Abstract
Neurotoxicity is a relevant side effect of bortezomib treatment. Previous reports have shown that the development of peripheral neuropathy caused by anti-neoplastic agents may be a result of reduced axonal transport. Based on evidence from prior studies that the kinesin-5 inhibitor monastrol enhances axonal transport and improves neuronal regeneration, we focused on the neuroprotective role of monastrol during the chemotherapeutic treatment with bortezomib. Prolonged treatment of C57BL/6 mice with bortezomib induced a length-dependent small-fiber neuropathy with axonal atrophy and loss of sensory nerve fibers. The administration of monastrol substantially alleviated morphological features of axonal injury and functional measures of sensory neuropathy. Cytotoxicity studies in leukemia and multiple myeloma cell lines showed no interference of monastrol with the cytostatic effects of bortezomib. Our data indicate that the novel approach of targeting microtubule turnover by monastrol provides protection against bortezomib-induced neurotoxicity. The favorable cytotoxic profile of monastrol makes it an interesting candidate as neuroprotective agent in combined chemotherapy regimens that warrants further consideration.
