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.
