Vitamin C and cancer revisited - 0 views

  • It is well known that vitamin C, or ascorbic acid, is an effective biologic antioxidant and does not act as a pro-oxidant under normal conditions (5) because it does not readily autoxidize, i.e., react with oxygen (O2) to produce reactive oxygen species, such as superoxide radicals (O2•−) or H2O2
  • However, ascorbate readily donates an electron to redox-active transition metal ions, such as cupric (Cu2+) or ferric (Fe3+) ions, reducing them to cuprous (Cu+) and ferrous (Fe2+) ions, respectively
  • Reduced transition metal ions, in contrast to ascorbic acid, readily react with O2, reducing it to superoxide radicals (Reaction 2), which in turn dismutate to form H2O2 and O2

  • The H2O2 produced this way (Reactions 1–3) seems to be key to ascorbate's antitumor effect because H2O2 causes cancer cells to undergo apoptosis, pyknosis, and necrosis
  • In contrast, normal cells are considerably less vulnerable to H2O2
  • The reason for the increased sensitivity of tumor cells to H2O2 is not clear but may be due to lower antioxidant defenses
  • In fact, a lower capacity to destroy H2O2—e.g., by catalase, peroxiredoxins, and GSH peroxidases—may cause tumor cells to grow and proliferate more rapidly than normal cells in response to low concentrations of H2O2
  • These observations, combined with the inhibitory effect on xenograft growth, provide the proof of concept that millimolar concentrations of extracellular ascorbate, achievable by i.p. injection or i.v. infusion in experimental animals and humans, respectively, exert pro-oxidant, antitumor effects in vivo.
  • They also show that the concentration of the ascorbyl radical correlates with the concentration of H2O2 in interstitial fluid, whereas no H2O2 can be detected in blood or plasma
  •  
    review of the mechanism of how extracellular AA, only obtainable from parenteral dosing, can produce H2O2 extracellularly to then be cytotoxic to cancer cells.

    Study finds that vitamin C inhibits pro-oxidant effects of artesunate at doses of 400 microM/L; Same with doxycycline. The problem here is that that translates to 5 mg/dL of vitamin C. Studies have shown that vitamin C's effect in cancer is attributable in part to its dose and the presence of metals.

  •  
    Very interesting study. They gave IV vitamin C up to 75 grams to increase tumor delivery and found there was correlation between plasma and tumor levels post resection. This correlation was to a point-saturation curve. Also, there was a reduction in VEGF and hypoxia scores.

    Very nice mouse study. They reduced hypoxia signialing, HIF-1alpha, via daily vitamin C administration. Also a very interesting point, that the vitamin C had a much longer half life within the tumor than normal tissue-up to 48 hours compared to 30 minutes in normal. So, that begs the question, what does higher dose do? In this study they also saw a reduction in angiogenesis and tumor growth.
