Nrf2, a Cap’n’Collar Transcription Factor, Regulates Induction of the Heme Oxygenase-1 Gene*

Journal of Biological Chemistry, 1999
Stress response elements, which mediate induction of the mouse heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1) gene by several agents, resemble the binding site for the activator protein-1 (Jun/Fos), Maf, and Cap’n’Collar/basic leucine zipper (CNC-bZIP) families of proteins. In

Research progress on the role of inflammatory mediators in the pathogenesis of epilepsy

Ibrain, Volume 11, Issue 1, Page 44-58, Spring 2025.
In the central nervous system, activated immune cells lead to the overproduction of inflammatory mediators through the corresponding signal pathway. Under the stimulation of inflammatory factors, neuroinflammation ultimately occurs. Overexpression of inflammatory mediators and activated immunocytes plays an important role in the emergence and ...

Occupational Exposure to Factory‐Derived Particulate Matter 2.5 Induces Cutaneous Toxicity in Workers and HaCaT Keratinocytes Through Oxidative Stress and Inflammation

Journal of Applied Toxicology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study aimed to evaluate the toxicological effects of occupational exposure to factory‐derived particulate matter (PM2.5) on human skin, emphasizing its role as a potential target organ of environmental toxicants. An epidemiological survey comparing factory and nonfactory workers was conducted by assessing their skin elasticity and color ...

Exploring Linalool‐Based Phytotherapy for Excitatory/Inhibitory Imbalance in Alzheimer's Disease: A Review of Lavender and Cannabis Therapeutic Effects on Sleep, Seizures, and Cognition

Phytotherapy Research, EarlyView.
Schematic overview of the proposed neuromodulatory actions of linalool in Alzheimer's disease. Through multi‐target effects on oxidative stress, amyloid aggregation, GABAergic and glutamatergic signaling, linalool may restore excitatory/inhibitory balance.

Phytochemical‐Based Strategies for Lung Cancer: Clinical Insights Into Pleiotropic Molecular Signaling and Therapeutic Roles

Phytotherapy Research, EarlyView.
Lung cancer (LC) remains the leading cause of global cancer‐related death. Phytochemicals from medicinal plants are increasingly being considered as potential LC treatment agents due to their multi‐targeted action, safety, and accessibility. These have anticancer properties by regulating key molecular signaling pathways.

Xanthatin‐13‐(Pyrrolidine‐2‐Carboxylic Acid), a Sesquiterpene Lactone Isolated From Burdock Leaf, Attenuated Aβ25‐35 Toxicity and Memory Deficits in a Pharmacological Mouse Model of Alzheimer's Disease

Phytotherapy Research, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a severe form of dementia, which occurrence increases with age and lifestyle conditions. It is characterized by amyloid protein accumulation forming senile plaques, hyperphosphorylated tau protein forming neurofibrillary tangles, neuroinflammation, and oxidative stress, leading to synapse loss and cell death ...

Betulin Protects Against Cardiac Hypertrophy by Improving AMPK/Nrf2‐Dependent Mitochondrial Function

Phytotherapy Research, EarlyView.
Betulin effectively mitigates pressure overload‐induced cardiac hypertrophy in both Ang II‐infused and TAC‐operated mice. Mechanistically, betulin activated AMPK phosphorylation, promoted Nrf2 nuclear translocation, and upregulated antioxidant genes (HO‐1 and NQO‐1), thereby restoring mitochondrial function in cardiomyocytes.

Chrysin Mitigates Acetamiprid‐Induced Testicular Injury in Mice via Suppression of Endoplasmic Reticulum Stress and Inflammation

Environmental Toxicology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Acetamiprid (ACP) is a neonicotinoid pesticide that is extensively utilized for the management of insect populations, but its toxic effects on the male reproductive system have become a source of concern. Chrysin (CHR) is a natural flavone found in many plants and bee products, including honey and propolis.

The Mechanism of NLRP3 Inflammasome Activation and Its Roles in Chronic Rhinosinusitis

World Journal of Otorhinolaryngology - Head and Neck Surgery, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT NLRP3 (NLR family pyrin domain containing 3) is one of the crucial receptors in pathogen recognition receptor (PRR) families which can recognize the pathogen‐associated molecular patterns (PAMPs) and the damage‐associated molecular patterns (DAMPs), thus triggering innate immune response. After NLRP3 activation, it recruits the adaptor protein
