Background and Purpose: Brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) is a neuronal growth factor that plays an essential role in the maintenance of the nervous system. We have evaluated the peripheral blood protein levels of BDNF and the valine-to-methionine substitution at codon 66 (Val66Met) single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) as potential biomarkers for the early recognition of chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy (CIPN) in non-Hodgkin lymphoma and multiple myeloma patients.
Methods: CIPN was assessed in 45 patients at the diagnosis and during vincristine or bortezomib-based therapy using objective [reduced version of the Total Neuropathy Score (TNSr)] and subjective (FACT-GOG-NTx) tools. Depression was assessed using the Patient Health Questionnaire-9 (PHQ-9) questionnaire. BDNF protein levels and the Val66Met SNP were determined using ELISA and Sanger sequencing.
Results: The pretreatment BDNF protein level was inversely correlated with the maximum TNSr, FACT-GOG-NTx, and PHQ-9 scores in both genotypes. BDNF patients with the Val/Val genotype demonstrated significantly higher maximum FACT-GOG-NTx and PHQ-9 scores than those with the Val/Met and Met/Met genotypes (Met-BNDF carriers). Correlations between PHQ-9 and TNSr score were found only in Met-BDNF carriers, suggesting that peripheral neuropathy and depression coincide in Met-BDNF carriers.
Conclusions: Determining the BDNF protein levels before initiating chemotherapy might be a useful tool for CIPN risk assessment and preemptive dose modification. The present data should be validated in larger studies that include other neurotoxic agents.
