Control of tumor angiogenesis and metastasis through modulation of cell redox state

Biochim Biophys Acta Rev Cancer. 2020 Apr;1873(2):188352. doi: 10.1016/j.bbcan.2020.188352. Epub 2020 Feb 5.

Abstract

Redox reactions pervade all biology. The control of cellular redox state is essential for bioenergetics and for the proper functioning of many biological functions. This review traces a timeline of findings regarding the connections between redox and cancer. There is ample evidence of the involvement of cellular redox state on the different hallmarks of cancer. Evidence of the control of tumor angiogenesis and metastasis through modulation of cell redox state is reviewed and highlighted.

Keywords: Metastasis; Redox metabolism; Redox signaling; Tumor angiogenesis.
