Cell motility is regulated by actin-binding proteins, which ensure the association/dissociation of actin filaments and their interaction with the cell membrane. Previously, we have shown the presence of actin-binding proteins in the serum from patients with squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck (HNSCC); however, their association with the development of metastases and relapses in cancer patients has not been sufficiently studied.</p> <p><bold>Aim</bold>: To evaluate the serum levels of actin-binding proteins fascin-1 and ezrin in patients with HNSCC depending on the disease recurrence and lymphatic metastasis.</p> <p><bold>Materials and methods</bold>: Serum fascin-1 and ezrin levels before combination therapy were measured with ELISA assay in 30 HNSCC (T1-4N0-2M0) patients (mean age 56 ± 7 years).</p> <p><bold>Results</bold>: The median fascin-1 level was significantly higher in the patients with lymphatic metastases, compared to those without metastases: 0.64 (0.40; 5.89) vs 6.35 (1.72; 8.35) ng/mL, respectively (p &lt; 0.001). At 12 to 36 months after combination therapy, the disease relapsed in 12 (40%) patients. Ezrin levels were significantly higher in the relapsed patients, compared to those without a relapse within 3 years after combination therapy: 2.55 (2.35; 2.75) vs 1.93 (1.87; 2.5) ng/mL (p = 0.02). The ROC analysis showed an association between fascin-1 serum levels with metastatic disease (AUC = 0.71, 95% confidence interval 0.57–0.85) and an association between ezrin levels and the disease relapse (AUC = 0.76, 95% confidence interval 0.57–0.94).</p> <p><bold>Conclusion</bold>: These indicators can be used for the development of minimally invasive early detection of metastases in lymphatic nodes and for the prognosis of HNSCC recurrence.</p></abstract><trans-abstract xml:lang="ru"><p><bold>Актуальность</bold>. В процессе неопластической трансформации эпителиальные клетки становятся подвижными, что служит одним из основных механизмов метастазирования и рецидивирования. Клеточная подвижность регулируется актин-связывающими белками, осуществляющими ассоциацию/диссоциацию актиновых филаментов между собой и с клеточной мембраной. Ранее нами показано присутствие актин-связывающих белков в сыворотке крови больных плоскоклеточным раком головы и шеи (ПРГШ), однако недостаточно исследована их связь с развитием метастазов и рецидивов у онкологических больных.</p> <p><bold>Цель</bold> – исследовать уровень актин-связывающих белков фасцина-1 и эзрина в сыворотке крови больных ПРГШ в зависимости от рецидивирования и лимфогенного метастазирования.</p> <p><bold>Материал и методы</bold>. У 30 пациентов с ПРГШ (T1-4N0-2M0), средний возраст 56 ± 7 лет, методом иммуноферментного анализа определяли уровни фасцина-1 и эзрина в сыворотке крови до комбинированного лечения.</p> <p><bold>Результаты</bold>. Медианный уровень фасцина-1 был статистически значимо выше в сыворотке пациентов с лимфогенными метастазами по сравнению с больными без метастазов: 0,64 (0,40; 5,89) и 6,35 (1,72; 8,35) нг/мл соответственно (p &lt; 0,001). В период от 12 до 36 месяцев после комбинированного лечения рецидив опухоли развился у 12 (40%) больных. Уровень эзрина был статистически значимо выше в группе больных с рецидивированием по сравнению с больными ПРГШ, у которых рецидивы не развились в течение 3 лет после комбинированного лечения: 2,55 (2,35; 2,75) против 1,93 (1,87; 2,5) нг/мл (p = 0,02). По данным ROC-анализа выявлена связь содержания фасцина-1 в сыворотке крови с процессом метастазирования (AUC = 0,71, 95% доверительный интервал 0,57–0,85) и связь содержания эзрина с развитием рецидивов (AUC = 0,76, 95% доверительный интервал 0,57–0,94).</p> <p><bold>Заключение</bold>. Полученные показатели могут быть использованы для разработки малоинвазивных способов раннего обнаружения метастазов в лимфатических узлах и для прогноза рецидивирования ПРГШ.</p></trans-abstract><kwd-group xml:lang="en"><kwd>squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck</kwd><kwd>recurrence</kwd><kwd>lymphatic metastasis</kwd><kwd>prognosis</kwd><kwd>actin-binding proteins</kwd><kwd>fascin</kwd><kwd>ezrin</kwd></kwd-group><kwd-group xml:lang="ru"><kwd>плоскоклеточный рак головы и шеи</kwd><kwd>рецидивирование</kwd><kwd>лимфогенное метастазирование</kwd><kwd>прогноз</kwd><kwd>актин-связывающие белки</kwd><kwd>фасцин</kwd><kwd>эзрин</kwd></kwd-group><funding-group><award-group><funding-source><institution-wrap><institution xml:lang="ru">Госзадание НИИ онкологии Томского НИМЦ</institution></institution-wrap><institution-wrap><institution xml:lang="en">State project of the Cancer Research Institute of the Tomsk National Research Medical Center of the Russian Academy of Sciences</institution></institution-wrap></funding-source></award-group></funding-group></article-meta></front><body></body><back><ref-list><ref id="B1"><label>1.</label><citation-alternatives><mixed-citation xml:lang="en">Kaprin AD, Starinskiy VV, Shahzadova AO, editors.
