Aim: To evaluate microviscosity and sorption capacity of erythrocyte membranes (SCEM) from patients with laryngeal cancer (LC).
Materials and Methods: Samples from 35 patients with LC of stages II and III and 20 healthy volunteers were investigated by electron
paramagnetic resonance with Bis(1-oxyl-2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidinyl-4)-ester of 5,7-dimethyladamantane-1,3-dicarbonic acid
(AdTEMPO) probe. SCEM was evaluated by amount of unabsorbed methylene blue. Results: Microviscosity of erythrocyte membranes
was determined by the effective rotational diffusion correlation times (τeff) and a decrease in radical spectrum signal intensity per hour.
The most apparent decrease in mobility of the AdTEMPO in erythrocytes was observed prior to washing of erythrocytes with 0.9% NaCl
for 5 min after probe insertion. The deceleration after 60 min was observed only in stage II LC. τeff was at control values after washing
of erythrocytes of stage II LC 5 min after probe insertion and was significantly reduced in stage III LC in comparison to control. Radical
spectrum signal intensity per hour in samples of stage II and III patients prior to and after washing of erythrocytes was on average 1.5-fold
higher than that of control. SCEM in samples of stage II and III LC was found in 40 and 33% cases, respectively and was on average
significantly reduced in comparison to control. Conclusions: The initial interaction of AdTEMPO with erythrocyte membranes of stage
II and III LC patients is accompanied by an increase in τeff, indicating deceleration of probe rotation. τeff of the probe in membranes remains
unchanged in 60 min, indicating changes in the structural organization of lipid bilayer and its associated proteins in particular. The simi-
larity of SCEM for both studied groups reflects the pathological changes in function of erythrocyte membranes.
Key Words: laryngeal cancer, erythrocytes, EPR, nitroxyl radicals, sorption capacity of erythrocyte membranes.
According to international epidemiological data�
laryngeal cancer �LC� accounts for �� to ��% of all
malignant �ead and neck tumors and � to �.�% of all
�uman malignant neoplasms. In terms of �istopat�o logy�
�� to �8% of LCs are of squamous cell origin. T�e disease
is found to be more prevalent in men t�an women. T�e
�ig�est incidence of LC occurs between t�e fift� and se
vent� decade of life. Despite t�e constant improvements
in met�ods for diagnosing t�e LC� most of diagnosed
cases represent t�e advanced cancer �stage III�IV�� w�ic�
demands radical surgical approac�es resulting in �ig�
rate of disability and deat� among t�e patients [�� �].
Quantitative and qualitative c�anges in blood content
are a wellknown response to exogenous and endoge
nous affecting factors in order to maintain �omeostasis.
T�us� t�e compre�ensive study of blood cells morp�o
logy is a necessary step in t�e investigation of t�e effects
t�at various substances exert on t�e organism. Eryt�ro
cytes are considered to be t�e universal cellular model
reflecting p�ysiological and pat�ological c�anges in t�e
organism [�]. Considerable correlation between c�anges
in eryt�rocyte membranes and plasmalemmas in organs
�as been establis�ed� w�ic� allows for using eryt�rocyte
membranes as natural models for studies of permeability
of all types of biomembranes [�].
Electron paramagnetic resonance �EPR� spectro
scopy is a valuable tec�nique allowing for detection of da
mage to cellular metabolic processes. T�e spin probes
in particular can be used to study structural c�anges
in cellular membranes at early stages of metabolic dis
ruptions. A spin probe molecule is paramagnetic and
can t�us be investigated in t�e magnetic field. Nitroxyl
radicals are t�e most widely used probes. Synt�esis
and study of stable nitroxyl radicals �ave been directed
towards t�e creation of effective spin probes [�]. Ada
mantane derivatives are known to interact wit� natural
and model membranes. T�ey are capable of membrane
integration and interaction wit� t�e lipid bilayer and
integrated proteins [�]. Bis��oxyl����6�6tetramet�
ylpiperidinyl��ester of ���dimet�yladamantane���
dicarbonic acid �AdTE�PO�� a lipop�ilic nitroxyl biradical�
was synt�esized in Institute of Bioorganic C�emistry and
Petroc�emistry �Kyiv� Ukraine�. It can embed in a model
lipid bilayer� wit� nitroxyl group localizing between water
and lipid p�ase �Fig. �� [6]. T�is substance may t�erefore
be used as a spin probe to investigate eryt�rocyte mem
brane structures. T�e aim of t�e study was to investigate
microviscosity and sorption capacity of eryt�rocyte
membranes �SCE�� from LC patients.

MATERIALS AND METHODS
Patients. We investigated �� patients of SE
“Kolomiyc�enko Institute of Otolaryngology” �Kyiv�
Ukraine�. �ale patients aged �� t�roug� 6� years wit�
initial stages of LC were selected for participation.
Of t�em� �8 patients were diagnosed wit� II stage la
ryngeal keratotic squamous cell carcinoma �T�N����
and �� wit� III stage �T�N����. T�e control group was
composed of �� apparently �ealt�y volunteers. All t�e
groups were randomized for age and sex composi
tion. All subjects were informed about t�e aim of t�e
study. Informed consent was obtained from every
participant.
Biochemical measurements. Blood samples
were obtained from median cubital vein puncture
of fasting patients in t�e morning and mixed wit� �.8%
sodium citrate anticoagulant ��:�� in plastic test tubes.
T�e studies were performed on eryt�rocytes prior
to and posttriple was�ing wit� �.�% sodium c�loride
solution [�]. SCE� was assayed after A.A. Togaybayev
wit� modifications by T.V. Kopytova [8]. T�e amount
of unabsorbed met�ylene blue was evaluated� and
t�e amount of absorbed dye was calculated according
to t�e following formula ���:
А (%) = (100 – DE/DC) • 100,
w�ere DE is t�e experimental sample absorbance
and DC is t�e control sample absorbance.
EPR measurements. �icroviscosity of eryt�ro
cyte membranes was studied wit� spin probe met�od
using adamantanebased nitroxyl radical [�]. Final
probe concentration in samples was 5•10�� М. EPR
spectra were registered wit� Varian E� Xband spec
trometer �� GHz�. T�e strengt� of center magnetic field
was ���� G �Gauss�� a time constant � s� scan time
� min. We used glass capillary probes of �.� ml wit�
t�e inner diameter of � mm. T�e simultaneous stan
dard signal of �n�+/�gO �� and � lines� wit� known
values of gfactor was used to equalize experimental
conditions.
We calculated t�e following parameters from t�e
obtained spectra: t�e effective rotational diffusion
correlation times �τeff�� �yperfine interaction constant
�HI�� and temporal c�ange in signal intensity. Correla
tion time for rotational diffusion was calculated based
on t�e following formula ���:
τeff = 6,65 • 10–10 ∆H+1(√—I+1/I–1 – 1),
w�ere I+1� I–1 are t�e intensities of t�e lowfield and
�ig�field lines and ΔH+� is t�e peaktopeak line widt�
of lowfield line.
Statistical processing was carried out using
WinPEPI package of programs for biometrics re
searc�. Student’s ttest and �ann — W�itney Utest
were used to assess differences between t�e data
on LC of different stages and control group. T�e de
scription was made wit� t�e mean and t�e standard
deviation for t�e parameters t�at followed a normal
distribution� and t�e median �P��� and �� �Q�� and
�� �Q�� percentiles for t�e variables t�at did not follow
a normal distribution. Differences were considered
significant at р < �.��.
RESULTS AND DISCUSSION
We measured �yperfine interaction constant from
EPR spectra of t�e radical in eryt�rocyte suspension
of all t�e groups in order to c�aracterize spin probe
environment prior to t�e experiments. It was measured
to be �6.�� G in all instances� w�ic� indicates t�at
AdTE�PO embeds into t�e lipid bilayer of eryt�rocyte
membrane wit� nitroxyl fragment situated on t�e lipid
water p�ase boundary.
T�e mobility of t�e biradical in membrane environ
ment was expressed as effective rotational diffusion
correlation time �τeff� �Table ��. Since various substan
ces may be absorbed by cellular membranes and block
t�eir receptors� increasing t�eir lability and disrupting
permeability� all t�e experiments were performed
on eryt�rocytes prior to and after was�ing wit� �.�%
sodium c�loride solution. Probe diffusion was slow
in samples of eryt�rocytes from blood of stage II and
III LC patients; τeff at � min after probe insertion was
5.95 ± 0.51•10��� s and 5.26 ± 0.23•10��� s in comparison
to 4.69 ± 0.16•10��� s in t�e control group �p < �.�� and
p > �.���. T�e biradical mobility �ad a tendency to de
crease in 6� min in stage II LC patients in comparison
to control �p > �.���. T�e difference of t�is parameter
in stage III patients in comparison to control and t�e
ot�er experimental group was not significant.

better accessibility of membrane lipids �lipid rafts� for

on average significantly lower in comparison to t�e

Institute of Bioorganic C�emistry and Petroc�emistry
�Kyiv� Ukraine�� �as been used as a paramagnetic
probe to investigate interactions wit� membranes
of plastids and subplastid systems as well as mixed
p�osp�olipid liposomes from sunflower� soybean
and egg yolk [6� �� ��]. We were t�e first group to use
it to assess microviscosity of eryt�rocyte membranes
in LC patients. T�e probe diffusion may be interpreted
as �appening in two stages: membrane surface sorp
tion and permeation into lipid bilayer. We can t�us
observe using EPR spectra various τeff for binding
of AdTE�PO to membrane surface �� min� and du
ring t�e probe permeation of eryt�rocyte membranes
�6� min�. Primary sorption of AdTE�PO on eryt�rocyte
membranes is associated wit� increased τeff� w�ic�
indicates in�ibited torsion of t�e probe. T�e effective
rotational diffusion correlation time furt�er increased
in 6� min� yet t�ese c�anges are not substantial� w�ic�
may result from disruptions in lipid bilayer structure
and integrated proteins [��]. T�is assumption was
confirmed by data of residual signal intensity. Cel
lular membrane permeability decreases significantly
in LC patients� and t�is impedes intracellular antioxi
dants from interacting wit� nitroxyl radical t�at is on t�e
outer surface of t�e plasmalemma. T�e cellular mem
brane of t�e �ealt�y volunteers is intact and functions
normally. T�e presence of t�e exc�ange line in t�e
control group may be associated wit� better availability
of lipid rafts to t�e lipop�ilic probe. Radical fragments
in t�em are situated closer to eac� ot�er [��].

Evaluation of sorption capacity is widely applied
to assess a state of eryt�rocyte membranes. SCE�
analysis provides information on reduction capacity
of eryt�rocytes� w�ic� c�anges wit� fluctuation in plas
mallemma’s barrier functions. Diminis�ed sorption
capacity is interpreted by some aut�ors as an indicator
of energy deficiency in t�e eryt�rocyte. T�us� degrada
tion of eryt�rocyte membranes and transmembrane
transport leads to disruptions in energy metabolism
wit�in t�e eryt�rocytes accompanied by decreased
ATP content and pyruvate kinase activity [��]. T�e
increased SCE� is perceived as an indicator of t�eir
damage and cellular degradation [8].
Eryt�rocyte membrane permeability �as been
s�own to increase under recurrent infections of up
per respiratory tract� c�ronic obstructive pulmonary
disease� dermatoses� acute pancreatitis� c�ronic ne
p�ropat�ies� etc.� depending on t�e gravity and stage
of t�e pat�ological conditions [8� ����6]. Decreased
SCE� was observed only in patients wit� t�e metabolic
syndrome [��]. To t�e best of our knowledge� t�ere are
no studies on SCE� in cancer.
Hence� we establis�ed in t�e present study t�e
decrease in SCE� from blood of LC patients in com
parison to �ealt�y volunteers� irrespectively of t�e
stage of t�e disease. Notably� t�ere is no significant
difference between patients of t�e bot� experimental
groups. We consider t�e decrease of SCE� in blood
of t�e LC patients as an indicator of pat�ological
c�anges in surface functional activity of eryt�rocyte
membranes� in particular of t�eir inability to efficiently
transport metabolites via bloodstream [��� �8].
