Indeed that is a concern that has been raised following the failure of prospective antioxidant trials in smokers to limit the incidence/progression of lung cancer [ 35 ] and the recent epidemiological analysis of gastric cancer incidence and green tea consumption [ 32 ] . However, other evidence has indicated that the antioxidants, vitamin E or N-acetylcysteine, enhanced the ability of the chemotherapeutic agent 5-fluorouracil to induce apoptosis in colon cancer cells [ 36 ] . These in vitro observations are supported by the Apc minanimal model [ 32 ] and sustained clinical trial in patients with H. pylori gastritis [ 30 ] suggesting that dietary antioxidants do not exacerbate precancerous states but may indeed promote regression.
We have previously demonstrated an excessive degree of apoptosis in patients with gastritis induced by H. pylori , and that the degree of apoptosis could be reduced by dietary supplementation with vitamin C, irrespective of whether the infection was cleared or not [ 13 ] . This observation was suggestive that dietary antioxidants could limit the gut pathology by limiting cell death mechanisms.
The resultant nitrotyrosine is used as a marker of peroxynitrite or at least nitration reactions in gastritis [ 13 ] , inflammatory bowel disease [ 15 16 ] as well as general inflammation [ 17 ] . While we have demonstrated that peroxynitrite-induced apoptosis of macrophages and colon epithelial cells is reduced by ascorbic acid [ 18 ] , it is not known if other dietary antioxidants exert similar benefits or if they are present in epithelial cells from the upper gastrointestinal tract.
The early indicator for the subject predisposed to GC is abnormal hyperproliferation of gastric epithelial cells, such as chronic atrophic gastritis (CAG), DYS and intestinal metaplasia (IM), which have been considered as precancerous lesions of GC (You et al.
The abbreviations used are: CSG, chronic superficial gastritis; CAG, chronic atrophic gastritis; DYS, dysplasia; GC, gastric adenocarcinoma; iNOS, inducible nitric oxide synthase; IM, intestinal metaplasia; VEGF, vascular endothelial growth factor.
