Nuclear factor erythroid 2 – related factor 2 and its relationship with cellular response in nickel exposure: a systems biology analysis

The Effect of Black Seed Oil as Adjuvant Therapy on Nuclear Factor Erythroid 2-Related Factor 2 Levels in Patients with Metabolic Syndrome Risk

Nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 (Nrf2) is one of the transcription factors involved in providing endogenous antioxidants. Black seed oil (BSO), suspected have antioxidant effects that can be used to modulate the expression and levels of Nrf2. The study aims to determine the effect of BSO as adjuvant therapy on levels of Nrf2 to the patients with metabolic syndrome risk. The re...

Interplay between Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor (VEGF) and Nuclear Factor Erythroid 2-related Factor-2 (Nrf2)

Background: Several studies have suggested that decreasing VEGF levels might result in placental oxidative stress in preeclampsia. Results: VEGF activates Nrf2 in an ERK1/2-dependent manner, protecting against oxidative stress, and, in turn, up-regulates VEGF expression. Conclusion: Reduced VEGF bioavailability may lead to aggregation of oxidative stress and result in preeclampsia. Significance...

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

A protective role of nuclear factor-erythroid 2-related factor-2 (Nrf2) in inflammatory disorders.

Nuclear factor-erythroid 2-related factor-2 (Nrf2) is a key transcription factor that plays a central role in cellular defense against oxidative and electrophilic insults by timely induction of antioxidative and phase-2 detoxifying enzymes and related stress-response proteins. The 5'-flanking regions of genes encoding these cytoprotective proteins contain a specific consensus sequence termed an...

Role of Nuclear Factor Erythroid 2-Related Factor 2 in Diabetic Nephropathy

Diabetic nephropathy (DN) is manifested as increased urinary protein level, decreased glomerular filtration rate, and final renal dysfunction. DN is the leading cause of end-stage renal disease worldwide and causes a huge societal healthcare burden. Since satisfied treatments are still limited, exploring new strategies for the treatment of this disease is urgently needed. Oxidative stress takes...
