Xu J, Lu L, Jiang S, Qin Z, Huang J, Huang M, Jin J. Paeoniflorin ameliorates oxaliplatin-induced peripheral neuropathy via inhibiting neuroinflammation through influence on gut microbiota. Eur J Pharmacol 2024; 971:176516. [PMID: 38513881 DOI: 10.1016/j.ejphar.2024.176516] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/29/2023] [Revised: 01/13/2024] [Accepted: 03/18/2024] [Indexed: 03/23/2024]
Abstract
Oxaliplatin (OXA)-induced peripheral neuropathy (OIPN) is a severe side effect that greatly limits OXA clinical use and threatens patients' life and health. Paeoniflorin exhibits extensive anti-inflammatory and neuroprotective effects, but whether it can protect against OIPN and the underlying mechanisms remain unclear. This study aimed to investigate the effects of paeoniflorin on OIPN and probe into the underlying mechanisms. The OIPN model was established through oxaliplatin injection in rats. The ameliorative effects of paeoniflorin on OIPN was assessed by nociceptive hypersensitivities through pain behavioral methods. Neuroinflammation were examined by measuring the levels of inflammatory cytokines and immune cells infiltration. The signaling pathway of TLR4/MyD88/NF-κB was evaluated by Western blotting. Gut microbial changes were detected by 16S rDNA sequencing technology. In addition, antibiotics-induced microbiota eradication and fecal microbial transplantation (FMT) were applied for exploring the function of gut microbiota in the protective effects of paeoniflorin. The results revealed that paeoniflorin significantly alleviated mechanical and cold hypersensitivity, mitigated neuroinflammation and influenced gut microbial composition in OIPN rats. Fecal microbiota transplantation further verified that gut microbiota was required for paeoniflorin ameliorating OIPN and that the underlying mechanism involved downregulation of TLR4/MyD88/NF-κB signaling. Specifically, Akkermansia, Dubosiella and Corynebacterium might serve as crucial genera regulated by paeoniflorin in the treatment of OIPN. In summary, our investigations delineate paeoniflorin's ameliorative effects on OIPN by alleviating neuroinflammation through regulations of gut microbiota. This suggests that paeoniflorin may serve as a new potential strategy for treatment of OIPN in clinical practice.

Abstract
ETHNOPHARMACOLOGICAL RELEVANCE Paris polyphylla, as a traditional Chinese herbal medicine, was often used to relieve inflammation and pain. Rhizoma Paridis saponins (RPS) as the main active components of Paris polyphylla have excellent analgesic effects. AIM OF THE STUDY Determine the analgesic material basis of RPS. MATERIALS AND METHODS LC-MS/MS was used to analyze RPS, plasma after intravenous injection of RPS, and oral administration of RPS. H22 plantar pain model was established to explore the analgesic material basis of RPS. Moreover, correlation analysis, network pharmacology, RT-PCR and molecular docking were applied in this research. RESULTS RPS had dose-dependently analgesic effects in acetic acid- and formalin-induced pain models. LC-MS/MS detection indicated that diosgenin as the metabolite of RPS mainly distributed in brain tissues. The addition of antibiotics increased the anti-tumor effect of RPS, but reduced its analgesic effect. Network pharmacology, RT-PCR and molecular docking showed that diosgenin exerted its analgesic effect through SRC and Rap1 signaling pathway. CONCLUSION Diosgenin exhibited analgesic effects, while saponins had good anti-tumor effects in RPS. This discovery provided a better indication for the later application of RPS in anti-tumor and analgesic settings.

Phytic Acid Maintains Peripheral Neuron Integrity and Enhances Survivability against Platinum-Induced Degeneration via Reducing Reactive Oxygen Species and Enhancing Mitochondrial Membrane Potential. ACS Chem Neurosci 2024; 15:1157-1168. [PMID: 38445956 PMCID: PMC10958516 DOI: 10.1021/acschemneuro.3c00739] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/13/2023] [Revised: 02/06/2024] [Accepted: 02/07/2024] [Indexed: 03/07/2024] Open
Abstract
Phytic acid (PA) has been reported to possess anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties that are critical for neuroprotection in neuronal disorders. This raises the question of whether PA can effectively protect sensory neurons against chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy (CIPN). Peripheral neuropathy is a dose-limiting side effect of chemotherapy treatment often characterized by severe and abnormal pain in hands and feet resulting from peripheral nerve degeneration. Currently, there are no effective treatments available that can prevent or cure peripheral neuropathies other than symptomatic management. Herein, we aim to demonstrate the neuroprotective effects of PA against the neurodegeneration induced by the chemotherapeutics cisplatin (CDDP) and oxaliplatin. Further aims of this study are to provide the proposed mechanism of PA-mediated neuroprotection. The neuronal protection and survivability against CDDP were characterized by axon length measurements and cell body counting of the dorsal root ganglia (DRG) neurons. A cellular phenotype study was conducted microscopically. Intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS) was estimated by fluorogenic probe dichlorofluorescein. Likewise, mitochondrial membrane potential (MMP) was assessed by fluorescent MitoTracker Orange CMTMRos. Similarly, the mitochondria-localized superoxide anion radical in response to CDDP with and without PA was evaluated. The culture of primary DRG neurons with CDDP reduced axon length and overall neuronal survival. However, cotreatment with PA demonstrated that axons were completely protected and showed increased stability up to the 45-day test duration, which is comparable to samples treated with PA alone and control. Notably, PA treatment scavenged the mitochondria-specific superoxide radicals and overall intracellular ROS that were largely induced by CDDP and simultaneously restored MMP. These results are credited to the underlying neuroprotection of PA in a platinum-treated condition. The results also exhibited that PA had a synergistic anticancer effect with CDDP in ovarian cancer in vitro models. For the first time, PA's potency against CDDP-induced PN is demonstrated systematically. The overall findings of this study suggest the application of PA in CIPN prevention and therapeutic purposes.

Trimetazidine alleviates paclitaxel-induced peripheral neuropathy through modulation of TLR4/p38/NFκB and klotho protein expression. Chem Biol Interact 2023; 376:110446. [PMID: 36898573 DOI: 10.1016/j.cbi.2023.110446] [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: 01/12/2023] [Revised: 02/27/2023] [Accepted: 03/06/2023] [Indexed: 03/11/2023]
Abstract
Chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy is a common adverse effect associated with a number of chemotherapeutic agents including paclitaxel (PTX) which is commonly used in a wide range of solid tumors. Development of PTX-induced peripheral neuropathy (PIPN) during cancer treatment requires dose reduction which limits its clinical benefits. This study is conducted to investigate the role of toll like receptor-4 (TLR4) and p38 signaling and Klotho protein expression in PIPN and the role of Trimetazidine (TMZ) in this pathway. Sixty-four male Swiss albino mice were divided into 4 groups (n = 16); Group (1) injected intraperitoneally (IP) with ethanol/tween 80/saline for 8 successive days. Group (2) received TMZ (5 mg/kg, IP, day) for 8 successive days. Group (3) treated with 4 doses of PTX (4.5 mg/kg, IP) every other day over a period of 8 days. Group (4) received a combination of TMZ as group 2 and PTX as group 3. The Effect of TMZ on the antitumor activity of PTX was studied in another set of mice-bearing Solid Ehrlich Carcinoma (SEC) that was similarly divided as the above-mentioned set. TMZ mitigated tactile allodynia, thermal hypoalgesia, numbness and fine motor dyscoordination associated with PTX in Swiss mice. The results of the current study show that the neuroprotective effect of TMZ can be attributed to inhibition of TLR4/p38 signaling which also includes a reduction in matrix metalloproteinase-9 (MMP9) protein levels as well as the proinflammatory interleukin-1β (IL-1β) and preserving the levels of the anti-inflammatory IL-10. Moreover, the current study is the first to demonstrate that PTX reduces the neuronal levels of klotho protein and showed its modulation via cotreatment with TMZ. In addition, this study showed that TMZ neither alter the growth of SEC nor the antitumor activity of PTX. In conclusion, we suggest that (1) Inhibition of Klotho protein and upregulation of TLR4/p38 signals in nerve tissues may contribute to PIPN. (2) TMZ attenuates PIPN by modulating TLR4/p38 and Klotho protein expression in without interfering with its antitumor activity.

Abstract
Chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy (CIPN) is a debilitating side effect of many common anti-cancer agents that can lead to dose reduction or treatment discontinuation, which decrease chemotherapy efficacy. Long-term CIPN can interfere with activities of daily living and diminish the quality of life. The mechanism of CIPN is not yet fully understood, and biomarkers are needed to identify patients at high risk and potential treatment targets. Metabolomics can capture the complex behavioral and pathophysiological processes involved in CIPN. This chapter is to review the CIPN metabolomics studies to find metabolic pathways potentially involved in CIPN. These potential CIPN metabolites are then investigated to determine whether there is evidence from studies of other neuropathy etiologies such as diabetic neuropathy and Leber hereditary optic neuropathy to support the importance of these pathways in peripheral neuropathy. Six potential biomarkers and their putative mechanisms in peripheral neuropathy were reviewed. Among these biomarkers, histidine and phenylalanine have clear roles in neurotransmission or neuroinflammation in peripheral neuropathy. Further research is needed to discover and validate CIPN metabolomics biomarkers in large clinical studies.

Abstract
(1) Background: Oxaliplatin is used as first-line chemotherapy not only for colorectal cancer but also for gastric and pancreatic cancers. However, it induces peripheral neuropathy with high frequency as an adverse event, and there is no effective preventive or therapeutic method. (2) Methods: The effects of omeprazole, a proton pump inhibitor (PPI), on oxaliplatin-induced peripheral neuropathy (OIPN) was investigated using an in vivo model and a real-world database. (3) Results: In a rat model, oxaliplatin (4 mg/kg, i.p., twice a week for 4 weeks) caused mechanical hypersensitivity accompanied by sciatic nerve axonal degeneration and myelin sheath disorder. Repeated injection of omeprazole (5−20 mg/kg, i.p., five times per week for 4 weeks) ameliorated these behavioral and pathological abnormalities. Moreover, omeprazole did not affect the tumor growth inhibition of oxaliplatin in tumor bearing mice. Furthermore, clinical database analysis of the Food and Drug Administration Adverse Event Reporting System (FAERS) suggests that the group using omeprazole has a lower reporting rate of peripheral neuropathy of oxaliplatin-treated patients than the group not using (3.06% vs. 6.48%, p < 0.001, reporting odds ratio 0.44, 95% confidence interval 0.32−0.61). (4) Conclusions: These results show the preventing effect of omeprazole on OIPN.

Abstract
Oxaliplatin (OXL) is a chemotherapeutic drug used for metastatic and other types of cancer, but it causes peripheral neuropathy as a dose-limiting side effect. Herein, we used the rat model of OXL-induced peripheral neuropathy to demonstrate the protective effects of naringin (NRG) in this neuropathy. In this study, rats were injected with OXL (4 mg/kg, body weight, i.p.) in 5% glucose solution 30 min after oral administration of NRG (50 and 100 mg/kg, body weight) on the 1st, 2nd, 5th, and 6th days. OXL caused sensory and motor neuropathy (as revealed by the hot plate, tail flick, rota-rod, and cold hyperalgesia tests) in the sciatic nerve of rats. Coadministration of oral NRG alleviated OXL-induced sensory and motor neuropathy. Levels of superoxide dismutase, catalase, glutathione peroxidase, nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2, Heme oxygenase-1, nuclear factor-κ B, tumor necrosis factor-α, interleukin-1β, Bax, Bcl-2, caspase-3, paraoxonase, mitogen-activated protein kinase 14, neuronal nitric oxide synthase (nNOS), acetylcholinesterase, and arginase 2 in the sciatic nerve tissues were assessed by real-time polymerase chain reaction. Moreover, the protein levels of caspase-3, Bax, Bcl-2, intercellular adhesion molecules-1, glial fibrillary acidic protein, and nNOS were examined by Western blot analysis. NRG treatment significantly improved all the above-mentioned parameters and reduced OXL-induced oxidative stress, inflammation, and apoptosis in the sciatic nerve tissue. In conclusion, this study demonstrated that NRG significantly attenuated OXL-induced peripheral neuropathy and might be considered as a new protective agent to prevent the OXL-induced peripheral neuropathy.

Does DPP-IV Inhibition Offer New Avenues for Therapeutic Intervention in Malignant Disease? Cancers (Basel) 2022; 14:cancers14092072.

Abstract
Simple Summary There is growing interest in identifying the effects of antidiabetic agents on cancer risk, progression, and anti-cancer treatment due to the long-term use of these medications and the inherently increased risk of malignancies in diabetic patients. Tumor development and progression are affected by multiple mediators in the tumor microenvironment, several of which may be proteolytically modified by the multifunctional protease dipeptidyl peptidase-IV (DPP-IV, CD26). Currently, low-molecular-weight DPP-IV inhibitors (gliptins) are used in patients with type 2 diabetes based on the observation that DPP-IV inhibition enhances insulin secretion by increasing the bioavailability of incretins. However, the DPP-IV-mediated cleavage of other biopeptides and chemokines is also prevented by gliptins. The potential utility of gliptins in other areas of medicine, including cancer, is therefore being evaluated. Here, we critically review the existing evidence on the role of DPP-IV inhibitors in cancer pathogenesis, their potential to be used in anti-cancer treatment, and the possible perils associated with this approach. Abstract Dipeptidyl peptidase IV (DPP-IV, CD26) is frequently dysregulated in cancer and plays an important role in regulating multiple bioactive peptides with the potential to influence cancer progression and the recruitment of immune cells. Therefore, it represents a potential contributing factor to cancer pathogenesis and an attractive therapeutic target. Specific DPP-IV inhibitors (gliptins) are currently used in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus to promote insulin secretion by prolonging the activity of the incretins glucagon-like peptide 1 (GLP-1) and glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide (GIP). Nevertheless, the modulation of the bioavailability and function of other DPP-IV substrates, including chemokines, raises the possibility that the use of these orally administered drugs with favorable side-effect profiles might be extended beyond the treatment of hyperglycemia. In this review, we critically examine the possible utilization of DPP-IV inhibition in cancer prevention and various aspects of cancer treatment and discuss the potential perils associated with the inhibition of DPP-IV in cancer. The current literature is summarized regarding the possible chemopreventive and cytotoxic effects of gliptins and their potential utility in modulating the anti-tumor immune response, enhancing hematopoietic stem cell transplantation, preventing acute graft-versus-host disease, and alleviating the side-effects of conventional anti-tumor treatments.

Abstract
Around 20% of the American population have chronic pain and estimates in other Western countries report similar numbers. This represents a major challenge for global health care systems. Additional problems for the treatment of chronic and persistent pain are the comparably low efficacy of existing therapies, the failure to translate effects observed in preclinical pain models to human patients and related setbacks in clinical trials from previous attempts to develop novel analgesics. Drug repurposing offers an alternative approach to identify novel analgesics as it can bypass various steps of classical drug development. In recent years, several approved drugs were attributed analgesic properties. Here, we review available data and discuss recent findings suggesting that the approved drugs minocycline, fingolimod, pioglitazone, nilotinib, telmisartan, and others, which were originally developed for the treatment of different pathologies, can have analgesic, antihyperalgesic, or neuroprotective effects in preclinical and clinical models of inflammatory or neuropathic pain. For our analysis, we subdivide the drugs into substances that can target neuroinflammation or substances that can act on peripheral sensory neurons, and highlight the proposed mechanisms. Finally, we discuss the merits and challenges of drug repurposing for the development of novel analgesics.

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
Oxaliplatin is an essential drug in the chemotherapy of colorectal, gastric, and pancreatic cancers, but it frequently causes peripheral neuropathy as a dose-limiting factor. So far, animal models of oxaliplatin-induced peripheral neuropathy have been established. The mechanisms of development of neuropathy induced by oxaliplatin have been elucidated, and many drugs and agents have been proven to have neuroprotective effects in basic studies. In addition, some of these drugs have been validated in clinical studies for their inhibitory effects on neuropathy. In this review, we summarize the basic and clinical evidence for the therapeutic effects of oxaliplatin. In basic research, there are many reports of neuropathy inhibitors that target oxidative stress, inflammatory response, sodium channel, transient receptor potential (TRP) channel, glutamate nervous system, and monoamine nervous system. Alternatively, very few drugs have clearly demonstrated the efficacy for oxaliplatin-induced peripheral neuropathy in clinical trials. It is important to activate translational research in order to translate basic research into clinical research.

Abstract
Chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy (CIPN) is a severe adverse effect observed in most patients treated with neurotoxic anti-cancer drugs. Currently, there are no therapeutic options available for the prevention of CIPN. Furthermore, few drugs are recommended for the treatment of existing neuropathies because the mechanisms of CIPN remain unclear. Each chemotherapeutic drug induces neuropathy by distinct mechanisms, and thus we need to understand the characteristics of CIPN specific to individual drugs. Here, we review the known pathogenic mechanisms of oxaliplatin- and paclitaxel-induced CIPN, highlighting recent findings. Cancer chemotherapy is performed in a planned manner; therefore, preventive strategies can be planned for CIPN. Drug repositioning studies, which identify the unexpected actions of already approved drugs, have increased in recent years. We have also focused on drug repositioning studies, especially for prevention, because they should be rapidly translated to patients suffering from CIPN.

Abstract
Incretins represent a group of gut-derived peptide hormones that, at physiological concentrations, potentiate the release of insulin. Work leading to the discovery of incretins began as early as the late 1800s where scientists, including Claude Bernard who is widely considered the father of modern physiology (Rehfeld, J.F. The Origin and Understanding of the Incretin Concept. Front. Endocrinol. (Lausanne) (2018) 9, 387; Robin, E.D. Claude Bernard. Pioneer of regulatory biology. JAMA (1979) 242, 1283-1284), attempted to understand the pancreas as an important organ in the development of diabetes mellitus and blood glucose control. After the seminal work of Paulescu and Banting and Best in the early 1920s that led to the discovery of insulin (Murray I. Paulesco and the isolation of insulin. J. Hist. Med. Allied Sci. (1971) 26, 150-157; Raju T.N. The Nobel Chronicles. 1923: Frederick G. Banting (1891-1941), John J.R. Macleod (1876-1935). Lancet (1998) 352, 1482), attention was turned toward understanding gastrointestinal factors that might regulate insulin secretion. A series of experiments by Jean La Barre showed that a specific fraction of intestinal extract caused a reduction in blood glucose. La Barre posited that the fraction's glucose lowering actions occurred by increasing insulin release, after which he coined the term 'incretin'. In the 1970s, the first incretin was purified, glucose insulinotropic polypeptide (GIP) (Gupta K. and Raja A. Physiology, Gastric Inhibitory Peptide StatPearls Treasure Island (FL); 2020), followed by the discovery of a second incretin in the 1980s, glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1). Interest and understanding of the incretins, has grown since that time.

Abstract
Oxaliplatin frequently causes severe peripheral neuropathy as a dose-limiting toxicity. However, this toxicity lacks a strategy for prevention. Cystine/Theanine is a supplement, which includes precursors for the biosynthesis of glutathione. In this study, we investigated the effects of Cystine/Theanine on oxaliplatin-induced peripheral neuropathy using an in vivo model. Repeated injection of oxaliplatin (4 mg/kg intraperitoneally twice a week for 2 weeks) caused mechanical allodynia, cold hyperalgesia and axonal degeneration of the sciatic nerve in rats. Mechanical allodynia and axonal degeneration, but not cold hyperalgesia, were ameliorated by daily co-administration of Cystine [200 mg/kg orally (p.o.)] and Theanine (80 mg/kg p.o.). Moreover, co-administration of Cystine and Theanine to rats significantly increased the glutathione level in the sciatic nerve compared with the oxaliplatin group. Furthermore, Cystine and Theanine did not attenuate the tumour cytotoxicity of oxaliplatin in C-26 tumour cell-bearing mice. These findings suggest that Cystine and Theanine may be beneficial for preventing oxaliplatin-induced peripheral neuropathy.
