Abstract
Tobacco and alcohol are risk factors for human papillomavirus-negative head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HPV- HNSCC), which arises from the mucosal epithelium of the upper aerodigestive tract. Notably, despite the mutagenic potential of smoking, HPV- HNSCC exhibits a low mutational load directly attributed to smoking, which implies an undefined role of smoking in HPV- HNSCC. Elevated YAP (Yes-associated protein) mRNA is prevalent in HPV- HNSCC, irrespective of the YAP gene amplification status, and the mechanism behind this upregulation remains elusive. Here, we report that oxidative stress, induced by major risk factors for HPV- HNSCC such as tobacco and alcohol, promotes YAP transcription via TM4SF19 (transmembrane 4 L six family member 19). TM4SF19 modulates YAP transcription by interacting with the GABP (Guanine and adenine-binding protein) transcription factor complex. Mechanistically, oxidative stress induces TM4SF19 dimerization and topology inversion in the endoplasmic reticulum membrane, which in turn protects the GABPβ1 subunit from proteasomal degradation. Conversely, depletion of TM4SF19 impairs the survival, proliferation, and migration of HPV- HNSCC cells, highlighting the potential therapeutic relevance of targeting TM4SF19. Our findings reveal the roles of the key risk factors of HPV- HNSCC in tumor development via oxidative stress, offering implications for upcoming therapeutic approaches in HPV- HNSCC.

Abstract
Pembrolizumab has shown significant anticancer effects against various human cancers. The present study investigated the effects of pembrolizumab liposome and nano (naked) forms in treated lymphocytes from head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) patients compared to healthy individuals. The level of oxidative DNA damage induced by hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) was also investigated. A concentration of 10 µg/ml of pembrolizumab liposome was used to treat the lymphocytes in the Comet and micronucleus assays based on the preliminary dosage optimization tests. To determine the cellular pathways involved in the protective role of pembrolizumab against H2O2, several proteins involved in apoptosis (P53, P21 and Bcl-2) were assessed. Pembrolizumab significantly reduced DNA damage and decreased the number of micronuclei in lymphocytes from HNSCC patients (p < 0.01) compared with healthy individuals. The 10 µg/ml of pembrolizumab liposome significantly reduced the oxidative stress induced by H2O2 and was effective in healthy and HNSCC groups using the Comet and micronucleus assays (p < 0.001). To our knowledge, this is the first report of pembrolizumab in liposome and naked forms exhibiting a protective effect on DNA damage in the treatment of HNSCC patients.

Abstract
The cafeteria (CAF) diet, reflective of predominant Western dietary behaviors, is implicated in hastening weight gain, subsequently resulting in health complications such as obesity, diabetes, and cancer. To this end, it is vital to notice the deleterious consequences of the CAF regimen prior to the onset of complications, which is fundamental for early intervention in the context of numerous diseases. Probiotic-derived postbiotic metabolites have gained attention for their antioxidative properties, offering a potential countermeasure against oxidative stress. This research sought to discern the protective efficacy of SCD Probiotics against liver glutathione system damage arising from the CAF diet during developmental phases. Male Wistar rats, from weaning on day 21 to day 56, were categorized into four groups: a control on a conventional diet; a group on a standard diet enriched with SCD Probiotics; a mixed-diet group comprising both CAF and standard feed; and a combination diet group supplemented with SCD Probiotics. Through the application of real-time PCR, enzyme activity assessments, and quantitative metabolite analyses, our findings highlight the CAF diet's adverse influence on the liver's antioxidant defenses via shifts in gene expression. Yet, the inclusion of SCD Probiotics mostly ameliorated these harmful effects. Remarkably, the positive regulatory influence of SCD Probiotics on the liver's antioxidant system was consistently observed, independent of the CAF diet's presence.

J Nutr Health Aging 2023; 27:1100-1108. [PMID: 37997732 DOI: 10.1007/s12603-023-2009-7] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/12/2023] [Accepted: 09/15/2023] [Indexed: 11/25/2023]
Abstract
OBJECTIVES Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension (DASH) pattern has been found to aid in the reduction of obesity, oxidative stress, and chronic inflammation, which are all strongly linked to the development of head and neck cancer (HNC). Nevertheless, no epidemiological studies have investigated the association between this dietary pattern and HNC risk. This study was conducted with the purpose of bridging this gap in knowledge. DESIGN A prospective cohort study involving 98,459 American adults aged 55 years and older. SETTING AND PARTICIPANTS Data were drawn from the Prostate, Lung, Colorectal, and Ovarian (PLCO) Trial. In the present study, participants with dependable energy intake data who furnished baseline and dietary history information were identified as the study population. METHODS Diet was assessed by food frequency questionnaires and the DASH score was calculated to assess each participant's adherence to DASH eating pattern. Cox proportional hazards models were used to calculate multivariable adjusted hazard ratios (HRs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) for the occurrence of HNC. To visualize the variation in cancer risk for HNC and its subtypes across the entire spectrum of DASH scores, restricted cubic spline plots were utilized. Additionally, a series of predefined subgroup analyses were performed to identify potential effect modifiers, and several sensitivity analyses were conducted to assess the stability of the findings. RESULTS During a follow-up period of 871,879.6 person-years, 268 cases of HNC were identified, comprising 161 cases pertaining to oral cavity and pharynx cancers, as well as 96 cases of larynx cancer. In the fully adjusted model, adherence to the DASH diet was associated with a remarkable 57% reduction in the risk of HNC when comparing extreme quartiles (HR quartile 4 vs 1: 0.43; 95% CI: 0.28, 0.66; P for trend < 0.001). The restricted cubic spline plots demonstrated a linear dose-response relationship between the DASH score and the risk of HNC as well as its subtypes. Subgroup analysis revealed that the protective effect of the DASH diet against HNC was particularly pronounced in individuals with lower daily energy intake. The primary association remained robust in the sensitivity analysis. CONCLUSIONS In American middle-aged and older population, adherence to the DASH diet may help prevent HNC, particularly for individuals with lower daily energy intake.

Abstract
As oxidative stress is implicated in the pathogenesis of head and neck
squamous cell cancer (HNSCC), the functions of antioxidant enzyme systems
and DNA repair proteins are critical in the development of cancer. To
investigate the role of genetic polymorphisms of the antioxidant superoxide
dismutase 2 (SOD2) Val16Ala, glutathione peroxidase 1 (GPX1) Pro198Leu, and
the DNA repair Xeroderma Pigmentosum Group D (XPD) Lys751Gln genes under
exogenous risk factors, including smoking and alcohol consumption, in HNSCC
carcinogenesis, we conducted a case-control study on 139 unrelated cases and
265 non-cancer controls. Polymorphisms were analyzed in additive, dominant
and recessive genetic models, individually and in an interaction model.
Carriers of the T allele of SOD2 were associated with an increased risk for
HNSCC in the overall subgroups of males and smokers; similarly, the T allele
of GPX1 was associated with elevated risk in the overall and smoker
subgroup. A 12.47-fold increased risk was observed for the carriers of GPX1
TT, SOD2 CT and XPD CC genotypes for HNSCC. This is the first study
presenting the potential roles of SOD2, GPX1 and XPD polymorphisms in
interaction and under three genetic models in the development of HNSCC. The
results suggest that these polymorphisms slightly modify the risk in HNSCC
development individually but are significantly higher when they functioned
and were evaluated together.

Abstract
Background Lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), an intra-cellular enzyme present in all cells of the body, catalyses the final step of anaerobic glycolysis. This intra-cellular enzyme is released into the extra-cellular space after tissue disintegration, which is evident in oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC). However, investigations comparing Lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) levels in OSCC and healthy controls have shown conflicting findings in both serum and saliva samples. Further, Uric acid's anti-oxidant activity has been demonstrated in several diseases. Several cancers have been linked to increased uric acid levels. However, uric acid levels in oral squamous cell cancer have varied. There exists limitted research comparing serum and salivary uric acid with OSCC. Thus, the present investigation was conducted to evaluate the combined diagnostic abilities of serum and salivary LDH and uric acid in OSCC. Aim and Objective To compare and correlate LDH and uric acid levels in serum and salivary samples of OSCC patients and healthy individuals. Material and Methods LDH levels and uric acid levels were measured using an enzymatic method in serum and salivary samples of OSCC cases (n = 18) and healthy individuals (n = 18). Results This study indicated statistically significant elevated levels of LDH in serum and saliva samples of OSCC patients when compared to healthy individuals. Furthermore, serum and salivary uric acid were higher in OSCC patients than in controls. This increased levels of uric acid was significant only in serum but not in saliva samples. However, salivary uric acid was found to be co-relating with serum uric acid. In addition to this, the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve when plotted to assess combined diagnostic abilities of all the investigations to predict oscc, indicating the diagnostic ability to be 77%. Conclusion This study found an increase in uric acid levels in OSCC patients, which contradicts previous existing litratures. Salivary uric acid and LDH levels may be effective indicators for OSCC screening. However, because of the limited sample size, these findings should be viewed with caution.

Abstract
This review is a summary of the modern-day approach and recent trend in the determination of uric acid in the saliva of humans and its use in diagnosis by clinicians. Uric acid, which is the end product obtained from the breakdown of purine nucleotides, is an important biomarker associated with various conditions. Uric acid is found in various body fluids, such as serum, plasma, and urine. It can be used as an important tool for various diseases, such as gout and hyperuricemia, or conditions that are associated with increased oxidative stress. Recently, there has been an emergence of studies that have utilized uric acid concentrations measured in the saliva and studied its association with various diseases. Salivary uric acid can prove to be a noninvasive method to provide a diagnosis of serious illness. A raised uric acid level in the saliva can be associated with cancer, human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection, gout, and hypertension. A reduced level of salivary uric acid on the other hand can be a marker for Alzheimer's disease, progression of multiple sclerosis, and impairment of cognition. Online search databases, including Google Scholar, Scopus, PubMed, and Web of Science, were searched, and articles that were published before September 2021 based on salivary uric acid analysis were analyzed for this review. Uric acid is an essential biomarker that has antioxidant properties. Assessment of salivary uric acid levels was found to be essential in conditions such as cancer, metabolic syndrome, neurological conditions, psychiatric conditions, human immunodeficiency virus, and gout and in monitoring treatment of hyperuricemia. Although having importance in diagnosis and therapeutic monitoring, salivary uric acid analysis has not gained enough popularity due to limitations such as saliva collection and sample processing issues. With proper education and standardization, salivary uric acid analysis can be used as a cost-effective and noninvasive tool for getting a clue about antioxidant biomarker concentration in saliva and hence various diseases associated with oxidative stress.

Abstract
BACKGROUND We sought to determine whether DNA damage response (DDR)-related aberrations predict therapeutic benefit in cisplatin-treated head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) patients and how DDR pathways are modulated after treatment with olaparib alone or in combination with cisplatin or durvalumab. PATIENTS AND METHODS Oxidative stress, abasic sites and DDR-related parameters, including endogenous DNA damage, DNA repair mechanisms and apoptosis rates, were evaluated in HNSCC cell lines and peripheral blood mononuclear cells from 46 healthy controls (HC) and 70 HNSCC patients at baseline and following treatment with cisplatin-containing chemoradiation or nivolumab or enrolled in the OPHELIA phase II trial (NCT02882308; olaparib alone, olaparib plus cisplatin, olaparib plus durvalumab). RESULTS HNSCC patients at diagnosis exhibited deregulated DDR-related parameters and higher levels of oxidative stress and abasic sites compared with HC (all P < 0.05). Accordingly, nucleotide excision repair (NER; ERCC1, ERCC2/XPD, XPA, XPC) and base excision repair (APEX1, XRCC1) genes were downregulated in patients versus HC whereas double-strand breaks repair (MRE11A, RAD50, RAD51, XRCC2) and mismatch repair (MLH1, MSH2, MSH3) genes were overexpressed. Corresponding results were obtained in cell lines (all P < 0.001). Excellent correlations were observed between individual ex vivo and in vivo/therapeutic results, with cisplatin non-responders showing higher levels of endogenous DNA damage, augmented oxidative stress and abasic sites, increased NER capacities and reduced apoptosis than responders (all P < 0.05). Also, longer progression-free survival correlated with lower NER capacity (P = 0.037) and increased apoptosis (P = 0.029). Interestingly, treatment with olaparib-containing regimens results in the accumulation of cytotoxic DNA damage and exerts an extra antitumor effect by elevating oxidative stress (all P < 0.05). Nivolumab induced no significant changes in the DDR parameters examined. CONCLUSIONS Aberrations in DDR signals are implicated in the response to HNSCC chemotherapy and can be exploited as novel therapeutic targets, sensitive/effective non-invasive biomarkers as well as for the design of novel clinical trials.

Abstract
Cardiac microvascular damage, which is often caused by anoxia and hypoglycemia, is associated with the development of cardiac injury. DJ-1 encodes a peptidase C56 protein family related protein, is has been linked to oxidative stress in various cells such as neurons, COPD epithelial cells, and macrophages. However, the effect of DJ-1 towards oxidative stress caused by anoxia and hypoglycemia of cardiac microvascular endothelial cells (CMEC) remains unclear. In this study, we investigated the role and underlying molecular mechanism of DJ-1 in CMEC with anoxia/hypoglycemic (A/H) injury. We found that the mRNA and the protein expression of DJ-1 in CMEC with A/H injury were significantly downregulated. DJ-1 overexpression by pcDNA.3.1-DJ-1 transfection elevated cell viability while it inhibited LDH leakage, cell apoptosis, caspase-3 activity, ROS level, and MDA contents, while knockdown of DJ-1 has the opposite results. In addition, tube formation was increased in DJ-1 overexpression, while it was decreased in DJ-1 knockdown CMEC with A/H injury. In addition, our results indicated that DJ-1 can regulate glutathione (GSH) levels by modulating AKT activity in CMEC with A/H injury. The downregulation of AKT and GSH may remove the protective role of DJ-1 against A/H injury in CMEC. Taken together, this study showed that DJ-1 upregulation protected CMEC against A/H injury via the AKT/GSH signaling pathway.

Abstract
Many experimental models demonstrated that inorganic and organic selenium (Se) compounds may have an anticancer activity. However, large clinical studies failed to demonstrate that Se supplementations may prevent the outcome of cancers. Moreover, there are few randomized trials in cancer patients and there is not yet any Se compound recognized as anticancer drug. There is still a need to develop new Se compounds with new strategies. For that, it may be necessary to consider that Se compounds may have a dual role, either as anti-oxidant or as pro-oxidant. Experimental studies demonstrated that it is as pro-oxidant that Se compounds have anticancer effects, even though cancer cells have a pro-oxidant status. The oxidative status differs according to the type of cancer, the stage of the disease and to other parameters. We propose to adapt the doses of the Se compounds to markers of the oxidative stress, but also to markers of angiogenesis, which is strongly related with the oxidative status. A dual role of Se on angiogenesis has also been noted, either as pro-angiogenesis or as anti-angiogenesis. The objective for the development of new Se compounds, having a great selectivity on cancer cells, could be to try to normalize these oxidative and angiogenic markers in cancer patients, with an individual adaptation of doses.

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
One of the greatest challenges in systemic treatment of head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) is a small tumor cell population, namely, cancer stem-like cells (CSC). CSC can regenerate and maintain a heterogenic tumor by their self-renewal capacity. Their potential ability to be more resistant to and survival after chemo- and radiation therapy was also identified. Further studies have shown that reactive oxygen species (ROS) contribute to this CSC-associated resistance. In this review, we focus on the current knowledge of HNSCC-CSC, with regard to ROS as a possible and novel therapeutic approach in targeting CSC.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Gastric cancer (GC) is a malignant tumor worldwide. As primary pathway for metastasis, the lymphatic system is an important prognostic factor for GC patients. Although the metabolic changes of gastric cancer have been investigated in extensive studies, little effort focused on the metabolic profiling of lymph node metastasis (LNM)-positive or negative GC patients. OBJECTIVES We performed 1H NMR spectrum of GC tissue samples with and without LNM to identify novel potential metabolic biomarkers in the process of LNM of GC. METHODS 1H NMR-based untargeted metabolomics approach combined with multivariate statistical analyses were used to study the metabolic profiling of tissue samples from LNM-positive GC patients (n = 40), LNM-negative GC patients (n = 40) and normal controls (n = 40). RESULTS There was a clear separation between GC patients and normal controls, and 33 differential metabolites were identified in the study. Moreover, GC patients were also well-classified according to LNM-positive or negative. Totally eight distinguishing metabolites were selected in the metabolic profiling of GC patients with LNM-positive or negative, suggesting the metabolic dysfunction in the process of LNM. According to further validation and analysis, especially BCAAs metabolism (leucine, isoleucine, valine), GSH and betaine may be as potential factors of diagnose and prognosis of GC patients with or without LNM. CONCLUSION To our knowledge, this is the first metabolomics study focusing on LNM of GC. The identified distinguishing metabolites showed a promising application on clinical diagnose and therapy prediction, and understanding the mechanism underlying the carcinogenesis, invasion and metastasis of GC.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION To date, no reliable prognostic biological marker for all squamous cell carcinoma located in different subsites of the head and neck region has been identified and used in daily routine. In line with our previous studies, in which we showed a role of glutathione and associated enzymes as potential biological markers, we investigated the relationship between GPx1 and prognosis of head and neck squamous cell carcinoma. METHODS The association between GPx1 and patient and tumor related factors were investigated in 87 pretreatment biopsies from head and neck cancer patients treated by (chemo)radiation. Moreover, the influence of GPx1 expression on outcome parameters was assessed. RESULTS A significant difference was found in the T-stage between the low and high-expressing GPx1 groups. About 75% of the T3-T4 tumors were considered GPx1 low-expressing tumors, while low GPx1 expression was only seen in 25% of the T1-T2 tumors. There was also a significant difference found between the groups when looking at the different tumor sites. Local control, locoregional control, disease-free survival, and overall survival were the same in both groups. All these results indicate that GPx1 expression does not influence the radiotherapy response nor survival.
