Abstract: Phosphatase and tensin homolog deleted on chromosome 10 (PTEN) is known as a tumor suppressor gene that is frequently mutated in numerous human cancers and inherited syndromes. PTEN functions as a negative regulator of PI3K/Akt signaling pathway by dephosphorylating phosphatidylinositol (3, 4, 5)-trisphosphate (PIP3) to phosphatidylinositol (4, 5)-bisphosphate (PIP2), which leads to the inhibition of cell growth, proliferation, cell survival, and protein synthesis. PTEN contains a cysteine residue in the active site that can be oxidized by peroxides, forming an intramolecular disulfide bond between Cys124 and Cys71. Redox regulation of PTEN by reactive oxygen species (ROS) plays a crucial role in cellular signaling. Peroxiredoxins (Prxs) are a superfamily of peroxidase that catalyzes reduction of peroxides and maintains redox homeostasis. Mammalian Citation: Nguyen Huu, T.; Park, J.; Prxs have 6 isoforms (I-VI) and can scavenge cellular peroxides. It has been demonstrated that Zhang, Y.; Park, I.; Yoon, H.J.; Woo, H.A.; Lee, S.-R. Redox Regulation of Prx I can preserve and promote the tumor-suppressive function of PTEN by preventing oxidation PTEN by Peroxiredoxins.

Furthermore, Prx III has been shown to protect PTEN from 10.3390/antiox10020302 oxidation induced by 15s-HpETE and 12s-HpETE, these are potent inflammatory and pro-oxidant mediators. Understanding the tight connection between PTEN and Prxs is important for providing Academic Editor: Ho Hee Jang novel therapies. Herein, we summarized recent studies focusing on the relationship of Prxs and the redox regulation of PTEN.

Introduction published maps and institutional affil- iations. The phosphoinositide-3-kinase/protein kinase B (PI3K/Akt) pathway is the critical in- tracellular signaling in controlling a variety of cellular processes [1]. PI3Ks are intracellular lipid kinases that are conserved from yeast to mammals. It catalyzes the phosphorylation reaction of phosphatidylinositol (PI) at hydroxyl groups to form phosphoinositides [2]. There are three classes of PI3Ks: class I, II, and III, depending on the structure and substrate Copyright: © 2021 by the authors. specificity. Among three classes, class I PI3K has the primary function of inducing the Licensee MDPI, Basel, Switzerland. accumulation of PIP3 by PIP2 phosphorylation [2–4].
