Abstract
Overexpression of catalase, but not manganese superoxide dismutase (MnSOD), inhibited glucose deprivation‐induced cytotoxicity and c‐Jun N‐terminal kinase 1 (JNK1) activation in human prostate adenocarcinoma DU‐145 cells. Suppression of JNK1 activation by catalase overexpression resulted from inhibition of apoptosis signal‐regulating kinase 1 (ASK1) activation by preventing dissociation of thioredoxin (TRX) from ASK1. Overexpression of catalase also inhibited relocalization of Daxx from the nucleus to the cytoplasm as well as association of Daxx with ASK1 during glucose deprivation. Taken together, hydrogen peroxide (H~2~O~2~) rather than superoxide anion (O~2~^•−^) acts as a second messenger of metabolic oxidative stress to activate the ASK1‐MAPK/extracellular signal‐regulated kinase (ERK) kinase (MEK)‐mitogen‐activated protein kinase (MAPK) signal transduction pathway.
