PURPOSE: Syndecan-1 is a multifunctional transmembrane heparan sulfate proteoglycan present on a variety of cell types that mediates basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF) and other growth factor binding. High serum syndecan-1 (S-syndecan-1) ectodomain levels have been found to be associated with poor outcome in lung cancer and myeloma, but little is known about the effect of cancer treatment on S-syndecan-1 levels. We studied S-syndecan-1 levels longitudinally in a series of patients diagnosed with locoregional squamous cell larynx or hypopharynx carcinoma (n=44) and who we treated with surgery and/or radiation therapy.
METHODS: S-syndecan-1 and S-bFGF levels were measured with ELISA prior to, during, and following primary treatment of patients. Syndecan-1 expression was assessed from formalin-fixed and paraffin-embedded tumour samples using immunohistochemistry.
RESULTS: S-syndecan-1 levels tended to correlate positively with S-bFGF levels, and the pretreatment levels decreased from a median value of 75 to 58 ng/ml 3 months following treatment (P<0.0001). Patients treated with radiation therapy had a transient increase in S-syndecan-1 during the course of radiation therapy. Patients whose S-syndecan-1 decreased >or=10% from the pretreatment level had more favourable survival than those whose levels remained stable or increased (P=0.0069). Recurred cancer was associated with elevated S-syndecan-1 as compared to the levels measured 3 months following completion of primary therapy.
CONCLUSIONS: These findings suggest that a part of S-syndecan-1 originates from the cancerous tissue, and that S-syndecan-1 levels generally decrease following successful cancer treatment.
