Eventually, we discovered significant regulation of the cellular oxidant detoxification and detoxification of ROS by the PRDX changes, together with obtaining the core modules of genes (TXN, TXN2, TXNRD1, TXNRD2, GPX1 and GPX2) linked to the PRDX family of genes in breast cancer.
In this study we evaluated possible associations between breast cancer risk and survival and single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in the selenoprotein genes GPX1, GPX2, GPX3, GPX4, SELS, SEP15, SEPN1, SEPP1, SEPW1, TXNRD1, and TXNRD2 among Hispanic/Native American (2111 cases, 2597 controls) and non-Hispanic white (NHW) (1481 cases, 1586 controls) women in the Breast Cancer Health Disparities Study.
Thus, these data suggested that GPX2 may be involved in mammary carcinogenesis and cell proliferation in both rats and humans, indicating that GPX2 may be a novel target for the prevention and therapy of breast cancer.
