AbstractMicrotubule targeting agents (MTAs) are anticancer therapies commonly prescribed for breast cancer and other solid tumors. Sensory peripheral neuropathy (PN) is the major dose-limiting toxicity for MTAs and can limit clinical efficacy. The current pharmacogenomic study aimed to identify genetic variations that explain patient susceptibility and drive mechanisms underlying development of MTA-induced PN. A meta-analysis of genome-wide association studies (GWAS) from two clinical cohorts treated with MTAs (CALGB 40502 and CALGB 40101) was conducted using a Cox regression model with cumulative dose to first instance of grade 2 or higher PN. Summary statistics from a GWAS of European subjects (n = 469) in CALGB 40502 that estimated cause-specific risk of PN were meta-analyzed with those from a previously published GWAS of European ancestry (n = 855) from CALGB 40101 that estimated the risk of PN. Novel single nucleotide polymorphisms in an enhancer region downstream of sphingosine-1-phosphate receptor 1 (S1PR1 encoding S1PR1; e.g., rs74497159, βCALGB40101 per allele log hazard ratio (95% CI) = 0.591 (0.254 - 0.928), βCALGB40502 per allele log hazard ratio (95% CI) = 0.693 (0.334 - 1.053); PMETA = 3.62×10−7) were the most highly ranked associations based on P-values with risk of developing grade 2 and higher PN. In silico functional analysis identified multiple regulatory elements and potential enhancer activity for S1PR1 within this genomic region. Inhibition of S1PR1 function in iPSC-derived human sensory neurons shows partial protection against paclitaxel-induced neurite damage. These pharmacogenetic findings further support ongoing clinical evaluations to target S1PR1 as a therapeutic strategy for prevention and/or treatment of MTA-induced neuropathy.

Background: Peripheral neuropathy is a long-term complication that attacks the nerves and loses the sensation of protection which affects about 50% of people with diabetes mellitus (DM). Diabetic foot exercises can help blood circulation, especially in the legs or lower limbs. This researched aimed to analyze the effect of diabetic foot exercise on sensory peripheral neuropathy in DM clients.Method: The study design used quasi-experimental pre-post test with control group. Samples were 28 respondents using purposive sampling and divided into two groups of 14 respondents each. The independent variable is diabetic foot training, and the dependent variable is peripheral sensory neuropathy. Interventions are carried out 3 times a week for 4 weeks. The research instrument was Weinstein Monofilament 10 g Semmes and a diabetic foot training checklist. Data analysis using the Wilcoxon-signed rank test and Mann Whitney test with α≤0.05.Result: The Wilcoxon-signed rank test in the treatment group showed differences in sensory peripheral neuropathy after treatment (p=0,000) and no difference in the control group (p=0.564). The Mann Whitney test results showed differences in sensory peripheral neuropathy between the treatment group and the control group after treatment p=0.039.Conclusion: Diabetic foot exercises can be used as an alternative measure to improve sensory peripheral neuropathy.

Abstract Background Chemotherapy often causes chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy (CIPN), but effective prevention measures are still lacking. Whether vitamin E can prevent peripheral neurotoxicity caused by chemotherapy is inconclusive. Therefore, we collected related randomized controlled trials (RCTs) and conducted a meta-analysis to examine whether vitamin E could prevent CIPN. Methods We searched PubMed, EMBASE and the Cochrane databases in November 2019 for eligible trials. Two reviewers conducted the analysis independently when studies were homogeneous enough. Results Eight RCTs, involving 555 patients, were identified. Upon pooling these RCTs, patients who received vitamin E supplementation of 600 mg/day had a significantly lower incidence of peripheral neuropathy (RR 0.31; 95% CI 0.14 to 0.65; P = 0.002) induced by chemotherapy compared with the placebo group. Vitamin E played a key role in decreasing the incidence of peripheral neuropathy in the cisplatin chemotherapy group (RR 0.28; 95% CI 0.14 to 0.54; P = 0.0001). With regard to improvements in sural amplitude, vitamin E supplementation significantly decreased patients’ sural amplitude after three rounds of chemotherapy (RR -2.66; 95% CI -5.09 to -0.24; P =0.03) in contrast with that of placebo supplementation, while no significant difference was observed when patients were treated with vitamin E after six rounds of chemotherapy. In addition, the vitamin E group had better improvement in the neurotoxicity score (RR -2.65; 95% CI -4.01to -1.29; P = 0.0001) and a lower incidence of reflexes and distal paraesthesias (RR 0.50; 95% CI 0.29 to 0.87; P = 0.01) compared to the control group. Conclusion Available data included in this meta-analysis showed that vitamin E supplementation can confer modest improvement in the prevention of CIPN. However, large-scale, well-designed RCTs are needed to confirm the exact role of vitamin E supplementation in the prevention of CIPN.
