Recent studies have linked oxidative stress to cancers, particularly thyroid cancer, but the mechanisms remain unclear. Here, we further characterize the role of oxidative stress in thyroid cancer by analyzing the expression of two selenium antioxidant molecules, glutathione peroxidase (GPx1) and thioredoxin reductase (TrxR1) in thyroid cancer cells. Methods: Samples of both healthy thyroid tissue and thyroid tumor were taken for analysis after total thyroidectomy. The expression of GPx1 and TrxR1 was revealed by Western blot analysis and quantifed by densitometric analy- ses, while the evaluation of free radicals was performed by Electron Paramagnetic Resonance (EPR)-spin trapping technique. Results: Our results show a decrease in the expression of GPx1 and TrxR1 ( 45.7 and 43.2% respectively, p < 0.01) in the thyroid cancer cells compared to the healthy cells. In addition, the EPR− technique− shows an increase of free radicals in tumor tissue, signifcantly higher than that found in healthy thyroid tissue ( 116.3%, p < 0.01). + Conclusions: Our fndings underscore the relationship between thyroid cancer and oxidative stress, showing the imbalance of the oxidant/antioxidant system in thyroid cancer tissue.

The NH2 terminus appears to be NaCl gradient. The receptor was detected by analysis for 3H blocked. The steroid-binding domain, defined by a unique radioactivity. Each purification resulted in a yield of '50 ,g tryptic cleavage site, corresponds to the COOH-terminal part of GR, starting from eight rat livers. The purified prepara- of the protein with the domain border in the region of residue tions of GR contained the 94-kDa GR, the 72-kDa GR- 518. The DNA-binding domain, defined by a region with associated protein that is unrelated to GR (12, 13), as well as chymotryptic cleavage sites, is immediately adjacent to the very small amounts of proteolytic GR fragments (usually steroid-binding domain and reflects another domain border in <5% of total protein according to densitometric analysis of the region of residues 410-414.

Abstract: Thioredoxin-interacting protein (TXNIP), widely known as thioredoxin-binding protein 2 (TBP2), is a major binding mediator in the thioredoxin (TXN) antioxidant system, which involves a reduction-oxidation (redox) signaling complex and is pivotal for the pathophysiology of some diseases. TXNIP increases reactive oxygen species production and oxidative stress and thereby contributes to apoptosis. Recent studies indicate an evolving role of TXNIP in the pathogenesis of complex diseases such as metabolic disorders, neurological disorders, and inflammatory illnesses. In addition, TXNIP has gained significant attention due to its wide range of functions in energy metabolism, insulin sensitivity, improved insulin secretion, and also in the regulation of glucose and tumor suppressor activities in various cancers. This review aims to highlight the roles of TXNIP in the field of diabetology, neurodegenerative diseases, and inflammation. TXNIP is found to be a promising novel therapeutic target in the current review, not only in the aforementioned diseases but also in prolonged microvascular and macrovascular diseases. Therefore, TXNIP inhibitors hold promise for preventing the growing incidence of complications in relevant diseases.

  • Is Glyceraldehyde-3-Phosphate Dehydrogenase a Central Redox Mediator?
    1 Is glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase a central redox mediator? 2 Grace Russell, David Veal, John T.

The switch of GAPDH function, from what would be 20 considered as its main metabolic role, to its alternate activities, is often under the 21 influence of redox active compounds. Reactive oxygen species (ROS), such as 22 hydrogen peroxide, along with reactive nitrogen species (RNS), such as nitric oxide, 23 are produced by a variety of mechanisms in cells, including from metabolic 24 processes, with their accumulation in cells being dramatically increased under stress 25 conditions. Overall, such reactive compounds contribute to the redox signaling of the 26 cell. Commonly redox signaling leads to post-translational modification of proteins, 27 often on the thiol groups of cysteine residues. In GAPDH the active site cysteine can 28 be modified in a variety of ways, but of pertinence, can be altered by both ROS and 29 RNS, as well as hydrogen sulfide and glutathione.

  • The C718T Polymorphism in the 3″-Untranslated
    Hypertension Research (2012) 35, 507–512 & 2012 The Japanese Society of Hypertension All rights reserved 0916-9636/12 www.nature.com/hr ORIGINAL ARTICLE The C718T polymorphism in the 3¢-untranslated region of glutathione peroxidase-4 gene is a predictor of cerebral stroke in patients with essential hypertension Alexey V Polonikov1, Ekaterina K Vialykh2, Mikhail I Churnosov3, Thomas Illig4, Maxim B Freidin5, Oksana V Vasil¢eva1, Olga Yu Bushueva1, Valentina N Ryzhaeva1, Irina V Bulgakova1 and Maria A Solodilova1 In the present study we have investigated the association of three single nucleotide polymorphisms in glutathione peroxidase (GPx) genes GPX1 rs1050450 (P198L), GPX3 rs2070593 (G930A) and GPX4 rs713041 (T718C) with the risk of cerebral stroke (CS) in patients with essential hypertension (EH). A total of 667 unrelated EH patients of Russian origin, including 306 hypertensives (the EH–CS group) who suffered from CS and 361 people (the EH–CS group) who did not have cerebrovascular accidents, were enrolled in the study. The variant allele 718C of the GPX4 gene was found to be significantly associated with an increased risk of CS in hypertensive patients (odds ratio (OR) 1.53, 95% confidence interval (CI) 1.23–1.90, Padj¼0.0003). The prevalence of the 718TC and 718CC genotypes of the GPX4 gene was higher in the EH–CS group than the EH-alone group (OR¼2.12, 95%CI 1.42–3.16, Padj¼0.0018). The association of the variant GPX4 genotypes with the increased risk of CS in hypertensives remained statistically significant after adjusting for confounding variables such as sex, body mass index (BMI), blood pressure and antihypertensive medication use (OR¼2.18, 95%CI 1.46–3.27, P¼0.0015).
