T-Cell and Role of Antioxidant Molecules

No. Antioxidants Protein name Antioxidant role in T-cell regulation Reference
1 GSH Glutathione Tregs block GSH redistribution from the nucleus to the cytoplasm in Teff cells (314)
2 GST s-S-Transferase Activator protein-1 induction by GST gene expression alters intracellular oxidative stress (224)
3 GCLC Glutamate–cysteine ligase catalytic subunit Mitogen activation leads to:
Upregulated GCLC catalytic subunit
Depletion of GSH
(300)
4 GCLM Glutamate–cysteine ligase, modifier subunit Mitogen activation leads to increased GCLM catalytic subunit (300)
5 GLUT1 Glucose transporter 1 Induced upon TCR activation (274)
6 TRX Thioredoxin Overexpression blocks NFκB activation by H2O2.
Induces IL-2R expression on T cells
(148)

NFκB, nuclear factor kappa B; TCR, T-cell receptor; Treg, regulatory T cell.
