Ceramide-up-regulated Txnip mostly colocalized with thioredoxin (Figure 3A yellow).Using an insulin reduction assay, ceramide was found to reduce the thioredoxin activity (Figure S1B). To further verify the reduced thioredoxin activity caused by ceramide-up-regulated Txnip, we used human Txnip siRNA to knock down ceramide-induced Txnip expression in Jurkat T cells (Figure 3B). Results showed that the decreased thioredoxin activity elicited by ceramide was rescued after Txnip siRNA treatment (Figure 3B).
