Phelan (Corresponding Author) Department of Biology, Fairfield University Fairfield, CT 06430, USA Tel: 203-254-4000 x3120 E-mail: [email protected] Abstract Peroxiredoxins are thiol-specific antioxidants that protect cells from oxidative damage and have proliferative and anti-apoptotic activity. We investigated the effect of serum and phorbol ester treatment on expression of Prdx1 and Prdx6 in H2.35 cells, and the possible role of Sp1 on Prdx6 induction. Serum stimulation induced a 30% increase in Prdx1 mRNA and a three-fold increase in Prdx6 mRNA. We showed a similar effect of phorbol ester treatment, which led to a 30% increase in Prdx1 mRNA, and over a two-fold increase in Prdx6 expression. Analysis of the Prdx6 proximal promoter sequence revealed four consensus Sp1 sites. Inhibition of Sp1 with mithramycin A blocked Prdx6 induction by TPA and inhibited the serum-induced transcriptional activity of the Prdx6 proximal promoter. These data suggest an important role for Prdx6 in the cellular response to serum and TPA, and implicate Sp1 as a possible mediator of Prdx6 regulation. Keywords: Peroxiredoxin, Prdx1, Prdx6, H2.35, Antioxidant, TPA, Serum 1. Introduction Reactive oxygen species (ROS) are unstable free radical derivates of oxygen formed as byproducts of many biochemical processes in the cell. ROS serve critical functions for many types of cells (Halliwell and Gutteridge, 1999), and recently have been implicated as key regulators of signal transduction (Immenschuh and Baumgart-Vogt, 2005). However, when concentrations of ROS become too high, macromolecules can become oxidized, causing detrimental cellular effects such as cell death (Halliwell and Gutteridge, 1999). These consequences have pathophysiological relevance, as oxidative stress is linked to the development of a number of diseases including cancer and neurodegenerative disease (Cross et al., 1987; Sun and Chen, 1998; Gius and Spitz, 2006). Peroxiredoxin proteins are thiol-specific antioxidant enzymes that reduce various cellular peroxide substrates using cysteine-containing active sites (Hofmann et al., 2002; Rhee et al., 2005). Mammals possess six members of the peroxiredoxin gene family, and the encoded proteins are classified into three groupings based on the number and position of active site cysteines: the 2-Cys type (Prdx1-4), the atypical 2-Cys Prdx (Prdx5), and the 1-cys member (Prdx6). In addition to their structural differences, these proteins vary in peroxide substrate specificity, cellular localization, tissue expression, and additional enzymatic activities (Hofmann et al., 2002; Rhee et al., 2005). Based on their functions, 3 Vol. 2, No. 1 International Journal of Biology peroxiredoxins can protect cells from ROS-induced cell damage and apoptosis, and regulate redox sensitive cell signaling involved in processes such as cell proliferation, differentiation, and transformation (Hofmann et al., 2002;

  • Women's Rights in China and Feminism on Chinese Social Media
    Issue Brief June 14, 2021 Women’s Rights in China and Feminism on Chinese Social Media Frida Lindberg In recent years, women in China have to a greater extent than previously raised their voices about issues relating to women’s rights and gender equality. Social media has served as an important tool and venue for women to share their own experiences with sexual harassment, domestic violence, and gender discrimination in the labor market. Yet, while the feminist movement has been on the rise over the past ten years, feminists and women in China who speak up about gender-related issues nevertheless face threats, antagonism, and censorship online.1China has stated that it aims to empower women and protect their rights.2 However, activities and discourses that have the potential to disturb the existing social order or challenge the authorities are not tolerated by the government, as social stability is one of its top priorities.3,4 This paper addresses how women and feminists in China use social media to speak up, while at the same time having to cope with gender antagonism in Chinese society and monitoring efforts by the government. Oppression and Discrimination Against enshrined in the constitution, while initiatives that Women in China involved women in building the new communist China were introduced.8 Through posters and In ancient China, women were subordinate to first speeches, the party projected the image of female and foremost their fathers, secondly their husbands, socialist icons, so-called “iron women”, who were and lastly, as widows, their sons. At that time, depicted as labor heroes that also managed to religious and philosophical norms had been set up maintain a harmonious family.

  • Music-Based TV Talent Shows in China: Celebrity and Meritocracy in the Post-Reform Society
    Music-Based TV Talent Shows in China: Celebrity and Meritocracy in the Post-Reform Society by Wei Huang B. A., Huaqiao University, 2013 Extended Essays Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Master of Arts in the School of Communication (Dual Degree in Global Communication) Faculty of Communication, Art & Technology © Wei Huang 2015 SIMON FRASER UNIVERSITY Summer 2015 Approval Name: Wei Huang Degree: Master of Arts (Communication) Title: Music-Based TV Talent Shows in China: Celebrity and Meritocracy in the Post-Reform Society Examining Committee: Program Director: Yuezhi Zhao Professor Frederik Lesage Senior Supervisor Assistant Professor School of Communication Simon Fraser University Baohua Wang Supervisor Professor School of Communication Communication University of China Date Defended/Approved: August 31, 2015 ii Abstract Meritocracy refers to the idea that whatever our social position at birth, society should offer the means for those with the right “talent” to “rise to top.” In context of celebrity culture, it could refer to the idea that society should allow all of us to have an equal chance to become celebrities. This article argues that as a result of globalization and consumerism in the post-reform market economy, the genre of music-based TV talent shows has become one of the most popular TV genres in China and has at the same time become a vehicle of a neoliberal meritocratic ideology. The rise of the ideology of meritocracy accompanied the pace of market reform in post-1980s China and is influenced by the loss of social safety nets during China’s transition from a socialist to a market economy.

  • Global Television Formats in the People's Republic of China
    Global Television Formats in the People’s Republic of China: Popular Culture, Identity and the ‘Mongolian Cow Sour Yoghurt Super Girls Contest’. University of New South Wales 26th November 2007 THE UNIVERSITY OF NEW SOUTH WALES Thesis/Dissertation Sheet Surname or Family name: Zhu First name: Xi Wen Other name/s: Serena Abbreviation for degree as given in the University calendar: Masters of Arts by Research School: English, Media and Performing Arts Faculty: Arts and Social Science Title: Global Television Formats in the People’s Republic of China: Popular Culture, Identity and the ‘Mongolian Cow Sour Yoghurt Super Girls Contest’. Abstract 350 words maximum: (PLEASE TYPE) This thesis analyses the television program known as ‘Super Girls’, which aired on Hunan Satellite Television from 2004-2006 in the Peoples’ Republic of China. In the West, this program is sometimes referred to as ‘Chinese Idol’ because of its similarities to the globally popular television format, ‘Idol’. Although ‘Super Girls’ shares many similarities with ‘Idol’ there are also equally important differences. This thesis examines these differences as a way of theorising the how the program negotiates the localisation of a Western television format. First, the program is placed in the broader context of the increased liberalisation and commercialisation of the Chinese television industry. Secondly, the thesis analyses the concept of format television and presents the logic behind the global shift toward producing this type of programming. Next, specific aspects of Super Girls are analysed in detail to bring out how the program functioned culturally in the context of China. These aspects of Super Girls include, the way the program represents the changing role and potential of television from the PRC to contribute to negotiations on Chinese identity that take place among the various symbolic universes of Cultural China, including the global Chinese Diaspora.
