Inactivation of Glutathione Peroxidase Activity Contributes to UV-Induced Squamous Cell Carcinoma Formation
15 May 2007
Abstract excerpt
Cutaneous squamous cell carcinomas (CSCC) are a common malignancy of keratinocytes that arise in sites of the skin exposed to excessive UV radiation. In the present study, we show that human SCC cell lines, preneoplastic solar keratoses (SK), and CSCC are associated with perturbations in glutathione peroxidase (GPX) activity and peroxide levels. Specifically, we found that two of three SKs and four of five CSCCs,...
