Oxidation, glycation and glycoxidation—The vicious cycle and lung cancer

Abstract

The combine effect of oxidative and glycative stress predisposed to glycoxidation, and their outcomes that play critical role in lung cancer have been examined in different ways. The therapeutic approaches for lung cancer are still unsatisfactory. We observe some unclear and decisive pathways which might play an important role in targeting lung cancer. The roadmap of signaling pathway includes p38 MAPK, NF-ƙB, TNF-α and AGE-RAGE binding affinity play role in the cell growth, proliferation, apoptosis inhibition and metastasis. The goal of this review is to achieve a new signaling map inside the lung cancer which is mediated by glycoxidative products mainly reactive dicarbonyls and advanced glycation end products (AGEs). Additionally, AGE-RAGE binding critically regulates the suppression and promotion of lung cancer via inhibition and activation of different signaling pathways. Hence, this review suggests the role of oxidation, glycation, and glycoxidation in lung cancer.
