Protective Effect of Astaxanthin on Ochratoxin A-Induced Kidney Injury to Mice by Regulating Oxidative Stress-Related NRF2/KEAP1 Pathway

open access: yesMolecules, 2020
The present study aimed to investigate the effects of astaxanthin (ASX) on ochratoxin A (OTA)-induced renal oxidative stress and its mechanism of action.

Keap1 mutations in lung cancer patients

open access: yesOncology Letters, 2013
Kelch-like ECH-associated protein 1 (Keap1) inhibits nuclear factor erythroid 2-related 2 (NEF2L2; also named NRF2)-induced cytoprotection and has been hypothesized to represent a candidate tumor suppressor. We have previously reported the somatic mutations of the NRF2 gene (NFE2L2), however, the correlation between the Keap1 mutation and the ...

Fabrication and characterization of solid lipid nano-formulation of astraxanthin against DMBA-induced breast cancer via Nrf-2-Keap1 and NF-kB and mTOR/Maf-1/PTEN pathway

open access: yesDrug Delivery, 2019
In the current experimental study, we scrutinized the chemoprotective effect of astraxanthin against the 7,12-dimethylbenz(a)anthracene (DMBA)-induced breast cancer via Nrf-2-Keap1 and NF-kB and mTOR/Maf-1/PTEN pathway.

NQO1 Enzyme and its Role in Cellular Protection; an Insight

open access: yesIberoamerican Journal of Medicine, 2020
NAD(P)H:quinone oxidoreductase 1 (NQO1) is considered as one of the most significant enzyme in cellular defense due to its ability to detoxify reactive quinones and quinone imines to their less toxic hydroquinones forms. NQO1 is a xenobiotic metabolizing

Regulation of Nrf2 by Mitochondrial Reactive Oxygen Species in Physiology and Pathology

open access: yesBiomolecules, 2020
Reactive oxygen species (ROS) are byproducts of aerobic respiration and signaling molecules that control various cellular functions. Nrf2 governs the gene expression of endogenous antioxidant synthesis and ROS-eliminating enzymes in response to various ...

Mutant p53–Nrf2 axis regulates the proteasome machinery in cancer

open access: yesMolecular & Cellular Oncology, 2017
The proteasome machinery is a common target of gain-of-function p53 missense mutants. Upregulation of the proteasome fosters chemoresistance to proteasome inhibitors.

Challenges and Limitations of Targeting the Keap1-Nrf2 Pathway for Neurotherapeutics: Bach1 De-Repression to the Rescue

open access: yesFrontiers in Aging Neuroscience, 2021
The Keap1-Nrf2 signaling axis is a validated and promising target for cellular defense and survival pathways. This minireview discusses the potential off-target effects and their impact on future drug development originating from Keap1-targeting small ...

WDR23 regulates NRF2 independently of KEAP1

open access: yesPLOS Genetics, 2017
Cellular adaptation to stress is essential to ensure organismal survival. NRF2/NFE2L2 is a key determinant of xenobiotic stress responses, and loss of negative regulation by the KEAP1-CUL3 proteasome system is implicated in several chemo- and radiation-resistant cancers. Advantageously using C.

The KEAP1-NRF2 System and Esophageal Cancer

open access: yesCancers, 2022
NRF2 (nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2) is a transcription factor that regulates the expression of many cytoprotective genes. NRF2 activation is mainly regulated by KEAP1 (kelch-like ECH-associated protein 1) through ubiquitination and proteasome degradation.
