Inflammation
is the body’s defensive action against various stimuli such as physical or
chemical or infectious agents. Acute inflammation and their mediators help in
tissue repair and healing. If the inflammation aggravates chronically,
non-resolved, dysregulated immune system, results release of various inflammatory
mediators such as free radicals (ROS and RNS), cytokines, chemokines, growth
factors and proteolytic enzymes produced by innate and adaptive immune cells
activate transcriptional factors (NF-KB,STAT3 and HIF-1α) results in cell
proliferation, angiogenesis, immunosuppression, genetic instability, invasion
and metastasis. Oncogenes related to cancer activate inflammatory mediators
such as chemokines and cytokines, which alters the inflammatory tumor microenvironment,
promotes tumor progression. This article highlights about the role of
inflammation and oncogenes activate inflammatory mediators in tumor
progression.
