Abstract excerpt
Mammalian cells contain two forms of thioredoxin reductase (TrxR), cytosolic TrxR1 and mitochondrial TrxR2. To investigate the biological roles of TrxR2, we generated stable HeLa cell lines expressing a dominant negative form of TrxR2 (TrxR2DN) under the control of the tetracycline-off system. We observed that TrxR2DN-induced cells, following stimulation with EGF, produced more hydrogen peroxide than uninduced...
