“…Prdx1 mRNA is upregulated by hypoxia, H 2 0 2 , and tert-BOOH (Prosperi et al, 1998;Li et al, 2002;Rhee et al, 2005;Kim et al, 2007), as well as serum (Prosperi et al, 1998). Likewise, Prdx6 expression is induced by hyperoxia, H 2 0 2 , and nitric oxide Kim et al, 2003;Sparling and Phelan, 2003;Simeone and Phelan, 2005;Chowdhury et al, 2007;Diet et al, 2007;Gallagher and Phelan, 2007;Chowdhury et al, 2009), and also by growth stimuli including keratinocyte growth factor (KGF) Munz et al, 1997;Sparling and Phelan, 2003;Gallagher and Phelan, 2007), lens epithelium-derived growth factor (LEDGF) (Fatma et al, 2001), and TNF- (Kubo et al, 2006;Gallagher and Phelan, 2007). One of the most significant differences we observed between Prdx1 and Prdx6 in the present study is their expression in growing vs. quiescent cells.…”
