Pathophysiological mechanisms of the injury of peripheral neural system are not fully investigated; however, some studies have shown the involvement of vascular endothelial growth factors.</p> <p><bold>Aim</bold>: To evaluate plasma levels of angiogenic growth factors in children with ALL and to identify their association with the development of vincristine-induced peripheral polyneuropathy.</p> <p><bold>Materials and methods</bold>: This single center prospective study included 41 patients with ALL aged 3 to 17 years. All patients were given the ALL-MB 2015 chemotherapy regimen. Depending on the vincristine-induced peripheral polyneuropathy, the patients were divided into two groups: the main group (n = 22) comprised of the patients with neurological signs and symptoms of peripheral neuropathy and the control group (n = 19), those without clinical signs of the peripheral nervous system involvement. The levels of angiogenic growth factors (VEGF-A, VEGF-D, PlGF-1, and PDGF-BB) were measured in plasma by multiparameter immunofluorescent analysis.</p> <p><bold>Results</bold>: During 3 months of the follow up the chemotherapy-induced signs of peripheral polyneuropathy developed in 53.6% (n = 22) of the children. In 72.7% (n = 16) of the patients the chemotherapy-induced peripheral polyneuropathy was characterized by a combination of neurologic abnormalities with prevailing motor symptoms. The comparative analysis of plasma angiogenic growth factors in children with ALL depending on the presence or absence of the vincristine-induced peripheral polyneuropathy showed that there was a significant decrease of the VEGF-A in those with chemotherapy-induced peripheral polyneuropathy, compared to those without (Me [Q1; Q3]: 178.20 [138.40; 228.45] and 558.50 [160.10; 650.0], respectively, p &lt; 0.017). This parameter had diagnostic sensitivity of 77.7% and specificity of 76.9%.</p> <p><bold>Conclusion</bold>: We have shown a high clinical value of plasma vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF-A) level, which makes it possible to consider it as a significant biological marker of neurotoxicity in vincristine-induced peripheral polyneuropathy.</p></abstract><trans-abstract xml:lang="ru"><p><bold>Обоснование</bold>. Химиоиндуцированная периферическая полинейропатия относится к основным нейротоксическим осложнениям при лечении острого лимфобластного лейкоза (ОЛЛ) у детей. Патогенетические механизмы повреждения периферической нервной системы до конца не изучены, однако исследования показали участие факторов роста эндотелия сосудов.</p> <p><bold>Цель</bold> – оценить содержание уровня ангиогенных факторов роста в плазме крови у детей при ОЛЛ и определить их связь с формированием периферической полинейропатии, индуцированной винкристином.</p> <p><bold>Материал и методы</bold>. В одноцентровом проспективном исследовании участвовал 41 пациент в возрасте от 3 до 17 лет с ОЛЛ. Все пациенты получали химиотерапию по протоколу ALL-MB 2015. В зависимости от развития периферической полинейропатии, индуцированной винкристином, пациенты были разделены на две группы: в основную (n = 22) вошли больные, имеющие неврологические признаки периферической полинейропатии, в группу сравнения (n = 19) – дети без клинических симптомов поражения периферической нервной системы. Методом мультипараметрического иммунофлуоресцентного анализа в плазме крови определяли уровень ангиогенных факторов роста (VEGF-A, VEGF-D, PlGF-1, PDGF-BB).</p> <p><bold>Результаты</bold>. В течение 3-месячного периода наблюдения признаки периферической полинейропатии на фоне химиотерапии появились у 53,6% (n = 22) детей. При этом у 72,7% (n = 16) больных химиоиндуцированная периферическая полинейропатия характеризовалась сочетанием неврологических нарушений с преобладанием моторных симптомов. Сравнительный анализ плазменных ангиогенных факторов роста в группах детей с ОЛЛ в зависимости от формирования периферической полинейропатии, индуцированной винкристином, показал, что у больных с химиоиндуцированной периферической полинейропатией в отличие от пациентов, не имеющих данных за поражение периферической нервной системы, установлено статистически значимое снижение фактора роста эндотелия сосудов А (Me [Q1; Q3]: 178,20 [138,40; 228,45] и 558,50 [160,10; 650,0] соответственно, p &lt; 0,017). При оценке клинической ценности данного параметра диагностическая чувствительность составила 77,7%, а специфичность – 76,9%.</p> <p><bold>Заключение</bold>. Нами показана высокая клиническая ценность плазменного фактора роста эндотелия сосудов (VEGF-A), что позволяет рассматривать его как значимый биологический маркер нейротоксичности при периферической полинейропатии, вызванной винкристином.</p></trans-abstract><kwd-group xml:lang="en"><kwd>acute leukemia</kwd><kwd>children</kwd><kwd>chemotherapy</kwd><kwd>neurotoxicity</kwd><kwd>angiogenic growth factors</kwd><kwd>polyneuropathy</kwd></kwd-group><kwd-group xml:lang="ru"><kwd>острый лейкоз</kwd><kwd>дети</kwd><kwd>химиотерапия</kwd><kwd>нейротоксичность</kwd><kwd>ангиогенные факторы роста</kwd><kwd>полинейропатия</kwd></kwd-group><funding-group><award-group><funding-source><institution-wrap><institution xml:lang="ru">Уральский государственный медицинский университет</institution></institution-wrap><institution-wrap><institution xml:lang="en">Ural State Medical University</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">Rumyantsev AG.
