Peroxiredoxin VI (PrxVI) is a bifunctional enzyme with non‐selenium glutathione peroxidase and Ca2+‐independent acidic phospholipase A2 activities. We demonstrate that transfection‐mediated PrxVI overexpression protects immortalized human WI‐38 and murine NIH3T3 fibroblasts against cytotoxic doses of tert‐butylhydroperoxide and H2O2. Mutants for either glutathione peroxidase or phospholipase A2 activity show that glutathione peroxidase but not phospholipase A2 activity is required to promote cell survival after stress. Also, ectopic PrxVI overexpression does not protect telomerase‐stabilized WI‐38 fibroblasts against stress‐induced premature senescence.
