Abstract

AbstractThe epidemiological studies confirm that the overproduction of free radical is an important factor of cancer induction as well as development, and loss of antioxidant systems efficiency is associated with an increased risk of carcinogenesis. While bladder cancer is the fourth most common type of cancer all over the world, there is little evidence of the advancing changes in oxidative/nitrative stress during the progression of bladder cancer. Our study aimed to investigate the plasma levels of typical markers of oxidative/nitrative stress depending on the clinical classification of bladder cancer differentiation and infiltration degree. We examined 40 patients with newly diagnosed bladder cancer and 20 healthy volunteers as a control group. We analysed the plasma levels of protein carbonyls, thiol groups, 3-nitrotyrosine, lipid peroxidation, as well as non-enzymatic plasma antioxidant capacity using DPPH· and ABTS·+ radicals. We confirmed that all analysed biomarkers are higher in enrolled BC patients than in healthy subjects. Furthermore, our findings demonstrate a positive correlation between the degree of bladder cancer progression and the level of oxidative stress, but no correlation in the case of NT-3. Based on obtained results, we might conclude that during carcinogenesis of the bladder increased oxidative damage of biomolecules is manifested. This indicates the participation of oxidative stress in the development of bladder cancer, and it is important the ensure the proper antioxidant protection.
