Type:
Caspases are a cysteine protease that speed up a chemical reaction via pointing their target substrates following an aspartic acid residue.1 They are grouped into apoptotic (caspase-2, 3, 6, 7, 8, 9 and 10) and inflammatory (caspase-1, 4, 5, 11 and 12) mediated caspases.
Caspase-1 may have both tumorigenic or antitumorigenic effects on cancer development and progression, but it depends on the type of inflammasome, methodology, and cancer.
Catalase is an enzyme found in nearly all living cells exposed to oxygen. Its primary role is to protect cells from oxidative damage by catalyzing the conversion of hydrogen peroxide (H₂O₂), a potentially damaging byproduct of metabolism, into water (H₂O) and oxygen (O₂). This detoxification process is crucial because excess H₂O₂ can lead to the formation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) that damage proteins, lipids, and DNA.

Catalase and Cancer
Oxidative Stress and Cancer:
Cancer cells often experience increased levels of oxidative stress due to rapid proliferation and metabolic changes. This stress can lead to DNA damage, promoting tumorigenesis.
Catalase helps mitigate oxidative stress, and its expression can influence the survival and proliferation of cancer cells.
Expression Levels in Different Cancers:
Overexpression: In some cancers, such as breast cancer and certain types of leukemia, catalase may be overexpressed. This overexpression can help cancer cells survive in oxidative environments, potentially leading to more aggressive tumor behavior.
Downregulation: Conversely, in other cancers, such as colorectal cancer, reduced catalase expression has been observed. This downregulation can lead to increased oxidative stress, contributing to tumor progression and metastasis.
Prognostic Implications:
Survival Rates: Studies have shown that high levels of catalase expression can be associated with poor prognosis in certain cancers, as it may enable cancer cells to resist apoptosis (programmed cell death) induced by oxidative stress.

Some types of cancer cells have been reported to exhibit lower catalase activity, possibly increasing their vulnerability to oxidative damage under certain conditions. This vulnerability has even been exploited in some therapeutic strategies (for example, approaches that generate excess H₂O₂ or other ROS specifically targeting cancer cells have been researched).

Types of Cardiovascular Diseases
Coronary Artery Disease (CAD):
This is the most common type of CVD and occurs when the coronary arteries (which supply the heart with blood) are narrowed or blocked, typically due to atherosclerosis (the buildup of plaque). CAD can lead to chest pain (angina) or heart attacks.

Cerebrovascular Disease:
Diseases such as stroke fall under this category. A stroke occurs when blood flow to an area of the brain is interrupted, either by a clot (ischemic stroke) or by bleeding (hemorrhagic stroke).

Peripheral Artery Disease (PAD):
PAD involves the narrowing of peripheral arteries, often in the legs, which can cause pain and mobility issues.

Heart Failure:
Heart failure happens when the heart is unable to pump blood efficiently, leading to symptoms like shortness of breath, fatigue, and fluid retention.

Cardiac Arrhythmias:
These are problems related to the electrical system of the heart, which can cause irregular heartbeats. They range in severity from benign extra beats to life-threatening ventricular fibrillation.

Valvular Heart Diseases:
These diseases affect the heart valves, potentially causing conditions like stenosis (narrowing) or regurgitation (leakage), which can compromise the heart’s efficiency.
