Therefore, reviewing the ROS-linked epigenetic changes in cancer is fundamental to understanding the progression and prevention of cancer. <b><i>Recent Advances:</i></b> We review in depth the molecular mechanisms involved in ROS-mediated epigenetic changes that lead to alteration of gene expression by altering DNA, modifying histones, and remodeling chromatin and noncoding RNA. <b><i>Critical Issues:</i></b> In cancerous cells, alterations of the gene-expression regulatory elements could be generated by the virtue of imbalance in tumor microenvironment. Various oxidizing agents and mitochondrial electron transport chain are the major pathways that generate ROS. ROS plays a key role in carcinogenesis by activating pro-inflammatory signaling pathways and DNA damage. This loss of ROS-mediated epigenetic regulation of the signaling pathways may promote tumorigenesis. We address all such aspects in this review. <b><i>Future Directions:</i></b> Developments in this growing field of epigenetics are expected to contribute to further our understanding of human health and diseases such as cancer and to test the clinical applications of redox-based therapy. Recent studies of the cancer-epigenetic landscape have revealed pervasive deregulation of the epigenetic factors in cancer.

Arachidonic acid 15-lipoxygenase (ALOX15), an enzyme catalyzing the peroxidation of polyunsaturated fatty acids, plays a crucial role in various diseases. Here, we sought to investigate the involvement of ALOX15 in MASLD. <b><i>Results:</i></b> In this study, we observed upregulation of ALOX15 in the liver of high-fat diet (HFD)- and streptozotocin (STZ)-induced mice. Metabolomic analysis revealed elevated levels of ALOX15 metabolites, 12(S)-hydroperoxyeicosatetraenoic acid and 15(S)-hydroperoxyeicosatetraenoic acid. Transcriptomic analysis showed that the increased fatty acid uptake regulated by the PPARγ/CD36 pathway predominated in lipid accumulation. To elucidate the mechanism underlying ALOX15-induced lipid accumulation, HepG2 cells were transfected with a lentivirus expressing ALOX15 or small interfering RNA targeting ALOX15 and exposed to palmitic acid (PA). Both ALOX15 overexpression and PA exposure led to increased intracellular free fatty acid and triglyceride, resulting in lipotoxicity. ALOX15 overexpression aggravated the effect of PA, while the knockdown of ALOX15 attenuated PA-induced lipotoxicity. Moreover, the treatment with PPARγ antagonist GW9662 or CD36 inhibitor sulfosuccinimidyl oleate sodium effectively reduced lipid accumulation and lipotoxicity resulting from ALOX15 overexpression and PA exposure, indicating the involvement of the PPARγ/CD36 pathway in ALOX15-mediated lipid accumulation. Furthermore, liraglutide, a widely used glucagon-like peptide 1 receptor (GLP-1R) agonist (GLP-1RA), improved hepatic lipid accumulation in HFD/STZ-induced mice by suppressing the ALOX15/PPARγ/CD36 pathway. <b><i>Innovation and Conclusion:</i></b> Our study underscores the potential of ALOX15 as an emerging therapeutic target for MASLD. In addition, the GLP-1RA may confer hepatoprotection by regulating ALOX15, enhancing our comprehension of the mechanisms underpinning their protection on MASLD. <i>Antioxid.

However, ROS-triggered modifications of target proteins in the face of ROS-mediated signal transduction are not fully understood in the anticancer therapies of herbal medicines. In this review, we briefly introduce the PTM-dependent regulations of herbal medicines, and then focus on the current ideals that targeting ROS-dependent PTMs <i>via</i> antioxidant and redox signaling pathways can provide a promising strategy in herbal-based anticancer effects. <b><i>Recent Advances:</i></b> Advanced development in highly sensitive mass spectrometry-based techniques has helped utilize ROS-triggered protein modifications in numerous cancers.
