Disease relevance of SESN2

 

High impact information on SESN2

  • Identification of a novel stress-responsive gene Hi95 involved in regulation of cell viability [1].
  • Overexpression of Hi95 full-length cDNA was found toxic for many types of cultured cells directly leading either to their apoptotic death or to sensitization to serum starvation and DNA damaging treatments [1].
  • In both groups there was a significant increase in scores in the Psychosexual Stimulation Scale of the SES (i.e. SES 2) following testosterone administration, but not with placebo [2].
  • Women in the treated group were less likely to have received further education than the controls, a factor that influences SES 1 and SES 2 scores [3].
  • Purified Hi95 (sestrin 2) protein supports adenosine triphosphate-dependent reduction of overoxidized PrxI in vitro, indicating that unlike AhpD, which is a disulfide reductase, sestrins are cysteine sulfinyl reductases [4].
