PG - 10753-61 LID - 10.1007/s13277-016-4967-4 [doi] AB - TGF-beta1 and oxidative stress are involved in cancer progression, but in melanoma, their role is still controversial. Our aim was to correlate plasma TGF-beta1 levels and systemic oxidative stress biomarkers in patients with melanoma, with or without disease metastasis, to understand their participation in melanoma progression. Thirty patients were recruited for melanoma surveillance, together with 30 healthy volunteers. Patients were divided into two groups: Non-metastasis, comprising patients with tumor removal and no metastatic episode for 3 years; and Metastasis, comprising patients with a metastatic episode. The plasmatic cytokines TGF-beta1, IL-1 beta, and TNF-alpha were analyzed by ELISA. For oxidative stress, the following assays were performed: malondialdehyde (MDA), advanced oxidation protein products (AOPP) levels, total radical-trapping antioxidant parameter (TRAP) and thiol in plasma, and lipid peroxidation, SOD and catalase activity and GSH in erythrocytes. Patients with a metastatic episode had less circulating TGF-beta1 and increased TRAP, thiol, AOPP and lipid peroxidation levels. MDA was increased in both melanoma groups, while catalase, GSH, and IL-1beta was decreased in Non-metastasis patients. Significant negative correlations were observed between TGF-beta1 levels and systemic MDA, and TGF-beta1 levels and systemic AOPP, while a positive correlation was observed between TGF-beta1 levels and erythrocyte GSH. Lower levels of TGF-beta1 were related to increased oxidative stress in Metastasis patients, reinforcing new evidence that in melanoma TGF-beta1 acts as a tumor suppressor, inhibiting tumor relapse. These findings provide new knowledge concerning this cancer pathophysiology, extending the possibilities of investigating new therapies based on this evidence.
