TLDR
How the mitochondria has a key role in regulating the interplay between redox homeostasis and metabolism within tumor cells is described, and the potential therapeutic use of agents that directly or indirectly block metabolism is discussed.Abstract:
Tumor cells harbor genetic alterations that promote a continuous and elevated production of reactive oxygen species. Whereas such oxidative stress conditions would be harmful to normal cells, they facilitate tumor growth in multiple ways by causing DNA damage and genomic instability, and ultimately, by reprogramming cancer cell metabolism. This review outlines the metabolic-dependent mechanisms that tumors engage in when faced with oxidative stress conditions that are critical for cancer progression by producing redox cofactors. In particular, we describe how the mitochondria has a key role in regulating the interplay between redox homeostasis and metabolism within tumor cells. Last, we will discuss the potential therapeutic use of agents that directly or indirectly block metabolism.read more

A Holistic View of the Biology of Pancreatic Cancer and Targeted Therapeutic Approaches to Treat the Cancer
TL;DR: The basic cellular pathways involved in pancreatic cancer, the gene mutations and their expression having effect on the pathology of the diseases along with treatment options that are available to treat the tumor are described.

Transferrin Coated d-penicillamine–Au-Cu Nanocluster PLGA Nanocomposite Reverses Hypoxia-Induced EMT and MDR of Triple-Negative Breast Cancers
TL;DR: Experimental results demonstrated efficient cellular internalization and significant innate anti-cell proliferative potential of the nanocomposites, and downregulation of EMT with concomitant alteration of STAT-3 and β-catenin signaling pathways led to reduced migration ability of the TNBC cells.

Fluorescence biomarkers of malignant melanoma detectable in urine
TL;DR: The goal was to find a link between metabolites in urine and the stage of MM, which can be a suitable alternative for an early detection of cancer or for tracking changes during and after treatment.
Journal Article
The role of autophagy in hepatic fibrosis.
TL;DR: In this article, the authors introduce the mechanism related to noncoding RNAs and some of the signaling pathways that promote or inhibit fibrosis by affecting autophagy, and list some targets related to autophagia that enable hepatic fibrosis therapy.

Understanding the Warburg Effect: The Metabolic Requirements of Cell Proliferation
TL;DR: It is proposed that the metabolism of cancer cells, and indeed all proliferating cells, is adapted to facilitate the uptake and incorporation of nutrients into the biomass needed to produce a new cell.
Journal ArticleDOI
ROS Function in Redox Signaling and Oxidative Stress
TL;DR: It is argued that redox biology, rather than oxidative stress, underlies physiological and pathological conditions.
Journal ArticleDOI
Regulation of cancer cell metabolism
TL;DR: Interest in the topic of tumour metabolism has waxed and waned over the past century, but it has become clear that many of the signalling pathways that are affected by genetic mutations and the tumour microenvironment have a profound effect on core metabolism, making this topic once again one of the most intense areas of research in cancer biology.

TL;DR: Targeted metabolomic profiling and chemoproteomics revealed that GPX4 is an essential regulator of ferroptotic cancer cell death and sensitivity profiling in 177 cancer cell lines revealed that diffuse large B cell lymphomas and renal cell carcinomas are particularly susceptible to GPx4-regulated ferroPTosis.

Reactive oxygen species (ROS) homeostasis and redox regulation in cellular signaling
TL;DR: This review focuses on the molecular mechanisms through which ROS directly interact with critical signaling molecules to initiate signaling in a broad variety of cellular processes, such as proliferation and survival, ROS homeostasis and antioxidant gene regulation, mitochondrial oxidative stress, apoptosis, and aging.
