Glutaredoxin 2 Reduces Asthma-Like Acute Airway Inflammation in Mice.

ABSTRACT: Endogenous redox systems not only counteract oxidative damage induced by high levels of hydroxyl radicals (OH·) under pathological conditions, but also shape redox signaling as a key player in the regulation of physiological processes. Second messengers like hydrogen peroxide and nitric oxide, as well as redox enzymes of the Thioredoxin (Trx) family, including Trxs, glutaredoxins (Grxs), and peroxiredoxins (Prxs) modulate reversible, oxidative modifications of proteins. Thereby redox regulation is part of various cellular processes such as the immune response and Trx proteins have been linked in different disorders including inflammatory diseases. Here, we have analyzed the protein distribution of representative oxidoreductases of the Trx fold protein family-Trx1, Grx1, Grx2, and Prx2-in a
