High-Dose Vitamin C for Cancer Therapy - PMC - 0 views

  • diabetes [8], atherosclerosis [9], the common cold [10], cataracts [11], glaucoma [12], macular degeneration [13], stroke [14], heart disease [15], COVID-19 [16], and cancer.
  • 1–5% of the Vit-C inside the human cells
  • interaction between Fe(II) and H2O2 produces OH− through the Fenton reaction
  • ...35 more annotations...
  • metabolic activity, oxygen transport, and DNA synthesis
  • Iron is found in the human body in the form of haemoglobin in red blood cells and growing erythroid cells.
  • macrophages contain considerable quantities of iron
  • iron is taken up by the majority of cells in the form of a transferrin (Tf)-Fe(III) complex that binds to the cell surface receptor transferrin receptor 1 (TfR1)
  • excess iron is retained in the liver cells
  • the endosomal six transmembrane epithelial antigen of the prostate 3 (STEAP3) reduces Fe(III) (ferric ion) to Fe(II) (ferrous ion), which is subsequently transferred across the endosomal membrane by divalent metal transporter 1 (DMT1)
  • labile iron pool (LIP)
  • LIP is toxic to the cells owing to the production of massive amounts of ROS.
  • DHA is quickly converted to Vit-C within the cell, by interacting with reduced glutathione (GSH) [45,46,47]. NADPH then recycles the oxidized glutathione (glutathione disulfide (GSSG)) and converts it back into GSH
  • Fe(II) catalyzes the formation of OH• and OH− during the interaction between H2O2 and O2•− (Haber–Weiss reaction)
  • Ascorbate can efficiently reduce free iron, thus recycling the cellular Fe(II)/Fe(III) to produce more OH• from H2O2 than can be generated during the Fenton reaction, which ultimately leads to lipid, protein, and DNA oxidation
  • Vit-C-stimulated iron absorption
  • reduce cellular iron efflux
  • high-dose Vit-C may elevate cellular LIP concentrations
  • ascorbate enhanced cancer cell LIP specifically by generating H2O2
  • Vit-C produces H2O2 extracellularly, which in turn inhibits tumor cells immediately
  • tumor cells have a need for readily available Fe(II) to survive and proliferate.
  • Tf has been recognized to sequester most labile Fe(II) in vivo
  • Asc•− and H2O2 were generated in vivo upon i.v Vit-C administration of around 0.5 g/kg of body weight and that the generation was Vit-C-dose reliant
  • free irons, especially Fe(II), increase Vit-C autoxidation, leading to H2O2 production
  • iron metabolism is altered in malignancies
  • increase in the expression of various iron-intake pathways or the downregulation of iron exporter proteins and storage pathways
  • Fe(II) ion in breast cancer cells is almost double that in normal breast tissues
  • macrophages in the cancer microenvironment have been revealed to increase iron shedding
  • Advanced breast tumor patients had substantially greater Fe(II) levels in their blood than the control groups without the disease
  • increased the amount of LIP inside the cells through transferrin receptor (TfR)
  • Warburg effect, or metabolic reprogramming,
  • Warburg effect is aided by KRAS or BRAF mutations
  • Vit-C is supplied, it oxidizes to DHA, and then is readily transported by GLUT-1 in mutant cells of KRAS or BRAF competing with glucose [46]. DHA is quickly converted into ascorbate inside the cell by NADPH and GSH [46,107]. This decrease reduces the concentration of cytosolic antioxidants and raises the intracellular ROS amounts
  • increased ROS inactivates glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate dehydrogenase (GAPDH)
  • ROS activates poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP), which depletes NAD+ (a critical co-factor of GAPDH); thus, further reducing the GAPDH associated with a multifaceted metabolic rewiring
  • Hindering GAPDH can result in an “energy crisis”, due to the decrease in ATP production
  • high-dose Vit-C recruited metabolites and increased the enzymatic activity in the pentose phosphate pathway (PPP), blocked the tri-carboxylic acid (TCA) cycle, and increased oxygen uptake, disrupting the intracellular metabolic balance and resulting in irreversible cell death, due to an energy crisis
  • mega-dose Vit-C influences energy metabolism by producing tremendous amounts of H2O2
  • Due to its great volatility at neutral pH [76], bolus therapy with mega-dose DHA has only transitory effects on tumor cells, both in vitro and in vivo.

Low-Dose Chemotherapy with Insulin (Insulin Potentiation Therapy) in Combination with H... - 0 views

  • The method of insulin potentiation therapy was empirically invented in 1930 from Mexican doctor D. Perez Garsia
  • increases the permeability of cell membrane
  • influences the metabolic processes in human body with the increase of the regenerating processes
  • ...9 more annotations...
  • facilitates the transport of intra and extra cellular liquids which helps the organism to eliminate the toxic products
  • The increased number of insulin receptors on the tumor cell, in comparison to the normal one, allows the before mentioned 2 factors to act predominantly
  • Increased permeability after the insulin effect on the cellular membrane results in increased intracellular quantity of antitumor agents
  • have other endocrine effects: directly stimulates suprarenal gland to produce epinephrine and glucocorticoid hormones and stimulates ACTH secretion. These endocrine effects also have a positive influence on the regenerating processes
  • Insulin influences the intracellular metabolism of the tumor cell, which leads to increase of the number of cells in phase S, where they are with highly sensitive to specific chemotherapeutics.
  • After the first 6 IPT applications overall (groups A and B) response to treatment on PSA criteria shows partial effect and stabilization in 12 of 16 (75%) patients
  • After the 10th IPTLD application or 3 months after starting treatment, complete response, partial response, and stabilization were observed in 4 of 9 (66.6%), while in 3 of 9 (33.3%) was registered complete effect
  • the advanced stage of disease in patients treated
  • Quality of life after the second IPTLD application is significantly improved
  •  
    IPT found to be effextive in treated castrate-resistant prostate cancer.
