Benzoyl peroxide (BzPo), a free radical generator with tumor promoting activity on mouse skin, is shown to promote neoplastic transformation of JB6 mouse epidermal cells in vitro. Repeated exposures to BzPo are required to readily detect promotion of transformation of JB6 cells. Markedly reduced net synthesis of the major epidermal ganglioside, trisialoganglioside GT1b, (GT) occurs with BzPo treatment as with other tumor promoters active in this system. Addition of ganglioside GT prevents transformation by BzPo while retinoic acid does not.

RSK2-mediated cGAS phosphorylation induces cGAS chromatin-incorporation-mediated cell transformation and cancer cell colony growth.

Article Synopsis
- cGAS is a crucial cytosolic DNA sensor involved in the innate immune response, but its role in the nucleus is not well understood.
- Research has shown that endogenous cGAS binds tightly to chromatin DNA in the nucleus, influenced by RSK2, which is important for cGAS phosphorylation.
- The study suggests that cGAS’s binding to chromatin, driven by RSK2-dependent phosphorylation, may play a significant role in chromatin remodeling, impacting cell transformation and growth in certain cancer cells.

Antioxidants exert a paradoxical influence on cancer prevention. The latest explanation for this paradox is the different target sites of antioxidants. However, it remains unclear how mitochondria-targeted antioxidants trigger specific p53-dependent pathways in malignant transformation models.

Background: Many diseases may be caused by pathogens and oxidative stress resulting from carcinogens. Earlier studies have highlighted the antimicrobial and antioxidant effects of plant essential oils (EO). It is crucial to effectively utilize agricultural waste to achieve a sustainable agricultural economy and protect the environment.

Background And Aim: Skin is one barrier protecting from environmental risk factors that can make skin cells cancerous through DNA damage and oxidative stress. The nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 (NRF2) pathway is an anti-stress defense system that can be regulated by DNA methylation and histone modification. Dietary phytochemicals have chemopreventive properties that can inhibit or delay carcinogenesis.

Six fucoidan fractions were isolated from the brown alga Alaria angusta. Structures of enzymatic hydrolysis products of the fraction 1AaF2 (Fuc:Gal ~ 1:1; 33 % of sulfates) by fucanase from Wenyingzhuangia fucanilytica were studied by chemical and instrumental (NMR spectroscopy and mass-spectrometry) methods. It was shown that 1AaF2 consisted of two structurally different fucoidans: a sulfated 1,3;1,4-α-L-fucan and an enzyme-resistant sulfated and acetylated complex fucogalactan (Fuc:Gal ~ 1:2; 19 % of sulfates) 1AaF2_HMP containing extended 1,3-linked fucose and 1,3/1,4-linked galactose fragments (up to 5 residues).
