Mitochondrial Plasticity and Glucose Metabolic Alterations in Human Cancer under Oxidative Stress-From Viewpoints of Chronic Inflammation and Neutrophil Extracellular Traps (NETs)

Oxidative stress elicited by reactive oxygen species (ROS) and chronic inflammation are involved both in deterring and the generation/progression of human cancers. Exogenous ROS can injure mitochondria and induce them to generate more endogenous mitochondrial ROS to further perpetuate the deteriorat...

Description
Summary:Oxidative stress elicited by reactive oxygen species (ROS) and chronic inflammation are involved both in deterring and the generation/progression of human cancers. Exogenous ROS can injure mitochondria and induce them to generate more endogenous mitochondrial ROS to further perpetuate the deteriorating condition in the affected cells. Dysfunction of these cancer mitochondria may possibly be offset by the Warburg effect, which is characterized by amplified glycolysis and metabolic reprogramming. ROS from neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs) are an essential element for neutrophils to defend against invading pathogens or to kill cancer cells. A chronic inflammation typically includes consecutive NET activation and tissue damage, as well as tissue repair, and together with NETs, ROS would participate in both the destruction and progression of cancers. This review discusses human mitochondrial plasticity and the glucose metabolic reprogramming of cancer cells confronting oxidative stress by the means of chronic inflammation and neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs).
