Cancer, Oxidative Stress, and Metastasis

Abstract: Reactive oxygen species (ROS) are highly reactive molecules that arise from a number of cellular sources, including oxidative metabolism in mitochondria. At low levels they can be advantageous to cells, activating signaling pathways that promote proliferation or survival. At higher levels, ROS can damage or kill cells by oxidizing proteins, lipids, and nucleic acids. It was hypothesized that antioxidants might benefit high-risk patients by reducing the rate of ROS-induced mutations and delaying cancer initiati… Show more

“…Although mtDNA has been implicated in the regulation of tumor development and progression (26, 4042), it has been challenging to dissect the precise contributions, largely because the models have been limited. Off-target effects of pharmacologic inhibitors, exposure to mutagenic agents, and challenges associated with cross-over between nuclear genomes have been raised as possible limitations for previously published studies (27, 28).…”

“…In contrast, PyMT has rapid tumor onset (~30 days) and high penetrance of metastasis (~94% of females presenting with metastasis at 3 months; ref. 26). The former develops tumors mimicking the HER2 subtype of human breast cancers, while the latter more closely mimic luminal breast cancers.…”

“…Increased production of ROS beyond capability to cope by antioxidants leads to progressive augmentation of oxidized lesions that further promote pathogenic process such as in aging [63], atherosclerosis [64], neurodegenerative diseases [18,65,66] and cancers [67][68][69][70][71].…”

“…Enzymatic antioxidants can protect from breast cancer by neutralizing the over-generated ROS [57] and hence, antioxidant enzymes (SOD, GPX and catalase) are established markers for assessing the beneficial effect of physical training on antioxidant status [58,59]. As a consequence, oxidative stress has been recently proposed as an innovative biomarker to investigate in oncology [60]. To our knowledge, the links between the level of physical activity, biological mechanisms involved in the oxidative stress, and tumor progression have never been studied in metastatic breast cancer patients.…”
