Upregulation of TRPC6 Mediated by PAX6 Hypomethylation Is Involved in the Mechanical Allodynia Induced by Chemotherapeutics in Dorsal Root Ganglion.

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, chromati
