ABSTRACT: Background
Although the action mechanism of antineoplastic agents is different, oxaliplatin, paclitaxel, or bortezomib as first-line antineoplastic drugs can induce painful neuropathy. In rodents, mechanical allodynia is a common phenotype of painful neuropathy for 3 chemotherapeutics. However, whether there is a common molecular involved in the different chemotherapeutics-induced painful peripheral neuropathy remains unclear.Methods
Mechanical allodynia was tested by von Frey hairs following i.p. injection of vehicle, oxaliplatin, paclitaxel, or bortezomib in Sprague-Dawley rats. Reduced representation bisulfite sequencing and methylated DNA immunoprecipitation were used to detect the change of DNA methylation. Western blot, quantitative polymerase chain reaction, chromatin immunoprecipitation, and immunohistochemistry were employed to explore the molecular mechanisms.Results
In 3 chemotherapeutic models, oxaliplatin, paclitaxel, or bortezomib accordantly upregulated the expression of transient receptor potential cation channel, subfamily C6 (TRPC6) mRNA and protein without affecting the DNA methylation level of TRPC6 gene in DRG. Inhibition of TRPC6 by using TRPC6 siRNA (i.t., 10 consecutive days) relieved mechanical allodynia significantly following application of chemotherapeutics. Furthermore, the downregulated recruitment of DNA methyltransferase 3 beta (DNMT3b) at paired box protein 6 (PAX6) gene led to the hypomethylation of PAX6 gene and increased PAX6 expression. Finally, the increased PAX6 via binding to the TPRC6 promoter contributes to the TRPC6 increase and mechanical allodynia following chemotherapeutics treatment.Conclusions
The TRPC6 upregulation through DNMT3b-mediated PAX6 gene hypomethylation participated in mechanical allodynia following application of different chemotherapeutic drugs.
