The role of thioredoxin system in cancer: strategy for cancer therapy
2019
Purpose
Cancer, a major public health problem, exhibits significant redox alteration. Thioredoxin (Trx) system, including Trx and Trx reductase (TrxR), as well as Trx-interacting protein (TXNIP) play important roles in controlling the cellular redox balance in cancer cells. In most cancers, Trx and TrxR are usually overexpressed and TXNIP is underexpressed. In recent years, some agents targeting Trx, TrxR, and TXNIP were used to explore a therapy approach for cancer patients.
