Project description:The aim of this pilot study is to investigate the efficacy of acupuncture in prevention of chemotherapy induced peripheral neuropathy. The study adapted a single center, randomized, assessor- and participant-blinded, controlled, and parallel-design approach to investigate whether acupuncture can prevent or postpone the occurrence of peripheral neuropathy and improve quality of life.

Project description:This phase II trial investigates how well oral cryotherapy plus acupressure and acupuncture compared with oral cryotherapy alone work in decreasing chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy in patients with gastrointestinal cancer who are receiving oxaliplatin-based chemotherapy. Acupressure is the application of pressure or localized massage to specific sites on the body to control symptoms such as pain or nausea. Acupuncture is the technique of inserting thin needles through the skin at specific points on the body to control pain and other symptoms. Cryotherapy uses cold temperature such as oral ice chips to prevent abnormally increased pain sensation. Giving oral cryotherapy with acupressure and acupuncture may work better in decreasing chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy from oxaliplatin-based chemotherapy in patients with gastrointestinal cancer compared to oral cryotherapy alone.

Project description:Chemotherapy induced peripheral neuropathy (CIPN) is a dose-limiting painful neuropathy that occurs commonly during cancer management, which often leads to the discontinuation of medication. Previous studies suggest that the α9α10 nicotinic acetylcholine receptor (nAChR) specific antagonist αO-conotoxin GeXIVA[1,2] is effective in CIPN models, however the related mechanisms remains unclear. Here we analyzed the preventive effect of GeXIVA[1,2] on neuropathic pain in the long-term oxaliplatin injection induced CIPN model. At the end of treatment, lumbar (L4-L6) spinal cord was extracted, and RNA-sequencing and bioinformatic analysis were performed to investigate the potential genes and pathways related to CIPN and GeXIVA[1,2]. GeXIVA[1,2] inhibited the development of mechanical allodynia induced by chronic oxaliplatin treatment. Repeated injections of GeXIVA[1,2] for 3 weeks have no effect on mice normal pain threshold or locomotor activity and anxiety-like behavior as evaluated in the open field test (OFT) and elevated plus maze (EPM). Our RNA-sequencing results identified 209 differentially expressed genes (DEGs) in CIPN model, simultaneously injection of GeXIVA[1,2] with oxaliplatin altered 53 of the identified DEGs. These reverted genes were significantly enriched in immune-related pathways represented by cytokine-cytokine receptor interaction pathway. Our findings suggest that GeXIVA[1,2] could be a potential therapeutic compound for chronic oxaliplatin induced CIPN management.

Project description:Acupuncture stimulations at GB34 and LR3 inhibit the reduction of tyrosine hydroxylase in the nigrostriatal dopaminergic neurons in the parkinsonism animal models. Especially, behavioral tests showed that acupuncture stimulations improved the motor dysfunction in a previous study. The thalamus is a crucial area for the motor circuit and has been identified as one of the most markedly damaged areas in Parkinson’s disease (PD), so acupuncture stimulations might also have an effect on the thalamic damage. We investigated gene expression profile changes in the thalamic region of 1-methyl-4-phenyl-1,2,3,6-tetrahydropyridine (MPTP)-induced parkinsonism models after acupuncture at the acupoints GB34 and LR3 C57BL/6 mice were divided into four experimental groups; ① C: Control, ② M: MPTP-treatment only, ③ MA: MPTP- and acupuncture-treatment at acupoints GB34 and LR3, ④ MNA: MPTP- and acupuncture-treatment at non-acupoints. Total RNA was isolated from two brains' thalamic regions of each experimental group (4 experimental group × 2 samples of each experimental group = total 8 samples).

Project description:Acupuncture at acupoints GB34 and LR3 has been reported to inhibit nigrostriatal degeneration in parkinsonism models, yet the genes related to this preventive effect of acupuncture on the nigrostriatal dopaminergic system remain elusive. We investigated gene expression profile changes in the striatal region of 1-methyl-4-phenyl-1,2,3,6-tetrahydropyridine (MPTP)-induced parkinsonism models after acupuncture at the acupoints GB34 and LR3 C57BL/6 mice were divided into four experimental groups; â C: Control, â¡ M: MPTP-treatment only, ⢠MA: MPTP- and acupuncture-treatment at acupoints GB34 and LR3, ⣠MNA: MPTP- and acupuncture-treatment at non-acupoints. Total RNA was isolated from two brains' striatal regions of each experimental group (4 experimental group à 2 samples of each experimental group = total 8 samples).

Project description:Vincristine, oxaliplatin, and cisplatin are commonly prescribed chemotherapeutic agents for the treatment of several cancer types. However, a main side-effect is chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy (CIPN), which may lead to decreased quality of life, changes in chemotherapeutic treatment or even treatment cessation. Although painful symptoms associated with CIPN are faithfully recapitulated by mouse models, there is limited knowledge of how these drugs affect the expression of genes in peripheral sensory neurons. The present study carried out a transcriptomic analysis of dorsal root ganglia isolated from mice treated with vincristine, oxaliplatin, and cisplatin with a view to gain insight into the comparative pathophysiological mechanisms of CIPN. RNA-Seq using 75-nucleotide single end runs revealed 368, 295 and 256 differential expressed genes (DEGs) induced by treatment with vincristine, oxaliplatin and cisplatin, respectively. Although there were many similarities in DEGs between chemotherapeutic agents, only 5 genes were dysregulated in all groups. Cell type enrichment analysis (CTEA) and gene set enrichment analysis (GSEA) showed predominant effects on genes associated with the immune system after treatment with vincristine, while oxaliplatin treatment affected mainly neuronal genes. Treatment with cisplatin resulted in a mixed inflammatory and neuropathic gene expression signature. Only ‘regulation of transport’ and ‘response to external stimuli’ were gene ontology terms shared between all treatments. These results provide insight into the recruitment of innate and adaptive immune responses to DRG tissue and indicate enhanced neuro-inflammatory processes following administration of vincristine, oxaliplatin, and cisplatin. These gene expression signatures may provide insight into novel drug targets for treatment of CIPN.

Project description:It has been shown that acupuncture at acupoints GB34 and LR3 inhibits the degeneration of nigrostriatal neurons in an 1-methyl-4-phenyl-1,2,3,6-tetrahydropyridine (MPTP) mouse model of Parkinsonâ??s disease. This preventative effect of peripheral acupuncture stimulation is hypothesized to be transmitted through the spinal cord to the nigrostriatal neurons. The gene expression profile changes following acupuncture at the acupoints were investigated in the cervical spinal cord of an MPTP-induced parkinsonism model using an Affymetrix genechip mouse gene 1.0 ST array. C57BL/6 mice were divided into four experimental groups; â? C: Control, â?¡ M: MPTP-treatment only, â?¢ MA: MPTP- and acupuncture-treatment at acupoints GB34 and LR3, â?£ MNA: MPTP- and acupuncture-treatment at non-acupoints. Total RNA was isolated from the cervical spinal cord regions of each experimental group (4 experimental group Ã? 2 samples of each experimental group = total 8 samples).
