Abstract
Increasing evidence indicates that tomato lycopene may be an ideal candidate in protecting from cancer risk related to smoking exposure. The carotenoid shows potent redox-properties by which it decreases the reactive oxygen species (ROS) generated by smoke and modulates redox-sensitive cell targets, including protein tyrosine phosphatases, protein kinases, MAPKs and transcription factors. Moreover, it counteracts the effects of smoke on carcinogenbioactivating enzymes and on molecular pathways involved in cell proliferation, apoptosis and inflammation. Lycopene also inhibits smoke-stimulated IGF-signalling and smoke-induced DNA adducts. Some of these actions may be mediated by its oxidative metabolites and may be synergistically enhanced by the presence of other antioxidant nutrients. This review summarizes the background information about the interactions of lycopene with smoke in experimental models and presents the most current knowledge with respect to lycopene role in smoke-related diseases.
Keywords: Cigarette smoke, cytokines, in vitro studies, in vivo studies, lycopene, redox-sensitive molecular pathways, ROS, antioxidant response element, Activator protein1, cyclin-dependent kinase, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, extracellular signal-regulated kinases-1 and -2, insulin-like growth factor binding protein, mitogen-activated protein kinase, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons

Advances in Cancer Biomarkers and Potential Drug Targets: From Diagnosis to Therapy
Cancer biomarkers play a crucial role in the diagnosis, prognosis, and treatment of cancer. They provide valuable information for cancer detection, risk assessment, treatment selection, and monitoring response to therapy. With advancements in molecular biology and high-throughput technologies, there has been an increasing interest in identifying and characterizing cancer biomarkers ...read more
Novel Therapeutic Approaches to Target Drug Resistant Tumors
With the development of disciplines such as chemical biology and molecular biology, the genes or proteins closely related to tumor occurrence and development have gradually become clear. Targeted therapies targeting these genes or proteins provide more effective methods for tumor treatment. Tumor targeted drugs generally only act on specific targets ...read more
ROLE OF IMMUNE AND GENOTOXIC RESPONSE BIOMARKERS IN TUMOR MICROENVIRONMENT IN CANCER DIAGNOSIS AND TREATMENT
Biological biomarkers have been used in medical research as an indicator of a normal or abnormal process inside the body, or of a disease. Nowadays, various researchers are in process to explore and investigate the biological markers for the early assessment of cancer. DNA Damage response (DDR) pathways and immune ...read more
Targeting the battlefield between host and tumor: basic research and clinical practice on reshaping tumor immune microenvironment
Immune system protects host against malignant tumors through effector cells and molecules. Cancer development and its response to therapy are regulated by inflammation, which either promotes or suppresses cancer progression. Chronic inflammation facilitates cancer progression and treatment resistance, whereas induction of acute inflammatory reactions often lead to anti-cancer immune responses. ...read more
