Chemotherapy Induced Deficits in Cognition and Affective Behavior Chemotherapy Induced Deficits in Cognition and Affective Behavior DISSERTATION Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Brant Lee Jarrett Graduate Program in Neuroscience The Ohio State University 2013 Dissertation Committee: Anne Courtney DeVries, Advisor Randy J. Nelson Jonathan P. Godbout Georgia A. Bishop Copyright by Brant Lee Jarrett 2013 Abstract Advances in cancer detection and treatment have substantially increased the survival rate for breast cancer patients. Chemotherapeutic drugs, particularly anthracyclines, have potentially toxic side effects in the brain- impacting memory, processing time and verbal fluency, depression, and anxiety. More than 30% of patients undergoing chemotherapy for breast cancer suffer from cognitive deficits, depression, or anxiety during and after treatment. Furthermore, for some women these symptoms persist for decades after treatment cessation. Therefore, alleviating anxiety, depression, and cognitive deficits among cancer survivors is important for both quality of life (QOL) and long-term physical health. However, despite the high incidence and significant impact on quality of life, little is known about the cause of the chemotherapy related effects on cognition and affective behavior and no effective treatment currently exists. The present body of work examined the effects of chemotherapeutic agents doxorubicin and cyclophosphamide (AC) on behavior in a non-tumor bearing mouse model. The goals of this dissertation are to determine the physiological mechanism through which AC impairs cognition and affective behavior, as well as test the efficacy of minocycline, an antibiotic with anti-inflammatory properties, in amelioration of chemotherapy-induced changes in behavior. Chemotherapy treated mice exhibited greater anxiogenic-like and depressive-like behavior than the vehicle group; however, there was not a difference in overall activity level, suggesting that these differences were not due to chemotherapy- induced lethargy. In addition, microglia in the brains of chemotherapy-treated mice had ii shifted to a proinflammatory state compared to the vehicle group. There was an overall increase in proinflammatory cytokine expression, specifically tumor necrosis alpha (TNF-α) and interleukin 6 (IL-6), in the chemotherapy-treated mice. We also show that administration of minocycline during chemotherapy reduces expression of IL-6 and prevents depression and anxiety behavior in chemotherapy treated mice. Chemotherapy also affected learning and memory; both the chemotherapy- treated and vehicle-treated mice were able to acquire the task by the final day of training. However, the vehicle-treated mice reached asymptotic performance after fewer training sessions than the chemotherapy-treated mice. Furthermore, the chemotherapy- treated mice took significantly longer to find the escape box than the vehicle-treated mice on training days 2-5. In contrast, there were no group differences in overall locomotor activity level. In addition, chemotherapy increased proinflammatory cytokine expression (TNF-α, IL-1β, and IL-6) in the hippocampus, a region of the brain that is critical for spatial learning and memory. Minocycline reversed the chemotherapy- induced cognitive deficits and increase in IL-6. Together, these data suggest that the administration of doxorubicin and cyclophosphamide in doses that are at the lower limit of doses used in women being treated for breast cancer, produce neuroinflammation, including microglia activation, increased proinflammatory cytokine expression and concomitant cognitive deficits and alterations in affective behavior in female mice. Treatment with minocycline reverses the behavioral and inflammatory effects of chemotherapy. These findings suggest a possible mechanism by which chemotherapy alters neuropsychological behavior. More iii importantly administration of minocycline to cancer patients receiving chemotherapy may improve quality of life and overall physical and mental health; currently no treatments exist for chemotherapy-induced cognitive deficits. Furthermore, minocycline is readily administered in hospitals, is well tolerated over long periods of time, and would be an inexpensive treatment as it is also available in generic form. iv Dedication This thesis is dedicated to my wife, Olivia Olsen Jarrett for being next to me and supporting me every step of the way and to Von and Elaine Jarrett, for guiding and encouraging me. v Acknowledgments As a masters student at Brigham Young University studying the effects of stress in humans I became familiar with Courtney DeVries research and wanted to work with animal models in her lab. Over the years Courtney has been influential in instructing and helping me to become a scientist. She was always open to new ideas and new projects and her knowledge of animal behavior was essential in helping me design and carry out successful behavioral studies. I will forever be indebted to her for helping me obtain my PhD. Kate Karelina and Katie Stuller were also influential in helping me transition from clinical research to animal studies. Kate was very patient in answering all of my questions and Katie broadened my horizon by teaching me about immunology and how to apply it to the various projects I was working on. Adam Hinzey assisted me in a number of different projects and was very helpful in designing and carrying out projects. Monica was always willing to help with every aspect of my projects and made the lab a fun environment and Zhang Ning truly is an expert surgeon, without whom I would not have been able to work on a number of projects. I owe a great deal of thanks to the Nelson lab for allowing me to use their equipment and specifically to James Walton who was always willing to show me new techniques and help me modify experimental designs to make them better. Thanks to Chen Shan for performing some of the behavior and other aspects of the experiments and Tracy, Laura, John, and Taryn for all of their insight. vi I have had a lot of help from a number of faculty members and collaborators at OSU. I want to thank Dr. Randy Nelson, Dr. Georgia Bishop, and Dr. Jonathan Godbout for serving on my candidacy and dissertation committees. Your time and input have been invaluable in my success. I want to thank Dr. Maryam Lustberg and Dr. Charles Shapiro for guidance on the drug administration and making possible this amazing project. I also want to thank Eric Wohleb, Ashley Fenn, Dr. Jon Godbout, and Dr. Kevin Foust for all of their help and insight with this chemotherapy project specifically. They have been wonderful to collaborate with. I also want to thank all of the undergraduates that spent many hours assisting with all of the tedious aspects involved in research, specifically Christine Fung, Julie Corbett, Mark Serpico, David Paternite, Allison Butler, Mandy Fritsch, and Andrew Tarr. Finally I have to thank my family for everything. My wife was willing to follow me out here, away from all of our family and friends, to be a single mom for four and a half years while I continued my education. My parents always encouraged me and believed in me and always pushed me to obtain as much education as possible. My father is my hero and was the perfect example of hard work. Many times as a young teenager I would have to work with him instead of playing with my friends. Although I hated it then, it helped me learn the importance of hard work without which, I wouldn’t be where I am today. vii Vita May 1997 ...............................................

  • Sickness Behavior and the Metabolic Demand of Immunity: Insight from a Live Bacterial Infection Model
    Sickness Behavior and the Metabolic Demand of Immunity: Insight from a Live Bacterial Infection Model. by Robert Michael Johnson A dissertation submitted to the Graduate Faculty of Auburn University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy Auburn, Alabama August 8, 2020 Keywords: Immunometabolism, Life-history Theory, Listeria monocytogenes Sickness Behavior, Trade-offs Copyright 2020 by Robert Michael Johnson Approved by Elizabeth Hiltbold Schwartz, Chair, Associate Professor of Biology Michael Greene, Associate Professor of Nutrition Robert Judd, Associate Professor of Pharmacology Kate Buckley, Assistant Professor of Biology Abstract Life-history theory states that animals have access to a finite amount of resources over their lifespan. These resources are allocated between growth, reproduction, and maintenance, and how these resources are allocated will affect the overall fitness of an organism. A fundamental assumption of this theory is that once a resource is utilized by a trait, it cannot be used by another trait. Thus, when the demand for resources for one trait increases, it will come at the cost of the other traits. The host’s immune system is responsible for survival from pathogenic invasions. Therefore, it is a critical part of maintenance. Studies have examined the trade-offs induced by an immune response. The current knowledge on trade-offs incurred during an immune response come from the use of pathogen-associated molecular patterns (PAMPs), non-pathogenic antigens such as sheep red blood cells (SRBCs), or keyhole limpet hemocyanin (KLH). These studies have observed trade-offs with metabolism and weight. Additionally, some of these studies have observed decreased activity, increased fatigue, loss of appetite, and fever.

Modified nucleo- sides can disrupt biological processes causing the death of cancer or virally-infected cells. 10 Fluorinated analogues of biologically active compounds are often characterized by a dramatic change in their activity, compared with the parent molecules. Fluorine, the most electronegative element, is isosteric with a hydroxy group, the C-F bond length (1.35 A) being similar to the C-O bond length (1.43 A). In addition, it is the second smallest atom and it can mimic hydrogen in a modified structure; its van der Waals radius (1.47 A) is intermedi- 15 ate between that of hydrogen (1.20 A) and that of oxygen (1.52 A).

Department of Neurology, Massachusetts General Hospital, Harvard Medical School, Boston, MA, US; 2. Institute of Medical Psychology, Medical Faculty, Goethe University, Frankfurt, Germany DOI: http://doi.org/10.17925/USN.2016.12.01.43 Abstract Decline in cognitive function, such as memory impairment, is one of the most commonly reported symptoms in cancer patients. Importantly, cognitive impairment is not restricted to patients treated for brain tumors, but also frequently present in patients treated for tumors outside the nervous system. Recent discoveries from preclinical and translational studies have defined various risk factors and mechanisms underlying such symptoms. The translation of these findings into clinical practice will improve patient management by limiting the degree of neurotoxicity from current therapies, and by exploring novel mechanisms of brain repair.

  • The Influence of Cell Cycle Regulation on Chemotherapy
    International Journal of Molecular Sciences Review The Influence of Cell Cycle Regulation on Chemotherapy Ying Sun 1, Yang Liu 1, Xiaoli Ma 2 and Hao Hu 1,* 1 Institute of Biomedical Materials and Engineering, College of Materials Science and Engineering, Qingdao University, Qingdao 266071, China; [email protected] (Y.S.); [email protected] (Y.L.) 2 Qingdao Institute of Measurement Technology, Qingdao 266000, China; [email protected] * Correspondence: [email protected] Abstract: Cell cycle regulation is orchestrated by a complex network of interactions between proteins, enzymes, cytokines, and cell cycle signaling pathways, and is vital for cell proliferation, growth, and repair. The occurrence, development, and metastasis of tumors are closely related to the cell cycle. Cell cycle regulation can be synergistic with chemotherapy in two aspects: inhibition or promotion. The sensitivity of tumor cells to chemotherapeutic drugs can be improved with the cooperation of cell cycle regulation strategies. This review presented the mechanism of the commonly used chemotherapeutic drugs and the effect of the cell cycle on tumorigenesis and development, and the interaction between chemotherapy and cell cycle regulation in cancer treatment was briefly introduced. The current collaborative strategies of chemotherapy and cell cycle regulation are discussed in detail. Finally, we outline the challenges and perspectives about the improvement of combination strategies for cancer therapy.

Background: Capecitabine is a highly effective and taxane therapy is distressing for women and can lead patients well-tolerated treatment for metastatic breast cancer (MBC) and to consider stopping therapy (1). Intense nausea associated extends survival when combined with docetaxel. Capecitabine with anthracycline-based therapy also adversely affects and cyclophosphamide are orally administered and have patients' quality of life (2). Therefore a chemotherapy preclinical synergy and non-overlapping toxicities. Patients and regimen that minimises these effects is likely to be attractive Methods: Sixteen pretreated MBC patients received escalating to patients. Another important consideration with taxane- doses of oral capecitabine 628 to 829 mg/m2 twice daily (bid) and anthracycline-based therapies is the need for regular plus oral cyclophosphamide 33 to 50 mg/m2 bid, on days 1 to 14 clinic visits or hospitalisations for intravenous administration every 21 days.

Glucocorticoid regulation of inflammation and its behavioral and metabolic correlates: from HPA axis to glucocorticoid receptor dysfunction Marni N. Silverman and Esther M. Sternberg National Institutes of Health National Institute of Mental Health Section on Neuroendocrine Immunology and Behavior Bethesda, MD 20892, USA Abstract Enhanced susceptibility to inflammatory and autoimmune disease can be related to impairments in HPA axis activity and associated hypocortisolism, or to glucocorticoid resistance resulting from impairments in local factors affecting glucocorticoid availability and function, including the glucocorticoid receptor (GR). The enhanced inflammation and hypercortisolism that typically characterize stress-related illnesses, such as depression, metabolic syndrome, cardiovascular disease or osteoporosis, may also be related to increased glucocorticoid resistance. This review focuses on impaired GR function as a molecular mechanism of glucocorticoid resistance. Both genetic and environmental factors can contribute to impaired GR function. The evidence that glucocorticoid resistance can be environmentally induced has important implications for management of stress-related inflammatory illnesses and underscores the importance of prevention
