Correlation Between Nuclear Factor E2-Related Factor 2 Expression and Gastric Cancer Progression

Correlation Between Nuclear Factor E2-Related Factor 2 Expression and Gastric Cancer Progression

BACKGROUND Nuclear factor E2-related factor 2 (Nrf2) plays an anti-oxidative and phase II detoxification function via its up-regulation on various antioxidant response elements (ARE) genes. Nrf2 can protect both normal and cancer cells from damages of cell stress, thereby exerting a critical role in the development of cancer. The expression and significance of Nrf2 in gastric cancer, however, h...

Nuclear factor-κB1 expression levels in human gastric adenocarcinoma

NF-κB pathway is a link between inflammation and cancer and is involved in cellular responses to different stimuli. Gastrointestinal lumen is exposed to many inflammatory agents such as foods, free radicals and bacterial or viral antigens. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the possible role of NF-κB1in gastric adenocarcinoma. To detect the relative level of NF-κB1transcript, total RN...

Clinicopathological significance of nuclear factor 1 ( erythroid - 2 ) - related factor 2 ( Nrf 2 ) expression in gastric

Correlation between human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 expression level and efficacy of trastuzumab beyond progression in metastatic gastric cancer.

There is currently no clinical data regarding the efficacy of trastuzumab treatment for the progression of human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2)-positive advanced gastric cancer (AGC) occurring during trastuzumab-based chemotherapy. The aim of this study was to retrospectively examine the clinical benefits of trastuzumab for HER2-positive AGC patients who progressed during first-line ...

Nuclear factor E2-related factor-2 (Nrf2) is required for NLRP3 and AIM2 inflammasome activation.

Despite the number of extensive studies on the immune function and signaling of inflammasomes in various diseases, the activating mechanism of inflammasome, especially the NLRP3 inflammasome, is not fully understood. Nuclear factor E2-related Factor-2 (Nrf2), a key transcription factor that regulates cellular redox homeostasis, has been reported to play both protective and pathogenic roles depe...
