Peroxiredoxin2 (PRDX2) is a member of the peroxiredoxin family of antioxidant enzymes. A number of previous studies have indicated that PRDX2 may serve a cell type-dependent role in tumorigenesis. Recently, PRDX2 has been identified to be the new target of miR-122a, which has been demonstrated to be frequently downregulated in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Thus, PRDX2 may have a pro-tumorigenic role in HCC. Because the role of PRDX2 in HCC has not yet been reported, it is of interest to explore how PRDX2 may affect reactive oxygen species (ROS)-mediated cell death in HCC cells. The present study analyzed the effects of PRDX2 knockdown or overexpression on hydrogen peroxide (H2O2)-induced cell death in HCC SMMC-7721 cells. Tumor necrosis factor-? (TNF-?)-induced cell death upon PRDX2 knockdown or overexpression was also examined in SMMC-7721 cells. It was found that PRDX2 knockdown augmented H2O2-induced cell death in SMMC-7721 cells, whereas PRDX2 overexpression exhibited opposite effects. By contrast, PRDX2 knockdown enhanced TNF-?-induced apoptosis, whereas PRDX2 overexpression reduced it, even though both treatments showed little effects on TNF-?-induced necrosis in SMMC-7721 cells. Further exploration confirmed PRDX2 knockdown led to enhanced ROS generation in response to H2O2. Taken together, the present study supports that PRDX2 serves a pro-tumorigenic role in HCC through, at least partially, limiting ROS-mediated apoptosis under oxidative stress.
