Abstract
The objective is to evaluate the contents of matrix metalloproteinases (MMP) MMP9, MMP2, as well as their inducer EMMPRIN in circulating exosomes of patients with colorectal cancer in relation with clinical and morphological parameters, as well as with the presence of metabolic syndrome to search for promising exosomal markers associated with invasion, metastasis and metabolic disorders.Materials and methods. The study included 40 patients with colorectal cancer (T2–4N0–2M0–1) and 10 control patients. Exosomes of blood plasma were isolated by ultrafiltration with ultracentrifugation. The level of MMP9, MMP2 and their inducer EMMPRIN in exosomes was evaluated by flow cytometry.Results and conclusion. The level of MMP9‑positive exosomes was significantly higher in patients with colorectal cancer compared with patients with colorectal polyps. The proportion of MMP9‑negative and triple positive MMP9 + / MMP2+ / EMMPRIN+ exosomes, on the contrary, was higher in patients with polyps compared with patients with colorectal cancer. Mixed subpopulation of MMP9+ / MMP2– / EMMPRIN-exosomes prevailed both in patients with colorectal cancer and in control patients. There were no significant differences in the subpopulations of MMP and EMMPRIN in the exosomes of colorectal cancer patients depending on the age, stage, grade and localization. Gender differences in the occurrence of a triple-positive exosome subpopulation in colorectal cancer patients have been revealed. No relationship was found between the expression of MMP and EMMPRIN in exosomes and the presence of the metabolic syndrome, anthropometric parameters, the level of total cholesterol, low density lipoprotein cholesterol, high density lipoprotein cholesterol. However, the relationships between MMP9+ / MMP2– / EMMPRIN–, MMP9+ / MMP2– / EMMPRIN– and the level of triglycerides and glucose in blood serum were revealed. Further studies are needed to study the characteristics of exosomes associated with metabolic disorders and the possibility of their use as diagnostic, prognostic, or predictor biomarkers.

Summary
Содержащих экзосомы, экспрессирующие ММР9 и отрицательные по 2 другим маркерам, преобладали как у больных КРР, так и у пациентов контрольной группы. Выявлены гендерные различия в экспрессии ММР и EMMPRIN в образцах латексных частиц, содержащих экзосомы у больных КРР. Цель исследования – оценка уровня содержания ММР9, ММР2, а также их индуктора EMMPRIN в циркулирующих экзосомах больных КРР и определение возможной ассоциации протеаз с клиническими и морфологическими параметрами, а также с наличием метаболического синдрома для поиска перспективных экзосомальных маркеров, связанных с инвазией, метастазированием и метаболическими нарушениями. Материалы и методы Образцы крови пациентов группы контроля (n = 10; возраст 45,3 ± 4,1 года) и больных КРР (n = 40; возраст 58,6 ± 1,6 года) с различными стадиями (T2–4N0–2M0–1) получены в НИИ онкологии ТНИМЦ
