For many years, intensive research has been carried out on the in-depth understanding of the pathogenesis of multiple myeloma (MM). Nevertheless, the multifactorial nature of the disease, the development of drug resistance, and the side effects of therapy, make it difficult to effectively treat patients. One of the many factors involved in the pathogenesis of MM is brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF). This factor is widely described as a neuroregenerative and neuroprotective agent, but it also regulates non-neuronal cell functions, such as proliferation, apoptosis, and viability. Therefore, BDNF appears to be a good therapeutic target in MM. On the other hand, its decreased concentration during treatment closely correlates with the development of peripheral neuropathy (PN). BDNF dualism requires a detailed understanding of its action on individual molecular mechanisms. Perhaps the optimization of the BDNF level will contribute to the improvement of MM treatment and the reduction of chemotherapy side effects.
