Lipid spectrum of erythrocyte membranes in cancer patients

Abstract: In patients with untreated tumors (lung cancer, head and neck tumors, stomach and colon cancer), erythrocyte membranes are characterized by a decreased content of total lipids together with increased percentage of cholesterol and lysophosphatidylcholine in comparison with healthy individuals. The observed shifts depend on tumor location.

“…As regards the lipids, various classes (glycerolipids, sphingolipids, sterols) of these compounds were identified in human membranes and their concentration both in healthy erythrocytes and in pathologically disturbed cells were precisely estimated [1,3,4]. Extremely important finding relating to composition of membranes concerns asymmetrical distribution of lipids between inner and outer layers.…”

“…In formulating new generalizations, we have seen that they are easily integrated into the existing knowledge system [100,117,[120][121][122][123]137]. This allowed us to reach the theory of a typical pathological process [99], which has been actively developed in recent decades [138][139][140][141][142][143]. It turned out that the concepts of cycles • NO and [92,100,116,117,122,130,144,145], the principles of cyclicity and the holographic principle [121,137] complement well the theory of a typical pathological process [99,[137][138][139][140][141][142][143].…”

We consider the following conclusions to be the most significant generalizations: (1) pathology begins with a violation of normal regulatory cycles that maintain basic biochemical and physiological parameters within normal limits; (2) cycles of nitric oxide and superoxide anion radical with heme-containing proteins and antioxidant protection systems do not allow direct interaction of • NO and • O 2 and the formation of nitrogen dioxide ( • NO 2 ) and • OH radicals capable of destroying almost all components of cells and subcellular structures; (3) violation of the above cycles of • NO and • O 2 lead to a transition from the norm to the development of various pathological processes.…”
