Background: Chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy (CIPN) is a common and intractable complication in chemotherapy-receiving patients. Insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1) is a popular neurotrophin with various functions, such as maintaining neuronal survival and synaptic functioning in the central nervous system. Therefore, we hypothesized that the IGF-1 signaling pathway could be a candidate target for treating CIPN. Methods: We established the CIPN model by injecting mice intraperitoneally with oxaliplatin and assessed IGF-1 protein expression, its receptor IGF1R, phospho-IGF1R (p-IGF1R), interleukin-17A (IL-17A), tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha), and calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) in the lumbar spinal cord with Western blot and immunofluorescence. To examine the effect of IGF-1 signaling on CIPN, we injected mice intrathecally or intraperitoneally with mouse recombinant IGF-1 (rIGF-1). Results: IGF-1 protein expression decreased significantly in the spinal cord on D3 and D10 (the 3rd and 10th days after beginning oxaliplatin chemotherapy) and was co-localized with astrocytes primarily in the lumbar spinal cord, whereas IGF1R was predominantly expressed on neurons. Both intrathecally-and intraperitoneallyadministered rIGF-1 relieved the chemotherapy-induced pain-like behavior and reduced IL-17A, TNF-alpha, and CGRP protein expressions in the spinal cord. Conclusion: Our results indicate a vital role for IGF-1 signaling in CIPN. Targeting IGF-1 signaling could be a potent therapeutic strategy for treating CIPN in clinical settings.
