Prologue: Cancer as a redox disease? Based on: Molenaar RJ, van Noorden CJ. Type 2 diabetes and cancer as redox diseases? The Lancet 2014; 384 (9946): 853.1 We have read with great interest the hypothesis postulated by James Watson that diabetes, dementias, cardiovascular disease, and some cancers are accelerated or even caused by shortages in cellular reactive oxygen species (ROS).2 Watson reasons that physical activity prevents these diseases by generating ROS, which are needed for redox potentials to correctly fold proteins in the endoplasmatic reticulum. Remarkably, physical activity can not only contribute to cancer prevention,3 but also prolong survival and delay recurrence in patients with cancer.4 Therefore, Watson’s hypothesis resonates well with cancer metabolism as a driver of malignancy. By comparison with quiescent cells, proliferating cells decrease nutrient flow through the Krebs cycle and electron transport chain in favour of aerobic glycolysis (known as the Warburg effect). For reductive biosynthetic reactions, cells are in high demand of NADPH.5 Because the electron transport chain is the major generator of ROS and NADPH is an important antioxidant,6 such metabolic rewiring might contribute to ROS shortages. This contribution might non-specifically hamper the stabilisation of tumour suppressor proteins, for example, which can further contribute to oncogenesis. Therefore, we are convinced that Watson’s insights can be elaborated more explicitly into cancer by hypothesising that the therapeutic effect of physical activity in cancer relies on the restoration of the low ROS levels caused by cancerous metabolic rewiring. Watson’s proposal to unravel the molecular basis of physical activity as therapy for diabetes could also benefit cancer research and patients with cancer.
