Abstract

5-Fluorouracil (5-FU) is an antimetabolite chemotherapy widely used for the treatment of various cancers. However, many cancer patients experience hematological side effects following 5-FU treatment. Here, we investigated the protective effects of 1-palmitoyl-2-linoleoyl-3-acetyl-rac-glycerol (PLAG) as a mitigator against 5-FU-induced hematologic toxicity, including neutropenia, monocytopenia, thrombocytopenia, and thrombocytosis, in Balb/c mice injected with 5-FU (100 mg/kg, i.p.). Administration of PLAG significantly and dose-dependently reduced the duration of neutropenia and improved the nadirs of absolute neutrophil counts (ANCs). Moreover, while the ANCs of all mice in the control fell to the severely neutropenic range, none of the mice in the PLAG 200 and 400 mg/kg-treated groups experienced severe neutropenia. Administration of PLAG significantly delayed the mean first day of monocytopenia and reduced the duration of monocytopenia. PLAG also effectively reduced extreme changes in platelet counts induced by 5-FU treatment, thus preventing 5-FU-induced thrombocytopenia and thrombocytosis. PLAG significantly decreased plasma levels of the chemokine (C–X–C motif) ligand 1 (CXCL1), CXCL2, interleukin (IL)-6, and C-reactive protein (CRP), which were elevated consistently with the occurrence time of neutropenia, monocytopenia, and thrombocytopenia. When compared with olive oil and palmitic linoleic hydroxyl glycerol (PLH), only PLAG effectively mitigated 5-FU-induced hematological toxicity, indicating that it has a distinctive mechanism of action. In conclusion, PLAG may have therapeutic potential as a mitigator for 5-FU-induced neutropenia and other hematological disorders.

<abstract>
<p>5-Fluorouracil (5-FU) is an antimetabolite chemotherapy widely used for the treatment of various cancers. However, many cancer patients experience hematological side effects following 5-FU treatment. Here, we investigated the protective effects of 1-palmitoyl-2-linoleoyl-3-acetyl-rac-glycerol (PLAG) as a mitigator against 5-FU-induced hematologic toxicity, including neutropenia, monocytopenia, thrombocytopenia, and thrombocytosis, in Balb/c mice injected with 5-FU (100 mg/kg, i.p.). Administration of PLAG significantly and dose-dependently reduced the duration of neutropenia and improved the nadirs of absolute neutrophil counts (ANCs). Moreover, while the ANCs of all mice in the control fell to the severely neutropenic range, none of the mice in the PLAG 200 and 400 mg/kg-treated groups experienced severe neutropenia. Administration of PLAG significantly delayed the mean first day of monocytopenia and reduced the duration of monocytopenia. PLAG also effectively reduced extreme changes in platelet counts induced by 5-FU treatment, thus preventing 5-FU-induced thrombocytopenia and thrombocytosis. PLAG significantly decreased plasma levels of the chemokine (C–X–C motif) ligand 1 (CXCL1), CXCL2, interleukin (IL)-6, and C-reactive protein (CRP), which were elevated consistently with the occurrence time of neutropenia, monocytopenia, and thrombocytopenia. When compared with olive oil and palmitic linoleic hydroxyl glycerol (PLH), only PLAG effectively mitigated 5-FU-induced hematological toxicity, indicating that it has a distinctive mechanism of action. In conclusion, PLAG may have therapeutic potential as a mitigator for 5-FU-induced neutropenia and other hematological disorders.</p>

<title>1. Introduction</title>
<p>5-Fluorouracil (5-FU) is a pyrimidine analog of antimetabolite drug used for the treatment of various solid tumors including colorectal cancer, head and neck cancer, and breast cancer [
<xref rid="B1-cancers-11-01811" ref-type="bibr">1</xref>
]. Although 5-FU has been widely used as a first line of chemotherapy to improve tumor elimination and survival [
<xref rid="B2-cancers-11-01811" ref-type="bibr">2</xref>
,
<xref rid="B3-cancers-11-01811" ref-type="bibr">3</xref>
], many patients who received this drug have experienced a range of side effects [
<xref rid="B4-cancers-11-01811" ref-type="bibr">4</xref>
,
<xref rid="B5-cancers-11-01811" ref-type="bibr">5</xref>
,
<xref rid="B6-cancers-11-01811" ref-type="bibr">6</xref>
]. Among these, hematological toxicity occurs very frequently in cancer patients treated with chemotherapy, and it is a major cause of treatment discontinuation [
<xref rid="B7-cancers-11-01811" ref-type="bibr">7</xref>
]. The cytotoxic chemotherapy decreases white blood cells (neutropenia and leukopenia), platelets (thrombocytopenia), and red blood cells (anemia), which may cause detrimental effects to patients [
<xref rid="B8-cancers-11-01811" ref-type="bibr">8</xref>
,
<xref rid="B9-cancers-11-01811" ref-type="bibr">9</xref>
,
<xref rid="B10-cancers-11-01811" ref-type="bibr">10</xref>
]. These complications result in dose reductions or delay of the scheduled chemotherapy cycles, which can compromise treatment efficacy and even mortality [
<xref rid="B11-cancers-11-01811" ref-type="bibr">11</xref>
]. Therefore, it is important to prevent the development of chemotherapy-induced hematological toxicity in cancer patients.</p>
<p>Chemotherapy-induced neutropenia is a major dose-limiting toxicity that predisposes cancer patients to infectious diseases with bacteria, such as
<italic>E. coil</italic>
and
<italic>Pseudomonas</italic>
, and fungi, such as
<italic>Candida</italic>
and
<italic>Aspergillus</italic>
[
<xref rid="B12-cancers-11-01811" ref-type="bibr">12</xref>
]. Current treatment options for neutropenic cancer patients are the use of hematopoietic growth factors including the recombinant human granulocyte-colony stimulating factor (rhG-CSF) [
<xref rid="B13-cancers-11-01811" ref-type="bibr">13</xref>
,
<xref rid="B14-cancers-11-01811" ref-type="bibr">14</xref>
]. The use of the cytokine has greatly advanced the management of chemotherapy-induced neutropenia, however, adverse side effects associated with rhG-CSF have been reported [
<xref rid="B15-cancers-11-01811" ref-type="bibr">15</xref>
,
<xref rid="B16-cancers-11-01811" ref-type="bibr">16</xref>
,
<xref rid="B17-cancers-11-01811" ref-type="bibr">17</xref>
]. Furthermore, the adjuvant use of G-CSF should be strictly prescribed because it was reported to modulate the progression of certain non-myeloid tumors [
<xref rid="B18-cancers-11-01811" ref-type="bibr">18</xref>
]. According to Morris and his colleagues, G-CSF receptor (G-CSFR) are highly expressed in human gastrointestinal tumors, and G-CSF is highly produced by stromal myofibroblasts and cancer cells. Thus, the activation of the G-CSF/R axis increases the proliferation and migration of cancer cells by expressing stem-like markers [
<xref rid="B19-cancers-11-01811" ref-type="bibr">19</xref>
]. Therefore, the use of rhG-CSF for the mitigation of chemotherapy-induced neutropenia may be accompanied by unwanted side effects.</p>
<p>Chemotherapy-induced thrombocytopenia is another serious complication that results in dose reduction or discontinuation of chemotherapy [
<xref rid="B20-cancers-11-01811" ref-type="bibr">20</xref>
]. In published reports, about 3–4% of chemotherapy-treated cancer patients experience grade IV thrombocytopenia (platelet counts < 250,000/μL) that requires platelet transfusions [
<xref rid="B9-cancers-11-01811" ref-type="bibr">9</xref>
]. The current treatment option for chemotherapy-induced thrombocytopenia is to use thrombopoietic agents, such as eltrombopag and romiplostim [
<xref rid="B21-cancers-11-01811" ref-type="bibr">21</xref>
,
<xref rid="B22-cancers-11-01811" ref-type="bibr">22</xref>
]. These agents must be delivered prophylactically, in order to prevent the development of chemotherapy-induced thrombocytopenia, because the time needed for the agents to differentiate hematopoietic progenitors to megakaryocytes is about 10–14 days [
<xref rid="B23-cancers-11-01811" ref-type="bibr">23</xref>
]. Recent studies demonstrated that the thrombopoietin receptor agonists reduce the degree and duration of chemotherapy-induced thrombocytopenia, thus allowing the scheduled chemotherapy dose and cycles [
<xref rid="B24-cancers-11-01811" ref-type="bibr">24</xref>
]. However, the long-term effects of these agents on the survival and well-being of cancer patients have not been established.</p>
<p>1-palmitoyl-2-linoleoyl-3-acetyl-rac-glycerol (PLAG), a monoacetyldiglyceride, is a synthetic lipid molecule produced by reacting glycerol, palmitic acid, and linoleic acid [
<xref rid="B25-cancers-11-01811" ref-type="bibr">25</xref>
]. Previously, PLAG has been demonstrated in various inflammatory diseases, such as hepatitis, asthma, rheumatoid arthritis, and oral mucositis [
<xref rid="B26-cancers-11-01811" ref-type="bibr">26</xref>
,
<xref rid="B27-cancers-11-01811" ref-type="bibr">27</xref>
,
<xref rid="B28-cancers-11-01811" ref-type="bibr">28</xref>
,
<xref rid="B29-cancers-11-01811" ref-type="bibr">29</xref>
]. Recently, we showed that administration of PLAG effectively mitigates hematopoietic acute radiation syndrome of mice following a lethal dose of gamma-ray irradiation [
<xref rid="B30-cancers-11-01811" ref-type="bibr">30</xref>
]. Besides, PLAG effectively reduced the incidence of gemcitabine-induced neutropenia by attenuating IL-8-induced neutrophil extravasation in clinical and nonclinical settings [
<xref rid="B31-cancers-11-01811" ref-type="bibr">31</xref>
,
<xref rid="B32-cancers-11-01811" ref-type="bibr">32</xref>
]. Here, we investigated whether PLAG attenuates chemotherapy-induced hematological toxicity in another antimetabolite drug, 5-FU-based chemotherapy. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to present the effect of PLAG in the attenuation of chemotherapy-induced hematological toxicity by analyzing the kinetics of neutrophils, monocytes, and platelets in the peripheral blood over a 15-day observation period after intraperitoneal injection of 5-FU. We also suggest that there is a close association between the occurrence of 5-FU-induced hematological toxicity and elevated plasma levels of pro-inflammatory cytokine/chemokines.</p>

<title>2.1. The Administration of PLAG Attenuates 5-FU-Induced Neutropenia</title>
<p>A single injection of 5-FU 100 mg/kg reduced the absolute neutrophil counts (ANCs) in the control from pre-injection values to <500 cells/μL by 4.7 ± 0.2 days, and PLAG did not significantly delay the onset time of neutropenia (
<xref ref-type="fig" rid="cancers-11-01811-f001">Figure 1</xref>
A and
<xref rid="cancers-11-01811-t001" ref-type="table">Table 1</xref>
). However, the administration of PLAG in 5-FU-injected mice resulted in significant and dose-dependent reduction in the duration of neutropenia (
<xref rid="cancers-11-01811-t001" ref-type="table">Table 1</xref>
). As shown in
<xref ref-type="fig" rid="cancers-11-01811-f001">Figure 1</xref>
B, the control group experienced severe neutropenia (ANC < 100 cells/μL) on days 5, 6, and 7, and administration of PLAG significantly attenuated 5-FU-induced depletion of ANC in a dose-dependent manner. Moreover, the ANC of all mice in the control fell to severely neutropenic range, while none of the mice in the PLAG 200 and 400 mg/kg-treated groups experienced severe neutropenia (
<xref ref-type="fig" rid="cancers-11-01811-f001">Figure 1</xref>
A and
<xref rid="cancers-11-01811-t002" ref-type="table">Table 2</xref>
). Administration of PLAG 50 and 100 mg/kg also reduced the duration of severe neutropenia from 5.1 ± 0.5 days to 3.2 ± 0.6 and 2.1 ± 0.6 days, respectively (
<xref rid="cancers-11-01811-t002" ref-type="table">Table 2</xref>
). PLAG administration significantly and dose-dependently increased the mean ANC nadir (
<xref rid="cancers-11-01811-t003" ref-type="table">Table 3</xref>
). The time of recovery to an ANC ≥500 was significantly and dose-dependently reduced in PLAG-treated groups (
<xref rid="cancers-11-01811-t003" ref-type="table">Table 3</xref>
). From these observations, PLAG is very effective in preventing 5-FU-induced neutropenia.</p>

<xref rid="B33-cancers-11-01811" ref-type="bibr">33</xref>
]. It was reported that monocyte nadir can be used as a predictive factor for neutrophil nadir during lung cancer chemotherapy, and that early onset of monocytopenia after chemotherapy is a risk factor for neutropenia [
<xref rid="B34-cancers-11-01811" ref-type="bibr">34</xref>
]. Therefore, we investigated the effect of PLAG on the kinetics of peripheral monocytes in 5-FU-injected mice. Monocytopenia is defined as a peripheral monocyte count of less than 150 cells/μL [
<xref rid="B35-cancers-11-01811" ref-type="bibr">35</xref>
]. The onset time of monocytopenia in 5-FU-injected mice was 3.7 ± 0.4 days, which occurred about one day earlier than that of neutropenia. The administration of PLAG in 5-FU-injected mice significantly and dose-dependently delayed the onset time of monocytopenia (

<xref rid="cancers-11-01811-t001" ref-type="table">Table 1</xref>
). In addition, PLAG significantly reduced the duration of monocytopenia in a dose-dependent manner (

). As shown in
<xref ref-type="fig" rid="cancers-11-01811-f002">Figure 2</xref>
B, administration of PLAG significantly attenuated 5-FU-induced depletion of peripheral monocyte counts in a dose-dependent manner on days 5, 6, and 7. Moreover, PLAG administration significantly and dose-dependently increased the mean monocyte nadir after 5-FU injection (
<xref rid="cancers-11-01811-t003" ref-type="table">Table 3</xref>
). The time of recovery to the peripheral monocyte counts ≥150 cells/μL was significantly and dose-dependently reduced in PLAG-treated groups (
<xref rid="cancers-11-01811-t003" ref-type="table">Table 3</xref>
). From these observations, PLAG is very effective in preventing 5-FU-induced monocytopenia followed by neutropenia by attenuating 5-FU-induced reduction in the peripheral monocyte counts. </p>

<title>2.3. The Administration of PLAG Attenuates 5-FU-Induced Aberrant Changes in Platelet Counts</title>
<p>It has long been demonstrated that 5-FU induces a moderate reduction of platelet counts (thrombocytopenia), followed by a profound and prolonged increase of platelet counts (thrombocytosis) [
<xref rid="B36-cancers-11-01811" ref-type="bibr">36</xref>
]. Therefore, we investigated the kinetics of peripheral platelets and the effect of PLAG on the aberrant changes in platelet counts in 5-FU-injected mice. In this study, we defined thrombocytopenia as a 50% or greater reduction in platelet count from baseline (666 × 10
<sup>3</sup>
cells/μL), and a twofold or greater increase of platelet count from baseline (2664 × 10
<sup>3</sup>
cells/μL) for thrombocytosis. A single injection of 100 mg/kg of 5-FU induced the moderate thrombocytopenia from three to six days, followed by a more pronounced and prolonged rebound thrombocytosis (
<xref ref-type="fig" rid="cancers-11-01811-f003">Figure 3</xref>
). PLAG did not significantly influence the onset time of thrombocytopenia (
<xref rid="cancers-11-01811-t001" ref-type="table">Table 1</xref>
). However, the platelet counts of all mice in the control fell to the thrombocytopenic range, while the number of mice in PLAG-treated groups remarkably decreased to 3, 4, 1, and 1 out of 8 mice, respectively. PLAG administration significantly and dose-dependently increased the mean nadir of platelet counts after 5-FU injection (
<xref rid="cancers-11-01811-t003" ref-type="table">Table 3</xref>
). Moreover, the time of recovery to platelet counts ≥1000 × 10

<xref rid="cancers-11-01811-t003" ref-type="table">Table 3</xref>
). As shown in
<xref ref-type="fig" rid="cancers-11-01811-f003">Figure 3</xref>
B, administration of PLAG significantly attenuated 5-FU-induced depletion of platelet counts in a dose-dependent manner on days 5, 6, and 7. After the moderate thrombocytopenia, 5-FU induced a remarked increase of platelet counts, which was sustained until the end of the observation (
<xref ref-type="fig" rid="cancers-11-01811-f003">Figure 3</xref>
A). Administration of PLAG significantly and dose-dependently reduced 5-FU-induced increase of platelet counts on days 10, 12, and 15 (
<xref ref-type="fig" rid="cancers-11-01811-f003">Figure 3</xref>
C). In conclusion, PLAG is very effective in regulating the extreme change in platelet counts, thus preventing 5-FU-induced thrombocytopenia and thrombocytosis.</p>

<title>2.4. Correlation Between Hematology and Pro-Inflammatory Cytokine/Chemokines </title>
<p>There have been many reports that 5-FU-based chemotherapy induces various inflammatory diseases, such as oral mucositis, hepatic steatosis, and intestinal mucositis [

]. However, the association between the occurrence of 5-FU-induced hematological toxicity and inflammation remains elusive. Therefore, we analyzed a correlation between hematology data and plasma levels of pro-inflammatory cytokine/chemokines including the chemokine (C–X–C motif) ligand 1 (CXCL1), CXCL2, and interleukin-6 (IL-6), which are directly associated with the migration and activation of innate immune cells, on days of 5, 6, and 7 after 5-FU treatment. As shown in
<xref ref-type="fig" rid="cancers-11-01811-f004">Figure 4</xref>
A, decreasing number of ANCs showed a trend of a negative correlation with elevated levels of CXCL1 (r = −0.2378,

<title>2.5. The Administration of PLAG Attenuates Blood Levels of 5-FU-Induced Pro-Inflammatory Cytokine/Chemokines and C-Reactive Protein (CRP)</title>
<p>As there is a negative correlation between the occurrence of 5-FU-induced hematological toxicity and the increase of pro-inflammatory cytokine/chemokines, we next evaluated the kinetics of plasma CXCL1, CXCL2, and IL-6. 5-FU induced two significant peaks of the pro-inflammatory cytokine/chemokines. The plasma levels of CXCL1, CXCL2, and IL-6 were significantly elevated by about 40.5-, 521.6-, and 145.1-fold on day 0.5 (
<italic>p</italic>
< 0.001), and by about 20.7-, 253.03-, and 18.3-fold on day 6 (

< 0.001), respectively, after 5-FU injection (
<xref ref-type="fig" rid="cancers-11-01811-f005">Figure 5</xref>
A–C). The second peak of the pro-inflammatory cytokine/chemokines on day 6 after 5-FU injection was consistent with the occurrence time of neutropenia, monocytopenia, and thrombocytopenia. While PLAG did not affect the first peak of the pro-inflammatory cytokine/chemokines on day 0.5 (
<xref ref-type="fig" rid="cancers-11-01811-f005">Figure 5</xref>
E,G,I), the levels of CXCL1, CXCL2, and IL-6 were significantly and dose-dependently attenuated by PLAG on day 6 (
<xref ref-type="fig" rid="cancers-11-01811-f005">Figure 5</xref>
F,H,J). The appearance of fever in neutropenic patients, called febrile neutropenia, is a serious complication that requires immediate hospitalization [
<xref rid="B40-cancers-11-01811" ref-type="bibr">40</xref>
]. Therefore, we also examined the plasma level of C-reactive protein (CRP), which is a well-known marker for febrile neutropenia [
<xref rid="B41-cancers-11-01811" ref-type="bibr">41</xref>
,
<xref rid="B42-cancers-11-01811" ref-type="bibr">42</xref>
]. As with the pro-inflammatory cytokine/chemokines, CRP had two significant peaks over a 15-day observation period after 5-FU treatment (
<xref ref-type="fig" rid="cancers-11-01811-f005">Figure 5</xref>
D). PLAG significantly and dose-dependently attenuated 5-FU-induced CRP production on day 6 (
<xref ref-type="fig" rid="cancers-11-01811-f005">Figure 5</xref>
L). In conclusion, PLAG effectively attenuates the production of pro-inflammatory cytokine/chemokines, which is associated with the occurrence of 5-FU-induced hematological toxicity. In addition, PLAG prevents the development of febrile neutropenia by reducing the plasma level of CRP. </p>

<title>2.6. Comparative Analysis between Administration of PLAG and Olive Oil in 5-FU-Induced Hematological Toxicity</title>
<p>PLAG is an 1,2-acyl-3-acetylglycerol-type lipid molecule in which palmitic acid and linoleic acid are esterified to the first and second position of glycerol backbone, respectively, and the acetyl acid to the third positon (
<xref ref-type="fig" rid="cancers-11-01811-f006">Figure 6</xref>
A). As PLAG is a lipid molecule with a calorie of 883 kcal/100g, we next investigated whether the mitigating effect of PLAG resulted from the extra calories of the fatty acids by comparison with olive oil, which contains 884.1 kcal/100g. We also compared PLAG with its unacetylated form, palmitic linoleic hydroxyl glycerol (PLH), to investigate whether its mitigating effect comes from the acetyl moiety. The comparison between PLAG, olive oil, and PLH administration in 5-FU-induced hematological toxicity is presented in
<xref rid="cancers-11-01811-t004" ref-type="table">Table 4</xref>
. PLAG was far superior to olive oil and PLH in mitigating 5-FU-induced neutropenia (
<xref ref-type="fig" rid="cancers-11-01811-f006">Figure 6</xref>
B). While PLAG significantly reduced the duration of neutropenia from 5.0 ± 0.0 to 2.0 ± 0.0 days, administration of olive oil and PLH had no significant effect in reducing the duration of neutropenia. Moreover, while none of the mice in PLAG-treated group experienced severe neutropenia, all mice in the control, olive oil-treated, and PLH-treated group experienced severe neutropenia. PLAG significantly increased the mean ANC nadir compared with the control, but olive oil and PLH did not (
<xref rid="cancers-11-01811-t004" ref-type="table">Table 4</xref>
). As shown in
<xref ref-type="fig" rid="cancers-11-01811-f006">Figure 6</xref>
C, PLAG was also more effective than olive oil and PLH in mitigating 5-FU-induced monocytopenia. While PLAG effectively improved the duration of monocytopenia and monocyte nadir, olive oil and PLH did not. While PLAG effectively prevented the extreme change of platelet counts induced by 5-FU treatment, olive oil and PLH did not (
<xref ref-type="fig" rid="cancers-11-01811-f006">Figure 6</xref>
D). Only PLAG significantly increase the mean nadir of platelet counts when compared with the control (
<xref rid="cancers-11-01811-t004" ref-type="table">Table 4</xref>
). As a result, the administration of olive oil and PLH had no effects in mitigating 5-FU-induced hematological toxicity, indicating that the therapeutic effect of PLAG did not attribute to the extra calories and that the acetyl moiety of PLAG may exert its therapeutic efficacy. This observation suggests that PLAG might have a distinct mechanism in attenuating 5-FU-induced hematological toxicity.</p>

<title>3. Discussion</title>
<p>Cytotoxic chemotherapy develops variable hematological toxicity by suppressing or impairing the hematopoietic system [
<xref rid="B43-cancers-11-01811" ref-type="bibr">43</xref>
]. Neutropenia and monocytopenia increase the risk of infection by weakening the inflammatory response to early infections, allowing bacterial proliferation and invasion [
<xref rid="B44-cancers-11-01811" ref-type="bibr">44</xref>
]. Also, thrombocytopenia and thrombocytosis result in increased risks of excessive bleeding and thrombosis, respectively [
<xref rid="B20-cancers-11-01811" ref-type="bibr">20</xref>
,
<xref rid="B45-cancers-11-01811" ref-type="bibr">45</xref>
]. However, the most immediate danger is that these hematopoietic complications eventually lead to a reduction in chemotherapy dose and frequency, compromising the patients’ long-term disease-free survival [
<xref rid="B14-cancers-11-01811" ref-type="bibr">14</xref>
,
<xref rid="B43-cancers-11-01811" ref-type="bibr">43</xref>
]. In this study, we demonstrated the mitigating effect of PLAG on 5-FU-induced hematological toxicity and elevation of pro-inflammatory cytokine/chemokines.</p>
<p>In previous studies, PLAG was both clinically and non-clinically verified to attenuate gemcitabine-induced neutropenia [
<xref rid="B31-cancers-11-01811" ref-type="bibr">31</xref>
,
<xref rid="B32-cancers-11-01811" ref-type="bibr">32</xref>
]. PLAG attenuated the degree of neutropenia and excessive neutrophil extravasation into the peritoneal cavity by reducing gemcitabine-generated reactive oxygen species (ROS) followed by macrophage inflammatory protein 2 (MIP-2) production [
<xref rid="B31-cancers-11-01811" ref-type="bibr">31</xref>
]. In this study, we used 5-FU-based chemotherapy, which is known to induce more prolonged neutropenia [
<xref rid="B46-cancers-11-01811" ref-type="bibr">46</xref>
], to verify whether PLAG attenuates the duration and severity of 5-FU-induced hematological toxicity. Preclinical toxicity studies in small animals confirmed that a single oral administration of PLAG is safe and well tolerated up to 2000 mg/kg. All the safety and toxicity data of PLAG were submitted to U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for clinical trial for chemotherapy-induced neutropenia in 2015, and it is currently under a phase II clinical trial for the management of severe chemotherapy-induced neutropenia in advanced breast cancer patients who are receiving highly toxic chemotherapy [
<xref rid="B25-cancers-11-01811" ref-type="bibr">25</xref>
]. </p>
<p>We verified that the mitigating effect of PLAG did not result from the extra calorie of fatty acids by comparing it with olive oil, which has a similar amount of calories per weight. Unlike PLAG, olive oil is composed of an array of lipids including triacylglycerols (~99%), mono- and diacylglycerols, and free fatty acids [
<xref rid="B47-cancers-11-01811" ref-type="bibr">47</xref>
]. Fatty acids present in olive oil are mostly mono- and polyunsaturated fatty acids, such as oleic (C18:1), linoleic (C18:2), and linolenic (C18:3) acids [
<xref rid="B48-cancers-11-01811" ref-type="bibr">48</xref>
]. Although these fatty acids are known to have beneficial effects on health [
<xref rid="B47-cancers-11-01811" ref-type="bibr">47</xref>
,
<xref rid="B49-cancers-11-01811" ref-type="bibr">49</xref>
], there was no effect on the mitigation of 5-FU-induced hematological toxicity. From these observations, we perceived that the long-chain fatty acids present in PLAG were not key elements that exert therapeutic effects. PLH is a diacylglycerol consisting of palmitic and linoleic acids covalently bonded to the first and second position of the glycerol backbone, respectively. By comparing PLAG with PLH, we confirmed that the therapeutic efficacy of PLAG might result from acetyl acids esterified to the third position of the glycerol backbone. </p>
<p>In this study, we administered mice with 5-FU by intraperitoneal injection to develop 5-FU-induced hematological toxicity. 5-FU induced a rapid increase of damage-associated molecular patterns (DAMPs) including s100A8/9 and lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) as well as CXCL1, CXCL2, and IL-6 in the peritoneal fluids within 24 h (data not shown). Along with the pro-inflammatory cytokine/chemokines, a primary function of DAMPs is alerting the body about danger by stimulating the immune system [
<xref rid="B50-cancers-11-01811" ref-type="bibr">50</xref>
]. Once in the extracellular environment, DAMPs activate immune cells by interacting with multiple receptors and trigger inflammation in the damaged site. The activated immune cells infiltrate the damaged sites in order to eliminate cellular debris or DAMPs and enable the damaged tissues to undergo the regeneration process [
<xref rid="B51-cancers-11-01811" ref-type="bibr">51</xref>
]. Finally, the damaged sites return to homeostasis, and this process is called the resolution of inflammation [
<xref rid="B52-cancers-11-01811" ref-type="bibr">52</xref>
]. However, when DAMPs in the damaged tissues are not cleared timely by phagocytic immune cells, an excessive amount of neutrophils infiltrates the site of injury, which develops into chronic inflammation and further tissue injury [
<xref rid="B53-cancers-11-01811" ref-type="bibr">53</xref>
]. We observed that PLAG effectively decreased 5-FU-induced release of s100A8/9 and LDH as well as CXCL1, CXCL2, and IL-6 in the peritoneal fluid (data not shown). We assume that the putative mechanism of PLAG in 5-FU-induced hematological toxicity is to accelerate the resolution of inflammation by activating phagocytic cells to phagocytose and remove cellular debris and DAMPs produced by 5-FU treatment and by preventing further tissue damages from DAMP-induced secondary inflammatory responses and excessive migration of the immune cells. We think that such a mechanism of action of PLAG would result in the positive data on hematology and plasma cytokine/chemokine analysis in our 5-FU-induced hematological toxicity model.</p>
<p>Generally, it has long been considered that chemotherapy-induced hematological toxicity mainly results from myeloablative effects of cytotoxic chemotherapy [
<xref rid="B54-cancers-11-01811" ref-type="bibr">54</xref>
]. Indeed, 5-FU (150 mg/kg) injection to adult Swiss mice induced an apparent reduction of bone marrow cellularity, as well as the exhaustion of hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) on day 4 after treatment [
<xref rid="B55-cancers-11-01811" ref-type="bibr">55</xref>
]. We have not yet checked whether PLAG prevents 5-FU from exerting its myeloablative effects in the bone marrow, however, on the basis of our previous data, we do not think that PLAG interrupts the cytotoxic activity of 5-FU on both primary tumors and bone marrow. In a murine model of gemcitabine-induced neutropenia, we demonstrated that PLAG ameliorates ANC decrease without interfering with the tumor-killing effect of gemcitabine [
<xref rid="B31-cancers-11-01811" ref-type="bibr">31</xref>
]. Instead, we assume that PLAG accelerates the recovery of bone marrow cellularity after chemotherapy-induced myeloablation because monoacetyldiglycerides extracted from deer antlers were reported to stimulate the proliferation of HSCs and bone marrow stromal cells [
<xref rid="B56-cancers-11-01811" ref-type="bibr">56</xref>
]. In addition, PLAG was demonstrated to increase the population of myeloid progenitor cells, which were decreased by 5-FU treatment in a murine model of chemotherapy-induced thrombocytopenia [
<xref rid="B57-cancers-11-01811" ref-type="bibr">57</xref>
]. On the basis of the previous literature, the regulatory effect of PLAG on hematopoietic functions may contribute to the alleviation of 5-FU-induced hematological toxicity. In future studies, we will examine the effect of PLAG on the regeneration of hematopoietic stem cells after chemotherapy treatment.</p>
<p>Mice have genetic similarities with human, which confers mice as a useful animal model to study mechanisms and investigative therapeutics of human diseases [
<xref rid="B58-cancers-11-01811" ref-type="bibr">58</xref>
,
<xref rid="B59-cancers-11-01811" ref-type="bibr">59</xref>
]. However, mice have many hematological differences from humans including lower peripheral neutrophil and monocyte counts, a higher percentage of lymphocytes in blood and bone marrow, and a higher peripheral platelet count [
<xref rid="B60-cancers-11-01811" ref-type="bibr">60</xref>
]. Furthermore, the chemotherapy treatment in cancer patients involves multiple cycles and is over a long period [
<xref rid="B61-cancers-11-01811" ref-type="bibr">61</xref>
]. Thus, the patterns of hematological toxicity observed in a clinical setting would be different from a well-controlled nonclinical setting. Nevertheless, we found that 5-FU induces hematological toxicity not only in humans, but also in mice, but the above-mentioned differences should be kept in mind when translating our nonclinical results to human cases. Likewise, we expect that PLAG will exert its efficacy on the hematological toxicity in cancer patients with 5-FU-based chemotherapy regimen, but the optimal timing and dosing schedule should be investigated to enhance its efficacy in cancer patients.</p>
