Oxidative Stress and Its Relationship With Adenosine Deaminase Activity in Various Stag... - 0 views

  • Reduced SOD activity might be responsible for excessive accumulation of superoxide anions leading to increased free radical mediated injury. Increased free radical production has been shown to be responsible for chromosomal damage leading to mutagenecity, cell proliferation and carcinogenesis. SOD activity showed marked improvement after mastectomy indicating the lowering of oxidative stress.
  • The increased production of reactive oxygen species causes oxidative stress leading to cell proliferation and hence increased inflammatory conditions
  • Superoxide dismutase is an important antioxidant enzyme which decomposes the harmful superoxide anions into hydrogen peroxide thus protects the body from the action of free radicals

  • Females suffering from breast cancer had significantly decreased Superoxide dismutase (SOD) and reduced glutathione (GSH) levels in comparison to normal females
  • ADA seems to be a promising marker of inflammation in breast cancer thereby suggesting that it can be used as a diagnostic tool to detect the stage of breast cancer along with cytopathological studies
  • In conclusion, our study confirmed the role of oxidative stress in the pathogenesis of breast cancer.
  • Another potent antioxidant molecule is reduced glutathione. It acts as reductant which converts hydrogen peroxide into water and reduces lipid peroxidation products into their corresponding alcohols and thus mediates protective action.
  • In the present study, significantly low SOD activity has been observed in female patients suffering from carcinoma breast both pre as well as post operative in comparison to healthy females.
  • The compromised antioxidant defence system produces the oxidative stress which in turn creates the inflammatory response shown by concomitant increased adenosine deaminase (ADA) activity in female patients.
  • Increased ADA activity in breast cancer patients has also been reported
  • We observed significantly decreased SOD activity and GSH levels in patients belonging to clinical stage 4 as compared to those having stages 1, 2 or 3 of breast cancer.
  • increased oxidative stress gives rise to inflammation which could further aggravates the disease
  • Antioxidant status was highly depressed in advanced stages of breast cancer as compared to initial stage.
  • In the present study, significantly low GSH levels were observed in female patients of carcinoma breast as compared to normal females
  • Walia et al. (1995) reported increased ADA activity in breast cancer patients as compared to age matched normal subjects.
  • These free radicals are able to cause damage to membrane, mitochondria and macromolecules including proteins, lipids and DNA and actively take part in cell proliferation. This cascade in turn generates the inflammatory response and causes the progression of the disease.
  • Experimental and epidemiological evidences implicate the involvement of oxygen derived free radical in the pathogenesis of breast cancer.
  • Breast carcinoma involves a cascade of events that are highly inflammatory.
  • Marked oxidative stress in stage 4 of breast cancer indicated advancement of the disease, hence checking oxidative stress at initial stage could be helpful for controlling the progression of the disease.
  • They concluded that ADA is a better probable parameter for detection of breast cancer
  • Adenosine deaminase enzyme (ADA) catalyzes the conversion of adenosine to inosine which finally gets converted to uric acid
  • serum ADA activity tends to increase with advancing age,
  • Prevalence of oxidative stress gives rise to inflammation.

    Study finds a reduction in SuperOxide Dismutase and Glutathione Perioxidase in advancing breast cancer.  Cancer is a high oxidative stress disease that results in inflammation, mitochondrial dysfunction and proliferation.  Adenosine Deaminase (ADA) is proposed to be another biomarker to assess tumor stage.

Implications of free radicals and antioxidant levels in carcinoma of the breast: A neve... - 0 views

  • Experimental investigations as well as clinical and epidemiological findings have provided evidence supporting the role of reactive oxygen metabolites or free radicals such as singlet oxygen O 2 - , superoxide anions (O 2 ), hydrogen peroxide (H­2 O2 ) and hydroxyl radical in the etiology of cancer.
  • Certain aldehydes such as Malonyldialdehyde (MDA), the end product of lipid peroxidation arising from free radical degeneration of polyunsaturated fatty acids can cause cross linking in lipids, proteins and nucleic acids leading to cellular damage.
  • In this study, patients with cancer exhibited higher levels of MDA, both in tissues and serum (p<0.001) compared to the control group [Table 1]. In tissue, the MDA level in stage IV was significantly higher as compared to stage I indicating increased free radical activity with increasing severity of cancer
  • ...6 more annotations...
  • From these observations, it can be concluded that MDA levels play an important role in assessing the outcome of cancer
  • SOD and CAT are considered primary antioxidant enzymes, since they are involved in direct elimination of reactive oxygen metabolites. [13-16] They also act as anti-carcinogens and inhibitors at initiation and promotion/transformation stage in carcinogenesis
  • In our study, SOD and CAT levels were found to be low in all cancer patients as compared to controls
  • Fridovich and Tayarani have demonstrated in their respective studies that the reduction in SOD activity increases the toxic effects of O2 - and this might lead to severe cellular damage.
  • Mehrotra et al. in their study also observed high levels of MDA and low levels of SOD and CAT in patients of cancer cervix which is in sync with our observations.
  • strong evidence regarding the definitive role of free radicals in breast malignancy.
  •  
    This study finds a strong correlation between advancing breast cancer, decreased catalase and SOD with increasing MDA.  The authors of this study conclude this is a key factor in carcinogenesis and not a by-product of cancer.  This flies in the face of traditional medicines fear of antioxidant therapy in cancer.

    Hmmm…."Both GPx and SOD activity was statistically lower in patients with EBV/HPV coinfection than in a single EBV or HPV infection. Analysis of GPx and SOD activity in relation to histological grading and tumor, node (TN) classification revealed that in poorly-differentiated tumors, the level of antioxidant enzymes was lower compared with well-differentiated lesions and in cases with greater tumor dimensions and lymph-node involvement, both GPx and SOD activity was decreased."
