Abstract

BACKGROUNGD AND AIMS: Peroxiredoxin 5 (PRDX5), an atypical 2-Cys peroxiredoxin (PRDX), is known to regulate global oxidative stresses and inflammatory responses. Inflammation and oxidative stress are pivotal factors in the development of atherosclerosis, especially in the context of vascular endothelial dysfunction. However, effects of PRDX5 on atherosclerosis remain unclear. This study aimed to elucidate the role of PRDX5 in the pathogenesis of atherosclerosis.

METHODS: For in vivo analysis, normal chow diet 60-week old Apolipoprotein E knockout (ApoE

RESULTS: We observed elevated PRDX5 expression under atherosclerotic conditions in both humans and mice. Unexpectedly, Prdx5

CONCLUSIONS: These data demonstrate that extracellular PRDX5 contributes to endothelial inflammation, promoting macrophage accumulation in the atherosclerotic aorta through activation of TLR4/MyD88/NF-κB and P38 signaling pathways, thereby exacerbating the progression of atherosclerosis.
