The paraquat-mediated gene or protein expression of proapoptotic Bax, Bcl-w, and Bcl-X (S), cell survival/death factors GADD45, MDM2, c-Myc, and caspase-3 was upregulated, but that of antiapoptotic Bcl-2 was downregulated in the GPX1-/- mice vs. the WT mice.

Increases in TGF-beta1 mRNA expression and TGF-beta1 levels preceded the onset of increased collagen I mRNA expression and hydroxyproline contents. c-myc mRNA expressions were inversely correlated with TGF-beta1 protein levels in paraquat-treated lungs.

The transcription of manganese superoxide dismutase (MnSOD), expression of which is essential for detoxification of superoxide radicals from mitochondria, has been shown to be regulated in vitro by many factors and conditions including oxidative stress, cytokines, lipopolysaccharide, cytoplasmic myc (c-myc), p53 and tumour necrosis factors.
Changes in MnSOD expression were positively associated with paraquat sensitivity of the deletion genotypes.
