Thioredoxin as a Molecular Target of Cyclopentenone Prostaglandins
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Prostaglandin (PG) D2, a major cyclooxygenase product in a variety of tissues and cells, readily undergoes dehydration to yield the bioactive cyclopentenone-type PGs of the J2 series, such as 15-deoxy-Delta12,14-PGJ2 (15d-PGJ2). We have shown previously that 15d-PGJ2 is a potent electrophile that causes intracellular oxidative stress and redox alteration in human neuroblastoma SH-SY5Y cells. In the present study, based on the observation that the electrophilic center of 15d-PGJ2 was involved in the pro-oxidant effect, we investigated the role of thioredoxin 1 (Trx), an endogenous redox regulator, against 15d-PGJ2-induced oxidative cell injury. It was observed that the 15d-PGJ2-induced oxidative stress was significantly suppressed by the Trx overexpression. In addition, the treatment of SH-SY5Y cells with biotinylated 15d-PGJ2 resulted in the formation of a 15d-PGJ2-Trx adduct, indicating that 15d-PGJ2 directly modified the endogenous Trx in the cells. To further examine the mechanism of the 15d-PGJ2 modification of Trx, human recombinant Trx treated with 15d-PGJ2 was analyzed by mass spectrometry. Matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry analysis of the 15d-PGJ2-treated human recombinant Trx demonstrated the addition of one molecule of 15d-PGJ2 per protein molecule. Moreover, the electrospray ionization-liquid chromatography/mass spectrometry/mass spectrometry analysis identified two cysteine residues, Cys-35 and Cys-69, as the targets of 15d-PGJ2. These residues may represent the direct sensors of the electrophilic PGs that induce the intracellular redox alteration and neuronal cell death.

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.
