DDAH1 recruits peroxiredoxin 1 and sulfiredoxin 1 to preserve its activity and regulate intracellular redox homeostasis.

Growing evidence suggests that dimethylarginine dimethylaminohydrolase 1 (DDAH1), a crucial enzyme for the degradation of asymmetric dimethylarginine (ADMA), is closely related to oxidative stress during the development of multiple diseases. However, the underlying mechanism by which DDAH1 regulates the intracellular redox state remains unclear. In the present study, DDAH1 was shown to interact with peroxiredoxin 1 (PRDX1) and sulfiredoxin 1 (SRXN1), and these interactions could be enhanced by oxidative stress. In HepG2 cells, H2O2-induced downregulation of DDAH1 and accumulation of ADMA were attenuated by overexpression of PRDX1 or SRXN1 but exacerbated by knockdown of PRDX1 or SRXN1. On the other hand, DDAH1 also maintained the expression of PRDX1 and SRXN1 in H2O2-treated cells. Furthermore, global knockout of Ddah1 (Ddah1-/-) or liver-specific knockout of Ddah1 (Ddah1HKO) exacerbated, while overexpression of DDAH1 alleviated liver dysfunction, hepatic oxidative stress and downregulation of PRDX1 and SRXN1 in CCl4-treated mice. Overexpression of liver PRDX1 improved liver function, attenuated hepatic oxidative stress and DDAH1 downregulation, and diminished the differences between wild type and Ddah1-/- mice after CCl4 treatment. Collectively, our results suggest that the regulatory effect of DDAH1 on cellular redox homeostasis under stress conditions is due, at least in part, to the interaction with PRDX1 and SRXN1.
