Abstract excerpt
Glutathione peroxidase-3 (GPx-3) is a key antioxidant enzyme in the plasma. GPx-3 was previously identified as the major antioxidative enzyme that was induced upon nontoxic proteasome inhibition in endothelial cells. Here, we investigated the determinants of the proteasome inhibitor-induced expression of GPx-3. Nontoxic proteasome inhibition massively upregulates GPx-3 RNA and protein in human umbilical cord vein...
