The appreciable increase in heme degradation for RBCs from PRDX2 knockout mice in the presence of azide indicates that PRDX2 plays a major role in scavenging H2O2 in the absence of catalase, even with GPx present. PubMed:23215741
GPx removes both H2O2 and organic hydroperoxides [8,31] whereas PRDX2 removes H2O2 [2], organic hydroperoxides, lipid hydroperoxides, [32,33] peroxynitrite [34] and protein hydroperoxides [35]. PubMed:23215741
The in vivo effects that we have observed for PRDX2 knockout mice (Figures 1–4) imply that PRDX2 plays an important role in neutralizing the H2O2 generated in vivo (Figure 6). PubMed:23215741
Peroxiredoxin-2 (Prx-2) has emerged as the critical antioxidant protecting RBCs from H2O2 produced endogenously (by Hb autoxidation and subsequent superoxide dismutation) and exogenously (e.g., from activated neutrophils) at low (physiologic) concentrations (11, 32, 38, 40, 43, 45) and, therefore, may limit oxidative injury to other cells/tissues in the vasculature (6, 57). PubMed:25264713
GPx removes both H2O2 and organic hydroperoxides [8,31] whereas PRDX2 removes H2O2 [2], organic hydroperoxides, lipid hydroperoxides, [32,33] peroxynitrite [34] and protein hydroperoxides [35]. PubMed:23215741

The role of PRDX2 in inhibiting impaired deformability can be attributed to both a reduction in ROS as well as a direct reaction of PRDX2 with protein hydroperoxides [52], which will inhibit the damage to cytoskeletal proteins required for impaired deformability. PubMed:23215741
As shown in Figure 2, the mean metHb levels were also significantly increased in PRDX2 knockout mice, but not in SOD1 knockout mice compared with control mice. PubMed:23215741

Figures 4B-D shows that d7 Prx-2 oxidation correlates positively with nitrite oxidation kinetics in the lag phase (i.e. inversely with lag time, positively with lag rates, Figures 4B-C respectively). PubMed:26202471
Figure 5E shows that d7 nitrite oxidation propagation rates also positively correlate with the extent of Prx-2 oxidation that occurred during storage (i.e. d35 – d7 Prx-2 oxidation in RBC). PubMed:26202471
Figure 2G shows storage also resulted in a significant increase in Prx-2 oxidation. PubMed:26202471
The higher the basal (d7) level of Prx-2 oxidation, the higher the level of Prx-2 oxidation in the same RBC after 35 days of storage. PubMed:26202471

Figure 4 shows a significant decrease in the elongation index, which is a measure of deformability, for the PRDX2 knockout mice. PubMed:23215741

PRDX2 deficiency, thus, causes cells to undergo more oxidative stress during in vitro aging, even in the presence of catalase. PubMed:23215741
PRDX2, which is able to react with low levels of H2O2 even at reduced glutathione levels, may therefore play a role in limiting the increased formation of heme degradation products in older cells. PubMed:23215741

PubMed:25264713
Finally, slower Prx-2 reduction correlated with increased H2O2 (10 lM)-induced hemolysis of day 35 RBC compared with day 7 RBC (Fig. 1D). PubMed:25264713

PubMed:25264713
This is consistent with increased Prx-2 oxidation and a role for this enzyme in protecting RBC membrane constituents from storage-dependent oxidative stress (49, 50). PubMed:25264713
The potential significance of this finding is underscored by the fact that Prx-2 is considered the primary antioxidant system to negate H2O2-mediated oxidative damage in the RBC (41). PubMed:25264713
