Abstract

Introduction: Lead is a chemical element that exists in nature. It is recognized as one of the most toxic and harmful heavy metals, even in low quantities.

Objective: This review focuses on the effect of oxidative stress in the developement of cancer by lead.

Methods: The data were collected by searching Science Direct, Google Scholar, PubMed, Scopus, Springer and National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI). The Keywords used as search terms were “Lead”, “Acute and Chronic toxicity”, “lead and Oxidative stress” and “free radical induced cancer”.

Results: Lead is a genotoxic agent causes genotoxicity by oxidative stress in exposed cells, tissues and organs. Lead is also reported to cause impairment in DNA synthesis process and cause chromosomal aberrations and destabilization of DNA. Many of lead genotoxic effects in mammal cells are mediated by ROS and/or the lipids soluble by products of oxidative stress. In a cellular system, it has been demonstrated that singlet oxygen is the major species participating in the induction of DNA strand breakage which promotes genetic damage and cancer disease.

Conclusion: Lead toxicity can be determined by the oxidative stress status of the cells which can be the main cause of the development of cancer related to the complications of acute and chronic toxicity by lead.

Keywords: Lead; Oxidative Stress; Cancer; Toxicity
