Journal ArticleDOI
Role of glutathione in cancer progression and chemoresistance.
Nicola Traverso,Roberta Ricciarelli,Mariapaola Nitti,Barbara Marengo,Anna Lisa Furfaro,Maria Adelaide Pronzato,Umberto M. Marinari,Cinzia Domenicotti +7 more
TL;DR: The present review highlights the role of GSH and related cytoprotective effects in the susceptibility to carcinogenesis and in the sensitivity of tumors to the cytotoxic effects of anticancer agents.
Journal ArticleDOI
The Nrf2/HO-1 Axis in Cancer Cell Growth and Chemoresistance
Anna Lisa Furfaro,Nicola Traverso,Cinzia Domenicotti,Sabrina Piras,Lorenzo Moretta,Umberto M. Marinari,Maria Adelaide Pronzato,Mariapaola Nitti +7 more
TL;DR: This review focuses on the Nrf2/HO-1 stress response mechanism as a promising target for anticancer treatment which is able to overcome resistance to therapies.
Journal ArticleDOI
Redox Homeostasis and Cellular Antioxidant Systems: Crucial Players in Cancer Growth and Therapy
Barbara Marengo,Mariapaola Nitti,Anna Lisa Furfaro,Renata Colla,Chiara De Ciucis,Umberto M. Marinari,Maria Adelaide Pronzato,Nicola Traverso,Cinzia Domenicotti +8 more
TL;DR: The role of redox homeostasis in cancer growth and therapy is addressed and the current literature regarding the redox regulatory systems that become upregulated in cancer and their role in promoting tumor progression and resistance to chemotherapy is examined.
Journal ArticleDOI
HO-1 Induction in Cancer Progression: A Matter of Cell Adaptation.
Mariapaola Nitti,Sabrina Piras,Umberto M. Marinari,Lorenzo Moretta,Maria Adelaide Pronzato,Anna Lisa Furfaro +5 more
TL;DR: The current literature regarding the pro-tumorigenic role of HO-1 dependent tumor progression as a promising target in anticancer strategy is summarized.
Journal ArticleDOI
