Abstract

We have previously identified and cloned a novel keratinocyte growth factor (KGF)-regulated gene in human keratinocytes that encodes the human homologue of a bovine non-selenium glutathione peroxidase (GPx). To gain insight into the regulation of this gene in vivo, we isolated the murine homologue from a mouse skin cDNA library. In vitro transcription/translation demonstrated that the cDNA encodes a 27 kDa protein. Furthermore, we amplified by PCR a partial cDNA that most likely corresponds to a related gene. RNase protection analysis revealed tissue-specific expression of both genes and the occurrence of alternative splicing or RNA editing of at least one of the primary transcripts. Similar to that of KGF, expression of GPx was strongly induced after cutaneous injury, and each isoform displayed unique kinetics of expression during the repair process. In situ hybridization studies demonstrated high levels of GPx mRNA in keratinocytes of the hyperproliferative epithelium at the wound edge. Since these cells express functional KGF receptors, induction of GPx expression by KGF might also occur in vivo. These data suggest a role for GPx in the protection of epithelial cells against oxidative stress, particularly during the inflammatory phase of wound repair.

  • Peroxiredoxin 6 is up-regulated by wound edge keratinocytes in early differential display screens.

    “In early differential display screens, a reactive oxygen species (ROS)–detoxifying enzyme, peroxiredoxin 6, was seen to be up-regulated by wound edge keratinocytes (111).”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
