Abstract

Summary. Obesity is an important factor in the development and course of some types of cancer, particularly
tumors of the gastrointestinal tract. Adipose tissue (AT)
negatively affects the function of other tissues and organs
and, thus, obesity aggravates the course of cancer. However, the mechanisms responsible for these interactions,
are not quite clear yet today. Aim: to investigate the redox
state of the adjacent to the tumor of AT (ATAT), its relationship with some factors of the microenvironment and
metastasis of gastric cancer (GC). Objects and methods:
we investigated 11 samples of normal AT (NAT) practically from healthy individuals (after liposuction); samples of the tumor, ATAT and AT at a distance of 3 cm
from the tumor 45 patients with GC II–IV stages. The
presence of obesity in patients with GC was determined
by calculating and interpreting body mass index (BMI).
Also electron paramagnetic resonance, gel zymography, immunohistochemical, biochemical, and statistical
methods were used. Results: mitochondrial dysfunction
of adipocytes causes changes in redox status og ATAT
with GC, and, as a consequence, the respective activation of the redox-dependent factors. The speed of generating superoxide radicals (SR) in the mitochondria of
adipocytes of ATAT is significantly higher (in almost
4 times) than in NAT. The level of oxidative-induced
DNA mutations and gelatinase activity correlate with
the levels of generation CP mitochondria of adipocytes.
Defects in the mechanism of oxidative phosphorylation
activate several redox-sensitive factors in the tumor (hypoxia-inducible factor-1-alpha (HIF-1α), tumor-associated macrophage, tumor-associated adipocytes). Dysfunctional AT is a modifier of microenvironment of GC
that contributes to its progression. The redox state disbalance of dysfunctional AT is associated with obesity
and the degree of its severity correlates with BMI of the
patients. High levels of SR generation and gelatinase activity in ATAT are important factors in the progression
of tumors associated with distant metastasis and may
have prognostic value in the treatment of GC. Conclusion: understanding redox mechanisms of the symbiosis
of the tumor cells and adipocytes can help to find new
targets and prognostic markers for cancer patients who
are overweight, that will provide new approaches to the
individualization of anticancer therapy.
