3. Production of Hydrogen Peroxide in Human Breast Cancer Cells: Comparison with Normal Human Breast Cells

4. Protein Expression /Specific Activity of Catalase in Human Breast Cancer Cells : Comparison with Normal Human Breast cells

5. Production of Superoxide and its Correlation to the Specific Activity of Catalase:

6. Silencing of Catalase Induces Growth of Human Breast Cancer Cells

7. Decrease in Protein phosphatase 2A ( PP2A) Activity upon Silencing of Catalase: Activity of PP2A is Dependent on the Redox State of its Thiols. MDA-MB-468

8. PP2A Activity was Inhibited by H 2 O 2 but Induced by α-Tocopherol (A superoxide Quencher)

9. Catalase SuperoxideH2O2H2O2 αTocopherol PP2AReduced Growth

10. Inhibition of PP2A Activity Lead to Proliferation of Human Breast Cancer cells:

11. Overexpression of Catalase Lead to a Reduction in H 2 O 2 Levels Accompanied by a Reduction in Cell Viability

12. Overexpression of Catalase Lead to Apoptosis in Human Breast Cancer cells

13. Overexpression of Catalase did not Induce Apoptosis in Normal Human Breast Cells

14. Human Breast Cancer Tissues Exhibited Higher Catalase expression but Lower Specific Activity when Compared to Normal Breast Tissues.

Nutrition intervention trials in Linxian, China: supplementation with specific vitamin/mineral combinations, cancer incidence, and disease-specific mortality in the general population. The findings indicate that vitamin and mineral supplementation of the diet of Linxian adults, particularly with the combination of beta carotene, vitamin E, and selenium, may effect a reduction in cancer risk in this population.

Anti-inflammatory/antioxidant use in long-term maintenance cancer therapy: a new therapeutic approach to disease progression and recurrence. The high-activity catalase CC genotype was associated with an overall 17% reduction in risk of breast cancer compared with having at least one variant T allele (odds ratio = 0.83, 95% confidence interval: 0.69, 1.00). Vegetable and, particularly, fruit consumption contributed to the decreased risk associated with the catalase CC genotype.
