Potential role of organic sulfur compounds from Allium species in cancer prevention and therapy

TL;DR: It became clear from both epidemiological studies in men and experimental studies in diverse models, that the OSCs have a strong potential to prevent or to treat cancers even with selectivity against non-neoplastic cells.

Molecular mechanisms involved in tumor repopulation after radiotherapy

TL;DR: This review will attempt to summarize some of the key discoveries in molecular radiation biology that have direct relevance to radiotherapy, and focus on areas such as radiation induced tumor vasculogenesis, stem cell mobilization, and cellular repopulation.

Robust rat pulmonary radioprotection by a lipophilic Mn N-alkylpyridylporphyrin, MnTnHex-2-PyP5+ ☆

TL;DR: MnTnHex-2-PyP5+ significantly decreased radiation-induced lung histopathological and functional damage, suppressed oxidative stress directly (8-OHdG), or indirectly, affecting TGF-β1, VEGF (A) and HIF-1α pathways.
Journal ArticleDOI

Protective role of ortho-substituted Mn(III) N-alkylpyridylporphyrins against the oxidative injury induced by tert-butylhydroperoxide

TL;DR: Two ortho-substituted Mn(III) N-alkylpyridylporphyrins augmented markedly the total and reduced glutathione contents in TBHP-treated cells, highlighting the multiple mechanisms of protection of these SOD mimics.
Journal ArticleDOI

Ionizing radiation induces tumor cell lysyl oxidase secretion.

TL;DR: Results indicate a differential regulation of LOX-expression and secretion in response to IR and hypoxia, and suggest that LOX may contribute towards an IR-induced migratory phenotype in sublethally-irradiated tumor cells and tumor progression.

Role of angiogenesis in tumor growth and metastasis

TL;DR: Preclinical studies have shown that endostatin effectively inhibits tumor growth and shrinks existing tumor blood vessels and therapy with endogenous inhibitors of angiogenesis, such asendostatin and angiostatin may reverse the angiogenic switch preventing growth of tumor vasculature.
Journal ArticleDOI

Mitochondrial reactive oxygen species trigger hypoxia-induced transcription

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors tested whether mitochondria act as O2 sensors during hypoxia and whether cobalt activated transcription by increasing the generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS).
Journal ArticleDOI

Reactive oxygen species generated at mitochondrial complex III stabilize hypoxia-inducible factor-1alpha during hypoxia: a mechanism of O2 sensing.

TL;DR: Findings reveal that mitochondria-derived ROS are both required and sufficient to initiate HIF-1α stabilization during hypoxia and that catalase abolishes hypoxic response element-luciferase expression during Hypoxia.

Tumor Response to Radiotherapy Regulated by Endothelial Cell Apoptosis

TL;DR: Microvascular damage regulates tumor cell response to radiation at the clinically relevant dose range, indicating that endothelial apoptosis is a homeostatic factor regulating angiogenesis-dependent tumor growth.
Journal ArticleDOI

Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor

TL;DR: A historic account of the challenges associated with the discovery of VEGF and the early steps in elucidating the role of this molecule in the regulation of angiogenesis is provided.
