Han JH, Joung KH, Lee JC, Kim OS, Choung S, Kim JM, Kang YE, Yi HS, Lee JH, Ku BJ, Kim HJ. Comparative Efficacy of Rosuvastatin Monotherapy and Rosuvastatin/Ezetimibe Combination Therapy on Insulin Sensitivity and Vascular Inflammatory Response in Patients with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus. Diabetes Metab J 2024; 48:112-121. [PMID: 38173371 PMCID: PMC10850282 DOI: 10.4093/dmj.2022.0402] [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: 11/17/2022] [Accepted: 05/19/2023] [Indexed: 01/05/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGRUOUND Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) induces endothelial dysfunction and inflammation, which are the main factors for atherosclerosis and cardiovascular disease. The present study aimed to compare the effects of rosuvastatin monotherapy and rosuvastatin/ezetimibe combination therapy on lipid profile, insulin sensitivity, and vascular inflammatory response in patients with T2DM. METHODS A total of 101 patients with T2DM and dyslipidemia were randomized to either rosuvastatin monotherapy (5 mg/day, n=47) or rosuvastatin/ezetimibe combination therapy (5 mg/10 mg/day, n=45) and treated for 12 weeks. Serum lipids, glucose, insulin, soluble intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (sICAM-1), and peroxiredoxin 4 (PRDX4) levels were determined before and after 12 weeks of treatment. RESULTS The reduction in low density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) by more than 50% from baseline after treatment was more in the combination therapy group. The serum sICAM-1 levels increased significantly in both groups, but there was no difference between the two groups. The significant changes in homeostasis model assessment of insulin resistance (HOMA-IR) and PRDX4 were confirmed only in the subgroup in which LDL-C was reduced by 50% or more in the combination therapy group. However, after adjusting for diabetes mellitus duration and hypertension, the changes in HOMA-IR and PRDX4 were not significant between the two groups. CONCLUSION Although rosuvastatin/ezetimibe combination therapy had a greater LDL-C reduction effect than rosuvastatin monotherapy, it had no additional effects on insulin sensitivity and vascular inflammatory response. Further studies are needed on the effect of long-term treatment with ezetimibe on insulin sensitivity and vascular inflammatory response.

Abstract
We recently developed a novel keratin-derived protein (KDP) rich in cysteine, glycine, and arginine, with the potential to alter tissue redox status and insulin sensitivity. The KDP was tested in 35 human adults with type-2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) in a 14-wk randomised controlled pilot trial comprising three 2×20 g supplemental protein/day arms: KDP-whey (KDPWHE), whey (WHEY), non-protein isocaloric control (CON), with standardised exercise. Outcomes were measured morning fasted and following insulin-stimulation (80 mU/m2/min hyperinsulinaemic-isoglycaemic clamp). With KDPWHE supplementation there was good and very-good evidence for moderate-sized increases in insulin-stimulated glucose clearance rate (GCR; 26%; 90% confidence limits, CL 2%, 49%) and skeletal-muscle microvascular blood flow (46%; 16%, 83%), respectively, and good evidence for increased insulin-stimulated sarcoplasmic GLUT4 translocation (18%; 0%, 39%) vs CON. In contrast, WHEY did not effect GCR (-2%; -25%, 21%) and attenuated HbA1c lowering (14%; 5%, 24%) vs CON. KDPWHE effects on basal glutathione in erythrocytes and skeletal muscle were unclear, but in muscle there was very-good evidence for large increases in oxidised peroxiredoxin isoform 2 (oxiPRX2) (19%; 2.2%, 35%) and good evidence for lower GPx1 concentrations (-40%; -4.3%, -63%) vs CON; insulin stimulation, however, attenuated the basal oxiPRX2 response (4%; -16%, 24%), and increased GPx1 (39%; -5%, 101%) and SOD1 (26%; -3%, 60%) protein expression. Effects of KDPWHE on oxiPRX3 and NRF2 content, phosphorylation of capillary eNOS and insulin-signalling proteins upstream of GLUT4 translocation AktSer437 and AS160Thr642 were inconclusive, but there was good evidence for increased IRSSer312 (41%; 3%, 95%), insulin-stimulated NFκB-DNA binding (46%; 3.4%, 105%), and basal PAK-1Thr423/2Thr402 phosphorylation (143%; 66%, 257%) vs WHEY. Our findings provide good evidence to suggest that dietary supplementation with a novel edible keratin protein in humans with T2DM may increase glucose clearance and modify skeletal-muscle tissue redox and insulin sensitivity within systems involving peroxiredoxins, antioxidant expression, and glucose uptake.

Abstract
Reactive oxygen species (ROS), such as hydrogen peroxide, are formed when molecular oxygen obtains additional electrons, increasing its reactivity. While low concentrations of hydrogen peroxide are necessary for regulation of normal cellular signaling events, high concentrations can be toxic. To maintain this balance between beneficial and deleterious concentrations of hydrogen peroxide, cells utilize antioxidants. Our recent work supports a primary role for peroxiredoxin, thioredoxin, and thioredoxin reductase as the oxidant defense pathway used by insulin-producing pancreatic β-cells. These three players work in an antioxidant cycle based on disulfide exchange, with oxidized targets ultimately being reduced using electrons provided by NADPH. Peroxiredoxins also participate in hydrogen peroxide-based signaling through disulfide exchange with redox-regulated target proteins. This chapter will describe the catalytic mechanisms of thioredoxin, thioredoxin reductase, and peroxiredoxin and provide an in-depth look at the roles these enzymes play in antioxidant defense pathways of insulin-secreting β-cells. Finally, we will evaluate the physiological relevance of peroxiredoxin-mediated hydrogen peroxide signaling as a regulator of β-cell function.

Abstract
CONTEXT Aberrant biosynthesis and secretion of the insulin precursor proinsulin occurs in both type I and type II diabetes. Inflammatory cytokines are implicated in pancreatic islet stress and dysfunction in both forms of diabetes, but the mechanisms remain unclear. OBJECTIVE We sought to determine the effect of the diabetes-associated cytokines on proinsulin folding, trafficking, secretion, and β-cell function. METHODS Human islets were treated with interleukin-1β and interferon-γ for 48 hours, followed by analysis of interleukin-6, nitrite, proinsulin and insulin release, RNA sequencing, and unbiased profiling of the proinsulin interactome by affinity purification-mass spectrometry. RESULTS Cytokine treatment induced secretion of interleukin-6, nitrites, and insulin, as well as aberrant release of proinsulin. RNA sequencing showed that cytokines upregulated genes involved in endoplasmic reticulum stress, and, consistent with this, affinity purification-mass spectrometry revealed cytokine induced proinsulin binding to multiple endoplasmic reticulum chaperones and oxidoreductases. Moreover, increased binding to the chaperone immunoglobulin binding protein was required to maintain proper proinsulin folding in the inflammatory environment. Cytokines also regulated novel interactions between proinsulin and type 1 and type 2 diabetes genome-wide association studies candidate proteins not previously known to interact with proinsulin (eg, Ataxin-2). Finally, cytokines induced proinsulin interactions with a cluster of microtubule motor proteins and chemical destabilization of microtubules with Nocodazole exacerbated cytokine induced proinsulin secretion. CONCLUSION Together, the data shed new light on mechanisms by which diabetes-associated cytokines dysregulate β-cell function. For the first time, we show that even short-term exposure to an inflammatory environment reshapes proinsulin interactions with critical chaperones and regulators of the secretory pathway.

Essential Roles of Peroxiredoxin IV in Inflammation and Cancer. Molecules 2022; 27:molecules27196513.

Abstract
Peroxiredoxin IV (Prx4) is a 2-Cysteine peroxidase with ubiquitous expression in human tissues. Prx4 scavenges hydrogen peroxide and participates in oxidative protein folding in the endoplasmic reticulum. In addition, Prx4 is secreted outside the cell. Prx4 is upregulated in several cancers and is a potential therapeutic target. We have summarized historical and recent advances in the structure, function and biological roles of Prx4, focusing on inflammatory diseases and cancer. Oxidative stress is known to activate pro-inflammatory pathways. Chronic inflammation is a risk factor for cancer development. Hence, redox enzymes such as Prx4 are important players in the crosstalk between inflammation and cancer. Understanding molecular mechanisms of regulation of Prx4 expression and associated signaling pathways in normal physiological and disease conditions should reveal new therapeutic strategies. Thus, although Prx4 is a promising therapeutic target for inflammatory diseases and cancer, further research needs to be conducted to bridge the gap to clinical application.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is associated with obesity and insulin resistance and can be improved after bariatric surgery. Circulating Peroxiredoxin 1 (Prdx1) protein was reported to regulate energy metabolism and inflammation. This study aimed to investigate the roles of serum prdx1 in NAFLD patients with obesity undergoing LSG and to develop a prognostic model to predict the remission of severe NAFLD. METHODS The data of 93 participants from a tertiary hospital were assessed. Before laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG) and three months after LSG, anthropometric parameters, laboratory biochemical data, and abdominal B-ultrasound results were collected, and their hepatic steatosis index (HSI) and triglyceride-glucose index (TyG) were calculated. A NAFLD improvement (NAFLD-I) nomogram prediction model was constructed using the least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO) regression and multiple regression, and its predictive ability was verified in a validation cohort. RESULTS The baseline Prdx1 (OR: 0.887, 95% CI: 0.816-0.963, p=0.004), preoperative TyG (OR: 8.207, 95% CI: 1.903-35.394, p=0.005) and HSI (OR: 0.861, 95% CI: 0.765-0.969, p=0.013) levels were independently associated with NAFLD-I at three months after LSG in NAFLD patients with obesity. In the primary and validation cohorts, the area under the receiver operating characteristic (AUC) of the developed nomogram model was 0.891 and 0.878, respectively. The preoperative circulating Prdx1 levels of NAFLD patients with obesity were significantly reduced after LSG (25.32 [18.99-30.88] vs. 23.34 [15.86-26.42], p=0.001). Prdx1 was related to obesity and hepatic steatosis based on correlation analysis. CONCLUSION The nomogram based on preoperative serum prdx1, HSI and TyG could be an effective tool for predicting remission of severe NAFLD after LSG.

Abstract
In this review, we discuss the pathogenesis of some socially significant diseases associated with the development of oxidative stress, such as atherosclerosis, diabetes, and radiation sickness, as well as the possibilities of the therapeutic application of low-molecular-weight natural and synthetic antioxidants for the correction of free radical-induced pathologies. The main focus of this review is the role of two phylogenetically close families of hydroperoxide-reducing antioxidant enzymes peroxiredoxins and glutathione peroxidases - in counteracting oxidative stress. We also present examples of the application of exogenous recombinant antioxidant enzymes as therapeutic agents in the treatment of pathologies associated with free-radical processes and discuss the prospects of the therapeutic use of exogenous antioxidant enzymes, as well as the ways to improve their therapeutic properties.

Abstract
The scorpions, named Mesobuthus martensii, commonly called Quanxie (全蝎) in Chinese, have been widely used as one of the animal medicines for more than 1,000 years because of the strong toxicity of their venoms. Meanwhile, scorpions are sexually dimorphic in appearance, and many exhibit traits associated with sex-biased gene expression, including maternal care, mating competition, female mating choices, ecology, and even venom composition and lethality. This study aims to explore the differences in composition of the venom of scorpions of different sex using the method of transcriptomics. Whole de novo transcriptomes were performed on the samples of M. martensii captured from Gansu Province to identify their sex-biased gene expression. The conserved CO-1 sequences of the captured samples matched that of M. martensii. A total of 8,444 (35.15%), 7,636 (31.78%), 8,510 (35.42%), 7,840 (32.63%), 9,980 (41.54%), and 11,829 (49.23%) unigenes were annotated with GO, KEGG, Pfam, Swissprot, eggNOG, and NR databases. Moreover, a total of 43 metalloproteases, 40 potassium channel toxins, 24 phospholipases, 12 defensins, 10 peroxiredoxins, 9 cysteine proteinase inhibitors, 7 serine protease inhibitors, 6 sodium channel toxins, 2 NDBPs, 1 calcium channel toxin, 1 waprin-like peptide, 1 antibacterial peptide, 1 antimicrobial peptide, and 1 anticoagulant peptide were screened out. With the fold change of 2 and 0.5, p value < 0.01, and q value < 0.05 as thresholds, a total of 41 out of 157 (26.11%) toxin-related unigenes had significant differential expression, and this ratio was much higher than the ratio of differentially expressed unigenes out of all annotated ones (8.84%). Of these differentially expressed toxins, 28 were upregulated and occupied the majority, up to 68.30%. The female scorpions showed more upregulated unigenes that annotated with toxins and had the potential to be used as more effective therapeutic drugs. In addition, this method of omics can be further used as a useful way to identify the difference between female and male toxic animals.

Abstract
Diabetic cardiomyopathy (DCM), one severe complication in the diabetes, leads to high mortality in the diabetic patients. However, the understanding of molecular mechanisms underlying DCM is far from completion. Herein, we investigated the disease-related differences in the proteomes of DCM based on db/db mice and verified the protective roles of peroxiredoxin-4 (Prdx4) in H9c2 cardiomyocytes treated by palmitic acid (PA). Fasting blood glucose (FBG) and cardiac function was detected in the 6-month-old control and diabetic mice. The hearts were then collected and analyzed by a coupled label-free and mass spectrometry approach. In vivo investigation indicated that body weight and FBG of db/db mice markedly increased, and diabetic heart exhibited obvious cardiac hypertrophy and lipid droplet accumulation, and cardiac dysfunction as is indicated by the increases of left ventricle posterior wall thickness in systole (LVPWd) and diastole (LVPWs), and reduction of fractional shortening (FS). We used proteomic analysis and then detected a grand total of 2636 proteins. 175 differentially expressed proteins (DEPs) were markedly detected in the diabetic heart. Thereinto, Prdx4 was markedly down-regulated in the diabetic heart. In vitro experiments revealed that 250 μM PA significantly inhibited viability of H9c2 cell. PA induced much accumulation of lipid droplet in cardiomyocytes and resulted in an increase of mRNA expressions of lipogenic genes (FASN and SCD1) and cardiac hypertrophic genes. Additionally, protein level of Prdx4 evidently reduced in the PA-treated H9c2 cell. It was further found that shRNA-mediated Prdx4 knockdown exacerbated PA-induced oxidative stress and cardiomyocyte apoptosis, whereas overexpressing Prdx4 in the H9c2 cells noteworthily limited PA-induced ROS generation and cardiomyocytes apoptosis. These data collectively reveal the essential role of abnormal Prdx4 in pathological alteration of DCM, and provide potentially therapeutic target for the prevention of DCM.

Ischemic stroke is a leading cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide, with oxidative stress playing a key role in the injury mechanism of thrombolytic therapy. There is increasing evidence that oxidative stress damages endothelial cells (ECs), degrades tight junction proteins (TJs), and contributes to increased blood-brain barrier (BBB) permeability. It has been demonstrated that the breakdown of BBB could increase the risk of intracerebral hemorrhagic transformation in ischemic stroke. And an episode of cerebral ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) also initiates oxidative stress-mediated inflammatory processes in ECs, which further promotes BBB disruption and the progression of brain injury. Previous studies have revealed that antioxidants could inhibit ROS generation and attenuate BBB disruption after cerebral I/R. Peroxiredoxin 4 (Prx4) is a member of the antioxidant enzymes family (Prx1-6) and has been characterized to be an efficient H2O2 scavenger. It should be noted that Prx4 may be directly involved in the protection of ECs from the effects of ROS and function in ECs as a membrane-associated peroxidase. This paper reviewed the implication of Prx4 on vascular integrity and neuroinflammation following a cerebral I/R injury.

Abstract
Peroxiredoxin (Prx) refers to a family of thiol-dependent peroxidases that decompose hydrogen peroxide, lipid hydroperoxides, as well as peroxynitrite, and protect against oxidative and inflammatory stress. There are six mammalian Prx isozymes (Prx1-6), classified as typical 2-Cys, atypical 2-Cys, or 1-Cys Prxs based on the mechanism and the number of cysteine residues involved during catalysis. In addition to their well-established peroxide-scavenging activity, some Prxs also participate in the regulation of various cell signaling pathways. Extensive animal studies employing primarily gene knockout models provide substantial evidence supporting a critical protective role of Prxs in various disease processes involving oxidative and inflammatory stress. This review surveys recent research findings, published primarily in influential journals, on the involvement of various Prx isozymes in protecting against cardiovascular injury and related disorders, including diabetes, metabolic syndromes, and sepsis, whose pathophysiology all intimately involves oxidative stress and inflammation.

Abstract
Oxidative stress is hypothesized to play a role in pancreatic β-cell damage, potentially contributing to β-cell dysfunction and death in both type 1 and type 2 diabetes. Oxidative stress arises when naturally occurring reactive oxygen species (ROS) are produced at levels that overwhelm the antioxidant capacity of the cell. ROS, including superoxide and hydrogen peroxide, are primarily produced by electron leak during mitochondrial oxidative metabolism. Additionally, peroxynitrite, an oxidant generated by the reaction of superoxide and nitric oxide, may also cause β-cell damage during autoimmune destruction of these cells. β-cells are thought to be susceptible to oxidative damage based on reports that they express low levels of antioxidant enzymes compared to other tissues. Furthermore, markers of oxidative damage are observed in islets from diabetic rodent models and human patients. However, recent studies have demonstrated high expression of various isoforms of peroxiredoxins, thioredoxin, and thioredoxin reductase in β-cells and have provided experimental evidence supporting a role for these enzymes in promoting β-cell function and survival in response to a variety of oxidative stressors. This mini-review will focus on the mechanism by which thioredoxins and peroxiredoxins detoxify ROS and on the protective roles of these enzymes in β-cells. Additionally, we speculate about the role of this antioxidant system in promoting insulin secretion.

Overexpression of PRDX4 Modulates Tumor Microenvironment and Promotes Urethane-Induced Lung Tumorigenesis. OXIDATIVE MEDICINE AND CELLULAR LONGEVITY 2020; 2020:8262730.

Abstract
Peroxiredoxin 4 (PRDX4), initially reported as an antioxidant, is overexpressed in lung cancer and participates in its progression. However, its role in the urethane-induced lung tumor model is undetermined. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of PRDX4 overexpression on carcinogen-induced lung tumor development. Human PRDX4 overexpression transgenic (Tg) mice (hPRDX4+/+) and non-Tg mice were intraperitoneally injected with urethane to induce lung tumor. After 6 months, tumor formation was compared between groups and possible mechanisms for the difference in tumor development were investigated. The serum and lung PRDX4 expressions were enhanced after urethane stimulation in Tg mice. Both the average number of tumors (≥0.5 mm) and tumor diameter per mouse in the Tg group were significantly larger than in non-Tg controls, while body weight was lower in the Tg group. Compared with non-Tg controls, tumor cell proliferation was enhanced, while tumor cell apoptosis was suppressed in Tg mice. Systemic oxidative stress and oxidative stress in lung tumors were inhibited by PRDX4 overexpression. The balance of prooxidant enzymes and antioxidant enzymes was also shifted to a decreased level in Tg tumor. In lung tumor tissue, the density of microvessel penetrated into tumor was higher in the Tg group; macrophage infiltration was enhanced in Tg tumors, while there was no difference in T lymphocyte infiltration; the expressions of cytokines, including interleukin-1 beta (IL-1β) and matrix metallopeptidase 9 (MMP9), were elevated in Tg tumors, which resulted from enhanced phosphorylation of nuclear factor-κB p65 (NF-κB p65) and c-Jun, respectively. In conclusion, PRDX4 overexpression modulated tumor microenvironment and promoted tumor development in the mouse urethane-induced lung cancer model.

Abstract
Oxidative stress and inflammation lead to cell damage and are implicated in many disease states. High concentrations of hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) may mediate cells apoptosis by increasing intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS) levels. In this study, we established a LYCK-PrxIV cell line (large yellow croaker head kidney cell line stably expressing peroxiredoxin IV). The level of nitric oxide (NO), superoxide anion and hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) in this LYCK-PrxIV cells were significantly lower than those in control cells of LYCK-pcDNA3.1 (LYCK cell line stably transfected by pcDNA3.1 vector). Additionally, when exposed to H2O2, cell apoptosis was significantly alleviated in LYCK-PrxIV than in control cells. Meanwhile, the ROS level and ATP content were maintained more stable in LYCK-PrxIV than in LYCK-pcDNA3.1. The over-expression of LcPrxIV in LYCK-PrxIV cells induced a declined mRNA expression of LcCXC, LcCC, LcIL-8 and LcTNF-α2, as well as an increase of LcIL-10 mRNA expression, when compared to LYCK-pcDNA3.1. On the other hand, the expression of chemokine LcCXC, LcCC and LcTNF-a2 increased in LYCK-pcDNA3.1 after H2O2 stimulation, while that of LcIL-8 and LcIL-10 decreased. The regualtion of gene expression in LYCK-PrxIV cells was almost the same as that in LYCK-pcDNA3.1, but the change fold was much more moderate. These results suggest that LcPrxIV may be an indispensable ROS scavenger protecting LYCK cells against oxidative damage as well as the subsequent apoptosis and inflammatory response, which provides a clue that LcPrxIV may be an assist in fish immune response.

Abstract
Background Peroxiredoxin 4 (Prdx4), a member of the Prdx family, can catalyze the reduction of reactive oxygen species. This study aims to explore whether Prdx4 can serve as an effective marker in follicular fluid (FF) for predicting in vitro fertilization/intracytoplasmic sperm injection (IVF/ICSI) cycle outcomes. Methods In this prospective study, all participants were recruited from the center of clinical reproductive medicine from 2017 September to 2018 December. Women with tubal or male factor infertility undergoing their first IVF/ICSI cycle were recruited (n=138). FF samples from each patient were collected on the day of oocyte retrieval. Prdx4 concentrations were measured, and the correlation between Prdx4 levels and IVF outcomes was analyzed. Results The results showed that pregnant women had higher levels of Prdx4 than nonpregnant women. Prdx4 was positively correlated with the oocyte fertilization rate (r =0.334; P=0.011) and good quality embryo rate (r =0.326; P=0.013). Furthermore, we found that the clinical pregnancy rate was positively correlated with Prdx4 levels in a concentration-dependent manner in the Prdx4 quartiles (<13.38, 13.83–16.93, 16.93–22.93, >22.93 ng/mL). The fertilization rates, clinical pregnancy rates and live pregnancy rates were all significantly higher in the highest Prdx4 quartile group than in the lowest quartile. Moreover, the results indicated that Prdx4 had an area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC) of 0.754, corresponding to an optimal cutoff point of 22.30 ng/mL. Conclusions Our results provide evidence that higher expression of antioxidants, such as Prdx4, in the FF of IVF patients tends to indicate a higher likelihood of pregnancy through an oocyte quality mechanism.

Abstract
The β-cell protein synthetic machinery is dedicated to the production of mature insulin, which requires the proper folding and trafficking of its precursor, proinsulin. The complete network of proteins that mediate proinsulin folding and advancement through the secretory pathway, however, remains poorly defined. Here we used affinity purification and mass spectrometry to identify, for the first time, the proinsulin biosynthetic interaction network in human islets. Stringent analysis established a central node of proinsulin interactions with endoplasmic reticulum (ER) folding factors, including chaperones and oxidoreductases, that is remarkably conserved in both sexes and across three ethnicities. The ER-localized peroxiredoxin PRDX4 was identified as a prominent proinsulin-interacting protein. In β-cells, gene silencing of PRDX4 rendered proinsulin susceptible to misfolding, particularly in response to oxidative stress, while exogenous PRDX4 improved proinsulin folding. Moreover, proinsulin misfolding induced by oxidative stress or high glucose was accompanied by sulfonylation of PRDX4, a modification known to inactivate peroxiredoxins. Notably, islets from patients with type 2 diabetes (T2D) exhibited significantly higher levels of sulfonylated PRDX4 than islets from healthy individuals. In conclusion, we have generated the first reference map of the human proinsulin interactome to identify critical factors controlling insulin biosynthesis, β-cell function, and T2D.

Abstract
We thank Ahmed et al. for their letter regarding our study 'Galectin-3 down-regulates antioxidant peroxiredoxin-4 in human cardiac fibroblasts' [1]. As emphasized by Ahmed et al., Prx-4 levels decrease [2] whereas MFN-2, OPA-1 and PGC-1α levels increase [3] in dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM). Moreover, Gal-3 expression is also increased in DCM [4]. In our study, we showed in vitro that Gal-3 decreased Prx-4 without modifying MFN-2 or PGC-1α levels in human cardiac fibroblasts. Although cardiac Prx-4 decrease could be a direct consequence of Gal-3 effects on cardiac fibroblasts, we cannot exclude the possibility that other factors increase MFN-2, OPA-1 and PGC-1α levels in both cardiac fibroblasts or cardiomyocytes in the context of DCM. Further studies are needed to clarify the association between Prx-4 decrease and the increase in other mitochondrial proteins in DCM.

Abstract
Background Acute exacerbation of idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (AE-IPF) is life-threatening. Several serum biomarkers, such as Krebs von den Lungen-6 (KL-6) and surfactant protein D (SP-D), are clinically used for evaluating AE-IPF, but these biomarkers are not adequate for establishing an early and accurate diagnosis of AE-IPF. Recently, the protective roles of the members of the peroxiredoxin (PRDX) family have been reported in IPF; however, the role of PRDX4 in AE-IPF is unclear. Methods Serum levels of PRDX4 protein, KL-6, SP-D and lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) in 51 patients with stable IPF (S-IPF), 38 patients with AE-IPF and 15 healthy volunteers were retrospectively assessed using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. Moreover, as an animal model of pulmonary fibrosis, wild-type (WT) and PRDX4-transgenic (Tg) mice were intratracheally administered with bleomycin (BLM, 2 mg/kg), and fibrotic and inflammatory changes in lungs were evaluated 3 weeks after the intratracheal administration. Results Serum levels of PRDX4 protein, KL-6, SP-D and LDH in patients with S-IPF and AE-IPF were significantly higher than those in healthy volunteers, and those in AE-IPF patients were the highest among the three groups. Using receiver operating characteristic curves, area under the curve values of serum PRDX4 protein, KL-6, SP-D, and LDH for detecting AE-IPF were 0.873, 0.698, 0.675, and 0.906, respectively. BLM-treated Tg mice demonstrated aggravated histopathological findings and poor prognosis compared with BLM-treated WT mice. Moreover, PRDX4 expression was observed in alveolar macrophages and lung epithelial cells of BLM-treated Tg mice. Conclusions PRDX4 is associated with the aggravation of inflammatory changes and fibrosis in the pathogenesis of IPF, and serum PRDX4 may be useful in clinical practice of IPF patients.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIMS Peroxiredoxin 4 (PRDX4), a secretory protein that is preferentially retained in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER), is encoded by a gene located on the X chromosome and highly expressed in colonic tissue. In this study, we investigated the role of PRDX4 by means of male PRDX4-knockout (PRDX4-/y) mice in the development of intestinal inflammation using a dextran sulfate sodium (DSS)-induced colitis model. MATERIALS AND METHODS Acute colitis was induced with DSS (2.5% in drinking water) in wild-type (WT) and PRDX4-/y male C57BL/6 mice. Histological and biochemical analyses were performed on the colonic tissues. RESULTS PRDX4 was mainly localized in the colonic epithelial cells in WT mice. The disease activity index (DAI) scores of PRDX4-/y mice were significantly higher compared to those of WT mice. Specifically, PRDX4-/y mice showed marked body weight loss and shortening of colon length compared to WT mice, whereas the myeloperoxidase levels were increased in PRDX4-/y compared to WT mice. In addition, the mRNA expression levels of TNF-α and IFN-γ were significantly higher in the colonic mucosa of PRDX4-/y compared to WT mice. Moreover, the levels of CHOP and activated caspase 3 were higher in the colonic tissues of PRDX4-/y compared to WT mice following treatment with DSS. The ER also showed greater expansion in PRDX4-/y than WT mice, which was consistent with severe ER stress under PRDX4 deficiency. CONCLUSION Our results demonstrated that the lack of PRDX4 aggravated the colonic mucosal damage induced by DSS. Because PRDX4 functions as an ER thiol oxidase as well as an antioxidant, DSS induced oxidative damage and ER stress to a greater degree in PRDX4-/y than WT mice. These findings suggest that PRDX4 may represent a novel therapeutic molecule in intestinal inflammation.

Abstract
AIMS Peroxiredoxin 4 (PRDX4) is a member of the peroxiredoxin family of antioxidant enzymes. Previously, we reported that PRDX4 can restrain the initiation and progression of nonalcoholic steatohepatitis by reducing local and systemic reactive oxygen species (ROS) levels. Oxidative stress is recognized as a key factor in hepatocarcinogenesis, and a high ROS level has also been found in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Here, our aim is to investigate roles of PRDX4 in the initiation and progression of HCC. RESULTS In this study, for hepatocarcinogenesis, wild-type (WT), PRDX4 knockout (PRDX4-/y), and human PRDX4 transgenic (hPRDX4+/+) mice were given a weekly intraperitoneal injection of diethylnitrosamine for 25 weeks. The HCC incidence was higher in PRDX4-/y mice than in WT or hPRDX4+/+ mice. Intrahepatic and circulating oxidative stress and inflammatory cell infiltration in the liver were obviously decreased in hPRDX4+/+ mice, compared with WT mice. Furthermore, in our cohort study, human HCC specimens with low expression of PRDX4 had higher ROS levels and a highly malignant phenotype, which was associated with a reduced overall survival, compared with those with high PRDX4 expression. However, in human HCC cell lines, PRDX4 knockdown led to a rapidly increased intracellular ROS level and suppressed cell proliferation, inducing cell death. Innovation and Conclusion: Our results clearly indicate that PRDX4 has an inhibitory effect in the initiation of HCC, but a dual (inhibitory or promoting) role in the progression of HCC, suggesting the potential utility of PRDX4 activators or inhibitors as therapy for different stages and phenotypes of HCC.

Abstract
Background: Oxidative stress plays key roles in the progression of lung adenocarcinoma. Recently, we reported that peroxiredoxin 4 (PRDX4), an antioxidant enzyme, can be a prognostic marker of lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD). In the present study, we aimed to further investigate the relationship among the PRDX4 expression, epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) mutations and cell proliferation in LUAD. Methods: The expression of PRDX4 was immunohistochemically analyzed and the EGFR mutation status was examined in 127 paraffin-embedded human surgical specimens from patients with stage I LUAD. The PRDX4 expression was considered to be high when >40% of the adenocarcinoma cells were positively stained. In vitro, using plasmid transfection methods, PRDX4 plasmid DNAs were transfected into human lung adenocarcinoma cell lines, A549 (EGFR-wild) or PC-9 (EGFR mutant). The viability of these cells was analyzed using a Cell Counting Kit-8 kit. Results: The number of cases with high PRDX4 expression levels among patients with LUAD with EGFR mutations was significantly larger than that in patients with EGFR wild-type. The combination of the PRDX4 expression level with the EGFR mutation status was closely associated with the prognosis of patients with stage I LUAD. Viability assays showed that the proliferation of A549 cells was significantly suppressed after PRDX4 plasmid transfection, while the overexpression of PRDX4 had no effect on the proliferation of EGFR-mutant PC-9 cells. Conclusions: The PRDX4 expression and EGFR mutation status were significantly associated with the prognosis of patients with stage I LUAD, and EGFR mutations affected the role of PRDX4 in the proliferation of LUAD cells.

Abstract
SIGNIFICANCE Peroxiredoxins (Prxs), a family of thiol-associated peroxidases, are purported to play a major role in sensing and managing hydrogen peroxide concentrations and transducing peroxide-derived signals. Recent Advances: Prxs can act as detoxifying factors and impart effects to cells that can be either sparing or suicidal. Advances have been made to address the qualitative changes in Prx function in response to quantitative changes in the signal level and to understand how Prx activity could be affected by their own substrates. Here we rationalize the basis for both positive and negative effects on signaling pathways and cell physiology, summarizing data from model organisms, including invertebrates. CRITICAL ISSUES Resolving the relationship between the promiscuous behavior of reactive oxygen species and the specificity of Prxs toward different targets in redox-sensitive signaling pathways is a key area of research. Attempts to understand Prx function and underlying mechanisms were conducted in vitro or in vivo under nonphysiological conditions, leaving the physiological relevance yet to be defined. Other issues: Why despite the high degree of homology and similarities in subcellular and tissue distribution between Prxs do they display differential effects on signaling? How is the specificity of post-translational protein modifications determined? Other than chaperone-like activity, how do hyperoxidized Prxs function? FUTURE DIRECTIONS Genetic models with mutated catalytic and resolving cysteines should be further exploited to dissect the functional significance of individual Prxs in their different states together with their alternative reducing partners. Such an analysis may then be extended to help identify Prx-specific targets.

Abstract
Reactive oxygen species (ROS) are produced during normal physiologic processes with the consumption of oxygen. While ROS play signaling roles, when they are produced in excess beyond normal antioxidative capacity this can cause pathogenic damage to cells. The majority of such oxidation occurs in polyunsaturated fatty acids and sulfhydryl group in proteins, resulting in lipid peroxidation and protein misfolding, respectively. The accumulation of misfolded proteins in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) is enhanced under conditions of oxidative stress and results in ER stress, which, together, leads to the malfunction of cellular homeostasis. Multiple types of defensive machinery are activated in unfolded protein response under ER stress to resolve this unfavorable situation. ER stress triggers the malfunction of protein secretion and is associated with a variety of pathogenic conditions including defective insulin secretion from pancreatic β-cells and accelerated lipid droplet formation in hepatocytes. Herein we use nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) as an illustration of such pathological liver conditions that result from ER stress in association with oxidative stress. Protecting the ER by eliminating excessive ROS via the administration of antioxidants or by enhancing lipid-metabolizing capacity via the activation of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptors represent promising therapeutics for NAFLD.

Abstract
Insulin synthesis in pancreatic β-cells is initiated as preproinsulin. Prevailing glucose concentrations, which oscillate pre- and postprandially, exert major dynamic variation in preproinsulin biosynthesis. Accompanying upregulated translation of the insulin precursor includes elements of the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) translocation apparatus linked to successful orientation of the signal peptide, translocation and signal peptide cleavage of preproinsulin-all of which are necessary to initiate the pathway of proper proinsulin folding. Evolutionary pressures on the primary structure of proinsulin itself have preserved the efficiency of folding ("foldability"), and remarkably, these evolutionary pressures are distinct from those protecting the ultimate biological activity of insulin. Proinsulin foldability is manifest in the ER, in which the local environment is designed to assist in the overall load of proinsulin folding and to favour its disulphide bond formation (while limiting misfolding), all of which is closely tuned to ER stress response pathways that have complex (beneficial, as well as potentially damaging) effects on pancreatic β-cells. Proinsulin misfolding may occur as a consequence of exuberant proinsulin biosynthetic load in the ER, proinsulin coding sequence mutations, or genetic predispositions that lead to an altered ER folding environment. Proinsulin misfolding is a phenotype that is very much linked to deficient insulin production and diabetes, as is seen in a variety of contexts: rodent models bearing proinsulin-misfolding mutants, human patients with Mutant INS-gene-induced Diabetes of Youth (MIDY), animal models and human patients bearing mutations in critical ER resident proteins, and, quite possibly, in more common variety type 2 diabetes.

Abstract
Accumulating evidence indicates that oxidative stress plays a critical role in initiating the progression of inflammatory and fibrotic liver diseases, including cholestatic hepatitis. Peroxiredoxin 4 (PRDX4) is a secretory antioxidase that protects against oxidative damage by scavenging reactive oxygen species (ROS) in both the intracellular compartments and extracellular space. In this study, we examined the in vivo net effects of PRDX4 overexpression in a murine model of cholestasis. To induce cholestatic liver injury, we subjected C57BL/6J wild-type (WT) or human PRDX4 (hPRDX4) transgenic (Tg) mice to sham or bile duct ligation (BDL) surgery for seven days. Our results showed that the liver necrosis area was significantly suppressed in Tg BDL mice with a reduction in the severity of liver injuries. Furthermore, PRDX4 overexpression markedly reduced local and systemic oxidative stress generated by BDL. In addition, suppression of inflammatory cell infiltration, reduced proliferation of hepatocytes and intrahepatic bile ducts, and less fibrosis were also found in the liver of Tg BDL mice, along with a reduced mortality rate after BDL surgery. Interestingly, the composition of the hepatic bile acids (BAs) was more beneficial for Tg BDL mice than for WT BDL mice, suggesting that PRDX4 overexpression may affect BA metabolism during cholestasis. These features indicate that PRDX4 plays an important role in protecting against liver injury following BDL and might be a promising therapeutic modality for cholestatic diseases.

Galectin-3 down-regulates antioxidant peroxiredoxin-4 in human cardiac fibroblasts: a new pathway to induce cardiac damage. Clin Sci (Lond) 2018; 132:1471-1485.

Abstract
Galectin-3 (Gal-3) is increased in heart failure (HF) and promotes cardiac fibrosis and inflammation. We investigated whether Gal-3 modulates oxidative stress in human cardiac fibroblasts, in experimental animal models and in human aortic stenosis (AS). Using proteomics and immunodetection approaches, we have identified that Gal-3 down-regulated the antioxidant peroxiredoxin-4 (Prx-4) in cardiac fibroblasts. In parallel, Gal-3 increased peroxide, nitrotyrosine, malondialdehyde, and N-carboxymethyl-lysine levels and decreased total antioxidant capacity. Gal-3 decreased prohibitin-2 expression without modifying other mitochondrial proteins. Prx-4 silencing increased oxidative stress markers. In Gal-3-silenced cells and in heart from Gal-3 knockout mice, Prx-4 was increased and oxidative stress markers were decreased. Pharmacological inhibition of Gal-3 with modified citrus pectin restored cardiac Prx-4 as well as prohibitin-2 levels and improved oxidative status in spontaneously hypertensive rats. In serum from 87 patients with AS, Gal-3 negatively correlated with total antioxidant capacity and positively correlated with peroxide. In myocardial biopsies from 26 AS patients, Gal-3 up-regulation paralleled a decrease in Prx-4 and in prohibitin-2. Cardiac Gal-3 inversely correlated with Prx-4 levels in myocardial biopsies. These data suggest that Gal-3 decreased Prx-4 antioxidant system in cardiac fibroblasts, increasing oxidative stress. In pathological models presenting enhanced cardiac Gal-3, the decrease in Prx-4 expression paralleled increased oxidative stress. Gal-3 blockade restored Prx-4 expression and improved oxidative stress status. In AS, circulating levels of Gal-3 could reflect oxidative stress. The alteration of the balance between antioxidant systems and reactive oxygen species production could be a new pathogenic mechanism by which Gal-3 induces cardiac damage in HF.

Abstract
Background: Oxidative stress plays pivotal roles in the progression of lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD) through cell signaling related closely to cancer growth. We previously reported that peroxiredoxin 4 (PRDX4), a secretory-type antioxidant enzyme, can protect against the development of various diseases, including potential malignancies. Since many patients with early-stage LUAD develop recurrence, even after curative complete resection, we investigated the association of the PRDX4 expression with the clinicopathological features and recurrence/prognosis using post-surgical samples of stage I-LUAD. Methods: The expression of PRDX4 and MIB-1, a widely accepted Ki67 protein, was immunohistochemically analysed in 206 paraffin-embedded tumour specimens of patients with stage I-LUAD. The PRDX4 expression was considered to be weak when less than 25% of the adenocarcinoma cells showed positive staining. Results: A weak PRDX4+ expression demonstrated a significantly close relationship with pathologically poor differentiation, highly invasive characteristics and recurrence. The decrease in PRDX4-positivity potentially induced cell growth in LUAD, which was correlated significantly with a very high MIB-1 labelling index (≥17.3%). Univariate/multivariate analyses revealed that the subjects with both weak PRDX4+ expression and a very high MIB-1 index had significantly worse disease-free survival rates than other subjects. Conclusions: The combination of weak PRDX4 expression and a very high MIB-1 index can predict high proliferating activity and recurrence with a potential poor prognosis, especially in post-operative stage I-LUAD patients.

Abstract
Ticks are obligate hematophagous ectoparasites, as they need to feed blood from vertebrate hosts for development. Host blood contains high levels of iron. Host-derived iron may lead to high levels of reactive oxygen species (ROS), including hydrogen peroxide (H2O2). Since a high concentration of H2O2 causes serious damage to organisms, this molecule is known to be a harmful chemical compound for aerobic organisms. On the other hand, the transparent method is compatible with chemical fluorescent probes. Therefore, we tried to establish the visualizing method for H2O2 in unfed tick tissues. The combination method of a chemical fluorescent probe (BES-H2O2-Ac) with the transparent method, Scale, demonstrated in unfed tick tissues that H2O2 and paraquat could induce oxidative stress in the tissues, such as the midgut and ovary. In addition, an H2O2 detection method using BES-H2O2-Ac was established in Ixodes scapularis embryo-derived cell line (ISE6) in vitro to evaluate the antioxidant activity of peroxiredoxins (PRXs), H2O2 scavenging enzymes, against H2O2 in the cells. The effects of paraquat in ISE6 cells were also observed in the PRXs gene-silenced ISE6 cells. A high intensity of H2O2 fluorescence induced by paraquat was observed in the PRX gene-knockdowned cells. These results suggest that H2O2 and paraquat act as an H2O2 inducer, and PRX genes are important for the regulation of the H2O2 concentration in unfed ticks and ISE6 cells. Therefore, this study contributes to the search for H2O2 visualization in ticks and tick cell line and furthers understanding of the tick's oxidative stress induced by H2O2.

Abstract
Peroxiredoxins (Prxs) belong to the superfamily of thiol-dependent peroxidases, and remove reactive oxygen species (ROS) and other oxidative stress products. The expression and activity of Prxs can be substantially affected by stimuli from the microenvironment, and in turn regulate cytokine secretion in the context of inflammation in both peroxidase-dependent and -independent pathways. Prxs translocate to mitochondria and are hyperoxidized during acute liver damage, and attenuate intracellular ROS accumulation through their peroxidase activity. In particularly, Prx1 modulates the microenvironment in liver injuries by reducing adhesion molecule expression in vascular endothelial cells and inhibiting the inflammatory response and adhesion of macrophages. Prxs have potent prosurvival effects against ROS in ischemic/reperfusion (I/R) injury, but Prxs released from necrotic cells increase secretion of inflammatory cytokines by macrophages through TLR2 and 4 activation, which promotes cell death. Prxs can be used as biomarkers to evaluate I/R injury and predict graft survival in liver transplantation. Prxs are modulated in various types of chronic hepatitis and hepatosteatosis, and mediate disease progression. Alcohol administration increases oxidization and inactivation of Prxs in mice because of oxidative stress. In conclusion, Prxs are essential mediators and biomarkers in inflammatory liver diseases and I/R injury.

Abstract
The occurrence of tongue squamous cell carcinoma (TSCC) is closely correlated with serum components; however, the detailed mechanism remains to be fully elucidated. Proteomic analysis contributed to the discovery of potential biomarkers and provided an insight into TSCC at a molecular level. The present study investigated the effect of serum deprivation on the Tca‑8113 TSCC cell line through protein profiling using two‑dimensional gel electrophoresis and mass spectrometry, with the aim of improving TSCC diagnosis. The results showed that the Tca‑8113 cells maintained proliferative capacity and resisted apoptosis following serum deprivation. A total of 43 proteins were upregulated and 45 were downregulated following serum deprivation for 24 h, compared with untreated controls (0 h). The upregulated caspase-7, heat shock protein 27 and Annexin A1, and the downregulated peroxiredoxin‑6 and heat shock protein 70, were selected for verification using reverse transcription‑polymerase chain reaction analysis following serum deprivation for 16 h. The results indicated that reactive oxygen species may be important in serum deprivation‑induced oxidative stress.

Abstract
The endocrine disruptor bisphenol A (BPA) is well known for its adverse effect on male fertility. Growing evidence suggests that BPA may interact with testicular germ cells and cause infertility as a result of its estrogenic activity. Objective of current in vitro study was to investigate the proliferation, survivability and stemness properties of mouse testicular germ cells exposed to BPA, and to evaluate possible expression of cellular proteome. Our results showed that germ cell viability and proliferation were not affected by low concentrations (0.01, 0.1, 1, and 10 µM) although significant reduction observed at 100 µM BPA. Germ cell self-renewal and differentiation related marker proteins expression found unchanged at those concentrations. When BPA-exposed germ cells were transplanted into recipient testes, we observed fewer colonies at higher concentrations (10 and 100 µM). Additionally, a significant frequency of recombination failure during meiosis was observed in 10 µM BPA-exposed germ cell transplanted recipient. Moreover, experiment on continuous BPA-exposed and 100 µM BPA-recovered germ cells suggested that spermatogonial stem cells are more potential to survive in adverse environment. Finally, scrutinizing differentially expressed cellular proteins resulted from our proteomic analysis, we conclude that BPA exposure might be associated with several health risks and infertility.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Chondrocytes apoptosis induced by reactive oxygen species (ROS) plays a critical role in the pathogenesis of osteoarthritis (OA). Peroxiredoxin 4 (PRDX4), a member of the PRDX family, is essential for removing metabolic free radicals and reducing intracellular ROS. In this study, we sought to investigate the roles of PRDX4 on interleukin 1β (IL-1β)-induced chondrocyte apoptosis. METHODS Primary chondrocytes were isolated from the articular cartilage of Sprague-Dawley rats, infected with PRDX4 overexpressing lentivirus and treated with IL-1β (10ng/mL). Cell apoptosis and ROS production identified by flow cytometry. Protein expression levels was evaluated by Western blotting analysis. Nitric oxide (NO) production and Caspase-3/9 activation were assessed by the Griess reaction method and colorimetric assay kit, respectively. RESULTS PRDX4 overexpression in chondrocytes significantly decreased IL-1β-induced apoptosis. It also reversed the activity of IL-1β that increased ROS and NO production. PRDX4 overexpression reversed the activity of IL-1β that reduced the levels of Bcl-2, p-AKT and p-PRAS40, as well as increased Bax levels and Caspase-3/9 activation. More importantly, pre-treated with AKT inhibitor (AZD5363) significantly reduced the protective effects of PRDX4. CONCLUSIONS Our data demonstrated that the regulatory effects of PRDX4 on IL-1β-induced chondrocyte apoptosis can be partially attributed to phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase/AKT signaling. These results indicate that PRDX4 might play a protective role in OA cartilage degeneration.

Abstract
Histamine, a classic low-molecular-weight amine, is synthesized from L-histidine by histidine decarboxylase (HDC), and histamine-specific receptors (HRs) are essential for its actions. Our serial in vivo studies have uniquely reported that expression of histamine/HRs is variably identified in atherosclerotic lesions, and that HDC-gene knockout mice without histamine/HRs signaling show a marked reduction of atherosclerotic progression. These data have convinced us that histamine plays a pivotal role in the pathogenesis of atherosclerosis. Among four subclasses of HRs, the expression profile of the main receptors (H1/2R) has been shown to be switched from H2R to H1R during monocyte to macrophage differentiation, and H1R is also predominant in smooth muscle and endothelial cells of atheromatous plaque. Using various animal models of H1/2R-gene knockout mice, H1R and H2R were found to reciprocally but critically regulate not only hypercholesterolemia-induced atherosclerosis and injury-induced arteriosclerosis, but also hyperlipidemia-induced nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). Metabolic syndrome manifests obesity, dyslipidemia, insulin resistance, atherosclerosis, and/or NAFLD, i.e. the dysregulation of lipid/bile acid/glucose metabolism. Therefore, although its etiology is complicated and multifactorial, histamine/HRs signaling has a close relationship with the development of metabolic syndrome. We herein review diverse, key in vivo roles of histamine/HR signaling in the pathogenesis of metabolic syndrome.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Peroxiredoxin 4 is a part of endogen antioxidant system and its levels are elevated in oxidative stress conditions. Its levels are positively associated with cardiovascular risk. The aim of this study was to compare serum peroxiredoxin 4 levels between obese subjects with prediabetes and with normal glucose tolerance. METHODS In this study, we included 80 patients with mean age 50·4 ± 10·6 years and divided them into two age and BMI-matched groups - group 1 with obesity without glycaemic disturbances (n = 41) and group 2 with obesity and prediabetes (n = 39). Oral glucose tolerance test with measurement of immunoreactive insulin was performed in all participants, and the levels of peroxiredoxin 4 were measured using ELISA method. RESULTS We found significantly higher levels of peroxiredoxin 4 in patients with prediabetes compared to controls (2851·2 ± 4576·6 pg/ml vs 1088·0 ± 753·3 pg/ml; P = 0·022). There was a mild but statistically significant correlation between peroxiredoxin 4 and weight (r = 0·232; P = 0·038), waist circumference (r = 0·239; P = 0·044), creatinine (r = 0·264; P = 0·019), liver enzymes (ASAT - r = 0·289; P = 0·019 and ALAT - r = 0·305; P = 0·07) and white blood cells count (r = 0·317; P = 0·005). There was no difference in peroxiredoxin 4 levels in patients with and without insulin resistance, as well as with and without metabolic syndrome (MetS), although the levels of peroxiredoxin 4 increased with the number of components of MetS. CONCLUSIONS The levels of peroxiredoxin 4 are higher in patients with prediabetes, but are similar in subjects with and without insulin resistance, which suggests that the main factor for its increased levels is hyperglycaemia and not insulin sensitivity state.

Abstract
Peroxiredoxins (PRDXs) are antioxidant enzymes, known to catalyze peroxide reduction to balance cellular hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) levels, which are essential for cell signaling and metabolism and act as a regulator of redox signaling. Redox signaling is a critical component of cell signaling pathways that are involved in the regulation of cell growth, metabolism, hormone signaling, immune regulation and variety of other physiological functions. Early studies demonstrated that PRDXs regulates cell growth, metabolism and immune regulation and therefore involved in the pathologic regulator or protectant of several cancers, neurodegenerative diseases and inflammatory diseases. Oxidative stress and antioxidant systems are important regulators of redox signaling regulated diseases. In addition, thiol-based redox systems through peroxiredoxins have been demonstrated to regulate several redox-dependent process related diseases. In this review article, we will discuss recent findings regarding PRDXs in the development of diseases and further discuss therapeutic approaches targeting PRDXs. Moreover, we will suggest that PRDXs could be targets of several diseases and the therapeutic agents for targeting PRDXs may have potential beneficial effects for the treatment of cancers, neurodegenerative diseases and inflammatory diseases. Future research should open new avenues for the design of novel therapeutic approaches targeting PRDXs.

Abstract
Background Accumulating evidence has shown that methionine- and choline-deficient high fat (MCD+HF) diet induces the development of nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), in which elevated reactive oxygen species play a crucial role. We have reported that peroxiredoxin 4 (PRDX4), a unique secretory member of the PRDX antioxidant family, protects against NAFLD progression. However, the detailed mechanism and potential effects on the intestinal function still remain unclear. Methods & Results Two weeks after feeding mice a MCD+HF diet, the livers of human PRDX4 transgenic (Tg) mice exhibited significant suppression in the development of NAFLD compared with wild-type (WT) mice. The serum thiobarbituric acid reactive substances levels were significantly lower in Tg mice. In contrast, the Tg small intestine with PRDX4 overexpression showed more suppressed shortening of total length and villi height, and more accumulation of lipid in the jejunum, along with lower levels of dihydroethidium binding. The enterocytes exhibited fewer apoptotic but more proliferating cells, and inflammation was reduced in the mucosa. Furthermore, the small intestine of Tg mice had significantly higher expression of cholesterol absorption-regulatory factors, including liver X receptor-α, but lower expression of microsomal triglyceride-transfer protein. Conclusion Our present data provide the first evidence of the beneficial effects of PRDX4 on intestinal function in the reduction of the severity of NAFLD, by ameliorating oxidative stress-induced local and systemic injury. We can suggest that both liver and intestine are spared, to some degree, by the antioxidant properties of PRDX4.

Molecular cloning, characterization and mRNA expression of six peroxiredoxins from Black carp Mylopharyngodon piceus in response to lipopolysaccharide challenge or dietary carbohydrate. FISH & SHELLFISH IMMUNOLOGY 2016; 50:210-222. [PMID: 26828261 DOI: 10.1016/j.fsi.2016.01.033] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/04/2015] [Revised: 01/07/2016] [Accepted: 01/27/2016] [Indexed: 06/05/2023]
Abstract
Peroxiredoxin (Prx) belongs to a cellular antioxidant protein family that plays important roles in innate immune function and anti-oxidative capability. In the present study, six Prxs were cloned from Black carp Mylopharyngodon piceus (MpPrx) by homology cloning and rapid amplification of cDNA ends (RACE) techniques. There were 199, 197, 250, 260, 189 and 222 amino acids in six MpPrxs, respectively. BLAST analysis reveals that MpPrxs shares high identities and similar characteristics with other known Prxs from animals. The phylogenetic analysis evidenced three major subclasses corresponding to one-Cys-Prx (MpPrx6), typical two-Cys-Prx (MpPrx1-4) and atypical 2-Cys-Prx (MpPrx5) that reflected the present hierarchy of vertebrates and invertebrates. Although six MpPrxs are constitutively expressed in all tissues, relatively higher-level mRNA expression levels of six MpPrxs can be detected in liver, eyes, heart and adipose tissues by real-time PCR assays. The transcriptional patterns of six MpPrxs mRNA in liver were detected by real-time PCR in Black carp after lipopolysaccharide (LPS) challenge and treated with graded levels of dietary carbohydrate (CHO) (106.5, 194.3, 288.4 and 379.1 g kg(-1)), respectively. These results showed that stimulation with LPS could induce up-expression of six MpPrxs mRNA, and the variations of MpPrx4 were more sensitive than these of other MpPrxs in the liver of Black carp. Compared with those in group with 106.5 g kg(-1) dietary CHO, the expression levels of MpPrx2, MpPrx3 and MpPrx6 were significantly down-regulated while MpPrx5 were significantly induced in liver of Black carp fed with adequate dietary CHO (194.3 g kg(-1)). In addition, significant up-regulations of MpPrx2, MpPrx3 and MpPrx6 were observed in Black carp fed with excessive dietary CHO (379.1 g kg(-1)). And MpPrx4 could be constantly induced with increasing dietary CHO contents in this study. These results indicated that MpPrxs were constitutive and inducible proteins and might play important roles in innate immune function after LPS challenge and regulating redox homeostasis in the metabolism of dietary CHO.

Abstract
Reactive oxygen species (ROS) and reactive nitrogen species (RNS) are generated from aerobic metabolism, as a result of accidental electron leakage as well as regulated enzymatic processes. Because ROS/RNS can induce oxidative injury and act in redox signaling, enzymes metabolizing them will inherently promote either health or disease, depending on the physiological context. It is thus misleading to consider conventionally called antioxidant enzymes to be largely, if not exclusively, health protective. Because such a notion is nonetheless common, we herein attempt to rationalize why this simplistic view should be avoided. First we give an updated summary of physiological phenotypes triggered in mouse models of overexpression or knockout of major antioxidant enzymes. Subsequently, we focus on a series of striking cases that demonstrate "paradoxical" outcomes, i.e., increased fitness upon deletion of antioxidant enzymes or disease triggered by their overexpression. We elaborate mechanisms by which these phenotypes are mediated via chemical, biological, and metabolic interactions of the antioxidant enzymes with their substrates, downstream events, and cellular context. Furthermore, we propose that novel treatments of antioxidant enzyme-related human diseases may be enabled by deliberate targeting of dual roles of the pertaining enzymes. We also discuss the potential of "antioxidant" nutrients and phytochemicals, via regulating the expression or function of antioxidant enzymes, in preventing, treating, or aggravating chronic diseases. We conclude that "paradoxical" roles of antioxidant enzymes in physiology, health, and disease derive from sophisticated molecular mechanisms of redox biology and metabolic homeostasis. Simply viewing antioxidant enzymes as always being beneficial is not only conceptually misleading but also clinically hazardous if such notions underpin medical treatment protocols based on modulation of redox pathways.

Abstract
Inflammation is a pathophysiological response to infection or tissue damage during which high levels of reactive oxygen and nitrogen species are produced by phagocytes to kill microorganisms. Reactive oxygen and nitrogen species serve also in the complex regulation of inflammatory processes. Recently, it has been proposed that peroxiredoxins may play key roles in innate immunity and inflammation. Indeed, peroxiredoxins are evolutionarily conserved peroxidases able to reduce, with high rate constants, hydrogen peroxide, alkyl hydroperoxides and peroxynitrite which are generated during inflammation. In this minireview, we point out different possible roles of peroxiredoxins during inflammatory processes such as cytoprotective enzymes against oxidative stress, modulators of redox signaling, and extracellular pathogen- or damage-associated molecular patterns. A better understanding of peroxiredoxin functions in inflammation could lead to the discovery of new therapeutic targets.

Abstract
In prior studies, we determined that the moderate overexpression of the Drosophila endoplasmic reticulum (ER)-localized peroxiredoxin (Prx), dPrx4, reduced oxidative damage and conferred beneficial effects on life span, while a high-level expression increased the incidence of tissue-specific apoptosis and dramatically shortened longevity. The detrimental pro-apoptotic and life-shortening effects were attributed to aberrant localization of dPrx4 and the apparent ER stress elicited by dPrx4 overexpression. In addition, the activation of both the NF-κB- and the JAK/STAT-mediated stress responses was detected, although it was not clear whether these served as functional alarm signals. Here we extend these findings to show that the activation of the NF-κB-dependent immunity-related/inflammatory genes, associated with life span shortening effects, is dependent on the activity of a Drosophila NF-κB ortholog, Relish. In the absence of Relish, the pro-inflammatory effects typically elicited by dPrx4 overexpression were not detected. The absence of Relish not only prevented the hyperactivation of the immunity-related genes but also significantly rescued the severe shortening of life span normally observed in dPrx4 overexpressors. The overactivation of the immune/inflammatory responses was also lessened by JAK/STAT signaling. In addition, we found that cellular immune/pro-inflammatory responses provoked by the oxidant paraquat but not bacteria are mediated via dPrx4 activity in the ER, as the upregulation of the immune-related genes was eliminated in flies underexpressing dPrx4, whereas immune responses triggered by bacteria were unaffected. Finally, efforts to reveal critical tissues where dPrx4 modulates longevity showed that broad targeting of dPrx4 to neuronal tissue had strong beneficial effects, while targeting expression to the fat body had deleterious effects.

Abstract
SIGNIFICANCE The heart depends on continuous mitochondrial ATP supply and maintained redox balance to properly develop force, particularly under increased workload. During diabetes, however, myocardial energetic-redox balance is perturbed, contributing to the systolic and diastolic dysfunction known as diabetic cardiomyopathy (DC). CRITICAL ISSUES How these energetic and redox alterations intertwine to influence the DC progression is still poorly understood. Excessive bioavailability of both glucose and fatty acids (FAs) play a central role, leading, among other effects, to mitochondrial dysfunction. However, where and how this nutrient excess affects mitochondrial and cytoplasmic energetic/redox crossroads remains to be defined in greater detail. RECENT ADVANCES We review how high glucose alters cellular redox balance and affects mitochondrial DNA. Next, we address how lipid excess, either stored in lipid droplets or utilized by mitochondria, affects performance in diabetic hearts by influencing cardiac energetic and redox assets. Finally, we examine how the reciprocal energetic/redox influence between mitochondrial and cytoplasmic compartments shapes myocardial mechanical activity during the course of DC, focusing especially on the glutathione and thioredoxin systems. FUTURE DIRECTIONS Protecting mitochondria from losing their ability to generate energy, and to control their own reactive oxygen species emission is essential to prevent the onset and/or to slow down DC progression. We highlight mechanisms enforced by the diabetic heart to counteract glucose/FAs surplus-induced damage, such as lipid storage, enhanced mitochondria-lipid droplet interaction, and upregulation of key antioxidant enzymes. Learning more on the nature and location of mechanisms sheltering mitochondrial functions would certainly help in further optimizing therapies for human DC.

Abstract
Oxidative protein folding in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) is an essential function of eukaryotic cells that requires the relaying of electrons between the proteinaceous components of the pathway. During this process, protein disulfide isomerase (PDI) chaperones oxidatively fold their client proteins before endoplasmic reticulum oxireductin 1 (ERO1) oxidase transfers electrons from the reduced PDI to the terminal acceptor, which is usually molecular oxygen and is subsequently reduced to H2O2. ERO1 function is essential for disulfide bond formation in yeast, whereas in mammals its function is compensated for by alternative pathways. ERO1 activity is allosterically and transcriptionally regulated by the ER unfolded protein response (UPR). The ER stress-induced upregulation of ERO1 and other genes contributes to a cell's ability to cope with ER stress as a result of an adaptive homeostatic response, but the stress persists if a "maladaptive UPR" fails to reestablish ER homeostasis. As the oxidative activity of ERO1 is related to the production of H2O2 and consequently burdens cells with potentially toxic reactive oxygen species, deregulated ERO1 activity is likely to impair cell fitness under certain conditions of severe ER stress and may therefore lead to a change from an adaptive to a maladaptive UPR. This review summarizes the evidence of the double-edged sword activity of ERO1 by highlighting its role as a protein disulfide oxidase and H2O2 producer.

Abstract
Peroxiredoxins (PRDXs) form an enzyme family that exhibits peroxidase activity using electrons from thioredoxin and other donor molecules. As the signaling roles of hydrogen peroxide in response to extracellular stimuli have emerged, the involvement of PRDX in the hydrogen peroxide-mediated signaling has become evident. Among six PRDX members in mammalian cells, PRDX4 uniquely possesses a hydrophobic signal peptide at the amino terminus, and, hence, it undergoes either secretion or retention by the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) lumen. The role of PRDX4 as a sulfoxidase in ER is now attracting much attention regarding the oxidative protein folding of nascent proteins. Contrary to this role in the ER, the functional significance of PRDX4 in the extracellular milieu is virtually unknown despite its implications as a biomarker under pathological conditions in some diseases. Other than its systemically expressed form, a variant form of PRDX4 is transcribed from the upstream promoter/exon 1 of the systemic promoter/exon 1 and is uniquely expressed in sexually matured testes. Circumstantial evidence, together with deduced functions from the systemic form, suggests that there are potential roles for testicular PRDX4 in the reproductive processes such as the regulation of hormonal signals and the oxidative packaging of sperm chromatin. Elucidation of these PRDX4 functions under in vivo situations is expected to show the whole picture of how PRDX4 has evolved in multicellular organisms.

Abstract
Enhanced oxidative stress contributes to the pathogenesis of diabetes and its complications. Peroxiredoxin 6 (PRDX6) is a key regulator of cellular redox balance, with the peculiar ability to neutralize peroxides, peroxynitrite, and phospholipid hydroperoxides. In the current study, we aimed to define the role of PRDX6 in the pathophysiology of type 2 diabetes (T2D) using PRDX6 knockout (-/-) mice. Glucose and insulin responses were evaluated respectively by intraperitoneal glucose and insulin tolerance tests. Peripheral insulin sensitivity was analyzed by euglycemic-hyperinsulinemic clamp, and molecular tools were used to investigate insulin signaling. Moreover, inflammatory and lipid parameters were evaluated. We demonstrated that PRDX6(-/-) mice developed a phenotype similar to early-stage T2D caused by both reduced glucose-dependent insulin secretion and increased insulin resistance. Impaired insulin signaling was present in PRDX6(-/-) mice, leading to reduction of muscle glucose uptake. Morphological and ultrastructural changes were observed in islets of Langerhans and livers of mutant animals, as well as altered plasma lipid profiles and inflammatory parameters. In conclusion, we demonstrated that PRDX6 is a key mediator of overt hyperglycemia in T2D glucose metabolism, opening new perspectives for targeted therapeutic strategies in diabetes care.

Abstract
AIMS/HYPOTHESIS Oxidative stress plays a key role in the development of type 2 diabetes mellitus. We previously showed that the circulating antioxidant peroxiredoxin 4 (Prx4) is associated with cardiometabolic risk factors. We aimed to evaluate the association of Prx4 with type 2 diabetes risk in the general population. METHODS We analysed data on 7,972 individuals from the Prevention of Renal and Vascular End-stage Disease (PREVEND) study (49% men, aged 28-75 years) with no diabetes at baseline. Logistic regression models adjusted for age, sex, smoking, waist circumference, hypertension and family history of diabetes were used to estimate the ORs for type 2 diabetes. RESULTS During a median follow up of 7.7 years, 496 individuals (288 men; 58%) developed type 2 diabetes. The median (Q1-Q3) Prx4 level was 0.84 (0.53-1.40) U/l in individuals who developed type 2 diabetes and 0.68 (0.43-1.08) U/l in individuals who did not develop type 2 diabetes. For every doubling of Prx4 levels, the adjusted OR (95% CI) for type 2 diabetes was 1.16 (1.05-1.29) in the whole population; by sex, it was 1.31 (1.14-1.50) for men and 1.03 (0.87-1.21) for women. Further adjustment for other clinical measures did not materially change the results. The addition of Prx4 to a validated diabetes risk score significantly improved the prediction of type 2 diabetes in men (p = 0.002 for reclassification improvement). CONCLUSIONS/INTERPRETATION Our findings suggest that elevated serum Prx4 levels are associated with a higher risk of incident type 2 diabetes. For men, taking Prx4 into consideration can improve type 2 diabetes prediction over a validated diabetes risk score; in contrast, there is no improvement in risk prediction for women.
