Abstract
Paclitaxel and oxaliplatin are promising drugs for combination trials but both induce peripheral neurotoxicity. To investigate this
toxicity, 10-week-old female Wistar rats were given single intraperitoneal doses of paclitaxel and oxaliplatin, alone or in combination.
Neurotoxicity was assessed by L5 dorsal root ganglion morphometry and H-reflex-related sensory nerve conduction velocity.
Platinum concentrations in dorsal root ganglia and plasma were measured by inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry. Dorsal
root ganglion nucleolus size was significantly increased following single doses of paclitaxel of 10 and 20 mg kg-1 at 24 h and 6 days
(Po0.02). In contrast, dorsal root ganglion nucleolus size was significantly decreased following single doses of oxaliplatin ranging from
3 to 30mgkg-1 at time points ranging from 2 h to 14 days. Sensory nerve conduction velocity was altered after a single dose of
oxaliplatin but not after paclitaxel. In combination with oxaliplatin, paclitaxel did not alter the plasma pharmacokinetics or dorsal root
ganglion accumulation of oxaliplatin-derived platinum. However, prior paclitaxel inhibited oxaliplatin-induced reductions of dorsal
root ganglion nucleolar diameter (Po0.02). Sensory nerve conduction velocity was reduced after oxaliplatin alone (Po0.05) but
unchanged when paclitaxel was given before oxaliplatin. In conclusion, paclitaxel induces nucleolar enlargement in dorsal root
ganglion neurons after pharmacologically relevant doses in vivo and reduces oxaliplatin nucleolar damage and neurotoxicity.
