Pterisolic Acid B is a Nrf2 Activator by Targeting C171 within Keap1-BTB Domain
The use of chemoprotective agents to minimize the side effects of the chemotherapy, primarily via activation of the Nrf2 pathway, is an emerging research field, which has attracted broad attention from both academia and pharmaceutical industry. Through high-throughput chemical screens we have disclosed that pterisolic acid B (J19), a naturally occuring diterpenoid, is an effective Nrf2 activato...
متن کاملMicroRNA-7 activates Nrf2 pathway by targeting Keap1 expression.
Nuclear factor E2-related factor 2 (Nrf2) is a key transcription factor that regulates the expression of a number of antioxidant and detoxifying genes that provide cellular protection against various stressors including reactive oxygen species (ROS). Nrf2 activity is tightly regulated by a cytoplasmic inhibitory protein called Kelch-like ECH-associated protein 1 (Keap1). The mechanism that cont...
متن کاملThe Keap1-BTB protein is an adaptor that bridges Nrf2 to a Cul3-based E3 ligase: oxidative stress sensing by a Cul3-Keap1 ligase.
The Nrf2 transcription factor promotes survival following cellular insults that trigger oxidative damage. Nrf2 activity is opposed by the BTB/POZ domain protein Keap1. Keap1 is proposed to regulate Nrf2 activity strictly through its capacity to inhibit Nrf2 nuclear import. Recent work suggests that inhibition of Nrf2 may also depend upon ubiquitin-mediated proteolysis. To address the contributi...
متن کاملActivation of Nrf2 by arsenite and monomethylarsonous acid is independent of Keap1-C151: enhanced Keap1-Cul3 interaction.
Drinking water contaminated with arsenic, a human carcinogen, is a worldwide health issue. An understanding of cellular signaling events in response to arsenic exposure and rational designing of strategies to reduce arsenic damages by modulating signaling events are important to fight against arsenic-induced diseases. Previously, we reported that activation of the Nrf2-mediated cellular defense...
متن کاملTargeting the KEAP1-NRF2 System to Prevent Kidney Disease Progression.
BACKGROUND Nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 (NRF2) is a critical transcription factor for the antioxidative stress response and it activates a variety of cytoprotective genes related to redox and detoxification. NRF2 activity is regulated by the oxidative-stress sensor molecule Kelch-like ECH-associated protein 1 (KEAP1) that induces proteasomal degradation of NRF2 through ubiquitina...
