PG - 1-7 LID - S0006-291X(23)00329-7 [pii] LID - 10.1016/j.bbrc.2023.03.044 [doi] AB - Glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase (GAPDH) acts as a sensor under oxidative stress, leading to induction of various biological responses. Given that mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) signaling pathways mediate cellular responses to a wide variety of stimuli, including oxidative stress, here, we aimed to elucidate whether a cross-talk cascade between GAPDH and MAPKs occurs under oxidative stress. Of the three typical MAPKs investigated-extracellular signal-regulated kinase, p38, and c-Jun N-terminal kinase (JNK)-we found that hydrogen peroxide (H(2)O(2))-induced JNK activation is significantly reduced in HEK293 cells treated with small-interfering (si)RNA targeting GAPDH. Co-immunoprecipitation with a GAPDH antibody further revealed protein-protein interactions between GAPDH and JNK in H(2)O(2)-stmulated cells. Notably, both JNK activation and these interactions depend on oxidation of the active-site cysteine (Cys152) in GAPDH, as demonstrated by rescue experiments with either exogenous wild-type GAPDH or the cysteine-substituted mutant (C152A) in endogenous GAPDH-knockdown HEK293 cells. Moreover, H(2)O(2)-induced translocation of Bcl-2-associated X protein (Bax) into mitochondria, which occurs downstream of JNK activation, is attenuated by endogenous GAPDH knockdown in HEK293 cells. These results suggest a novel role for GAPDH in the JNK signaling pathway under oxidative stress. CI - Copyright (c) 2023 The Authors. Published by Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
