Inflammation and cancer: interweaving microRNA, free radical, cytokine and p53 pathways
TL;DR: A general overview of the connection between inflammation, microRNAs and cancer is provided and how improved understanding of these connections may provide novel preventive, diagnostic and therapeutic strategies to reduce the health burden of cancer is highlighted.

Abstract: Chronic inflammation and infection are major causes of cancer. There are continued improvements to our understanding of the molecular connections between inflammation and cancer. Key mediators of inflammation-induced cancer include nuclear factor kappa B, reactive oxygen and nitrogen species, inflammatory cytokines, prostaglandins and specific microRNAs. The collective activity of these mediators is largely responsible for either a pro-tumorigenic or anti-tumorigenic inflammatory response through changes in cell proliferation, cell death, cellular senescence, DNA mutation rates, DNA methylation and angiogenesis. As our understanding grows, inflammatory mediators will provide opportunities to develop novel diagnostic and therapeutic strategies. In this review, we provide a general overview of the connection between inflammation, microRNAs and cancer and highlight how our improved understanding of these connections may provide novel preventive, diagnostic and therapeutic strategies to reduce the health burden of cancer.

Cellular senescence and the senescent secretory phenotype: therapeutic opportunities.
TL;DR: This work reviews the mechanisms that induce senescence and the SASP, their associations with chronic disease and frailty, therapeutic opportunities based on targeting senescent cells and the ASP, and potential paths to developing clinical interventions.
Upsides and Downsides of Reactive Oxygen Species for Cancer: The Roles of Reactive Oxygen Species in Tumorigenesis, Prevention, and Therapy
TL;DR: ROS act as a double-edged sword, similar to tumor necrosis factor-α, inflammation, and NF-κB, which provides a great challenge for researchers whose aim is to exploit ROS stress for the development of cancer therapies.

TL;DR: It is found that senescent fat progenitor cells accumulate in adipose tissue with aging and acquire a senescence-associated secretory phenotype (SASP), with increased production of proinflammatory cytokines compared with nonsenescent cells.

TL;DR: A new, bead-based flow cytometric miRNA expression profiling method is used to present a systematic expression analysis of 217 mammalian miRNAs from 334 samples, including multiple human cancers, and finds the miRNA profiles are surprisingly informative, reflecting the developmental lineage and differentiation state of the tumours.

TL;DR: It is shown here that miRNAs are present in human plasma in a remarkably stable form that is protected from endogenous RNase activity and established the measurement of tumor-derived mi RNAs in serum or plasma as an important approach for the blood-based detection of human cancer.
