Disease relevance of Nfe2l2

 

High impact information on Nfe2l2

  • Because nuclear factor erythroid2-related factor 2 (Nrf2) governs basal and inducible GCLC and GCLM expression by means of the antioxidant response element (ARE), we hypothesized that aging results in dysregulation of Nrf2-mediated GCL expression [2].
  • Decline in transcriptional activity of Nrf2 causes age-related loss of glutathione synthesis, which is reversible with lipoic acid [2].
  • The present study investigated the repressing effects of activating glucocorticoid receptor (GR) on C/EBPbeta- and Nrf2-mediated GSTA2 gene induction and the mechanism [3].
  • The expression of the glutathione S-transferase gene (GST), whose induction accounts for cancer chemoprevention, is regulated by activation of CCAAT/enhancer binding protein beta (C/EBPbeta) and NF-E2-related factor 2 (Nrf2) [3].
  • Both Nrf2 and HO-1 levels were increased and co-localized with reactive astrocytes in the degenerating lumbar spinal cord of rats expressing the amyotrophic lateral sclerosis-linked SOD1 G93A mutation [4].
 

Biological context of Nfe2l2

 

Anatomical context of Nfe2l2

 

Associations of Nfe2l2 with chemical compounds

  • Dexamethasone-GR activation did not inhibit nuclear translocation of C/EBPbeta or Nrf2 nor their DNA binding activities induced by oltipraz or t-BHQ [3].
  • Coordinate regulation of glutathione metabolism in astrocytes by Nrf2 [11].
  • In addition, we show that the redox-sensitive transcription factor Nrf2 is highly expressed in the nuclear fraction of cells exposed to the NO- generator and that this effect is totally abolished by the presence of N-acetyl-L-cysteine [12].
  • 4-Hydroxynonenal induces adaptive response and enhances PC12 cell tolerance primarily through induction of thioredoxin reductase 1 via activation of Nrf2 [13].
  • The current study was designed to investigate the role of peroxynitrite in Nrf2/ARE activation and rGSTA2 induction [14].
  • CO produced by HO-1 rescues PC12 cells from nitrosative stress through induction of GCLC, which is mediated by activation of phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase/Akt and subsequently Nrf2 signaling [15].
