Free radicals were first described by Moses Gomberg more than a century
ago.
In 1950th, free radicals were found in biological systems.
Discovery of McCord and Fridovich who described the first protective enzyme
against free radicals called superoxide dismutase.
Complicated study due to following factors:
(i)
low stability and high reactivity resulting in low steady-state
concentrations; (ii) high diversity of reactions they can participate in;
(iii) complicated spatiotemporal distribution in cell space and
extracellularly; (iv) dependence on physiological state of the
organism, and (v) absence of technical tools for reliable evaluation of
their absolute and even relative levels.
Generation, conversion, and elimination of ROS in living systems
. Living organisms possess multilevel and complicated antioxidant system
operating either to eliminate ROS, or minimize their negative effects. There
are several approaches to classify these systems and here we will use the
mostly appreciated one based on molecular masses. According to this system,
antioxidants are placed in two groups: low molecular mass antioxidants
(usually with molecular masses below one kilodalton) and high molecular
mass antioxidants (with molecular mass higher than one or actually higher
than ten kilodaltons). The group of low molecular mass antioxidants includes
chemically different compounds usually well known to readers such as
vitamins C (ascorbic acid) and E (tocopherol), carotenoids, anthocyanins,
polyphenols, and uric acid.
one very important antioxidant glutathione (tripeptide c-glutamyl-cysteinylglycine, GSH) is synthesized by most living organisms and used to control ROS
level either via direct interaction with them, or serving as a cofactor for ROSdetoxifying enzymes
Oxidative damage is one of the main contributors to DNA mutations and
disruptions in the pro-oxidant/ antioxidant balance have been reported in
more than 200 clinical disorders, including chronic diseases like
neurodegenerative diseases, inflammatory bowel disease and cancer.
Both ROS and RNS participate in cell development, proliferation,
differentiation, oxygen sensing and adaptive immunity through reversible
oxidative modifications of macromolecules; but when present in excess, they
can cause cellular oxidative damage.

The main sources of ROS in mammalian cells are the mitochondrial electron
transport chain, NOX enzymes and H2O2 production during protein folding at
the endoplasmic reticulum.
H2O2 is a more potent oxidant with a longer life than O2 •− since it is not a
radical. H2O2 is the oxidation product of monooxygenases and oxidases and it
can be converted to H2O by catalase (CAT) or Glutathione Peroxidase (GPX).
n. A relative change in the balance between oxidants and antioxidants in favor
of oxidants is called oxidative stress. This state can lead to alterations in redox
signaling, damage to proteins, phospholipids, nucleic acids and in many cases,
to cell death.
bronchial epithelial cells in culture exposed to cigarette smoke extract have
been shown to induce mitochondrial depolarization, increased mitochondrial
ROS production and activation of mitophagy.
The GSH system is one of the main antioxidant systems in the cell,
participating in the maintenance of intracellular redox balance and the
regulation of signaling pathways by disulfide bond reduction to cysteines in
redox-regulated proteins.
ROS play different roles in lung cancer depending on the genetic background
to effectively manipulate ROS for lung cancer prevention or therapy and if
these effects can be applied to other cancer types.
Exposure of cells to UV radiation is known to directly induce DNA oxidation by
inducing the formation of 1 O2 and of 8-hydroxy-2´deoxyguanosine (8OHdG),
the main product of guanine oxidation, by activating photosensitizers such as
bilirubin which can then lead to ROS formation, by activating ROS/ RNS
producing enzymes like NOX or NOS or by inhibiting antioxidant enzyme
activity, such as CAT.
cancer preventive effects are mostly mediated by their antioxidant properties
or a combination of cancer suppressive effects, to determine if new molecules
or therapeutic options are needed for effective cancer prevention.
elevated levels of ROS in cancer cells contribute to the maintenance of protumorigenic signaling, where ROS activate pathways related to avoidance of
cell death, proliferation, angiogenesis, invasion and metastasis, as well as to
the activation of antioxidant and detoxifying systems.
The high antioxidant capacity in cancer cells has been suggested to balance
the high levels of oxidative stress and has been related to increased resistance
to oxidizing chemotherapy or radiation as well as to the activation of drug
detoxification mechanisms.
a high oxidation level has been proposed to be necessary for cancer stem cell
(CSC) maintenance in different models.
ROS induction has also been proposed to be useful for cancer therapy.
ROS have a controversial and context-dependent role in cancer, where an
antioxidant defense would be needed mostly for cancer prevention and
supporting the idea that a healthy lifestyle and a high diet intake of fruits and
vegetables to be associated with lower risks of cancer or death and
cardiovascular disease

cellular metabolism and thus of ROS production, MnSOD is very important in
protecting cells from ROS-induced oxidative damage.
Manganese superoxide dismutase, as a single superoxide radical scavenger in
mitochondria, may have a big role in preventing cells as an antioxidant and
tumor suppressor.
Structural change can result in altered ROS scavenger activity in the
mitochondria, leading to a positive association between MnSOD Val/Val
genotype and lung cancer risk.
MnSOD is a nuclear-encoded enzyme that is very highly regulated. The
expression of MnSOD can be regulated at multiple levels from transcription
and translation to posttranslational modifications.
Sequence analysis of 50 - and 30 -flanking regions of the human MnSOD gene
reveals multiple potential regulatory motifs for Sp1.
Epigenetic regulation of genes, which has attracted increasing attention in
cancer research, has made possible modifications in DNA molecules without
changing DNA sequence, resulting in alterations in gene expression.
Another known epigenetic alteration of MnSOD gene expression is mediated
by histone acetylation in cancer cells. It has been reported that high basal
expression of MnSOD in aggressive breast cancer is associated with the
hyperacetylation of H3 histone.
The molecular changes that occur after transcription include mRNA stability,
mRNA processing, and mRNA translation. These processes contribute to
efficient translation for the optimum level of protein expression. Because
human MnSOD has a typical splice junction.

Under normal physiological conditions, they participate in redox reactions and
serve as second messengers for regulatory functions.
SODs are increasingly recognized for their regulatory functions in growth,
metabolism and oxidative stress responses, which are also crucial for cancer
development and survival.
Excessive ROS oxidize macromolecules such as DNA, proteins and lipids,
causing elevated mutations, damage to cellular organelles and other
structures and, in extreme circumstances, apoptotic cell death. Such a
condition is called oxidative stress.
When ROS reach a cytotoxic level, an oxidative stress response is triggered
that, through transcription factors, upregulates antioxidant and cellular repair
genes.
SOD3 is the secreted form of SOD with expression restricted mainly to the
lung, kidney and adipose tissues to prevent oxidative tissue damage.
Based on the rate of mitochondrial respiration, SOD1 controls the level of
H2O2, which in turn sets a threshold for mitogen signalling such as receptor
tyrosine kinase (RTK) signalling to determine the rate of cell proliferation.
SOD1 is the major intracellular form of SOD, accounting for
80
% total SOD protein.
SOD1 represses respiration in the presence of glucose and oxygen to promote
glycolysis [26]. SOD1 binds to, and regulates the stability of, two casein
kinases involved in glucose-mediated respiratory repression through localized
production of H2O2 [26]. In this fashion, SOD1 engages in control of metabolic
switches between aerobic glycolysis and oxidative phosphorylation
(OXYPHOS).
SOD1 plays a key part in maintaining genomic DNA stability.
SOD1 is found to bind to the promoters and regulates a large set of genes
involved in oxidative stress, replication stress, DNA damage response, general
stress response and Cu/Fe homeostasis.
loss of SOD1 increases ROS level, which is naturally thought to cause oxidative
DNA damage and promote carcinogenesis.

Liver is the major organ for iron transport and storage, and is prone to injury
in the absence of SOD1, which could explain why only hepatocellular
carcinomas are favored.
Reduced SOD2 expression tends to be lower in early-stage tumors, suggesting
that SOD2 loss is associated with tumor initiation, which is consistent with the
general theme of reduced antioxidants being associated with increased ROS
and oxidative genomic DNA damage, and thus carcinogenesis.
Increased SOD2 expression in cancer cells sustains the flow of H2O2
originating from mitochondria, which is required for maintaining AMPactivated protein kinase (AMPK) activity, causing a metabolic switch from
mitochondrial respiration to glycolysis [50], a phenomenon commonly seen in
human cancer known as the Warburg effect.
The general consensus of several studies is that the SOD3 level is reduced in
human cancer, which has a pro-tumorigenic effect.
Overexpression of SOD3 in PDA cells results in decreased growth and
invasiveness.
cancer cells accumulate excessive ROS that can cause severe cellular damage
and induce apoptotic cell death.
To date, several compounds targeting SODs have been identified that show
promising anticancer activity in preclinical studies, demonstrating the
feasibility of this approach.
Mutations of SODs can cause cancer of the lung, colon, and lymphatic system,
as well as neurodegenerative diseases such as Parkinson’s disease and
amyotrophic lateral sclerosis.
MnSOD, the most significant enzyme in protecting against ROS in the human
body. Human MnSOD resides in the mitochondrial matrix, the location of up
to 90% of cellular ROS generation.
Chronic inflammation can lead to disease states such as atherosclerosis and
type two diabetes whereas mitochondrial degeneration leads to neurological
disorders such as cerebral palsy and Parkinson’s disease.
superoxide acting as a signaling molecule to induce cell division and
proliferation
MnSOD overexpression by vector delivery showed significant toxicity for
tumor cells and radio-protective properties for healthy cells in vitro and in
vivo in mice
Mn porphyrins are attractive because they (1) lack antigenicity; (2) are
extremely stable; (3) can penetrate subcellular membranes; (4) scavenge
other ROS such as peroxynitrite; and (5) are modifiable to optimize efficacy
for their desired approach, all while approaching the catalytic rate and
efficiency of MnSOD.
These amino acids and ligands, termed the “inner sphere” residues, form a
direct interaction with the manganese. The next layer of contacting amino
acids, called the “outer sphere” residues, are essential for efficient
dismutation.
Substrate is thought to diffuse into the active site through residues His30 and
Tyr34 where it most likely binds to the manganese ion in the position opposite

superoxide is a negatively charged substrate, MnSOD probably achieves rapid
catalysis with the aid of electrostatic guidance.
indicate that the active site with azide adducts exists in a dynamic equilibrium
between five and six coordinate states at 296 K. At 273 K, the coordination
shifts to pred.
During the active state, superoxide gains a proton from the solvent ligand to
form hydroperoxyl radical, whereas the inactive complex forms due to proton
donation from the solvent ligand to an alternative proton acceptor.
Oxidized MnSOD in the presence of excess hydrogen peroxide is known to
instigate a backwards enzymatic reaction of MnSOD, in which hydrogen
peroxide is converted to superoxide.
The MnSOD mechanism includes three categories: (1) the means of highly
efficient substrate and product diffusion; (2) the mode of superoxide binding
to the active site; and (3) the proton-shuttling mechanism for proton-assisted
electron transfer.
the best way to fight against cancer is to prevent or suppress cancer
development. Cancer is preventable as indicated by human papilloma virus
(HPV) vaccination and tamoxifen/raloxifen treatment in breast cancer
prevention.
Dietary supplement-based SOD cancer prevention provides another
opportunity for antioxidant-based cancer prevention.
SODs, providing the first defending line against superoxide radicals, have been
studied in human cancers
In human esophageal cancers, studies have shown that decreased MnSOD
levels are associated with increased incidences of esophageal
adenocarcinoma (EAC).
In a human tissue microarray analysis, MnSOD expression was higher in
malignant tissues compared with normal tissues.
H2O2 is considered as a metabolic by-product of oxidative metabolism;
however, its ability to oxidatively inactivate regulatory proteins shifts the
paradigm of H2O2 from being a simple by-product to an important oncogenic
regulator in carcinogenesis.
It has been demonstrated that metalloporphyrins with higher SOD activity
have higher CAT activity suggesting the utility of SOD mimetics in ROSmediated in vitro and in vivo models of disease.
In a chemically induced mouse skin carcinogenesis study, MnSOD expression
was suppressed in the early stage but increased at late stages of skin
carcinogenesis.
Overexpression of antioxidant enzymes has been shown to suppress
carcinogenesis both in vitro and in vivo, suggesting that the induction of
endogenous antioxidant enzymes may be a potential target for cancer
prevention.
Increasing SOD activity is a suitable strategy for cancer prevention.
It was demonstrated that deficiencies in mitochondrial respiration lead to
reduced nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NADH) accumulation resulting in
inactivation of PTEN and activation of the Akt survival pathway.

Mitochondria serve as scaffolds for a diverse array of cellular signaling
pathways, such as adenosine triphosphate (ATP) and fatty acid synthesis, ROS
generation, b-oxidation, calcium (Ca2 + ) homeostasis and apoptosis.
The presence of SODs can decrease the efficacy of anticancer drugs with a
ROS-dependent mechanism of action, such as mofarotene, adriamycin and
mitomycin C.
In targeting ROS generation, it is known that oxidative stress is associated
with mitochondrial oxidative pathways and energy homeostasis.
SOD mimetics have been shown to suppress oxidative injury and biomarkers
of cell proliferation.
