Abstract
Sestrin2 is involved in a different cellular response to stress conditions. However, the function of Sestrin2 in the cardiovascular system remains unknown. In the present study, we tested whether Sestrin2 has a beneficial effect on macrophage cell apoptosis induced by oxidized low-density lipoprotein (oxLDL). We found that oxLDL induces expression of Sestrin2 in RAW264.7 cells in a time-dependent and dose-dependent manner. We also found that knockdown of Sestrin2 using small RNA interference promotes cell apoptosis and reactive oxygen species production induced by oxLDL. In addition, our results show that the c-Jun NH(2)-terminal kinase (JNK)/c-Jun pathway is activated by oxLDL. Inhibiting the activity of the JNK pathway abolishes the increase of Sestrin2 induced by oxLDL. These findings suggest that the inductive effect of Sestrin2 is mediated by the JNK/c-Jun pathway. Our results indicate that the induction of Sestrin2 acts as a compensatory response to oxLDL for survival, implying that stimulating expression of Sestrin2 might be an effective pharmacological target for the treatment of lipid-related cardiovascular diseases.

Abstract
The regulation of AMPK in the ischemic heart remains incompletely understood. Recent evidence implicates the role of Sestrin2 in the AMPK signaling pathway, and it is hypothesized that Sestrin2 plays an influential role during myocardial ischemia to promote AMPK activation. Sestrin2 protein was found to be expressed in adult cardiomyocytes and accumulated in the heart during ischemic conditions. Sestrin2 knockout (KO) mice were used to determine the importance of Sestrin2 during ischemia and reperfusion (I/R) injury. When wild-type (WT) and Sestrin2 KO mice were subjected to in vivo I/R, myocardial infarct size was significantly greater in Sestrin2 KO compared with WT hearts. Similarly, Langendorff perfused hearts indicated exacerbated postischemic contractile function in Sestrin2 KO hearts compared with WT. Ischemic AMPK activation was found to be impaired in the Sestrin2 KO hearts. Immunoprecipitation of Sestrin2 demonstrated an association with AMPK. Moreover, liver kinase B1 (LKB1), a major AMPK upstream kinase, was associated with the Sestrin2-AMPK complex in a time-dependent manner during ischemia, whereas this interaction was nearly abolished in Sestrin2 KO hearts. Thus, Sestrin2 plays an important role in cardioprotection against I/R injury, serving as an LKB1-AMPK scaffold to initiate AMPK activation during ischemic insults.

Abstract
Sestrins (Sesns) are conserved antioxidant proteins that accumulate in cells in response to various stresses. However, the regulatory roles of Sesn2 in the immune system and in inflammatory responses remain obscure. In the present study, we investigated whether Sesn2 regulates Toll like receptor (TLR)-mediated inflammatory signaling and sought to identify the molecular mechanism responsible. In cells expressing Sesn2, it was found that Sesn2 almost completely inhibited lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced NO release and iNOS expression. A gene knockdown experiment confirmed the role of Sesn2 in LPS-activated RAW264.7 cells. Consistently, proinflammatory cytokine (e.g., TNF-α, IL-6, and IL-1β) release and expression were inhibited in Sesn2-expressing cells. Furthermore, Sesn2 prevented LPS-elicited cell death and ROS production via inhibition of NADPH oxidase. NF-κB and AP-1 are redox-sensitive transcription factors that regulate the expressions of diverse inflammatory genes. Surprisingly, Sesn2 specifically inhibited AP-1 luciferase activity and its DNA binding, but not those of NF-κB. AP-1 inhibition by Sesn2 was found to be due to a lack of JNK, p38, and c-Jun phosphorylation. Next, we investigated whether Sesn2 protects galactosamine (Gal)/LPS-induced liver injury in mice infected with a recombinant adenovirus Sesn2 (Ad-Sesn2). Ad-Sesn2 present less severe hepatic injury as supported by decreases in the ALT, AST, and hepatocyte degeneration. Moreover, Ad-Sesn2 attenuated Gal/LPS-induced proinflammatory gene expression in mice. The study shows that Sesn2 inhibits TLR-induced proinflammatory signaling and protects cells by inhibiting JNK- or p38-mediated c-Jun phosphorylation.

Abstract
Tumor suppressor p53 is inactivated in most cancers and the critical role of p53 in the suppression of carcinogenesis has been confirmed in many mouse models. The protein product of the tumor suppressor p53 gene works as a transcriptional regulator, activating expression of numerous genes involved in cell death, cell cycle arrest, senescence, DNA-repair and many other processes. In spite of the multiple efforts to characterize the functions of p53, the mechanisms of tumor suppression by p53 are still elusive. Recently, new activities of p53 such as regulation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and metabolism have been described and the p53-regulated genes responsible for these functions have been identified. Metabolic derangements and accumulation of ROS are features of carcinogenesis, supporting the idea that many tumor suppressive effects of p53 can be mediated by regulation of metabolism and/or ROS. Mutations in the p53 gene can not only inactivate wild type function of p53 but also endow p53 with new functions such as activation of new metabolic pathways contributing to carcinogenesis. Understanding the metabolic and antioxidant functions of p53 allows us to develop approaches to restore p53 function in cancers, where p53 is inactivated, in other to ensure the best outcome of anti-cancer treatment.

Abstract
The dopamine D2 receptor (D2R) decreases renal reactive oxygen species (ROS) production and regulates blood pressure, in part, via positive regulation of paraoxonase 2. Sestrin2, a highly conserved antioxidant protein, regulates intracellular ROS level by regenerating hyperoxidized peroxiredoxins. We hypothesized that sestrin2 may be involved in preventing excessive renal ROS production and thus contribute to the maintenance of normal blood pressure. Moreover, the D2R may decrease ROS production, in part, through the regulation of sestrin2. Renal sestrin2 expression was lower (-62±13%) in D2R(-/-) than in D2R(+/+) mice. Silencing D2R in human renal proximal tubule cells decreased sestrin2 expression (-53±3%) and increased hyperoxidized peroxiredoxins (2.9-fold). Stimulation of D2R in renal proximal tubule cells increased sestrin2 expression (1.6-fold), decreased hyperoxidized peroxiredoxins (-61±3%), and reduced ROS production (-31±4%). Silencing sestrin2 in renal proximal tubule cells increased hyperoxidized peroxiredoxins (2.1-fold) and ROS production (1.3-fold). Silencing sestrin2 also abolished D2R-induced decrease in peroxiredoxin hyperoxidation and partially prevented the inhibitory effect of D2R stimulation on ROS production. Silencing paraoxonase 2 increased sestrin2 ubiquitinylation (2.8-fold), decreased sestrin2 expression (-30±3%), and increased ROS production (1.3-fold), peroxiredoxin hyperoxidation (2.9-fold), and lipid peroxidation (2.3-fold), and blocked the increase in sestrin2 that occurs with D2R stimulation. In vivo renal selective silencing of sestrin2 by the renal subcapsular infusion of sestrin2 small interfering RNA (3 μg/day; 7 days) in mice increased renal oxidative stress (1.3-fold) and blood pressure. These results suggest that the D2R, via paraoxonase 2 and sestrin2, keeps normal renal redox balance, which contributes to the maintenance of normal blood pressure.

Abstract
Sestrin-2 (SESN2) is a conserved antioxidant protein that is activated upon oxidative stress and protects cells against reactive oxygen species (ROS). However, the role of SESN2 in neurodegenerative diseases, especially in Parkinson's disease (PD), has not yet been elucidated. In this study, we found that expression of SESN2 is elevated in the midbrain of patients with PD. Moreover, in vitro experiments display that the drug 1-methyl-4-phenylpyridinium (MPP+) induces the expression of SESN2 in SH-SY5Y cells in a time- and dose-dependent manner. Our results show that p53 is activated by MPP+. Importantly, inhibition of p53 using small RNA interferences abolishes the increased SESN2 levels induced by MPP+, suggesting that the inductive effect of MPP+ on SESN2 is mediated by p53. Furthermore, knockdown of SESN2 using small RNA interferences promotes MPP+-related neurotoxicity by attenuating oxidative stress, mitochondrial dysfunction, and apoptosis. All these data imply that the induction of SESN2 produces a protective effect in PD.

Abstract
AIMS Neuropathic pain is a chronic debilitating disease that is often unresponsive to currently available treatments. Emerging lines of evidence indicate that reactive oxygen species (ROS) are required for the development and maintenance of neuropathic pain. However, little is known about endogenous mechanisms that neutralize the pain-relevant effects of ROS. In the present study, we tested whether the stress-responsive antioxidant protein Sestrin 2 (Sesn2) blocks the ROS-induced neuropathic pain processing in vivo. RESULTS We observed that Sesn2 mRNA and protein expression was up-regulated in peripheral nerves after spared nerve injury, a well-characterized model of neuropathic pain. Sesn2 knockout (Sesn2(-/-)) mice exhibited considerably increased late-phase neuropathic pain behavior, while their behavior in acute nociceptive and in inflammatory pain models remained unaffected. The exacerbated neuropathic pain behavior of Sesn2(-/-) mice was associated with elevated ROS levels and an enhanced activating transcription factor 3 up-regulation in sensory neurons, and it was reversed by the ROS scavenger N-tert-Butyl-α-phenylnitrone. In contrast, administration of the ROS donor tert-butyl hydroperoxide induced a prolonged pain behavior in naive Sesn2(-/-) mice. INNOVATION We show that the antioxidant function of Sesn2 limits neuropathic pain processing in vivo. CONCLUSION Sesn2 controls ROS-dependent neuropathic pain signaling after peripheral nerve injury and may, thus, provide a potential new target for the clinical management of chronic neuropathic pain conditions.

Abstract
The Sestrins constitute a family of evolutionarily conserved stress-inducible proteins that suppress oxidative stress and regulate AMP-dependent protein kinase (AMPK)-mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) signaling. By virtue of these activities, the Sestrins serve as important regulators of metabolic homeostasis. Accordingly, inactivation of Sestrin genes in invertebrates resulted in diverse metabolic pathologies, including oxidative damage, fat accumulation, mitochondrial dysfunction, and muscle degeneration, that resemble accelerated tissue aging. Likewise, Sestrin deficiencies in mice led to accelerated diabetic progression upon obesity. Further investigation of Sestrin function and regulation should provide new insights into age-associated metabolic diseases, such as diabetes, myopathies, and cancer.

Abstract
Macrophages are present throughout the human body, constitute important immune effector cells, and have variable roles in a great number of pathological, but also physiological, settings. It is apparent that macrophages need to adjust their activation profile toward a steadily changing environment that requires altering their phenotype, a process known as macrophage polarization. Formation of reactive oxygen species (ROS), derived from NADPH-oxidases, mitochondria, or NO-producing enzymes, are not necessarily toxic, but rather compose a network signaling system, known as redox regulation. Formation of redox signals in classically versus alternatively activated macrophages, their action and interaction at the level of key targets, and the resulting physiology still are insufficiently understood. We review the identity, source, and biological activities of ROS produced during macrophage activation, and discuss how they shape the key transcriptional responses evoked by hypoxia-inducible transcription factors, nuclear-erythroid 2-p45-related factor 2 (Nrf2), and peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-γ. We summarize the mechanisms how redox signals add to the process of macrophage polarization and reprogramming, how this is controlled by the interaction of macrophages with their environment, and addresses the outcome of the polarization process in health and disease. Future studies need to tackle the option whether we can use the knowledge of redox biology in macrophages to shape their mediator profile in pathophysiology, to accelerate healing in injured tissue, to fight the invading pathogens, or to eliminate settings of altered self in tumors.

Abstract
Autophagy is a cellular recycling process induced in response to many types of stress. However, little is known of the signaling pathways that regulate autophagy during acute kidney injury (AKI). Bcl-2/adenovirus E1B 19 kDa-interacting protein (BNIP)3 and sestrin-2 are the target proteins of hypoxia-inducible factor (HIF)-1α and p53, respectively. The aim of this study was to investigate the roles of BNIP3 and sestrin-2 in oxidative stress-induced autophagy during AKI. We used rat ischemia-reperfusion injury and cultured renal tubular (NRK-52E) cells as in vivo and in vitro models of AKI, respectively. Renal ischemia-reperfusion injury upregulated the expression of BNIP3 and sestrin-2 in the proximal tubules, as measured by immunohistochemical staining and Western blot analysis. In vitro, NRK-52E cells exposed to hypoxia showed increased expression of BNIP3 mRNA and protein in a HIF-1α-dependent manner. In contrast, sestrin-2 mRNA and protein expression were upregulated in a p53-dependent manner after exposure to oxidative stress (exogenous H2O2). NRK-52E cells stably transfected with a fusion protein between green fluorescent protein and light chain 3 were used to investigate autophagy. Overexpression of BNIP3 or sestrin-2 in these cells induced light chain 3 expression and formation of autophagosomes. Interestingly, BNIP3-induced autophagosomes were mainly localized to the mitochondria, suggesting that this protein selectively induces mitophagy. These observations demonstrate that autophagy is induced in renal tubules by at least two independent pathways involving p53-sestrin-2 and HIF-1α-BNIP3, which may be activated by different types of stress to protect the renal tubules during AKI.

Abstract
Oxidative stress results from damage to tissues caused by free radicals and is increased by exercise. Peroxiredoxins (PRXs) maintain the cellular reducing environment by scavenging intracellular hydrogen peroxide. It has been recently noted that physical exercise has a positive effect on the PRX system, exerting a protective effect against oxidative stress-induced damage. However, other compounds, such as sestrins (SESNs), a stress-inducible protein family with antioxidant properties, should also be considered in the function of PRXs. SESNs are clearly involved in the regeneration process of PRXs and therefore may also be modulated by physical exercise. In addition, SESNs are clearly involved in TOR, AMPK, p53, FoxO, and PRXs signaling pathways. The aforementioned pathways are implicated in aging processes by inducing an increased resistance to subsequent stress, thus delaying age-related changes, such as sarcopenia and frailty, and consequently promoting longevity. Likewise, exercise also modulates these pathways. In fact, exercise is one of the most important recommended strategies to prevent sarcopenia and frailty, increase longevity, and improve health in the elderly. Loss of SESNs can cause several chronic pathologies, such as fat accumulation, mitochondrial dysfunction, cardiac arrhythmia, and/or muscle degeneration. Accordingly, physical inactivity leads to accumulation of visceral fat and consequently the activation of a network of inflammatory pathways, which promote development of insulin resistance, atherosclerosis, neurodegeneration, and tumor growth. To date, the SESNs-exercise relationship has not been explored. However, this emerging family of stress proteins may be part of the redox-based adaptive response to exercise.

The Sestrin2 (Sesn2) gene encodes a conserved antioxidant protein that is induced on oxidative stress and protects cells against reactive oxygen species. NF-E2-related factor-2 (Nrf2) is an essential transcription factor that regulates expression of a variety of antioxidant genes via binding to the antioxidant-response element (ARE), but the role of Nrf2 in Sesn2 gene expression has not been elucidated yet. The present study investigated whether the Nrf2-ARE pathway regulates Sesn2 gene expression and the identification of the molecular mechanism. The Nrf2 activators, tert-butylhydroquinone (t-BHQ) and sulforaphane (SFN), up-regulated Sesn2 expression in a dose- and time-dependent manner in hepatocytes. Also, t-BHQ increased Sesn2 mRNA and luciferase gene activity, whereas the levels of Sesn1 and Sesn3 mRNA were not affected by t-BHQ treatment. The specific role of Nrf2 in Sesn2 induction was verified by using Nrf2 overexpression plasmid and Nrf2 knockout or knockdown cells. In silico analysis of the 5' upstream region of Sesn2 gene identified a putative ARE sequence. Deletion of the putative ARE demonstrated that the ARE from -550 to -539 bp in the human Sesn2 promoter was critical for the Nrf2-mediated response. Moreover, SFN injection increased Sesn2 mRNA and protein levels in the livers of mice. Knockdown experiments with Sesn2 siRNA showed that Sesn2 is required for the Nrf2-mediated cytoprotective activity against hydrogen peroxide. Our results suggest that the Nrf2-ARE pathway is critical for Sesn2 gene expression and might protect against oxidative stress.

Abstract
The respiratory epithelium forms an important barrier against inhaled pollutants and microorganisms, and its barrier function is often compromised during inflammatory airway diseases. Epithelial activation of hypoxia-inducible factor-1 (HIF-1) represents one feature of airway inflammation, but the functional importance of HIF-1 within the respiratory epithelium is largely unknown. Using primary mouse tracheal epithelial (MTE) cells or immortalized human bronchial epithelial cells (16HBE14o-), we evaluated the impact of HIF-1 activation on loss of epithelial barrier function during oxidative stress. Exposure of either 16HBE14o- or MTE cells to H(2)O(2) resulted in significant loss of transepithelial electrical resistance and increased permeability to fluorescein isothiocyanate-dextran (4 kDa), and this was attenuated significantly after prior activation of HIF-1 by preexposure to hypoxia (2% O(2); 6 h) or the hypoxia mimics CoCl(2) or dimethyloxalylglycine (DMOG). Oxidative barrier loss was associated with reduced levels of the tight junction protein occludin and with hyperoxidation of the antioxidant enzyme peroxiredoxin (Prx-SO(2)H), events that were also attenuated by prior activation of HIF-1. Involvement of HIF-1 in these protective effects was confirmed using the pharmacological inhibitor YC-1 and by short-hairpin RNA knockdown of HIF-1α. The protective effects of HIF-1 were associated with induction of sestrin-2, a hypoxia-inducible enzyme known to reduce oxidative stress and minimize Prx hyperoxidation. Together, our results suggest that loss of epithelial barrier integrity by oxidative stress is minimized by activation of HIF-1, in part by induction of sestrin-2.

Abstract
The tumor suppressor p53 protects organisms from most types of cancer through multiple mechanisms. The p53 gene encodes a stress-activated transcriptional factor that transcriptionally regulates a large set of genes with versatile functions. These p53-activated genes mitigate consequences of stress regulating cell viability, growth, proliferation, repair, and metabolism. Recently, we described a novel antioxidant function of p53, which is important for its tumor suppressor activity. Among the many antioxidant genes activated by p53, Sestrins (Sesns) are critical for suppression of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and protection from oxidative stress, transformation, and genomic instability. Sestrins can regulate ROS through their direct effect on antioxidant peroxiredoxin proteins and through the AMP-activated protein kinase-target of rapamycin signaling pathway. The AMP-activated protein kinase-target of rapamycin axis is critical for regulation of metabolism and autophagy, two processes associated with ROS production, and deregulation of this pathway increases vulnerability of the organism to stress, aging, and age-related diseases, including cancer. Recently, we have shown that inactivation of Sestrin in fly causes accumulation of age-associated damage. Hence, Sestrins can link p53 with aging and age-related diseases.

Abstract
Peroxiredoxins (Prx's) are a family of peroxidases that maintain thiol homeostasis by catalyzing the reduction of organic hydroperoxides, H₂O₂, and peroxynitrite. Under conditions of oxidative stress, eukaryotic Prx's can be inactivated by the substrate-dependent oxidation of the catalytic cysteine to sulfinic acid, which may regulate the intracellular messenger function of H₂O₂. A small redox protein, sulfiredoxin (Srx), conserved only in eukaryotes, has been shown to reduce sulfinylated 2-Cys Prx's, adding to the complexity of the H₂O₂ signaling network. In this study, we addressed the regulation of Srx expression in immunostimulated primary macrophages that produce both reactive oxygen species (ROS) and nitric oxide (NO(•)). We present genetic evidence that NO-mediated Srx up-regulation is mediated by the transcription factor nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor (Nrf2). We also show that the NO(•)/Srx pathway inhibits generation of ROS. These results reveal a link between innate immunity and H₂O₂ signaling. We propose that an NO(•)/Nrf2/Srx pathway participates in the maintenance of redox homeostasis in cytokine-activated macrophages and other inflammatory settings.

Abstract
Oxidative stress is thought to be a contributing factor in many chronic neurodegenerative pathologies, as well as acute cerebrovascular disorders such as stroke. Peroxiredoxins are a family of antioxidant enzymes that reduce peroxides directly through the use of a redox active cysteine within their active site, which in the process becomes oxidized. In order to cycle back to the reduced state, many peroxiredoxins rely on thiol-dependent reduction by the ubiquitous antioxidant enzyme thioredoxin. Peroxiredoxins, together with thioredoxin and thioredoxin's own 'recycling enzyme', thioredoxin reductase, represent an antioxidant enzymic system of growing significance in the context of neuronal physiology and pathology. Overexpression, knockdown, and knockout approaches have demonstrated an important role for peroxiredoxins in protecting neurons from oxidative insults. It is also becoming clear that neuronal peroxiredoxins are subjected to post-translational modifications that impair function as part of disease pathology. Conversely, components of this pathway are also subject to dynamic upregulation such as via endogenous synaptic activity-dependent signaling and induction of the Nrf2-dependent Phase II response. As such, the thioredoxin-peroxiredoxin system represents a potential therapeutic target for central nervous system disorders associated with oxidative stress.

Abstract
Nitric oxide is generally considered a pronociceptive retrograde transmitter that, by activation of soluble guanylyl cyclase-mediated cGMP production and activation of cGMP-dependent protein kinase, drives nociceptive hypersensitivity. The duality of its functions, however, is increasingly recognized. This review summarizes nitric-oxide-mediated direct S-nitrosylation of target proteins that may modify nociceptive signaling, including glutamate receptors and G-protein-coupled receptors, transient receptor potential channels, voltage-gated channels, proinflammatory enzymes, transcription factors, and redoxins. S-Nitrosylation events require close proximity of nitric oxide production and target proteins and a permissive redox state in the vicinity. Despite the diversity of potential targets and effects, three major schemes arise that may affect nociceptive signaling: 1) S-Nitrosylation-mediated changes of ion channel gating properties, 2) modulation of membrane fusion and fission, and thereby receptor and channel membrane insertion, and 3) modulation of ubiquitination, and thereby protein degradation or transcriptional activity. In addition, S-Nitrosylation may alter the production of nitric oxide itself.

Abstract
Eukaryotic peroxiredoxins are highly susceptible to sulfinic acid formation. This overoxidation, which is thought to convert peroxiredoxins into chaperones, can be reversed by sulfiredoxins. Several organisms, including Caenorhabditis elegans, lack sulfiredoxins but encode sestrins, proteins proposed to be functionally equivalent. We induced peroxiredoxin overoxidation in C. elegans with a short peroxide pulse. We found that reduction of overoxidized peroxiredoxin 2 (PRDX-2) was extremely slow and sestrin-independent, strongly implying that worms lack an efficient repair system. Analysis of PRDX-2's overoxidation status during C. elegans lifespan revealed no accumulation of overoxidized PRDX-2 at any point, questioning whether PRDX-2 overoxidation in worms is physiologically relevant.

Abstract
Sestrins (Sesns) are a family of highly conserved stress-responsive proteins, transcriptionally regulated by p53 and forkhead transcription factor that exhibit oxidoreductase activity in vitro and can protect cells from oxidative stress. However, their major biochemical and physiological function does not appear to depend on their redox (reduction and oxidation) activity. Sesns promote activation of adenosine-5′-monophosphate (AMP)-dependent protein kinase in both mammals and flies. Stress-induced Sesn expression results in inhibition of the target of rapamycin complex 1 (TORC1) and the physiological and pathological implications of disrupting the Sesns-TORC1 crosstalk are now being unravelled. Detailing their mechanism of action and exploring their roles in human physiology point to exciting new insights to topics as diverse as stress, cancer, metabolism and aging.

Abstract
Induction and activation of nitric oxide (NO) synthases (NOS) and excessive production of NO are common features of almost all diseases associated with infection and acute or chronic inflammation, although the contribution of NO to the pathophysiology of these diseases is highly multifactorial and often still a matter of controversy. Because of its direct impact on tissue oxygenation and cellular oxygen (O(2)) consumption and re-distribution, the ability of NO to regulate various aspects of hypoxia-induced signaling has received widespread attention. Conditions of tissue hypoxia and the activation of hypoxia-inducible factors (HIF) have been implicated in hypoxia or in cancer biology, but are also being increasingly recognized as important features of acute and chronic inflammation. Thus, the activation of HIF transcription factors has been increasingly implicated in inflammatory diseases, and recent studies have indicated its critical importance in regulating phagocyte function, inflammatory mediator production, and regulation of epithelial integrity and repair processes. Finally, HIF also appears to contribute to important features of tissue fibrosis and epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition, processes that are associated with tissue remodeling in various non-malignant chronic inflammatory disorders. In this review, we briefly summarize the current state of knowledge with respect to the general mechanisms involved in HIF regulation and the impact of NO on HIF activation. Secondly, we will summarize the major recent findings demonstrating a role for HIF signaling in infection, inflammation, and tissue repair and remodeling, and will address the involvement of NO. The growing interest in hypoxia-induced signaling and its relation with NO biology is expected to lead to further insights into the complex roles of NO in acute or chronic inflammatory diseases and may point to the importance of HIF signaling as key feature of NO-mediated events during these disorders.

Abstract
The proteins from the thioredoxin family are crucial actors in redox signaling and the cellular response to oxidative stress. The major intracellular source for oxygen radicals are the components of the respiratory chain in mitochondria. Here, we show that the mitochondrial 2-Cys peroxiredoxin (Prx3) is not only substrate for thioredoxin 2 (Trx2), but can also be reduced by glutaredoxin 2 (Grx2) via the dithiol reaction mechanism. Grx2 reduces Prx3 exhibiting catalytic constants (K(m), 23.8 μmol·liter(-1); V(max), 1.2 μmol·(mg·min)(-1)) similar to Trx2 (K(m), 11.2 μmol·liter(-1); V(max), 1.1 μmol·(mg·min)(-1)). The reduction of the catalytic disulfide of the atypical 2-Cys Prx5 is limited to the Trx system. Silencing the expression of either Trx2 or Grx2 in HeLa cells using specific siRNAs did not change the monomer:dimer ratio of Prx3 detected by a specific 2-Cys Prx redox blot. Only combined silencing of the expression of both proteins led to an accumulation of oxidized protein. We further demonstrate that the distribution of Prx3 in different mouse tissues is either linked to the distribution of Trx2 or Grx2. These results introduce Grx2 as a novel electron donor for Prx3, providing further insights into pivotal cellular redox signaling mechanisms.
