Host genetic variability has been implicated in chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy (CIPN). A dose-limiting toxicity for chemotherapy agents, CIPN is also a debilitating condition that may progress to chronic neuropathic pain. We utilized a bioinformatics approach, which captures the complexity of intracellular and intercellular interactions, to identify genes for CIPN.
Using genes pooled from the literature as a starting point, we used Ingenuity Pathway Analysis (IPA) to generate gene networks for CIPN.
We performed IPA core analysis for genes associated with platinum-, taxane- and platinum-taxane-induced neuropathy. We found that IL6, TNF, CXCL8, IL1B and ERK1/2 were the top genes in terms of the number of connections in platinum-induced neuropathy and TP53, MYC, PARP1, P38 MAPK and TNF for combined taxane-platinum-induced neuropathy.
Neurotoxicity is common in cancer patients treated with platinum compounds and anti-microtubule agents and CIPN is one of the debilitating sequela. The bioinformatic approach helped identify genes associated with CIPN in cancer patients.
宿主遗传变异性与化疗引起的周围神经病变(CIPN)有关。CIPN 是化疗药物的一种剂量限制毒性,也是一种使人虚弱的疾病,可能发展为慢性神经性疼痛。我们利用一种生物信息学方法,该方法可以捕捉细胞内和细胞间相互作用的复杂性,来确定与 CIPN 相关的基因。
我们使用文献中汇集的基因作为起点,使用 Ingenuity Pathway Analysis(IPA)生成 CIPN 的基因网络。
我们对与铂类、紫杉烷类和铂类-紫杉烷类诱导的神经病相关的基因进行了 IPA 核心分析。我们发现,在铂类诱导的神经病中,IL6、TNF、CXCL8、IL1B 和 ERK1/2 是连接数最多的基因,而在联合紫杉烷-铂类诱导的神经病中,TP53、MYC、PARP1、P38 MAPK 和 TNF 是连接数最多的基因。
接受铂化合物和抗微管药物治疗的癌症患者中常见神经毒性,CIPN 是其使人虚弱的后遗症之一。生物信息学方法有助于确定与癌症患者 CIPN 相关的基因。
