  • Peroxiredoxin 6 (PRDX6) is a bifunctional protein with both glutathione peroxidase and calcium-independent phospholipase activity. Recently, we reported that PRDX6 plays an important role in dopaminergic neurodegeneration in Parkinson's disease. However, the relationship between PRDX6 function and emotional behavior remains elusive. In the present study, we examined depression- and anxiety-like behaviors in PRDX6-overexpressing transgenic (PRDX6-Tg) mice using the forced swim test, tail suspension test, open field paradigm, and elevated plus-maze. PRDX6-Tg mice exhibited depression-like behaviors and low anxiety. In particular, female PRDX6-Tg mice exhibited anxiolytic behavior in the open field test. Furthermore, the serotonin content in the cortex and 5-hydroxytryptophan-induced head twitch response were both reduced in PRDX6-Tg mice. Interestingly, levels of dopa decarboxylase expression in the cortex were decreased in male PRDX6-Tg mice but not in female mice. Our findings provide novel insights into the role of PRDX6 in 5-HT synthesis and suggest that PRDX6 overexpression can induce depression-like behaviors via downregulation of the serotonergic neuronal system.

  • The peroxiredoxin family of peroxidase has six mammalian members (Prx 1-6). Considering their frequent up-regulation in cancer cells, Prxs may contribute to cancer cells' survival in face of oxidative stress. Here, we show that Prx 6 promotes the invasiveness of lung cancer cells, accompanied by an increase in the activity of phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI3K), the phosphorylation of p38 kinase and Akt, and the protein levels of uPA. Functional studies reveal that these components support Prx 6-induced invasion in the sequence p38 kinase/PI3K, Akt, and uPA. The findings provide a new understanding of the action of Prx 6 in cancer.

  • Peroxiredoxins are cysteine-dependent peroxide reductases that group into 6 different, structurally discernable classes. In 2011, our research team reported the application of a bioinformatic approach called active site profiling to extract active site-proximal sequence segments from the 29 distinct, structurally-characterized peroxiredoxins available at the time. These extracted sequences were then used to create unique profiles for the six groups which were subsequently used to search GenBank(nr), allowing identification of ~3500 peroxiredoxin sequences and their respective subgroups. Summarized in this minireview are the features and phylogenetic distributions of each of these peroxiredoxin subgroups; an example is also provided illustrating the use of the web accessible, searchable database known as PREX to identify subfamily-specific peroxiredoxin sequences for the organism Vitis vinifera (grape).

  • Artificially oxidized cysteine residues in peroxiredoxin 6 (Prx6) were detected by electrospray interface capillary liquid chromatography-linear ion trap mass spectrometry after the preparation of two-dimensional gel electrophoresis (2D-GE). We used Prx6 as a model protein because it possesses only two cysteine residues at the 47th and 91st positions. The spot of Prx6 on 2D-GE undergoes a basic (isoelectric point, pI 6.6) to acidic (pI 6.2) shift by exposure to peroxide due to selective overoxidation of the active-site cysteine Cys-47 but not of Cys-91. However, we detected a tryptic peptide containing cysteine sulfonic acid at the 47th position from the basic spot and a peptide containing both oxidized Cys-47 and oxidized Cys-91 from the acidic spot of Prx6 after the separation by 2D-GE. We prepared two types of oxidized Prx6s: carrying oxidized Cys-47 (single oxidized Prx6), and other carrying both oxidized Cys-47 and Cys-91 (double oxidized Prx6). Using these oxidized Prx6s, the single oxidized Prx6 and double oxidized Prx6 migrated to pIs at 6.2 and 5.9, respectively. These results suggest that oxidized Cys-47 from the basic spot and oxidized Cys-91 from the acidic spot are generated by artificial oxidation during sample handling processes after isoelectric focusing of 2D-GE. Therefore, it is important to make sure of the origin of cysteine oxidation, if it is physiological or artificial, when an oxidized cysteine residue(s) is identified.

  • Two open reading frames of Haemophilus influenzae, HI0572 and HI0751, showing homology to a yeast thioredoxin peroxidase II (TPx II) and an E. coli thiol peroxidase $P_{20}$, respectively, were cloned and expressed in E. coli, and then the proteins were subsequently purified and characterized. HI0751 protein showed the thioredoxin (Trx)-dependent peroxidase activity, whereas HI0572 protein showed glutathione-dependent peroxidase. The HI0572 is the first peroxiredoxin with glutathione peroxidase activity rather than thioredoxin peroxidase. Purified HI0572 and HI0751 proteins protected specifically the inactivation of glutamine synthetase by metal catalyzed oxidation (MCO) systems composed of $Fe^{3+}$, $O_2$ and mercaptans such as dithiothreitol, ${\beta}-mercaptoethanol$ and glutathione (GSH). Unlike the HI0751 protein, the HI0572 protein was more effective in protecting glutamine synthetase from inactivation by the $GSH/Fe^{3+}/O_2$ system. It seems that these unique properties of the HI0572 protein are due to the structure containing a glutaredoxin domain at it's C-terminal in addition to a peroxiredoxin domain.

  • 본 연구에서는 참전복(Haliotis discus hannai)의 대용량 염기서열 분석을 통해 peroxiredoxin (Prx) 2 유전자의 full length의 cDNA를 동정하였다. 참전복 Prx 2 유전자의 총 길이는 1,052 bp로 597 bp의 open reading frame는 총 199개의 아미노산을 코딩하고 있으며 분자량은 22 kDa, 등전점은 7.58로 예측되었다. 참전복 Prx 2 아미노산서 열에는 typical 2-Cys Prx의 특징을 갖는 motif와 효소활성에 중요한 cysteine잔기가 매우 보존되어 있었다. 참전복 Prx 2 아미노산 서열은 다른 종의 Prx 2와 64~99% 유사하였고, 특히 패류의 Prx 2와 가장 유사성이 높았다. 참전복 Prx 2 유전자의 mRNA는 관찰된 모든 조직에서 발현하고 있었으며, 특히 외투막, 아가미, 족부, 간췌장, 소화관에서 높은 발현이 확인되었다. 참전복의 Prx 2는 비브리오균으로 감염시킨 전복의 혈구세포에서 감염 후 1시간 째 발현이 증가했다가 서서히 감소하였고, 간췌장 조직에서는 감염 6시간 경과 후 발현 정도가 최고로 증가했다가 감소하였다. 따라서 typical 2-Cys Prx의 특징을 잘 보존되어 있는 참전복 Prx 2는 병원균 감염에 따른 산화스트레스 조절에 관여하는 인자로 중요한 역할을 할 것으로 예상된다.

  • 배 경 : peroxiredoxins는 거의 모든 생명체에 공통적으로 보존되어 있으며, 최근에 발견된, 특이한 peroxidases로 인체에서 6가지 동위효소가 알려져 있으며, 산화스트레스에 대한 방어역할을 담당하고, $H_2O_2$신호전달 과정에서 중요한 조절 역할을 한다. peroxiredoxin은 $H_2O_2$ 처리 과정 중에서 자신이 산화되어 불활성화 되는데, 산화된 후 다시 재생되는 것으로 보고되나 그 생리적은 의미는 분명하지 않다. 이에 저자들을 폐상 피세포주, 대식세포주, 폐포모세혈관 내피세포주 및 기타 섬유모세포주 들에서 $H_2O_2$ 에 의한 Prx의 산화과정과 재생을 알아보고자 하였다. 방 법 : 수술 환자에서 적출한 정상 폐조직과, 세포주로는 평상시 산화 스트레스에 노출이 많을 것으로 예상되는 세포들로써, 폐포상피세포의 I 형 및 II 형 세포에서 기원한 A549, WI 26, Raw 264.7, Rat2,및 폐포 모세혈관 내피세포주 등을 이용하여 이를 $50{\mu}M$. $100{\mu}M$, $500{\mu}M$$H_2O_2$로 산화시켜 불활성화 한 후, 추적관찰 하였으며, 시간대 별로(0. 10, 30, 60, 120, 240, 480 분) 수확하여, 이를 1차원 non-reducing SDS-PAGE 및 2차원 전기영동로 분리 후, silver stain 과 Western blot으로 분석 하였다. 결 과 : 1. 실험에 사용된 모든 세포주에서, $H_2O_2$ 농도에 비례하여 peroxiredoxin I, II, III 의 불활성화를 관찰할 수 있었고, 10분에 최고로 불활성화되었다. 2. 산화된 이후, 30분경부터 peroxiredoxin 의 재생이 관찰되기 시작 하였으며, 2시간 이후부터 확연하였다. 3. 다시 재생된 peroxiredoxin은 $H_2O_2$투여로서, 다시 불활성화되어, 재생된 Prx 가 활성을 지닌 단백질임을 알 수 있었다. 4. 재생의 속도는 사용된 세포주마다 차이가 있었으며 (A549 >Raw 264.7 >$Rat_2$ >WI26), 단백질 합성억제제인 cycloheximide ($10{\mu}g/ml$) 존재 하에서도 변함 없이 관찰되었다. 결 론 : 세포 내에는 산화되어 불활성화된 peroxiredoxin을 재생하는 체계가 존재 하며, 이는 활성부위 cysteine을 갖는 다른 단백질에도 공통적으로 적용될 수 있는 분자 스위치일 가능성이 높으며, 산화에 의한 신호전달과정이나, 질병 모델에서 Prx 단백의 재생 체계의 이상과 병인에 관한 추가적인 연구가 필요할 것으로 사료된다.

  • Type 1 diabetes (T1D) is caused by dysregulation of the immune system in the pancreatic islets, which eventually leads to insulin-producing pancreatic ${\beta}$-cell death and destabilization of glucose homeostasis. One of the major characteristics of T1D pathogenesis is the production of inflammatory mediators by macrophages that result in destruction or damage of pancreatic ${\beta}$-cells. In this study the inflammatory microenvironment of T1D was simulated with RAW264.7 cells and MIN6 cells, acting as macrophages and pancreatic ${\beta}$-cells respectably. In this setting, peroxiredoxin-1, an anti-oxidant enzyme was knocked down to observe its functions in the pathogenesis of T1D. RAW264.7 cells were primed with lipopolysaccharide and co-cultured with MIN6 cells while PRX-1 was knocked down in one or both cell types. Our results suggest that hindrance of PRX-1 activity or the deficiency of this enzyme in inflammatory conditions negatively affects pancreatic ${\beta}$-cell survival. The observed decrease in viability of MIN6 cells seems to be caused by nitric oxide production. Additionally, it seems that PRX-1 affects previously reported protective activity of IL-6 in pancreatic ${\beta}$ cells as well. These results signify new, undiscovered roles for PRX-1 in inflammatory conditions and may contribute toward our understanding of autoimmunity.

  • Peroxiredoxins (Prxs) are ubiquitously expressed peroxidases that reduce hydrogen peroxide or alkyl peroxide production in cells. Prxs are released from cells in response to various stress conditions, and they function as damage-associated molecular pattern molecules. However, the secretory mechanism of Prxs and their roles have not been elucidated. Thus, we aimed to determine whether inflammasome activation is a secretory mechanism of Prxs and subsequently identify the effect of the secreted Prxs on activation of the classical complement pathway. Using J774A.1, a murine macrophage cell line, we demonstrated that NLRP3 inflammasome activation induces Prx1, Prx2, Prx5, and Prx6 secretion in a caspase-1 dependent manner. Using HEK293T cells with a transfection system, we revealed that the release of Prx1 and Prx2 relies on gasdermin-D (GSDMD)-mediated secretion. Next, we confirmed the binding of both Prx1 and Prx2 to C1q; however, only Prx2 could induce the C1q-mediated classical complement pathway activation. Collectively, our results suggest that inflammasome activation is a secretory mechanism of Prxs and that GSDMD is a mediator of their secretion. Moreover, secreted Prx1 and Prx2 bind with C1q, but only Prx2 mediates the classical complement pathway activation.

  • 배 경 : 패혈증에서 과도한 활성산소종의 생성은 급성 폐손상의 병리 기전에 중요한 역할을 한다. Catalase 및 MnSOD 등의 항산화 단백은 패혈증 환자의 혈청내 증가하며 급성호흡곤란증후군의 발생 예측 인자 및 패혈증의 예후 인자로 알려져 있다. Peroxiredoxin(Prx) 는 최근 독특하고 중요한 세포내 항산화 단백으로 알려져 있다. 본 연구는 대식세포인 mouse monocyte-macrophages(RAW 264.7) 세포에 산화 스트레스 및 내독소 처리후 Prx I 및 Prx II의 발현 평가하고 패혈증 동물 모델에서 복강세척액 및 기관지폐포세척액내 Prx I, Prx II 및 Trx의 양을 측정하였다. 방 법 : Prx I, Prx II 및 Trx에 대한 특이 항체를 이용하여 immunoblot 분석으로 호중구, 대식세포 및 적혈구에 이들의 분포를 평가하였다. Mouse monocyte-macrophages 세포에 $5\;{\mu}M$ menadione 및 1 mg/ml lipopolysaccharide(LPS) 을 처치하여 Prx I 및 Prx II의 발현을 평가하였으며 6 mg/Kg LPS를 복강내 투여하여 유발한 복강내 패혈증 동물의 복강세척액내 Prx I, Prx II 및 Trx의 양을 측정하였으며 복강내 패혈증 동물 및 5 mg/Kg LPS를 정맥내 투여하여 유발한 정맥내 패혈증 동물에서 기관지폐포세척액내 Prx I, Prx II 및 Trx을 측정하였으며 폐장의 염증 정도와 비교하였다. 결 과 : Prx I 및 Prx II의 분포는 호중구, 폐포대식세포 및 적혈구에서 서로 다른 양상을 보였다. Mouse monocyte-macrophages 세포에 $5\;{\mu}M$ menadione 및 $1\;{\mu}g/ml$ lipopolysaccharide을 처치하였을 때 Prx I 발현은 증가하였으나 Prx II 발현은 변화하지 않았다. 복강내 패혈증 동물에서 복강세척액내 Prx I, Prx II 및 Trx의 양은 증가하였으나 복강내 패혈증 및 정맥내 패혈증 동물에서 기관지폐포세척액내 폐장 염증 정도와 관계없이 Prx I, Prx II 및 Trx의 양은 증가하지 않았다. 결 론 : 세포내 항산화 단백으로서 mouse monocyte-macrophages 세포에서 Prx I의 발현은 산화 스트레스 및 내독소 처치후 증가한다. Prx I, Prx II 및 Trx양은 패혈증 동물 모델에서 국소 염증 부위에서 증가하나 손상된 폐장에서는 증가하지 않는다.
