Glutathione peroxidases (GPxs) are important antioxidant enzymes that act at distinct levels of the antioxidant defense. In vertebrates, there are several glutathione peroxidase (GPx) isoforms with different cellular and tissue distribution, but little is known about their interrelationships. The shrimp Litopenaeus vannamei is the main crustacean cultivated worldwide. It is affected by environmental stressors, including hypoxia and reoxygenation that cause reactive oxygen species accumulation. Thus, the antioxidant response modulation is key for shrimp resilience. Recently, several GPx isoforms genes were identified in the L. vannamei genome sequence, but their functions are just beginning to be studied. As in vertebrates, shrimp GPx isoforms can present differences in their antioxidant responses. Also, there could be interrelationships among the isoforms that may influence their responses. We evaluated shrimp GPx2 and GPx4 expressions during hypoxia, reoxygenation, and GPx4 knock-down using RNAi for silencing, as well as the enzymatic activity of total GPx and GPx4. Also, glutathione content in hepatopancreas was evaluated. GPx2 and GPx4 presented similar expression patterns during hypoxia and reoxygenation. Their expressions decreased during hypoxia and were reestablished in reoxygenation at 6 h in non-silenced shrimp. GPx2 expression was down-regulated by GPx4 knock-down, suggesting that GPx4 affects GPx2 expression. Total GPx activity changed in hypoxia and reoxygenation at 6 h but not at 12 h, while GPx4 activity was not affected by any stressor. The GSH/GSSG ratio in hepatopancreas indicated that at early hours, the redox status remains well-modulated but at 12 h it is impaired by hypoxia and reoxygenation.
