Tumor cells generate extracellular superoxide anions and are protected against superoxide anion-mediated intercellular apoptosis-inducing signaling by the expression of membrane-associated catalase. 4-Hydroxy-2-nonenal (4-HNE), a versatile second messenger generated during lipid peroxidation, has
Luteolin and apigenin are dietary flavones and exhibit a broad spectrum of biological activities including antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, anti-cancer and neuroprotective effects. The lipid peroxidation product 4-hydroxy-2-nonenal (4-HNE) has been implicated as a causative agent in the development
OBJECTIVE
Knee osteoarthritis (OA) is increasingly prevalent in obese people, who often have high cardio-metabolic risk factors. Among the few available non-surgical approaches, nutraceuticals have gained popularity, and dietary berries have mitigated arthritis symptoms in observational and animal
Oxidative-stress-driven lipid peroxidation (LPO) is involved in the pathogenesis of several human diseases, including cancer. LPO products react with cellular proteins changing their properties, and with DNA bases to form mutagenic etheno-DNA adducts, removed from DNA mainly by the base excision
Trans-4-hydroxy-2-nonenal (HNE) is a product of lipid peroxidation. In the presence of t-butyl hydroperoxide the racemic HNE readily converts to its epoxide, 2,3-epoxy-4-hydroxynonanal (EH), as a pair of diastereomers. In this study, the potential roles of HNE and EH as tumor initiating agents were
Cardiovascular complications are major side effects of many anticancer drugs. Accumulated evidence indicates that oxidative stress in mitochondria plays an important role in cardiac injury, but how mitochondrial redox mechanisms are involved in cardiac dysfunction remains unclear. Here, we
The copper and iron status in the liver of non-tumor bearing Long-Evans Cinnamon (LEC) rats (average age 17 months) was investigated. A direct quantitation of loosely-bound copper and iron was also investigated by using a chelating agent, nitrilotriacetic acid (NTA-chelatable free copper and iron).
Chronic inflammatory processes induce oxidative and nitrative stress that trigger lipid peroxidation (LPO), whereby DNA-reactive aldehydes such as trans-4-hydroxy-2-nonenal (HNE) are generated. Miscoding etheno-modified DNA adducts including 1,N(6)-etheno-2'-deoxyadenosine (epsilondA) are formed by
Animal and epidemiological studies confirm an impact of the fatty-acid composition in the diet on cancer development. We investigated the role of supplementation of the diet of female F344-rats with sunflower, rapeseed, olive or coconut oil on the formation of the promutagenic, exocyclic
Lung cancer is one of the most frequently diagnosed cancers worldwide and is still the leading cause of cancer-related deaths. There is a considerable interest in finding diagnostic methods in the disease's earliest stages. A complementary approach to imaging techniques could be provided by exhaled
We investigated the mechanism of inhibition of cell proliferation by mixed isomers of CLA (9-cis, 11-trans CLA; 10-trans, 12-cis CLA) on human, non-tumorigenic MCF10A cells that were derived from mammary ductal epithelial cells and MCF7 cells that were derived from a well differentiation mammary
Methionine, in addition to its role in protein synthesis, participates in 3 important cellular functions: as AdoMet in transmethylation; as decarboxylated-AdoMet in aminopropylation; as homocysteine its demethylated form, in trans-sulphuration. Here we provide evidence from the literature and from
Oxidative stress is recognized to play an important role in the initiation and promotion events of carcinogenesis. Alcoholic liver disease is associated with significant oxidative stress as well as the hepatic accumulation of iron, a transition element also documented to initiate oxidative stress.
The anti-tumor effects of calorie restriction (CR) and the possible underlying mechanisms were investigated using ethylnitrosourea (ENU)-induced glioma in rats. ENU was given transplacentally at gestational day 15, and male offspring were used in this experiment. The brain from 4-, 6-, and
Chickpea has been classified as a nutraceutical food due to its phytochemical compounds, showing antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and anticancer activity. To investigate this, we evaluated the effect of cooking on the nutritional and non-nutritional composition and the in vitro and in vivo
