Abstract
Abstract
Although chemotherapy succeeds in reducing tumor burden, the efficacy is limited due to acquired drug resistance and often irreparable side effects. Studies show that antioxidants may influence the response to chemotherapy and its side effects, although their use remains controversial. The evidence shows that some chemo-drugs induce oxidative stress and lead to normal tissue apoptosis and the entry of cancer cells to a dormant G0 state. Through the suppression of oxidative stress, antioxidants could protect normal cells and bring the tumor out of dormancy so as to expose it to chemotherapies. This review is focused on the redox biology of cancer/normal cells and association of reactive oxygen species with drug resistance, cancer dormancy, and side effects. To this end, evidence from cellular, animal, and clinical studies is provided to better understand the conundrum of dietary antioxidants in cancer chemotherapy.

Abstract
PURPOSE to study dynamics of indicators of oxidative stress and their role in development of cardiotoxicity in patients with lympho-proliferative diseases at the background of polychemotherapy. MATERIALS AND METHODS We included into this study 30 patients with newly detected Non-Hodgkin lymphomas. The control group comprised 15 healthy volunteers. For registration of dynamics of formation of oxygen active forms (OAF), we used highly sensitive chemiluminescence assay. The state of initial stage of lipoperoxidation OAF and radicals of organic compounds) was assessed by dynamics of the leukocyte chemiluminescence. The state of final stage of lipoperoxidation (formation of nonmetabolizing lipid hydroperoxides and other compounds) was assessed by the level of malonic dialdehyde. We also determined indicator of leukocyte chemiluminescence intensity (both basal and zymosan-stimulated). For assessment of the cardiovascular system functional state before and after chemotherapy we used electrocardiography (ECG), echocardiography (EchoCG) and 24-hour ECG monitoring. RESULTS The data obtained were indicative of increased generation of free radicals by leukocytes during polychemotherapy. After chemotherapy course we detected various types of cardiotoxicity. We noted substantial elevation of frequency of supraventricular and ventricular extrasystoles. There was direct correlation between rate of appearance of supraventricular extrasystoles and level of chemiluminescence of leukocytes (r=0.7; p=0.03). According to data of EchoCG although the left ventricular ejection fraction remained within the normal range during chemotherapy, there was a persistent tendency to its decrease (р<0.001). CONCLUSION In this study we for the first time in patients with Non-Hodgkin lymphomas detected an elevation of level of free radical reactions and lipid peroxidation with simultaneous lowering of antiperoxidative activity of blood plasma and their relation to development of cardiotoxic effects. The results obtained indicate to necessity of search for novel early markers of oxidative stress activation, myocardial injury and disfunction able to help to substantially decrease risk of development of cardiovascular complications during and after chemotherapy.

Abstract
For the last few decades, while significant improvements have been achieved in cancer therapy, this family of diseases is still considered one of the deadliest threats to human health. Thus, there is an urgent need to find novel strategies in order to tackle this vital medical issue. One of the most pivotal causes of cancer initiation is the presence of reactive oxygen species (ROS) inside the body. Interestingly, on the other hand, high doses of ROS possess the capability to damage malignant cells. Moreover, several important intracellular mechanisms occur during the production of ROS. For these reasons, inducing ROS inside the biological system by utilizing external physical or chemical methods is a promising approach to inhibit the growth of cancer cells. Beside conventional technologies, cold atmospheric plasmas are now receiving much attention as an emerging therapeutic tool for cancer treatment due to their unique biophysical behavior, including the ability to generate considerable amounts of ROS. This review summarizes the important mechanisms of ROS generated by chemical, physical, and plasma approaches. We also emphasize the biological effects and cancer inhibition capabilities of ROS.

Abstract
Objective To investigate the role of miR-34c in lung cancer. Methods The levels of microRNA-34c (miR-34c) expression in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) tissue and cell lines were examined by the qRT-PCR assay. High mobility group box 1 (HMGB1) expression in NSCLC was assessed by immunohistochemical analysis (IHC), qRT-PCR, and Western blot assays. The effects of miR-34c overexpression or HMGB1 knockdown on cell proliferation and apoptosis were evaluated by CCK-8 and flow cytometry analysis, respectively. Cellular reactive oxygen species (ROS) production in NSCLC cells was detected using a ROS kit. The levels of Bax, p-ERK, eIF2α, GADD153, and IRE1α expression in treated NSCLC cells were measured by Western blot assays. In addition, the interaction between miR-34c and HMGB1 was verified by the dual-luciferase reporter assay. Results miR-34c was only slightly expressed, while HMGB1 was highly expressed in NSCLC tissues and cell lines. Overexpression of miR-34c or knockdown of HMGB1 inhibited cell proliferation, promoted cell apoptosis, and induced ER stress in NSCLC cells. In terms of mechanism, miR-34c negatively regulated HMGB1 expression by directly targeting the 3ʹ-untranslated region (UTR) of HMGB1 mRNA. In addition, we proved that HMGB1 overexpression could block the effects of miR-34c on NSCLC cell proliferation, apoptosis, and ER stress. Conclusion miR-34c may suppress NSCLC tumors by targeting HMGB1 mRNA, promoting endoplasmic reticulum stress, and increasing ROS levels. Our findings suggest that miR-34c has a role in NSCLC.

Abstract
Background Multi-drug resistance is the major cause of chemotherapy failure in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). YAP, a critical effector of the Hippo pathway, has been shown to contribute to the progression, metastasis and invasion of cancers. However, the potential role of YAP in mediating drug resistance remains obscure. Methods RT-qPCR and western blot were used to assess YAP expression in HCC cell lines. CCK-8 assays, flow cytometry, a xenograft tumour model, immunochemistry and GFP-mRFP-LC3 fusion proteins were utilized to evaluate the effect of YAP on multi-drug resistance, intracellular ROS production and the autophagy of HCC cells in vitro and in vivo. Autophagy inhibitor and rescue experiments were carried out to elucidate the mechanism by which YAP promotes chemoresistance in HCC cells. Results We found that BEL/FU, a typical HCC cell line with chemoresistance, exhibited overexpression of YAP. Moreover, the inhibition of YAP by shRNA or verteporfin conferred the sensitivity of BEL/FU cells to chemotherapeutic agents through autophagy-related cell death in vitro and in vivo. Mechanistically, YAP silencing significantly enhanced autophagic flux by increasing RAC1-driven ROS, which contributed to the inactivation of mTOR in HCC cells. In addition, the antagonist of autophagy reversed the enhanced effect of YAP silencing on cell death under treatment with chemotherapeutic agents. Conclusion Our findings suggested that YAP upregulation endowed HCC cells with multi-drug resistance via the RAC1-ROS-mTOR pathway, resulting in the repression of autophagy-related cell death. The blockade of YAP may serve as a promising novel therapeutic strategy for overcoming chemoresistance in HCC.

Abstract
Multifunctional nanoparticles that carry chemotherapeutic agents can be innovative anticancer therapeutic options owing to their tumor-targeting ability and high drug-loading capacity. However, the nonspecific release of toxic DNA-intercalating anticancer drugs from the nanoparticles has significant side effects on healthy cells surrounding the tumors. Herein, we report a tumor homing reactive oxygen species nanoparticle (THoR-NP) platform that is highly effective and selective for ablating malignant tumors. Sodium nitroprusside (SNP) and diethyldithiocarbamate (DDC) were selected as an exogenous reactive oxygen species (ROS) generator and a superoxide dismutase 1 inhibitor, respectively. DDC-loaded THoR-NP, in combination with SNP treatment, eliminated multiple cancer cell lines effectively by the generation of peroxynitrite in the cells (>95% cell death), as compared to control drug treatments of the same concentration of DDC or SNP alone (0% cell death). Moreover, the magnetic core (ZnFe2O4) of the THoR-NP can specifically ablate tumor cells (breast cancer cells) via magnetic hyperthermia, in conjunction with DDC, even in the absence of any exogenous RS supplements. Finally, by incorporating iRGD peptide moieties in the THoR-NP, integrin-enriched cancer cells (malignant tumors, MDA-MB-231) were effectively and selectively killed, as opposed to nonmetastatic tumors (MCF-7), as confirmed in a mouse xenograft model. Hence, our strategy of using nanoparticles embedded with ROS-scavenger-inhibitor with an exogenous ROS supplement is highly selective and effective cancer therapy.

Abstract
Cancer can be considered the result of a series of genetic variations that lead to a normal cell being transformed into a malignant one while avoiding cell death-atypical characteristics of tumor development. Although a large number of genomics and epigenetic alterations have been identified in cells undergoing apoptotic, autophagic or necrotic cell death, the treatment of cancer remains thought-provoking. Pyroptosis is differentiated from other types of programmed cell death and is mainly activated by Caspase-1. To initiate pyroptosis, cells receive specific "death" messages, produce cytokines, swell, burst, and ultimately die. The deficiency of Caspase-1 expression may lead to inflammation-mediated tumor progression. Hence, the molecular mechanisms for the Caspase-1 activation in tumor tissues are yet to be exploited extensively. This review aims to summarise the latest discoveries about pyroptosis and its new exciting role in inducing cancer cell death.

Abstract
Cisplatin-based chemotherapy regimens serve a pivotal role in human cancer treatment. Nevertheless, treatment failure may occur if the cancer is inherently resistant to cisplatin or acquires a resistant phenotype during the course of treatment. Although cisplatin resistance can hinder the efficacy of cisplatin treatment for human cancer, the underlying mechanism remains poorly understood. The current study established a cisplatin-resistant human epithelial cancer cell line. Notably, differential upregulation of NADPH oxidase 5 (NOX5) was identified in this resistant cell line. Furthermore, cisplatin treatment induced cancer cells to express NOX5 and cells that overexpressed NOX5 exhibited greater resistance to cisplatin via the activation of Akt. Treatment with curcumin may suppress NOX5 expression in cancer cells and enhance sensitivity to cisplatin treatment. In a xenograft model, a combined regimen of cisplatin with low-dose curcumin significantly reduced malignant tumor growth. These data demonstrate that curcumin has a chemosensitizing effect on cisplatin-resistant epithelial cancer types. Therefore, the use of curcumin in addition to a cisplatin-based treatment regimen may improve treatment outcomes in human patients with epithelial cancer.

Bamboo Leaf Flavonoids Extracts Alleviate Oxidative Stress in HepG2 Cells via Naturally Modulating Reactive Oxygen Species Production and Nrf2-Mediated Antioxidant Defense Responses. J Food Sci 2019; 84:1609-1620. [PMID: 31116430 DOI: 10.1111/1750-3841.14609] [Citation(s) in RCA: 38] [Impact Index Per Article: 7.6] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/28/2018] [Revised: 02/28/2019] [Accepted: 03/16/2019] [Indexed: 01/01/2023]
Abstract
In this study, bamboo leaf flavonoids extracts (BFE) were employed to alleviate oxidative stress induced by oleic acid in HepG2 cells. Biochemical indexes, intracellular reactive oxygen species production, lipid droplets accumulation, antioxidant enzymes production, and mitochondrial membrane potential were determined to show the alleviation performance of BFE intervention (P < 0.05). Importantly, the results of qRT-PCR and western blot determination indicated that BFE intervention upregulated the expression of Nrf2/HO-1/NQO1 to initiate the antioxidant defense response for counteracting oxidative stress (P < 0.05). Moreover, mitochondrial membrane potential-mediated apoptosis and FOXO signaling pathway initiation caused by BFE intervention may together contribute to oxidative stress alleviation in HepG2 cells. In conclusion, these findings suggested that BFE intervention upregulated related antioxidant defense responses for preventing cells from oxidative damage. PRACTICAL APPLICATION: In this study, bamboo leaf flavonoids extracts intervention upregulated related antioxidant defense responses for preventing cells from oxidative damage. These findings in bamboo leaf extracts antioxidants are a promising and innovative subject with practical applications to enhance the development of bamboo leaf extracts functional products in the food industry.

Abstract
The body of evidence from the past three decades demonstrates that oxidative stress can be involved in several diseases. This study aims to summarise the current state of knowledge on the association between oxidative stress and the pathogenesis of some characteristic to the biological systems diseases and aging process. This review also presents the effect of physical activity on redox homeostasis. There is strong evidence from studies for participation of reactive oxygen and nitrogen species in pathogenesis of acute and chronic diseases based on animal models and human studies. Elevated levels of pro-oxidants and various markers of the oxidative stress and cells and tissues damage linked with pathogenesis of cancer, atherosclerosis, neurodegenerative diseases hypertension, diabetes mellitus, cardiovascular disease, atherosclerosis, reproductive system diseases, and aging were reported. Evidence confirmed that inflammation contributes widely to multiple chronic diseases and is closely linked with oxidative stress. Regular moderate physical activity regulates oxidative stress enhancing cellular antioxidant defence mechanisms, whereas acute exercise not preceded by training can alter cellular redox homeostasis towards higher level of oxidative stress. Future studies are needed to clarify the multifaceted effects of reactive oxygen/nitrogen species on cells and tissues and to continue study on the biochemical roles of antioxidants and physical activity in prevention of oxidative stress-related tissue injury.

Abstract
It is well known that cancer cells are heterogeneous in nature and very distinct from their normal counterparts. Commonly these cancer cells possess different and complementary metabolic profile, microenvironment and adopting behaviors to generate more ATPs to fulfill the requirement of high energy that is further utilized in the production of proteins and other essentials required for cell survival, growth, and proliferation. These differences create many challenges in cancer treatments. On the contrary, such situations of metabolic differences between cancer and normal cells may be expected a promising strategy for treatment purpose. In this article, we focus on the molecular determinants of oncogene-specific sub-organelles such as potential metabolites of mitochondria (reactive oxygen species, apoptotic proteins, cytochrome c, caspase 9, caspase 3, etc.), endoplasmic reticulum (unfolded protein response, PKR-like ER kinase, C/EBP homologous protein, etc.), nucleus (nucleolar phosphoprotein, nuclear pore complex, nuclear localization signal), lysosome (microenvironment, etc.) and plasma membrane phospholipids, etc. that might be exploited for the targeted delivery of anti-cancer drugs for therapeutic benefits. This review will help to understand the various targets of subcellular organelles at molecular levels. In the future, this molecular level understanding may be combined with the genomic profile of cancer for the development of the molecularly guided or personalized therapeutics for complete eradication of cancer.

Effects of astragalus injection on different stages of early hepatocarcinogenesis in a two-stage hepatocarcinogenesis model using rats. J Toxicol Pathol 2019; 32:155-164.

Abstract
To clarify the suppressive effects of astragalus injection (AI) on different stages of
early hepatocarcinogenesis induced by weak promotion, SD rats initiated with a single
intraperitoneal (i.p.) injection of N-diethylnitrosamine (DEN) at 200
mg/kg body weight and promoted with 0.5% piperonyl butoxide (PBO) in diet were repeatedly
administered AI at 5 ml/kg body weight/day in the early postinitiation (EPI) or late
postinitiation (LPI) period for 2 or 8 weeks, respectively. The number and area of
glutathione S-transferase placental form (GST-P)-immunoreactive
(+) foci tended to increase in the DEN+PBO group compared with the DEN-alone
group. Among the PBO-promoted groups, number and area of GST-P+ foci did not
visibly change in the DEN+PBO+AI-EPI group compared with the DEN+PBO group. In contrast,
number and area of GST-P+ foci tended to decrease in the DEN+PBO+AI-LPI group
compared with the DEN+PBO group. Number of Ki67+ cells was increased in the
DEN+PBO group compared with the DEN-alone group and was decreased in both AI-administered
groups compared with the DEN+PBO group. Gene expression analysis revealed that the
DEN+PBO+AI-LPI group showed increased transcript levels of Ccne1,
Cdkn1b, Rb1, Bax,
Bcl2, Casp3, and Casp9 compared with
the DEN+PBO group; however, the DEN+PBO+AI-EPI group did not show changes in the
transcript levels of any genes examined compared with the DEN+PBO. These results suggest
that AI administration during the LPI period caused weak suppression of
hepatocarcinogenesis under weak promotion with a low PBO dose by the mechanism involving
facilitation of cell cycle suppression causing G1/S arrest and apoptosis via the
mitochondrial pathway. In addition, the results suggest that AI administration during the
EPI period has no effect on weakly promoted hepatocarcinogenesis.

Abstract
Field cancerization and metastasis are the leading causes for cancer recurrence and mortality in cancer patients. The formation of primary, secondary tumors or metastasis is greatly influenced by multifaceted tumor-stroma interactions, in which stromal components of the tumor microenvironment (TME) can affect the behavior of the cancer cells. Many studies have identified cytokines and growth factors as cell signaling molecules that aid cell to cell communication. However, the functional contribution of reactive oxygen species (ROS), a family of volatile chemicals, as communication molecules are less understood. Cancer cells and various tumor-associated stromal cells produce and secrete a copious amount of ROS into the TME. Intracellular ROS modulate cell signaling cascades that aid in the acquisition of several hallmarks of cancers. Extracellular ROS help to propagate, amplify, and effectively create a mutagenic and oncogenic field which facilitate the formation of multifoci tumors and act as a springboard for metastatic tumor cells. In this review, we summarize our current knowledge of ROS as atypical paracrine signaling molecules for field cancerization and metastasis. Field cancerization and metastasis are often discussed separately; we offer a model that placed these events with ROS as the focal instigating agent in a broader "seed-soil" hypothesis.

Abstract
The extraordinary growth and progression of tumor require enormous nutrient and energy. Unregulated behaviors of cancer cell progressing and persistently change of tumor microenvironment (TME) which acts as the soil for cancer growth and metastasis are the ubiquitous features. The tumor microenvironment exhibits some unique features which differ with the normal tissues. While the nanoparticles get through the blood vessel leakage, they encounter immediately and interact directly with these microenvironment factors. These factors may inhibit the diffusion of nanoparticles from penetrating through the tumor, or induce the dissociation of nanoparticles. Different nanoparticles encountered with different intratumoral microenvironment factors end up in different way. Therefore, in this review, we first briefly introduced the formations, distributions, features of some intratumoral microenvironment, and their effects on the tumor progression. They include extracellular matrix (ECM), matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs), acidic/hypoxia environment, redox environment, and tumor associated macrophages (TAMs). We then exemplified how these factors interact with nanoparticles and emphasized the potentials and challenges of nanoparticle-based strategies facing in enhancing intratumoral penetration and tumor microenvironment remodeling. We hope to give a simple understanding of the interaction between these microenvironment factors and the nanoparticles, thus, favors the designing and constructing of more ideal functional nanoparticles.

Abstract
Radical therapy takes advantage of the reactive oxygen species produced in greater quantities within tumor cells than in normal cells. Here, for the first time, we explore a TiO2 nanoparticle mediated microwave induced radical therapy (termed as Microdynamic Therapy) as a new cancer treatment method. The experiments in vitro and in vivo demonstrate that colloidal TiO2 nanoparticles could significantly suppress the growth of osteosarcomas, even under low power (5 W) microwave (MW) irradiation for 5 min. The high photocatalytic activity of TiO2 nanoparticles efficiently utilizes the microwave-induced plasmonic effect for the formation of reactive oxygen species (ROS). Furthermore, TiO2 nanoparticles exhibit a higher cytotoxicity on cancer cells (osteosarcoma UMR-106 cells) than on normal cells (mouse fibroblast L929 cells). The effectiveness of TiO2 nanoparticles for microwave induced radical therapy demonstrates that this is a new landmark approach to treating cancers.

Abstract
The resveratrol (RSV) efficacy to affect the proliferation of several cancer cell lines was initially examined. RSV showed higher potency to decrease growth of metastatic HeLa and MDA-MB-231 (IC50 = 200-250 μM) cells than of low metastatic MCF-7, SiHa and A549 (IC50 = 400-500 μM) and non-cancer HUVEC and 3T3 (IC50≥600 μM) cells after 48 h exposure. In order to elucidate the biochemical mechanisms underlying RSV anti-cancer effects, the energy metabolic pathways and the oxidative stress metabolism were analyzed in HeLa cells as metastatic-type cell model. RSV (200 μM/48 h) significantly decreased both glycolysis and oxidative phosphorylation (OxPhos) protein contents (30-90%) and fluxes (40-70%) vs. non-treated cells. RSV (100 μM/1-5 min) also decreased at a greater extent OxPhos flux (net ADP-stimulated respiration) of isolated tumor mitochondria (> 50%) than of non-tumor mitochondria (< 50%), particularly with succinate as oxidizable substrate. In addition, RSV promoted an excessive cellular ROS (2-3 times) production corresponding with a significant decrement in the SOD activity (but not in its content) and GSH levels; whereas the catalase, glutahione reductase, glutathione peroxidase and glutathione-S-transferase activities (but not their contents) remained unchanged. RSV (200 μM/48 h) also induced cellular death although not by apoptosis but rather by promoting a strong mitophagy activation (65%). In conclusion, RSV impaired OxPhos by inducing mitophagy and ROS over-production, which in turn halted metastatic HeLa cancer cell growth.

Abstract
AIM Curcumin induces cytotoxic cell death in several human cancer cells. Here, we have investigated the effects of curcumin on non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) with an aim to identify underlying mechanisms of its cytotoxic effect. MATERIALS & METHODS The effects of various concentrations of curcumin on the NSCLC cell lines A549 and SPC-A1 were evaluated by MTT assay, colony-forming assay and flow cytometry. Additionally, protein expression associated with different signaling pathways was assessed using western blotting. RESULTS Curcumin exhibited cytotoxicity against NSCLC, evident from the inhibition of cell proliferation, G2/M arrest, DNA damage, endoplasmic reticulum stress and mitochondrial apoptosis. The anticancer effect was related to reactive oxygen species (ROS) accumulation and could be reversed by ROS scavengers, catalase and N-acetyl-l-cysteine. Curcumin decreased mitochondrial transmembrane potential and induced ROS production, thereby activating the DNA damage/repair pathway and mitochondrial apoptosis. CONCLUSION These results indicate that curcumin could be an effective therapeutic candidate for NSCLC.

Abstract
Oxidative stress could cause damage to lipids, proteins and DNA, which is induced by the imbalance between the production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and the biological system ability to counteract or detoxify their harmful effects. The oxidative stress damage significantly contributes to a number of diseases. Magnesium (Mg) is endowed with a novel function of removing excess ROS by releasing H2 during the degradation. In this study, in order to explore the property of anti-oxidative damage of Mg metal, rat bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) oxidative damaged by ultraviolet (UV) radiation was employed to co-culture with Mg metal. The effect of Mg metal on the response of antioxidant enzymes and mitochondria in MSCs was studied. We found that Mg metal could reduce the cellular oxidative stress damage and elevate the activities of antioxidant enzymes to maintain redox homeostasis. In addition, Mg metal could reduce the risk of UV-induced cell apoptosis by increasing the ratio of Bcl-2/Bax, elevating the mitochondrial membrane potential and blocking the release of cytochrome c. This finding showed Mg metal might have the potential for treating diseases caused by oxidative stress damage. © 2019 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Biomed Mater Res Part A: 107A: 1253-1263, 2019.

Abstract
Oxidative stress is recognized as a cancer-initiating stress response in the digestive system. It is produced through mitochondrial respiration and induces DNA damage, resulting in cancer cell transformation. However, recent findings indicate that oxidative stress is also a necessary anticancer response for destroying cancer cells. The oxidative stress response has also been reported to be an important step in increasing the anticancer response of newly developed molecular targeted agents. Oxidative stress might therefore be a cancer-initiating response that should be downregulated in the precancerous stage in patients at risk of cancer but an anticancer cell response that should not be downregulated in the postcancerous stage when cancer cells are still present. Many commercial antioxidant agents are marketed as “cancer-eliminating agents” or as products to improve one’s health, so cancer patients often take these antioxidant agents. However, care should be taken to avoid harming the anticancerous oxidative stress response. In this review, we will highlight the paradoxical effects of oxidative stress and antioxidant agents in the digestive system before and after carcinogenesis.

Abstract
In recent years, various studies have confirmed the role of natural products as effective cancer prevention and treatment drugs. The present study demonstrated that chitosan oligosaccharide (COS) from shells of shrimp and crab caused an inhibitory effect on the proliferation of human renal carcinoma in vitro and in vivo. First, the in vivo biodistribution of COS was investigated by the synthesis of cyanine-7-labeled COS (COS-Cy7) following tail vein injection. The kidney was found to be a major target organ. Then, the impacts on renal carcinoma cell proliferation, apoptosis, and reactive oxygen species (ROS) production were observed in vitro, and an orthotopic xenograft tumor model was designed to evaluate the antitumor efficacy of COS in vivo. In renal carcinoma cells, COS induced G2/M phase arrest and apoptosis in a ROS-dependent fashion. COS significantly promoted mRNA expression of nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor (Nrf2) and Nrf2 target genes, such as heme oxygenase 1, modifier subunit of glutamate cysteine ligase, and solute carrier family 7 member 11. Additionally, COS significantly upregulated the protein expression of glucose-regulated protein 78, protein RNA-like endoplasmic reticulum (ER) kinase, eukaryotic initiation factor 2α, activating transcription factor 4, C/EBP homologous protein, and cytochrome c, which justified the activation of the ER stress signaling pathway. In vivo, COS repressed tumor growth and induced apoptosis and ROS accumulation, consistent with the in vitro results. Taken together, COS repressed human renal carcinoma growth and induced apoptosis both in vitro and in vivo, mainly via ROS-dependent ER stress pathways.

Abstract
SIGNIFICANCE The overabundance of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and antioxidants in cancer cells represents a challenge for therapeutic intervention, while also providing an opportunity for the development of new strategies to improve clinical therapeutic outcomes. Recent Advances: Nanotechnology has advanced tremendously in recent decades and now offers many potential opportunities to leverage altered redox status to improve conventional therapies. Highly tunable nanoparticle delivery systems have shown great promise for improving the following: (i) chemotherapy via selective redox-sensitive drug release in tumor cells and limited systemic toxicity; (ii) photodynamic therapy via enhancing photoactivation and/or ROS production; and (iii) radiation therapy via enhancing ROS production. Great progress has also been made regarding novel nanoparticle-mediated therapies to enhance tumor cell death via ROS generation and angiogenic inhibition. CRITICAL ISSUES Current anticancer therapies are limited by systemic side effects and resistance. The inherent heterogeneity and hypoxic status of solid tumors impose significant barriers for even the most rationally designed nanoparticle systems. In addition, few comprehensive biodistribution and toxicity evaluations exist, and clinical efficacy remains to be established. The practicality of many nanoparticle systems is compromised by variable in vivo responses and scale-up difficulties due to complicated chemistry and prohibitive manufacturing costs. FUTURE DIRECTIONS As nanoparticle design continues to advance, improved therapeutic efficacy will likely follow. Actively targeted systems may improve distribution specificity but more positive clinical demonstrations are needed. Further investigation into systemic and intracellular distribution as well as toxicity will improve understanding of how these nanoparticle systems can be applied to improve existing therapies.

Abstract
NHERF1/EBP50 is a PDZ-scaffold protein initially identified as an organizer and modulator of transporters and channels at the apical side of epithelia via actin-binding ezrin-moesin-radixin proteins. Presently, hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is one of the most deadly cancers in the world and has no effective therapeutic strategies. In the present study, we attempted to explore the role of NHERF1 in regulating liver cancer progression. The results indicated that NHERF1 was significantly expressed in liver tumor samples compared to the corresponding adjacent normal tissues. HCC patients with low NHERF1 exhibited better survival rate. Additionally, repressing NHERF1 expression markedly down-regulated the cell proliferation. G0/G1 transition was highly induced by NHERF1 knockdown, accompanied with reduced expressions of Cyclin D1 and cyclin-dependent kinase 4 (CDK4), as well as the enhanced expression of p27, phosphatase and tensin homolog (PTEN) and p53. Moreover, NHERF1 suppression significantly induced apoptosis in liver cancer cells by promoting the activation of Caspase-3 and poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP). We also observed a remarkable increase of reactive oxygen species (ROS) production in NHERF1-knockdown cells, along with c-Jun-N-terminal kinase (JNK) phosphorylation. Importantly, suppressing ROS production abolished NHERF1 knockdown-induced JNK activation. Moreover, cell cycle-regulatory proteins meditated by NHERF1 knockdown in liver cancer cells were abrogated by the pre-treatment of ROS scavenger. Further, restraining ROS generation also diminished NHERF1 knockdown-induced apoptosis. In vivo, we also found that NHERF1 knockdown markedly reduced the tumor growth. In conclusion, the results suggested that NHERF1 played an essential role in regulating liver cancer progression, and repressing NHERF1 expression exhibited significant anticancer effects via the induction of G0/G1 phase arrest, apoptosis and ROS generation.

Abstract
Thyroid cancer results from unregulated expansion of a self-renewing tumor-initiating cell population. The regulatory pathways essential for sustaining the self-renewal of tumor-initiating cells remain largely unknown. Reactive oxygen species (ROS) play a vital role in tumor initiation and progression. In the present study, we found that the level of ROS was higher in CD133 + thyroid cancer cells than in CD133- thyroid cancer cells. The transcriptional level of ROS-generating oxidase NADPH oxidase 1 (NOX1) is high in CD133 + thyroid cancer cells. Activation of STAT3 through phosphorylation is responsible for high activation of NOX1 transcription in CD133 + thyroid cancer cells. Knock down of NOX1 obviously reduced the level of ROS and inhibited the self-renewal activity and tumorigenicity of CD133 + thyroid cancer cells. Furthermore, knock down of NOX1 reduced the activity of PI3K/Akt pathway. Overexpression of active form of Akt rescued the negative effect of NOX1 knockdown on the self-renewal capability of CD133 + thyroid cancer cells. Together, NOX1 promotes the self-renewal property of CD133 + thyroid cancer cells at least partly through activation of the Akt signaling.

Abstract
Of the many strategies for precise tumor treatment, near-infrared (NIR) light-activated "one-for-all" theranostic modality with real-time diagnosis and therapy has attracted extensive attention from researchers. Herein, a brand-new theranostic nanoplatform was established on versatile vanadium nitride (VN) nanosheets, which show significant NIR optical absorption, and resultant photothermal effect and reactive oxygen species activity under NIR excitation, thereby realizing the synergistic action of photothermal/photodynamic co-therapy. As expected, systematic in vitro and in vivo antitumor evaluations demonstrated efficient cancer cell killing and solid tumor removal without recurrence. Meanwhile, the surface modification of VN nanosheets with poly(allylamine hydrochloride) and bovine serum albumin enhanced the biocompatibility of VN and made it more suitable for in vivo delivery. Moreover, VN has been ascertained as a potential photoacoustic imaging contrast for in vivo tumor depiction. Thus, this work highlights the potential of VN nanosheets as a single-component theranostic nanoplatform.

Abstract
The Fe3O4 nanozyme, the first reported nanozyme with intrinsic peroxidase-like activity, has been successfully employed for various diagnostic applications. However, only a few studies have been reported on the therapeutic applications of the Fe3O4 nanozyme partly due to its low affinity to the substrate H2O2. Herein, we report a new strategy for improving the peroxidase-like activity and affinity of the Fe3O4 nanozyme to H2O2 to generate reactive oxygen species (ROS) for kidney tumor catalytic therapy. We showed that cobalt-doped Fe3O4 (Co@Fe3O4) nanozymes possessed stronger peroxidase activity and a 100-fold higher affinity to H2O2 than the Fe3O4 nanozymes. The lysosome localization properties of Co@Fe3O4 enable Co@Fe3O4 to catalyze the decomposition of H2O2 at ultralow doses for the generation of ROS bursts to effectively kill human renal tumor cells both in vitro and in vivo. Moreover, our study provides the first evidence that the Co@Fe3O4 nanozyme is a powerful nanozyme for the generation of ROS bursts upon the addition of H2O2 at ultralow doses, presenting a potential novel avenue for tumor nanozyme catalytic therapy. Cobalt dopant in Fe3O4 nanozymes improved their binding affinity to H2O2 and enhanced the tumor catalytic therapy efficacy.![]()

Abstract
Reactive oxygen species (ROS) are produced by mitochondria during metabolism. In physiological states, the production of ROS and their elimination by antioxidants are kept in balance. However, in pathological states, elevated levels of ROS interact with susceptible cellular target compounds including lipids, proteins, and DNA and deregulate oncogenic signaling pathways that are involved in colorectal cancer (CRC) carcinogenesis. Although antioxidant compounds have been successfully used in the treatment of CRC as prevention approaches, they have also been shown in some cases to promote disease progression. In this review, we focus on the role of ROS in gastrointestinal homeostasis, CRC progression, diagnosis, and therapy with particular emphasis on ROS-stimulated pathways.

Abstract
SIGNIFICANCE Humans are exposed daily to polyphenols in milligram-to-gram amounts through dietary consumption of fruits and vegetables. Polyphenols are also available as components of dietary supplements for improving general health. Although polyphenols are often advertised as antioxidants to explain health benefits, experimental evidence shows that their beneficial cancer preventing and controlling properties are more likely due to stimulation of pro-oxidant and proapoptotic pathways. Recent Advances: The understanding of the biological differences between cancer and normal cell, and especially the role that mitochondria play in carcinogenesis, has greatly advanced in recent years. These advances have resulted in a wealth of new information on polyphenol bioactivity in cell culture and animal models of cancer. Polyphenols appear to target oxidative phosphorylation and regulation of the mitochondrial membrane potential (MMP), glycolysis, pro-oxidant pathways, and antioxidant (adaptive) stress responses with greater selectivity in tumorigenic cells. CRITICAL ISSUES The ability of polyphenols to dissipate the MMP (Δψm) by a protonophore mechanism has been known for more than 50 years. However, researchers focus primarily on the downstream molecular effects of Δψm dissipation and mitochondrial uncoupling. We argue that the physicochemical properties of polyphenols are responsible for their anticancer properties by virtue of their protonophoric and pro-oxidant properties rather than their specific effects on downstream molecular targets. FUTURE DIRECTIONS Polyphenol-induced dissipation of Δψm is a physicochemical process that cancer cells cannot develop resistance against by gene mutation. Therefore, polyphenols should receive more attention as agents for cotherapy with cancer drugs to gain synergistic activity. Antioxid. Redox Signal.

Abstract
It has been shown previously that molecules built on benzanilide and thiobenzanilide scaffolds possess differential biological properties including selective anticancer activity. In our previous study, we examined the cytotoxic activity and mechanism of action of the thiobenzanilide derivative N,N′-(1,2-phenylene)bis3,4,5–trifluorobenzothioamide (63 T) as a potential chemotherapeutic compound in an experimental model employing A549 lung adenocarcinoma cells and CCD39Lu non-tumorigenic lung fibroblasts. Since the results suggested oxidative stress as a co-existing mechanism of the cytotoxic effect exerted by 63 T on tested cells, studies involving the analysis of reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation and markers of oxidative stress in cells incubated with 63 T were carried out. It may be concluded that the selective activity of 63 T against cancer cells shown in our experiments is caused, at least in part, by the response of the tested cells to 63 T mediated oxidative stress in both tested cell lines.

Abstract
Cisplatin (CDDP) has been extensively used for gastric cancer (GC) treatment but limited by drug resistance and severe toxicity. The chemo-sensitizers that enhance its efficiency and overcome its limitation are urgently needed. Oxymatrine (OMT), a primary active ingredient from the dry roots of Sophora favescens, has shown powerful anti-cancer property with little side-effect. In this study, we explored the chemo-sensitization of OMT to potentiate the anti-tumor effect of CDDP. GC cell lines were dealt with OMT and/or CDDP and then subjected to different experimental methods. We found that OMT could significantly potentiate the CDDP-caused BGC-823 and SGC7901 cells viability loss, and OMT acts synergistically with CDDP. The combinative treatment could arrest cell cycle in G0/G1 phase by increasing p21, p27 and decreasing cyclin D1, and induced apoptosis by ROS generation and AKT/ERK inactivation. Inhibition of ROS respectively reversed the cell death induced by OMT and/or CDDP, suggesting the pivotal roles of ROS in the process. Moreover, OMT enhanced the antitumor effects of CDDP in nude mice bearing BGC823 tumor xenografts in vivo. Taken together, this study highlights that the co-treatment with OMT and CDDP exerted synergistic antitumor effects in GC cells, and that these effects may be mediated by ROS generation and inactivation of the AKT/ERK pathways.

Abstract
Oliveria decumbens is an Iranian endemic plant used extensively in traditional medicine. Recently, some studies have been performed on biological effects of Oliveria essential oil (OEO). However, to our knowledge, the anticancer activity of OEO has not been reported. Based on our GC/MS analysis, the basic ingredients of OEO are thymol, carvacrol, p-cymene and γ-terpinene. Therefore, we used OEO and its main component, thymol, to explore their effects on cell growth inhibition and anticancer activity. Despite having a limited effect on L929 normal cells, OEO/thymol induced cytotoxicity in MDA-MB231 breast cancer monolayers (2D) and to a lesser extent in MDA-MB231 spheroids (3D). Flow cytometry, caspase-3 activity assay in treated monolayers/spheroids and also fluorescence staining and DNA fragmentation in treated monolayers demonstrated apoptotic death mode. Indeed, OEO/thymol increased the Reactive Oxygen Species (ROS) level leading to mitochondrial membrane potential (MMP, ΔΨm) loss, caspase-3 activation and DNA damage caused S-phase cell cycle arrest. Furthermore, immunoblotting studies revealed the activation of intrinsic and maybe extrinsic apoptosis pathways by OEO/thymol. Additionally, in-vitro experiments, indicated that OEO/thymol interacts with DNA via minor grooves confirmed by docking method. Altogether, our reports underlined the potential of OEO to be considered as a new candidate for cancer therapy.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Cisplatin is used as a standard chemotherapeutic agent for head and neck cancer treatment. However, some head and neck cancers have cisplatin resistance, leading to difficulty in treatment and poor prognosis. Overcoming cisplatin resistance remains an important strategy to improve prognoses for head and neck cancer patients. OBJECTIVE Elucidation of the mechanisms underlying cisplatin resistance can suggest novel targets to enhance the anticancer effects of cisplatin for treating head and neck cancers. MATERIAL AND METHODS We used a cisplatin-resistant human maxillary cancer cell line, IMC-3CR to analyse the cisplatin resistance mechanisms. Cisplatin-induced genes were analysed in IMC-3CR cells using PCR array. Among the genes with expression increased by cisplatin, we specifically examined SESN1. SESN family reportedly regenerates peroxiredoxin and suppresses oxidative DNA injury by reactive oxygen species (ROS), which can be induced by chemotherapeutic agents such as cisplatin, radiation, and hyperthermia. The function of SESN1 in cisplatin resistance and ROS generation were analysed using specific RNAi. RESULTS Results show that SESN1 was induced by cisplatin treatment in IMC-3CR cells. Suppression of SESN1 by RNAi induced apoptosis and reduced cell viability through enhancement of ROS after cisplatin treatment. Moreover, suppression of SESN1 enhanced the cell-killing effects of hyperthermia with increased ROS, but did not affect the cell-killing effects of radiation. CONCLUSIONS This study demonstrated the participation of SESN1 in cisplatin and hyperthermia resistance of human head and neck cancers. SESN1 is a novel molecular target to overcome cisplatin resistance and hyperthermia resistance and improve head and neck cancer treatment.

Abstract
A rapid decline in egg production of laying hens begins after 480 d of age. Such a rapid decrease results predominantly from the ovarian aging, accompanied by endocrine changes, decreased yolk synthesis and accumulation, and the reduction in follicles selected into the preovulatory hierarchy. In this study, hens at 90, 150, 280, and 580 d old (D90, D150, D280, and D580, respectively) were compared for yolk precursor formation in the liver to elucidate effects of aging on laying performance. The results showed that liver lipid synthesis increased remarkably in hens from D90 to D150, but decreased sharply at D580 as indicated by the changes in triglyceride (TG) levels. This result was consistent with the age-related changes of the laying performance. The levels of liver antioxidants and total antioxidant capacity decreased significantly in D580 hens and the methane dicarboxylic aldehyde in D580 hens was much higher than that at other stages. The serum 17β-estradiol level increased from D90 to D280, but decreased at D580 (P<0.05). The expression of estrogen receptor α and β mRNAs in the liver displayed similar changes to the serum 17β-estradiol in D580 hens. Expressions of the genes related to yolk precursor formation and enzymes responsible for fat acid synthesis were all decreased in D580 hens. These results indicated that decreased yolk precursor formation in the liver of the aged hens resulted from concomitant decreases of serum 17β-estradiol level, transcription levels of estrogen receptors and critical genes involved in yolk precursor synthesis, and liver antioxidant status.

Abstract
The concept of cell signaling in the context of nonenzyme-assisted protein modifications by reactive electrophilic and oxidative species, broadly known as redox signaling, is a uniquely complex topic that has been approached from numerous different and multidisciplinary angles. Our Review reflects on five aspects critical for understanding how nature harnesses these noncanonical post-translational modifications to coordinate distinct cellular activities: (1) specific players and their generation, (2) physicochemical properties, (3) mechanisms of action, (4) methods of interrogation, and (5) functional roles in health and disease. Emphasis is primarily placed on the latest progress in the field, but several aspects of classical work likely forgotten/lost are also recollected. For researchers with interests in getting into the field, our Review is anticipated to function as a primer. For the expert, we aim to stimulate thought and discussion about fundamentals of redox signaling mechanisms and nuances of specificity/selectivity and timing in this sophisticated yet fascinating arena at the crossroads of chemistry and biology.

Abstract
Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is a main cause of cancer-related mortality and its etiology is not fully understood. As prominent factors that regulate cellular homeostasis, both reactive oxygen species (ROS) and autophagy are considered to play an essential role in the liver carcinogenesis. However, the crosstalk between ROS and autophagy is not well characterized in the pathogenesis of HCC. This review summarizes the roles of autophagy in ROS-mediated hepatocarcinogenesis and discusses the role of ROS-induced autophagy in HCC cell fate decision following treatment with chemotherapeutic agents in preclinical settings, which may allow the identification of novel strategies for the treatment of HCC.

Abstract
The host immune system plays a pivotal role in the emergence of tumor cells that are refractory to multiple clinical interventions including immunotherapy, chemotherapy, and radiotherapy. Here, we examined the molecular mechanisms by which the immune system triggers cross-resistance to these interventions. By examining the biological changes in murine and tumor cells subjected to sequential rounds of in vitro or in vivo immune selection via cognate cytotoxic T lymphocytes, we found that multimodality resistance arises through a core metabolic reprogramming pathway instigated by epigenetic loss of the ATP synthase subunit ATP5H, which leads to ROS accumulation and HIF-1α stabilization under normoxia. Furthermore, this pathway confers to tumor cells a stem-like and invasive phenotype. In vivo delivery of antioxidants reverses these phenotypic changes and resensitizes tumor cells to therapy. ATP5H loss in the tumor is strongly linked to failure of therapy, disease progression, and poor survival in patients with cancer. Collectively, our results reveal a mechanism underlying immune-driven multimodality resistance to cancer therapy and demonstrate that rational targeting of mitochondrial metabolic reprogramming in tumor cells may overcome this resistance. We believe these results hold important implications for the clinical management of cancer.

Abstract
Sendai virus strain Tianjin, a novel genotype of Sendai virus, has been proven to possess potent antitumor effect on certain cancer cell types although inactivated by ultraviolet (UV). This study was carried out to investigate the in vitro anticancer properties of UV-inactivated Sendai virus strain Tianjin (UV-Tianjin) on human osteosarcoma cells and the underlying molecular mechanism. Our studies demonstrated UV-Tianjin significantly inhibited the viability of human osteosarcoma cell lines and triggered apoptosis through activation of both extrinsic and intrinsic pathways in MG-63 cells. Meanwhile, autophagy occurred in UV-Tianjin-treated cells. Blockade of autophagy with 3-methyladenine remarkably attenuated the inhibition of cell proliferation by UV-Tianjin, suggesting that UV-Tianjin-induced autophagy may be contributing to cell death. Furthermore, UV-Tianjin induced reactive oxygen species (ROS) production, which was involved in the execution of MG-63 cell apoptosis and autophagy, as evidenced by the result that treatment of N-acetyl-L-cysteine, a ROS scavenger, attenuated both apoptosis and autophagy. In addition, inhibition of apoptosis promoted autophagy, whereas suppression of autophagy attenuated apoptosis. Our results suggest that UV-Tianjin triggers apoptosis and autophagic cell death via generation of the ROS in MG-63 cells, which might provide important insights into the effectiveness of novel strategies for osteosarcoma therapy.

Abstract
Breast cancer is a highly heterogeneous disease influenced by the hormonal microenvironment and the most common malignancy in women worldwide. Some phytoestrogens and mycoestrogens have been epidemiologically linked as risk factors or protectors, however their mechanisms of action are complex and not fully understood. The aim of this study was to predict the potential of 36 natural xenoestrogens to interact with 189 breast cancer proteins using AutoDock Vina. In order to validate our protocol, an in silico docking pose and binding site determination was compared with the crystallographic structure and the power of prediction to distinguish between ligand and decoys was evaluated through a receiver operating characteristic curve (ROC) of the resultant docking affinities and in vitro data. The best affinity score was obtained for glyceollin III interacting with the sex hormone binding globulin (-11.9 Kcal/mol), a plasma steroid transport protein that regulates sex steroids bioavailability. Other natural xenoestrogens such as beta-carotene, chrysophanol 8-O-beta-d-glucopyranoside and glyceollin I, also presented good affinity for proteins related to this disease and the validation was successful. This study may help to prioritize compounds for toxicity tests or drug development from natural scaffolds, and to elucidate their mechanisms of action.
