Reactive oxygen species modify cellular signaling. Hydrogen peroxide derived from either NOXs or the mitochondria can activate the PI3K pathway, the hypoxia-inducible factor (HIF) pathway, and metabolic adaptations. These modifications are essential to allowing the survival, growth, and proliferation fundamental to tumorigenesis.
