ABSTRACT
Chemotherapy-induced cognitive dysfunction (chemobrain) is an important adverse sequela of chemotherapy. Chemobrain has been identified by the National Cancer Institute as a poorly understood problem for which current management or treatment strategies are limited or ineffective. Here, we show that chemotherapy treatment with doxorubicin (DOX) in a breast cancer mouse model induced protein kinase A (PKA) phosphorylation of the neuronal ryanodine receptor/calcium (Ca2+) channel type 2 (RyR2), RyR2 oxidation, RyR2 nitrosylation, RyR2 calstabin2 depletion, and subsequent RyR2 Ca2+ leakiness. Chemotherapy was furthermore associated with abnormalities in brain glucose metabolism and neurocognitive dysfunction in breast cancer mice. RyR2 leakiness and cognitive dysfunction could be ameliorated by treatment with a small molecule Rycal drug (S107). Chemobrain was also found in noncancer mice treated with DOX or methotrexate and 5-fluorouracil and could be prevented by treatment with S107. Genetic ablation of the RyR2 PKA phosphorylation site (RyR2-S2808A) also prevented the development of chemobrain. Chemotherapy increased brain concentrations of the tumor necrosis factor-α and transforming growth factor-ß signaling, suggesting that increased inflammatory signaling might contribute to oxidation-driven biochemical remodeling of RyR2. Proteomics and Gene Ontology analysis indicated that the signaling downstream of chemotherapy-induced leaky RyR2 was linked to the dysregulation of synaptic structure-associated proteins that are involved in neurotransmission. Together, our study points to neuronal Ca2+ dyshomeostasis via leaky RyR2 channels as a potential mechanism contributing to chemobrain, warranting further translational studies.
