Functional Role of Mitochondrial DNA in Cancer Progression

Yang-Hsiang Lin et al.

Summary: Mitochondrial DNA plays a significant role as a genetic biomarker in disease, cancer, and evolution. It functions as a modulator for regulating cellular metabolism and its variations and dysregulation are associated with cancer patient survival outcomes. Additionally, nuclear-encoded genes regulate mitochondrial homeostasis by controlling the expression of mitochondria-encoded genes. The crosstalk between nuclear and mitochondrial genomes is crucial for cellular function.

Mechanistic Insight into Oxidative Stress-Triggered Signaling Pathways and Type 2 Diabetes

Anju Singh et al.

Summary: Oxidative stress is a metabolic dysfunction caused by the imbalance between reactive oxygen species production and the body's antioxidant defense system. It is closely related to the development of various noncommunicable diseases. Diabetes mellitus, especially type 2 diabetes, is significantly influenced by oxidative stress, which plays a crucial role in insulin signaling pathways.

Investigating into anti-cancer potential of lycopene: Molecular targets

Wang Jia Qi et al.

Summary: Lycopene, the main pigment of tomatoes, has the strongest antioxidant activity among carotenoids. Despite being a common phytochemical, lycopene has not received much attention in recent years. However, recent studies have shown that lycopene's anticancer effects, including inhibition of cell proliferation, cell cycle progression, apoptosis induction, cell invasion, angiogenesis, and metastasis, are significant in tumor development. The mechanisms of action of lycopene involve the regulation of various signal transduction pathways and may be associated with a decreased risk of different types of cancer.

Ascorbic Acid Suppresses House Dust Mite-Induced Expression of Interleukin-8 in Human Respiratory Epithelial Cells

An Jun Lee et al.

Summary: House dust mite (HDM) induces oxidative stress and inflammatory response by releasing chemokines, leading to IL-8 expression. Ascorbic acid reduces ROS production, inhibits MAPKs, NF-κB and AP-1 activation, and reduces IL-8 expression. Consuming ascorbic acid-rich foods may help prevent HDM-induced respiratory inflammation by suppressing oxidative stress-mediated signaling pathways.
