CIF induces specific changes in gene expression in the PBMNC of LRBC patients. Some of these changes, such as downregulation of NCAN expression, may reflect direct effects of chemotherapy since they are also observed in the controls. Furthermore, CIF may involve downregulation of skeletal muscle genes (RHOBT1, DUSP18) and immune systems (RAETG1), whereas NCAN downregulation may underlie the adverse cognitive effects of chemotherapy.
