overexpressed in WM35 melanoma cell line as model system, endogenously expressing low levels of TRP-2. TRP-2 specifically decreases WM35 cell sensitivity to oxidative stress. Overexpreesion of enzyme in HEK-293 cells has no influence on cell sensitivity to oxidative stress | Homo sapiens |

additional information | WM35-wild-type and WM35-C2 cells, containing overexpressed TRP-2 enzyme are incubated with various H2O2 concentrations to determine the survival rate. TRP-2 reduces oxidative stress-induced toxicity of WM35-C2 cells compared to the wild-type cells, at 300 microM H2O2 30% decrease of cell sensitivity. TRP-2 protects genomic DNA from oxidative stress damage: in wild-type WM35 cells the damaging effect on DNA is visible at 50 microM H2O2. WM35 cells containing the overexpressed TRP-2 show DNA damage after treatment with 100 microM H2O2. The overexpression of TRP-2 in HEK-293 cells shows no improvement of the cell sensitivity to oxidative stress | Homo sapiens | ? | - |
