Peroxicedoxin 4 (PRDX4), a member of the peroxicedoxins (PRDXs), has been reported in many cancer-related studies, but its role in uterine corpus endometrial carcinoma (UCEC) is not fully understood. In the present study, we found that PRDX4 was highly expressed in UCEC tissues and cell lines through the combination of bioinformatics analysis and experiments, and elevated PRDX4 levels were associated with poor prognosis. Knockdown of PRDX4 significantly blocked the proliferation and migration of the UCEC cell line Ishikawa and reduced degree of cell confluence. These findings highlight the oncogenic role of PRDX4 in UCEC. In addition, genes that interact with PRDX4 in UCEC were MT-ATP8, PBK, and PDIA6, and we speculated that these genes interacted with each other to promote disease progression in UCEC. Thus, PRDX4 is a potential diagnostic biomarker for UCEC, and targeting PRDX4 may be a potential therapeutic strategy for patients with UCEC.

Diabetic retinopathy (DR) is a neurovascular complication of diabetes. As a crucial player in the retinal physiology, Müller cells are affected in DR, impairments of Müller cell function lead to retinal malfunctions. Therefore, searching for approaches to mitigate diabetes-induced injury in Müller cells is imperative for delaying DR.

T-2 toxin, a highly toxic type A trichothecene, is a secondary fungal metabolite produced by various Fusarium species. The consumption of food and feed contaminated with T-2 toxin is a major factor contributing to growth retardation, posing significant risks to both human and animal health. However, the specific targets and mechanisms that mitigate T-2 toxin-induced growth retardation remain unclear.

Peroxiredoxin (PRDX) primarily employs electrons from thioredoxin in order to reduce peroxides. PRDX4 mainly resides either in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) lumen or in extracellular spaces. Due to the usage of alternative promoters, a first exon is transcribed from different regions of the Prdx4 gene, which results in two types of mRNAs.

The role of tumor microenvironment (TME)-associated inadequate protein modification and trafficking due to insufficiency in Golgi function, leading to Golgi stress, in the regulation of T cell function is largely unknown. Here, we show that disruption of Golgi architecture under TME stress, identified by the decreased expression of GM130, was reverted upon treatment with hydrogen sulfide (HS) donor GYY4137 or overexpressing cystathionine β-synthase (CBS), an enzyme involved in the biosynthesis of endogenous HS, which also promoted stemness, antioxidant capacity, and increased protein translation, mediated in part by endoplasmic reticulum-Golgi shuttling of Peroxiredoxin-4. In in vivo models of melanoma and lymphoma, antitumor T cells conditioned ex vivo with exogenous HS or overexpressing CBS demonstrated superior tumor control upon adoptive transfer.

Background: Lacrimal gland enlargement is a common pathological change in patients with thyroid eye disease (TED). Tear fluid has emerged as a new source of diagnostic biomarkers, but tear-based diagnostic biomarkers for TED with high efficacy are still lacking.
Objective: We aim to investigate genes associated with TED-associated lacrimal gland lesions.
