Abstract excerpt
We have investigated the role of cellular redox state on the regulation of cell cycle in hypoxia and shown that whereas cells expressing mutant thioredoxin (Trx) or a normal level of Trx undergo increased apoptosis, cells overexpressing Trx are protected against apoptosis. We show that hypoxia activates p53 and Chk1/Chk2 proteins in cells expressing normal or mutant Trx but not in cells overexpressing Trx. We...
