Essential Role of Thioredoxin 2 in Mitigating Oxidative Stress in Retinal Epithelial Cells by Eriko Sugano, Namie Murayama, Maki Takahashi, Kitako Tabata, Makoto Tamai, Hiroshi Tomita

“…The protective effect of Trx2 against oxidative stress was investigated by assessing cell viability, the kinetics of cell death, mitochondrial metabolic activity, and expression of heat shock proteins (Hsps) in Trx2-overexpressing cell lines generated by transfecting ARPE cells with an adeno-associated virus vector encoding Trx2. We show that overexpression of Trx2 reduced cell death induced by both agents when they were present in low concentrations. …”
