Summary. Background: Interaction between tumor cells and tumor microenvironment is critical for homeostasis of normal cells and tumor growth. Tumor cell — stroma interaction represents the potent factor able to initiate cancer and affect tumor progression and disease outcome. The tumors vary by their origin and microenvironment (proportion of stromal cells, their composition and activation state). The surgical stress and tumor microenvironment may potentiate acute hepatic failure in the patients with metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC). Pathological effect of ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) consists in the increased generation of superoxide radicals (SR) and nitrogen oxide (NO) affecting the postresectional regeneration of liver tissue. Redox state of hepatic tissue in I/R setting upon resection of metastases may trigger the aggressiveness of residual cancer cells and regeneration or degradation of hepatic tissue. The aim of the study was to analyze redox state of hepatic tissue following surgery with Pringle maneuver (PM) in the patients with mCRC. Materials and Methods: mCRC samples from 145 patients treated at National Cancer Institute, Ministry of Health of Ukraine, were analyzed. The patients obtained chemotherapy according to the approved international and national standards as well as clinical protocols. Two groups of patients were delineated according to the duration of the interruption of blood inflow due to PM, namely ≤ 45 min and > 45 min. The activity of FeS proteins in the electron transport chain (ETC) in mitochondria and lactoferrin (LF) level in the tissues were assessed by EPR (77К). The rates of SR and NO generation were determined with spin traps. The activity of matrix metalloproteinase (MMP)-2 and -9 was measured by gelatin zymography using SDS-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. Results: In tissue of liver resected in the setting of > 45 min ischemia, ETC function in mitochondria was impaired (decreased activity of FeS protein of N-2 ETC complex I due to interaction with NO). This results in the hypoxia state and glycolysis with uncontrolled SR generation. In addition, the efficiency of detoxification system in hepatocytes is reduced substantially with increase in semiquinone and LF levels as well as MMP-2 and -9 activity as compared with liver without metastatic lesions that was not affected by I/R. Conclusions: The ischemic injury of liver in the setting of metastasis resection results from cell response to interruption of blood flow followed by reperfusion. The key factor in the genesis of reperfusion damage is uncontrolled increase of the levels of SR and their metabolites — reactive oxygen species as well as the increased MMP activity. Also, liver tissue affected by I/R contains high levels of xanthine oxidase metabolizing hypoxanthine and monoamine oxidase deaminizing biogenic amines. Both processes are the sources of SR.
