Peroxiredoxin III-deficiency Sensitizes Macrophages to Oxidative Stress
Bibliographic record
Abstract
As a mitochondrial scavenger of reactive oxygen species (ROS), peroxiredoxin III (PrxIII) plays an important role in regulating intracellular ROS level. We previously found that PrxIII knockout (PrxIII(-/-)) mice were more sensitive than wild-type (PrxIII(+/+)) controls to intratracheal inoculation of lipopolysaccharide (LPS), but the precise mechanism remained to be obscure. In the present study, we detected the levels of ROS and tumour necrosis factor alpha (TNF-alpha) in mouse bone-marrow-derived macrophages. LPS stimulation induced transient increase of ROS production and augmentation of TNF-alpha accumulation in PrxIII(-/-) macrophages. In addition, we observed reduced viability and increased apoptosis in PrxIII(-/-) macrophages exposed to LPS. Our results provide direct evidence that PrxIII is necessary for macrophages to protect against LPS-induced oxidative stress.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
