Abstract

Oxaliplatin is an effective anti-cancer platinum-based chemotherapy drug which can cause severe chronic neuropathy, but the molecular mechanism underlying this adverse effect is still unclear. Opa interacting protein 5 (OIP5) is a member of the cancer/testis antigen (CTA) family and is involved in a variety of cancers. Studies have shown that Raf1, which is a serine/threonine-protein kinase, can directly combine with OIP5 to promote its expression. Whether Raf1 and OIP5 can participate in oxaliplatin-induced neuropathic pain has not been reported.
