Updated project metadata. Chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy (CIPN) is a serious side effect of cancer treatment, often leading to cessation of therapy due to lack of adequate treatment options. In the peripheral nervous system the chemotherapeutic agent paclitaxel impairs mitochondrial function and induces vast changes in gene expression. However, changes at the protein level remain so far unexplored. Here we used an unbiased approach of quantitative proteome profiling in a clinically-relevant rat model of paclitaxel-induced peripheral neuropathy. We analysed two critical timepoints: (1) day 7, equivalent to 1 day after cessation of paclitaxel treatment, prior to neuropathy development; (2) approximately 4 weeks after paclitaxel initiation, when neuropathy has developed.
