Human prx1 Gene Is a Target of Nrf2 and Is Up-regulated by Hypoxia/Reoxygenation: Implication to Tumor Biology

Abstract: Peroxiredoxin 1 (Prx1) has been found to be elevated in several human cancers. The cell survival-enhancing function of Prx1 is traditionally attributed to its reactive oxygen species-removing capacity, although the growth-promoting role of Prx1 independent of this antioxidant activity is increasingly gaining attention. Although much progress has been made in understanding the behavior of Prx1, little information is available on the mechanism responsible for the abnormal elevation of Prx1 level in cancer. We hy… Show more

“…Although constitutive expression in a tumorigenic situation could be devastating because it could provide a survival advantage to invasive and metastatic cancer cells, such as the adaptation to microenvironment and the evolvement of chemoresistance in cancer cells that are known to occur in tumor hypoxia (38,39). In addition, cross-talk between tumor hypoxia and induction of Nrf2 has also been suggested recently (40). It is also noteworthy that inhibition of the Nrf2 pathway in these cancer cells enhanced sensitivity to the anti-cancer reagent cisplatin.…”

“…Phosphorylation of PrxI and II by cdc2/cyclin B complexes regulates oligomeric transitions and peroxidase activity, providing yet another mechanism to control the activity and structural state of these enzymes during the cell cycle. Changes in Prx mRNA and protein expression levels occur in many disease states, including cancer [74][75][76][77], suggesting that control of Prx function is regulated at both transcriptional and post-translational levels. While these observations show that the biological functions of individual Prxs exceed the mere reduction of H 2 O 2 , additional investigation is needed to define the array of protein complexes that include Prxs in mammalian cells, and to understand how changes in oxidation state and structural transitions of Prxs contribute to signal transduction in specific regulatory networks.…”

“…The ARE was first identified as cis-element in the upstream regulatory region of the GSTA2 gene (5) and was found in the promoters of detoxifying enzyme genes such as glutathione S-transferases (6), NAD(P)H:quinone oxidoreductases (NQOs) (7,8), gastrointestinal glutathione peroxidase (9), and peroxiredoxin1 (10). The ARE is recognized by a subset of Cap'n'Collarcontaining basic leucine zipper proteins, nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factors (Nrfs), including Nrf1, Nrf2, and Nrf3.…”
