Cancer is characterized by increased oxidative stress, an imbalance between reactive oxygen species (ROS) and antioxidants. Enhanced ROS accumulation, as a result of metabolic disturbances signaling aberrations, can promote carcinogenesis malignant progression inducing gene mutations activating pro-oncogenic signaling, providing possible rationale for targeting stress in cancer treatment. While numerous antioxidants have demonstrated therapeutic potential, their clinical efficacy remains unproven. Here, we review the for, recent advances in, pre-clinical research on antioxidant therapy cancer, including with nonenzymatic antioxidants, such NRF2 activators, vitamins, N-acetylcysteine GSH esters, or enzymatic NOX inhibitors SOD mimics.

Cancer treatment is hampered by resistance to conventional therapeutic strategies, including chemotherapy, immunotherapy, and targeted therapy. Redox homeostasis manipulation one of the most effective innovative techniques for overcoming drug resistance. Reactive oxygen species (ROS), previously considered intracellular byproducts aerobic metabolism, are now known regulate multiple signaling pathways as second messengers. cells cope with elevated amounts ROS during therapy upregulating antioxidant system, enabling tumor via a variety mechanisms. In this review, we aim shed light on redox modification that may contribute We summarized molecular mechanisms which signaling-regulated resistance, altered efflux, action targets enhanced DNA damage repair, maintained stemness, reshaped microenvironment.

Abstract Despite significant progress in clinical management, drug resistance remains a major obstacle. Recent research based on protein degradation to restrain has attracted wide attention, and several therapeutic strategies such as inhibition of proteasome with bortezomib proteolysis-targeting chimeric have been developed. Compared intervention at the transcriptional level, targeting process seems be more rapid direct strategy. Proteasomal proteolysis lysosomal are most critical quality control systems responsible for proteins or organelles. Although proteasomal inhibitors (e.g., chloroquine) achieved certain improvements some application scenarios, their routine practice is still long way off, which due lack precise capabilities inevitable side effects. In-depth studies regulatory mechanism regulators, including E3 ubiquitin ligases, deubiquitylating enzymes (DUBs), chaperones, expected provide clues developing reducing Here, we discuss underlying mechanisms regulating efflux, metabolism, DNA repair, target alteration, downstream bypass signaling, sustaining stemness, tumor microenvironment remodeling delineate functional roles resistance. We also highlight specific DUBs, discussing possible modulating cancer A systematic summary molecular basis by regulates will help facilitate development appropriate strategies.

Antioxidants play a pivotal role in neutralizing reactive oxygen species (ROS), which are known to induce oxidative stress. In the context of cancer development, cells adeptly maintain elevated levels both ROS and antioxidants through process termed "redox reprogramming". This balance optimizes proliferative influence while simultaneously reducing potential for cause damage cell. some cases, adapted antioxidant machinery can hamper efficacy treatments neoplastic diseases, representing significant facet resistance mechanisms observed therapy. this review, we outline contribution systems therapeutic resistance.
