“…Previously, in vitro studies of CIPN were performed in rat pheochromocytoma or SK-N-SH human neuroblastoma cell lines as model systems to evaluate decreases in neurite outgrowth in response to neurotoxic chemotherapy drugs, such as paclitaxel, vincristine, oxaliplatin and cisplatin [Rovini, et al 2010, Verstappen, et al 2004, Wheeler, et al 2013, Takeshita, et al 2011, Mendonca, et al 2013]. Our knowledge of the mechanisms of CIPN has also been enhanced through studies using primary rat and mouse dorsal root ganglion neurons [Xiao, et al 2012, Xiao, et al 2011, Cavaletti, et al 1995, Zheng, et al 2012, Staff, et al 2013].…”
