Glutathione peroxidases (GPXs) are crucial antioxidant enzymes, counteracting reactive oxygen species (ROS).
Glutathione peroxidase (GPx) refers to a family of antioxidant enzymes that play a crucial role in protecting cells from oxidative stress by catalyzing the reduction of hydrogen peroxide and organic peroxides. There are several isoforms of GPx, including GPx1, GPx2, GPx3, and GPx4, each with distinct tissue distributions and functions.
GPX overexpression promotes proliferation and invasion in cancer cells. Glutathione peroxidase-1 (GPX1), the most abundant isoform, contributes to invasion, migration, cisplatin resistance, and proliferation in various cancers.

GPx expression is often elevated in various cancers and is generally associated with poorer prognosis due to its role in protecting cancer cells from oxidative stress and contributing to treatment resistance.

Lycopene prevents carcinogen-induced cutaneous tumor by enhancing activation of the Nrf2 pathway through p62-triggered autophagic Keap1 degradation

*antiOx↑, Lycopene stimulated the activation of antioxidant enzymes and the translocation of the transcription factor Nrf2 (nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2) that predominantly maintained intracellular redox equilibrium
*NRF2↑, Lycopene activated the Nrf2 pathway in the presence of carcinogens in vivo and in vitro
*GSH/GSSG↓, Lycopene also rebalanced the GSH/GSSG ratio, partly representing the cellular redox condition commendably
*Catalase↝, catalase (CAT), glutathione reductase (GR), superoxide dismutase (SOD), and glutathione peroxidase (GPx), lower activities of these enzymes were reversed by this compound
*GR↝,
*SOD↝,
*GPx↝,
*GSH↑, mRNA levels of GSH and these antioxidant substances were also up-regulated significantly by lycopene pretreatment
*Keap1↓, Lycopene induced activation of Nrf2 by reducing Keap1 protein
*p62↑, lycopene induced p62 binding to Keap1, so Keap1 degradation was mediated by p62
