Acrolein and 4-hydroxynonenal (HNE) are reactive aldehydes generated during active inflammation as a consequence of lipid peroxidation; both react with protein thiols, including thioredoxin-1 (Trx1), a protein recently found to regulate antioxidant function in endothelial cells.

Nephrol Dial Transplant. 2007 Jun;22(6):1547-57. Epub 2007 Mar 14.

In the present study, the effects of thioredoxin1 (TRX1) overexpression, a small protein with antioxidant property, on the development of diabetic nephropathy in streptozotocin-induced diabetic animals were investigated using TRX1 transgenic mice (TRX1-Tg).
In parallel, urinary excretion of 8-hydroxy-2'-deoxyguanosine and acrolein adduct and the immunostaining intensities of these markers in the kidney were significantly higher in diabetic WT compared with non-diabetic mice.

In addition, PDIred was found to be inactivated by acrolein (IC50=10 microM) at pH 6.3, and this inactivation was also greater at pH 6.3 than at pH 7.
Protein disulfide isomerase (PDI) is known to contain the thioredoxin box motif with a low pKa cysteine residue.

20149621 Zhu L, Liu Z, Feng Z, Hao J, Shen W, Li X, Sun L, Sharman E, Wang Y, Wertz K, Weber P, Shi X, Liu J: Hydroxytyrosol protects against oxidative damage by simultaneous activation of mitochondrial biogenesis and phase II detoxifying enzyme systems in retinal pigment epithelial cells. J Nutr Biochem. 2010 Feb 9.

Studies in this laboratory have previously shown that hydroxytyrosol, the major antioxidant polyphenol in olives, protects ARPE-19 human retinal pigment epithelial cells from oxidative damage induced by acrolein, an environmental toxin and endogenous end product of lipid oxidation, that occurs at increased levels in age-related macular degeneration lesions.
The activation of Nrf2 led to activation of phase II detoxifying enzymes, including gamma-glutamyl-cysteinyl-ligase, NADPH (nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate)-quinone-oxidoreductase 1, heme-oxygenase-1, superoxide dismutase, peroxiredoxin and thioredoxin as well as other antioxidant enzymes, while the activation of PPARGC1alpha led to increased protein expression of mitochondrial transcription factor A, uncoupling protein 2 and mitochondrial complexes.
