Treatment of oxaliplatin-induced peripheral neuropathy by intravenous mangafodipir.

ABSTRACT: The majority of patients receiving the platinum-based chemotherapy drug oxaliplatin develop peripheral neurotoxicity. Because this neurotoxicity involves ROS production, we investigated the efficacy of mangafodipir, a molecule that has antioxidant properties and is approved for use as an MRI contrast enhancer.The effects of mangafodipir were examined in mice following treatment with oxaliplatin. Neurotoxicity, axon myelination, and advanced oxidized protein products (AOPPs) were monitored. In addition, we enrolled 23 cancer patients with grade ? 2 oxaliplatin-induced neuropathy in a phase II study, with 22 patients receiving i.v. mangafodipir following oxaliplatin. Neuropathic effects were monitored for up to 8 cycles of oxaliplatin and mangafodipir.Mangafodipir prevented motor and sensory dysfunction and demyelinating lesion formation. In mice, serum AOPPs decreased after 4 weeks of mangafodipir treatment. In 77% of patients treated with oxaliplatin and mangafodipir, neuropathy improved or stabilized after 4 cycles. After 8 cycles, neurotoxicity was downgraded to grade ? 2 in 6 of 7 patients. Prior to enrollment, patients received an average of 880 ± 239 mg/m2 oxaliplatin. Patients treated with mangafodipir tolerated an additional dose of 458 ± 207 mg/m2 oxaliplatin despite preexisting neuropathy. Mangafodipir responders managed a cumulative dose of 1,426 ± 204 mg/m2 oxaliplatin. Serum AOPPs were lower in responders compared with those in nonresponders.Our study suggests that mangafodipir can prevent and/or relieve oxaliplatin-induced neuropathy in cancer patients.

Project description:BackgroundOxaliplatin-induced peripheral neurotoxicity (OIPN) limits the dose of chemotherapy and seriously affects the quality of life. Huangqi Guizhi Wuwu Decoction (HGWD) is a classical Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) formula for the prevention of OIPN. However, its specific pharmacological mechanism of action remains unknown. Our study found that HGWD can effectively alleviate chronic OIPN and regulate intestinal flora. Therefore, we explored the mechanism of action of HGWD in alleviating chronic OIPN from the perspective of intestinal flora.MethodsIn this study, we established an OIPN model in C57BL/6 mice treated with different concentrations of HGWD. Mechanical pain and cold pain were assessed at certain time points, and samples of mice colon, dorsal root ganglion (DRG), serum, and feces were collected. Associated inflammation levels in the colon and DRG were detected using immunohistochemical techniques; the serum lipopolysaccharide (LPS) levels and associated inflammation were assessed using the appropriate kits; and 16S rRNA sequencing was used to examine the dynamic changes in gut microorganisms. Finally, established fecal microbiota transplantation (FMT) and antibiotic (ABX) pretreatment models were used to validate flora's role in HGWD for chronic OIPN by pain scoring and related pathological analysis.ResultsHGWD treatment significantly alleviated pain sensitivity in chronic OIPN mice. Pathological results showed that HGWD treatment improved intestinal ZO-1 expression and reduced serum LPS levels and associated inflammatory factors in the colon, serum, and DRG. The 16S rRNA results showed that HGWD restored the composition of the intestinal flora in a time-dependent manner to alleviate OIPN. FMT and ABX experiments demonstrated that HGWD can alleviate chronic OIPN by regulating intestinal flora homeostasis.ConclusionsHGWD prevents chronic OIPN by dynamically regulating intestinal flora homeostasis, thereby ameliorating intestinal barrier damage and reducing serum LPS and relevant inflammatory factor levels in the colon, serum, and DRG.

Project description:Chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy (CIPN) is a common, dose limiting, and long-lasting side effect of chemotherapy treatment. Unfortunately, no treatment has proven efficacious for this side effect. Rodent models play a crucial role in the discovery of new mechanisms underlying the initiation, progression, and recovery of CIPN and the potential discovery of new therapeutics. However, there is limited consistency in the dose, the sex, age, and genetic background of the animal used in these studies and the outcome measures used in evaluation of CIPN rely primarily on noxious and reflexive measures. The main objective of this study was to provide a comprehensive and systematic characterization of oxaliplatin-induced peripheral neuropathy in mice by using a battery of behavioral, sensory, electrophysiological, and morphometric measures in both sexes of the two widely used strains of mice, C57BL/6J and BALB/cJ. Mice received intraperitoneal injections of 3 or 30 mg/kg cumulative doses of oxaliplatin over the course of 2 weeks. Both doses induced long-term and time-dependent mechanical and cold hypersensitivity. Our results show that 30 mg/kg oxaliplatin reduced the locomotor activity in C57BL/6J mice, and C57BL/6J females showed anxiety-like behavior one-week post completion of treatment. In the same dose group, BALB/cJ males and females sustained a larger decrease in sucrose preference than either male or female C57BL/6J mice. Both strains failed to show significant changes in burrowing and nesting behaviors. Two clinically relevant assessments of changes to the peripheral nerve fibers, nerve conduction and intraepidermal nerve fiber density (IENFD) were evaluated. Only BALB/cJ females showed significant reduction in the nerve conduction amplitude 1 week after 30 mg/kg oxaliplatin regimen. Moreover, this dose of the chemo agent reduced the IENF density in both sexes and strains. Our findings suggest that mouse strain, sex, and assay type should be carefully considered when assessing the effects of oxaliplatin and potential therapeutic interventions.
