Garlic oil, onion oil and one of its constituents, dipropenyl sulfide, all increase, to diverse degrees, glutathione (GSH) peroxidase (GSH:H2O2 oxidoreductase, EC 1.11.1.9) activity in isolated epidermal cells incubated in the presence or absence of the potent tumor promoter
A condition of oxidative stress, due to perturbation of oxidant/antioxidant balance, has been suggested to play a role not only in the pathogenesis of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection, but also in the promotion of a thrombophilic condition. Because various hemostatic dysfunctions usually
Thyroid extracts were first used to treat patients with metastatic breast cancer over a century ago. Since then, a number of studies have investigated the association between thyroid disorders and breast cancer. The presence of antibodies to thyroid peroxidase (TPOab) was recently reported to be
Women with breast cancer (BC) and antithyroid peroxidase (TPO) autoantibodies (TPOAb) have a better prognosis than women lacking TPOAb. Sera from women with TPOAb displayed immunoreactivity to BC tissue by immunofluorescence that was not apparent in women without TPOAb. We hypothesize a BC/thyroid
An immunohistological investigation using anti-thyroid peroxidase (PO) and JT-95 (JT) antibodies was conducted on surgical specimens of papillary carcinoma (n = 12), follicular carcinoma (n = 8), follicular adenoma with prominent papillary structure (n = 12), follicular adenoma (n = 8) and
A growing number of studies reveal that oxidative stress is associated with viral infections or cancer development. However, there are few reports assessing the relationships between oxidative stress, viral infection, and carcinogenesis. The present study analyzed the level of total antioxidant
The lectin binding capacity of the cell surface of normal flattened exfoliated epithelial cells of the uterine cervix was investigated looking for differences between specimens from normal and cancer patients. The method used was a modified concanavalin A-horseradish peroxidase (Con A-HRP) labeling
Tumor necrosis factor (TNF) is a monokine which is involved in macrophage-mediated cytotoxicity (MMC). We have previously reported that peroxidases can activate thioglycollate-induced macrophages to the tumoricidal state in vitro. The present study was undertaken in an attempt to correlate
Indole-3-acetic acid and some derivatives are oxidized by horseradish peroxidase, forming a radical-cation that rapidly fragments (eliminating CO(2)) to form cytotoxic products. No toxicity is seen when either indole-3-acetic acid or horseradish peroxidase is incubated alone at concentrations that
A novel approach for selecting high expressing cells out of a general population that had been transfected with a construct encoding cytosolic type 4 glutathione peroxidase (GPx4) is reported. The approach is described for GPx4-null COH-BR1 breast tumor cells and is based on use of a highly specific
Docosahexaenoic acid (DHA; 22:6, n-3) is known to exert cytotoxic effects against various types of tumors via lipid peroxidation. Whereas several enzymes influence the response of cells to oxidative stress, only one enzyme, phospholipid hydroperoxide glutathione peroxidase (GPx-4), directly reduces
Ethylene diamine tetraacetic acid (EDTA) is such a powerful chelating agent that it may form stable complexes with most metal ions, which has wide applications in industry, agriculture, environment, and pharmaceutical technology. Recently, EDTA was found to enhance the photocatalytic property of
BACKGROUND
Prostate cancer is the most frequently diagnosed cancer in Western men, and more men have been diagnosed at younger ages in recent years. A high-fat Western-style diet is a known risk factor for prostate cancer and increases oxidative stress.
METHODS
We evaluated the association between
A novel peroxidase (FMBP) was extracted and purified from foxtail millet bran in our previous study and it possessed excellent anti-colon cancer activity both in vitro and in vivo. However, the active fragment of FMBP responsible for the anti-colon cancer effects remains unclear. In present, three
Cell-based ELISA (CELLISA) has been widely used in disease diagnosis due to its simplicity and low cost. Recently, peroxidase-like nanomaterials have emerged as promising systems for CELLISA applications. In this work, tobacco mosaic virus (TMV) was simultaneously tailored with peroxidase-like
