Transcription factor Nrf2-mediated antioxidant defense system in the development of diabetic retinopathy.
PURPOSE Increase in reactive oxygen species (ROS) is one of the major retinal metabolic abnormalities associated with the development of diabetic retinopathy. NF-E2-related factor 2 (Nrf2), a redox sensitive factor, provides cellular defenses against the cytotoxic ROS. In stress conditions, Nrf2 dissociates from its cytosolic inhibitor, Kelch like-ECH-associated protein 1 (Keap1), and moves to ...
متن کاملzing Radiation Activates the Nrf2 Antioxidant Response
nloaded transcription factor NF-E2-related factor 2 (Nrf2) binds the antioxidant DNA response element (ARE) to te important cellular cytoprotective defense systems. Recently several types of cancers have been shown rexpress Nrf2, but its role in the cellular response to radiation therapy has yet to be fully determined. In udy, we report that single doses of ionizing radiation from 2 to 8 Gy act...
متن کاملTert-butylhydroquinone attenuates the ethanol-induced apoptosis of and activates the Nrf2 antioxidant defense pathway in H9c2 cardiomyocytes
Tert-butylhydroquinone (tBHQ), an inducer of nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 (Nrf2), has been demonstrated to attenuate oxidative stress-induced injury and the apoptosis of human neural stem cells and other cell types. However, whether tBHQ is able to exert a protective effect against oxidative stress and the apoptosis of cardiomyocytes has not yet been determined. Thus, the objecti...
متن کاملMolecular mechanisms of Nrf2-mediated antioxidant response.
Nrf2 is the key transcription factor regulating the antioxidant response. Nrf2 signaling is repressed by Keap1 at basal condition and induced by oxidative stress. Keap1 is recently identified as a Cullin 3-dependent substrate adaptor protein. A two-sites binding "hinge & latch" model vividly depicts how Keap1 can efficiently present Nrf2 as substrate for ubiquitination. Oxidative perturbation c...
متن کاملNrf2 links epidermal barrier function with antioxidant defense
The skin provides an efficient permeability barrier and protects from microbial invasion and oxidative stress. Here, we show that these essential functions are linked through the Nrf2 transcription factor. To test the hypothesis that activation of Nrf2 provides skin protection under stress conditions, we determined the consequences of pharmacological or genetic activation of Nrf2 in keratinocyt...
