Association of the immediate perioperative dynamics of circulating DNA levels and neutrophil extracellular traps formation in cancer patients.
Precision Clinical Medicine 2024 June
OBJECTIVES: Elevated circulating DNA (cirDNA) concentrations were found to be associated with trauma or tissue damage which suggests involvement of inflammation or cell death in post-operative cirDNA release. We carried out the first prospective, multicenter study of the dynamics of cirDNA and neutrophil extracellular trap (NETs) markers during the perioperative period from 24 h before surgery up to 72 h after curative surgery in cancer patients.
METHODS: We examined the plasma levels of two NETs protein markers [myeloperoxidase (MPO) and neutrophil elastase (NE)], as well as levels of cirDNA of nuclear (cir-nDNA) and mitochondrial (cir-mtDNA) origin in 29 colon, prostate, and breast cancer patients and in 114 healthy individuals (HI).
RESULTS: The synergistic analytical information provided by these markers revealed that: (i) NETs formation contributes to post-surgery conditions; (ii) post-surgery cir-nDNA levels were highly associated with NE and MPO in colon cancer [ r = 0.60 ( P < 0.001) and r = 0.53 ( P < 0.01), respectively], but not in prostate and breast cancer; (iii) each tumor type shows a specific pattern of cir-nDNA and NETs marker dynamics, but overall the pre- and post-surgery median values of cir-nDNA, NE, and MPO were significantly higher in cancer patients than in HI.
CONCLUSION: Taken as a whole, our work reveals the association of NETs formation with the elevated cir-nDNA release during a cancer patient's perioperative period, depending on surgical procedure or cancer type. By contrast, cir-mtDNA is poorly associated with NETs formation in the studied perioperative period, which would appear to indicate a different mechanism of release or suggest mitochondrial dysfunction.
