Thioredoxin is a redox-active protein that plays multiple roles in regulating cell growth, cell signalling and apoptosis. Here, we have demonstrated that a complex mechanism involving multiple regulatory elements is involved in the tBHQ [tert-butylhydroquinone or 2,5-di-(t-butyl)-1,4-hydroquinone]-mediated activation of the thioredoxin gene. Luciferase assays, utilizing various wild-type and mutated thioredoxin promoter fragments, revealed roles for the ORE (oxidative stress responsive element), ARE (antioxidant responsive element), three Sp1 (specificity protein 1)-binding sites and the TATA box in the activation of the thioredoxin gene by tBHQ. The ORE required the presence of the ARE to elicit its response, whereas the independent removal of three Sp1-binding sites and the TATA box also decreased activation of the thioredoxin gene, with mutation of the TATA box having the greatest effect. Real-time RT (reverse transcriptase)-PCR analysis also revealed varying roles for two TSSs (transcription ...
BACKGROUND: Thioredoxins (Trx) are small redox proteins that function as general protein disulphide reductases and regulate several cellular processes such as transcription factor DNA binding activity, apoptosis and DNA synthesis. In mammalian organisms, thioredoxins are generally ubiquitously expressed in all tissues, with the exception of Sptrx-1 which is specifically expressed in sperm cells.. RESULTS: We report here the identification and characterization of a novel member of the thioredoxin family, the second with a tissue-specific distribution in human sperm, termed Sptrx-2. The Sptrx-2 ORF (open reading frame) encodes for a protein of 588 amino acids with two different domains: an N-terminal thioredoxin domain encompassing the first 105 residues and a C-terminal domain composed of three repeats of a NDP kinase domain. The Sptrx-2 gene spans about 51 kb organized in 17 exons and maps at locus 7p13-14. Sptrx-2 mRNA is exclusively expressed in human testis, mainly in primary spermatocytes, ...
Although Txnip participates in a variety of biological functions, the physiological roles of Txnip in the myocardium have not been defined. In this study, we explored the in vivo role of Txnip in the heart by using Txnip deletion in mice. Our results indicate that deletion of Txnip induces mild cardiac dysfunction in the basal state with a biphasic functional response to pressure overload. In the early phase of hemodynamic stress, deletion of Txnip provides cardioprotection with a reduced propensity to cardiac hypertrophy. At the later transition to cardiac failure, deletion of Txnip leads to worse cardiac function. Because a direct linkage between ROS generation and cardiac contractile defect has been proposed,15 we anticipated that these cardiac phenotypes in Txnip deletion mice were mediated by increased thioredoxin activity to antagonize oxidative stress. However, we did not detect changes in overall redox state in Txnip-null mice; instead, our data support a role of Txnip in cardiac ...
Thioredoxin-interacting protein (TXNIP) is an endogenous inhibitor of the antioxidant thioredoxin, and a critical agent in the in vivo regulation of glucose. The well-described induction of TXNIP by high glucose may represent an important pathogenic trigger of complications arising in the diabetic environment, with sustained overexpression of TXNIP triggering the increased production of reactive oxygen species and collagen, both major contributors to the development of diabetic nephropathy (DN). To examine a possible therapeutic role for targeted TXNIP inhibition in DN, transgenic (mRen-2)27 rats were rendered diabetic with streptozotocin and then treated with 20 μ,smlcap,M,/smlcap, TXNIP deoxyribozyme (DNAzyme) delivered continuously over 12 weeks by an implanted osmotic mini-pump. Renal injury was measured using biochemical parameters of kidney function along with histological markers of damage. Catalytic activity of TXNIP DNAzyme was determined by TXNIP gene and peptide expression in the rat ...

Background: Thioredoxin (Trx) and thioredoxin reductase (TrxR), together with NADPH, constitute the Trx system, a major antioxidant entity that helps maintain a reducing environment within living cells. Trx designates a family of proteins that are related on the basis of structure and function. Human full-length Trx is a 12 kDa redox-active protein that contains the evolutionarily conserved active site sequence Cys-Gly Pro-Cys. Truncated Trx is a shorter, 10 kDa form of human Trx that shows complete homology to the N-terminal 80 or 84 amino acids of 12 kDa Trx. Truncated Trx displays no reducing activity, even though it contains an intact active site. Human TrxR is a homodimeric, FAD-containing, selenoprotein that reduces oxidized Trx back to the enzymatically active form by consuming NADPH. Expression of human Trx and TrxR is induced by a variety of stressors. The Trx system functions directly and indirectly in important biological features such as DNA synthesis, gene expression, co-cytokine ...
Our study included low and high exercise intensities at 5% of Pmax below and above both lactate turn points. Even for high intensity exercise (C and D), the applied short-acting insulin reductions in combination with IDeg were found to be safe. This is highly relevant since many patients with type 1 diabetes mellitus are performing high-intensity competitive sports (23). In comparison to the findings of Heise and colleagues (18), where exercise intensity was set at 65 % of VO2max with the same duration as in our study (30 minutes), the observed blood glucose decrease was higher in our study. Due to different exercise prescription methods and differences in exercise intensities, a comparison of these results is difficult. Our study showed a dose-response relationship of exercise intensity and the decrease of blood glucose concentration during continuous cycle ergometer exercises independent of insulin reduction. The blood glucose decrease was linear with time and was dependent on exercise ...
The active-site protonation state is crucial to the reductive mechanism of Escherichia coli thioredoxin, which involves a nucleophilic attack by the thiolate form of Cys32. We have calculated the titration properties of the active-site residues using a continuum electrostatic model, the X-ray structure of the oxidized protein, and ensembles of NMR structures of the oxidized and reduced protein. Protein dipoles, especially the SH dipole of Cys35, can provide sufficient stabilization of the Cys32 thiolate to account for its low experimental pKa (approximately 7.4), but this effect is very sensitive to local conformational variations. The experimental finding that Cys32 titrates at a lower pH than Cys35 is explained by the latters deeper burial from solvent exposure, and stronger interaction with the carboxylate of Asp26, and not by helix dipoles or positively charged side chains. The calculated very strong interaction between Cys32 and Cys35 in their thiolate forms implies that their titration ...
Using phage display we identify the redox proteins thioredoxin and superoxide dismutase (SOD) as novel protein kinase C (PKC)-interacting proteins. Overlay assays demonstrated that PKC bound to immobilized thioredoxin, providing supporting evidence for the phage display results. Kinase assays demonstrated that SOD and thioredoxin were not direct substrates for PKC but that both proteins blocked autophosphorylation of PKC. Moreover, thioredoxin inhibited PKC-mediated phosphorylation of histone (IC50of approx. 20 ng/ml).. ...

Author Summary Thioredoxins are found in all types of cells and control several essential functions of life, including promotion of cell growth, inhibition of apoptosis, and modulation of inflammation. Thioredoxin has two free cysteines in its active site, which are used to break disulfide bonds in oxidized substrate proteins. In the first step, an intermediate thioredoxin-protein complex is formed, which is broken in the second step, releasing the substrate protein in its reduced state. In other words, the disulfide is being transferred from the substrate protein to thioredoxin, or the electrons coming from thioredoxin are shuttled to the protein substrate. The exact reaction mechanism, i.e., the detailed succession of steps in which the reaction takes place, of how this mixed disulfide is broken is not known and has been debated over the last twenty years. With a multidisciplinary approach, combining computational and experimental work, we provide fresh insights into how conformational changes
Thioredoxins [(PUBMED:3896121), (PUBMED:2668278), (PUBMED:7788289), (PUBMED:7788290)] are small disulphide-containing redox proteins that have been found in all the kingdoms of living organisms. Thioredoxin serves as a general protein disulphide oxidoreductase. It interacts with a broad range of proteins by a redox mechanism based on reversible oxidation of two cysteine thiol groups to a disulphide, accompanied by the transfer of two electrons and two protons. The net result is the covalent interconversion of a disulphide and a dithiol. In the NADPH-dependent protein disulphide reduction, thioredoxin reductase (TR) catalyses the reduction of oxidised thioredoxin (trx) by NADPH using FAD and its redox-active disulphide; reduced thioredoxin then directly reduces the disulphide in the substrate protein [(PUBMED:3896121)].. Thioredoxin is present in prokaryotes and eukaryotes and the sequence around the redox-active disulphide bond is well conserved. All thioredoxins contain a cis-proline located in ...
TXNIP is a member of the α-arrestin family that functions as an intracellular scaffold, which participates in cellular signaling by formation of signaling complexes and localization of signaling components in the cell.11,12 VEGF-VEGFR2 signaling in EC seems to be dependent on TXNIP as shown in the present study. We showed previously that TXNIP was required for VEGFR2 activation and EC survival in response to low concentrations of H2O2 and tumor necrosis factor-α.15 These data support our concept that TXNIP plays a critical role in regulating VEGFR2 signaling and angiogenesis in EC.. A novel finding of the present study is that TXNIP seems to be required for the earliest stage of VEGFR2 internalization. Receptor tyrosine kinases are regulated by endocytosis through the internalization of plasma membrane receptors.25-27 For example, the internalization of epidermal growth factor receptor is mediated by clathrin-mediated endocytosis and is essential for sustained epidermal growth factor receptor ...

N2 - Approximately 85% of pancreatic cancer patients suffer from glucose intolerance or even diabetes because high glucose levels can contribute to oxidative stress which promotes tumor development. As one of the reactive oxygen species (ROS)-regulating factors, thioredoxin-interacting protein (TXNIP), is involved in the maintenance of thioredoxin (TRX)-mediated redox regulation. In this study, we demonstrated that high glucose levels increased the expression of TXNIP in time-and concentration-dependent manners and modulated the activity of TRX and ROS production in pancreatic cancer cells, BxPC-3 and Panc-1. We also found that glucose activated both p38 MAPK and ...
GRP58 is a highly conserved protein that belongs to the superfamily of thioredoxin cysteine glycine histidine cysteine-containing proteins (3). The presence of two thioredoxin-like domains suggested that GRP58 functions as an oxidoreductase (3, 5). GRP58 was found to be localized in cytosol, nucleus, and endoplasmic reticulum and implicated in several functions including proper folding of proteins, DNA attachment to matrix, and chaperone for STAT3 (6, 8, 9). It is expected that subcellular localization of GRP58 might be regulated by posttranslational modifications (15). The results indicated that thioredoxin-like domains are not required for subcellular distribution of GRP58. However, the studies in this report show that GRP58 does function as an oxidoreductase that catalyzes reduction of insulin. Therefore, it is possible that GRP58 plays an important role in reduction of proteins for proper folding and/or unknown functions. It is also possible that thioredoxin-like domains are required for ...

The ORP100S therapeutic strategy is based on supplementing the activity of the human protein thioredoxin-1 (TXN1), which is normally secreted onto the airway surface where it acts selectively to modify certain types of protein disulfide bonds formed between cysteine amino acids. The thioredoxin mechanism targets airway mucus to keep it at a normal viscosity (thickness and stickiness) and able to maintain the essential process of mucus clearance that sweeps the lungs clean of inhaled material and excess fluid. Thioredoxin also targets regulatory (allosteric) disulfide bonds on immune system proteins as part of a natural homeostatic mechanism to prevent excessive release of cytokines in response to inflammatory stimulus. Together, impaired airway clearance and abnormally elevated cytokine release comprise key pulmonary manifestations of moderate to severe COVID-19 that can lead to systemic disease and poor outcomes ...

This gene encodes a thioredoxin-binding protein that is a member of the alpha arrestin protein family. Thioredoxin is a thiol-oxidoreductase that is a major regulator of cellular redox signaling which protects cells from oxidative stress. This protein inhibits the antioxidative function of thioredoxin resulting in the accumulation of reactive oxygen species and cellular stress. This protein also functions as a regulator of cellular metabolism and of endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress. This protein may also function as a tumor suppressor. Alternate splicing results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, Sep 2015 ...
Aberrant expression of thioredoxin 1 (Trx1) plays an important role in cancer initiation and progression and has gained attention as an anticancer drug target. Here we report that the recently discovered natural diterpenoid isoforretin A (IsoA) significantly inhibits Trx1 activity and mediates anticancer effects in multiple preclinical settings. The inhibitory effect of IsoA was antagonized by free radical scavengers polyethylene glycol-catalase, polyethylene glycol superoxide dismutase, thiol- based antioxidants N-acetylcysteine and glutathione. Mass spectrometry analysis revealed that the mechanism of action was based on direct conjugation of IsoA to the Cys32/Cys35 residues of Trx1. This conjugation event attenuated reversible thiol reduction of Trx1, leading to ROS accumulation and a broader degradation of thiol redox homeostasis in cancer cells. Extending these in vitro findings, we documented that IsoA administration inhibited the growth of HepG2 tumors in a murine xenograft model of ...

AU - Mundell, Stuart J. AU - Coxon, Carmen H. PY - 2016/10/7. Y1 - 2016/10/7. N2 - Thioredoxin (Trx) is an oxidoreductase with important physiological function. Imbalances in the NADPH/thioredoxin reductase/thioredoxin system are associated with a number of pathologies, particularly cancer, and a number of clinical trials for thioredoxin and thioredoxin reductase inhibitors have been carried out or are underway. Due to the emerging role and importance of oxidoreductases for haemostasis and the current interest in developing inhibitors for clinical use, we thought it pertinent to assess whether inhibition of the NADPH/thioredoxin reductase/thioredoxin system affects platelet function and thrombosis. We used small molecule inhibitors of Trx (PMX 464 and PX-12) to determine whether Trx activity influences platelet ...

Thioredoxin reductases (TR, TrxR) (EC 1.8.1.9) are the only known enzymes to reduce thioredoxin (Trx). Two classes of thioredoxin reductase have been identified: one class in bacteria and some eukaryotes and one in animals. Both classes are flavoproteins which function as homodimers. Each monomer contains a FAD prosthetic group, a NADPH binding domain, and an active site containing a redox-active disulfide bond. Thioredoxin reductase is the only enzyme known to catalyze the reduction of thioredoxin and hence is a central component in the thioredoxin system. Together with thioredoxin (Trx) and NADPH this systems most general description is as a method of forming reduced disulfide bonds in cells. Electrons are taken from NADPH via TrxR and are transferred to the active site of Trx, which goes on to reduce protein disulfides or other substrates. The Trx system exists in all living cells and has an evolutionary history tied to DNA as a genetic material, defense against oxidative damage due to ...

TY - CONF. T1 - The effect of oxidative stress on thioredoxin1 distribution and associated binding partners in T cells. AU - Remtulla, Ali. AU - Torrao, Rita. AU - Wilmot, Chloe. AU - Griffiths, Helen. PY - 2016/7/1. Y1 - 2016/7/1. N2 - Ageing is associated with a progressive decline in immune function that contributes to age-related diseases. Growing evidence suggests that increased reactive oxygen species (ROS) production occurs with age. This can alter a variety of immune functions including T cell function and proliferation. Key antioxidants are involved in removing ROS and maintaining the cellular redox state of the cell such as glutathione (GSH), peroxiredoxin (Prx) and thioredoxin (Trx) systems. The main objective of this study was to look at the effect of oxidative stress to these key systems and to identify the changes to binding partners and Trx1 distribution. Activation of T cells in PBMCs using anti-CD3/CD28 antibodies was undertaken to look at Trx1 distribution and secretion during ...
Reactive oxygen species (ROS)-mediated activation of inflammasome is involved in the development of a wide spectrum of diseases. We aimed to investigate whether (-)schisandrin B [(-)Sch B], a phytochemical that can induce cellular antioxidant response, can suppress the inflammasome activation. Results showed that (-)Sch B can induce an nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2-driven thioredoxin expression in primary peritoneal macrophages and cultured RAW264.7 macrophages. A 4-h priming of peritoneal macrophages with LPS followed by a 30-min incubation with ATP caused the activation of caspase 1 and the release of IL-1β, indicative of inflammasome activation. Although LPS/ATP did not activate inflammasome in RAW264.7 macrophages, it caused the ROS-dependent c-Jun N-terminal kinase1/2 (JNK1/2) activation and an associated lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) release in RAW264.7 macrophages, an indication of cytotoxicity. (-)Sch B suppressed the LPS/ATP-induced activation of caspase 1 and release of ...
This study shows that Trx can be glutathionylated under conditions of oxidative stress. Glutathionylation was confirmed by incubating rhTrx with GSSG at a concentration (5 mM) that can be observed in vivo under conditions of oxidative stress or in cellular compartments such as the endoplasmic reticulum where the GSH/GSSG ratio can be 1 (22).. The mass spectrometric analysis showed that, at a GSSG concentration of 5 mM, only one GSH can be attached to rhTrx at Cys-72. This higher susceptibility of Cys-72 to oxidation is very likely caused by the fact that it is easily accessible in the active site surface of the three-dimensional structure of Trx (23). In fact, when we synthesized peptides reproducing partial Trx sequences and treated them with GSSG, we found that all Cys with the exception of one of those in the CGPC active site were equally susceptible to glutathionylation. Thus the susceptibility of Cys-72 appears to be observed only within the entire protein with its three-dimensional ...
Vascular thiol redox state has been shown to modulate vasodilator functions in large conductance Ca2+-activated K+ channels and other related channels. However, the role of vascular redox in small resistance arteries is unknown. To determine how in vivo modulation of thiol redox state affects small resistance arteries relaxation, we generated a transgenic mouse strain that overexpresses thioredoxin, a small redox protein (Trx-Tg), and another strain that is thioredoxin-deficient (dnTrx-Tg). The redox state of the mesenteric arteries (MAs) in Trx-Tg mice is found to be predominantly in reduced state; in contrast, MAs from dnTrx-Tg mice remain in oxidized state. Thus, we created an in vivo redox system of mice and isolated the second-order branches of the main superior MAs from wild-type, Trx-Tg, or dnTrx-Tg mice to assess endothelium-dependent relaxing responses in a wire myograph.

RdCVF, a truncated mouse thioredoxin is specifically expressed by rod photoreceptor cells and prevents the apoptosis of cone cells. However the protective mechanism of RdCVF and the implications of its human homologue, thioredoxin-like 6 (TXNL6), on the apoptosis of retinal cells remain unknown. In this study, we examined the function of TXNL6 and investigated its mechanism of protection using a cone photoreceptor cell line, 661W. We found that the photooxidative stress-induced degradation of NF-κB proteins is rescued by overexpression of TXNL6, which enabled the NF-κB transactivation activity. Furthermore, the overexpression of TXNL6 rescued the photooxidative stress-induced apoptosis of 661W cells. Interestingly, this protective effect was significantly blocked by NF-κB specific inhibitors ...
Under certain conditions, ROS generated from cell metabolism causes more cell damages, and ROS generally includes super oxide, peroxide, and hydroxyl radical et al. [32]. In order to prevent from ROS damages, microorganisms build a perfect defense system, which involves some essential oxidoreductases and compounds, such as peroxiredoxins (Prxs), thioredoxin (TRX) and its reductase (TrxR), glutathione and its reductase (GLR) and peroxidase (GPX), catalase (CTT1), and superoxide dismutase (SOD) (Fig. 7a). These oxidoreductases might be also related to the tolerance to some specific inhibitors [32, 33]. Actually, the peroxiredoxin, encoded by KmTPX1, has been proved to contribute to an obvious enhancement of tolerance to both oxidative stress and lignocellulose-derived inhibitors [29]. Therefore, to further explore the potential functions of oxidoreductases on cells survival under tough conditions, the thioredoxin system from K. marxianus, composed of thioredoxin (KmTrx) and its reductase (KmTrxR), ...
Bacterial growth and pathogenicity depend on the correct formation of disulfide bonds, a process controlled by the Dsb system in the periplasm of Gram-negative bacteria. Proteins with a thioredoxin fold play a central role in this process. A general feature of thiol-disulfide exchange reactions is the need to avoid a long lived product complex between protein partners. We use a multidisciplinary approach, involving NMR, x-ray crystallography, surface plasmon resonance, mutagenesis, and in vivo experiments, to investigate the interaction between the two soluble domains of the transmembrane reductant conductor DsbD. Our results show oxidation state-dependent affinities between these two domains. These observations have implications for the interactions of the ubiquitous thioredoxin-like proteins with their substrates, provide insight into the key role played by a unique redox partner with an immunoglobulin fold, and are of general importance for oxidative protein-folding pathways in all organisms.
Diabetes mellitus (DM) is closely related to cardiovascular morbidity and mortality, but the specific molecular basis linking DM with increased vulnerability to cardiovascular injury remains incompletely understood. Methylglyoxal (MG), a precursor to advanced glycation end products (AGEs), is increased in diabetic patient plasma, but its role in diabetic cardiovascular complications is unclear. Thioredoxin (Trx), a cytoprotective molecule with antiapoptotic function, has been demonstrated to be vulnerable to glycative inhibition, but whether Trx is glycatively inhibited by MG, thus contributing to increased cardiac injury, has never been investigated. Cultured H9c2 cardiomyocytes were treated with MG (200 µM) for 6 days. The following were determined pre- and post-simulated ischemia-reperfusion (SI-R; 8 h of hypoxia followed by 3 h of reoxygenation): cardiomyocyte death/apoptosis, Trx expression and activity, AGE formation, Trx-apoptosis-regulating kinase-1 (Trx-ASK1) complex formation, and p38 ...

Endogenous redox systems not only counteract oxidative damage induced by high levels of hydroxyl radicals (OH·) under pathological conditions, but also shape redox signaling as a key player in the regulation of physiological processes. Second messengers like hydrogen peroxide and nitric oxide, as well as redox enzymes of the Thioredoxin (Trx) family, including Trxs, glutaredoxins (Grxs), and peroxiredoxins (Prxs) modulate reversible, oxidative modifications of proteins. Thereby redox regulation is part of various cellular processes such as the immune response and Trx proteins have been linked in different disorders including inflammatory diseases. Here, we have analyzed the protein distribution of representative oxidoreductases of the Trx fold protein family-Trx1, Grx1, Grx2, and Prx2-in a murine model of allergic asthma bronchiale, as well as their potential therapeutic impact on type-2 driven airway inflammation. Ovalbumin (OVA) sensitization and challenge using the type-2 prone Balb/c mouse ...

That was the impetus for Foundation-funded researchers José Sahel, M.D., and Thierry Léveillard, Ph.D., to search for, and ultimately discover, a cone-saving protein they call rod-derived cone-viability factor, or RdCVF. After years of refinement and testing in animal models, the emerging therapy is about a year and a half from moving into a clinical trial at the Foundation-funded Paris Research Center for the Study of Retinal Degenerative Diseases.. While the two scientists from the Institut de la Vision have been optimistic about the ability of RdCVF to save vision in people, results from a new study, reported at ARVO and published in the journal Cell, have taken their confidence to a new level. By studying RdCVF in mice and chickens, the latter of which have cone-rich retinas, they identified its mechanism of action. In other words, now they know precisely why it works so well.. The researchers found that RdCVF boosts the uptake of energy to the cones. Also, the protein may help regenerate ...
