Abstract
The relationship between oncological pathologies and neurodegenerative disorders is extremely complex and is a topic of concern among a growing number of researchers around the world. In recent years, convincing scientific evidence has accumulated that indicates the contribution of a number of etiological factors and pathophysiological processes to the pathogenesis of these two fundamentally different diseases, thus demonstrating an intriguing relationship between oncology and neurodegeneration. In this review, we establish the general links between three intersecting aspects of oncological pathologies and neurodegenerative disorders, i.e., oxidative stress, epigenetic dysregulation, and metabolic dysfunction, examining each process in detail to establish an unusual epidemiological relationship. We also focus on reviewing the current trends in the research and the clinical application of the most promising chemical structures and therapeutic platforms that have a modulating effect on the above processes. Thus, our comprehensive analysis of the set of molecular determinants that have obvious cross-functional pathways in the pathogenesis of oncological and neurodegenerative diseases can help in the creation of advanced diagnostic tools and in the development of innovative pharmacological strategies.

Bronchoalveolar Lavage Fluid-Isolated Biomarkers for the Diagnostic and Prognostic Assessment of Lung Cancer. Diagnostics (Basel) 2022; 12:diagnostics12122949. [PMID: 36552956 PMCID: PMC9776496 DOI: 10.3390/diagnostics12122949] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/31/2022] [Revised: 11/18/2022] [Accepted: 11/22/2022] [Indexed: 11/29/2022] Open
Abstract
Lung cancer is considered one of the most fatal malignant neoplasms because of its late detection. Detecting molecular markers in samples from routine bronchoscopy, including many liquid-based cytology procedures, such as bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF), could serve as a favorable technique to enhance the efficiency of a lung cancer diagnosis. BALF analysis is a promising approach to evaluating the tumor progression microenvironment. BALF's cellular and non-cellular components dictate the inflammatory response in a cancer-proliferating microenvironment. Furthermore, it is an essential material for detecting clinically significant predictive and prognostic biomarkers that may aid in guiding treatment choices and evaluating therapy-induced toxicities in lung cancer. In the present article, we have reviewed recent literature about the utility of BALF analysis for detecting markers in different stages of tumor cell metabolism, employing either specific biomarker assays or broader omics approaches.

Development of C60-based labeling reagents for the determination of low-molecular-weight compounds by matrix assisted laser desorption ionization mass spectrometry (II): Determination of thiols in human serum. Anal Chim Acta 2020; 1105:112-119. [PMID: 32138909 DOI: 10.1016/j.aca.2020.01.027] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/24/2019] [Revised: 01/07/2020] [Accepted: 01/13/2020] [Indexed: 02/07/2023]
Abstract
Perturbation of thiol homeostasis in biological fluids are thought to be associated with several diseases, and reliable analytical methods for the determination of low molecular weight (LMW) thiols in human plasma or serum are thus required. In this study, a matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF MS) method is described for high throughput determination of four LMW thiols (glutathione, cysteine, homocysteine and cysteinylglycine) in human serum. It is based on the use of a bromoacetyl functionalized C60 (Br-C60) as a derivatization reagent to label thiols. The Br-C60 labeling can add an 832-Da tag to thiols, which moves thiol signals to high mass region and effectively avoids the signal interference generated by the traditional MALDI matrix below 800 Da. The labeling can be completed within 5 min under microwave-assisted condition. Thereby, the Br-C60 labeling based MALDI-TOF MS analytical method can achieve high throughput analysis of LMW thiols in serum. Good linearities of the method for the thiols in human serum were obtained in the range of 0.5-500.0 μM with correlation coefficient (R) greater than 0.9960. The limit of detection is in the range of 0.07-0.18 μM for the investigated thiols in human serum with relative standard deviations of lower than 13.5% and recoveries ranging from 81.9 to 117.1%. Using the method, four thiols in microliter serum samples of breast cancer (BC) patients were determined. The result showed that the contents of the four thiols in BC serum samples significantly changed compared to the healthy control (HC).

Abstract
BACKGROUND Nasal polyposis (NP) is a chronic inflammatory disease and the waste products of this inflammation are reactive oxygen species composed of free radicals. Changes in oxidative status have already been revealed in NP. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of oxidative status to the severity of the disease and the quality of life. METHODS The study group included 24 patients with NP and 20 controls. The Turkish version of the Rhinosinusitis Disability Index, visual analog scale (VAS), polyp stage, computed tomography (CT) score, and the eosinophilic cationic protein (ECP) levels in nasal lavage (NAL) fluid were used to assess the severity of the disease. Malondialdehyde, nitric oxide (NO), and the total antioxidant status (TAS) levels in NAL fluids were measured representing the oxidative stress. RESULTS NO values were correlated with nasal congestion (p = 0.031). TAS values were correlated with nasal obstruction (p = 0.039). ECP values showed correlation with all the nasal obstruction (p = 0.003), congestion (p = 0.009), rhinorrhea (p = 0.009), and VAS scores (p = 0.039). CONCLUSION In NP, ECP levels detected in NAL fluid were significantly high and were correlated with the severity of the disease. Moreover, the severity of oxidative stress, in the forms of TAS and NO, is significantly correlated with the severity of the nasal obstruction and congestion, respectively.

Positive relationship between total antioxidant status and chemokines observed in adults. OXIDATIVE MEDICINE AND CELLULAR LONGEVITY 2014; 2014:693680. [PMID: 25254081 PMCID: PMC4164799 DOI: 10.1155/2014/693680] [Citation(s) in RCA: 7] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/10/2014] [Revised: 08/10/2014] [Accepted: 08/11/2014] [Indexed: 12/24/2022]
Abstract
Objective. Human evidence is limited regarding the interaction between oxidative stress biomarkers and chemokines, especially in a population of adults without overt clinical disease. The current study aims to examine the possible relationships of antioxidant and lipid peroxidation markers with several chemokines in adults. Methods. We assessed cross-sectional associations of total antioxidant status (TAS) and two lipid peroxidation markers malondialdehyde (MDA) and thiobarbituric acid reactive substances (TBARS) with a suite of serum chemokines, including CXCL-1 (GRO-α), CXCL-8 (IL-8), CXCL-10 (IP-10), CCL-2 (MCP-1), CCL-5 (RANTES), CCL-8 (MCP-2), CCL-11 (Eotaxin-1), and CCL-17 (TARC), among 104 Chinese adults without serious preexisting clinical conditions in Beijing before 2008 Olympics. Results. TAS showed significantly positive correlations with MCP-1 (r = 0.15751, P = 0.0014), MCP-2 (r = 0.3721, P = 0.0001), Eotaxin-1 (r = 0.39598, P < 0.0001), and TARC (r = 0.27149, P = 0.0053). The positive correlations remained unchanged after controlling for age, sex, body mass index, smoking, and alcohol drinking status. No associations were found between any of the chemokines measured in this study and MDA or TBARS. Similar patterns were observed when the analyses were limited to nonsmokers. Conclusion. Total antioxidant status is positively associated with several chemokines in this adult population.

Abstract
Low-molecular-weight biothiols such as homocysteine, cysteine, and glutathione are metabolites of the sulfur cycle and play important roles in biological processes such as the antioxidant defense network, methionine cycle, and protein synthesis. Thiol concentrations in human plasma and blood are related to diseases such as cardiovascular disease, neurodegenerative disease, and cancer. The concentrations of homocysteine, cysteine, and glutathione in plasma samples from healthy human subjects are approximately in the range of 5-15, 200-300, and 1-5 μM, respectively. Glutathione concentration in the whole blood is in the millimolar range. Measurement of biothiol levels in plasma and blood is thought to be important for understanding the physiological roles and biomarkers for certain diseases. This review summarizes the relationship of biothiols with certain disease as well as pre-analytical treatment and analytical methods for determination of biothiols in human plasma and blood by using high-performance liquid chromatography and capillary electrophoresis coupled with ultraviolet, fluorescence, or chemiluminescence detection; or mass spectrometry.

Abstract
This review summarizes clinical studies in which glutathione was measured in tumor tissue from patients with brain, breast, gastrointestinal, gynecological, head and neck and lung cancer. Glutathione tends to be elevated in breast, ovarian, head and neck, and lung cancer and lower in brain and liver tumors compared to disease-free tissue. Cervical, colorectal, gastric, and esophageal cancers show both higher and lower levels of tumor glutathione. Some studies show an inverse relationship between patient survival and tumor glutathione. Based on this survey, we recommend approaches that may improve the clinical value of glutathione as a biomarker.
