Outline of Final Research Achievements |
A measuring system using the bioluminescence resonance energy transfer emitted from the binding between peroxiredoxin 2 (Prx2) and sulfiredoxin has been developed. Imitating red blood cells (iRBCs) were generated by knocking down endogenous thioredoxin reductase (TrxR) in K562 cells, next by differentiating and enucleating cells. The iRBCs were entrained in daily thermal cycles (32℃ for 12 hours and 37℃ for 12 hours). This result implies that the circadian rhythm of Prx2 may be entrained in vivo by hydrogen peroxide produced during the period of high body temperature. Moreover, circadian rhythm of Prx2 in iRBCs was interfered by mixing the iRBCs with an equal number of the iRBCs in which Prx2 rhythm was out of phase. I established a foothold that determines the phase of subject’s red blood cells (RBCs) by measuring degrees of the interference between iRBCs with various phases and subject’s RBCs.
