PRX III Lentiviral Activation Particles (h) | sc-401730-LAC | 200 µl | $455.00 |
PRDX3 encodes peroxiredoxin III (PRX III), a mitochondria-localized thioredoxin-dependent peroxidase that detoxifies hydrogen peroxide and constrains mitochondrial reactive oxygen species to preserve redox homeostasis. By modulating peroxide tone, PRX III influences mitochondrial metabolism, apoptotic signaling, and oxidative stress responses, integrating with thioredoxin/peroxiredoxin cycling and broader antioxidant networks. Altered PRDX3 activity and expression are frequently examined in contexts of mitochondrial dysfunction, redox imbalance, and stress-adaptive remodeling observed across cancer biology, neurodegeneration, and inflammatory processes. As a mitochondrial antioxidant node, PRDX3 is a useful handle for studying ROS-driven signaling, mitochondrial quality control, and redox-sensitive transcriptional programs.
PRX III Lentiviral Activation Particles (h) address this need by packaging the complete synergistic activation mediator (SAM) transcriptional activation system into transduction-ready, high-titer lentiviral particles, enabling efficient PRDX3 upregulation across a broader range of human cell types.
PRX III Lentiviral Activation Particles (h) deliver all functional components of the synergistic activation mediator (SAM) system via lentiviral transduction. The system comprises three particle preparations co-transduced into target cells: one encoding catalytically inactive dCas9 (D10A and N863A mutations) fused to the VP64 transactivation domain with a blasticidin resistance gene; one encoding the MS2-p65-HSF1 fusion protein with a hygromycin resistance gene; and one encoding a target-specific 20 nt sgRNA fused to two MS2 RNA aptamers with a puromycin resistance gene. Following lentiviral transduction and genomic integration of the expression cassettes, the SAM components are stably expressed and assemble at the target locus within the proximal promoter region upstream of the PRDX3 transcriptional start site, where VP64, p65, and HSF1 act cooperatively to recruit endogenous transcriptional machinery and drive sustained upregulation of endogenous PRX III expression. The use of nuclease-inactive dCas9 avoids the introduction of double-strand DNA breaks and preserves the native PRDX3 genomic locus and regulatory architecture.
The lentiviral format offers several practical advantages: stable genomic integration supports heritable activation across cell divisions; high-titer particle preparations eliminate the need for in-house viral production; and compatibility with primary, non-dividing, and transfection-resistant cell types expands experimental accessibility. Successful transduction can be confirmed and enriched through triple antibiotic selection using puromycin, hygromycin, and blasticidin.
