: Elevated Reactive Oxygen Species (ROS) generated by the conventional cancer therapies and the endogenous production of ROS have been observed in various types of cancers. In contrast to the harmful effects of oxidative stress in different pathologies other than cancer, ROS can speed anti-tumorigenic signaling and cause apoptosis of tumor cells via oxidative stress as demonstrated in several studies. The primary actions of antioxidants in cells are to provide a redox balance between reduction-oxidation reactions. Antioxidants in tumor cells can scavenge excess ROS, causing resistance to ROS induced apoptosis. Various chemotherapeutic drugs, in their clinical use, have evoked drug resistance and serious side effects. Consequently, drugs having single-targets are not able to provide an effective cancer therapy. Recently, developed hybrid anticancer drugs promise great therapeutic advantages due to their capacity to overcome the limitations encountered with conventional chemotherapeutic agents. Hybrid compounds have advantages in comparison to the single cancer drugs which have usually low solubility, adverse side effects, and drug resistance. This review addresses two important treatments strategies in cancer therapy: oxidative stress induced apoptosis and hybrid anticancer drugs.

Purpose: To evaluate the molecular impact of ethanol, sodium selenite, and tert-butyl hydroperoxide (TBHP) on oxidant-antioxidant balance in HepG2 cells to establish an optimized oxidative stress model of HepG2 cells. Methods: HepG2 cells were treated with ethanol (10 - 500 mM) and sodium selenite (1 - 10 µM) for 24 and 48 h and with TBHP (50 - 200 µM) for 3 and 24 h, respectively. Biomarkers for cellular injury, ie, lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), aspartate aminotransferase (AST), alanine aminotransferase (ALT), and malondialdehyde (MDA), and for antioxidant system, i.e., superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase (CAT), and total glutathione content, were determined. Results: All treatments increased the levels of LDH, AST, ALT, and MDA but decreased SOD and CAT activities and the total glutathione content in HepG2 cells. Oxidative stress was induced by these oxidative stressors in HepG2 cells via oxidant-antioxidant imbalance, with TBHP (100 µM, 3 h) acting as a powerful oxidant based on the minimal time to induce oxidative stress. The antioxidants, ascorbic acid and gallic acid, improved oxidant-antioxidant imbalance against xenobiotic-induced oxidative stress in HepG2 cells. Conclusion: These oxidative stress models are suitable for investigating the antioxidant and/or hepatoprotective potential of chemicals, including natural compounds.

ABSTRACT During the process of tumor progression and clinical treatments, tumor cells are exposed to oxidative stress. Tumor cells are frequently resistant to such stress by producing antiapoptotic signaling, including activation of Src family kinases (SFKs), although the molecular mechanism is not clear. In an attempt to identify the SFK-binding proteins selectively phosphorylated in gastric scirrhous carcinoma, we identified an uncharacterized protein, C9orf10. Here we report that C9orf10 (designated Ossa for oxidative stress-associated Src activator) is a novel RNA-binding protein that guards cancer cells from oxidative stress-induced apoptosis by activation of SFKs. Exposure to oxidative stress such as UV irradiation induces the association of Ossa/C9orf10 with regulatory domains of SFKs, which activates these kinases and causes marked tyrosine phosphorylation of C9orf10 in turn. Tyrosine-phosphorylated Ossa recruits p85 subunits of phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3-kinase) and behaves as a scaffolding protein for PI3-kinase and SFKs, which activates the Akt-mediated antiapoptotic pathway. On the other hand, the carboxyl terminus of Ossa has a distinct function that directly binds RNAs such as insulin-like growth factor II (IGF-II) mRNA and promotes the extracellular secretion of IGF-II. Our findings indicate that Ossa is a dual-functional protein and might be a novel therapeutic target which modulates the sensitivity of tumors to oxidative stress.
