چکیده

Thioredoxin reductase 1 (TrxR1) is a pivotal intracellular redox sensor and antioxidant enzyme. On the other hand, overexpression of TrxR1 is closely correlated with the initiation of various tumors including breast cancer, though the detailed mechanism remains unclear. Here we investigated the role of TrxR1 in dysplastic transformation of human breast epithelial cell line MCF-10A induced by chronic oxidative stress. Not surprisingly, sustained exposure to H2O2 significantly augmented the expression and activity of TrxR1 in MCF-10A cells. The dysplastically transformed MCF-10A (MCF-10AT) cells undergoing 8-week H2O2 treatment exhibited a certain degree of malignancy in tumorigenicity evaluation. Moreover, TrxR1 inhibitor ethaselen (BBSKE) could partially reverse some malignant phenotypes including epithelial to mesenchymal transition (EMT) of MCF-10AT as well as MCF-7 cells. Collectively, our results supported the considerable involvement of TrxR1 in the onset of breast cancer and BBSKE may be a promising agent against breast cancer.

Altered expression of thioredoxin reductase-1 in dysplastic bile ducts and cholangiocarcinoma in a hamster model

Thioredoxin reductase 1 (TrxR) is a homodimeric selenoenzyme catalyzing thioredoxin (Trx) in an NADPHdependent manner. With regard to carcinogenesis, these redox proteins have been implicated in cell proliferation, transformation and anti-apoptosis. In the present study, using a hamster cholangiocarcinoma (ChC) model, we evaluated the immunohistochemical expression pattern of TrxR in precancero...

Combined inhibition of glycolysis, the pentose cycle, and thioredoxin metabolism selectively increases cytotoxicity and oxidative stress in human breast and prostate cancer

Inhibition of glycolysis using 2-deoxy-d-glucose (2DG, 20mM, 24-48h) combined with inhibition of the pentose cycle using dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA, 300µM, 24-48h) increased clonogenic cell killing in both human prostate (PC-3 and DU145) and human breast (MDA-MB231) cancer cells via a mechanism involving thiol-mediated oxidative stress. Surprisingly, when 2DG+DHEA treatment was combined with ...

Cytoprotective Nrf2 pathway is induced in chronically thioredoxin reductase 1-deficient hepatocytes

Metabolically active cells require robust mechanisms to combat oxidative stress. The cytoplasmic thioredoxin reductase/thioredoxin (Txnrd1/Txn1) system maintains reduced protein thiols and provides electrons to cellular reductases including peroxiredoxins. Txnrd1-deficient livers exhibited a transcriptome response in which 56 mRNAs were induced and 12 were repressed. Based on the global hybridi...

Upregulation of thioredoxin reductase 1 in human oral squamous cell carcinoma.

Thioredoxin reductase 1 (TrxR1) catalyzes the nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate-dependent reduction of oxidized thioredoxin (Trx). Trx, which is over-expressed in many human tumors, is a selenocysteine-containing protein associated with cell proliferation and apoptosis inhibition. This selenium-containing redox system regulates the activity of various enzymes and counteracts oxidative...

Selenium metabolism, selenoproteins and mechanisms of cancer prevention: complexities with thioredoxin reductase.

Numerous studies in animal models and more recent studies in humans have demonstrated cancer chemopreventive effects with Se. There is extensive evidence that monomethylated forms of Se are critical metabolites for chemopreventive effects of Se. Induction of apoptosis in transformed cells is an important chemopreventive mechanism. Apoptosis can be triggered by micromolar levels of monomethylate...
