Popis: Taxanes are chemotherapeutic agents that induce microtubule modifications in cancer cells, resulting in cell cycle modifications and tumor remission. Here we show that paclitaxel, a widely used taxane, also induces microtubule modifications in healthy epidermal keratinocytes leading to chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy (CIPN). Paclitaxel activates the cell cycle regulator, Kinesin-5 (Eg5), which promotes microtubule detyrosination and fasciculation (dfMT). Eg5 loss protects neurons from paclitaxel neurotoxicity, whereas keratinocyte-specific overexpression promotes axon degeneration.In vivoimaging and 3D reconstructions of dfMTs and nuclei, combined with mechanotransduction studies further show that dfMTs constrict keratinocyte nuclei, leading to nuclear Nox-dependent reactive oxygen species (X-ROS) formation upstream of MMP-13 and cutaneous sensory axon degeneration. This new insight facilitates our understanding of chemotherapy side effects and highlights the need for targeted therapies.
