Abstract

The thioredoxin (TXN) system is an NADPH + H+/FAD redox-triggered effector that sustains homeostasis, bioenergetics, detoxifying drug networks, and cell survival in oxidative stress-related diseases. Elovanoid (ELV)-N34 is an endogenously formed lipid mediator in neural cells from omega-3 fatty acid precursors that modulate neuroinflammation and senescence gene programming when reduction-oxidation (redox) homeostasis is disrupted, enhancing cell survival. Limited proteolysis (LiP) screening of human retinal pigment epithelial (RPE) cells identified TXNRD1 isoforms 2, 3, or 5, the reductase of the TXN system, as an intracellular target of ELV-N34. TXNRD1 silencing confirmed that the ELV-N34 target was isoform 2 or 3. This lipid mediator induces TXNRD1 structure changes that modify the FAD interface domain, leading to its activity modulation. The addition of ELV-N34 decreased membrane and cytosolic TXNRD1 activity, suggesting localizations for the targeted reductase. These results show for the first time that the lipid mediator ELV-N34 directly modulates TXNRD1 activity, underling its protection in several pathologies when uncompensated oxidative stress (UOS) evolves.
