Phospholipid hydroperoxide glutathione peroxidase activity of human glutathione transferases.
Human glutathione transferases (GSTs) from Alpha (A), Mu (M) and Theta (T) classes exhibited glutathione peroxidase activity towards phospholipid hydroperoxide. The specific activities are in the order: GST A1-1>GST T1-1>GST M1-1>GST A2-2>GST A4-4. Using a specific and sensitive HPLC method, specific activities towards the phospholipid hydroperoxide,1-palmitoyl-2-(13-hydroper oxy-cis-9, trans-1...
متن کاملUp-regulation of phospholipid hydroperoxide glutathione peroxidase in rat casein-induced polymorphonuclear neutrophils.
Antioxidant enzymes play key roles in the protection of cells from oxidative damage. Little is known, however, about the expression of antioxidants and/or their roles in PMNs (polymorphonuclear leucocytes), which are thought to suffer from oxidative stress in an inflammation site. In the present paper, we report on the regulation of expression of PHGPx (phospholipid hydroperoxide glutathione pe...
متن کاملEffects of endocrine disrupting chemicals on expression of phospholipid hydroperoxide glutathione peroxidase mRNA in rat testes
Phospholipid hydroperoxide glutathione peroxidase (PHGPx), an antioxidative selenoprotein, is modulated by estrogen in the testis and oviduct. To examine whether potential endocrine disrupting chemicals (EDCs) affect the microenvironment of the testes, the expression patterns of PHGPx mRNA and histological changes were analyzed in 5-week-old Sprague-Dawley male rats exposed to several EDCs such...
متن کاملPhospholipid hydroperoxide glutathione peroxidase plays a role in protecting cancer cells from docosahexaenoic acid-induced cytotoxicity.
Docosahexaenoic acid (DHA; 22:6, n-3) is known to exert cytotoxic effects against various types of tumors via lipid peroxidation. Whereas several enzymes influence the response of cells to oxidative stress, only one enzyme, phospholipid hydroperoxide glutathione peroxidase (GPx-4), directly reduces lipid hydroperoxides in mammalian cells. The present study was designed to examine the involvemen...
متن کاملThe Role of Mitochondrial Phospholipid Hydroperoxide Glutathione Peroxidase in Cancer Therapy
Phospholipid hydroperoxide glutathione peroxidase (PhGPx) is a unique selenoenzyme that directly detoxifies lipid hydroperoxides in situ. It therefore plays an important role in the protection of cellular membranes. PhGPx is expressed in most mammalian tissues. It is present as a mitochondrial form (L-PhGPx) and a cytosolic form (S-PhGPx). Overexpression of PhGPx has been shown to significantly...
