Decreasing peroxiredoxin II expression decreases glutathione, alters cell cycle distribution, and sensitizes glioma cells to ionizing radiation and H(2)O(2).

Abstract

Glioblastomas are notorious for their resistance to ionizing radiation and chemotherapy. We hypothesize that this resistance to ionizing radiation is due, in part, to alterations in antioxidant enzymes. Here, we show that rat and human glioma cells overexpress the antioxidant enzyme peroxiredoxin II (Prx II). Glioma cells in which Prx II is decreased using shRNA exhibit increased hyperoxidation of the remaining cellular Prxs, suggesting that the redox environment is more oxidizing. Of interest, decreasing Prx II does not alter other antioxidant enzymes (i.e., catalase, GPx, Prx I, Prx III, CuZnSOD, and MnSOD). Analysis of the redox environment revealed that decreasing Prx II increased intracellular reactive oxygen species in 36B10 cells; extracellular levels of H(2)O(2) were also increased in both C6 and 36B10 cells. Treatment with H(2)O(2) led to a further elevation in intracellular reactive oxygen species in cells where Prx II was decreased. Decreasing Prx II expression in glioma cells also reduced clonogenic cell survival following exposure to ionizing radiation and H(2)O(2). Furthermore, lowering Prx II expression decreased intracellular glutathione and resulted in a significant decline in glutathione reductase activity, su...Continue Reading

Astrocytes

Astrocytes are glial cells that support the blood-brain barrier, facilitate neurotransmission, provide nutrients to neurons, and help repair damaged nervous tissues. Here is the latest research.

Astrocytes & Neurodegeneration

Astrocytes are important for the health and function of the central nervous system. When these cells stop functioning properly, either through gain of function or loss of homeostatic controls, neurodegenerative diseases can occur. Here is the latest research on astrocytes and neurodegeneration.
