Oxidative stress in relation to adenosine deaminase, nitric oxide, nitric oxide synthase and xanthine oxidase in oral cavity cancer
نویسندگان
چکیده
Objective. Inflammation and oxidative stress are considered as the main pathways in oral cavity carcinoma. The aim of this study was to evaluate the activity levels of adenosine deaminase (ADA), nitric oxide (NO), nitric oxide synthase (NOS), and xanthine oxidase (XO) in oral cavity carcinoma, to determine their potential roles in carcinogenesis with relation to oxidative stress. Methods. Seventeen patients with oral cavity cancer underwent surgery as the primary therapy, were consisted in the study. Resected oral cavity carcinoma tissues were compared with the adjacent tumor-free control tissues of the same patients; ADA, NO, NOS, XO activity levels were evaluated in terms of difference. Results. There is a significant increase of ADA activity in squamous cell cancer tissues, which indicates a difference between the normal and tumor tissues at enzyme levels (p<0.001). Conclusion. Elevated ADA activity might be an attempt to supress formation of the immunosupressed niche which promotes the onset of neoplasia and/or to inhibit tumor progression and metastasis.

BACKGROUND/AIM To evaluate the effects of grape seed extract (GSE) supplementation on oxidative stress and antioxidant markers in streptozotocin (STZ)-induced diabetic rats. MATERIALS AND METHODS Thirty-six male rats were divided into the following four groups: control, GSE-supplemented control, diabetic, and GSE-supplemented diabetic. Beginning on day 7 after STZ injection, the rats were adm...
متن کاملXanthine oxidase inhibition reverses endothelial dysfunction in heavy smokers.
BACKGROUND Cigarette smoking causes endothelial dysfunction, possibly through increased oxidant stress. The enzyme xanthine oxidase produces oxidative free radicals. We tested the hypothesis that xanthine oxidase contributes to endothelial dysfunction in cigarette smokers by administering the inhibitor allopurinol. METHODS AND RESULTS Fourteen cigarette smokers (31+/-4 pack years) and 14 age-...

Recurrent aphthous stomatitis (RAS) is an inflammatory condition of unknown etiology. The exact role of the leukocytes in the pathogenesis of RAS is not known. The aim of this study was to evaluate the status of the oxidative system in neutophils of RAS patients. A total of 26 patients and 22 sex and age matched healthy control subjects were analyzed by measuring intracellular oxidant/antioxida...

Hypertension may alter kidney functions negatively. Purine metabolism may be affected from constricted blood vessels and increased cardiac output, because of hypertension. Nitric oxide synthase (NOS) inhibition by N sup omega Nitro-LArginine Methyl Ester (L-NAME) produces hypertension in rats. The aim of this study was to investigate adenosine deaminase (AD) and xanthine oxidase (XO) activities...

Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), by definition is a heterogeneous, multifactorial, polygenic syndrome which results from insulin receptor dysfunction. It is an outcome of oxidative stress caused by interactions of reactive metabolites (RMs) interactions with lipids, proteins and other mechanisms of human body. Production of RMs mainly superoxide (O2(-)) has been found in a variety of predominat...
