGY 2022; 288:114938. [PMID: 34999144 DOI: 10.1016/j.jep.2021.114938] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/27/2021] [Revised: 12/10/2021] [Accepted: 12/21/2021] [Indexed: 06/14/2023]
Abstract
ETHNOPHARMACOLOGICAL RELEVANCE Silybum marianum is a traditional Chinese medicine that has been used for treating liver disease. Silybin consisting of silybin A and silybin B, is a member of Silybum marianum, and exerts a therapeutic effect on many diseases. However, the protective effect of silybin on cisplatin-induced neurotoxicity and the stereoisomer contributing to the effect remain unknown. AIM OF THE STUDY The present study aimed to study the effect of silybin on cisplatin-induced neuronal injury, compare the difference of protective effect between silybin A and silybin B, and the potential mechanism. MATERIALS AND METHODS High performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) was used to separate silybin A and silybin B. X-ray crystallographic analysis in combination with experimental and calculated ECD were performed to identify the structure of silybin A and silybin B. The toxicity of the silybin or cisplatin against murine hippocampal neuronal HT22 cells was determined through MTT assay. The cell cycle and cell apoptosis were measured by PI staining and Annexin V-FITC/PI staining, respectively, and then subjected to flow cytometry. Western blot analysis was conducted to quantify the expression of proteins related to apoptosis and DNA damage. Immunofluorescence was used to evaluate the expression of DNA damage marker. In vivo experiment, the behavioral analysis was determined through pole test, swimming test and Morris water maze test. The index of superoxide dismutase (SOD), reduced glutathione (GSH), total antioxidant capacity (T-AOC) and lipid peroxidation (LPO) were examined to evaluate the antioxidant capacity in mice brain. Nissl staining and Tunel assay were used to detect the neuronal viability and apoptosis in hippocampus. RESULTS We successfully separated and identified silybin A and silybin B. We found both silybin A and silybin B alleviated cisplatin-induced apoptosis and cell cycle arrest in HT22 cells, and silybin B was more effective. We chose silybin B for further mechanism investigation, and found silybin B alleviated DNA damage by enhancing phosphorylation of ATR and decreasing expression of γ-H2AX. In the in vivo experiment, we observed that silybin B markedly improved the behavioral abnormalities in cisplatin-treated mice, reduced LPO level while increased SOD, GSH and T-AOC in mice brain tissue. Nissl staining and Tunel assay showed that silybin B alleviated cisplatin-induced hippocampal damage. CONCLUSIONS These results suggest that silybin B might serve as a promising drug candidate in mitigating cisplatin-induced neural injury in the brain and thereby improving the chemotherapeutic outcomes.

Abstract
Since the first clinical trials conducted after World War II, chemotherapeutic drugs have been extensively used in the clinic as the main cancer treatment either alone or as an adjuvant therapy before and after surgery. Although the use of chemotherapeutic drugs improved the survival of cancer patients, these drugs are notorious for causing many severe side effects that significantly reduce the efficacy of anti-cancer treatment and patients’ quality of life. Many widely used chemotherapy drugs including platinum-based agents, taxanes, vinca alkaloids, proteasome inhibitors, and thalidomide analogs may cause direct and indirect neurotoxicity. In this review we discuss the main effects of chemotherapy on the peripheral and central nervous systems, including neuropathic pain, chemobrain, enteric neuropathy, as well as nausea and emesis. Understanding mechanisms involved in chemotherapy-induced neurotoxicity is crucial for the development of drugs that can protect the nervous system, reduce symptoms experienced by millions of patients, and improve the outcome of the treatment and patients’ quality of life.

Abstract
AIM OF THE STUDY Cisplatin is a platinum-derived chemotherapeutic agent commonly used in the treatment of various tumors. Ototoxicity, nephrotoxicity, and peripheral neuropathy are the most common side effects of this drug. 2-Aminoethoxydiphenyl borate (2-APB), boron- containing compound, has some protective effects against various tissue damage. The present study aimed to investigate the potential protective effects of 2-APB on in vitro and in vivo cisplatin-induced neurotoxicity. MATERIALS AND METHODS MTT assay was used to determine cell viability in DRG cells. Peripheral neuropathy was induced in forty male Sprague-Dawley rats (200-250g) by administering cisplatin (3 mg/kg/week) intraperitoneally (i.p) for five weeks. 2-APB (2, 4, and 8 mg/kg, i.p) was administered. Mechanical allodynia, thermal hyperalgesia, cold allodynia, mechanical stimuli, motor coordination, and locomotor activity tests were performed. DRG cells and sciatic nerves were analyzed histologically. NGF, BDNF, TNF-α, GSH, MDA, and LDH levels were investigated in rat DRG tissue homogenates. RESULTS Our results revealed that 2-APB ameliorated cisplatin-induced neurotoxicity by improving mechanical and cold allodynia and motor coordination impairment. It also reduced cisplatin-induced structural toxicity in peripheral tissues. CONCLUSION These findings demonstrated that 2-APB could be considered as a potential therapeutic strategy for the treatment of cisplatin-induced peripheral neuropathy.

Abstract
Cisplatin can induce peripheral neuropathy, which is a common complication of anti-cancer treatment and negatively impacts cancer survivors during and after completion of treatment; therefore, the mechanisms by which cisplatin alters sensory neuronal function to elicit neuropathy are the subject of much investigation. Our previous work suggests that the DNA repair activity of APE1/Ref-1, the rate-limiting enzyme of the base excision repair (BER) pathway, is critical for neuroprotection against cisplatin. A specific role for 8-oxoguanine DNA glycosylase-1 (OGG1), the glycosylase that removes the most common oxidative DNA lesion, and putative coordination of OGG1 with APE1/Ref-1 in sensory neurons, has not been investigated. We investigated whether inhibiting OGG1 glycosylase activity with the small molecule inhibitor, TH5487, and/or APE1/Ref-1 endonuclease activity with APE Repair Inhibitor III would alter the neurotoxic effects of cisplatin in sensory neuronal cultures. Sensory neuron function was assessed by calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) release, as a marker of sensitivity and by neurite outgrowth. Cisplatin altered neuropeptide release in an inverse U-shaped fashion, with low concentrations enhancing and higher concentrations diminishing CGRP release. Pretreatment with BER inhibitors exacerbated the functional effects of cisplatin and enhanced 8oxo-dG and adduct lesions in the presence of cisplatin. Our studies demonstrate that inhibition of OGG1 and APE1 endonuclease activity enhances oxidative DNA damage and exacerbates neurotoxicity, thus limiting oxidative DNA damage in sensory neurons that might alleviate cisplatin-induced neuropathy.

Abstract
Testicular cancer is considered to be the model for the curable neoplasm, with outcomes improving from nearly universal fatality to nearly universal cure in the matter of two decades, driven largely in part by the accidental discovery and application of platinum chemotherapy. Such a diagnosis and treatment can have significant and long-lasting effects on patients, although with every such experience come learning opportunities. This autobiographical case report describes the author’s experience being diagnosed with testicular cancer, the challenges faced during treatment and survivorship, the lessons learned being a patient, and the way they guided him on his path to his current role as an adolescent and young adult (AYA) oncologist.

Abstract
Oxaliplatin, which is widely used in treating cancers such as colorectal cancer, frequently causes peripheral neuropathy. It not only significantly reduces the patient's quality of life due to physical distress but may also result in a change or discontinuation of cancer treatment. Oxaliplatin-induced peripheral neuropathy (OIPN) is classified as acute or chronic depending on the onset time of side effects; however, the prevention and treatment of OIPN has not been established. As these peripheral neuropathies are side effects that occur due to treatment, the administration of effective prophylaxis can effectively prevent their onset. Although transient relief of symptoms such as pain and numbness enable the continuation of cancer treatment, it may result in the worsening of peripheral neuropathy. Thus, understanding the pathological mechanisms of OIPN and finding better preventative measures are important. This review focuses on animal models to address these issues, clarifies the pathological mechanisms of OIPN, and summarizes various approaches to solving OIPN, including targets for preventing OIPN.

Abstract
PURPOSE This review provides an update on the current clinical, epidemiological and pathophysiological evidence alongside the diagnostic, prevention and treatment approach to chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy (CIPN). FINDINGS The incidence of cancer and long-term survival after treatment is increasing. CIPN affects sensory, motor and autonomic nerves and is one of the most common adverse events caused by chemotherapeutic agents, which in severe cases leads to dose reduction or treatment cessation, with increased mortality. The primary classes of chemotherapeutic agents associated with CIPN are platinum-based drugs, taxanes, vinca alkaloids, bortezomib and thalidomide. Platinum agents are the most neurotoxic, with oxaliplatin causing the highest prevalence of CIPN. CIPN can progress from acute to chronic, may deteriorate even after treatment cessation (a phenomenon known as coasting) or only partially attenuate. Different chemotherapeutic agents share both similarities and key differences in pathophysiology and clinical presentation. The diagnosis of CIPN relies heavily on identifying symptoms, with limited objective diagnostic approaches targeting the class of affected nerve fibres. Studies have consistently failed to identify at-risk cohorts, and there are no proven strategies or interventions to prevent or limit the development of CIPN. Furthermore, multiple treatments developed to relieve symptoms and to modify the underlying disease in CIPN have failed. IMPLICATIONS The increasing prevalence of CIPN demands an objective approach to identify at-risk patients in order to prevent or limit progression and effectively alleviate the symptoms associated with CIPN. An evidence base for novel targets and both pharmacological and non-pharmacological treatments is beginning to emerge and has been recognised recently in publications by the American Society of Clinical Oncology and analgesic trial design expert groups such as ACTTION.

Abstract
Chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy (CIPN) is widely recognized as a potentially severe toxicity that often leads to dose reduction or discontinuation of cancer treatment. Symptoms may persist despite discontinuation of chemotherapy and quality of life can be severely compromised. The clinical symptoms of CIPN, and the cellular and molecular targets involved in CIPN, are just as diverse as the wide variety of anticancer agents that cause peripheral neurotoxicity. There is an urgent need for extensive molecular and functional investigations aimed at understanding the mechanisms of CIPN. Furthermore, a reliable human cell culture system that recapitulates the diversity of neuronal modalities found in vivo and the pathophysiological changes that underlie CIPN would serve to advance the understanding of the pathogenesis of CIPN. The demonstration of experimental reproducibility in a human peripheral neuronal cell system will increase confidence that such an in vitro model is clinically useful, ultimately resulting in deeper exploration for the prevention and treatment of CIPN. Herein, we review current in vitro models with a focus on key characteristics and attributes desirable for an ideal human cell culture model relevant for CIPN investigations.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Chronic oxaliplatin-induced peripheral neurotoxicity (OIPN) is the most troublesome and dose-limiting side effect of oxaliplatin. There is no effective treatment for chronic OIPN. We conducted a randomised controlled trial to investigate the efficacy of monosialotetrahexosylganglioside (GM1) in treating chronic OIPN. METHODS In this single-centre, double-blind, phase Ⅲ trial, gastrointestinal cancer patients with persistent chronic OIPN were randomised in 1:1 ratio to receive either GM1 or placebo at Tianjin Medical University Cancer Institute and Hospital, China. GM1 was dosed at 60 mg daily for every 3 weeks or 40 mg daily for every 2 weeks. Seven- and fourteen- day infusions were administered to concurrent oxaliplatin users and oxaliplatin discontinuation patients, respectively. The primary endpoint was the relief of neurotoxicity (≥30% improvement), measured by a newly developed patient reported outcome measure (MCIPN) based on prior questionnaires including the European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer Quality of Life Chemotherapy Induced Peripheral Neuropathy Questionnaire twenty-item scale. Visual analogue score (VAS) was used as another instrument for patients to evaluate the total Chronic OIPN treatment effect. VAS responders (≥30% improvement), double responders (≥30% improvement in both MCIPN and VAS), and high responders (≥50% improvement in the MCIPN total score) were also calculated. The secondary endpoints were safety and quality of life. The additional endpoints are progression-free survival (PFS), disease-free survival (DFS), overall survival (OS), and tumour response. (Trial registration number: NCT02486198 at ClinicalTrials.gov). FINDINGS Between May 2015 to December 2017, 145 patients were randomly assigned to receive either GM1 (n=73) and placebo (n=72). Majority of the patients in both arms (90% in GM1 and 83% in placebo) continued receiving oxaliplatin on the trial. More patients responded in the GM1 group than in the placebo group (MCIPN responders: 53% vs 14%, VAS responders: 49% vs 22%, double responders: 41% vs 7%, and high responders: 32% vs 13%, all P < ·01). Analyses were also performed in concurrent oxaliplatin users. The results were consistent with those of the whole group. No deleterious effects of GM1 on survival or tumour response were found. There were no ≥G3 GM1-related adverse events. INTERPRETATION In patients with chronic OIPN, the use of GM1 reduces the severity of chronic OIPN compared with placebo. FUNDING This work was supported by clinical trial development fund of Tianjin Medical University Cancer Institute and Hospital (No.C1706).

JOURNAL OF EXPERIMENTAL & CLINICAL CANCER RESEARCH : CR 2021; 40:331. [PMID: 34686205 PMCID: PMC8532307 DOI: 10.1186/s13046-021-02141-z] [Citation(s) in RCA: 18] [Impact Index Per Article: 6.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/22/2021] [Accepted: 10/12/2021] [Indexed: 12/17/2022]
Abstract
Oxaliplatin (OHP)-induced peripheral neurotoxicity (OIPN) is a severe clinical problem and potentially permanent side effect of cancer treatment. For the management of OIPN, accurate diagnosis and understanding of significant risk factors including genetic vulnerability are essential to improve knowledge regarding the prevalence and incidence of OIPN as well as enhance strategies for the prevention and treatment of OIPN. The molecular mechanisms underlying OIPN are complex, with multi-targets and various cells causing neuropathy. Furthermore, mechanisms of OIPN can reinforce each other, and combination therapies may be required for effective management. However, despite intense investigation in preclinical and clinical studies, no preventive therapies have shown significant clinical efficacy, and the established treatment for painful OIPN is limited. Duloxetine is the only agent currently recommended by the American Society of Clinical Oncology. The present article summarizes the most recent advances in the field of studies on OIPN, the overview of the clinical syndrome, molecular basis, therapy development, and outlook of future drug candidates. Importantly, closer links between clinical pain management teams and oncology will advance the effectiveness of OIPN treatment, and the continued close collaboration between preclinical and clinical research will facilitate the development of novel prevention and treatments for OIPN.

Abstract
Dorsal root ganglia (DRGs) are clusters of sensory neurons that transmit the sensory information from the periphery to the central nervous system, and satellite glial cells (SGCs), their supporting trophic cells. Sensory neurons are pseudounipolar neurons with a heterogeneous neurochemistry reflecting their functional features. DRGs, not protected by the blood brain barrier, are vulnerable to stress and damage of different origin (i.e., toxic, mechanical, metabolic, genetic) that can involve sensory neurons, SGCs or, considering their intimate intercommunication, both cell populations. DRG damage, primary or secondary to nerve damage, produces a sensory peripheral neuropathy, characterized by neurophysiological abnormalities, numbness, paraesthesia and dysesthesia, tingling and burning sensations and neuropathic pain. DRG stress can be morphologically detected by light and electron microscope analysis with alterations in cell size (swelling/atrophy) and in different subcellular compartments (i.e., mitochondria, endoplasmic reticulum, and nucleus) of neurons and/or SGCs. In addition, neurochemical changes can be used to portray abnormalities of neurons and SGC. Conventional immunostaining, i.e., immunohistochemical detection of specific molecules in tissue slices, can be employed to detect, localize and quantify particular markers of damage in neurons (i.e., nuclear expression of ATF3) or SGCs (i.e., increased expression of GFAP), markers of apoptosis (i.e., caspases), markers of mitochondrial suffering and oxidative stress (i.e., 8-OHdG), markers of tissue inflammation (i.e., CD68 for macrophage infiltration) etc. However classical (2D) methods of immunostaining disrupt the overall organization of the DRG, thus resulting in the loss of some crucial information. Whole-mount (3D) methods have been recently developed to investigate DRG morphology and neurochemistry without tissue slicing, giving the opportunity to study the intimate relationship between SGCs and sensory neurons in health and disease. Here, we aim to compare classical (2D) vs whole-mount (3D) approaches to highlight “pros” and “cons” of the two methodologies when analysing neuropathy-induced alterations in DRGs.

Cytotoxic activity and influence on acetylcholinesterase of series dinuclear platinum(II) complexes with aromatic nitrogen-containing heterocyclic bridging ligands: Insights in the mechanisms of action.

Abstract
Herein, the stability, lipophilicity, in vitro cytotoxicity, and influence on acetylcholinesterase of five dinuclear platinum(II) complexes with the general formula [{Pt(en)Cl}2(μ-L)]2+ (L is a different aromatic nitrogen-containing heterocyclic bridging ligands pyrazine (pz, Pt1), pyridazine (pydz, Pt2), quinoxaline (qx, Pt3), phthalazine (phtz, Pt4) and quinazoline (qz, Pt5), while en is bidentate coordinated ethylenediamine) were evaluated. The most active analyzed platinum complexes induced time-dependent growth inhibition of A375, HeLa, PANC-1, and MRC-5 cells. The best efficiency was achieved on HeLa and PANC-1 cells for Pt1, Pt2, and Pt3 at the highest concentration, while Pt1 was significantly more potent than cisplatin at a lower concentration. Additionally, a lower effect on normal cells was observed compared to cisplatin, which may indicate potentially fewer side effects of these complexes. Selected complexes induce reactive oxygen species and apoptosis on tumor cell lines. The most potent reversible acetylcholinesterase (AChE) inhibitors were Pt2, Pt4, and Pt5. Pt1 showed similar inhibitory potential toward AChE as cisplatin, but a different type of inhibition, which could contribute to lower neurotoxicity. Docking studies revealed that Pt2 and Pt4 were bound to the active gorge above the catalytic triad. In contrast, the other complexes were bound to the edge of the active gorge without impeding the approach to the catalytic triad. According to this, Pt1 represents a promising compound with potent anticancer properties, high selectivity, and low neurotoxicity.

Preventive Efficacy and Safety of Yiqi-Wenjing-Fang Granules on Oxaliplatin-Induced Peripheral Neuropathy: A Protocol for a Randomized, Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled, Multicenter Trial. EVIDENCE-BASED COMPLEMENTARY AND ALTERNATIVE MEDICINE : ECAM 2021; 2021:5551568.

Abstract
Background. Oxaliplatin-induced peripheral neuropathy (OIPN) is one of the most common side effects of oxaliplatin, which can cause reduction and cessation of oxaliplatin-based chemotherapy and significantly affect patients' quality of life. However, no drug has got recognition to prevent or treat OIPN. Yiqi-Wenjing-Fang (YWF) is a joint name of Chinese medicine prescriptions with similar effects of tonifying qi and warming meridians, represented by Huangqi Guizhi Wuwu decoction (HGWD) and Danggui Sini decoction (DSD), both from "Treatise on Cold Pathogenic and Miscellaneous Diseases." YWF granules, including HGWD granules and DSD granules, have been, respectively, demonstrated to be effective in preventing OIPN in previous small-sample observations. The purpose of this study is to enlarge the sample size for further evaluation of the preventive efficacy and safety of YWF granules on OIPN. Methods and Analysis. This study is a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, and multicenter clinical trial. 360 postoperative patients with stage IIa-IIIc colorectal cancer will be randomly assigned into placebo-control group, intervention group I, and intervention group II, taking the mimetic granules of YWF as placebo, HGWD granules and DSD granules, respectively. All subjects will receive oxaliplatin-based chemotherapy regimen at the same time. EORTC QLQ-CIPN20 will be used to assess the degree of OIPN as the primary outcome measure. The grades of OIPN, quality of life, chemotherapeutic efficacy, and the number of completed chemotherapy cycles are selected as the secondary outcome measures. Discussion. Based on the condition of no recognized effective drugs in preventing OIPN, evidence-based medical study will be conducted for seeking a breakthrough in the field of Chinese herb medicine. This protocol could provide reliable and systemic research basis about the efficacy of YWF granules and the differentiation of two classical prescriptions of YWF on preventing OIPN objectively. Trial Registration. This study was registered at ClinicalTrials.gov on 26 December 2020 (ID: https://clinicaltrials.gov/ct2/show/NCT04690283).

Abstract
Chemotherapy-induced peripheral neurotoxicity (CIPN) is a major dose-limiting side effect of many anti-cancer agents, including taxanes, platinums, vinca alkaloids, proteasome inhibitors, immunomodulatory drugs, and antibody-drug conjugates. The resultant symptoms often persist post treatment completion and continue to impact on long-term function and quality of life for cancer survivors. At present, dose reduction remains the only strategy to prevent severe neuropathy, often leading clinicians to the difficult decision of balancing maximal treatment exposure and minimal long-lasting side effects. This review examines the clinical presentations of CIPN with each class of neurotoxic treatment, describing signs, symptoms, and long-term outcomes. We provide an update on the proposed mechanisms of nerve damage and review current data on clinical and genetic risk factors contributing to CIPN development. We also examine recent areas of research in the treatment and prevention of CIPN, with specific focus on current clinical trials and consensus recommendations for CIPN management.

Antioxidants Improve Oxaliplatin-Induced Peripheral Neuropathy in Tumor-Bearing Mice Model: Role of Spinal Cord Oxidative Stress and Inflammation. THE JOURNAL OF PAIN 2021; 22:996-1013.

Abstract
Chemotherapy-Induced Peripheral Neuropathy (CIPN) is a common, difficult-to-treat, and dose-limiting side effect associated with Oxaliplatin (OXA) treatment. In this study, we evaluated the effect of three antioxidants - namely N-acetylcysteine, α-lipoic acid and vitamin E - upon nociceptive parameters and antitumor efficacy of OXA in a tumor-bearing Swiss mice model. Oral treatment with antioxidants inhibited both mechanical and cold allodynia when concomitantly administrated with OXA (preventive protocol), as well as in animals with previously established CIPN (therapeutic protocol). OXA increased Reactive Oxygen Species (ROS) production and lipoperoxidation, and augmented the content of pro-inflammatory cytokines (IL-1β and TNF-α) and expression of the astrocytic marker Gfap mRNA in the spinal cord. Antioxidants decreased ROS production and lipoperoxidation, and abolished neuroinflammation in OXA-treated animals. Toll-like receptor 4 (Tlr4) and inflammasome enzyme caspase-1/11 knockout mice treated with OXA showed reduced levels of pro-inflammatory cytokines (but not oxidative stress) in the spinal cord, which were associated with resistance to OXA-induced mechanical allodynia. Lastly, antioxidants affected neither antitumor activity nor hematological toxicity of OXA in vivo. The herein presented results are provocative for further evaluation of antioxidants in clinical management of chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy. PERSPECTIVE: This study reports preventive and therapeutic efficacy of orally administrated antioxidants (N-acetylcysteine, α-lipoic-acid and Vitamin-E) in alleviating oxaliplatin-induced peripheral neuropathy in tumor-bearing mice. Antioxidants' anti-nociceptive effects are associated with inhibition of ROS-dependent neuroinflammation, and occur at no detriment of OXA antitumor activity, therefore indicating a translational potential of these compounds.

Abstract
Peripheral neuropathy comes in all shapes and forms and is a disorder which is found in the peripheral nervous system. It can have an acute or chronic onset depending on the multitude of pathophysiologic mechanisms involving different parts of nerve fibers. A systematic approach is highly beneficial when it comes to cost-effective diagnosis. More than 30 causes of peripheral neuropathy exist ranging from systemic and auto-immune diseases, vitamin deficiencies, viral infections, diabetes, etc. One of the major causes of peripheral neuropathy is drug induced disease, which can be split into peripheral neuropathy caused by chemotherapy or by other medications. This review deals with the latest causes of drug induced peripheral neuropathy, the population involved, the findings on physical examination and various workups needed and how to manage each case.

Liposomalization of Oxaliplatin Exacerbates the Non-Liposomal Formulation-Induced Decrease of Sweet Taste Sensitivity in Rats. J Pharm Sci 2021; 110:3937-3945. [PMID: 34246630 DOI: 10.1016/j.xphs.2021.07.004] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/30/2021] [Revised: 07/04/2021] [Accepted: 07/06/2021] [Indexed: 11/15/2022]
Abstract
Here, we investigated whether or not the characteristics of the oxaliplatin-induced sweet taste sensitivity were altered by PEGylated liposomalization of oxaliplatin (liposomal oxaliplatin), which enhances its anticancer efficacy. Liposomal oxaliplatin and oxaliplatin were intravenously and intraperitoneally, respectively, administered to male Sprague-Dawley rats at the total dose of 8 mg/kg. A brief-access test for evaluation of sweet taste sensitivity on day 7 revealed that both liposomal oxaliplatin and oxaliplatin decreased the sensitivity of rats, the degree with the former being greater than in the case of the latter. Liposomalization of oxaliplatin increased the accumulation of platinum in lingual non-epithelial tissues, through which taste nerves passed. The lingual platinum accumulation induced by not only liposomal oxaliplatin but also oxaliplatin was decreased on cooling of the tongue during the administration. In the current study, we revealed that liposomalization of oxaliplatin exacerbated the oxaliplatin-induced decrease of sweet taste sensitivity by increasing the accumulation of platinum/oxaliplatin in lingual non-epithelial tissues. These findings may suggest that reduction of liposomal oxaliplatin distribution to the tongue on cooling during the administration prevents exacerbation of the decrease of sweet taste sensitivity, maintaining the quality of life and chemotherapeutic outcome in patients.

Promoting Neuronal Outgrowth Using Ridged Scaffolds Coated with Extracellular Matrix Proteins. Biomedicines 2021; 9:biomedicines9050479.

Abstract
Spinal cord injury (SCI) results in cell death, demyelination, and axonal loss. The spinal cord has a limited ability to regenerate, and current clinical therapies for SCI are not effective in helping promote neurologic recovery. We have developed a novel scaffold biomaterial that is fabricated from the biodegradable hydrogel oligo(poly(ethylene glycol)fumarate) (OPF). We have previously shown that positively charged OPF scaffolds (OPF+) in an open spaced, multichannel design can be loaded with Schwann cells to support axonal generation and functional recovery following SCI. We have now developed a hybrid OPF+ biomaterial that increases the surface area available for cell attachment and that contains an aligned microarchitecture and extracellular matrix (ECM) proteins to better support axonal regeneration. OPF+ was fabricated as 0.08 mm thick sheets containing 100 μm high polymer ridges that self-assemble into a spiral shape when hydrated. Laminin, fibronectin, or collagen I coating promoted neuron attachment and axonal outgrowth on the scaffold surface. In addition, the ridges aligned axons in a longitudinal bipolar orientation. Decreasing the space between the ridges increased the number of cells and neurites aligned in the direction of the ridge. Schwann cells seeded on laminin coated OPF+ sheets aligned along the ridges over a 6-day period and could myelinate dorsal root ganglion neurons over 4 weeks. This novel scaffold design, with closer spaced ridges and Schwann cells, is a novel biomaterial construct to promote regeneration after SCI.

Abstract
Of all the oral sensations that are experienced, "metallic" is one that is rarely reported in healthy participants. So why, then, do chemotherapy patients so frequently report that "metallic" sensations overpower and interfere with their enjoyment of food and drink? This side-effect of chemotherapy-often referred to (e.g., by patients) as "metal mouth"-can adversely affect their appetite, resulting in weight loss, which potentially endangers (or at the very least slows) their recovery. The etiology of "metal mouth" is poorly understood, and current management strategies are largely unevidenced. As a result, patients continue to suffer as a result of this poorly understood phenomenon. Here, we provide our perspective on the issue, outlining the evidence for a range of possible etiologies, and highlighting key research questions. We explore the evidence for "metallic" as a putative taste, and whether "metal mouth" might therefore be a form of phantageusia, perhaps similar to already-described "release-of-inhibition" phenomena. We comment on the possibility that "metal mouth" may simply be a direct effect of chemotherapy drugs. We present the novel theory that "metal mouth" may be linked to chemotherapy-induced sensitization of TRPV1. Finally, we discuss the evidence for retronasal olfaction of lipid oxidation products in the etiology of "metal mouth." This article seeks principally to guide much-needed future research which will hopefully one day provide a basis for the development of novel supportive therapies for future generations of patients undergoing chemotherapy.
