Abstract:
:Recent findings suggest a functional interaction of the drug resistance enzyme glutathione S-transferase P (GSTP) with the transcription factor Nrf2, a master regulator of the adaptive stress response to cellular electrophiles. The effect of this interaction on the metabolism and redox of cellular thiols was investigated in this study during the exposure to alkylating Se-compounds in murine embryonic fibroblasts (MEFs). GSTP1-1 gene ablation was confirmed to upregulate Nrf2 activity and to increase Cys uptake and the de novo biosynthesis of reduced glutathione (GSH) that was readily released in the extracellular medium together with other cellular thiols. This latter response was associated with a higher expression of the membrane transporter MRP1 and was markedly stimulated by the treatment with alkylating Se-compounds together with protein S-glutathionylation that was observed to be under the influence of GSTP expression. The response of cellular thiols to Se-compounds was not altered by the transient (SiRNA-induced) or stable inactivation of NRF2 in GSTP competent or hGSTP1 transfected cells, while defects of GSH biosynthesis, efflux, and redox were observed after NRF2 silencing in GSTP-/- MEFs. In conclusion, GSTP is confirmed to functionally interact with Nrf2 and to have a prominent position in the pecking order of factors that control both the Nrf2-dependent and independent response of cellular thiols to alkylating agents.
