A TRAF6-ECSIT complex is crucial for the generation of mitochondrial reactive oxygen species (mROS) and nuclear factor-kappa B (NF-κB) activation induced by Toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4). Peroxiredoxin-6 (Prdx6) as a member of the peroxiredoxin family of antioxidant enzymes is involved in antioxidant protection and cell signaling. Here, we report on a regulatory role of Prdx6 in mROS production a...
A thiol peroxidase (Tpx) from Mycobacterium tuberculosis was functionally analyzed. The enzyme shows NADPH-linked peroxidase activity using a thioredoxin-thioredoxin reductase system as electron donor, and anti-oxidant activity in a thiol-dependent metal-catalyzed oxidation system. It reduces H2O2, t-butyl hydroperoxide, and cumene hydroperoxide, and is inhibited by sulfhydryl reagents. Mutatio...
In plant cells, antioxidants keep reactive oxygen species at low concentrations, avoiding oxidative damage while allowing them to play crucial functions in signal transduction. However, little is known about the role of antioxidants during fruit maturation, especially in legumes. Snap pea (Pisum sativum) plants, which have edible fruits, were grown under nodulating and non-nodulating conditions...
The rate of electron transfer through multicomponent redox systems is often monitored by following the absorbance change due to the oxidation of the upstream pyridine nucleotide electron donor (NADPH or NADH) that initiates the process. Such coupled assay systems are powerful, but because of problems regarding the rate-limiting step, they sometimes limit the kinetic information that can be obta...
Albuminuria is associated with metabolic syndrome and diabetes. It correlates with the progression of chronic kidney disease, particularly with tubular atrophy. The fatty acid load on albumin significantly increases in obesity, presenting a proinflammatory environment to the proximal tubules. However, little is known about changes in the redox milieu during fatty acid overload and how redox-sen...
A group of bacterial flavoproteins related to thioredoxin reductase contain an additional approximately 200-amino-acid domain including a redox-active disulfide center at their N-termini. These flavoproteins, designated NADH:peroxiredoxin oxidoreductases, catalyze the pyridine-nucleotide-dependent reduction of cysteine-based peroxidases (e.g. Salmonella typhimurium AhpC, a member of the peroxir...
Human erythrocyte peroxiredoxin 2 (Prx2) is a typical 2-cys cytosolic peroxiredoxin with thiol-dependent hydrogen peroxide scavenger activity. In a previous work, we reported Prx2 erythrocyte membrane linkage in some Hereditary Spherocytosis patients and that it seemed to be related to oxidative stress. The aim of the present work was to determine if Prx2 linkage to erythrocyte membrane could b...
Endothelial progenitor cells (EPCs) repair vascular damage and participate in neovascularization. Accumulating evidence has demonstrated that EPCs have therapeutic potential in reactive oxygen species (ROS)-mediated vascular diseases. In this study, to investigate the effects of oxidative stress on EPCs, EPCs were treated with H2O2 at different final concentrations for 3 h. MTT assay, scratch-w...
Peroxiredoxin 1 (PRDX1) is a member of the peroxiredoxin family. Aberrant expression of PRDX1 has been described in various cancers. We investigated the significance of this up-regulation in non-challenged hepatocellularcarcinoma (HCC) cells by establishing a HepG2 cell line stably expressing a Prdx1 shRNA. Prdx1 silencing reversed, at least partially, the tumoural phenotype of HepG2 cells, res...
We have investigated the plasma proteome by using 2D gel electrophoresis and MS from patients with severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS). A complete proteomic analysis was performed on four patients with SARS in different time courses, and a total of 38 differential spots were selected for protein identification. Most of the proteins identified are acute phase proteins, and their presence re...
