Adenoviral-mediated overexpression of Prdx6 in mouse lungs protected against the toxicity of hyperoxia, whereas Prdx6-null mice were more sensitive to the effects of hyperoxia or paraquat.

To determine these functions, we generated Prdx6-targeted mutant (Prdx6-/-) mice, confirmed the gene disruption by Southern blots, PCR, RT-PCR, Western blots, and immunohistochemistry, and compared the effects of paraquat, hydrogen peroxide, and t-butyl hydroperoxide on Prdx6-/- and wild-type (Prdx6+/+) macrophages, and of paraquat on Prdx6-/- and Prdx6+/+ mice.

In plants, the 1-Cys Prxs are highly expressed during late seed development, and the expression pattern is dormancy related in mature seeds.

We studied changes in 1-cysPrx expression in rat lungs and lung cell lines in response to oxidative stress due to hyperoxia, H2O2, or paraquat.

PLoS One. 2009 Jun 29;4(6):e6075.

The aim of the current study was to investigate the cellular levels of reactive oxygen species (ROS), oxidative damage and enzymatic antioxidant defenses in the lung of Cftr-knockout mice in basal conditions and as a response to oxidative insult.The results show that endogenous ROS and lipid peroxidation levels are higher in Cftr (-/-) lung when compared to wild-type (Cftr (+/+)) in basal conditions, despite a strong enzymatic antioxidant response involving superoxide dismutases, glutathione peroxidases and peroxiredoxin 6 (Prdx6).
A dramatic increase in PL-OOH levels in Cftr (-/-) lung consecutive to in vivo oxidative challenge by paraquat (PQ) unmasks a susceptibility to phospholipid peroxidation.
