Overview of Gene Research
Prdx5, short for peroxiredoxin 5, is an enzyme that detoxifies reactive oxygen species. It is involved in multiple pathways such as the DNA damage response (DDR) pathway, thioredoxin/peroxiredoxin pathway, Keap1-Nrf2 signaling axis, TLR4/NF-κB pathway, and SIRT3-mediated antioxidant and anti-inflammatory activities [1,2,4,7,8]. Prdx5 is of great biological importance as it impacts various cellular processes and is associated with numerous diseases [1-10]. Genetic models can be valuable for studying its functions.
Knockdown of Prdx5 led to DNA damage, manifested by the induction of phosphorylated histone H2AX (γ-H2AX) and p53-binding protein 1 (53BP1), indicating its role in regulating DDR through the ATM/p53/Sirt2 signaling cascade [1]. In castration-resistant prostate cancer, PRDX5 promotes AR inhibitor resistance and CRPC development, and its inhibition suppresses DTP cell proliferation [2]. In TSC2 mutant cells, auranofin and rapamycin reduced Prdx5 levels, making ER stress-induced cell death possible [3]. Prdx5 deficiency worsened MSU crystal-induced inflammation, suggesting its protective role [4]. In NSCLC, high expression of Nrf2 and PRDX5 was associated with a worsened prognosis, and their interaction promoted NSCLC development [5]. In castration-resistant prostate cancer, inhibition of PRDX5 enzyme activity disrupted its interaction with NRF2, leading to apoptosis of DTP cells and slowing CRPC progression [6]. Silencing of Prdx5 in macrophages suppressed M1 polarization, reducing apoptosis in prostate epithelial cells and mitigating experimental autoimmune prostatitis [7].
In conclusion, Prdx5 is crucial for maintaining cellular homeostasis by regulating DNA damage response, inflammation, and cell survival. Studies using gene knockdown (akin to loss-of-function in KO/CKO models) have revealed its role in diseases like DNA-damage-related disorders, castration-resistant prostate cancer, tuberous sclerosis complex-associated neoplasia, gout, NSCLC, and chronic prostatitis. Understanding Prdx5 functions through these model-based research provides insights into disease mechanisms and potential therapeutic targets.
