Abstract 1027: Thioredoxin-interacting protein-reactive oxygen species (TXNIP/ROS) relationship defines a stress response gene signature in patients with CLL
Abstract:Thioredoxin-interacting protein (TXNIP) binds and inactivates thioredoxin (TRX) leading to increased reactive oxygen species (ROS) production and apoptosis in many cell types. TXNIP expression has never been evaluated in CLL. Since it has been previously shown that patients with CLL have high levels of ROS compared to normal individuals and that TRX has a protective function in CLL, our goal was to measure the levels of TXNIP and determine whether there is any correlation with ROS. Furthermore, we also studied… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
