Antitubulin chemotherapeutics agents, such as paclitaxel, are effective chemotherapy drugs for cancer treatment. However, painful neuropathy is a major adverse effect limiting the wider application of chemotherapeutics. In this study, we found that A-kinase anchor protein 150 (AKAP150) was significantly upregulated after paclitaxel injection. Inhibition of AKAP150 via siRNA or AKAP150(flox/flox) in rodents alleviated the pain behavior induced by paclitaxel, and partly restored the decreased calcineurin (CN) phosphatase activity after paclitaxel treatment. Paclitaxel decreased the expression of anti-inflammatory cytokine interleukin-4 (IL-4), and intrathecal injections of IL-4 effectively alleviated paclitaxel-induced hypersensitivity and the frequency of dorsal root ganglion (DRG) neurons action potential. The decreased CN enzyme activity, resulted in reduced protein expression of nuclear factor of activated T cells 2 (NFAT2) in cell nuclei. Chromatin immunoprecipitation showed that, NFAT2 binds to the IL-4 gene promoter regulating the protein expression of IL-4. Overexpression of NFAT2 by intrathecal injection of the AAV5-NFAT2-GFP virus alleviated the pain behavior induced by paclitaxel via increasing the expression of IL-4. Knocked down AKAP150 by siRNA or AAV5-Cre-GFP partly restored the expression of IL-4 in DRG. Our results indicated that regulation of IL-4 via the CN/NFAT2 pathway mediated by AKAP150 could be a pivotal treatment target for paclitaxel-induced neuropathic pain and or other neuropsychiatric disorders.
