Oxidative stress linked with development of cancer, cardiovascular and neurological diseases: RGCB study

Thiruvananthapuram, Mar 10 (UNI) In a ground-breaking discovery, researchers at RGCB have found relation between mRNA processing to oxidative stress response, a condition that plays a major role in the pathogenesis of many ailments, such as cancer, diabetes, cardiovascular and neurodegenerative diseases, alongside aging.
Oxidative stress, particularly, in the heart, is critical in different conditions, including hypertension, heart failure, hypoxia, ischemia-reperfusion injury, atherosclerosis, and hypertrophy (excessive development of an organ or part).
The team of researchers at Rajiv Gandhi Centre for Biotechnology (RGCB), led by Dr Rakesh S. Laishram (Scientist), Dr Feba Shaji and Dr Jamshaid Ali, noted that during oxidative stress when the production of reactive oxidative species molecules exceeds cell’s ability to neutralize, production of antioxidant protein is ramped up by increasing the fidelity of RNA processing. This research is published in the prestigious Redox Biology journal.
