External irradiation (IRR) of advanced head and neck tumors often includes tissues of the larynx and trachea unaffected by cancer. In these normal tissues, both single-cell damage (necrosis, apoptosis, functional cell death) and interstitial damage (edema, fibrosis, vascular alterations, cellular infiltrations) resulting in tissue remodeling can occur, depending on various IRR parameters. However, reports on radiogenic intermediate filament protein alterations in laryngeal-tracheal tissues are very rare. In this study, we investigated the phenotypic characterization of the normal integrity-supporting cytokeratins (CK) and vimentin following a clinically relevant IRR protocol in laryngeal-tracheal tissues.
