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.

Effects of low extracellular sodium on proliferation and invasive activity of cancer cells in vitro

TL;DR: It is demonstrated for the first time that low [Na + ] promotes cancer progression in vitro, thus suggesting that hyponatremia is not a simple bystander of disease severity in cancer.

VAOS, a novel vanadyl complexes of alginate saccharides, inducing apoptosis via activation of AKT-dependent ROS production in NSCLC.

TL;DR: The data provided a new therapeutic drug candidate for NSCLC, but presented new understanding into the pharmacological research of VAOS, as VAOS notably inhibited PTEN dephosphorylation activity, an upstream factor of AKT.

Treating MCF7 breast cancer cell with proteasome inhibitor Bortezomib restores apoptotic factors and sensitizes cell to Docetaxel

TL;DR: In this article, the role of Bortezomib in the cytotoxic effects of Docetaxel on MCF7 cells response and its correlation with Apaf-1 expression level was examined.

Oxidative Stress in Urolithiasis

TL;DR: From therapeutic point of view, nutraceutical regimens that are able to reduce oxidative stress may be clinically useful alternatives for preventing stone formation and recurrence and up-to-date research findings of oxidative stress in UL are provided.

3'-Hydroxy-4'-methoxy-β-methyl-β-nitrostyrene inhibits tumor growth through ROS generation and GSH depletion in lung cancer cells.

TL;DR: It is found that CYT‐Rx20 significantly reduced cell viability, accompanied by G2/M arrest in lung cancer cells and suppressed lung tumor growth through GSH depletion, suggesting that CYTs may have the potential to be further developed as an anticancer compound for treating lung cancer.

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.

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.

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.

Regulation of Ferroptotic Cancer Cell Death by GPX4

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.
