19818760 Kadota Y, Suzuki S, Ideta S, Fukinbara Y, Kawakami T, Imai H, Nakagawa Y, Sato M: Enhanced metallothionein gene expression induced by mitochondrial oxidative stress is reduced in phospholipid hydroperoxide glutathione peroxidase-overexpressed cells. Eur J Pharmacol. 2010 Jan 25;626(2-3):166-70. Epub 2009 Oct 8.

These cells were treated with respiratory inhibitors, including rotenone and 2, 4-dinitrophenol; under these conditions, the PHGPx-ov cells were more resistant to cell death than the control cells.

Phospholipid hydroperoxide glutathione peroxidase (PHGPx) is synthesized as a long form (L-form; 23 kDa) and a short form (S-form; 20 kDa).
Cell death caused by mitochondrial injury due to potassium cyanide (KCN) or rotenone (chemical hypoxia) was considerably suppressed in the M15 cells, whereas the L9 cells and control RBL-2H3 cells (S1 cells, transfected with the vector alone) succumbed to the cytotoxic effects of KCN.
