Abstract
Ferroptosis is a form of regulated cell death induced by iron-dependent accumulation of lipid hydroperoxides. Selenoprotein glutathione peroxidase 4 (GPX4) suppresses ferroptosis by detoxifying lipid hydroperoxides via a catalytic selenocysteine (Sec) residue. Sec, the genetically encoded 21st amino acid, is biosynthesized from a reactive selenium donor on its cognate tRNA[Ser]Sec. It is thought that intracellular selenium must be delivered 'safely' and 'efficiently' by a carrier protein owing to its high reactivity and very low concentrations. Here, we identified peroxiredoxin 6 (PRDX6) as a novel selenoprotein synthesis factor. Loss of PRDX6 decreases the expression of selenoproteins and induces ferroptosis via a reduction in GPX4. Mechanistically, PRDX6 increases the efficiency of intracellular selenium utilization by transferring selenium between proteins within the selenocysteyl-tRNA[Ser]Sec synthesis machinery, leading to efficient synthesis of selenocysteyl-tRNA[Ser]Sec. These findings highlight previously unidentified selenium metabolic systems and provide new insights into ferroptosis.

Free Radic Biol Med 2024; 218:82-93. [PMID: 38579937 PMCID: PMC11177496 DOI: 10.1016/j.freeradbiomed.2024.04.208] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/28/2024] [Revised: 03/26/2024] [Accepted: 04/02/2024] [Indexed: 04/07/2024]
Abstract
Peroxiredoxin 6 (Prdx6) repairs peroxidized membranes by reducing oxidized phospholipids, and by replacing oxidized sn-2 fatty acyl groups through hydrolysis/reacylation by its phospholipase A2 (aiPLA2) and lysophosphatidylcholine acyltransferase activities. Prdx6 is highly expressed in the lung, and intact lungs and cells null for Prdx6 or with single-point mutations that inactivate either Prdx6-peroxidase or aiPLA2 activity alone exhibit decreased viability, increased lipid peroxidation, and incomplete repair when exposed to paraquat, hyperoxia, or organic peroxides. Ferroptosis is form of cell death driven by the accumulation of phospholipid hydroperoxides. We studied the role of Prdx6 as a ferroptosis suppressor in the lung. We first compared the expression Prdx6 and glutathione peroxidase 4 (GPx4) and visualized Prdx6 and GPx4 within the lung. Lung Prdx6 mRNA levels were five times higher than GPx4 levels. Both Prdx6 and GPx4 localized to epithelial and endothelial cells. Prdx6 knockout or knockdown sensitized lung endothelial cells to erastin-induced ferroptosis. Cells with genetic inactivation of either aiPLA2 or Prdx6-peroxidase were more sensitive to ferroptosis than WT cells, but less sensitive than KO cells. We then conducted RNA-seq analyses in Prdx6-depleted cells to further explore how the loss of Prdx6 sensitizes lung endothelial cells to ferroptosis. Prdx6 KD upregulated transcriptional signatures associated with selenoamino acid metabolism and mitochondrial function. Accordingly, Prdx6 deficiency blunted mitochondrial function and increased GPx4 abundance whereas GPx4 KD had the opposite effect on Prdx6. Moreover, we detected Prdx6 and GPx4 interactions in intact cells, suggesting that both enzymes cooperate to suppress lipid peroxidation. Notably, Prdx6-depleted cells remained sensitive to erastin-induced ferroptosis despite the compensatory increase in GPx4. These results show that Prdx6 suppresses ferroptosis in lung endothelial cells and that both aiPLA2 and Prdx6-peroxidase contribute to this effect. These results also show that Prdx6 supports mitochondrial function and modulates several coordinated cytoprotective pathways in the pulmonary endothelium.

Abstract
Significance: Peroxiredoxins (Prdxs) with a single peroxidative cysteine (CP) in a conserved motif PXXX(T/S)XXCP within its thioredoxin fold, have been classified as the peroxiredoxin 6 (Prdx6 ) family. All Prdxs can reduce H2O2 and short chain hydroperoxides while Prdx6 in addition, can reduce phospholipid hydroperoxides (PLOOH) due to its ability to interact with peroxidized phospholipid substrate. The single CP of Prdx6 uses various external electron donors including glutathione thioredoxin, and ascorbic acid for resolution of its peroxidized state and, therefore, its peroxidase activity. Prdx6 proteins also exhibit Ca2+-independent phospholipase A2 (PLA2), lysophosphatidylcholine acyltransferase (LPCAT), and chaperone activities that depend on cellular localization and the oxidation and oligomerisation states of the protein. Thus, Prdx6 is a "moonlighting" enzyme. Recent Advance: Physiologically, Prdx6s have been reported to play an important role in protection against oxidative stress, repair of peroxidized cell membranes, mammalian lung surfactant turnover, activation of some NADPH oxidases, the regulation of seed germination in plants, as an indicator of cellular levels of reactive O2 species through Nrf-Klf9 activation, and possibly in male fertility, regulation of cell death through ferroptosis, cancer metastasis, and oxidative stress-related signalling pathways. Critical Issues: This review outlines Prdx6 enzyme unique structural features and explores its wide range of physiological functions. Yet, existing structural data falls short of fully revealing all of human Prdx6 multifunctional roles. Further endeavour is required to bridge this gap in its understanding. Although there are wide variations in both the structure and function of Prdx6 family members in various organisms, all Prdx6 proteins show the unique a long C-terminal extension that is also seen in Prdx1, but not in other Prdxs. Future Directions: As research data continues to accumulate, the potential for detailed insights into the role of C-terminal of Prdx6 in its oligomerisation and activities. There is a need for thorough exploration of structural characteristics of the various biological functions. Additionally, uncovering the interacting partners of Prdx6 and understanding its involvement in signalling pathways will significantly contribute to a more profound comprehension of its role.

Abstract
As a vital micronutrient, zinc is integral to the structure, function, and signaling networks of diverse proteins. Dysregulated zinc levels, due to either excess intake or deficiency, are associated with a spectrum of health disorders. In this context, understanding zinc-regulated biological processes at the molecular level holds significant relevance to public health and clinical practice. Identifying and characterizing zinc-regulated proteins in their diverse proteoforms, however, remain a difficult task in advancing zinc biology. Herein, we address this challenge by developing a quantitative chemical proteomics platform that globally profiles the reactivities of proteinaceous cysteines upon cellular zinc depletion. Exploiting a protein-conjugated resin for the selective removal of Zn2+ from culture media, we identify an array of zinc-sensitive cysteines on proteins with diverse functions based on their increased reactivity upon zinc depletion. Notably, we find that zinc regulates the enzymatic activities, post-translational modifications, and subcellular distributions of selected target proteins such as peroxiredoxin 6 (PRDX6), platelet-activating factor acetylhydrolase IB subunit alpha1 (PAFAH1B3), and phosphoglycerate kinase (PGK1).

Abstract
microRNAs (miRNAs) are closely related to the progression of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Cancer-derived exosomes play an essential role in the establishment of the HCC microenvironment. However, the possible effects and underlying mechanisms of exosome (exo) microRNA-23a-5p (miR-23a-5p) in the progression of HCC remain unknown. In this study, we aimed to determine the role and specific molecular mechanism of exo miR-23a-5p in regulating HCC progression and to investigate whether exo miR-23a-5p levels can serve as an indicator of the prognosis of transarterial chemoembolization in patients with HCC. Our findings illustrated that miR-23a-5p was downregulated in exosomes separated from the serum of HCC patients and that miR-23a-5p carried by exosomes inhibited HCC cell proliferation and angiogenesis. Mechanistically, miR-23a-5p negatively targeted peroxiredoxin-2 (PRDX2). Functionally, PRDX2 overexpression relieved exosome-induced inhibition of HCC cell proliferation and angiogenesis by promoting vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) expression. In conclusion, Exo miR-23a-5p inhibited HCC proliferation and angiogenesis by regulating PRDX2 expression. Our results revealed the role and specific molecular mechanism of exo miR-23a-5p in regulating HCC progression.

Abstract
Background To explore the underlying mechanism of programmed cell death (PCD)-related genes in patients with endometrial cancer (EC) and establish a prognostic model. Methods The RNA sequencing data (RNAseq), single nucleotide variation (SNV) data, and corresponding clinical data were downloaded from TCGA. The prognostic PCD-related genes were screened and subjected to consensus clustering analysis. The two clusters were compared by weighted correlation network analysis (WGCNA), immune infiltration analysis, and other analyses. The least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO) algorithm was used to construct the PCD-related prognostic model. The biological significance of the PCD-related gene signature was evaluated through various bioinformatics methods. Results We identified 43 PCD-related genes that were significantly related to prognoses of EC patients, and classified them into two clusters via consistent clustering analysis. Patients in cluster B had higher tumor purity, higher T stage, and worse prognoses compared to those in cluster A. The latter generally showed higher immune infiltration. A prognostic model was constructed using 11 genes (GZMA, ASNS, GLS, PRKAA2, VLDLR, PRDX6, PSAT1, CDKN2A, SIRT3, TNFRSF1A, LRPPRC), and exhibited good diagnostic performance. Patients with high-risk scores were older, and had higher stage and grade tumors, along with worse prognoses. The frequency of mutations in PCD-related genes was correlated with the risk score. LRPPRC, an adverse prognostic gene in EC, was strongly correlated with proliferation-related genes and multiple PCD-related genes. LRPPRC expression was higher in patients with higher clinical staging and in the deceased patients. In addition, a positive correlation was observed between LRPPRC and infiltration of multiple immune cell types. Conclusion We identified a PCD-related gene signature that can predict the prognosis of EC patients and offer potential targets for therapeutic interventions.

Abstract
Reactive oxygen species (ROS) can modulate protein function through cysteine oxidation. Identifying protein targets of ROS can provide insight into uncharacterized ROS-regulated pathways. Several redox-proteomic workflows, such as oxidative isotope-coded affinity tags (OxICAT), exist to identify sites of cysteine oxidation. However, determining ROS targets localized within subcellular compartments and ROS hotspots remains challenging with existing workflows. Here, we present a chemoproteomic platform, PL-OxICAT, which combines proximity labeling (PL) with OxICAT to monitor localized cysteine oxidation events. We show that TurboID-based PL-OxICAT can monitor cysteine oxidation events within subcellular compartments such as the mitochondrial matrix and intermembrane space. Furthermore, we use ascorbate peroxidase (APEX)-based PL-OxICAT to monitor oxidation events within ROS hotspots by using endogenous ROS as the source of peroxide for APEX activation. Together, these platforms further hone our ability to monitor cysteine oxidation events within specific subcellular locations and ROS hotspots and provide a deeper understanding of the protein targets of endogenous and exogenous ROS.

Abstract
Non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), the most common type of lung cancer, etiologically associates with tobacco smoking which mechanistically contributes to oxidative stress to facilitate the occurrence of mutations, oncogenic transformation and aberrantly activated signaling pathways. Our previous reports suggested an essential role of Sulfiredoxin (Srx) in promoting the development of lung cancer in humans, and was causally related to Peroxiredoxin IV (Prx4), the major downstream substrate and mediator of Srx-enhanced signaling. To further explore the role of the Srx-Prx4 axis in de novo lung tumorigenesis, we established Prx4-/- and Srx-/-/Prx4-/- mice in pure FVB/N background. Together with wild-type litter mates, these mice were exposed to carcinogenic urethane and the development of lung tumorigenesis was evaluated. We found that disruption of the Srx-Prx4 axis, either through knockout of Srx/Prx4 alone or together, led to a reduced number and size of lung tumors in mice. Immunohistological studies found that loss of Srx/Prx4 led to reduced rate of cell proliferation and less intratumoral macrophage infiltration. Mechanistically, we found that exposure to urethane increased the levels of reactive oxygen species, activated the expression of and Prx4 in normal lung epithelial cells, while knockout of Prx4 inhibited urethane-induced cell transformation. Moreover, bioinformatics analysis found that the Srx-Prx4 axis is activated in many human cancers, and their increased expression is tightly correlated with poor prognosis in NSCLC patients.

Abstract
Peroxiredoxin 6 (Prdx6) is a multifunctional enzyme, a unique member of the peroxiredoxin family, with an important role in antioxidant defense. Moreover, it has also been linked with the biosynthesis of anti-inflammatory and anti-diabetic lipids called fatty acid esters of hydroxy fatty acids (FAHFAs) and many diseases, including cancer, inflammation, and metabolic disorders. Here, we performed metabolomic and lipidomic profiling of subcutaneous adipose tissue from mouse models with genetically modified Prdx6. Deletion of Prdx6 resulted in reduced levels of FAHFAs containing 13-hydroxylinoleic acid (13-HLA). Mutation of Prdx6 C47S impaired the glutathione peroxidase activity and reduced FAHFA levels, while D140A mutation, responsible for phospholipase A2 activity, showed only minor effects. Targeted analysis of oxidized phospholipids and triacylglycerols in adipocytes highlighted a correlation between FAHFA and hydroxy fatty acid production by Prdx6 or glutathione peroxidase 4. FAHFA regioisomer abundance was negatively affected by the Prdx6 deletion, and this effect was more pronounced in longer and more unsaturated FAHFAs. The predicted protein model of Prdx6 suggested that the monomer-dimer transition mechanism might be involved in the repair of longer-chain peroxidized phospholipids bound over two monomers and that the role of Prdx6 in FAHFA synthesis might be restricted to branching positions further from carbon 9. In conclusion, our work linked the peroxidase activity of Prdx6 with the levels of FAHFAs in adipose tissue.

Proteomic analysis by liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) was used to study the effects of Salmonella infection on spleen proteome in broiler chickens. Day-old broilers were assigned to control (CON; n = 60) or Salmonella challenge (CON−SE; n = 60), and gavaged with Tryptic soy agar broth or SE. A subset of chicks was euthanized on D3 and D7 (n = 4/group/day) and the spleen was removed, and rapidly frozen, subsequently proteome was measured using label-free LC-MS/MS. Protein spectra were mapped to Gallus gallus Uniprot database. Differentially abundant proteins (DAP; FDR < 0.05) between days and treatments were identified using ANOVA. Cecal content of Salmonella in CON−SE was 3.37 log10 CFU/g and CON were negative. Across the 16 samples, 2625 proteins were identified. Proteins that decreased in abundance between days mediated cell cycle progression, while those that increased in abundance function in cytoskeleton and mRNA processing. SE infection caused an increase in proteins that mediated redox homeostasis, lysosomal activities, and energy production, while proteins decreased in abundance-mediated developmental progression. Proteomic signatures of spleen suggest SE infection was metabolically costly, and energy was diverted from normal developmental processes to potentiate disease resistance mechanisms.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Periodontitis is a progressive and inflammatory oral disease and results in the damage of the supporting tissues of teeth. Peroxiredoxin 6 (PRDX6) is an antioxidant enzyme identified as a regulator in ferroptosis. This study aimed to investigate whether PRDX6 could protect human gingival fibroblasts (HGFs) from lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced inflammation and its mechanisms. MATERIAL AND METHODS Both inflamed and non-inflamed human gingival tissues were collected to assess the expression of PRDX6 and nuclear factor erythropoietin 2-related factor 2 (NRF2) by Immunohistochemistry and Western blotting. Furthermore, the molecular mechanisms of PRDX6 have been clarified in PRDX6 silenced cells. The inflammatory cytokines in HGFs were measured by RT-qPCR and ELISA. The lipid hydroperoxide (LOOH) was detected by C11-BODIPY. RESULTS The expression of PRDX6 and NRF2 were decreased in gingival tissues of severe periodontitis patients. The increased LPS-induced LOOH and inflammatory cytokines were found in PRDX6 knockdown HGFs. Besides, the inhibition of ferroptosis or PRDX6 phospholipase A2 activity (PLA2) alleviated LPS-induced inflammatory cytokines and LOOH. However, inhibiting NRF2 signalling upregulated those in HGFs. CONCLUSIONS Therefore, this study provided a new mechanistic insight that PRDX6, regulated by the NRF2 signalling, alleviates LPS-induced inflammation and ferroptosis in human gingival fibroblasts.

Abstract
Peroxiredoxins are multifunctional enzymes that play a key role in protecting cells from stresses and maintaining the homeostasis of many cellular processes. Peroxiredoxins were firstly identified as antioxidant enzymes that can be found in all living organisms. Later studies demonstrated that peroxiredoxins also act as redox signaling regulators, chaperones, and proinflammatory factors and play important roles in oxidative defense, redox signaling, protein folding, cycle cell progression, DNA integrity, inflammation, and carcinogenesis. The versatility of peroxiredoxins is mainly based on their unique active center cysteine with a wide range of redox states and the ability to switch between low- and high-molecular-weight species for regulating their peroxidase and chaperone activities. Understanding the molecular mechanisms of peroxiredoxin in these processes will allow the development of new approaches to enhance longevity and to treat various cancers. In this article, we briefly review the history of peroxiredoxins, summarize recent advances in our understanding of peroxiredoxins in aging- and cancer-related biological processes, and discuss the future perspectives of using peroxiredoxins in disease diagnostics and treatments.

The Intestinal Redox System and Its Significance in Chemotherapy-Induced Intestinal Mucositis. OXIDATIVE MEDICINE AND CELLULAR LONGEVITY 2022; 2022:7255497.

Abstract
Chemotherapy-induced intestinal mucositis (CIM) is a significant dose-limiting adverse reaction brought on by the cancer treatment. Multiple studies reported that reactive oxygen species (ROS) is rapidly produced during the initial stages of chemotherapy, when the drugs elicit direct damage to intestinal mucosal cells, which, in turn, results in necrosis, mitochondrial dysfunction, and ROS production. However, the mechanism behind the intestinal redox system-based induction of intestinal mucosal injury and necrosis of CIM is still undetermined. In this article, we summarized relevant information regarding the intestinal redox system, including the composition and regulation of redox enzymes, ROS generation, and its regulation in the intestine. We innovatively proposed the intestinal redox “Tai Chi” theory and revealed its significance in the pathogenesis of CIM. We also conducted an extensive review of the English language-based literatures involving oxidative stress (OS) and its involvement in the pathological mechanisms of CIM. From the date of inception till July 31, 2021, 51 related articles were selected. Based on our analysis of these articles, only five chemotherapeutic drugs, namely, MTX, 5-FU, cisplatin, CPT-11, and oxaliplatin were shown to trigger the ROS-based pathological mechanisms of CIM. We also discussed the redox system-mediated modulation of CIM pathogenesis via elaboration of the relationship between chemotherapeutic drugs and the redox system. It is our belief that this overview of the intestinal redox system and its role in CIM pathogenesis will greatly enhance research direction and improve CIM management in the future.

Abstract
Peroxiredoxins use a variety of thiols to rapidly reduce hydroperoxides and peroxynitrite. While the oxidation kinetics of peroxiredoxins have been studied in great detail, enzyme-specific differences regarding peroxiredoxin reduction and the overall rate-limiting step under physiological conditions often remain to be deciphered. The 1-Cys peroxiredoxin 5 homolog PfAOP from the malaria parasite Plasmodium falciparum is an established model enzyme for glutathione/glutaredoxin-dependent peroxiredoxins. Here, we reconstituted the catalytic cycle of PfAOP in vitro and analyzed the reaction between oxidized PfAOP and reduced glutathione (GSH) using molecular docking and stopped-flow measurements. Molecular docking revealed that oxidized PfAOP has to adopt a locally unfolded conformation to react with GSH. Furthermore, we determined a second-order rate constant of 6 × 105 M-1 s-1 at 25°C and thermodynamic activation parameters ΔH‡ , ΔS‡ , and ΔG‡ of 39.8 kJ/mol, -0.8 J/mol, and 40.0 kJ/mol, respectively. The gain-of-function mutant PfAOPL109M had almost identical reaction parameters. Taking into account physiological hydroperoxide and GSH concentrations, we suggest (a) that the reaction between oxidized PfAOP and GSH might be even faster than the formation of the sulfenic acid in vivo, and (b) that conformational changes are likely rate limiting for PfAOP catalysis. In summary, we characterized and quantified the reaction between GSH and the model enzyme PfAOP, thus providing detailed insights regarding the reactivity of its sulfenic acid and the versatile chemistry of peroxiredoxins.

Abstract
Transcriptome profiling of Vrindavani and Tharparkar cattle (n = 5 each) revealed that more numbers of genes were dysregulated in Vrindavani than in Tharparkar. A contrast in gene expression was observed with 18.9 % of upregulated genes in Vrindavani downregulated in Tharparkar and 17.8% upregulated genes in Tharparkar downregulated in Vrindavani. Functional annotation of genes differentially expressed in Tharparkar and Vrindavani revealed that the systems biology in Tharparkar is moving towards counteracting the effects due to heat stress. Unlike Vrindavani, Tharparkar is not only endowed with higher expression of the scavengers (UBE2G1, UBE2S, and UBE2H) of misfolded proteins but also with protectors (VCP, Serp1, and CALR) of naïve unfolded proteins. Further, higher expression of the antioxidants in Tharparkar enables it to cope up with higher levels of free radicals generated as a result of heat stress. In this study, we found relevant genes dysregulated in Tharparkar in the direction that can counter heat stress.

Abstract
During systemic inflammation, indoleamine 2,3-dioxygenase 1 (IDO1) becomes expressed in endothelial cells where it uses hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) to oxidize L-tryptophan to the tricyclic hydroperoxide, cis-WOOH, that then relaxes arteries via oxidation of protein kinase G 1α. Here we show that arterial glutathione peroxidases and peroxiredoxins that rapidly eliminate H2O2, have little impact on relaxation of IDO1-expressing arteries, and that purified IDO1 forms cis-WOOH in the presence of peroxiredoxin 2. cis-WOOH oxidizes protein thiols in a selective and stereospecific manner. Compared with its epimer trans-WOOH and H2O2, cis-WOOH reacts slower with the major arterial forms of glutathione peroxidases and peroxiredoxins while it reacts more readily with its target, protein kinase G 1α. Our results indicate a paradigm of redox signaling by H2O2 via its enzymatic conversion to an amino acid-derived hydroperoxide that 'escapes' effective reductive inactivation to engage in selective oxidative activation of key target proteins.

Abstract
Oxidative stress is common consequence of abiotic stress in plants as well as cyanobacteria caused by generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS), an inevitable product of respiration and photosynthetic electron transport. ROS act as signalling molecule at low concentration however, when its production exceeds the endurance capacity of antioxidative defence system, the organisms suffer oxidative stress. A highly toxic metabolite, methylglyoxal (MG) is also produced in cyanobacteria in response to various abiotic stresses which consequently augment the ensuing oxidative damage. Taking recourse to the common lineage of eukaryotic plants and cyanobacteria, it would be worthwhile to explore the regulatory role of glyoxalase system and antioxidative defense mechanism in combating abiotic stress in cyanobacteria. This review provides comprehensive information on the complete glyoxalase system (GlyI, GlyII and GlyIII) in cyanobacteria. Furthermore, it elucidates the recent understanding regarding the production of ROS and MG, noteworthy link between intracellular MG and ROS and its detoxification via synchronization of antioxidants (enzymatic and non-enzymatic) and glyoxalase systems using glutathione (GSH) as common co-factor.

Peroxiredoxin 6 Knockout Mice Demonstrate Anxiety Behavior and Attenuated Contextual Fear Memory after Receiving Acute Immobilization Stress. Antioxidants (Basel) 2021; 10:antiox10091416.

Abstract
Stress can elicit glucocorticoid release to promote coping mechanisms and influence learning and memory performance. Individual memory performance varies in response to stress, and the underlying mechanism is not clear yet. Peroxiredoxin 6 (PRDX6) is a multifunctional enzyme participating in both physiological and pathological conditions. Several studies have demonstrated the correlation between PRDX6 expression level and stress-related disorders. Our recent finding indicates that lack of the Prdx6 gene leads to enhanced fear memory. However, it is unknown whether PRDX6 is involved in changes in anxiety response and memory performance upon stress. The present study reveals that hippocampal PRDX6 level is downregulated 30 min after acute immobilization stress (AIS) and trace fear conditioning (TFC). In human retinal pigment epithelium (ARPE-19) cells, the PRDX6 expression level decreases after being treated with stress hormone corticosterone. Lack of PRDX6 caused elevated basal H2O2 levels in the hippocampus, basolateral amygdala, and medial prefrontal cortex, brain regions involved in anxiety response and fear memory formation. Additionally, this H2O2 level was still high in the medial prefrontal cortex of the knockout mice under AIS. Anxiety behavior of Prdx6-/- mice was enhanced after immobilization for 30 min. After exposure to AIS before a contextual test, Prdx6-/- mice displayed a contextual fear memory deficit. Our results showed that the memory performance of Prdx6-/- mice was impaired when responding to AIS, accompanied by dysregulated H2O2 levels. The present study helps better understand the function of PRDX6 in memory performance after acute stress.

Abstract
Aberrant Sumoylation-mediated protein dysfunction is involved in a variety of oxidative and aging pathologies. We previously reported that Sumoylation-deficient Prdx6K(lysine)122/142R(Arginine) linked to the TAT-transduction domain gained stability and protective efficacy. In the present study, we formulated wild-type TAT-HA-Prdx6WT and Sumoylation-deficient Prdx6-loaded poly-lactic-co-glycolic acid (PLGA) nanoparticles (NPs) to further enhance stability, protective activities, and sustained delivery. We found that in vitro and subconjuctival delivery of Sumoylation-deficient Prdx6-NPs provided a greater protection of lens epithelial cells (LECs) derived from human and Prdx6-/--deficient mouse lenses against oxidative stress, and it also delayed the lens opacity in Shumiya cataract rats (SCRs) than TAT-HA-Prdx6WT-NPs. The encapsulation efficiencies of TAT-HA-Prdx6-NPs were ≈56%-62%. Dynamic light scattering (DLS) and atomic force microscopy (AFM) analyses showed that the NPs were spherical, with a size of 50-250 nm and a negative zeta potential (≈23 mV). TAT-HA-Prdx6 analog-NPs released bioactive TAT-HA-Prdx6 (6%-7%) within 24 h. Sumoylation-deficient TAT-HA-Prdx6-NPs provided 35% more protection by reducing the oxidative load of LECs exposed to H2O2 compared to TAT-HA-Prdx6WT-NPs. A subconjuctival delivery of TAT-HA-Prdx6 analog-NPs demonstrated that released TAT-HA-Prdx6K122/142R could reduce lens opacity by ≈60% in SCRs. Collectively, our results demonstrate for the first time that the subconjuctival delivery of Sumoylation-deficient Prdx6-NPs is efficiently cytoprotective and provide a proof of concept for potential use to delay cataract and oxidative-related pathobiology in general.

Simple Summary In addition to cancer-related factors, anti-cancer chemotherapy treatment can drive life-threatening body wasting in a syndrome known as cachexia. Emerging evidence has described the impact of several key chemotherapeutic agents on skeletal muscle in particular, and the mechanisms are gradually being unravelled. Despite this evidence, there remains very little research regarding therapeutic strategies to protect muscle during anti-cancer treatment and current global grand challenges focused on deciphering the cachexia conundrum fail to consider this aspect—chemotherapy-induced myopathy remains very much on the dark side of the cachexia sphere. This review explores the impact and mechanisms of, and current investigative strategies to protect against, chemotherapy-induced myopathy to illuminate this serious issue. Abstract Cancer cachexia is a debilitating multi-factorial wasting syndrome characterised by severe skeletal muscle wasting and dysfunction (i.e., myopathy). In the oncology setting, cachexia arises from synergistic insults from both cancer–host interactions and chemotherapy-related toxicity. The majority of studies have surrounded the cancer–host interaction side of cancer cachexia, often overlooking the capability of chemotherapy to induce cachectic myopathy. Accumulating evidence in experimental models of cachexia suggests that some chemotherapeutic agents rapidly induce cachectic myopathy, although the underlying mechanisms responsible vary between agents. Importantly, we highlight the capacity of specific chemotherapeutic agents to induce cachectic myopathy, as not all chemotherapies have been evaluated for cachexia-inducing properties—alone or in clinically compatible regimens. Furthermore, we discuss the experimental evidence surrounding therapeutic strategies that have been evaluated in chemotherapy-induced cachexia models, with particular focus on exercise interventions and adjuvant therapeutic candidates targeted at the mitochondria.

Abstract
Protective effects of peroxiredoxin 6 (PRDX6) in RIN-m5F β-cells and of thymulin in mice with alloxan-induced diabetes were recently reported. The present work was aimed at studying the efficiency of thymulin and PRDX6 in a type 1 diabetes mellitus model induced by streptozotocin in mice. Effects of prolonged treatment with PRDX6 or thymic peptide thymulin on diabetes development were evaluated. We assessed the effects of the drugs on the physiological status of diabetic mice by measuring blood glucose, body weight, and cell counts in several organs, as well as effects of thymulin and PRDX6 on the immune status of diabetic mice measuring concentrations of pro-inflammatory cytokines in blood plasma (TNF-α, interleukin-5 and 17, and interferon-γ), activity of NF-κB and JNK pathways, and Hsp90α expression in immune cells. Both thymulin and PRDX6 reduced the physiological impairments in diabetic mice at various levels. Thymulin and PRDX6 provide beneficial effects in the model of diabetes via very different mechanisms. Taken together, the results of our study indicated that the thymic peptide and the antioxidant enzyme have anti-inflammatory functions. As increasing evidences show diabetes mellitus as a distinct comorbidity leading to acute respiratory distress syndrome and increased mortality in patients with COVID-19 having cytokine storm, thymulin, and PRDX6 might serve as a supporting anti-inflammatory treatment in the therapy of COVID 19 in diabetic patients.

[PMID: 33727039 DOI: 10.1016/j.abb.2021.108830] [Citation(s) in RCA: 13] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/14/2021] [Revised: 02/26/2021] [Accepted: 03/07/2021] [Indexed: 01/11/2023]
Abstract
Peroxiredoxin 6 (Prdx6) is a bifunctional enzyme with multi-substrate peroxidase and phospholipase activities that is involved in cell redox homeostasis and regulates intracellular processes. Previously, recombinant Prdx6 was shown to exert a radioprotective effect during whole-body exposure to a lethal dose of X-ray radiation. Moreover, a mutant form Prdx6-C47S, which lacks peroxidase activity, also had a radioprotective effect, and this indicates that the mechanism of radioprotection is unknown. The present study was aimed to test the hypothesis that the radioprotective effect of Prdx6 and Prdx6-C47S may be mediated through the TLR4/NF-κB signaling pathway. It was demonstrated that exogenously applied Prdx6 protected 3T3 fibroblast cells against LD50 X-ray radiation in vitro. Pretreatment with Prdx6 increased cell survival, stimulated proliferation, normalized the level of reactive oxygen species in culture, and suppressed apoptosis and necrosis. Wild-type Prdx6 and, to a lesser degree, the Prdx6-C47S mutant proteins promoted a significant increase in NF-κB activation in irradiated cells, which likely contributes to the antiapoptotic effect. Pretreatment with TLR4 inhibitors, especially those directed to the extracellular part of the receptor, significantly reduced the radioprotective effect, and this supports the role of TLR4 signaling in the protective effects of Prdx6. Therefore, the radioprotective effect of Prdx6 was related not only to its antioxidant properties, but also to its ability to trigger cellular defense mechanisms through interaction with the TLR4 receptor and subsequent activation of the NF-κB pathway. Recombinant Prdx6 may be useful for the development of a new class of safe radioprotective compounds that have a combination of antioxidant and immunomodulatory properties.

Abstract
Peroxiredoxins are a group of thiol-specific antioxidant proteins that take six isoforms in vertebrates and allow the innate immune system to sense and detoxify reactive oxygen species. In this study, we identified and characterized the perxiredoxin-1 (SsPrdx1) cDNA sequence from the rockfish, Sebastes schlegelii. In silico analysis revealed that SsPrdx1 contained a 594 bp long open reading frame (ORF) encoding a protein of 198 amino acids, with a predicted molecular weight and theoretical isoelectric point of 21.97 kDa and 6.30, respectively. The SsPrdx1 gene comprised six exons linked by five introns, while peroxiredoxin signature motifs were found in the highly conserved third, fourth, and fifth exons. Phylogenetic analysis and sequence alignment suggested that SsPrdx1 is evolutionarily conserved and that its most closely related counterpart is Salarias fasciatus. Recombinant SsPrdx1 (rSsPrdx1) displayed supercoiled DNA protection and insulin disulfide reduction activities in a concentration-dependent manner, while cells transiently transfected with pcDNA3.1 (+)/SsPrdx1 exhibited significant cytoprotective effects under oxidative stress and wound healing activity. SsPrdx1 transcripts were constitutively expressed under normal physiological conditions, with the highest expression observed in the blood. Moreover, SsPrdx1 expression increased in the blood, spleen, and liver following immune provocation by LPS, poly I:C, and Streptococcus iniae injection. Thus, this study provides insights into the role of SsPrdx1 in rockfish immune protection.

Abstract
PURPOSE Peroxiredoxin 1 (Prx1) is known to be a multifunctional antioxidant enzyme playing an essential role in protecting the organism against oxidative stress. We hypothesized that administration of exogenous recombinant Prx1 may provide additional protection of the mammalian organism during the development of acute oxidative stress induced by ionizing radiation. Hence, the aim of the present work was to study the radioprotective properties of exogenous Prx1. MATERIALS AND METHODS Recombinant Prx1 was obtained by genetic engineering. The properties of Prx1 were studied using physicochemical methods. An immunoblotting and ELISA were used for the determination of the level of endogenous and exogenous Prx1 in animal blood. The survival rate of irradiated animals was assessed for 30 days with various modes of administration (intraperitoneal, intramuscular, intravenously) Prx1. Using a hematological analyzer and microscopic analysis, the changes in the level of leukocytes and platelets were assessed in animals that received and did not receive an intravenous injection of Prx1 before irradiation. Genoprotective properties of Prx1 were confirmed by micronucleus test. Real-time PCR was used to investigate the effect of Prx1 on the expression of genes involved in response to oxidative stress. RESULTS Recombinant Prx1 was shown to significantly reduce oxidative damage to biological macromolecules. Prx1 is an effective radioprotector which decreases the severity of radiation-induced leuko- and thrombocytopenia, plus protects bone marrow cells from damage. The half-life of Prx1 in the bloodstream is more than 1 h, while within 1 h there is a loss of the antioxidant activity of Prx1 by almost 50%, which limits its use long (2 h) before irradiation. The introduction of Prx1 after irradiation has no significant radiomitigating effect. The most effective way of using Prx1 is intravenous administration shortly (15-30 min) before exposure to ionizing radiation, with a dose reduction factor of 1.3. Under the action of ionizing radiation a dose-dependent appearance of endogenous Prx1 in the bloodstream was also observed. The appearance of Prx1 in the bloodstream alters the expression of stress response genes (especial antioxidant response and DNA repair) in the cells of red bone marrow, promoting the activation of repair processes. CONCLUSION The recombinant Prx1 can be considered as an effective radioprotector for minimizing the risks of injury of animal's body by ionizing radiation.

Analyses of the expression, immunohistochemical properties and serodiagnostic potential of Schistosoma japonicum peroxiredoxin-4. Parasit Vectors 2020; 13:436. [PMID: 32867818 PMCID: PMC7460784 DOI: 10.1186/s13071-020-04313-w] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/06/2020] [Accepted: 08/24/2020] [Indexed: 12/31/2022] Open
Abstract
Background Schistosoma japonicum, which inhabits the mesenteric vein of the mammalian hosts for about 20 to 30 years, is subjected to the oxidative stresses from the host defense mechanism during their intra-mammalian stages. To counteract this host immune attack, the parasite utilizes their antioxidant system for survival inside the host. Peroxiredoxins (Prxs), thiol-specific antioxidant proteins, play an essential role for protecting the parasite against oxidative stress by reducing hydrogen peroxide to water. Only three types of 2-Cys Prxs have been previously characterized in S. japonicum whereas a fourth Prx has been identified for Schistosoma mansoni as Prx-4. A sequence coding homologous to this gene in the S. japonicum database was identified, characterized and expressed as recombinant SjPrx-4 protein (rSjPrx-4). Furthermore, rSjPrx-4 was evaluated in this study for its diagnostic potentials in detecting S. japonicum infection in humans. Results The gene found in the parasite genome contained 2 active-site cysteines with conserved sequences in the predicted amino acid (AA) sequence and showed 75% identity with that of the previously characterized Prx (TPx-1) of S. japonicum. The gene was expressed in different stages of schistosome life-cycle with highest transcription level in the adult male. The gene was cloned into a plasmid vector and then transfected into Escherichia coli for expression of rSjPrx-4. Anti-rSjPrx-4 mouse sera recognized native SjPrx-4 in egg and adult worm lysate by western blotting. The result of a mixed function oxidation assay in which rSjPrx-4 prevented the nicking of DNA from hydroxyl radicals confirmed its antioxidant activity. Subsequently, immunolocalization analysis showed the localization of SjPrx-4 inside the egg, on the tegument and in the parenchyma of the adult worm. Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay results showed that rSjPrx-4 has 83.3% sensitivity and 87.8% specificity. Its diagnostic potential was further evaluated in combination with recombinant SjTPx-1 protein, yielding an improved sensitivity and specificity of 90% and 92.7%, respectively. Conclusions These results suggest that SjPrx-4 plays a role as an antioxidant dealing with oxidative stresses of S. japonicum, and its diagnostic potential improved by coupling it with SjTPx-1 is a proof for developing a serological test with better diagnostic performance for human schistosomiasis.![]()

Comparative Study of Protective Action of Exogenous 2-Cys Peroxiredoxins (Prx1 and Prx2) Under Renal Ischemia-Reperfusion Injury. Antioxidants (Basel) 2020; 9:antiox9080680.

Abstract
The pathogenesis of ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) injuries is based on oxidative stress caused by a sharp increase in the concentration of free radicals, reactive oxygen species (ROS) and secondary products of free radical oxidation of biological macromolecules during reperfusion. Application of exogenous antioxidants lowers the level of ROS in the affected tissues, suppresses or adjusts the course of oxidative stress, thereby substantially reducing the severity of I/R injury. We believe that the use of antioxidant enzymes may be the most promising line of effort since they possess higher efficiency than low molecular weight antioxidants. Among antioxidant enzymes, of great interest are peroxiredoxins (Prx1–6) which reduce a wide range of organic and inorganic peroxide substrates. In an animal model of bilateral I/R injury of kidneys (using histological, biochemical, and molecular biological methods) it was shown that intravenous administration of recombinant typical 2-Cys peroxiredoxins (Prx1 and Prx2) effectively reduces the severity of I/R damage, contributing to the normalization of the structural and functional state of the kidneys and an almost 2-fold increase in the survival of experimental animals. The use of recombinant Prx1 or Prx2 can be an efficient approach for the prevention and treatment of renal I/R injury.

Abstract
Peroxiredoxins (Prxs) are an unusual family of thiol-specific peroxidases that possess a binding site for H2O2 and rely on a conserved cysteine residue for rapid reaction with H2O2. Among 6 mammalian isoforms (Prx I to VI), Prx I and Prx II are mainly found in the cytosol and nucleus. Prx I and Prx II function as antioxidant enzymes and protein chaperone under oxidative distress conditions. Under oxidative eustress conditions, Prx I and Prx II regulate the levels of H2O2 at specific area of the cells as well as sense and transduce H2O2 signaling to target proteins. Prx I and Prx II are known to be covalently modified on multiple sites: Prx I is hyperoxidized on Cys52; phosphorylated on Ser32, Thr90, and Tyr194; acetylated on Lys7, Lys16, Lys27, Lys35, and Lys197; glutathionylated on Cys52, Cys83, and Cys173; and nitrosylated on Cys52 and Cys83, whereas Prx II is hyperoxidized on Cys51; phosphorylated on Thr89, Ser112, and Thr182; acetylated on Ala2 and Lys196; glutathionylated on Cys51 and Cys172; and nitrosylated on Cys51 and Cys172. In this review, we describe how these post-translational modifications affect various functions of Prx I and Prx II.

Abstract
Peroxiredoxin 6 (Prdx6) is a ubiquitously expressed 1-cysteine Peroxiredoxin found throughout all phyla. In mammals, under different physiological conditions, it has evolved from a peroxidase to a multifunctional enzyme. Among the mammalian Prdx6's, human and rat Prdx6's are the most extensively studied. Our study revealed that human and rat Prdx6's exhibit differences in their peroxidase activity. These two Prdx6's have only 8% difference in their primary sequence (with 19 amino acids) with no apparent modification at any of the key conserved residues. In the present communication, we have investigated the roles of thermodynamics, structure and internal flexibility of Prdx6 to account for the difference in their peroxidase activity. We discovered that these amino acid variations have led to structural alterations in human Prdx6 so that it shows enhanced intrinsic dynamics (or flexibility) than the rat protein. We could also identify the gain of intrinsic dynamics of the catalytic site in human Prdx6 due to relocation of an important active site residue (R132) to the loop region as the most plausible reason for high catalytic activity in the human protein as compared to rat variant. Since it is the thioredoxin fold that upholds the peroxidase function, certain structural alteration in the Prdx6 structure might help to regulate the efficiency of thioredoxin folds. Our results hint that Prdx6 might have a cis-acting regulatory sequence(s).

Abstract
Thioredoxin peroxidases (TPxs) are ubiquitous cysteine-based peroxidases that reduce peroxides as part of antioxidant defenses and redox signaling and are essential for Babesia microti protection against adverse environment agents like reactive oxygen species (ROS) and reactive nitrogen species (RNS). To better systematically understand TPxs, we identified a novel 2-Cys peroxiredoxin-Q (BmTPx-Q) of B. microti. The full-length BmTPx-Q gene is 653 bp that consists of an intact open reading frame of 594 bp that encodes a 197-amino acid protein. The predicted protein has a molecular weight of 22.3 kDa and an isoelectric point of 9.18. Moreover, BmTPx-Q showed low identity at the amino acid level to other peroxiredoxins (Prxs) among the currently known subfamilies. The recombinant BmTPx-Q protein (rBmTPx-Q) was expressed in Escherichia coli and purified with beads. The native protein BmTPx-Q was detected using mouse anti-BmTPx-Q polyclonal serum with western blotting and indirect immunofluorescence assay (IFA). In addition, enzyme activity was observed using nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NADPH) as substrate and triggered the NADPH-dependent reduction of the Trx/TrxR system. It was also discovered that BmTPx-Q mainly exists as a monomer whether under its native or functional states. In addition, when incubated with Chloroquine diphosphate salt for 24 h in vitro, the expression of BmTPx-Q showed a marked downward trend with the increase of drug concentration. These results suggest that B. microti uses BmTPx-Q to reduce and detoxify hydrogen peroxides to survive and proliferate inside the host. Furthermore, BmTPx-Q showed the lowest identity with host enzymes and could be a potential drug target for the development of novel strategies to control B. microti infection.

Abstract
Our previous study found that microRNA-21a-5p (miR-21a-5p) knockdown could improve the recovery of motor function after spinal cord injury in a mouse model, but the precise molecular mechanism remains poorly understood. In this study, a modified Allen's weight drop was used to establish a mouse model of spinal cord injury. A proteomics approach was used to understand the role of differential protein expression with miR-21a-5p knockdown, using a mouse model of spinal cord injury without gene knockout as a negative control group. We found that after introducing miR-21a-5p knockdown, proteins that played an essential role in the regulation of inflammatory processes, cell protection against oxidative stress, cell redox homeostasis, and cell maintenance were upregulated compared with the negative control group. Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes pathway enrichment analysis identified enriched pathways in both groups, such as the oxidative phosphorylation pathway, which is relevant to Parkinson's disease, Huntington's disease, Alzheimer's disease, and cardiac muscle contraction. We also found that miR-21a-5p could be a potential biomarker for amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, as miR-21a-5p becomes deregulated in this pathway. These results indicate successful detection of some important proteins that play potential roles in spinal cord injury. Elucidating the relationship between these proteins and the recovery of spinal cord injury will provide a reference for future research of spinal cord injury biomarkers. All experimental procedures and protocols were approved by the Experimental Animal Ethics Committee of Shandong University of China on March 5, 2014.

Abstract
Type 1 diabetes is associated with the destruction of pancreatic beta cells, which is mediated via an autoimmune mechanism and consequent inflammatory processes. In this article, we describe a beneficial effect of peroxiredoxin 6 (PRDX6) in a type 1 diabetes mouse model. The main idea of this study was based on the well-known data that oxidative stress plays an important role in pathogenesis of diabetes and its associated complications. We hypothesised that PRDX6, which is well known for its various biological functions, including antioxidant activity, may provide an antidiabetic effect. It was shown that PRDX6 prevented hyperglycemia, lowered the mortality rate, restored the plasma cytokine profile, reversed the splenic cell apoptosis, and reduced the β cell destruction in Langerhans islets in mice with a severe form of alloxan-induced diabetes. In addition, PRDX6 protected rat insulinoma RIN-m5F β cells, cultured with TNF-α and IL-1β, against the cytokine-induced cytotoxicity and reduced the apoptotic cell death and production of ROS. Signal transduction studies showed that PRDX6 prevented the activation of NF-κB and c-Jun N-terminal kinase signaling cascades in RIN-m5F β cells cultured with cytokines. In conclusion, there is a prospect for therapeutic application of PRDX6 to delay or even prevent β cell apoptosis in type 1 diabetes.

[PMID: 31759247 PMCID: PMC6880097 DOI: 10.1016/j.redox.2019.101379] [Citation(s) in RCA: 34] [Impact Index Per Article: 8.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/08/2019] [Revised: 10/30/2019] [Accepted: 11/10/2019] [Indexed: 02/06/2023] Open
Abstract
Cystathionine γ lyase (CSE) is the major source of hydrogen sulfide-derived species (H2Sn) in endothelial cells and plays an important role in protecting against atherosclerosis. Here we investigated the molecular mechanisms underlying the regulation of CSE expression in endothelial cells by fluid shear stress/flow. Fluid shear stress decreased CSE expression in human and murine endothelial cells and was negatively correlated with the transcription factor Krüppel-like factor (KLF) 2. CSE was identified as a direct target of the KLF2-regulated microRNA, miR-27b and high expression of CSE in native human plaque-derived endothelial cells, was also inversely correlated with KLF2 and miR-27b levels. One consequence of decreased CSE expression was the loss of Prx6 sulfhydration (on Cys47), which resulted in Prx6 hyperoxidation, decamerization and inhibition, as well as a concomitant increase in endothelial cell reactive oxygen species and lipid membrane peroxidation. H2Sn supplementation in vitro was able to reverse the redox state of Prx6. Statin therapy, which is known to activate KLF2, also decreased CSE expression but increased CSE activity by preventing its phosphorylation on Ser377. As a result, the sulfhydration of Prx6 was partially restored in samples from plaque containing arteries from statin-treated donors. Taken together, the regulation of CSE expression by shear stress/disturbed flow is dependent on KLF2 and miR-27b. Moreover, in murine and human arteries CSE acts to maintain endothelial redox balance at least partly by targeting Prx6 to prevent its decamerization and inhibition of its peroxidase activity.

Abstract
It was established that recombinant human peroxiredoxins (Prx1, Prx2, Prx4, and Prx6) inhibit natural dicarbonyls formed during free radical peroxidation of unsaturated lipids (malonic dialdehyde) and oxidative transformations of glucose (glyoxal and methylglyoxal). A possible role of the decrease in the activity of peroxiredoxins under oxidative and carbonyl stress is discussed as an important factor that triggers the molecular mechanisms of vascular wall damage in atherosclerosis and diabetes mellitus.

Abstract
Peroxiredoxins (Prxs) are a widespread and greatly transcribed family of antioxidant proteins, which rapidly detoxify peroxynitrite, hydrogen peroxide and organic hydroperoxides. The Prxs family members also modulate various physiological functions, including cell growth, differentiation, embryonic development, immune response, apoptosis, lipid metabolism, and cellular homeostasis. In mammals, the physiological functions of Prxs have extensively been studied; however, the knowledge is scanty in their counterpart, aquatic invertebrates. In recent years, substantial progress has been made in our knowledge of Prxs physiological functions in aquatic invertebrates, which has raised interest in defining the contribution of immune responses and removal of reactive oxygen species. In this review, we describe the recent knowledge on the Prxs physiological function in immune responses and DNA protection activity in aquatic invertebrates.

Multicolor redox sensor proteins can visualize redox changes in various compartments of the living cell. Biochim Biophys Acta Gen Subj 2019; 1863:1098-1107.

Abstract
Change in the intracellular redox state is a consequence of various metabolic reactions, which simultaneously regulates various physiological phenomena in cells. Monitoring the redox state in living cells is thus very important for understanding cellular physiology. Various genetically encoded fluorescent redox sensors have therefore been developed. Recently, we developed oxidation-sensitive fluorescent proteins named Oba-Q (Sugiura, K., et al. (2015) Biochem. Biophys. Res. Commun. 457, 242-248), which exhibit dramatic quenching under oxidizing conditions. To extend the range of uses of redox sensor proteins, we refined these proteins based on the molecular architecture applied to Oba-Q, and successfully produced several redox sensor proteins based on CFP and YFP. Interestingly, some of these sensor proteins showed the reverse changes in emission compared with Oba-Q, implying remarkable fluorescence quenching under reducing conditions. We named this type of sensor protein Re-Q, reduction-sensed quenching protein. The cause of the redox-dependent fluorescence quenching could be clearly explained based on the crystal structure of Re-Q in the reduced and oxidized forms. In addition, by introducing suitable mutations into the sensors, we produced Oba-Q and Re-Q mutants exhibiting various midpoint redox potentials. This series of proteins can cover a wide range of redox potentials in the cell, so they should be applicable to various cells and even intracellular organelles. As an example, we successfully measured the redox responses in different cell compartments of cultured mammalian cells simultaneously against the anticancer reagents Kp372-1.

Abstract
Silkworm (Bombyx mori) larvae are widely used to express exogenous proteins. Moreover, some silkworm pupal proteins can be used as drug-loading materials for selfexpressed oral tolerance drugs. However, several proteins expressed in silkworm pupae cause severe allergic reactions in humans and animals. Interestingly, some baculovirus vectors have been shown to alter the host gene and its expression in insect cells, but this has not been confirmed in silkworm. Here, we analyzed the effects of infection with an empty B. mori baculovirus (BmNPV) vector on silkworm pupal protein expression. Using a proteomics approach, the allergens thiol peroxiredoxin (Jafrac1), 27-kDa glycoprotein (p27k), arginine kinase, and paramyosin as well as 32 additional differentially expressed proteins were identified. Downregulation of the messenger RNA expression of the four known allergens was observed after BmNPV infection; subsequent changes in protein expression were confirmed by the western blot analysis using polyclonal antibodies prepared with recombinant proteins of the four allergens. Collectively, these data indicate that the four known allergens of silkworm pupae can be reduced by infection ith an empty BmNPV vector to increase the safety of silkworm pupa-based exogenous protein expression and drug delivery of oral pharmaceuticals. In addition, the four recombinant allergen proteins may contribute to the diagnosis of allergic diseases of silkworm pupa.

Abstract
A radioprotective effect of exogenous recombinant peroxiredoxin 2 (Prx2) was revealed and characterized using an animal model of whole body X-ray irradiation at sublethal and lethal doses. Prx2 belongs to an evolutionarily ancient family of peroxidases that are involved in enzymatic degradation of a wide variety of organic and inorganic hydroperoxides. Apart from that, the oxidized form of Prx2 also exhibits chaperone activity, thereby preventing protein misfolding and aggregation under oxidative stress. Intravenous administration of Prx2 in animals at a concentration of 20 µg/g 15 min before exposure to ionizing radiation contributes to a significantly higher survival rate, suppresses the development of leucopenia and thrombocytopenia, as well as protects the bone marrow cells from genome DNA damage. Moreover, injection of Prx2 leads to suppression of apoptosis, stimulates cell proliferation and results in a more rapid recovery of the cell redox state. Exogenous Prx2 neutralizes the effect of the priming dose on the second irradiation of the cells. The radioprotective properties of exogenous Prx2 are stipulated by its broad substrate peroxidase activity, chaperone activity in the oxidized state, and are also due to the signal-regulatory function of Prx2 mediated by the regulation of the level of hydroperoxides as well as via interaction with redox-sensitive regulatory proteins.

Abstract
Peroxiredoxin 6 (Prdx6) has been shown to have three enzymatic activities: peroxidase, phospholipase A₂ (PLA₂) and acyl transferase. The peroxidase activity is unusual, as it is capable of reducing phospholipid hydroperoxides (as well as hydrogen peroxide and short chain organic peroxides). Knockout and overexpressing mice have been produced that demonstrate the effect that eliminating or overproducing Prdx6 has on the animals' physiology. In addition, mutations in various amino acids of Prdx6 have been identified that interfere with different enzymatic functions as well as protein transport. These mutations were originally characterized biochemically; subsequently, several knock-in mouse strains have been produced, each containing one mutation. These mice include the S32T knock-in that affects protein transport, the C47S knock-in that inactivates the peroxidase enzymatic activity, the D140A knock-in that inactivates the PLA₂ enzymatic activity and the H26A knock-in that inactivates the peroxidase and blocks binding to phospholipids. This review summarizes the properties of these mice based upon studies conducted with the knockout, overexpressing and knock-in mice and the effect of the genetic changes on the biochemistry and physiology of these mice. The availability of these mice is also briefly discussed.

Abstract
Intermediary metabolism and detoxification place high demands on the disulfide reductase systems in most hepatocyte subcellular compartments. Biosynthetic, metabolic, cytoprotective and signalling activities in the cytosol; regulation of transcription in nuclei; respiration in mitochondria; and protein folding in endoplasmic reticulum all require resident disulfide reductase activities. In the cytosol, two NADPH-dependent enzymes, glutathione reductase and thioredoxin reductase, as well as a recently identified NADPH-independent system that uses catabolism of methionine to maintain pools of reduced glutathione, supply disulfide reducing power. However the necessary discontinuity between the cytosol and the interior of organelles restricts the ability of the cytosolic systems to support needs in other compartments. Maintenance of molecular- and charge-gradients across the inner-mitochondrial membrane, which is needed for oxidative phosphorylation, mandates that the matrix maintain an autonomous set of NADPH-dependent disulfide reductase systems. Elsewhere, complex mechanisms mediate the transfer of cytosolic reducing power into specific compartments. The redox needs in each compartment also differ, with the lumen of the endoplasmic reticulum, the mitochondrial inter-membrane space and some signalling proteins in the cytosol each requiring different levels of protein oxidation. Here, we present an overview of the current understanding of the disulfide reductase systems in major subcellular compartments of hepatocytes, integrating knowledge obtained from direct analyses on liver with inferences from other model systems. Additionally, we discuss relevant advances in the expanding field of redox signalling. LINKED ARTICLES: This article is part of a themed section on Chemical Biology of Reactive Sulfur Species.

NCDs mainly comprise diabetes mellitus, cardiovascular diseases, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, cancer, and neurological degenerative diseases, which kill more than 80% of population, especially the elderly, worldwide. Recent Advances: Several recent theories established NCDs as multifactorial diseases, where a combination of genetic, epigenetic, and environmental factors contributes to their pathogenesis. Nevertheless, recent findings suggest that the common factor linking all these pathologies is an increase in oxidative stress and the age-related loss of the antioxidant mechanisms of defense against it. Impairment in mitochondrial homeostasis with consequent deregulation in oxidative stress balance has also been suggested. CRITICAL ISSUES Therefore, antioxidant proteins deserve particular attention for their potential role against NCDs. In particular, peroxiredoxin(Prdx)6 is a unique antioxidant enzyme, belonging to the Prdx family, with double properties, peroxidase and phospholipase activities. Through these activities, Prdx6 has been shown to be a powerful antioxidant enzyme, implicated in the pathogenesis of different NCDs. Recently, we described a phenotype of diabetes mellitus in Prdx6 knockout mice, suggesting a pivotal role of Prdx6 in the pathogenesis of cardiometabolic diseases. FUTURE DIRECTIONS Increasing awareness on the role of antioxidant defenses in the pathogenesis of NCDs may open novel therapeutic approaches to reduce the burden of this pandemic phenomenon. However, knowledge of the role of Prdx6 in NCD prevention and pathogenesis is still not clarified.

FEBS Lett 2018; 593:219-229. [PMID: 30488429 PMCID: PMC6590489 DOI: 10.1002/1873-3468.13302] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/07/2018] [Revised: 11/14/2018] [Accepted: 11/15/2018] [Indexed: 12/02/2022]
Abstract
Deinococcus radiodurans R1 is extremely resistant to ionizing radiation and oxidative stress. In this study, we characterized DR0846, a candidate peroxiredoxin in D. radiodurans. DR0846 is a peroxiredoxin Q containing two conserved cysteine residues. DR0846 exists mainly in monomeric form with an intramolecular disulfide bond between the two cysteine residues. We found that DR0846 functions as a molecular chaperone as well as a peroxidase. A mutational analysis indicates that the two cysteine residues are essential for enzymatic activity. A double‐deletion mutant lacking DR0846 and catalase DR1998 exhibits decreased oxidative and heat shock stress tolerance with respect to the single mutants or the wild‐type cells. These results suggest that DR0846 contributes to resistance against oxidative and heat stresses in D. radiodurans.

Abstract
Peroxiredoxin 6 (Prdx6, 1-cys peroxiredoxin) is a unique member of the peroxiredoxin family that, in contrast to other mammalian peroxiredoxins, lacks a resolving cysteine and uses glutathione and π glutathione S-transferase to complete its catalytic cycle. Prdx6 is also the only peroxiredoxin capable of reducing phospholipid hydroperoxides through its glutathione peroxidase (Gpx) activity. In addition to its peroxidase activity, Prdx6 expresses acidic calcium-independent phospholipase A2 (aiPLA2) and lysophosphatidylcholine acyl transferase (LPCAT) activities in separate catalytic sites. Prdx6 plays crucial roles in lung phospholipid metabolism, lipid peroxidation repair, and inflammatory signaling. Here, we review how the distinct activities of Prdx6 are regulated during physiological and pathological conditions, in addition to the role of Prdx6 in cellular signaling and disease.

Abstract
Peroxiredoxin 6 (Prdx6) is the only mammalian 1-Cys member of the Prdx family, a group of enzymes which share the ability to reduce peroxides. In addition to its peroxidase function, Prdx6 also demonstrates phospholipase A2 and lysophosphatidylcholine acyl transferase (LPCAT) activities. These enzymatic activities play an important role in regenerating oxidized membrane phospholipids and maintaining an appropriate balance of intracellular reactive oxygen species. Development of clinical pathologies, including those within the eye, have been linked to dysregulation of Prdx6 function. Interplay between external stressors like exposure to UV light, transforming growth factor β (TGF-β), and hyperglycemia in conjunction with diminished Prdx6 levels and loss of redox balance is associated with cellular changes in a variety of ophthalmic pathologies including cataracts, glaucoma, and retinal degeneration. Many of these cellular abnormalities can be rescued through supplementation with exogenous Prdx6. Additionally, corneal endothelial cells have been found to express high levels of Prdx6 in the plasma membrane. These findings highlight the importance of Prdx6 as an essential regulator of oxidative stress in the eye.

Abstract
Peroxiredoxins efficiently remove hydroperoxides and peroxynitrite in pro- and eukaryotes. However, isoforms of one subfamily of peroxiredoxins, the so-called Prx6-type enzymes, usually have very low activities in standard peroxidase assays in vitro. In contrast to other peroxiredoxins, Prx6 homologues share a conserved histidyl residue at the bottom of the active site. Here we addressed the role of this histidyl residue for redox catalysis using the Plasmodium falciparum homologue PfPrx6 as a model enzyme. Steady-state kinetics with tert-butyl hydroperoxide (tBuOOH) revealed that the histidyl residue is nonessential for Prx6 catalysis and that a replacement with tyrosine can even increase the enzyme activity four- to six-fold in vitro. Stopped-flow kinetics with reduced PfPrx6WT , PfPrx6C128A , and PfPrx6H39Y revealed a preference for H2 O2 as an oxidant with second order rate constants for H2 O2 and tBuOOH around 2.5 × 107 M-1 s-1 and 3 × 106 M-1 s-1 , respectively. Differences between the oxidation kinetics of PfPrx6WT , PfPrx6C128A , and PfPrx6H39Y were observed during a slower second-reaction phase. Our kinetic data support the interpretation that the reductive half-reaction is the rate-limiting step for PfPrx6 catalysis in steady-state measurements. Whether the increased activity of PfPrx6H39Y is caused by a facilitated enzyme reduction because of a destabilization of the fully folded enzyme conformation remains to be analyzed. In summary, the conserved histidyl residue of Prx6-type enzymes is non-essential for catalysis, PfPrx6 is rapidly oxidized by hydroperoxides, and the gain-of-function mutant PfPrx6H39Y might provide a valuable tool to address the influence of conformational changes on the reactivity of Prx6 homologues.
