Cytosolic peroxiredoxin attenuates the activation of Jnk and p38 but potentiates that of Erk in Hela cells stimulated with tumor necrosis factor-alpha.

Tumor necrosis factor-alpha ( TNF-alpha) induces the activation of all three types of mitogen-activated protein kinase ( MAPK): c-Jun NH(2)-terminal kinase ( JNK), p38, and extracellular signal-regulated kinase ( ERK). This cytokine also induces the production of several types of reactive oxygen species, including H(2)O(2). With the use both of HeLa cells expressing wild-type or dominant negative forms of the cytosolic peroxidase peroxiredoxin II and of mouse embryonic fibroblasts deficient in this protein, we evaluated the roles of H(2)O(2) in the activation of MAPKs by TNF-alpha. In vitro kinase assays as well as immunoblot analysis with antibodies specific for activated MAPKs indicated that H(2)O(2) produced in response to TNF-alpha potentiates the activation of JNK and p38 induced by this cytokine but inhibits that of ERK. Our results also suggest that cytosolic peroxiredoxins are important regulators of TNF signaling pathways.[1]
