摘要：

Background and purpose: Paclitaxel, a widely used anti-cancer drug, is frequently associated with prolonged and severe peripheral neuropathies (PIPN), associated with neuroinflammation. Currently, PIPN effective treatments are lacking. Peroxisome Proliferator-Activated Receptor-alpha (PPAR-?) can modulate inflammatory responses. Thus, the use of PPAR-? agonists, such as fibrates (fenofibrate and choline-fenofibrate), currently used in dyslipidemia treatment, could represent an interesting therapeutic approach in PIPN. Experimental approach: Our studies tested the efficacy of fenofibrate (150 mg/kg, daily, i.p.) and choline fenofibrate (60 mg/kg daily, p.o.) in reversing and preventing the development of PIPN (paclitaxel: 8 mg/kg, i.p., every other day for 4 days) in male and female C57BL/6J mice. Mechanical and cold hypersensitivity, conditioned place preference, sensory nerve action potential (SNAP), as well as the expression of PPAR-?, TNF-?, IL-1 beta and IL-6 mRNA were evaluated. Key results: While fenofibrate treatment partially reversed and prevented the development of mechanical hypersensitivity, this was completely reversed and prevented by choline-fenofibrate. Both fibrates were able to completely reverse and prevent cold hypersensitivity induced by paclitaxel. The reduction of SNAP amplitude induced by paclitaxel was also reversed by both fenofibrate and choline-fenofibrate. Our results indicate that suppression of paclitaxel-induced hypersensitivity by fibrates involves the regulation of PPAR-? expression and decrease neuroinflammation in DRG. Finally, the co-treatment of Paclitaxel and fenofibric acid (fibrates active metabolite) was tested on different cancer cell lines, no decrease in the antitumoral effect of paclitaxel was observed. Conclusions and implications: Taken together, our results show for the first time the therapeutic potential (prevention and reversal) of fibrates in PIPN and opens to a potential pharmacological repurposing of these drugs.
