Dapagliflozin prevents methylglyoxal‐induced retinal cell death in ARPE‐19 cells

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
Diabetic macular oedema is a diabetes complication of the eye, which may lead to permanent blindness. ARPE‐19 are human retinal cells used to study retinal diseases and potential therapeutics. Methylglyoxal is a compound increased in uncontrolled diabetes due to elevated blood glucose.

Agmatine Mitigates Acetaminophen-induced Acute Liver Injury in Mice: Involvement of HMGB1/RAGE/NFκB and Nrf2/HO-1 Signaling Pathways [PDF]

Journal of Applied Veterinary Sciences
An overdose of acetaminophen (APAP) is considered one of the primary sources of drug-induced liver injury. This study aimed to explore the mechanism of agmatine (Agma) against APAP-induced acute liver injury (ALI) in mice.

Cloning and expression analysis of Keap1 of golden pompano (Trachinotus ovatus) and response to oxidized fish oil and LPS administration

Aquaculture Reports, 2020
Keap1 is an important component of Nrf2-Keap1 signaling pathways. However, information about Keap1 in T. ovatus is quiet limit. Thus, the full length of Keap1 was cloned from T. ovatus in this study.

Keap1 recognizes EIAV early accessory protein Rev to promote antiviral defense.

PLoS Pathogens, 2022
The Nrf2/Keap1 axis plays a complex role in viral susceptibility, virus-associated inflammation and immune regulation in host cells. However, whether or how the Nrf2/Keap1 axis is involved in the interactions between equine lentiviruses and their hosts ...

The isoquinoline PRL-295 increases the thermostability of Keap1 and disrupts its interaction with Nrf2

iScience, 2022
Summary: Transcription factor Nrf2 and its negative regulator Keap1 orchestrate a cytoprotective response against oxidative, metabolic, and inflammatory stress. Keap1 is a drug target, with several small molecules in drug development.

FAM129B, an antioxidative protein, reduces chemosensitivity by competing with Nrf2 for Keap1 binding. [PDF]

, 2019
BackgroundThe transcription factor Nrf2 is a master regulator of antioxidant response. While Nrf2 activation may counter increasing oxidative stress in aging, its activation in cancer can promote cancer progression and metastasis, and confer resistance ...

Nrf2/Keap1/ARE signaling: Towards specific regulation

Life Sciences, 2022
The Nrf2 transcription factor governs the expression of hundreds genes involved in cell defense against oxidative stress, the hallmark of numerous diseases such as neurodegenerative, cardiovascular, some viral pathologies, diabetes and others. The main route for Nrf2 activity regulation is via interactions with the Keap1 protein. Under the normoxia the

Natural Products as Geroprotective Modulators in Diabetic Nephropathy: A Mechanistic Framework Integrating Aging Hallmarks and the AMPK–SIRT1–Nrf2 Axis

Aging and Cancer, EarlyView.
Natural products target the aging kidney in diabetic nephropathy by restoring the AMPK–SIRT1–Nrf2 axis, reducing oxidative stress, inflammation, fibrosis, and cellular senescence while enhancing mitochondrial biogenesis and antioxidant defenses.

Viral delivery of antioxidant genes as a therapeutic strategy in experimental models of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis. [PDF]

, 2013
Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a progressive neurodegenerative disorder with no effective treatment to date. Despite its multi-factorial aetiology, oxidative stress is hypothesized to be one of the key pathogenic mechanisms.
