Prevention of vincristine-induced peripheral neuropathy by protecting the endothelial glycocalyx shedding
BIOCHEMICAL AND BIOPHYSICAL RESEARCH COMMUNICATIONS(2024)
摘要
Vincristine-induced peripheral neuropathy (VIPN) adversely affects the quality of life and treatment continuity of patients. The endothelial glycocalyx (eGCX) protects nerves from harmful substances released from the capillary vessels, but its role in peripheral neuropathy remains unclear. We investigated the impact of eGCX protection on VIPN. Using a murine model of VIPN, we administered nafamostat mesylate to protect the eGCX shedding, and analyzed the eGCX integrity and manifestation of peripheral neuropathy. Nafamostat treatment suppressed allodynia associated with neuropathy. Additionally, nafamostat administration resulted in the suppression of increased vascular permeability in capillaries of peripheral nerves, further indicating its positive influence on eGCX in VIPN model mice. This study provided the importance of eGCX in VIPN. With the potential for rapid clinical translation through drug repositioning, nafamostat may be a new promising treatment for the prevention of VIPN.
