Oxygen‐free radicals, reactive oxygen species (ROS) or nitrogen (RNS), are known by their “double‐sided” nature in biological systems. The beneficial effects of ROS involve physiological roles as weapons the arsenal immune system (destroying bacteria within phagocytic cells) and role programmed cell death (apoptosis). On other hand, redox imbalance favor prooxidants results an overproduction ROS/RNS leading to oxidative stress. This can, therefore, be related oncogenic stimulation. High levels disrupt cellular processes nonspecifically attacking proteins, lipids, DNA.

Abstract Background One of the most malignant tumors in men is prostate cancer that still incurable due to its heterogenous and progressive natures. Genetic epigenetic changes play significant roles development. The RNA molecules with more than 200 nucleotides length are known as lncRNAs these factors do not encode protein. They regulate gene expression at transcriptional, post-transcriptional levels. LncRNAs vital biological functions cells pathological events, hence their undergoes dysregulation. Aim review role alterations development emphasized here. Therefore, were chosen for this purpose level interaction other signaling networks progression examined. Key scientific concepts aberrant has been well-documented rate tumor regulated via affecting STAT3, NF-κB, Wnt, PI3K/Akt PTEN, among molecular pathways. Furthermore, radio-resistance chemo-resistance features cells. Overexpression tumor-promoting such HOXD-AS1 CCAT1 can result drug resistance. Besides, induce immune evasion upregulating PD-1. Pharmacological compounds quercetin curcumin have applied targeting lncRNAs. siRNA tool reduce thereby suppressing progression.

Abstract Prostate cancer is a leading cause of death worldwide and new estimates revealed prostate as the in men 2021. Therefore, strategies are pertinent treatment this malignant disease. Macroautophagy/autophagy “self-degradation” mechanism capable facilitating turnover long-lived toxic macromolecules organelles. Recently, attention has been drawn towards role autophagy how its modulation provides effective therapy. In present review, we provide mechanistic discussion cancer. Autophagy can promote/inhibit proliferation survival cells. Besides, metastasis cells affected (via induction inhibition) by autophagy. affect response to therapy such chemotherapy radiotherapy, given close association between apoptosis. Increasing evidence demonstrated that upstream mediators AMPK, non-coding RNAs, KLF5, MTOR others regulate Anti-tumor compounds, for instance phytochemicals, dually inhibit or induce For improving therapy, nanotherapeutics chitosan nanoparticles have developed. With respect context-dependent cancer, genetic tools siRNA CRISPR-Cas9 be utilized targeting autophagic genes.
