Popis: International audience; Reactive oxygen species and nitric oxide (NO) are capable of both mediating redox-sensitive signal transduction and eliciting cell injury. The interplay between these messengers is quite complex, and intersection of their signaling pathways as well as regulation of their fluxes requires tight control. In this regard, peroxiredoxins (Prxs), a recently identified family of six thiol peroxidases, are central because they reduce H(2)O(2), organic peroxides, and peroxynitrite. Here we provide evidence that endogenously produced NO participates in protection of murine primary macrophages against oxidative and nitrosative stress by inducing Prx I and VI expression at mRNA and protein levels. We also show that NO prevented the sulfinylation-dependent inactivation of 2-Cys Prxs, a reversible overoxidation that controls H(2)O(2) signaling. In addition, studies using macrophages from sulfiredoxin (Srx)-deficient mice indicated that regeneration of 2-Cys Prxs to the active form was dependent on Srx. Last, we show that NO increased Srx expression and hastened Srx-dependent recovery of 2-Cys Prxs. We therefore propose that modulation by NO of Prx expression and redox state, as well as up-regulation of Srx expression, constitutes a novel pathway that contributes to antioxidant response and control of H(2)O(2)-mediated signal transduction in mammals.
