Alleviating iatrogenic effects of paclitaxel-coated balloons via anti-inflammatory treatment


ABSTRACT: Background: Paclitaxel is touted as an essential medicine due to its extensive use as a chemotherapeutic for various cancers and an antiproliferative agent for restenosis. Due to recent concerns related to long-term mortality, paclitaxel (PTX)-based endovascular therapy is now surrounded by controversies. Objective: Examine the inflammatory mediators driven by the systemic administration of PTX and explore the means to suppress these effects. Methods: RNAseq analysis, cell and mouse models. Results: RNAseq analysis of primary human endothelial cells (ECs) treated with PTX demonstrated transcriptional perturbations of a set of pro-inflammatory mediators, including monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 (MCP-1) and CD137, which were validated in EC lysates. These perturbations were abrogated with dexamethasone, a prototypic anti-inflammatory compound. The media of ECs pre-treated with PTX showed a significant increase in MCP-1 levels, which were reverted to baseline levels with DEX treatment. A group of mice harvested at different time points after PTX injection were analyzed for immediate and delayed effects of PTX. A 3-fold increase in MCP-1 was noted in blood and aortic ECs after 12 hours of PTX treatment. Similar changes in CD137 and downstream mediators such as tissue factor, VCAM-1 and E-selectin were noted in aortic ECs. Conclusions: Our study shows that systemic PTX exposure upregulates atherothrombotic markers, and co-delivery of DEX can subdue the untoward toxic effects. Long-term studies are needed to probe the mechanisms driving systemic complications of PTX-based therapies and evaluate the clinical potential of DEX to mitigate risk.
