TLDR
Free radicals are found to be involved in both initiation and promotion of multistage carcinogenesis, and antioxidants, the free radical scavengers, are shown to be anticarcinogens.

Oxidative Stress, Inflammation, and Cancer: How Are They Linked?

TL;DR: Observations to date suggest that oxidative stress, chronic inflammation, and cancer are closely linked.
Journal ArticleDOI

Oxidative stress and gene regulation.

TL;DR: The discussion presented here provides a tabular summary of many of the redox effects on gene expression and signaling pathways that are currently known to exist, and highlights the growing number of pathways shown to be dependent on oxidation or antioxidation.
Journal ArticleDOI

Oxidative stress: from basic research to clinical application.

TL;DR: Current evidence in clinical research does not show unequivocal distinction between causal or associative relationships of pro-oxidants to the disease process.

Persistent oxidative stress in cancer

TL;DR: It is suggested that the concept of ‘persistent oxidative stress in cancer’ may open up a new research area, explaining part of the characteristic tumor biology of cancer such as activated transcription factors and proto‐oncogenes, genomic instability, chemotherapy‐resistance, invasion and metastasis.
Journal ArticleDOI

Redox regulation of transcriptional activators

TL;DR: Differential regulation of these transcriptional activators, which in turn, regulate many target/effector genes, may provide an additional mechanism by which small antioxidant molecules play protective roles in anticancer and antiaging processes.

Superoxide Dismutase AN ENZYMIC FUNCTION FOR ERYTHROCUPREIN (HEMOCUPREIN)

TL;DR: The demonstration that O2·- can reduce ferricytochrome c and tetranitromethane, and that superoxide dismutase, by competing for the superoxide radicals, can markedly inhibit these reactions, is demonstrated.

A simple method for clinical assay of superoxide dismutase.

TL;DR: The Cu,ZnSOD concentrations in serum and plasma of patients with cancer of the large intestine tended to be less and greater than these values, respectively, but not statistically significantly so.

Superoxide Radical and Superoxide Dismutases

TL;DR: O2- oxidizes the [4Fe-4S] clusters of dehydratases, such as aconitase, causing-inactivation and release of Fe(II), which may then reduce H2O2 to OH- +OH..
