Inflammatory and neuropathic gene expression signatures of chemotherapy-induced neuropathy induced by vincristine, cisplatin and oxaliplatin in C57BL/6J mice

Vincristine, oxaliplatin, and cisplatin are commonly prescribed chemotherapeutic agents for the treatment of many tumors. However, a main side-effect is chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy (CIPN), which may lead to changes in chemotherapeutic treatment. Although symptoms associated with CIPN are recapitulated by mouse models, there is limited knowledge of how these drugs affect the expression of genes in sensory neurons. The present study carried out a transcriptomic analysis of dorsal root ganglia (DRG) following vincristine, oxaliplatin, and cisplatin treatment with a view to gain insight into the comparative pathophysiological mechanisms of CIPN.
