“Double-Edged Sword” Effect of Reactive Oxygen Species (ROS) in Tumor Development and Carcinogenesis

Abstract: Reactive oxygen species (ROS) are small reactive molecules produced by cellular metabolism and regulate various physiological and pathological functions. Many studies have shown that ROS plays an essential role in the proliferation and inhibition of tumor cells. Different concentrations of ROS can have a “double-edged sword” effect on the occurrence and development of tumors. A certain concentration of ROS can activate growth-promoting signals, enhance the proliferation and invasion of tumor cells, and cause d… Show more

“…Oxidative stress displays a "double-edged sword" effect on the occurrence and development of tumors. On the one hand, ROS can activate growth-promoting signals, enhance the proliferation and invasion of tumor cells, and cause damage to biomolecules; on the other hand, ROS can enhance antitumor signaling pathways by initiating oxidative stress-induced apoptosis and autophagy in cancer cells [8].…”

“…Carcinogenesis is a complex, multicomponent, and not fully understood process, in which oxidative metabolism plays a paradoxical role [10]. On the one hand, reactive oxygen species (ROS) are needed for cancer cell proliferation, metastasis, and chemoresistance.…”
