abstract = {The microtubule-stabilizing drug paclitaxel remains the
standard of care for various solid malignancies but
frequently leads to chemotherapy-induced peripheral
neuropathy (CIPN). CIPN is a leading cause for premature
treatment termination and a significantly reduced quality of
life in long-term cancer survivors. The molecular mechanisms
of neuro-axonal degeneration, neuroinflammation, and pain in
patients treated with paclitaxel remain incompletely
understood, and there are currently no predictive biomarkers
or preventive treatments. We used human iPSC-derived sensory
neurons exposed to paclitaxel to comprehensively model the
pathophysiology of CIPN. Neurotoxicity was assessed over
time using viability assays and sequential RNA sequencing,
as well as deep proteome and lipidomic analyses. We observed
a time and dose-dependent decline of cell viability at
clinically relevant paclitaxel doses. Sequential RNA
sequencing defined JUN as an early immediate gene, followed
by the overexpression of genes of the neuronal stress
response (e.g., ARID5A, WEE1, DUSP16, GADD45A), neuronal
injury and apoptotic pathways (e.g., ATF3, HRK, BBC3 [PUMA],
BCL2L11 [BIM], CASP3), neuroinflammation and nociception
(CALCB, MMP10, IL31RA, CYSLTR2, C3AR1, TNFRSF12A) and
neuronal transduction (e.g., CAMK2A, STOML3, PIRT), while
key enzymes of lipid biosynthesis were markedly
downregulated (e.g., LSS, HMGCS1, HMGCR, DHCR24). Deep
proteome analyses following 48 h of exposure to 100 nM
paclitaxel revealed a strong correlation of differentially
expressed RNA with proteins, and a marked degradation of
essential axonal transport proteins such as kinesins,
stathmins, and scaffold proteins. Consistent with the
downregulation of rate-limiting enzymes of lipid
biosynthesis, lipidome analysis confirmed deregulation of
neuronal lipid homeostasis. In summary, paclitaxel induces
transcriptomic and proteomic signatures of the neuronal
stress response, neuroinflammation, nociception, and
disturbed metabolism. These may explain, in part, the
clinical phenotype of sensory loss, hypersensitivity, and
neuropathic pain frequently observed in patients suffering
from CIPN, but constitute pharmacologically addressable
targets.},
