Irreversible hyperoxidation of peroxiredoxin 2 is caused by tert-butyl hydroperoxide in human red blood cells

چکیده
Peroxiredoxin 2 (Prx2) is the third most abundant protein in red blood cells (RBCs). In this study, we have succeeded in implementing the rapid and simultaneous detection of the hyperoxidized (Prx2-SO2/3) and reduced (Prx2-SH) forms of Prx2 in human RBCs using reverse phase high-performance liquid chromatography. The detection of a peak corresponding to Prx2-SO2/3 was clearly observed following treatment of tert-butyl hydroperoxide (t-BHP), but not H2O2, and was found to be dose-dependent. The identity of the peak was confirmed as Prx2 by immunoblotting and mass spectrometry analysis. Our results suggest that t-BHP hyperoxidizes cysteine residues in Prx2 more readily than H2O2, and that accumulation of hyperoxidized Prx2 might reflect disruption of redox homeostasis in RBCs.

متن کاملLipid peroxidation and haemoglobin degradation in red blood cells exposed to t-butyl hydroperoxide. Effects of the hexose monophosphate shunt as mediated by glutathione and ascorbate.
Lipid peroxidation and haemoglobin degradation were the two extremes of a spectrum of oxidative damage in red cells exposed to t-butyl hydroperoxide. The exact position in this spectrum depended on the availability of glucose and the ligand state of haemoglobin. In red cells containing oxy- or carbonmono-oxy-haemoglobin, hexose monophosphate-shunt activity was mainly responsible for metabolism ...

In the present work, highly efficient oxidation of sulfides catalyzed by MoO2(acac)2 supported on multi-wall carbon nanotubes, MWCNTs, modified with 1,2-diaminobenzene (DAB) and 2-aminophenol (AP), at room temperature are reported. The effects of various parameters such as reaction time, solvent, catalyst amount, oxidant, etc, were studied. These heterogenized catalysts showed high activity in ...
متن کاملGeneration of free radicals from organic hydroperoxide tumor promoters in isolated mouse keratinocytes. Formation of alkyl and alkoxyl radicals from tert-butyl hydroperoxide and cumene hydroperoxide.
The organic hydroperoxides tert-butyl hydroperoxide and cumene hydroperoxide are tumor promoters in the skin of SENCAR mice, and this activity is presumed to be mediated through the activation of the hydroperoxides to free radical species. In this study we have assessed the generation of free radicals from organic hydroperoxides in the target cell (the murine basal keratinocyte) using electron ...
متن کاملAn improved coupled test procedure for glutathione peroxidase (EC 1-11-1-9-) in blood.
An optimized coupled test system for glutathione peroxidase in red blood cells is presented. In the improved assay, tert. butyl hydroperoxide was employed as an acceptor substrate at twenty times Km(app) concentration. By aid of a batching procedure for instant separation of hemoglobin from glutathione peroxidase, it could be proved that cyanmethemoglobin in the modified procedure does not affe...
